and Texas A&M-ex Tony

pal in NFL history — all in the
of36 seconds Monday night —
1 the Philadelphia Eagles to a
upset of the Dallas Cowboys,
ludingttifpiladelphia’s victory broke a
Dallas winning streak
the Eagles and left the Cow-
8-3, with a mere one-game
the NFC East over the Eagles
e Washington Redskins.
;les quarterback Ron Jaworski,
uffered a sprained wrist late in
rst half, hit 6-foot-8 flanker
d Carmichael with a 32-yard
down pass in the first quarter
etumed to throw a 13-yard
g pass to Carmichael in the
period.

Imost all night, a Dallas rally

the division race.
The game was tied 7-7 when, with
1:35 to play in the half, Jaworski fell
under defensive end Harvey Martin.
Jaworski, in obvious pain, was
helped off the field and went to the
locker room for X-rays on his wrist.
In came Walton, a seldom-used
quarterback from Elizabeth City
State in New Jersey, who promptly
took advantage of a fumbled punt
and threw a 29-yard touchdown pass
to Charles Smith that gave the
Eagles the lead.
On the first play following the
kickoff, Dallas quarterback Danny
White, briefly filling in a for a slight
ly injured Roger Staubach, was in
tercepted by Philadelphia’s Randy
Logan.
Philadelphia went nowhere in
three plays but Franklin — holder of
19 NCAA kicking records, came in to
try a 59-yard field goal. The ball
rocketed off Franklin’s foot and just
carried over the crossbar.
The kick was second only to the
63-yarder by Tom Dempsey in 1970
while with the New Orleans Saints.
Dallas’ only scores came on
Staubach-to-Tony Hill touchdown
passes, the first of them being of 48
yards on the third play of the game
and the second being 75-yards in the
fourth quarter after the issue had
been decided.
The Eagles squelched the Cow
boys through most of the final three
quarters, a symbol of Dallas’ frustra
tion coming midway through the
fourth period when Staubach was
thrown for a long loss and the Cow
boys wound up having 32 yards to go
for a first down.
The Eagles’ first touchdown drive
of 59 yards was kept alive by two
Dallas penalties. One of them came
after Philadelphia had punted the
ball away and the second one came
on a missed field goal attempt by
Franklin from 53 yards.
Montgomery picked up 127 yards
to run his season total to 1,078, be
coming the fourth ball carrier to
move over the 1,000-yard mark in
the NFL this season.
Dallas, which rallied the previous
week to defeat the New York Giants
16-14 on Rafael Septien’s 22-yard
field goal with three seconds lefts,
pulled within three points with 1:19
to play on a 5-yard pass from
Staubach to Billy Joe DuPree.
The ensuing onside kick attempt,
however, failed to go the necessary
10 yards and the Eagles began the
drive that led to Montgomery’s clin
ching touchdown.
SWC has impressive record
United Press International
DALLAS — The victory by
Southern Methodist over Wichi
ta State last Saturday boosted the
Southwest Conference intersec
tional record this season to 18-8-1
and SWC officials said Monday
that was the best mark in three
decades.
This year’s winning percentage
is .685 (with bowl games still to
go) and the last time the SWC had
that good a showing was in 1950,
when the conference teams had a
21-9 record, or a . 700 percentage.
Post-season competition will
be counted into this year’s in
tersectional record, but even if
the SWC should go 0-4 in bowl
games this year’s percentage
would still be the best since 1950.
In addition, the results from
the current decade reverse a
trend that has been followed
since the first SWC season in
1915. In every decade since the
conference was founded, the
league’s non-conference record
has gotten progressively worse.
That has been brought about
by the improved quality of oppo
sition, the conference replacing
such opponents as Meridian,
Daniel Baker and Henry Kendall
with such teams as Oklahoma,
Alabama, USC, Nebraska, Notre
Dame and Michigan.
In the 20’s the SWC’s intersec
tional percentage was . 750. It was
.689 in the 30’s, .643 in the 40’s,
.610 in the 50’s, .533 in the 60s
and now, with the 70 s drawing to
a close, the conference’s won-loss
percentage is .574.
During the 70’s the SWC ex
perienced only one losing season,
a .391 mark in 1971, compared to
four losing years in the 60 s.
Among the eight teams to de
feat SWC clubs this year have
been Alabama, USC, Brigham
Young, LSU and Alabama.
Among the 18 victims have been
Oklahoma, UCLA, Missouri and
Penn State.
Little, Hatchett Longhorn heroes
United Press International
AUSTIN — A week ago Texas
quarterback Donnie Little was ben
ched in favor of two freshmen be
cause Fred Akers said the Longhorn
signal caller “got rattled” against
Texas Tech.
But Little redeemed himself in a
21-13 victory over Texas Tech, and
Akers named the Dickinson sopho
more the team’s outstanding offen
sive player of the game.
“That was a pressure-packed ball
game,” Akers said of the victory that
propelled Texas back into a share of
the Southwest Conference lead and
knocked Houston from the list of un
beaten teams.
“It required execution, which he
provided; it required leadership

which he provided,” Akers said.
“His running was good, his execu
tion was good and his passing was
good, and the result was on the
scoreboard.”
Akers called the victory over
Houston the “most complete game
we’ve played.”
“It involved big plays on offense,
big plays on defense and big plays in
the kicking game,” he said. “There
were a lot of obstacles to overcome,
and we had to come from behind
twice.”
Akers said the Longhorn coaching
staff had seen no indication in its
scouting of Houston that would indi
cate Texas would be able to block
two Cougar punts, and said Texas
had a return called when Kenneth
Sims blocked the first one.
“After the first one, we called sev
eral blocks,” Akers said, including
the play on which Conny Hatch
blocked a punt that set up a Texas
touchdown.
Cornerback Derrick Hatchett,
who had two interceptions and broke
up three passes against the Cougars,
was selected by the Longhorn
coaches as the team’s outstanding
defensive player of the game, even
though he was burned in the first half
on a 51-yard pass from Delrick
Brown to Lonnell Phea.
Texas, now 7-1 for the year, faces
TCU Saturday, and Akers empha
sized the Horned Frogs no longer
are playing like the conference door
mat they have been in recent years.
