Delrick Brown, the sage
philosopher from the bayous who
finds time on weekends to quarter
back the Houston Cougars, threw
one out there for the history books
last Saturday.
“I’m beginning to think we can’t
lose,” said Brown.
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.”

Dickey flies by the Owls
Texas A&M tailback Curtis Dickey became the second leading
all-time rusher in the Southwest Conference against the Rice
is Saturday. Dickey entered the game needing only 78
ards to pass Arkansas’s Ben Cowins and ended up with 127
yards on 21 carries. Dickey had 106 yards in the first half alone
and didn’t play most of the second half.
