He’s a 5- 10, 195-pound senior and a re turning defensive starter for the Arkansas Razorbacks. The above description, taken from the Raz orbacks’ 1972 Press Guide, might create instant problems for some players, but not Williams. His solution is simple. “I'm a crazy man on the football field,” Williams says. “Being short may hurt some, but I hope to think that I can out-quick and out smart the offensive guy most of the time. “I love to go out there and play rough and clean,” he added. “I guess you could call it the killer instinct — I love to get out on that field and hit.” That’s Les Williams, a player called “a leader” by his team mates and “a fierce competitor” by his coaches. He refers to foot ball as his No. 1 love, but admits that he would also like to play in the school band. Football is a serious matter, he says, but at Petty, Allison Have Showdown Scheduled At Texas 500 Race Cowboys Struggle To 28-24 Victory Tlxe At-Ease Overplaidl Woolen Business Suit.

Morton, who took over from Super Bowl hero Roger Staubach after the darling of the Dallas’ fans was injured during the ex hibition season, threw three touch down passes and set up the fourth TD with his tosses in the nation ally-televised game. With cheers instead of boos ringing in his helmet for a change, Morton wowed the sellout crowd of 65,000 in Texas Stadium with a 38-yard touchdown throw to Billy Parks and a 33-yard scor ing shot to Calvin Hill on Dallas’ first two possessions. He also dropped off a short screen pass to Mike Montgom- ei-y for 27 yards to set up one-yard plunge by Montgomery for a touchdown and collaborated with the second-string running back on a 15-yard scoring pass The victory kept the Cowboys within one game of Washington in the National Conference East with a 5-2 record while the loss dropped Detroit into a tie with Green Bay at 4-3 for the lead in the NFC Central. Dallas built up a 21-14 half time lead as the Lions scored on a two-yard run by quarterback Greg Landry, who also threw run ning back Altie Taylor a short pass which turned into a 40-yard touchdown play. Both defenses stiffened in the second half as Detroit tallied on a 17-yard field goal by Errol Mann and Morton threw his third touchdown pass—the 15-yarder to Montgomery. Landi-y narrowed the gap in the waning moments when he threw a 21-yard scoring pass to Larry Walton with 1:36 left. Bobby Allison continued to close the gap on Richard Petty’s lead in the NASCAR Winston Cup Point Standings by winning the American 500 at Rockingham last Sunday. Bobby Petty and Allison have engaged in a hotly contested bat tle all season which will come to a showdown in the third annual Texas 500 at the Texas World Speedway on Sunday, November 12th. Petty will be seeking his third consecutive win at the mammouth Texas facility and his fourth Grand National championship. Another title for the Randleman, North Carolina native would make him the first driver in the history of NASCAR to accom plish such a feat.

Foyt and Johnny Rutherford along with ARCA’s Ron Hutcherson won’t make anything easier for the NASCAR drivers entered in the Texas 500. The high-flying Foyt has already beaten them in two out of three outings this season and the versatile Ruther ford is always capable of win ning any race he enters. Hutch erson will return fresh from his victory in the Royal Triton ARCA 300.

Williams started every game of the 1971 season at defensive end, although he had never played the position before last year. “I made the big switch last year, and it wasn’t easy,” he said. “I was a linebacker j past, and I remember dit) back to cover receivers of rushing the passer wheel began to play at end,” But the major problems been ironed out after 13 at the new post.
