Dallas Cowboy Coach Tom Landry said he had decided to start fining missing tailback Tony Dorsett $1,000 a day for not reporting to the National Football League team’s training camp.

Landry said the fines against Dorsett, who was due to report to camp in Thousand Oaks last week, were effective as of Tuesday night. Dorsett still had not reported as of Wednesday evening and was not expected.

Dorsett owes the Internal Revenue Service $414,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest and has yet to appear at camp while he tries to negotiate a better contract. His deadline for reporting was last Thursday night, but team officials at the time granted him an extension to help him iron out his affairs.

Meanwhile, Drew Pearson, the leading pass catcher in the Dallas Cowboy history, was hired by the team to help coach their receivers during the training camp.
