ARMY ROIC 845-2814 By PAT EDMONDSON One Lubbock evening in Oc tober of 1968, Darrell Royal was pacing the sidelines in typical fashion with a troubled expres sion on his face. He glanced over and uttered to a motionless body. “You take it on the next series of downs. ” Number 16 pranced into the orange and white huddle and an era had begun. James “Slick” Street adroitly commanded the Texas Longhorn attack and 18 games and two Gotten Bowls later the ‘Horns had their third national championship in grasp. Recall that momentus 100th anniversary of college football when the ‘Horns edged Arkansas in the sport’s Game of the Cen tury. Street’s phenomonal per formance in Fayetteville still lin gers in the hearts and minds of orange and white supporters. Royal’s substitution came about when Bill Bradley’s incon sistency in operating the novel wishbone formation put the Longhorn momentum in a nut shell. The previous week, Emory Bellard had installed the prema ture offense in a futile move to get the orange and white punch churning. Three straight season records of 6-4 had boggled UT coaches and now seemed the time for a little flair and original ity. Bxadley pioneered the new at tack in the season opener against Houston but the spark was mis sing as the Cougars salvaged a 20-20 tie. Against Texas Tech the succeeding week, Bill Bradley started his final collegiate game as quarterback in a disasterous af fair. The Red Raiders shocked Texas, 31-22. “Superbill,” as he was often referred to in his glori ous high school days, had yielded the starting nod to an unknown defensive back hailing from Longview, Texas. A victim of un timely publicity, Bradley went on to become one of the premier de fensive backs in the conference. Almost two weeks ago, the un certainty which Darrell Royal ex perienced on that fateful autumn night in 1968 pounded at his brain. The quarterback enigma struck him again as he observed two talented figures each putting in their bid for the distinguished honor of taking the snap from center. Ted Constanzo was the local favorite for the role, a blue chip per from state ranked San An tonio Churchill who was highly recruited by schools across the state. Constanzo was called upon the previous year as a freshman when wishbone operative Marty Akins sustained a serious knee in jury. But what bothered Royal at this time was the presence of an obscure, but determined indi vidual also from San Antonio. His name was Mike Cordro, a walk- on who caught the attention of UT coaches from day one. Both Cordro and Constantl had logged time with the nunM one offensive unit. With the ll grid season less than three wtt| away, Royal realized a d had to be reached. In a gutsy move, the UT nw tor named the newcomer as li man, citing that he badly needs I a lx)dy to direct the startingd fense. Though the pair pttf formed on an even level, felt he had to assign one th of calling the signals. So it is only fitting that ini emergence of Corder comesaii time when the Longhornsareii such a desperate need of a qua. terback with leadership.

Allison, a junior, had been run ning a close battle with the strong- armed Dunivin and Sloan indicated during spring training a possibility “I had been thinking about 1978, but decided a lot of things can hap pen between now and then,” Sloan told touring Southwest Conference writers. Sloan laughed and added, “Some body might shoot me with a harpoon before 1978.. .you just can’t tell what will happen. Both quarterbacks will be ready to go for our opener against Colorado.” Sloan indicated that both Dunivin and Allison will see plenty of action. “If one is not doing well, then I will play the other quarter back... well kind of play it by ear, ” he said. Sloan, a former All-American quarterback under Bear Bryant at Alabama, said, “I don’t remember ever having two guys thatcapal quarterback on the same team, of them are winners.” Sloan said Tech’s offense emildir] superior and had high praise forlif offensive line.
