Defending co-champion Houston and Baylor open fall training Tues day, with the other seven reporting Thursday.

How ever, the starting backfield of quar terback Danny Davis and running backs Alois Blackwell and Dyral Thomas returns intact as the Cougars set their sights on non-loop tilts against a pair of’76 bowl teams, UCLA and Penn State. The UH- UCLA game will be nationally tele vised the night of Monday, Sept. 12. Arkansas, under new coach Lou Holtz, also gets its share of last year’s top finishers as the Razor- backs host Tangerine Bowl winner Oklahoma State and Independence Bowl loser Tulsa on successive Saturdays in September. A league- high 43 lettermen return to help open the Holtz era. Two other head coaches are near ing their first season in the SWC — Texas’ Fred Akers and TCU’s F. A. Dry. A total of 12 returning starters, including a healthy Earl Campbell, will help usher in the I-formation to the Texas offensive attack in the time for non-conference games against Oklahoma, Virginia and Bos ton College. Oklahoma won the ’76 Fiesta Bowl after settling for a tie against Texas early in the season, while the Virginia game will mark that team’s initial appearance against a SWC representative. TCU’s version of the “Dry Look will feature one thing that hasn’t changed — a tough non-conference schedule. Among the Frogs’ oppo nents in ’77 will be Rose Bowl champion Southern California and Miami, which holds an all-time winning edge over the SWC. But Dry will see the return of 42 letter- men and 16 starters as a plus for the new campaign. Besides Houston, the Southwest Conference sent both co-champion Texas Tech and Texas A&M on to post-season bowl games, in ’76 and both squads return veteran units. The Raiders, defending SWC co champs, return 16 starters and 42 lettermen. Peach Bowl participant North Carolina highlights Tech’s non-conference schedule. The Aggies, sporting a seven- game win streak, lost 12 starters off last season’s Sun Bowl champions and eight of those were from the nationally-ranked defensive unit so coach Emory Bellard faces a big task replacing all-America Robert Jackson, Tank Marshall and Jimmy Dean. And he’ll have to do it quickly as the Aggies travel to Ann Arbor on October 1 for a nationally- televised tilt with powerful Michi gan. SMU continues a rebuilding pro gram under second-year coach Ron Meyer, who finds 16 starters and 37 lettermen back from last season, in cluding all but two defensive players. Meyer’s first order of busi ness will be to find a quarterback to replace Ricky Wesson in time for the Mustangs’ initial encounter, a SWC clash with TCU Sept. 10. Then three weeks later (Oct. 1), SMU has a date in Dallas with Ohio State. First-time opponents are on the regular-season schedules of five con ference teams this fall as Arkansas hosts New Mexico State, Idaho is at Rice, Houston battles UCLA, Texas goes against Virginia and Tech plays at North Carolina. jrklar me-b Baker to com Arkansas tra United Press Internatior USTON — Baltimo ibition win over the l s Sunday was a si jlcoming for Colts >rback Mike Kirklanc econd-year pro wht school ball at si —, | ena , Tex., Kirkland’ at the University of lit short by a knee in. is senior year. er Colts starter Be four for 11 in the f and came in with the s He completed six Former Texas A&M t® Shifton Baker, the So»»' Conference intermediate!
