ames,
Weiskopf still was playing on pro-
Btion Saturday when he ignored the
siii n that called the players off the
th* B* 1 / 56 ’ s 'S na I was a warning that
1 *a thunderstorm was approaching,
ieargued with his playing partners,
Jjrry Pate and Danny Edwards,
out continuing play, then tead off
on the 18th hole and completed his
round.
sedrewrai doing so, he kept about 250
fry wbo Jfc’ t , lat , 0r , s from reaching shelter.
‘gainst a itW , r
se waseJi e ’ mars ' ia ^ s stopped the gallery
then across -walk and kept them there
jp ” '■'hi after Weiskopf had hit his sec-
pnd shot to the green.
I wanted to get in, ” said one
Ionian in the gallery. “There was
1 tfitning aU around. / was' scared.
And the marshals kept us standing
there.”
Weiskopf was disqualified on
Sunday.
Under the rules of golf, a player
has the option of completing a hole
after the siren has blown. He is not
allowed to start another hole, as
Weiskopf did.
Weiskopf was notified of his dis
qualification by telephone. At that
time, he told a tour official he heard
the siren but thought it may have
been an ambulance and was not cer
tain it was the siren calling players
from the course.
No official announcement was
made of the fine and probation as
sessed against Weiskopf over the in
cident at the Westchester Classic in
suburban New York. The actions,
however, are common knowledge
among the other touring pros.
There has been no official com
ment, beyond the disqualification, of
any further action against him for last
weekend’s activity.
All disqualifications, however, are
reviewed on a routine basis by
Commissioner Deane Beman in the
PGA Tour headquarters in Washing
ton. In view of the fact that the latest
incident occurred while Weiskopf
was on probation, further action is a
distinct possibility.
Those actions could range from an
additional fine to a suspension of his
playing rights on the tour.

Baylor in Arizona
By PAUL ARNETT
Battalion Sports Editor
Every sports writer has a compel
ling urge to predict his top ten in
college football. If he were smart he
would stop there, but this brave in
dividual puts his foot deeper into his
mouth by predicting who will win
the individual conferences, in my
case the S.W.C.
So without any further adieu, let
us run through my choice of the na
tion’s top ten. 1) Arizona State, 2)
Oklahoma, 3) Nebraska, 4) Michi
gan, 5) Notre Dame, 6) Ohio State,
7) Alabama, 8) Southern California,
9) Texas A&M, 10) Penn State.
Most sports writers would now go
into a long dissertation telling the
reader why these are his personal
favorites. He would probably ex
plain the personnel of each club, the
schedules each club has, the offen
sive formation they use, and the
coach and his ability to field a team.
Just two words describe why I
chose my top ten. Pure hunch.
The S.W.C. chase is a little harder
to predict. The favorite of most
writers is Texas, but four other clubs

Cordaro gets Royal nod
Texas Coach Darrell Royal
Monday named sophomore Mike
Cordaro, a walk-on a year ago, as the
Longhorn’s No. 1 quarterback.
Royal moved the San Antonio na
tive to the first team after a two-hour
workout Monday afternoon.
“It’s very close, the battle be
tween Cordaro and Ted Constanzo, ”
Royal said, “but we felt the need to
have a quarterback work with the
first team to get the cadence down —
this is very important to a team.
“We’ve studied hard and long on
this and felt that it was best for the
team to name a No. 1 quarterback,”
Royal added. The Longhorn mentor
said the quarterback situation could
change any time.
Cordaro was put on scholarship at
mid-season last fall after handling
the signal calling chores for the scout
team.
Royal also announced that sopho
more Johnny Jones of Hamlin was
running with the first offensive unit
at left halfback while offensive guard
Rick Ingraham had been elevated to
a No. 1 position.
Ingraham, a junior from Austin
Westlake, replaced Allen Rickman,
who was moved to No. 2 left tackle.
YAUN WINS AT HOME
GROSSINGER, N.Y. (AP) —
Radford Yaun, 20, a junior at
Jacksonville, Fla., University,
was right at home when he won
the New York State Amateur
gold title with a 72-hole score of
295. The Liberty, N.Y., resident
was playing his home course at
Grossingers here when he shot
rounds of 74-75-74-72. Yaun
scored by six strokes.

have a good shot at the title. First
come the predictions, then the rea
sons. 1) Baylor, 2) Texas A&M, 3)
Texas, 4) Houston, 5) Arkansas, 6)
S.M.U., 7) Texas Tech, 8)T.C.U. 9)
Rice.
I know most of you who have
trudged this far through the column
are shocked, but let me explain my
reasoning. Baylor has a very good
schedule. They open up with Hous
ton at home, then have three non
conference games. An interesting
development takes place after
these four games. Over the next ten
weeks Baylor plays seven games. Be
fore each tough opponent, they
either have an easy game, or an open
date. This gives them time to pre
pare for their tough games, an occur
rence too often overlooked when
assessing a victor.
Baylor not only has an excellent
schedule, but solid personnel. They
have an outstanding quarterback in
Mark Jackson, and two good running
backs in Cleveland Franklin and
Mike Ebow. Probably Baylor’s best
offensive weapon will be outside re
ceivers Alcy Jackson and Sonny
Davidson.
Defensively Baylor has some
problems. Two words describe that
plight, no experience. If this obsta
cle can be hurdled then the Cotton
Bowl will find a home for Baylor.
Texas A&M should finish a strong
second. The Ags have a good
schedule, having six home games,
yet play three tough teams on the
road in Arkansas, Houston, and
Texas. A&M will have an outstand
ing offensive team, fielding an excel
lent Wishbone backfield. Curtis Di
ckey is indescribable while George
Woodard is going to get four yards
every time his hands touch the ball.
Adger Armstrong is a good blocking
back and complements the
Wishbone quite well. The Ags also
have a strong offensive line but lack
the depth if an injury prevails.
Defensively the Aggies are strong.
The linebacking corps will be the
team’s strength. If the defensive
backs prove sound, then A&M’s de
fense will be as strong and quick as
ever.
Texas has 21 out of 22 starters re
turning...oh but the most important
position is missing, the quarterback.
This is the integral part of the
Wishbone attack, and without ex
perience at this position, the wheels
just don’t turn smoothly. Texas is so
strong at every position, but as A&M
found out last year when Shipman
was hurt, experience at quarterback
takes priority over everything else.
Houston and Arkansas are the
sleepers in the race, but neither
have the strength to overtake the
Cotton Bowl. Each are sound clubs,
but lack the leadership and experi
ence to be pickin’ Cotton.
The rest of the conference is weak,
but with a little luck they might pull
off the big upset.
All in all the race will be exciting.
Each team has some outstanding
players, and on that given Saturday
anyone can win. Hopefully the Ag
gies will be in Dallas January 1, but
they must beat Baylor at Kyle Field,
and hope someone else will catch
them napping. No one will go unde
feated, it’s just who has that one loss
that counts.
