DALLAS — It’s not divulging
any game plans to point out that six
Southwest Conference football
players will be marked men in 1977.
They’re all on the pre-season all
conference team named by Dave
Campbell’s Texas-Arkansas Football
Magazine and between them
they’ve won eight individual statis
tical championships the last two sea
sons.
Conference schools, opening the
63rd SWC season Sept. 10, return
five players who won six statistical
championships last year and three
other who grabbed four in ’75.
The six are 1975 scoring and tan
dem offense champion Earl
Campbell of Texas, ’76 rushing and
scoring champion George Woodard
of Texas A&M, ’76 punting cham
pion Russell Erxleben of Texas, ’75
pass receiving champ Mike Renfro
of TCU, ’76 rushing champ Ben
Cowins of Arkansas and ’76 inter
ception leader Anthony Francis of
Houston.
Also back to add to the star sys
tem are last year’s punt-return king,
Arthur Whittington of SMU, and'
75 tandem leader Jerry Eckwood of
Arkansas.
The SWC will have more proven
runners than at any time in recent
seasons with last year’s top seven
rushers returning. Cowins edged
Woodard for the title by nine yards
with Houston’s Alois Blackwell
finishing third, Baylor’s Gary Blair
fourth, Whittington fifth, and a pair
of fleet freshmen, A&M’s Curtis
Dickey and Texas’ Johnny (Lam)
Jones, sixth and seventh. Also re
turning are ninth-placer Billy Taylor
of Tech and Eckwood, who was
tenth.
And that, of course, ignores Earl
Camnbell who was unranked after
missing four games with a leg in
jury.
Campbell enjoyed a strong spring
training under new coach Fred
Akers and appears ready to chal
lenge for the all-time SWC career
rushing title.
The 220-pound senior from Tyler
is currently in seventh place, 618
yards away fiom the record of 3,317
set by Arkansas’ Dickey Morton in
1971-73.
Returning from last seasons’s con
sensus all-conference team are four
offensive players, two defensive,
and both the punter and place-
kicker. There are also four members
of the consensus ’75 first team who
didn’t repeat last year.
The ’76 returnees are Renfro, of
fensive tackle Dan Irons of Texas
Tech, Woodard, Cowins, Erxleben,
defensive noseguard Gary Don
Johnson of Baylor, Francis and

A&M place-kicker Tony Franklin,
who set NCAA records with field
goals of 64 and 65 yards on succes
sive tries against Baylor last year.
Returning from the ’75 consensus
team are Renfro and four who didn’t
repeat last year — Campbell,
Baylor safety Ron Bums, Texas De
fensive tackle Brad Shearer, and
Arkansas kicker-punter Steve Lit
tle.
The punting crew appears as solid
as the runners, with last year’s top
five returning. Erxleben led the na
tion with a 46.6 average, while Lit
tle challenged at 44.4. Three
feshmen followed — SMU’s Ken
Rosenthal at 43.0, Baylor’s Luke
Prestridge at 40.1 and A&M’s David
Appleby at 39.7.
And place-kicking accom
plishments bordered on the unbe-
lieveable in ’76 with the same feet
around for new feats in ’77. Little,
later named to the Football Writers
Association All-America team,
broke the conference record with a
61-yarder, only to see Franklin top
that twice in the Baylor game.
Little gained consolation by set
ting an all-time conference career
record of 34 field goals, with one
season still to play. However, that
man Franklin is shadowing the Ar
kansas hooter there, too — Franklin
has 29 with two seasons to play and
coach Emory Bellard obviously isn’t
afraid to call on the 170-pound
sidewinder from distances of up to
70 yards.
Among the guys who play catch,
five of the top eight passers and five
of the top seven receivers return.
Biggest offensive loss in the
SWC, of course, was all-America

We love making
America’s favopiTe^"
hamburgers.
And that’s why we
don’t put anything into
them except USDA
inspected, 100% pure
AMERICAN beef.
No tendprizers. No
fillers. No chemicals.
In fact, the only
thing we put into our
hamburgers besides pure
beef is tender loving care.
So, when you buy a
McDonald’s hamburger,
you know that what’s not
beef is bun. Or catsup.
Or pickles. Or onions.
Or mustard.
Or love.
We do it all for you
