AUSTIN-LOS ANGBiS-AUSTIN ‘135°° INC. TAX A. J. Foyt Nipped At Wire Buddy Baker Wins Texas 500 i IY L* ’71 INC. TAX VIA 747 HOUSTON — GENEVA — HOUSTON DECEMBER 26-JANUARY 4 DECEMBER 26 - JANUARY 9 Beverley Braley Tour*, Travel Memorial Student Center — 846-3773 Townshire Shopping Center — 823-6961 By KARL JACKSON Staff Writer Buddy Baker, driving an orange ’71 Dodge, staved-off repeated attacks by A. J. Foyt and Rich ard Petty to win the Texas 500 held at Texas World Speedway Sunday. Baker nosed out Foyt for the win with Petty right on his tail before an estimated crowd of 33,- 500 race fans. Although it was Baker who took the checkered flag, Petty was the victor also in the Win ston Cup Grand National Cham pionship for drivers. Based on finishes in previous races, Petty needed only to com plete 195 laps at the Speedway to outdistance his closest rival, Bob by Allison. This win makes Petty the only four-time winner in Grand National history. Foyt sat on the pole position in the 500 with the fastest quali fying speed of 170.273. Baker was second in the line up with a controversial time trial and a speed of 170.100. Petty and Alli son filled out the second row with Herschel McGriff. and Coo Coo Marlin in the third row. When the green flag dropped it was evident that it would be a close battle between Baker, Foyt and Petty. Foyt took the first lap lead with Petty, Baker and Allison close behind. Petty squeezed by Foyt for the second lap and Bak er jumped into the lead on lap three. From then on, Baker dom inated the race while still dicing with both Foyt and Petty. Baker led for 135 laps out of 250. Early in the race Foyt’s ’71 Mercury developed handling prob lems as did Allison’s Chevy. The Woods Brothers pit crew was able to cure Foyt’s problems but Alli son slowly dropped to finish fourth, one lap back. With Foyt’s Mercury temporar ily out of the picture, Baker and Petty were nose-to-tail for some very quick laps. Under the cool and overcast skys, Petty turned several laps over 170 mph. The quickness of the Woods Brothers pit crew put Foyt back in the race with speedy repair and refueling. The Petty crew also had the edge over Baker who was often last out of the pits during his 11 pit stops. The caution flag came out for one of its five appearances and gave Foyt a chance to make up lost ground. Under the caution, several of the race leaders pitted and took on fuel and tires. With 30 laps to go. Petty squeezed by Baker and attempted to stretch a quick lead. Running flat out, Petty’s ’71 Dodge heated up its tires and the handling de creased, giving Baker and Foyt a chance to catch up. Both Baker and Foyt were quickly around Petty’s slowing Dodge and running full-bore for the checkered flag. As the finish neared, it was Baker in the lead with Foyt try ing to jump into the lead at any opportunity. Petty had been put ting up a fight against his wild handling Dodge and was about two car-lengths behind. On the final lap, Foyt tried to sneak past Baker’s wide racer, but with no luck. Coming out of turn four and coming down the stretch, Foyt pulled within a nose of Baker and narrowly lost the checkered flag to Baker by two feet.

Washington State 9 LUBBOCK, Tex. _ Texas Tech Coach Jim Carlen said Mon day Baylor quarterback Neal Jef frey is similar to New York Jet quarterback Joe Namath in his college days. Carlen also announced that he was elevating three freshmen to the varsity squad. “Jeffrey reminds me of Nam ath and George Mira,” said Car len who faced those two during his days as an assistant coach at Georgia Tech. “He has a quick release and for that reason you can’t get to him,” Carlen added about the Bruin signal caller. Tech meets Baylor in Waco Saturday afternoon in a South west Conference football game. Carlen said Baylor wide re ceiver Charles Dancer would be the best Tech has faced this year. “He (Dancer) reminds me of the SMU boy Kenny Harrison but he has more experience,” said Carlen. “We’ll have a hard time with Jeffrey, Dancer and wing- back Brian Kilgore.” Elevated to varsity status after helping lead Tech’s freshman squad to an undefeated record were split end Willie Kent, tail back Rufus Myers, and fullback Angel Berlingeri. Carlen said starting defensive tackle Tim Schaffner will be lost for the season. He underwent knee surgery Sunday. r\ZC OO —Lv. Austin — 2:25 P.M. ZZ Arr. Los Angeles—5:44 P.M.
