he defensive tackles and junior
Mike DeNiro, the 6-0, 200-pounder
from Youngstown, Ohio, was a
pick at defensive end. Junior
Dave Elmendorf (6-1, 196) was
named at safety.
James Street, the do-it-all quar
terback for the Texas Longhorns,
was selected as the Player of The
Year. The SWC coaches picking
the team felt that Street’s all-
around ability in running the
Wishbone T offense of the Long
horns made him the most valu
able player.
Oddly, Street finished second
in the balloting for the first team
quarterback spot behind SMU’s
Chuck Hixson. Other first team-
ers selected were wide receivers
Gary Hammond of SMU and
Cotton Speyer of Texas, tackles
Bob McKay and Bobby Wuensch,
both of Texas, guards Jerry Dos-
sey of Arkansas and James Ray
of TCU and center Rodney Brand
of Arkansas.
Joining Stegent in the back-
field were Bill Burnett of Arkan
sas and Jim Bertelsen of Texas
with Steve Worster of Texas at
fullback.
On defense, Bill Atessis of
Texas and Richard Campbell of
Tech joined DeNiro at end with
Rick Kersey of Arkansas joining
Odom at tackle.
The linebackers were Glen Hal-
sell of Texas, Cliff Powell of
Arkansas, and Bruce Portillo of
SMU. The defensive backs were
Denton Fox of Tech, Terry Stew
art of Arkansas, and Pat Curry
of SMU joining Elmendorf.

Here’s One Driver Who
Doesn’t Mind Scraps
By Hans Adam
Battalion Staff Writer
“You have to convince yourself
that you can’t win, and make up
your mind to run for what’s left.”
That was the reaction of E. J.
Trivette of Atlanta, when asked
how it feels to race against fac
tory sponsored racing teams.
“You can’t possible win, so you
just lay back and pick up what
the ‘hot dogs’ don’t want, said
Trivette.
He has been doing a whale of
a job of picking up scraps all
season. Trivette, who has been
active in stock car racing for over
15 years, has been running among
the point leaders all year. With
a finish at Texas International
Speedway’s first annual Texas
500 he could share in the more
than $100,000 that is deposited
in the drivers’ point fund, Trivette
said.
At Sunday’s race, which starts
at 1 p.m., look for Trivette’s
white Chevelle with the red num
ber “08” in the back of the pack
and remember that this is “grass
roots racing the way it was in
the old days.”
Trivette, whose best finish this
year was a 13 place finish at the
Firecracker 400 in Daytona, does
all his racing without support of
any kind, according to him.
Trivette said the biggest blow
to the independent racer is Fire
stone’s decision to get out of
racing.
“With no competition tire prices
are going to go out of sight.”
According to Trivette, he may try
as many as eight sets just for
this race. Each track requires a
different type of tire, Trivette
said.
When asked about his choice of
car Trivette said “It’s cheaper.”
Trivette went on to explain that
while he is able to purchase any
thing “Chevrolet makes,” Ford
Independents are unable to buy
the good parts that make the
factory teams so competitive. He
went on to say that while Chevro
let is not producing “racing”
hardware those parts that he is
able to purchase make him more pendents with their “wore out and
competitive than the Ford inde- obsolete hardware.”
