SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Senior
center Bruce Flowers scored 17
points and third-ranked Notre
Dame shut out Rice 14-0 to open
the second half and run away with a
105-61 victory Monday night.
The Fighting Irish led by five to
seven points through most of the
first half, but came alive when, with
4:48 to play, Orlando Woolridge
scored on a dunk, was called for
charging and drew a technical foul
for hanging on the rim. The Irish
opened up a 10-point lead with his
basket and never again were
threatened, leading 50-36 at inter
mission.
Junior guard Rich Branning
added 14 points and sophomore
forward Kelly Tripucka 13 for the
Irish, who upped their record to
2-0.
Senior forward Elbert Darden led
the Owls and took game scoring
honors with 18 points. Rice dropped
to 1-2.
DENTON — Pat Nunley made
two free throws midway through the
overtime period Monday night and
Baylor limited North Texas to just
two points during the extra period
to down the Eagles 109-102.
The overtime was anticlimactic to
a thrilling regulation 40 minutes,
which ended at 100-100. North
Texas’ Jon Mannning, who scored a
career high 41 points, hit a bucket
with 14 seconds left to put the game
into overtime.
Baylor s Vinnie Johnson missed
a long range shot with one second
left that would have given the Bears
a win in regulation play. Johnson,
hovyever, scored 22 points in the first
half and finished with 28.
Baylor led by as many as 13 points
early in the second half, but the
Eagles scored 11 in a row and even
tually went ahead by as many as five
points.
In addition to Manning, who
scored a coliseum record 26 points
in the second half, the Eagles’
Waymond Lister, also scored a
career high 27 points.
Wendell Mays added 23 for
Baylor, which evened its season
record at 2-2. North Texas is 1-3 for
the year.
HOUSTON — Victor Ewing
scored 20 points to lead eight Hous
ton players in double figures and
send the Cougars to an easy 120-60
victory over St. Mary’s.
The Cougars scored the game’s
first six points and never allowed St.
Mary’s to come close, rolling to a
61-30 halftime lead.
Ken Williams had 19 points for
the Cougars and George Walker
added 18. Cedric Fears provided 14
while Ken Ciolli, Or Goren and
Byron Gibson had 10 each.
Houston, now 1-2, shot 62.1 per
cent from the field while the
Rattlers, 3-2, hit only 41.7 percent.

United Fre*s Internationa]
DALLAS — With football
coach Ron Meyer interviewing
for a job at the University of
Florida Monday, Southern
Methodist Athletic Director
Russ Potts was understandably
nervous.
Potts’ concern was eased
Monday when Florida hired
Charles Pell of CJemson.
Before Pell was announced as
the Florida coach, however,
SMU athletic director Russ Potts
admitted his concern about los
ing Meyer to another school. {
“Sure, I’m concerned,” said
Potts. ‘‘But we have to be up
front about these things. Ron has
communicated with me right
down the line on this thing.
“It’s something that you are
going to have to put up with
when you have got a good, young
football coach,” Potts said “I'd
rather have a person people were
interested in than a person that
nobody is calling. Florida is an
excellent job. But SMU is an ex
cellent job, too.
“Even if he gets a job offer it
doesn't mean he will leave. But it
is making an old man out of me In
a hurry. 1
Oilers still
United Press International
HOUSTON — Houston Oilers
Coach Bum Phillips called the
Oilers-Pittsburgh game the best de
fensive matches he’s seen in his
career. His team’s injury report
Monday confirmed it also was one of
the most brutal.
The status of Earl Campbell’s ribs
still was unknown after a second set
of X-rays was taken Monday. A
more definitive report on the rookie
running back and several other in
jured Oilers was expected today or
Wednesday.
Campbell, the NFL’s leading
rusher with 1,306 yards, took a
clean helmet shot to his lower right
ribs late in the first quarter after
gaining 41 yards on seven carries.
During the game, there were con
flicting reports whether Campbell
could return.
Other Oilers sustaining possibly
debilitating injuries were wide re
ceiver Mike Renfro (twisted knee),
tight end Mike Barber (dislocated
shoulder), linebacker Robert Brazile
(groin muscle pull) and cornerback
Willie Alexander (lost tooth and
possible broken jaw).
"I want to go on record as saying
Dan Pastorini (the Oilers’ quarter
back) has got to be the toughest man
alive. He hurt that thing (two
cracked ribs) not when we called
time out in the third quarter, but in
the first half sometime. He was
hurting at halftime,” Phillips said.
Pastorini finished the game but
was hospitalized after the game and
also spent Monday night in the hos
pital.
Houston plays at New Orleans
Sunday and against San Diego in
two weeks. Phillips refused to
speculate whether Pastorini,
Campbell or the other injured Oil
ers would be able to play the Saints,

but the coach did not rule any of
them out of that game.
The coach praised his players' ef
fort in the 13-3 loss to the Steelers
— a game he described as the "best
defensive game I’ve seen in 31 years
of coaching.
I hey played as well as they were
capable ol playing. And I know
without a doubt that they played as
hard as any football team I've ever
seen. I ve never seen a team commit
more to a hallgame than we did,” he
said.
The loss left Houston
record and still leading the
an AFC wild card playoffh^

Allen s son, recruits aid SMU
United Press International
This is the third in a series of arti
cles profiling Texas A<L~M’s 1979
Southwest Conference basketball
opponents.
DALLAS — It obviously must be
proven on the basketball floor, but
there are those who think that
Sonny Allen may have had the best
overall recruiting year of any
Southwest Conference basketball
coach.
And to help make it that way all
he had to do wfts go into the living
room and have his son put his name
on a scholarship.

Allen came to SMU four seasons
ago with a fast-breaking style that
drew' the fans and won 16 games.
But since then the SMU coach has
not had that imieli luck recruiting.
Ibis year, however, he lured
junior college transfer Brad Bran
son, a 6-10 powerhouse from
Florida, 6-6 freshman Larry Easlev
from Charleston, W.Va., and a
youngster who just happens to be
his son — Billy Allen.
The younger Allen was felt by
some recruiters to be one of the best
shooting guards to come out of high
school last year. But few teams re
cruited the youngster because they
knew he was wrapped up by bis
father.
I m pleased with the people we
have recruited,” said Allen. "But we
need some help. We were 10-18 last
year and we have two returnees
from our starting team and they av
eraged less than 20 points between
them. ’
Allens son has drawn most of the
attention. "Billy played well in our
scrimmage game (against the Fin
nish national team). You want your
point guard to generate offense and
he scored 21 points and had seven
assists. ’’
With his son to run the fast break
and Branson to help muscle in on
the boards and jumping jack center
Reggie Franklin in the middle,
Allen thinks his attack will be more
successful than it has been in recent

"We will have the same
offense, but we hope it w®
effective, said Allen. Wen
some players who can crew
problems for the opponents.
\cai we were really just a perin
shooting team and we did no
problems for the other team
But if you penetrate am
fouls and go for the haslet!
create problems. And 'vhenya
that the other team is less cool
on offense. \nd 1 think weca
better defensively because*
quicker.

a brutal schedule. Ihisyei
should be a little easier.
"I think a few years agoS
teams did not have that much
deuce in themselves and didnd
to get good teams to come hen
play . Meyer said. "Thereares
teams like Notre Dame and It |
that won t schedule you on|

others will. " LiT SC
The idea, of course, is that* I* time
