For Information Call: 845-2916 Crocker Wins Dorm Football In the final game for Intra mural flag football dorm cham pionship, Law fell to Crocker. The quarterbacks made the dif ference. True to form, John Hawthorne dominated the game, making the only legal touchdown and pass ing the ball with accuracy for Crocker. Law’s QB, Greg Valdez, showed some talent but didn’t seem to meet the mark. Law also had trouble with their receiver, Pat Kelly, who missed important catches. Valdez tried passing off to John Taylor. This move worked fine until Crocker started batting down passes. Crocker’s defense was led by Jim Hacker and John Woods. This defense was in the right place at the right time. They managed to force Law into punt- in gtwice, and an interception by Kermit Smith. Law also made interceptions, causing hand-overs. Brent Coop er led off the Law interceptions with Gleri Whitehead making a catch which could have told a different story about the winning team. f\ pent house 1 located at plantation oaks apts open to the public By KEVIN COFFEY, Sports Editor Last week was a strange one in the sports world. Upsets were the word of the day in college football and Bill Peter son bit the dust as the Oiler’s head coach. I always wondered why the Oilers hired Peterson in the first place. His record at Florida State was good but not in the same class with Penn State’s Joe Paterno or Darrell Royal or LSU's Charlie McClendon. Rice had a miserable 3-7-1 season during Peterson’s brief visit but Oilers owner Bud Adams hired him with the shortest “life time contract” in football. If anybody deserved to get canned it was Peterson. He showed he just didn’t have what it takes to win in the world of pro football. Peterson once said he could win with five top players in college. He quickly found out he needed many more in the NFL. Now it’s time to get out the crystal ball and take a look at Southwest Conference football. This week is another tough one with a lot of close games expected. Texas faces Arkansas in a battle of conference un- beatens. Both teams have two losses, Texas dropping games to Oklahoma and Miami (Fla.) and the Razorbacks falling to USC and Oklahoma State. Texas’ loss to OU was embarrasing to Royal and UT in general. The 52-13 loss was the school’s worst defeat since 1908 and Royal’s worst beating as a coach. Royal, college football’s winningest coach over the last seven years, said Oklahoma simply had a better team. Perhaps this is the understatement of the year. Arkansas, on the other hand is the coming team in the conference. After losing their first two, the Razorbacks have run off three wins in a row. Only two teams have beaten a Royal coached team three years in a row, OU the last three and Arkansas in ’64-’66. This game is not shot out of national prominance like it has been in years past since neither team is ranked in the top 20. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p. m. in Fayetteville and Texas is a 13-point favorite. The game has slight possibili ties for an upset but I doubt it. TEXAS 28; ARKANSAS 17. Rice hosts SMU at 7:30 p. m. in Rice Stadium with everybody wondering what Owl coach A1 Conover will do next. Conover invited over 100 Catholic Priests to cheer for his Owls last week when Notre Dame came to town. It had little effect. Notre Dame won 28-0. SMU had last week off but picked up national stature. The Mustangs lost to Missouri two weeks ago and every body said the Mustangs couldn’t beat a fair team, let alone a good one. Missouri proved they are more than the fair ball club by beating Nebraska last week. SMU beat Rice 29-14 last year. The Mustangs can battle Texas for the conference crown if they stay healthy. SMU is a 13-point favorite. SMU 28; RICE 13. Houston’s Cougars get their first real test of the season when they travel to Florida to face Miami. Miami beat Texas and gave Oklahoma a battle before falling 24-20. Houston, 5-0, has been erratic this season. They fell behind 17-14 at half to lowly Virginia Tech before rallying for a 54-27 win. The game pits UH’s powerful offense against Miami’s tough defense. The bookies rate this one a toss up. Kickoff is Friday night at 7:30 in the Orange Bowl. MIAMI 15; HOUSTON 13. Texas Tech victors over the Aggies last week, face 19th ranked Arizona at Tucson. Tech has let A&M and Oklahoma State beat themselves via fumbles and interception in posting a 4-1 record. Arizona is 5-0 but numerous patsies have graced their schedule. The Red Raiders are talking about a major bowl and still hope they can find a back door into the conference championship. Game time is 7:30 p. m. and the unranked Raiders are a six-point pick. TEXAS TECH 24; ARIZONA 15. The battle among 1 the leading money winners on the Ladies Pro- jfessional Golf Circui|t resumes Friday with the first round of the Tribune-Herald Ladies Golf Clas sic at Lake Waco Country Club. Leading money winner Kathy Whitworth, a former champion in Waco, is one of the favorites alony with Judy Rankin of Mid land. Mrs. Rankin won the Tucson LPGA tournament last Sunday and. trails Miss Whitworth by $500.
