New season for Hogs
By MARK PATTERSON
Battalion Staff
It is a new season for the Arkansas
Razorbacks.
We had high hopes when we
started this season and we feel short
of what we wanted,” Arkansas quar
terback Ron Calcagni said after
Saturday’s football game. “But after
we lost those two games (to Texas
and to Houston) we picked new
goals and set our hopes on other
things besides a Southwest Confer
ence championship. And now we’re
right on schedule for meeting those
new goals.”
The new Arkansas schedule called
for disposing of Texas A&M last
Saturday and they did so with ease,
taking a 26-7 victory in Little Rock’s
War Memorial Stadium. The con
test was witnessed by 54,118 fans
and a regional television audience.
What the viewers saw was an Arkan
sas team play up to the potential
that most people thought it would at
the beginning of the 1978 season.
T have great respect for this
team,” their coach, Lou Holtz, said
after the game. “I don’t think this
team realizes the way they’ve
brought themselves back. And they
brought themselves this far, I
didn t. They re going to keep going
on from here.”
The Razorbacks are going to go on
to Tempe, Ariz., where they will
meet UCLA in this year’s Fiesta
Bowl on Christmas Day. After Ar-
ka nsas' victory Saturday, Fiesta
Bowl officials extended the invita
tion to the Razorbacks and from the
response one would have thought
the Hogs had just been named this
year’s national champion.
After our loses we weren’t sure
how this team would react,” run
ning back Ben Cowins said amid the
shouts of his fellow teammates. “Af
ter today we proved we II continue
to do good things.
We ve had a pretty successful
season no matter how you look at it.
We have two games left and have a
chance to go 10-2. In the last three
games (Rice, Baylor and Texas
A&M) we’ve accomplished a lot.
We’re putting it together again.”
When asked about his reaction
about going to the Fiesta Bowl in
stead of the Cotton Bowl, Cowins
had good things to say about the
Tempe trip.
At the first of the year I said I
wanted to play in the Fiesta Bowl,”
Cowins said. “I didn’t want to go to
the Cotton Bowl this year. I’ve been
to the Cotton Bowl (after the 1975
season), I wanted to go someplace
new. ”
In Cowins the Razorbacks take
the school’s all-time leading rusher
into the post-season bowl. Saturday
Cowins broke Dickey Morton’s rec
ord of 3,317 yards. In his four years
at Arkansas Cowins has rolled up
3,361 yards and now ranks second in
SWC history behind Earl
Campbell s 4,443 yard record.
“Breaking Morton’s record is a
very important accomplishment for
me, Cowins said. “After I leave Ar
kansas I 11 take a lot of memories
with me but the rushing record is
something I can cherish a long
time. ”
Cowins and the Hogs will re
member the 1978 Texas A&M game
for a long time as well. They will
remember how they shutdown the
potent Aggie ground attack and con
tained Curtis Dickey and Mike
Mosley all afternoon, allowing 58
yards rushing between the two.
“We did the things we had to do
to beat the Aggies in the game,”
Holtz said afterwards. “Our main
objective was to make Mosley play
within a 20 yard area and not give
him the whole field to work with.
We knew if we kept him contained
we c( L uld do g° od things on de
fense.”
Holtz let his defense know how
important stopping Mosley was to
the Hogs. The defense responded,
holding the Aggie quarterback to a
minus 46 yards rushing in the con
test.
With his speed we knew we
couldn t give him the field to work
with, defensive tackle Dan
Hampton said. “We knew that if we
kept him contained and turned him
inside he wouldn’t be effective.
“His outside runs are the thing
that could have hurt us. Dickey
alone wasn’t going to beat us but the
two of them could have. We knew
that if we made them run up the
middle we had the game won. No
one can beat us between the tackles.
“This was the best defensive
game we ve played this year.- The
objest on defense is to get turn
overs, sacks, swarm around the ball
and gang tackle. We went out and
did all four.”
Quarterback Calcagni seemed to
philosophize the Razorback s season
when he was asked to think back on
the year and reflect on all that has
happened to the team.
“It’s too bad we can’t have those
two games back,” Calcagni said
about the early setbacks. “But now,
even with the two losses, we have a
chance to play one of the top teams
in the country and prove we re bet
ter than 13th in the nation (Arkan
sas’ ranking in last week’s polls).
We ll prove that we deserve to be in
the top five.
“This team could have folded
after the Houston game like we did
after we tied Baylor in 1976 (losing
their last four games). But we
showed the character we have by
regrouping and coming on. The
seniors are happy, we re going out
winners.
“It takes more courage to get up
after you’ve been knocked down and
continue to walk forward. We got
up, and now we re walking again.’’

Cowboys defeat Saints
United Press International
IRVING — The Dallas Cowboys
did not look ahead Sunday. Instead
they did the things they had not
been doing all year.
The Cowboys did not commit a
turnover, they capitalized on enemy
mistakes, they returned a kickoff
past midfield for the first time this
season and as a result, ran off the
New Orleans Saints 27-7.
Combined with Washington’s
10-point loss at home to the St.
Louis Cardinals, Dallas’ win moved
the Cowboys into a share of first-
place in the NFC East.
And on Thanksgiving afternoon
the Cowboys and Redskins will
renew one of the NFL’s bitterest
rivalries in a game that means ev
erything for both clubs.
Not only will the winner of that
one take the division lead but will
grab the tie-break advantage in the
league’s complicated method of
breaking season-ending deadlocks.
Sunday’s game turned on the
opening kickoff of the second half,
which Butch Johnson returned 56
yards to set up Dallas third short
touchdown drive of the day.
“That’s the first time we’ve had
something like that happen in a long
time, said Dallas coach Tom
Landry. "It fired our team up. I
think right now we are playing
tough football-
“We reached a point as a team
when we knew that if we were going
to do any good we were going to
have to play better than before. And
we are playing better. ”
WHILE THEY
LAST
The game between Washington
and Dallas Thursday has been a
sell-out for more than two months
and will be the most critical game of
the year for both teams.
If Washington wins, the Redskins
would own a tie-break edge over
Dallas because they would have
won both meetings between the two
teams this year.
But if Dallas wins, the Cowboys
would have the tie-break advantage
because it would be assured a better
record in games between division
opponents.

It’s the game of the week
In a fast moving game, the volleyball playoffs between Mens ADi'
teams Hotard II and Big “P from Puryear last week showed some
playing and agile moves.
Both teams appeared to play “bumping” games, utilizing the butj
move the ball more than any other play. Each team possessed an exon
spiker, who seemed to take turns, Hotard s spiker dominating the first
of the match and Puryear s dominating the second. There were
collisions during the match between players diving for the ball
some plays the floor saw as much action as the net as players fell
on knees or other anatomical parts to save the point for their side
Puryear won the first game 15-11. I lotard came back for a 15-8 victo
the second game. The third game was fast and furious, punctual
several time outs, but it ended 16-14 for Puryear.
Hotard’s team consisted of Jeff Balliew, Laro Clark, Paul Edwards.
Papila, Bill Pruitt, Mark Weaver, and Corbin Rinehart.
Players for Puryear included Kevin Moake, Andy Newman, Lee
Mike Surman, Richard Frey, Brian Sullivan, Lane Lubaugh, arid
Stenrenback.
