SWC rosters reveal

THE BATTALION Page 9
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1975
From AP and Special Services
While women in collegiate athle
tics continues in the news, it should
be pointed out that the Southwest
Conference football rosters prove
the sport is open to all. On the 1975
rosters, you’ll find a Bull (Arkansas),
a Parrott (Baylor), a Peacock (Hous
ton), a Bass (TCU), a Drake (Hous
ton), a Trout (Rice), Beavers (SMU)
and Roaches (A&M).
Nor is race, creed or color
excluded. Baylor’s Black is white,
there are Whites at A&M and Ar
kansas, Houston’s Redd is black and
there are Greens, Browns and
Grays. Baylor’s Grayless, of course,
can’t be categorized.
There’s a Rose (Rice), a Bean
(A&M), Lemons (A&M) and a
Burger (A&M). For dessert, how
about Cherry (Houston) Maltz
(A&M)?
There are Cousins (Arkansas) and
Brothers (Baylor). No sisters, but
there are a Bishop (TCU), a Monk
(A&M), a Pope (Tech) and Parsons
(at SMU, where else?) playing or
coaching in the SWC in 75.
While some French (Houston)
and English (Houston) Jette (Texas)
setters prefer Monaco (Tech) to the
SWC, Boston (Rice) headed West
(A&M) without benefit of a New
(A&M) Ford (Texas) Carr (A&M) as
his Price (Houston) for signing the
Register (A&M). Not even a Minor
(Texas) infraction there.
Despite Fears (Baylor) expressed
in some Fields (A&M) that football
is over-emphasized, SWC grid ros
ters include a Ball (Rice) and Batts
(Texas). Unfortunately, Glover
signed to play outside the SWC.
However, the SWC has welcomed
Ropers (Arkansas), Lopers (Rice),
Skinners (Arkansas), Jumpers
(Baylor), Riders (Texas) and Rollers
(Texas). There’s a Wood (TCU), and
Irons (Tech) and a Hooker (TCU).
Milestones should fall like
hailstones this autumn. Texas A&M
needs five wins to register its 400th
varsity football victory, while SMU
has won 299 games and Rice 298.
Texas’ Darrell Royal, already holder
of the most SWC victories, will
claim his 100th SWC decision with
the Longhorns’ first conference
triumph this fall.
Going to the extremes, Joe Bob
Bizzell of Texas is the SWC s smal
lest footballer in 1975 at 5-7 and 142
pounds. A&M’s Billy Lemons, 131
pounds heavier than Bizzell at 273,
is the heaviest. Tallest, one foot and
one inch over Bizzell s head, is
SMU’s Steve Brown at 6-8. But look
out for the Cougars next year —
Houston junior tackle David Brooks
is 280.
7972 Indy 500 winner
dies after brain surgery
GRAZ, Austria —— Race driver
Mark Donohue, in a coma since suf
fering brain injuries Sunday in a
crash during practice for the Aust
rian Grand Prix, died late Tuesday
of complications after surgery, The
Associated Press learned.
Donohue, 38, the 1972 In
dianapolis 500 winner, died at ap
proximately midnight local time, 7
p.m. EDT, of complications that
arose from the three-hour operation
to remove a blood clot from his
brain.
Donohue was hit on the side of his
helmet with debris as his car
crashed through four rows of catch
fences and some billboards along
the racecourse.
At first it was thought he had suf
fered no other injuries than a mild
concussion in the crash. After being
checked over at the track hospital,
he complained of a worsening
headache.
He was rushed to Landes Kran-
kenhaus hospital in Graz after he
went into mild convulsions.
Donohue’s death was announced
by a spokesman for his car owner,
Roger Penske, a close personal
friend and a long-time associate.
Penske, along with Donohue’s wife
Eden and father Mark Sr., were at
Donohue’s bedside here.
Donohue, who had driven exclu
sively for Penske since 1966, was
one of the
sport’s most versatile and successful
performers. He had won 57 major
professional races, including NAS
CAR Grand National events. Sports
Car Club of America races and three
U.S. Auto Club events.
One of the sport’s $1 million
career winners, Donohue retired
Feb. 15, 1974 after winning the In
ternational Race of Champions at
Daytona. However, he agreed to
drive Penske s new Formula I entry
in 1975 and 1976. Penske had origi
nally contracted the late Peter Re-
vson to drive the car.
Donohue, a Brown University
engineering graduate, won the
Trans-Am and Can-Am series
championships, the 24 Hours of
Daytona, the U.S. Road Racing
Championship and was SCCA
Driver of the Year in 1965.
Just two weeks ago Donohue had
set the world’s closed-course speed
record of 221.160 miles an hour in
his old Can Am car.
U.S. grounds
fighter bombers
WASHINGTON — The Air
Force has grounded 240 Fill
fighter bombers to inspect them for
possible engine defects. The
grounding was ordered alter fire
broke out in an Fill as it was pre
paring to take off at Nellis Air Force
Base in Nevada. No one was hurt in
the incident. A check of the Nellis
Fill turned up cracks in turbine
blades.
Although the SWC set total at
tendance and per-game average at
tendance all-time records in 1974,
only two stadium records fell — the
50,200 who saw Texas A&M at
Baylor and the 54,622 delighted
Razorback fans who sat in on the
Little Rock massacre of Southern
Cal.
A quartet of SWC schools will be
seeking to improve upon national
marks established over the past five
seasons. During that time, Tech has
had the nation’s third best pass de
fense (99.0) while A&M has been
eighth best (108.5) Houston has
managed the seventh best defense
against the run per game (130.6).
Offensively, Texas is sixth in scoring
offense, second in rushing offense
and ninth in total offense. Houston
is sixth in rushing and fourth in total
offense.
Freshman soccer style kicker Al
varo Arenas, a native of Colombia,
impressed Rice football coach Al
Conover Tuesday as the Owls con
tinued their fall drills in shorts prior
to putting on pads Thursday.
Arenas, a slim 5-7 148-pounder
being groomed to replace Alan
Pringle, booted several kicks bet
ween the uprights from 55 yards out
and also was consistent at closer
ranges.
Jim Kelley, a letterman
linebacker from Smyer, also par
ticipated in the workout and officials
said he appeared recovered from a
knee injury that forced him to miss
spring training.
The Owls will begin two-a-day
workouts Thursday and Conover
has slated the first full scrimmage
for Saturday night.

If you can’t take the heat
...get out of the kitchen.
This seldom helps.
Planning will.
For instance, it’s the only way to protect yourself
against financial emergency. But how to find the
best plan for you and your family?
Talk things over with the man from Provident
Mutual. You’ll find him helpful, low-key and very
understanding. Be frank with him. Openly discuss
your objectives with him . . . college for the kids,
retirement income, security in general. He’ll come up
with a program that will be both efficient and
economical.
It’s his job to keep your head clear.
