Battalion Staff
Coach Emory Bellard shares the
title of Dean of Southwest Confer
ence coaches with Baylor coach
Grant Teaff. Both men have been
SWC head coaches for five years.
Bellard faces the second of three
SWC first-year coaches, F. A. Dry,
when the Texas Aggies travel to
Fort Worth to play TCU Saturday.
Coach Lou Holtz, whose Arkan
sas Razorbacks defeated the Aggies
in Kyle Field last Saturday, and
coach Fred Akers, whose top-rated
Texas Longhorns come to College
Station on Nov. 26, are the other
two newcomers to the conference.
Before becoming head coach at
TCU last December, Dry was on
the coaching staff of the University
of Tulsa and the Houston Oilers. As
head coach at Tulsa, Dry led his
team to four straight Missouri Valley
Conference titles and was honored
as MVC Coach of the Year in 1974,
1975 and 1976. He was on the Oil
ers’ coaching staff when they were
AFL Eastern Division champions in
1967.
In Dry s first season with TCU,
the Horned Frogs ended a 15-game
losing streak with a 35-15 victory
over the Rice Owls. The Frogs also
defeated Miami (Fla.) 21-17, giving
them as many victories this season
as they had in the three previous
seasons combined.
The Horned Frogs have a 2-7
overall record so far this season.
They are 1-5 in conference play with
games left against the Aggies and
Baylor.
No, TCU is not a winning team.
Its last winning season was in 1971.
Looking at their schedules of recent
years, it is no wonder that the Frogs
have fared as poorly as they have.
Along with having to face the big
SWC teams every year, TCU has
also played Penn State, Notre
Dame, Ohio State, Arizona State,
Alabama and Nebraska at least once
since 1971. They were also out
classed by USC 51-0 earlier this
year.

Ironically, it was TCU that won
the first Cotton Bowl, in 1937. The
Horned Frogs defeated Marquette
16-6.
TCU will not go to the Cotton
Bowl this year. At most, the Frogs
can spoil A&M’s chances of going to
the prized post-season contest by
defeating the Aggies Saturday.
A&M will be highly favored, how
ever.
“TCU is a much improved foot
ball team,” coach Bellard said in a
Tuesday press conference.
“They love the passing game,” he
said of the Frog offense, “They
throw every type of pass that can be
thrown.
“They like to use the split-back
veer and drop back passes. They
also have excellent receivers.”
Bellard was referring to TCU
seniors Mike Renfro and Tony Ac-
comando.
“Of course, everyone knows Mike
Renfro and what he can do, coach
Dry said.
' What Renfro can do is catch. Last
year, he caught 42 passes for 773
yards and three touchdowns. Going
into the season, Renfro, a two time
all-SWC player, needed only 43
catches and 320 yards to break Jerry
Levias’ records and become the best
receiver in conference history.
Accomando was moved from
ning back to flanker last spii
From the running back position I
year, he caught 19 passes for
yards and one touchdown.
“Accomando made the
from running hack to flankerwl
problems," Dry said.

“TCU runs a 5-2 defense,
lard said. “They are strongii
middle on defense.”
Will an offense that likes top
and a defense that is strong in
middle spoil the Aggies’Co#
Bowl dream? Only time will tell

MILWAUKEE — Out-fielder
Larry Hisle, the American League’s
RBI leader with the Minnesota
Twins last season, said Monday he
believes he’s close to contract
agreement with the Milwaukee
Brewers.
“I am tickled to death about Mil
waukee. I hope that my agent and
the Brewers can get something for
malized,” Hisle told sportswriter
Lou Chapman of The Milwaukee
Sentinel.
But he said offers from the New
York Yankees, California Angels and
the Twins were still being
ered.
Hisle, picked No. 1 byth
ers in the re-entry draft, saidhei
would like to see the Brewersi
Lyman Bostock, his outfield
mate and friend with the T*
Bostock was the Brewers
selection.
“If they can get Lyman, Id
to Milwaukee to sign,” he said
they had someone like Lyman

have something. I can’t seeanytl
