The 6-foot-5, 270-pound senior from Beaumont, Tex., will apply black-and-blue licks to your body from sideline to sideline if you’re near the football and wear some thing other than SMU red-and- silver. Just ask Coaches Woody Hayes of Ohio State or Darrell Royal of Texas or Emory Bellard of Texas A&M. “Kelcher covered the ground from tackle to tackle,” said Hayes earlier in the year after the Buck eyes beat the Mustangs. “That was the reason we did not run our full backs very much.” “Kelcher is so quick for a big man, ” said Texas quarterback Marty Akins. “He’s so strong I tried to block him on a sweep and he knocked me five yards. We laughed at it looking at the films. There I was flying through the air and Kelcher was just running along—I don’t think he ever felt me.” “I thought our fullbacks could carry the ball, but Kelcher just clog ged up the middle,” marveled Royal two weeks ago. Kelcher made an incredible 16 unassisted tackles and 8 assisted tackles and recovered a fumble Saturday as SMU stunned fifth- ranked Texas A&M 18-14. It earned him The Associated Press National Lineman of the Week award. T’ve never seen a defensive lineman have a greater game in all my years of coaching,” said SMU Coach Dave Smith. “He was out there making tackles on reverses, screens. Texas A&M runs a reverse screen and Louie stops the ball car rier for a one-yard gain . . . unbe lievable. ” Bellard added “Everywhere we were, there he was. That’s one guy we didn’t expect to see make a tackle on a screen pass. He was all over the field. He’s a heck of a foot ball player.” Kelcher was an All-SWC tackle his sophomore year then his world caved in. He came to school over weight in 1973, 290 pounds and in jured an ankle. He went from a pos sible All-American to nobody. “I decided I was going to give it everything I had this year and just see what happened, ” Kelcher said. “The A&M game was the biggest thrill of my life.” Pro scouts are swarming to the SMU workouts. Asked where he thought Kelcher would go in the draft. Smith smiled and held up one finger—first round. Kelcher has overcome any brand put on him during his junior year that he didn’t care about football. “The next time someone says Louie’s not a player, he’ll have to answer to me,” said John Stanfield, a center for Rice University who had to live with a Sunday after a Satur day across the line from Kelcher.

Tech rates up there with Texas, Texas A&M and SMU in ability, size and muscle.” By the Associated Press The Oklahoma Sooners sup planted Ohio State Monday as the No. 1 colege football team in the country. While Ohio State was losing to Michigan State 16-13 on Saturday, Oklahoma trounced Missouri 37-0 and knocked the Buckeyes from the top spot of the weekly Associated Press poll. Ohio State, which had been No. 1 for seven consecutive weeks, fell to fourth behind Ok lahoma, Alabama and Michigan. Oklahoma received 48 first-place votes and 1,198 of a possible 1,240 points from a nationwide panel of sports writers and broadcasters. “It’s a tremendous honor to be AP’s No. 1 team,” said Coach Barry Switzer. “We play three good foot ball teams in the next three weeks, and we re gonna try to hold on week by week. We’ve got the ball now, and it’s up to us to carry it.” The Sooners were ranked No. 1 in the preseason poll and through the first week of the regular season, when they did not play. The next week, though, they beat Baylor 28-11 but fell to third. They climbed to second two weeks later and have been runners-up to Ohio State ever since. Alabama, a 30-0 winner over Louisiana State, received 10 first- place votes and 1,102 points.
