backer Jerry Bullitt all but sealed Baylor’s
fate with a kiss — and a 15-yard loss.
On the Bears’ final play of the after
noon, quarterback David Mangrum
plummeted to the ground, and his only
answer was a dying aerial on fourth down
that gave the Aggies the ball and, in
effect, the ball game.
Those few plays rendered meaning
less the Baylor drives that added points
on the right side of the scoreboard but
only performed cosmetic surgery on the
Bears’ offensive statistics.
Defensive Coordinator R.C. Slocum
had to be pleased with the belated
awakening of his weary warriors, who
were forced to occupy the field for most
of the half.
Credit also goes to the Aggie offense,
which capitalized on turnovers in the
first half and the beginning of the third
quarter, and started an unusually sedate
crowd celebrating early.
So now the Aggies have salvaged a
victory and have possibly gained some
momentum on defense that could help in
the future.
So much for Baylor. Rice is next, and a
list of guidelines compiled by observing
some of the little things that have frus
trated the Aggies this season could be
helpful in Saturday’s effort:
— On kickoffs or on-side kicks, fall on
the ball when it rolls or bounces by.
— Intense defenders should avoid
squeamish officials when administering
powerful blows to receivers or other ball
carriers.
— Aggie pass rushers should kick
opposing off ensive linemen who insist on
hugging them around the knees (unless a
squeamish official is nearby).
— Find some way to keep opposing
teams occupied at halftime.
— Keep the clock running in the
second half.
— Outlaw injuries.
While some of these suggestions may
be a bit way-out, others are probably
being dealt with this week as the Aggies
prepare to host the Owls.

But Jack Donlan, the NFL’s
jef negotiator, insisted man-
:ment was ready to appear at
bargaining table Monday
Iht.
“We waited all day for the
union to show up, but they had
other things to do,” Donlan said
in a rare statement to the media
since the marathon talks began a
week ago.
Ed Garvey, executive director
of the NFL Players Association,
said the players also were pre
pared to convene at the bargain
ing table with management rep
resentatives and Kagel.
“We’re ready to go if they
(management) want to go,” Gar
vey said when asked why Kagel
had canceled the talks.
Garvey and Donlan talked to
the press Monday night despite
Kagel’s imposition of a news
blackout when talks began at a
hotel in the Baltimore suburbs.
Both sides met without Kagel
to open discussions on the crucial
economic issues. But after the
hour-long meeting the two sides
spent the rest of the day meeting
separately with Kagel shuttling
between the groups.

The Razorbacks had an open date Saturday and had not prac-

“For a Monday it was not a normal practice,” Holtz said Mon-
,y. “With the day off Saturday we were able to have a little more
ysical practice than we usually do on a Monday. Because we
n’t play a game some of the sharpness wasn’t there.
“I didn’t expect us to be as sharp though.”
Holtz said he did not get a good chance to evaluate his offense
mse that unit spent most of the practice on the grass field south
Razorback Stadium.

turday.

Series title one game
away for Milwaukee
United Press International
ST. LOUIS — The Milwaukee
Brewers, who seldom do any
thing the easy way, hope to break
form tonight and capture the
World Series with one game to
spare.
Leading three games to two,
they send veteran Don Sutton
against St. Louis Cardinal rookie
John Stuper in Game 6, aiming
to avoid a seventh and deciding
game.
“This is a little different situa
tion for us as we’ve been behind
the last couple of weeks,” said
Milwaukee right fielder Charlie
Moore, a .350 hitter in the Series
with three doubles. “We’re put
ting the pressure on someone
else and now it’s up to them to
catch us.”
With Robin Yount hitting .524
and the Milwaukee defense pro
ducing enough plays to relocate
on Broadway, catching the Brew
ers could prove difficult. Never
theless, the Cardinals believe
their home field can help gener
ate some runs and they believe
Stuper can prevent some.
“The pressure is something
I’m thinking about right now,
and maybe after the game I’ll re
flect on it,” Stuper said. “If you’re
out there on the mound shaking,
it can interfere with what you
do.”
The weather forecast calls for
temperatures in the 50s and a 40
percent chance of showers, but it
might take a snowstorm to stop
Yount, a candidate for both the
American League and World
Series MVP Awards.
He is 1 l-for-21 and has be
come the only player to achieve
two four-hit games in the Series.
He is within two hits of the World
Series’ record shared by the New
York Yankees’ Bobby Richard
son and the Cardinals’ Lou
Brock. Milwaukee Manager Har
vey Kuenn is running out of ways!
to describe him.
“As I’ve said before, he is the
best all-around shortstop I’ve
ever seen play,” he said.
St. Louis Manager Whitey
Herzog is running out of ways to
pitch to him.
“We kept trying to get the ball in
a spot,” said Herzog. “Every time
we get the ball in the spot he hits
it.”
Brewers’ first baseman Cecil
Cooper said: “He’s done the job
defensively all year long and he
certainly has done it offensively.
Both management and union
sources reported little progress
in the talks. A management
source said the discussions “did
not give us a lot to jump up and
down about.”
