And he may be right. There is certainly no point in arguing with him at the moment at least, because he has all the statistics on his side — not to mention the helmet of Hosea Taylor. The fourth-ranked Cougars have led at the half in only two of their seven games this season, but have come back to win every one — the most recent of them being the pul sating 13-10 decision over pre viously unwhipped and fifth-ranked Arkansas Bazorbacks. To beat Arkansas the Cougars had to drive 61 yards into the wind to set up Ken Hatfield’s 19-yard field goal. And then to preserve the win, Houston had to block a 41-yard, downwind field-goal attempt on the game’s final play by Ish Ordonez, who had kicked an NCAA record 16 straight. Taylor, Houston’s 6-5 defensive tackle, leaped so high that the ball sailed below his hands and went be tween his outstretched arms. But the ball hit the last thing that could have kept it from going through the uprights — Taylor’s helmet — and the Cougars had picked up another routine victory. That went along with comeback decisions over UCLA, Florida, Baylor and Texas A&M. Against the Aggies, Houston had to drive the length of the field in less than a minute and score in the final 15 sec onds for the win. “We’ll go into the eighth game undefeated, that’s all I know,” said Houston coach Bill Yeoman. “We | could still lose four.” Houston is 4-0 in SWC play — alone at the top — with Baylor, Ar kansas and Texas all having just one loss. Houston’s toughest remaining test will come against Texas, in the Astrodome, Saturday after next. Baylor and Texas stayed in the championship picture last Saturday and Texas A&M finally won its first conference game of the year. Baylor’s offense, which helped ring up 55 points against Army the week before, could not score a touchown last Saturday against TCU. It took a 95-yard interception return by Howard Fields to spark the Bears to a 16-3 win over the Horned Frogs, who had been trying to win their third straight game. Texas, meanwhile, drubbed injury-riddled SMU, 30-6, having apparently been fired-up by state ments by SMU coach Bon Meyer, who said he was certain his team was going to win. Meyer even set his team’s proposed winning score — 10-7. “I don’t know if our team needed that kind of extra incentivie," said Texas coach Fred Akers. “And Tm not sure all of them had heard about it. But it is the kind of quote you will remember when you have won.” And when Meyer was asked how long it would take for SMU to be able to compete with Texas, he said somewhat testily — “A year. Just give us our bodies and we ll play with them next year.” 333 University 84c The only movie in town Double-Feature Every Week 10 a.m.-2 a.m. Sun.-Thurs. 10 a.m -3 ** m.
