much about Texas because they
haven’t played a game yet this
season,” Stobart said Tuesday.
“We do know they lost a lot of
good players from their 1981
Cotton Bowl champion team.
But I’m sure they will be able to
replace them with quality
players.”
Stobart says Texas coach
Fred Akers has one of the best
college football programs in the
country.
“And our skill people need to
improve and we need to cut
down on our mental mistakes if
we’re going to have a chance,”
he said.
The 1-1 Utes leave Friday
morning for their Saturday
night game at Austin.
“Our performance against
Arizona State last weekend
causes me a great deal of con
cern,” Stobart says. The Utes
were ahead 10-6 at halftime, but
then helped ASU win following
a series of a half dozen Utah in
terceptions and fumbles.

Your formal education will soon be completed and many of you

concerning employment opportunities.
Bring your resume (and a friend) to the MSC-Room 212. 'We'll
be there from 8:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on September 16th.

In addition, you will have the option of scheduling a formal

beat the Rangers 3-2 Tuesday
night.
O’Connor, 7-7, spent the en
tire 1981 season with the Twins
as a short reliever, finishing with
a 6.72 ERA, but was sent down
to Toledo in April.
“When they called me up and
put me in the rotation,” O’Con
nor said, “it gave me confidence
that they thought I could pitch
here.
“Last year, I was tentative and
not sure of myself,” he said. “I
didn’t know if the Twins were
just keeping me around or what.
But since they sent me down and
called me back, it made me feel
like they thought I had the
ability.”
The Rangers, who are trying
to stay ahead of the Twins and
out of the American League
West’s cellar, rapped three
and two runs in the thirdinm

Ballplayers aren’t that crazy
about making speeches. Or lis
tening to them, either.
But this would be a good time
for somebody with the Mil
waukee Brewers to get up and
tell the rest of them they’re blow
ing the whole barrel of beer by
relying on one man too much to
carry it all.
Rollie Fingers is right up
there with the greatest relief
pitchers ever, but when he’s out,
as he is now, life must go on.
More than anyone else, Fin
gers was responsible for the
Brewers compiling the best re
cord in the American League
East and making the playoffs for
the first time last season. His
contribution, with his 28 saves
and 1.04 ERA, was incalculable,
and he was entirely deserving of
the Cy Young and Most Valu
able Player awards, which made
him the first reliever in history
to win both in the same year.
This year he hasn’t been quite
that spectacular, but he was still
good enough to help bring the
Brewers to the top again with 29
saves, one more than last year,
and a 2.60 ERA. Those were his
numbers when he was forced
out of action two weeks ago with
a slight muscle tear in his right
forearm. That “slight” tear
seems to have ripped the heart
out of the Brewers.
They don’t look anything at
all like the same ballclub they
were when Fingers went on the
shelf.
The Brewers are still hoi .
on to first place, but theOrl

When the Brewers ti
Randy Lerch to the Expos
month, he said he was sort)
was leaving “the best team
baseball.” Minus Fin)
however, Milwaukee is
pressed to live up to Lei
label.
Sometimes, ,it takes a
player like Don Money to
vate a club.
Money serves as the Brei
