The game that will decide
whether the Southwest Conference
race is over — or just beginning —
comes off Saturday night in the
Astrodome.
The Texas Longhorns represent
the last major hurdle between the
Houston Cougars and a trip to the
Cotton Bowl.
And those two teams will gang up
on each other under the dome in
what could be one of the fiercest de
fensive struggles of the year.
“It’ll take some freak things to
break this one loose from the de
fenses,” said Houston coach Bill
Yeoman.
“Their defense is similar to ours,”
added Texas coach Fred Akers.
“They are strong and both have ex
cellent people up front and in the
secondary. They are capable of mak
ing the big, big plays.”
Houston is unbeaten and ranked
fourth in the nation. The Cougars are
5-0 in Southwest Conference play
and if they beat Texas they would
have to lose both of their final games
against Texas Tech and Rice to be
denied their third Cotton Bowl trip
in four years.
A win by Texas, however, would
throw the league race into a possible
four-way fight with the ultimate re
sults probably being delayed until
the final games are played Dec. 2.
The eighth-ranked Longhorns,
ninth-rated Razorbacks and 16th-
ranked Bears are all a game behind
Houston in the loss column.
Arkansas and Baylor have their
own critical meeting Saturday after
noon in Fayetteville. Baylor (6-2) is
enjoying one of its best seasons in
history and a win over the Hogs
would all but wrap up a bowl bid of
some sort for the Bears.
A win for Arkansas and a decision
by Texas over Houston, however,
would leave the Razorbacks in the
best position for a possible Cotton
Bowl trip.
Also on the SWC schedule Satur
day will be a visit to Texas Tech by
TCU and Southern Methodist —

trying to break a five-game losing
streak — will play the league’s last
intersectional game of the season at
Wichita.
University of Texas officials led
the fight among SWC members to
admit Houston to the league. But it
has not taken long for those two
schools to build up a heated rivalry.
Earlier this week Yeoman was
asked if he thought Texas would
rather beat Houston than any other
club in the league.
“That’s what they tell me,” Yeo
man said. “But I’ve never gotten in
volved with these pre-conceived
rivalries. I guess I learned to look at
the situation at hand when we were
an independent and there was very
little hoopla surrounding the games.
“We concentrated on what it took
to win.”
Yeoman, however, said one thing
had changed since the Cougars were
admitted to the Southwest Confer
ence.
“My approach to the game since
we got in the conference is more
conservative,” he said. “The confer-

REDKEN
By FRED McMANE
United Press International
The strangest team in college foot
ball this season would have to be the
University of Georgia.
The Bulldogs, a pre-season choice
to battle Alabama for the Southeast
ern Conference title, have lived up
to that billing by posting a 4-0 record
against league competition.
Outside the league, however, it’s
been another matter. The Bulldogs
are 0-4 against non-league foes, in
cluding three losses to Atlantic Coast
Conference teams.
What has to irk the sponsors of the
Sugar Bowl is that they might be
saddled with the Bulldogs on New
Year’s Day. If Georgia can win its last
two SEC games — against Florida
and Auburn — it would represent
the SEC in the Sugar Bowl regard
less of what Alabama does since the
Crimson Tide went last year.
It doesn’t make the Sugar Bowl
very attractive to a national televi
sion audience to have a team with
four losses in it, so you can bet your
shoulder pads the Sugar Bowl com
mittee will be pulling hard against
Georgia the next two weeks.
Florida could be the team that
turns the Bulldogs’ Sugar dreams
sour. True, the Gators haven’t won a
game this season, but they’ve played
a much tougher schedule than Geor
gia and they certainly didn’t embar-
ass themselves against the likes of
Houston, LSU and Auburn.
Besides, this week’s game is in the
Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla., and
the home crowd should give the
Gators that little extra they need to
beat the Bulldogs. We like Florida,
17-14.
