PARIS -- Defending champion Paris Saint-Germain moved five points clear of Monaco at the top of the French league after coming from behind for a hard-fought 2-1 win at last-place Ajaccio on Saturday. Ecco Baratas . Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi and France midfielder Blaise Matuidi scored, with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic setting up both despite having a poor game by his high standards. Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield. "We were playing against a team fighting for survival. They created chances but so did we, so I think its a fair result," Matuidi said. "The pitch wasnt easy to play on either, it was very dry. It did bother us a bit. But lets not look for excuses -- the main thing is that we won and that we keep moving forward. "Its good to win and keep that gap. Weve shown that well be there (at the end) and we wont give up." Lille can overtake Monaco and move into second place if it beats Reims at home on Sunday. After striker Edinson Cavani missed two chances, PSG cut through Ajaccios defence easily for the equalizing goal in the 41st. Cavani collected the ball in midfield from Ibrahimovic, turned and passed to Matuidi, whose pass released Ibrahimovic behind the defence and his cross from the right gave Lavezzi a comfortable finish from close range. Ibrahimovic made a sloppy start to the second half, and it was a rare sight to see him casually giving possession away several times, even failing with one easy cross from the left as he let the ball slip away from him. Ajaccio almost regained the lead in the 68th when Cavallis fine pass released Eduardo, and his shot from the right side of the penalty area forced goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu into a low save. Shortly after, coach Laurent Blanc made two changes as he tried to spark some life into his listless team -- taking off centre half Alex and bringing on playmaker Javier Pastore, and replacing Lavezzi with winger Lucas Moura. Blanc switched to a 4-4-2 formation and Cavani moved in from the right to join Ibrahimovic in attack. Moments later, PSG scored after a brilliant piece of skill from Pastore. The Argentine dragged the ball back and turned to hit a swerving pass over the Bastia defence. Ibrahimovic rose at the back post to head the ball down and Matuidi sprinted in to turn the ball past goalie Guillermo Ochoa. "Even though they had a lot of possession, I think we were hanging in there and looked solid, but that goal hurt us," centre half Ricardo Faty said. Eduardo went close in the 83rd when he slid in at the back post, but his shot hit the side-netting, and midfielder Paul Lasne headed wide when well placed after running onto Eduardos cross from the left. Ochoa made a great reflex save with his left foot to deny Cavani in the last minute. Later Saturday, it was: Bordeaux vs. Toulouse; Guingamp vs. Saint-Etienne; Lyon vs. Sochaux; Rennes vs. Nice, and Valenciennes vs. Bastia.

The lifelong Cowboys fan and former archivist for Campbells Soup has the job of consolidating and organizing more than 54 years of local football history.Youre only as a good as your collections, and youre only as good as what you can find in those collections, the 31-year-old Palestine native told The Dallas Morning News (http://bit.ly/13m2zlm).Thorn said that what hes discovered since July is impressive. His rough estimates are that the Cowboys have about 20,000 videotapes of various formats, thousands of film reels, thousands of footballs, cleats, jerseys and other memorabilia, and tens of thousands of photos, slides and negatives.This isnt unusual really, but more interesting than anything: pairs of practice shoes/cleats and game shoes/cleats from former players that still have the grass stuck all in the bottoms of them, Thorn wrote in an email.Important pieces of team history were saved, but finding any given item could be a difficult task for Cowboys staff. These pieces of the past were scattered around team headquarters at Valley Ranch and AT&T Stadium and warehoused at different storage facilities.Thorn is still in the early stages of understanding whats there and how it can help tell the story of the Cowboys.After 4 1/2 months of work, materials are still being consolidated at a nearly 2,500 square-foot climate-controlled section of the Cowboys marketing warehouse near Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.At some point, parts of the collection will be on display at AT&T Stadium and the The Star in Frisco, the teams new headquarters and commercial development. The Cowboys have opted for this approach over a pure hall of fame museum.Thorn found the original data reports from the early 1960s when Cowboys general manager and president Tex Schramm worked with IBM on computer programs to grade players available in the NFL draft. The documents include the methodology used to evaluate them.You can read about that in books and articles, he said. But to be able to see what they were looking at, at the time, is amazing.Among the films, Thorn has found footage of Cowboys exhibition games — whats now called the preseason — from the inaugural 1960 season. Those are the Cowboys earliest games.Little has been neatly