Six SWC teams
face action
over weekend
THE BATTALION Page 15
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1981
Intersectional games find
Baylor hoping to bounce back
from its opening week setback at
home against Bowling Green,
SMU going for a second straight
victory in Texas Stadium against
North Texas State, Arkansas open
ing its season in Fayetteville
against Tulsa and Texas Tech be
ginning its year on the road against
Colorado.
TCU, Houston and Texas A&M
all have the weekend off.
Rice, which chose to play more
of a ball control game last year,
will likely display more of a wide-
open offense this year because of
added speed and some talented
receivers.
“We may even run some shot
gun formation,” said Albom.
This will mark the second
straight year that Texas has
opened its season against a confer
ence foe. Last year the Longhorns
moved their game with Arkansas
up to Labor Day for national tele
vision purposes and whipped the
Razorbacks.
Other than the Rice-Texas
game, the majority of interest will
likely be focused on Arkansas’
opener.
The Razorbacks are one of this
year’s mystery teams and some
answers could be forthcoming
against Tulsa. Last weekend the
Hurricane lost a 15-11 encounter
with Kansas.
“From everything I’ve heard
and read, Tulsa should have defe
ated Kansas,” said Arkansas coach
Lou Holtz. “You have losses like
that sometimes in season openers.
There are times when the best
team doesn’t win.
“The greatest improvement a
team makes during the year is be
tween the first and second games
so we expect Tulsa to be better
than it was last week. ”

■Even Ray Alborn admits that if
|ehad to pick the order of finish in
the Southwest Conference that he
niight select the Rice Owls last,
which is exactly where most of the
Hseason polls have his team.
But that doesn’t mean he has to
e it.
|“I don’t give a hoot where we
are picked, Alborn said in the
prior to his team’s first apper-
anceofthe season. “It is the finish
counts. Every time I read
[where we are picked to finish last
phaps me. It really makes me
rant to prove everybody wrong.
irOur kids will play with confi-
pice and will go all out.”
■ Rice was picked somewhere
nr the bottom last year, but split
Jp in its eight conference games
and tied the Texas Longhorns for
|rth place. The Owls finished
I year on quite a high, storming
It the Houston Cougars, 35-7.
| Now Rice has to prove itself all
p again and it gets its first
race Saturday night in Austin
the Owls face the Lon-
in the season’s opening
ference game.
he Rice roster was devastated
Int\\^graduation, but a winning en-
,iltBsiasm was passed on to those
still on the campus. And the Owls
are obviously catching the Lon-
itteramifflms at an opportune moment.
[ Texas, plagued by injuries in
oot-l(i ithen disappointing 1980 season,
hy Fre will open the year without its two
' setts®ting running backs — A.J.

is currently suffering from a hand

the a* JrCKlCAGO — Jimmy Piersall
;e voile has survived tangles with players,
bot-10 Ripires and writers during his
^irls m fte years as a Chicago White Sox
Mevision announcer but his dis-
; team foraging comments about players’
DallasJ lives has again put his job on the
hall Asa line.
1 thevJl Piersall was suspended indefi-
ikthitfptely with pay by the team’s own
ers Wednesday night because of
his comments on a recent televi
sion show hosted by Chicago Sun-
limes columnist Mike Royko.
I White Sox owner Jerry Re ins-
dor! denied Piersall had been
er tP hied, saying he and club Presi
dent Eddie Einhorn will meet
with Piersall within the next sev-
n to * urai days to discuss the television
illvisitl ||inouncer’s future with the club.
PiegO'j I Piersall had told Royko, “I
Tbe | flunk each ball club should have a

“ayers) on baseball because I
lon’t think they know what the
baseball is. First of all, they

get married and they wanted a lit

Several White Sox players’
ives complained about the re-
arks to Reinsdorf, who de-
ribed them as an “embarass-
lentto the organization,” during
an impromptu press conference
piling the Sox’ Wednesday night
me against Seattle.
“We need time to reflect and we
meet with him to discuss the
ituation. ”
Piersall, who was not on the air
Wednesday night, was unavail
able for comment.

MIAMI — Evidence that the
Pittsburgh Steeler dynasty is ag
ing its way out of existence is
mounting.
The four-time Super Bowl
champions lost their second game
of the season, 30-10, to the Miami
Dolphins Thursday night and con
cern for the Steelers is deepening.
But the Steelers aren’t giving
up. In fact, they’re spending a lot
of time looking for answers.
“We’ve got to win a game to
realize we can win,” said quarter
back Terry Bradshaw, 33, after the
embarrassing loss to the now un
beaten Dolphins. “Maybe if we
can get a win, we can get back on
the track again.
“I think we need to relax—quit
thinking about mistakes and have
some fun.”
Coach Chuck Noll’s solution
was characteristically simple:
“We’re just going to have to play
better, naturally. We might use
Miami as a model.”
Not only did the Dolphins win
impressively as they did in their
20-7 win over St. Louis in their
opener Sunday, they did it in the
most entertaining way possible.
“We went for it — for the big
plays — figuring that was the only
way to win a game like this. We
didn’t hold back and we got some
big plays,” said Coach Don Shula.
Most of the big gainers were
served up Southern style by quar
terback David Woodley, the
second year pro from Louisiana
State, and Tony Nathan, the run
ning back from Alabama.
OOOOOOOOOQOOOOOOOO
Woodley scored one touch
down himself by sneaking from
one yard out and passed 13 yards
to Nathan for another while com
pleting 14 of 34 passes for 161
yards.

CHRIST
He’s easy winner in any contest for THE
MOST HATED AND THE MOST LOVED
PERSON OF ALL HISTORY! Oddly
enough, He has something to say to both
those who hate Him and those that love
Him and even those who may not care
to listen to Him. We think He has spoken
authentically in the Bible in simple terms,
not just a lot of meaningless religious
gobbledygook but rockbottom facts about
people living with people, the energy
problem, sexual freedom, war, getting
ahead, ugly people, fun, money, fanatics,
doing your thing, study and results, hy
pocrisy, dirty talk, for Christ’s sake,
heaven and hell, body and soul, jogging,
smart losers, normal schizophrenics. Of
course, we can’t cover everything every
Sunday but you’ll get some of it any time.
We try to get down to the basics. You
may really like it!
