ABC to televise Aggie-
Razorback showdown
By RITCHIE PRIDDY
Sports Editor
ABC-TV has announced that
he Texas A&M-Arkansas game
■vill be regionally televised Satur-
Jay. The start of the game has
oeen changed from 2 p.m. to 2:50
lue to the earlier nationally aired
game between Penn State and
Alabama.
The game features two of the
top teams in the Southwest Con
ference race, each of which could
move a step closer to a Cotton
Bowl berth with a win.
Arkansas is coming off an im
pressive offensive showing against
Baylor. The Hogs won 41-39 in
Little Rock but had to come from
behind to do so.
The loss prevents Baylor from
repeating as the SWC champion.
No team has ever won the confer
ence with two losses, and Baylor
stands at 5-4, 3-3 in conference
play. SMU and Texas lead the
pack with only one loss each. SMU
can win the SWC title, but can’t
participate in post-season com
petition because of its NCAA
probation. Texas can, however,
and has the best shot at it.
The Longhorns are 6-1-1, 3-1-1
in conference action. The Horns
rallied to tie the Houston Cougars
14-14 Saturday. The tie all but eli
minated the Cougars, who now
have a 5-3-1, 3-2-1 in conference.
Texas must play TCU and
Baylor at home before traveling to
Texas A&M in its final game.
The Aggies had the weekend off
and are sitting in a good position.
Although the Ags own a 5-3 record
(3-2 in conference), they must play
two title contenders in their re
maining three games, both at
home.
The first opponent calls on the
Aggies Saturday, and coach Tom
Wilson said that his team got a
head start preparing for the Razor-
backs because of the week off, but
added that the time was needed.
“We’ve had some good work
outs. Last week we accomplished
several things,’ he said in his
weekly press conference. “It gave
us time to mentally prepare for
Arkansas.”

Wilson added that his team
wasn’t in a pressure situation last
week as it had been (no game),
which helped relax the players
and gave them a chance to think
about what has to be done.
The week off gave the bumps
and bruises time to heal, and
everyone should be fine going into
the game.
Wilson was pleased with the re
turn ofcornerback Darrell Adams.
Adams injured his ribs in the
Baylor game and has not seen
much action. He should see a
great deal of playing time
Saturday.
Saturday marks the anniversary
of the “turnaround” the Aggies
have gone through. Last year
Arkansas jumped out to a 24-0
halftime lead but the Aggies didn’t
collapse, mounting a fierce come
back that tied the game at 24-24.
Ish Ordonez broke the tie with a
last-minute field goal that gave
the Hogs a 27-24 win.
Since then the Aggies have won
seven games while losing only
three. The Ags have undergone
many changes over the past year,
the most notable being in the
team’s attitude. The players be
lieve in themselves, and they
know they can win.
“Last year’s game had its good
and bad points. The loss was dis
appointing, but it turned it all
around for us too,” senior guard
Kent Adams said.
Assistant coach David Beal,
who quarterbacked the Aggies in
last year’s Arkansas game, said the
game played a major role in shap
ing the team’s attitude.
Pokes, Dorset! stop
Bills with 27-14 win
ils (
United Press International
IRVING — The Dallas Cowboys make a habit
— as displayed the two previous weeks against
Miami and Philadelphia — of winning games late
in the second half.
But, for a diversion, they won one Monday
night at the start of the second half.
There were plenty of meaningful moments in
Monday night’s Dallas-Buffalo brawl, including a
pass Bills’ quarterback Joe Ferguson should not
have thrown — but did — from a praying posi
tion. But the biggest play of all came before quite
a few of the chilled witnesses at Texas Stadium
had found the way back to their seats following
the halftime break.
With the Cowboys trailing, 14-7, Tony Dorset!
grabbed a pass from Danny White at midfield on
the opening play of the third quarter, bounced off
Buffalo linebacker Lucius Sanford and romped
the rest of the way for what went for a 73-yard pass
play that tied the game.
Like a balloon that has had an unfortunate
meeting with a sharp instrument, Buffalo de
flated.
The Cowboys went on to down the Bills, 27-14,
win their 14th straight game at home, beat an
AFC opponent for the sixth straight time and
regain a share of the NFC East lead with Philadel
phia at 8-2.
Buffalo, meanwhile, dropped to 6-4 and fell a
game and a halfback of AFC East leading Miami.
“Things like that (Dorsett’s play) happen when
Lady Luck is not on your side,” said Bills’ nose
guard Fred Smerlas.
Ferguson had riddled Dallas’ young secondary
for 224 yards in the first half, but the Bills’ could
manage only a seven-point advantage at intermis-
mushroomed in Dallas’ favor.
Dallas went on to score 20 points in the thin)
quarter — White hit Tony Hill on a 37-yard pas
after he had first handed off to Dorsett and tb
received a pitch hack from the Cowboys’runniaj
back. Rafael Septien, who has missed only ont
field goal attempt all year, then hit on tries ofll
and 31 yards.
The flea-flicker pass to Hill and Septien’s
field goal were set up by interceptions— onety jump
cornerback Everson Walls and another by line
backer D. D. Lewis.
was
firs’ jthe
Then, after the White-to-Dorsett strike, events
Dallas had scored in the first half on a 12-yard
throw from White to tight end Doug Cosbie and
Buffalo had struck for two touchdowns—oneom
17-yard pass from Ferguson to Jerry Butlerand
another on a halfback pass of nine yards from Joe
Cribbs to Curtis Brown.
But it was the score Buffalo did not
end of the first half that cost the Bills.
Buffalo had marched from its own 13 to tlie
Dallas 9 when Ferguson made a costly mistake.
He went back to throw but slipped on the artificial
surface. Before any Cowboy player could get to
Ferguson to touch him and thus record aquarter-
back trap, Ferguson threw the ball with one bee
on the ground.
The ball shot into the air, fair game for anyone
who could get to it. That someone turnedoutto
be Dallas’ Michael Downs.
Somewhat lost in the evening was Dorsett’s
latest entry in the record books. He gained 111
yards against Buffalo to run his NFL leading total
to 1,089- This marks the 11th year he has gained
1,000 yards — dating back to his junior yearia
high school. He is also the first pro playereverto
surpass 1,000 yards in each of his first five sea
sons.

“The Arkansas game last year
was the first time since I’ve been
at A&M that I felt our team
wouldn’t quit and could come
back and win,” Beal said. “It
started the new attitude that has
carried over to this year’s team.”
