MAIN 822-3119 DOWNTOWN BRYAN Cotton Bowl Clash the battalion WEDNESDAY, OCT. 8, 1975 Page 9 Okies and ’Horns to settle feud By PAT EDMONDSON Battalion Sports Writer This Saturday Texas and Ok lahoma will clash in one of college football’s greatest rivalries. The arch enemies will tangle for the 70th time with the Longhorns leading in the series, 42-25-2. The event is as unique as the cir cumstances surrounding it. The af fair will be staged in Dallas’ Cotton Bowl for the 46th consecutive year. In 1929, officials from both schools agreed upon the neutral site. Dallas is geographically halfway between Austin, Tex. and Norman, Ok lahoma, and therefore, supposedly neither team will have a definite home advantage. The ticket dis tribution is cut in half, 36,000 ducats being alloted to each school. The campaign promises to be more exciting than in recent years, although Oklahoma won in a thriller last year, 16-13. For the first time since the series was inaugurated in 1900, both squads bring 4-0 records into the contest. Both have attained high prominence in the polls. Since Texas has fallen short the past four years, Darrell Royal’s crew will be out for revenge. The Longhorns are off a 61-7 wal loping of Utah State last Saturday in Austin, while Head Coach Barry Switzer’s Sooners barely squeezed by Colorado, 21-20, in their Big Eight conference opener at Nor- It should be quite an offensive showing. Texas leads the nation in rushing, averaging 395 yards a game. They also hold down the top spot in scoring and in total offense. The matchup features the powerful blasts of fullback Earl Campbell versus the elusiveness of tailback Joe Washington. Campbell, a 230 pound sopho more from Tyler, has matured into a solid runner and blocker. He will undoubtedly receive national hon ors before he graduates. Washington, a high hurdling dancer from Port Arthur, has main tained a career average of 6.4 yards per carry in three seasons at OU and is considered the most feared punt return threat in the game. He finished third in Heisman Trophy balloting last year and could be tops this season. The confrontation also produces two of the premier wishbone opera tives in the nation, quarterbacks Marty Akins of UT and Steve Davis of OU. Both are three year starters with similar statistics. The Texas-Oklahoma battle can be compared with the Michigan- Ohio State, Auburn-Alabama, and the U.S.C.-Notre Dame rivalries. At stake is the coveted Cowboy Hat Trophy and a possible national championship. The Sooners have won 25 games in a row and are a 17 point favorite for the 2:00 p.m. kick-off. ’Sips move ahead of Ags in poll Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — Woody Hayes, perhaps mindful of the ex periences of his last three Ohio State squads, terms the Buckeyes’ selection as the nation’s No. 1 col lege football power “a rather pre carious one now.’’ Told of Ohio State’s ranking after a coaches’ meeting Tuesday, Hayes responded, “That means everybody will be pointing harder at us. “I feel like the fellow who was tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail. He said if it weren t for the honor, he would just have soon walked.” The Buckeyes climaxed their steady rise in the poll of a nation wide panel of sports writers and broadcasters by unseating season- long leader Oklahoma. Ohio State, fourth in preseason voting, picked up 47 of 62 first-place votes to 14 for the Sooners and owned a 1,178- 1,072 point edge. It marked the third consecutive season the Big Ten power has been No. 1. The Buckeyes paced the rankings for eight weeks before a 10-10 tie at Michigan in 1973. Last 1. Ohio St. (47) 2.

Did Hayes learn from those games? “You always learn something from games like those,” replied Hayes in a deserted team meeting room. “The thing you have to do is have consistency. And it’s nearly impossible to maintain consistency for 11 games.” Hayes has called the current Ohio State schedule, especially the first part, the toughest of his 25 seasons with the Buckeyes. Victims have been Michigan State, Penn State, North Carolina and UCLA. “This team has played as well as any I’ve had up to this point,” said the coach of three national champ ions. Hayes plans to work his squad hard this week, trying to avoid a letdown against visiting Iowa Satur day. The Hawkeyes have lost all four of their games this season. Southern California, which con ceivably could face Ohio State in the Rose Bowl for the fourth consecu tive season, maintained third place and collected the other first-place ballot. Nebraska retained No. 4 while Texas jumped two spots to fifth. Texas A&M stayed in sixth and Alabama moved from ninth to seventh. Michigan rode a victory over Missouri from 12th to eighth. Penn State moved from 10th to ninth and prepares to meet No. 10 West Virginia in an Eastern show down Saturday.

His first pitch to Joe Rudi was turned into a double play, started by shortstop Rick Burleson, and the A s three- year reign over baseball was virtu ally dead. The victory gave Boston its first league championship since 1967 and sent the Red Sox home to Fen way Park where they will open the World Series on Saturday. PITTSBURGH — Pinch-hitter Ed Armbrister’s sacrifice fly drove in the winning run in the 10th in ning Tuesday night, giving the Cin cinnati Reds a 5-3 triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates and the National League pennant. It was a team finish to a game that finished a duel of home runs and a record-equaling strikeout performance by Pittsburgh rookie John Candelaria and a last-of-the ninth Pirates’ rally that sent the game into extra innings. The Reds gained their seventh National League pennant in the 99-year history of the franchise with a pair of runs off 35-year-old Pittsburgh reliever Ramon Her nandez in the top of the 10th. Cincinnati outfielder Ken Grif fey startled the Pittsburgh defense as the leadoff man in the 10th in ning when he dropped a two-strike bunt in front of the plate and beat catcher Manny Sanguillen’s throw to first for a single. With Cesar Geronimo at bat, Hernandez committed a balk, al lowing Griffey to move to second.
