Sims wins Heisman
f/rffc
Troph
United Press International
NORMAN, Okla. — Heisman
Trophy winner Billy Sims shared
credit for his achievement Tuesday
with his roommate and “the man up
stairs. ”
Sims, the third Oklahoma player
and sixth junior to win college foot
ball’s top prize, appeared relaxed
and confident before television
cameras and reporters at a news con
ference minutes after his selection
was announced.
He was wearing jeans, a white OU
t-shirt, a red cap with a large B on it,
an orange windbreaker and a big
smile. He said the B on his cap origi
nally was for the Boston Red Sox, but
it now stood for Billy.
“I never thought I was going to
win,” Sims said. “I thought it was
pretty close, but I thought Rick
Leach would win it.”
Leach, the Michigan quarterback,
finished third in the voting of more
than 900 sports writers and
sportscasters behind Sims and Penn
State quarterback Chuck Fusina.
Southern California running hack
Charles White, also a junior, was
fourth.
Sims said this season he had hoped
to win the Heisman and had hoped
Oklahoma would win the national
championship. But he said obtaining
a degree was more important than
either goal.
In response to a question, Sims
said his roommate, Gotland Award
winner Greg Roberts, deserved a
large share of the trophy.
“He can have it all if he wants it,
Sims quipped. “I give a lot of credit
to our offensive line.”
Sims, asked if there was anyone he
wanted to thank, replied, “The man
upstairs. He knows best.
However, Sims said he didn’t "say
his prayers’ the night before the vot
ing ended.
“Me and the man upstairs, we ve
got a good understanding, ” he said.
Sims said thoughts of the ap
proaching selection did not cost him
any sleep.
"I slept like a baby,” he said.
He said his first thought, upon
learning he was the winner, was,
“I’m No. 1.”
Sims said he does not believe he
changed as a person during the foot
ball season that led to his selection,
and does not expect to.
“But I know Hooks won’t be the
same, he said.
Hooks is Sims’ hometown, in
northeast Texas near the Oklahoma
border.
Sims said he plans to go home to
Hooks this weekend to attend a Billy
Sims Day celebration Saturday.
"They were going to have it any
way,” he said.
Sims was the third Oklahoma
player to win the Heisman. The
others were Billy Vessels in 1952 and

SWC enters fin^
football weekem
United Press International
The strange 1978 Southwest Con
ference football season has only
three games left and it would appear
the Houston Cougars are going to
win their first undisputed league
championship and go to the Cotton
Bowl for the second time in three
years.
But
it hasn’t happened yet. And 1
until it does, it cannot he taken for
granted.
If nothing else, this
demonstrated again and
the odd is the normal.
So before the final
eason has
tgain that
games are
played, a review of some of the sea
son’s happenings might be in order.
— Baylor s Bears, expecting their
best team in years, lose their first five
games hy a total of 22 points, leading
in a 11 of the ;m.
—Arkansas, a popular pre-season
pick to win it all, struggles against
Oklahoma State and Tulsa before los
ing two in a row.
—Houston is pegged by more
than one SWC coach to win the title,
but the Cougars lose on opening
night to Memphis State, 17-3.
—SMU was thought to be im
proved, but no one gave the Mus
tangs a chance against either Penn
State or Ohio State. The Mustangs
almost heat the Nittany Lions and
tied the Buckeyes.
—Texas Tech, thought to he in
turmoil following the resignation of
Steve Sloan, scares USC on the
opening weekend and after losing
three of four the Bed Raiders be
come the terror of the league behind
SWC leading rusher James Hadnot.
— Arkansas officials and Coach
Lou Holtz carry on a running verbal
battle with the SWC heirarchy and
Holtz goes so far as to ban game offi
cials from their normal dressing facil
ity in Fayetteville before a game with
Rice.
—And in College Station, after
losing two straight games, Emory
Bellard, father of the wishbone,
quits as coach and says he did so
because he felt he was on the verge of
being fired.
Finally, however, things settled
down, Houston ran(
wins, moved to No. I
rankings and seemedseltaj

Holtz and Dick
to switch jobs?
United Press International
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkan
sas coach Lou Holtz says he is not
concerned about the coaching situa
tion at Florida because Saturday’s
game against Texas Tech is taking up
enough of his time.
“We’ve got a big game up here,”
Holtz said Monday. “If we win, we
can have the second highest number
of wins in two years in the school’s
history. I’m at Arkansas, re
member?”
Rumors have been circulating for
weeks that Holtz would replace
Doug Dickey as head coach at
Florida and Holtz has not denied
flatly the possibility he would go.
Orville Henry, sports editor of the
Arkansas Gazette, said in his column
today that his “feeling for a long time
has been that Holtz is 1* Brooks
