GERARD A. O’DONOVAN Contributing Commentary A few weeks ago Coach Shelby Metcalf asked me what I thought we needed to do to beat the Longhorns. I had made the precalculation (edu cated guess!) for a Sports Illustrated letter, so I stuck to my guns. I said that Texas would not score more than 17,,under any circum stances. Could we score 18 or more? I felt positive that such was the case. That our final tally was but a score (20), was due only in part to the Texas defense! "Somebody up there liked them," as Bud Wilkinson would say! Master Marty Akins was fit and well then; I use the word “Master” on purpose after I read his childlike remarks in Thursday’s Dallas Morn ing News. Marty, you received one vote too many on the writer’s all- American team from this neck of the woods, and if you plan to be a profes sional, watch and listen to the young Earl Campbell. Had Kenny Stabler been quarterback of the Horns, the consensus, everywhere, even in Au stin, is that the result would have been the same! Thank the Texas defense for a far above par performance. Knight sues to dissolve 10 man rule BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The National Collegiate Athletic Associa tion hasn’t said how it will counter Indiana University Coach Bobby Knight’s court suit to eliminate the present 10-man basketball traveling squad restriction. But football Coach Bear Bryant of Alabama lost a similar football case to the association, which might counter-attack Knight virtually from the same position. The situation arose shortly after Aug. 15, when the NCAA adopted a rule limiting road teams to 48 players in football and 10 in basketball. About a week later, Bryant filed a class action suit against the NCAA and received a favorable verdict. A temporary injunction against the rule lasted just one game, however, before being suspended by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals which re fused to treat the case as “one of high importance.” This had the effect of denying a ^ quick hearing and placing the case well back on the docket where pre sumably it still exists. Knight’s suit is scheduled for a preliminary hearing at 9 a.m., EST, Saturday in Monroe Circuit Court here. It asks for a permanent injunc tion against the 10-man traveling squad rule. “Essentially it is an action I brought,” says the coach of the top- ranked Hoosiers. “I chose to do it on my own without involving the uni versity.” He also feels there is little in common with the Bryant suit be cause “basketball is an entirely dif ferent entity.” Reconsideration of limitations is expected during the NCAA conven tion next month. Meanwhile, the Atlantic Coast Conference coaches voted unanim ously to support Knight in his suit. SHARE THE RIDE WITH US THIS CHRISTMAS AND GET ON TO A GOOD THING.

They want Marty to play, in the worst way. So did we, but not as a hobbling passenger, as he was last Friday, but as the wizard that I called him many times this season. Constanzo, the kid, should have been named starter by Coach Roayl, from the beginning. Let Akins suit up and we would never know, and neither will Texas, now, if the magi cian at any moment might come in and do a Jurgenson on us! That Texas did not drop out of the top ten in either the AP or UPI polls is positive proof how good the Aggies are. One man who was up in the ABC-TV box was Frank Broyles, the tactical, tall precision coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks. He saw what he saw, and you can be sure he will have his lads primed for some kind of Aggieland steak. In our practices, this week, Coach Bel- lard knew it well. I watched the of fense twice and the defense once. I get frightened watching the defense! I have a hunch, that Coach Robertson will settle for nothing less than “broyled” pork chops, a la carte! There must be no let-down, for this one is for all the marbles. Those doubters of a few weeks ago have been decimated now, and do you know that many of them do not even remember their doubts? Daily they are joining the ever-growing Aggie band wagon, surprised, but unques tionably ecstatic. They too have waited eight years. Let-downs are not as frequent as the so-called syndrome myth I spoke of last week. They do happen. Green Bay beat Dallas recently, and last week powerful San Jose State (Pacific Coast Athletic Association Cham pions) wilted beneath the leis in Hawaii. A few years ago, Harold Wilson, Labor Prime Minister of Britain was shoe-in according to the polls to de feat his Conservative rival, Edward Heath, by the biggest margin in his tory. He lost. The reason was a fun damental one; to win, the public must vote! “Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out,” as John Wooden so suffi ciently put it in his book, “They Call Me Coach.” So it has been with our majestic Aggies this year. There is absolutely no reason to stop now and overconfidence is a word used only in loser’s locker rooms. Hurry! Hurry! A must for every desk.
