Baylor quarterback out for year
The Baylor Bears received some
bad news yesterday. Number one
quarterback Sammy Bickham, who
was injured last Saturday against the
SMU Mustangs, is lost for the sea
son.
"They have a very talented
squad,” coach Emory Bellard said.
"But they haven’t reached their po
tential' because of injuries. Losing
Bickham will hurt them, no question
about it. They have some great
players, though, who can help the
team’s cause.”
But, without Bickham, the Bears’
chances against the Aggies are bleak.
Replacing an injured center is one
thing, yet replacing a quarterback is
an entirely a different matter.
There have been five quarterbacks
injured in the Southwest Conference
this year. Some members of the
press say that the opposition is to
blame.
"To say that an opposing team goes
out there on the field to try and in
jure the quarterback is wrong,” Bel
lard said. I know that Ron Meyer
did not have a plan to hurt Sammy
Bickham. It was just one of those
things.
I have a bag of mail saying that
that was our plan against Tech. The
press helps this kind of talk along.
Allison was injured on a good clean
hit. He was trying to scramble out of
the pocket and our man wouldn’t let
him go.”
"It is wrong to imply this kind of
thing. A quarterback can easily be
injured in option football. He is more
likely to be hit than a straight drop-
back passer.”
Greg Wood will replace Bickham
at quarterback. He has a fine offen
sive unit to work with, and should
have no problem operating the
Bears’ attack.
Baylor has three fine wide re
ceivers,” Bellard said. “If the ball is
in their direction, you can bet one of
them will catch it.”
Toinmy Davidson and Ronnie Lee
have caught 10 passes so far this sea
son. Lee, a big strong tight end,
caught an 80-yard touchdown pass
against the Ags two years ago. Bo
Taylor, the other outside threat for
the Bears, has caught nine passes
this season.
The Bears’ leading ground gainer
is Greg Hawthorne. He has rushed
for 300 yards in four games.
“Baylor has four fine running
backs who can take it in from any
where on the field,” Bellard said.
“Our defense will have to play ag
gressively in order to keep the score
down. ”
‘Til say one thing about Baylor,
they have a darn aggressive kicking
game. They are excellent on punt
and kick-off coverages. It was that

HOUSTON — The Houston Oil
ers think so much of the Pittsburgh
"Steel Curtain” defense that they
devised a special offense just to block
it.
In the “Pitt offense,” as Houston
coach Bum Phillips described it, ex
cellent blocking fullback Tim Wilson
lined up two steps behind the line erf
scrimmage and centered between
the right guard and tackle.
The alignment had some success
as Houston gained 98 yards on the
ground and gave quarterback Dan
Pastorini excellent pass protection in
a 27-10 win over the Steelers Sun
day. Wilson, sometimes taking a
handoff from the unusual position,
carried II times for a 5.6-yard aver
age.
The offense, which Phillips de
scribed as “not new but very rarely
seen,” was so specialized that the
Oilers only installed it to operate on
the right side.
The coach said his team likely will
never use it again.
Houston overcame a 10-7 halftime
deficit with 10 third-quarter points.
Then, with quarterbacks out of both
sides in the fourth quarter, Houston
added 10 more points because of the
mistakes of safety-turned-
quarterback Tony Dungy.
The Oilers (3-1) lead the AFC
Central Division by one game over
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Cleve
land. The Oilers host Cleveland
Sunday and then travel to
Pittsburgh.
style of play that won it for them last
weekend. I don’t think their squad is
weak anyplace.”
Defense has been the Bears’
strong suit in conference play. They
held the Mustangs to just three
points. Texas Tech only managed 17.
“Defensively Baylor is a fine foot
ball team,” Belard said. “They have
missed Johnson at nose guard, but
his replacement has done a good job.
Few men on defense are better than
Johnson.”
“They have one of the best secon
daries in the country. You better
have a passer who is accurate, or you
can bet they will wind up with the
football.”
The Bears lead the conference in
pass defense, but against the rush’
they have had their problems. The
secondary was fantastic against the
Mustangs last Saturday.
“They completly shut down one of
the best passers in the conference,”
Bellard said. “We have some new*
wrinkles in our offense that we hope
will, keep them off balance. ’

NEW YORK — Willie Randolph,
a low wattage in his club’s power-
packed lineup, homered in the sixth
inning then doubled and scored the
winning run on Paul Blair’s 12th-
inning single Tuesday night to give
the New York Yankees a 4-3 victory
over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the
first game of the World Series.
The Yankess mounted their win
ning rally against reliever Rick Rho
den, the fifth Dodgers’ pitcher,
when Randolph led off the 12th with
a double into the right field corner.
Rhoden then issued an intentional
walk to Thurman Munson and Blair,
a late-inning replacement for Reggie
Jackson in right field, drilled a 2-2
pitch for a single to left after failing to
sacrifice twice.
Sparky Lyle, the Yankees’ answer
to the Red Cross, saved the victory
with 3 2-3 scoreless innings to gain
credit for his third straight post
season triumph. Lyle also won the
last two American League payoff
games against Kansas City and now
has a string of 10 1-3 scoreless in
nings in post-season competition.
The Yankees, an underdog, now
need three more victories in the
best-of-seven series to win their first
championship since 1962. The sec
ond game of the series will be played
at Yankee Stadium Wednesday night
with the teams then switching to Los
Angeles for the next three games be
ginning Friday night. Burt Hooton
will pitch for the Dodgers Wednes
day against Jim “Catfish” Hunter,
who will be making his first appear
ance or the Yankees since Sept. 10.
The Dodgers, who had fallen be
hind 3-2 on Munson’s runscoring
double in the eighth inning,
bounced back to tie the score in the
ninth when southpaw Don Gullett
finally ran out of gas after a strong
effort.

When you think about it—isn't the point of life
reaching outi Only when people are
secure, brave and open enough to reach
out to others does life begin to yield the
joy, the fulfillment, we expect from it.
Most of us think we are reaching out:.
for the job, the future, others in need, th?
ones we love. But, if we're honest, we aren't
reaching out at all. We're simply grabbing for
security: a life that's safe, predictable, and
only goes so far...limited, and
perhaps, limiting.
THE PAULISTS believe in reaching out: to
people who need to hear The Gospel, people
who are lonely and confused, people searching
for truth, for something to believe in—in college
dorms, on city streets, in slums, in suburbs,
or wherever they may be.
We reach out because we're missionaries of
the Catholic Church, a group of priests dedicated
to proclaiming The Gospel in our times because
we believe God is reaching out to every one of us.
If you think you can reach out as we do,
if you think God may be calling you to a life of
service as an inventive, modern, dedicated priest,
write THE PAULISTS—a group of men who
share a holy vision and live that vision
in a free and friendly way.
THE PAULISTS
