United Press International In the six years since the Baylor Bears last went to the Cotton Bowl, coach Grant Teaff feels he has learned a lot. “We know now how to prepare a team and what to do before the game is played,” said Teaff. “I remember when we played Penn State in the (1975) Cotton Bowl our eyes were glazed over. Joe Paterno (the Penn State coach) must have been laughing up his sleeve. ” And now that Baylor has fought its way to its best regular season ever, does Teaff feel his team might have an emotional edge when the Bears meet Alabama in the Cotton Bowl Jan. 1? “Well, I don’t know about that,” he said. “I will just say this. We want to make the Southwest Conference and the people of the Cotton Bowl proud of our effort. “Whether that’s good enough to beat Alabama remains to be seen. We didn’t play them as well as we could have last year and I’m glad we will have a chance to play them again.” Baylor has come a long way since its 45-0 loss to the Crimson Tide ear ly last season. Just how far the Bears have come was clearly demonstrated last Saturday in their 16-0 blitzing of the Texas Longhorns — who suf fered their first shutout since coach Fred Akers came to the school in 1977. But while Baylor’s regular season has ended, six other Southwest Con ference teams have another game to play and those contests will each have a special interest of their own. The Houston Cougars, heading for the Garden State Bowl to take on Navy, must first meet in-town rival Rice — a team that has played its best football in years and which has had two weeks to get ready for this Walton residents keep flame alive Vol. 74 b 6 Pages n Rice has not beaten Houston since the Cougars came into the confer ence, losing by scores of 42-20, 51- 21, 49-25 and 63-0. Although Hous ton is playing at perhaps its best level of the season, the Owls could present an emotional challenge. By RICK STOLLE Battalion Staff Like Olympian runners from Athens, Greece, 12 residents of Wal ton Hall went to Austin Sunday to light the first flame for the 1980 Texas A&M bonfire. The 12 lit a candle, from which the A&M bonfire will be lit, at Memorial Stadium in Austin to symbolize the “burning desire” Aggies have to beat the hell out of the University of Texas. They put the candle in a car and began a marathon carrying a symbolic torch back to A&M. "Yeah, we were 12 hardy fools,” said junior Pete Petroski, “but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. ” The marathon was run in seg ments with each of the runners split ting time on the road. The runners ran quarter-mile segments for half of the journey and then went to half- mile jogs for the remainder of the trip. Each marathoner ran a total of 10 miles during the trip. Paul Stolle said the group got to the stadium at 3:15 a. m. Sunday and arrived at Kyle Field at 4:15 p.m. “We all got out at the vet center and ran to Kyle Field,” he said. “I’m paying for it now, though.” The marathon has become a tradi tion in Walton.
