SWC draws another tough year

DALLAS — The Southwest Con
ference can claim the strongest
non-conference football schedule in
its 61 seasons.
Among the arguments for the
1975 schedule, underway Saturday,
Sept. 6:
The 28 teams that will play 32
games against the SWC this fall in
clude 17 that posted winning re
cords last season and two more that
broke even;
Ten of those teams won eight or
more games last season, including
two (Oklahoma and Alabama) that
posted 11-0 regular-season marks;
Four of them finished in the top
ten in both the Associated Press and
United Press international polls;
And eight of them won bowl invi
tations following successful 74
campaigns.
Rice, TCU and defending champ
ion Baylor draw the toughest as
signments, based on previous track
records.
The Owls’ four foes won 28, lost
14 and tied two in regular-season
EL MONTE ROCND-CP
play, and three of them went
through bowl encounters without a
loss. Houston, playing its last season
as an independent before joining
the SWC race in ’76, and Missis
sippi State both went 8-3 last year
and Vanderbilt was 7-3-1. All three
were bowl participants, Mississippi
State winning the Sun Bowl and
Houston and Vandy playing ties in
the Bluebonnet and Peach, respec
tively. Mississippi State’s only los
ses were to major-bowl participants,
Alabama, Auburn and Florida.
Rice’s fourth foe is, LSU. That
game will be on the road (at
Shreveport), while the other three
are in Houston.
A bowl a week is set for Rice.
Since SWC foes Baylor, Texas and
Texas Tech went bowling last year,
the Owls count six bowl teams
among their 11 opponents.
TCU’s four opponents are
Alabama (11-1), Nebraska (9-3),
Arizona State (7-5) and UT Ar
lington (1-10), a combined 74 re
cord of 28-19. Alabama was second
in the final UPI poll and fifth in the
AP, while Nebraska finished eight
in the UPI and ninth in the AP bal
loting. Arizona State, winner of five
straight Western Athletic Confer
ence championships, slipped to
third last season after dropping a
three-point decision to eventual
champion Brigham Young.
Baylor struggles against Michigan
(10-1), one of the nation’s most con
sistent winners of the 1970’s, and
Auburn (10-2), the Southeastern
Conference power that walloped
Texas in the Gator Bowl. Adding to
Auburn’s fury this fall, the
Plainsmen have dedicated this sea
son to Ralph (Shug) Jordan, their
coach of 25 years who retires after
this campaign. South Carolina (4-7)
and Mississippi (3-8) are the other
dates as Baylor’s ’75 foes compiled a
27-18 record last year.
Among the other strong
schedules, Arkansas plays a pair of
eight-game winners and a bowl vic
tor and SMU plays two teams that
won eight games and two bowl
teams.
The Razorbacks four foes posted
a 25-20 mark last year, with both
Missouri Valley Conference champ
ion Tidsa and Utah State going 8-3
and Oklahoma State (7-5) defeating
WAC champion BYU in the Fiesta
Bowl.
SMU’s opponents were 21-24-1
last fall, but both Florida and Hous
ton were 8-3 in regular season to
earn bowl trips. West Virginia was
4-7 and opening-game for Wake
Forest was 1-10.
The Texas schedule includes a
composite 21-22-1 record with Col
orado State (4-6-1), Washington
(5-6) and Utah (1-10) leading up to
the non-conference closeout with
Oklahoma. The Sooners are unde
feated the last two seasons and
finished number one in the AP poll,
being ineligible in UPI voting.
New Texas Tech coach Steve
Sloan opens against Florida State
(1-10), which sounds comforting
until you remember that the
Seminoles led Baylor by 17-0 at the

half last year, dropped an 8-7 deci
sion to Alabama, defeated strong
Miami of Florida, and lost a three-
point decision to Eastern toughie
Pitt. From there the Raiders take on
New Mexico (4-6-1), potent Ok
lahoma State (7-5) and WAC
runner-up in Arizona (9-2), posses
sors of one of the nation’s top won-
lost records last year. It adds up to a
20-24-1 composite won-lost record.
Texas A&M, the pre-season SWC
favorite, meets four solid teams
from major conferences — Missis
sippi (3-8), LSU (5-5-1), Illinois
(6-4-1) and Kansas State (4-7). Their
records total out to 18-24-2 but they
include victories over MVC champ
Tulsa, Tennessee, Colorado, Stan
ford and Minnesota.
In all, the 28 SWC opponents
won 163 regular-season and four
bowl games for an average of around
six victories apiece. The 4-2-2 bowl
record would have been a perfect
8-0 with just nine more points.
From the SWC point of view, the
1974 records promise strong com
petition for the strong opposition of
1975. SWC teams won 18 non
conference games last year, a total
that has been topped only one time
since Tech joined up to make it an
eight-team family in 1960. The
SWC has finished on the winning
side of the non-conference ledger in
four of the last five seasons and 53 of
the 60 years it has been operating. 11
also marked the first time since
1963-65 that the SWC lias posted
three straight winning non
conference seasons.
But the SWC posted winning
non-conference record for its first 28
years straight, from 1915 through
1942, so that record is safe until
2000 AD.
Newcomb
has knee
operation
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Austra
lian tennis star John Newcombe un
derwent surgery Tuesday to remove
damaged cartilage from his left
knee.
Orthopedic surgeons from the
University of Texas Medical School
at San Antonio said that “everything
went just fine.”
“This injury occurred about 10
weeks ago — we re not exactly sure
when, said one of the surgeons.
“He can t document it precisely.
However, Newcombe, still
groggy' from anesthetics but cheer
ful, said he injured the knee June 12
in Pittsburgh, Pa.
“My knee went one way and my
foot stayed on the ground, ” be said.
That came during a World Team
tennis match against Vitas
Gerulaitis.
“Once I recover I don’t anticipate
any trouble coming back, New
combe, 31, said.
His plans were to remain at bis
San Antonio home for five weeks
before traveling to Hawaii and
eventually to bis native Sidney, Au
stralia.
Newcombe might be back at full
speed for tournament play in about
three months, the doctor said.
“We re anticipating at this time that
he’ll be able to go back and hit
ground strokes in about six weeks.”
Newcombe, a friendly, mus
tachioed man with dark shaggy hair,
was expected to remain in the hospi
tal for several days.
“We ll have him up walking to
night,” the doctor said.
Newcombe trains at his TBar-M
Tennis Ranch at New Braunfels,
Tex., 30 miles north of here.
