Cougars, conference wait on bowls
United Press International
HOUSTON — You can take the
man out of the bowl game, but appa
rently you cannot take the bowl
game out of the man.
Sonny Yates is the University of
Houston’s rookie associate athletic
director, but the excitement he ex
perienced as Sun Bowl executive di
rector is still in his Cougar-red blood
— especially this week.
“We want to stay on top of the
situation, know what our options
are,’ he said as he waved his arm at
an office wall dotted with the names
of 15 bowls.
Team names that he speculated
might go to those bowls were taped
under about half the bowls on the
wall.
“There are changes every five mi
nutes,” he said.
Saturday is the first day the bowl
committee can extend invitations to
teams, so this week Yates is cheer
leading for the highly-ranked
Cougars, 8-1, instead of the Sun
Bowl.
He said it was untrue that bowl
committees doubt Houston’s ability
to have a large following of alumni
and students.
“We want to let it be known that
wherever Houston goes that we
want our allotment of seats. We will
sell everything we are given,” Yates
said.
He said when the Cougars went to
the 1977 and 1979 Cotton Bowls, the
Houston athletic department sold
their allotments of one-sixth of the
available tickets plus about 2,000
more in 1977 and 1,500 more in
1979.
That bowl was in Dallas, 230 miles
north of Houston. And the Cougars
have not been out of state to a bowl
since 1962.
Houston’s open date Saturday is a
disadvantage as far as attracting in
vitations, Yates said. Houston
finishes its regular season playing
TCU and Rice.
Houston will be the host team in
the Cotton Bowl if the Cougars win
their final two games and Texas, 7-1,
losses to eitherTCU, Baylor or Texas
A&M.
If Arkansas, 8-1, beats A&M while
Texas beats TCU Saturday, those
two teams and Houston could still
host the Cotton Bowl and confuse
bowl committees about which
Southwest Conference teams could
go elsewhere.
“The Southwest Conference sche
dule stretches longer than most con
ferences. That is a problem,” Yates
said. “The championship race is still
a scramble. That’s another
problem.”
He mentioned that a solution for
the four possible SWC bowl teams
— including 5-3 Baylor — would be
an agreement between several
bowls. He said the Cotton, Sun and
Liberty bowls did it in 1975.
Another solution would because
“some of the invitations may be held
up a week,” Yates said.
His experience with bowl commit
tees, however, told him that once
the Orange Bowl lines up its teams
“everyone else falls into place like
dominoes. It’s hard for them to
wait. ”
He said the Sugar Bowl would not
have a hard time finding an oppo
nent for Georgia, which has a 5-4
record and which gets the host spot if
it wins at Auburn Saturday.
“Everybody wants to go to the
Sugar Bowl,” he said.

Horns move up, Coogs drop
United Press International
NEW YORK — Alabama and
Nebraska remained the nation’s top
two college football teams and Ohio
State eased up two notches to third
Monday in UPI’s 10th weekly Board
of Coaches ratings.
Southern California, after a 24-17
victory over Washington that all but
secured a Rose Bowl berth for the
Trojans, dropped one rung into
fourth.
The powerful Buckeyes, under
the guidance of Earle Bruce, scored
a 34-7 victory Saturday over Iowa,
forcing the Hawkeyes into 10 tur
novers, and moved up to third. A
win or a tie against once-beaten
Michigan next week would give
Ohio State a Big Ten title and a trip
Top 20
to the Rose Bowl.
“I would think our young men are
willing and able to play four quarters
of football versus the University of
Michigan,” said Bruce. “I guess
we re going to have to do that to be
able to win.”
Two new teams — Tennessee and
Indiana — became members of the
nation’s Top 20 for the first time this
season. The No. 18 Vols whipped the
Fighting Irish of Notre Dame 40-18
and the 19th-ranked Hoosiers regis
tered a solid 45-14 triumph over Illi
nois.
The top-ranked Crimson Tide
managed to maintain their status as
the best team in the nation by strug
gling to a 3-0 victory over deter
mined Louisiana State. The second-
ranked Cornhuskers, who have
turned in listless performances in
each of the past two weeks, got by
Kansas State 21-12 to maintain their
No. 2 ranking.
Florida State, which registered a
27-7 victory over South Carolina,
moved up one spot into fifth and
Texas advanced two places into the
sixth position with a 21-13 decision
over Houston. Oklahoma remained
seventh with a 38-0 victory over
Kansas and Houston dropped four
places into the eighth slot.
Arkansas kept its No. 9 rating with
a 29-20 verdict over Baylor and un
beaten Brigham Young advanced
one spot to No. 10 with a 31-17
triumph over Long Beach State.
Rounding out the Top 20, in
order, were Pittsburgh, Purdue,
Michigan, Clemson, Washington,
Temple, Wake Forest, Tennessee,
Indiana and Baylor.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Coach
Lou Holtz, still talking about Arkan
sas’ comeback win over Baylor, ran
his Razorbacks through a light scrim
mage Monday with several key play
ers nursing injuries.
Starting defensive backs Trent
Bryant and Hugh Jernigan were
withheld from the workout. Jernigan
has a shoulder injury and Bryant a
bruised thigh.
Others who missed the practice
were running back Roland Sales with
a pulled groin, running back Gary
Anderson with a muscle spasm in his
neck, defensive lineman Alfred
Mohammed with a calcium deposit
in his right arm and Mike Massey
with a slight knee injury.
All of the injured should return to
practice later in the week and play
against Texas A&M in College Sta
tion on Saturday.
Despite the horde of small in
juries, Holtz called the workout
good. But his mind obviously still
was on Arkansas’ 29-20 comeback
win over the Bears.

ran the ball three times, passed 16 times and punted six.
China Spring used nine running hacks in the game — all they

“All of our players played well in
the final quarter, which was ob
vious,” Holtz said. “Baylor looks at
the film and says ‘How could we lose
that game?’ and I look at the first half
and say, ‘How could we play that
way’?
United Press International
KILGORE, Texas — Tyler Junior
College has won the host spot in the
Juco Bowl to be played Dec. 1 in
Garland.
