We would have been expected to win there, too.” But Monday, having had a weekend to relax following his SMU Mustangs’ final regular- season game, Collins admitted that a tremendous weight had been lifted from his shoulders. “Absolutely,” Collins said. “I think what happened is that I finally realized that there was, after all, pressure on me this year. After the Arkansas game some of the lid came off. “When the game was over and it all set in, I realized that that there was pressure on this team. But it was a fun year.” Collins, whose Mustangs posted a 10-0-1 regular season and will be the host team in the Cotton Bowl against Pittsburgh Jan. 1, was named UPI South west Conference coach of the year Monday. In addition, the SMU offen sive trio of Eric Dickerson, Craig James and Lance Mcllhenny all repeated as members of the UPI si Eric Dickerson first team, SWC’s top offensive player all-SWC team. It is the first time in the 35-year balloting by UPI that three players'f'rom the same backfield have been voted to the team two years in a row. No quarterback has repeated on the all-conference team since Edd Hargett of Texas A&M did so in 1967 and 1968. Dickerson also was voted the league’s out standing offensive player of the year for the second straight sea son and that has not happened since Roosevelt Leaks of Texas did it in 1972 and 1973. the ball in tit uld be-agfi to sit in lit t. rilbewatcl I built andat ved against Gymnasts floor UTA The Texas A&M gymnastics ;am defeated the University of' raas-Arlington 215-150 in a ual meet held in East Kyle turday night.

Collins admitted there was a brief time last spring when he and his staff were not so sure things were going to work out as well as they eventually did. “Of course we had not had a chance to see the players on the field when we came to SMU,” said Collins. “We had seen them on film and we were excited ab out what we had seen. “Then, when they went onto the field in the spring, there was severe depression among the coaching staff. But we were put ting in a whole new system with new terminology. It would have been virtually impossible for a team to make an immediate transition. “It did give us a severe jolt at that time, though, 't hen we saw some spark in the spring game * ¥ * ammhmmmhhhm- I SCHULMAN ; i THEATRES H 4- $1 off adult ticket 4- 1st Matinee * 4- Mon-family night Sch 6 * > Tue-family night M.E.
