experienced playing time coming
back in the starting lineup. We have
lost 8Vfe years of playing time.
“We have lost our entire front
line and I honestly don’t know who
will be starting for us.”
Cecile Rose, Mike Schultz and
Charles Thompson all have com
pleted their eligibility, and return
ing from last year’s starting group
will be Kenneth Williams and Ken
Cioli.
The tallest freshman or transfer
student coming in to the Houston
team this year is 6-7.
“This is the shortest team we’ve
had here at any time since 1965,
said Lewis. “We’ve been a power-
oriented team for as long as I can
remember. We are quicker than we
usually are, but we are not as good a
passing team.
“We will still be a good shooting
team, but we are going to have to
change our style of play.”
And what kind of style will Lewis
use?
“A delay game,” he joked.
One of the players who should
help Houston this year will not even
be available until January. That
would be Leonard Mitchell — a 6-7
intimidator who is currently taking
up place in the defensive line of the
Houston football team.
Lewis is obviously anxious to have
Mitchell rejoin the team. When
asked how long it would take Mitch
ell to rejoin the team and become a
factor, the Cougars coach said:
“About 30 minutes after the final
gun.”
The players who will have to step
forward this year do not have famil
iar names to most SWC fans. Lewis
is expecting help from 6-4 transfer
Marshall Sauls, 6-6 transfer Darnell
Roper, 6-6 transfer Victor Ewing
and freshman Kent Davis.
“But we re not conceding any
thing to anybody,” said Lewis,

“But we have to be realistic and
realize everybody else will be com
petitive. We aren t as strong as we
were last year and other teams will
be. I think we will be a little bit
better come tournament time, but
everybody else can make that
statement.”
To spice up the early portion of
the season Lewis will take his team
to Alaska for a pair of games — one
of them on Christmas Day.
“I’ve never been to Alaska and I
thought it would be a good idea. I
don t guess it will make any differ
ence that we play on Christmas. We
can’t play them in July.”
Lewis is not expecting his team to
reach its potential by Christmas.
But he certainly hopes they do it be
fore July.”
The Cougars currently hold an
0-1 season record, losing to
Nevada-Reno Monday 77-73. Hous
ton will host Texas A&M on Jan. 10.

SAN ANTONIO — The local
C television affiliate has touched
quite a furor among Dallas Cow-
fans by opting to broadcast the
luston Oilers-Pittsburgh Steelers
e next Sunday instead of the
illas-New England game.
KMOL-TV found itself faced with
fact that NBC is televising the
es involving both Texas teams at
same time.
When the station, which ordinar-
carries the Houston games,
se to present the Oilers contest,
vas deluged with telephone calls
became the object of talk show
ipes and newspaper articles.
We re between the rock and the
d place,” said KMOL sportscas-
4 Jerry Desmond. “NBC gave us a
Joice. We opted for the Oilers,
f’ve been the Oilers’ station all
se years. Now that they have a
t of going into the playoffs, we’ve
[tided to go with them.
We could have put them out in
cold. Then all the Oiler fans
uldhave called to complain. It’s a
-win situation.”
Desmond said his station tried to
ange for both games to be shown
San Antonio to no avail.
CBS normally televises Cowboy
l^es on KENS-TV, but once a
ar NBC is awarded a Cowboy
nie and this year the starting
es of the Dallas and Houston
ir >ies conflicted.

DALLAS — Mike Ford, the
dead-eye passer from Southern
Methodist who fueled Mustang
Mania and moved the ball for more
yards than any other player in the
country this season, edged Hous
ton’s Danny Davis to win the first-
team quarterback spot on the UPI
all-Southwest Conference team re
leased Wednesday.
Ford was joined in the first team
backfleld by SWC leading rusher
James Hadnot of Texas Tech, Curtis
Dickey of Texas A&M and Ben
Cowins of Arkansas.
And Ford’s top receiver —
Emanuel Tolbert — was the only
unanimous selection to all
conference, a team voted by sports
writers and broadcasters throughout
the southwest.
The writers and broadcasters
opted for Ford, who helped turn
SMU into a threat every week al
though the Mustangs won only four
games, over Davis, who with a fine
cast of supporting characters
boosted the Cougars to as high as
No. 5 in the nation before a setback
against Tech.
Ford threw for 3,007 yards this
year and his total yardage figure of
2,957 (which took into account quar
terback traps) made him the na
tional champion in that department.
Ford was also named the SWC’s
offensive player of the year while
defensive tackle Jimmy Walker of
Arkansas was tabbed defensive
player of the year. Newcomer of the
year was Ron Reeves, the freshman
quarterback who came in early in
the season to help make the Texas
Tech Red Raiders the surprise team
in the league.
And coach of the year went to Rex
Dockery, whose masterful gathering
of forces at Tech brought the Raid
ers into conference contention dur
ing a year in which they had been
forecast to finish next-to-Iast.
Tolbert and Cowins were the only
two repeaters from the 1977 all
conference team. Other members of
this year’s offensive group included
Olympic sprinter Johnny “Lam”
Jones at wide receiver, Greg
Kolenda of Arkansas and Cody Ri-
sien of Texas A&M at tackles, David
Sledge of Baylor and Jim Yar
borough of Texas at guards and
Chuck Brown of Houston at center.
Barefoot kicker Tony Franklin of
Texas A&M was named place kicker
and Maury Buford of Texas Tech,
among the national leaders, was the
all-conference punter.
On defense there were four
players named who made the 1977
team — Walker at tackle, SMU’s
Putt Choate at linebacker and de
fensive backs Johnnie Johnson of
Texas and Vaughn Lusby of Arkan
sas.
Joining them on the defensive
squad were ends Dwight Jefferson
of Texas and Jacob Green of Texas
A&M, tackle Steve McMichael of
Texas, linebackers Lance Taylor of
Texas and David Hodge of Houston
and defensive backs D.K. Perry and
David Hill, both of SMU.
For the Aggies, Doug Holmes (of
fensive guard) and Carl Grulich (de
fensive back) were voted members
of the second team all-SWC.
