PURYEAR Don’t miss your chance to be part of Aggieland ’82 Don’t miss picking up your copy of Aggieland ’81 United Press International The Arkansas Razorbacks man aged to take a lot of the starch out of Saturday’s Texas-SMU colli sion. But at the same time they man aged to turn this week’s Southwest Conference circus into multi- ringed affair with all sorts of possi bilities coming to life as far as the host spot in the Cotton Bowl is concerned. The unbeaten SMU Mustangs, leading the conference race and having a shot at only its third per fect season ever, will still capture the spotlight in its run-in with the disappointed Longhorns. But because SMU, what with its probation, is ineligible for the Cotton Bowl berth this year, the race for that spot could reach new heights on the confusion meter. Arkansas, Texas A&M, Rice and Texas all go into this week’s round with one conference loss while Baylor, Houston and TCU have two each. “No team in the Southwest Conference is without talent and no league team is incapable of de feating any other league team,’’ said Arkansas coach Lou Holtz. “It’s a rather unusual year,” added Baylor coach Grant Teaff. “Anything can happen. I know it would be difficult for us to make it. Even if SMU runs off with the race and everybody else has at least two losses, the Cotton Bowl berth would probably be decided by which team has gone the longest without playing there and, of course, we played there last season.” But Baylor can’t be counted out yet. In fact, only the unfortuate Texas Tech Red Raiders (who have lost all four of their conference starts) are obviously out of the pic ture. This week’s lineup includes: — Texas (4-1) at SMU (6-0). The Longorns face the necessity of bouncing back from one of its more destructive losses in quite some time while SMU has suf fered nothing but good fortune since the opening of the season. “These guys have a great chal lenge,” said Texas coach Fred Ak ers, whose team’s national ranking slipped from first to eighth after its loss to Arkansas. “They are play ing a fine team and maybe that challenge is what we need. ” — Houston (3-3) vs. Arkansas (4-1) at Little Rock. Turnovers have cost the Cougars in two straight games while Arkansas must fight off the seemingly in evitable letdown following a big win. “But I fear a letdown after the Texas game less with this team than with any team I’ve ever coached,” said Holtz. “Sure, there is always a chance, but I don’t think it will happen.” — Texas A&M (4-2) at Rice (3-3). The Owls have won three games in a row and with quarter back Michael Calhoun throwing touchdown passes at an alarming clip they have developed the same winning confidence they had a year ago. Wins by Rice, SMU and Houston this week would leave the Owls as the leader in the Cot ton Bowl derby. — TCU (2-3-1) at Baylor (4-1). Its win over Texas A&M last week was a critical one for the Bears, who now could rally and get back into the postseason picture. TCU, meanwhile, is not the same team without injured receiver Stan) j 153 ® Washington and hisstatusw% 1 long way in determining I] u , much of a fight the HornedFi» e r ^ i ‘ will have.
