So when Arkansas and Houston — >th losers of one SWC contest — et in the Astrodome Saturday, e likely will be eliminated from jhoto by Pat 01 jparation [# e hunt. The respective coaches urdav afte|f now ^ e ^ e d that gloomy fact in ■lephone news conferences Wednesday. i' lt could be classified as an elimi- Ijltion game,” said Lou Holtz, coach 4-1 Arkansas. “I don’t think the Inner of this football game will — Jcessarily win the conference, but ohave a chance you have to win this I OT^ 6 -” I * [Coach Bill Yeoman, whose ^ J ibugars are 3-3, agreed. “If you lose one game, every game you play is an elimination game,” he said. They have their backs to the wall, but so do we.” The Razorbacks got their loss in a Sept. 1 meeting with second-ranked Texas, but have a conference win at the expense of TCU. Houston was beaten by Baylor three weeks ago, but have rebounded with consecu tive wins over Texas A & M and Southern Methodist to stay in the race. The Razorbacks are coming off an open date, which Holtz said had advantages and disadvantages. He said the Hogs were healthier and quicker than they were in their last game, a 27-7 win over Wichita State. The extra time gave coaches time to work with younger players and re-evaluate the squad. But an open date disrupts a team’s momentum, said Holtz, because it is used to playing on Saturday. When they do not play, athletes often burn themselves out in practice before the next game rolls around. Holtz said he would like to open up the offense against the Cougars — going more to the passing game — but it was essential to be able to run against Houston. “If we do not control the football and make some first downs, it will be a long evening for us,” said Holtz. “But I think we’re capable of running the football on anyone. ” To establish a ground game against Houston, an offense has to contend with linemen Leonard Mitchell, Hosea Taylor and Terry Monroe, who average 265 pounds. Holtz doesn’t particularly like the Astrodome because the playing sur face is flat, absent the crown most fields have. But he said he figured out the reason why.

Police reported minor incidents of vandalism but no serious problems. Intersections were blocked in ev ery part of town. Broad Street, lead ing from Veterans Stadium into cen ter city, was lined with traffic. Cars, some carrying beer-guzzlers and others with fans sprawled over their hoods, toured downtown streets. Bar patrons called for another round. Some fans wept. Some danced atop buses. Others screamed “We re No. 1.” A cab driver, his ear glued to the radio to hear the final out, turned away potential fares. An estimated 2,000 Temple Uni versity students emerged en masse from dormitories and joined thousands of neighborhood residents for a 34-block march to City Hall and back. Those that stayed out cranked up stereos blaring the theme from the film “Rocky.” Gov. Dick Thornburgh declared today “Philadelphia Phillies Day” across the state and Mayor William J. Green quipped, the victory “was a fulfillment of a campaign promise.” It definitely was a time for jubila tion and Philadelphians were ready. “Man, they’re going nuts in this place,” said Mickey McCloskey, 52, a bartender at Jim’s Tavern down town. “We think its the best thing in the world.” “They’ve done one helluva job. I’m so damn happy I could cry,” added McCloskey, who was indeed shedding tears. “I feel overjoyed,” gushed Ray Ryan, a maintenance worker. “It’s 30 years overdue.” Asked if he had doubts: “Never.” Ben Millrood, 22, recalled another championship as he poured beer over the head of a buddy. “Do you remember when the Flyers won the Stanley Cup in 1974? Well, (to day’s) parade is going to make that parade look like a tinker toy.” Rich Herman, an attorney from Warren, Pa., declared he was a Red Sox fan, but said “I think this is fan tastic. I can’t believe how crazy it’s going to get.” “It was like pandemonium when it all broke loose,” said Temple secur ity guard Joe Schweitzer. “I was even thinking about hiding under one of the cars. It came rushing down like an avalanche.” g bowlers tough, vin big in meet High School opponents i by RIC HARD OLIVER is a joke to f 1 , r c. ; Sports Editor s P ort , Last weekend the Texas A&M “linen’s bowling team made a good nt in proving its worth this Bon. ics e has not si ensive tacit loint hiftea ^ er initially falling behind the s Roberts I ^ ers > the Aggie women came from l ji iind to overtake the leaders and because [[J the first meet of the fall season at m University of Texas. he men’s team, despite a 300 e by Mark My rick, could only age a second place, oth the Aggie teams compete in om eating "Be Central Division of the Texas In- lt a bit queasipcollegiate Bowling Conference Lewisville, 1«BC) against Texas, Trinity, and have three|uthwest Texas State.

Texas Tech has an open date. “When you have players the size of Houston’s — they flatten it out.” Yeoman said he had not decided who would be his starting quarter back Saturday. Audrey McMilliam, a freshman, led the team in Houston’s 13-11 win over SMU. But Brent Chinn apparently has recovered from a deep thigh bruise that idled him the week before, and probably will get the nod. “It was about as good of freshman performance as I’ve ever seen,” said Yeoman of McMilliam’s outing against SMU. Yeoman said this Arkansas team was much like the others he has faced. He said it had excellent players and the motivation to be tough under any circum stances. “You can tell they have the press ure of a state on them,” he said. “It makes them tough.” Appearing LIVE TONIGHT JAZZ Cover gl.00 4410 College Main S46-948S 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 1620 Texas Ave. 693-3716 Mon.-Sat. 9-9 Sun. 10-6 Lonestar Longnecks GJ99 case plus deposit essing monstrationof quipment Old Milwaukee DR.
