they spoke of Arkansas.
“Any team with Sidney Moncrief
can’t be all that bad,” Lemons said.
Arkansa tied Texas for the league
championship last year, but Marvin
Delph and Ron Brewer have
graduated, leaving Moncrief to
carry the bulk of the lead.
“There is no doubt in my mind
that everybody in the league will be
as good or better than they were last
year except us and maybe Hous
ton,” said Arkansas coach Eddie
Sutton.
“But Houston always has good ta

home. Everybody has to pick Texas,
but I think Texas will have some
tough spots.”
Baylor coach Jim Haller said he
thought the league had more ques

are so many good newcomers into
the conference.
“Texas is the choice everybody
makes, but Texas may not have the
toughness with everyone shooting at
them. Last year they were loose but
this year they might be trying not to

and one game behind Washington
in the NFC East. The Cowboys will
host the division leaders Thanksgiv

“It seems that when things aren’t
going too good for us, everyone is
pointing the finger at me,” Dorsett
said. "When you’re down, they
want to talk about you and write bad
things about you.”
Dorsett, who said the criticism
has caused him to quit reading
newspapers and magazines, had not
played up to expected standards in
the past three games and was disci
plined through limited playing time
last month when he slept through a
team meeting and did not intorm
Cowboys’ officials.
“I feel like the press is trying to
run me out of town, he said.
“I’m hurt about all the articles
that have been written. It hurt to
read them. I don’t think it is right
when people use that kind of story
just to make headlines.”

Mutes laden with Blue Maguey pinas on their way to Cuervo’s La Rojenaplant
Since 1795 we’ve gathered our
Blue Magueys for Cuervo Gold
the gentle way
Its the old way And still
the best.
At Cuervo we know that there is only one way to make
Cuervo Gold perfect. The way we’ve been doing it for more
than 180 years.
ThaVs why people still nurture our fields of Blue
Maguey plants. And why mules are still used to bring
these precious plants to our distillery. Fbr tradition is still
the most important ingredient in Cuervo Gold.
This is what makes Cuervo Gold truly special. Neat,
on the rocks, with a splash of soda, in a perfect Sunrise or
Margarita, Cuervo Gold will bring you back to a time when
quality ruled the world.
Guervo. The Gold standard since 1795.
