before that a mere .468.
Other than Baylor, the largest
surprise this year has come from the
Texas Longhorns, who lost a one-
point game to USC in Los Angeles
to start the season and has now won
five in a row.
The Longhorns crushed pre
viously unbeaten Oklahoma State
last week in Stillwater, 108-69.
Other than the tournament action
the schedule is light this week.
Houston will try to bounce back
from its double loss in Arizona to
night against Southwestern while
Rice will play Florida State Tuesday
evening. And on Saturday night
SMU — which has already played
and lost at Kentucky, Kansas State
and Kansas — will travel to Indiana
while Texas visits Centenary.
Cowboys stop
49ers 42-35
United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO — Roger
Staubach passed for three
touchdowns, scored once himself
and set up 14 other points Monday
night in leading the playoff-bound
Dallas Cowboys to a 42-35 victory
over the San Francisco 49ers.
In helping the Cowboys over
come four touchdown passes by the
49ers, Jim Plunkett, Staubach, who
had not passed well in his two pre
vious games, was brilliant. Staubach
three 36 yards to Preston Pearson,
20 to Tony Dorsett and 22 to Butch
Johnson, running his season total to
17.
In addition, Staubach ran a yard
for a touchdown after setting up the
drive with a 38-yard pass to Drew
Pearson and put the Cowboys in
position for two more scores. The 42
points were the most allowed by the
49ers since 1969, a span covering 21
games.
Plunkett more than matched
Staubach, throwing four scoring
passes as the 49ers helped put on a
good show for the final Monday
night telecast of the season. Plun
kett threw scoring passes of 10 yards
to Ken Harrison, 27 to Gene Wash
ington, one to Delvin Williams and
47 to Paul Seal.