placed on shelves yet, as Thorn continues cataloging the collection.Boxes with game-worn jerseys from 1990s and 2000s stars Leon Lett, Darren Woodson and Jay Novacek sit near stacks of film reels dating back to the start of the franchise. There are copies of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader scrapbooks dating back to the 1970s, one of former head coach Barry Switzers playbooks and a copy of a U.S. Senate subcommittee report on the 1964 professional sports antitrust bill.Every day, Im doing some cataloging, some boxing, some processing, some researching, some discovery, some evaluation, some digitizing, he said. Im going to do everything all the time.At one end, wooden pallets are stacked with boxes bound together with plastic wrap, waiting to be opened. Thorn isnt certain what hell find in those.Not all NFL teams have staff archivists or historians, and the ones that do take varied approaches.Cliff Christl, a retired sportswriter and now historian for the Green Bay Packers, arrived at his current job through his hobby. In retirement, he researched team history and created a Packers Heritage Trail tour.Unlike the Cowboys, little original material exists from the Packers early days.Nobody had any ideea that what they created in 1919 would grow into what it is, he said. Ecco España Baratas. Instead, Christl researched about 50 years of newspaper articles about the team and has taken at least 200 oral histories from former players and those familiar with the team. His history column appears weekly on the team website, and Christl is also writing exhibit panels for the renovated Packers Hall of Fame at Lambeau Field.Charlotte Anderson, Cowboys executive vice-president and chief brand officer, said the creation of Thorns job has long been in the teams plans. Since her father bought the team in 1989, she said, Jerry Jones has had a strong appreciation for Cowboys history.Anderson said he always insisted on photographing and documenting all that happened and saving everything found related to the franchise.Everything we do becomes a piece of history, Anderson said. That actual piece tells the story of who we are.That led the team to keep as much as possible of what it has produced during the last 25-plus years and hang on tightly to what was already there.Anderson said shes looked at old contracts with much different compensation packages, a reminder of how much the league has changed. For example, in 1966, running back Walt Garrisons signing bonus included a horse trailer.Its unlikely today that the same type of sweetener was part of the negotiations with quarterback Tony Romo or would be pitched to the agents of wide receiver Dez Bryant or running back DeMarco Murray.Much was kept from the franchises beginning, but Anderson said theres no way to know how much history was discarded.She once saw a photo of Cowboys founder Clint Murchisons office door with carvings of a trophy, helmet and stadium. She asked around about that door but learned that it was probably discarded when the team moved its headquarters from North Central Expressway in Dallas to Irvings Valley Ranch.Nothing like that is likely to disappear in the future.Thorn is cataloging both the teams past and present. The hundreds of thousands of items will be archived in the system hes created, while new material — such as video for in-game entertainment and printed documents — is preserved.The goal one day is to have the material digitally archived so staff can instantly find everything related to a specific moment in Cowboys history.A large amount will eventually make it to the public, too.Touch-screen video columns were installed at AT&T Stadium in the off season and give fans an in-depth glimpse at Cowboys players and history. The databases for those columns are expected to be supplemented with treasures Thorn finds.Some of the work involves transferring outdated media into digital formats that are easily shared. Those duties are similar to Thorns work as staff librarian and audio-video preservationist for the University of North Texas Music Library.Thorn received his bachelors and masters degrees at the Denton university. In keeping with his fascination with old technology, he wrote many of his papers there with a manual typewriter he rebuilt when he didnt own a computer.Other artifacts and photos will be appearing on Cowboys social media accounts, on the teams website and during game presentation.Thorns efforts are now spent on sorting what the Cowboys already have. Anderson said she could see the team eventually contacting fans with private collections and seeking to digitize those.We have fans all over who have incredibly interesting pieces of our history, Anderson said. Theres another layer to this.Anderson said the teams plans for a stand-alone Cowboys Hall of Fame at AT&T Stadium changed in the past few years. Instead, the team is now looking at spreading the collection throughout the stadium and The Star in Frisco.We dont want to just hang a star on the wall, Anderson said. We want to have the live part of that history.___Information from: The Dallas Morning News, http://www.dallasnews.comEditors note: This is an AP Member Exchange shared by The Dallas Morning News.
