And Texas A&M's Tom Wilson couldn’t be happier about the fore cast. “I sure am glad we had the game changed (from 7:30 p.m.to 11:50 a m. for television),” Wilson said. “It sure will be a lot warmer. It would have been down into the 30s at night." But no matter what the tempera ture is in the hills of Arkansas, the fans of the Razorbacks turnout in droves to call their Hogs.

It’s different to play in a game up there but we’ve never been in timidated before. We won’t be Sat- ied Davis ar urday. We don’t care how much noise therw is. We just want to be able to hear our audibles and snap The Arkansas Razorbacks are at the end of a disappointing season for the team. Coming off an Orange Bowl victory over Oklahoma last sea son the Hogs were picked by most to sweep through the Southwest Con ference and contend for the national championship. Unexpectedly, the Hogs have dropped two games thus far this sea son, to the Texas Longhorns and the Houston Cougars. Overall with a 6-2 record, they are 3-2 in the confer ence and very disappointed. “In pre-season I had to favor Ar kansas to win the conference with the proven offense and proven de fense they had coming back this sea son,” Wilson said. “Plus they were coming off the big win over Okla homa. On paper they looked like the team to beat. “At the beginning of the year Ar kansas looked like a better team than Texas A&M. But a lot of things have happened since the first games in September. “Going into this year we had a very young defense that was untested. ★★★*** DOING DRY? do it for you rannies romat coach of the United Press International LAWRENCE, Kan. — Bud Moore was fired as head football University of Kansas ^Thursday, just two days before the arch-rival tayhawks were to meet Kansas State in the 1978 season finale. Moore, who was Texas A&M’s of fensive coordinator under Gene Stal lings from 1965-71, had two years remaining on a five-year contract and Kansas Athletic Director Bob Mar cum said negotiations on a settle ment with the deposed coach would in soon. iLEGANl IN linger! 37 TEXAS Kansas was barely competitive on Missouri. the gridiron this season except for the two games the Jayhawks were given no prayer at all — against UCLA and Oklahoma. Kansas top pled then eighth-ranked UCLA, 28-24, and lost to then top-ranked Oklahoma, 17-16, when a Jayhawk two-point conversion try failed with 16 seconds remaining. The rest of the season has been a succession of mismatches including a 37-10 loss to Texas A&M, a 31-2 loss to Washington, a 38-6 loss to Miami of Florida, a 63-21 loss to Nebraska and, last weekend, a 48-0 embar rassment at the hands of arch-rival Domingue;: Arciniega'l 1 HERE ARE THE FAC' — r When you’re discussing something as important as your future, it’s urgent that you get the straight facts . . .and that you understand them. Air Force ROTC can be an important part of your future. We would like to outline some of the facts and invite you to look into gathering more. It’s a fact: the Air Force needs highly-qualified, dedi cated officers. . . men and women. It’s a fact: we need people in all kinds of educational disciplines. It’s a fact: we’re prepared to offer financial help to those who can qualify for an Air Force ROTC scholarship. Get together with an AFROTC representative and discuss the program. Well give you all the facts. It could be one of the most important talks you’ve ever had with anyone about your educational plans. Gateway to a great way of life. But this team has improved with every game its played. And now with our more versitile offense we re to the point that on paper we re as good as Arkansas is. “When two teams of equal ability step onto the football field, a break here or a mental breakdown there could mean the difference in a game. You never know what’s going to hap pen and I guess that’s why we play the game.” Saturday’s game may also decide which team goes on to a bowl game Moore fired at KU Batt Fix Week 11 GAME Texas A&M-Arkansas SMU-Texas Tech . . .

Bowl representatives from the Fiesta, Sun, Hall of Fame, Holiday and the Bluebonnet Bowls will be in attendance Saturday looking for a participant. Wilson and The Aggies realize the significance of this game regarding their bowl aspirations. “This team needs to go to a bowl game after the adversity we went through in mid-season,” Wilson said. “But it all depends on our per formance against Arkansas Saturday. “We (the team) haven’t talked about playing in a specific bowl, we just want to get to play in a bowl. A bowl is a reward for accom plishments made in a season. And for that reason we want to go. “But first, before we decide on any bowl, we need to play Arkansas.” This game might carry more signif icance than deciding on who will go on to post-season play. Some people think this game is the first serious test Wilson faces as a head coach. It is his third game as head man, yet he feels no added pressure going into Saturday’s contest. “This game is no more important to me than any other game we’ve played while I’ve been at A&M,” Wilson said. “This team won’t be playing under any pressure in that sense. “But just lining up against Arkan sas is pressure enough for a team. I imagine the adrenaline will be flow ing and the blood will be pumping a little harder Saturday afternoon.” It will be in the stands. The weather will see to that.
