AUSTIN — Because of the
time and the circumstances, the
annual case of Arkansas-Texas
fever might not be quite as con
tagious as usual this year.
But the Razorbacks and the
Longhorns could play in the
middle of May and it would still
be a biggie.
“It’s rare when it isn’t a great
game,” says Texas coach Fred

Akers, getting to the heart of the
matter.
Beginning with the arrival of
Frank Broyles at Arkansas and
Darrell Royal at Texas in 1959
-—either the Hogs or Longhorns
won the conference title 13 out
of 15 years.
The rest of the Southwest
Conference began to make
dents in that record starting in
1974 — the year Baylor stunned
the big shots and in a season that
is now looked upon as some
thing of a landmark in league
history.
Still, this game is one of the
major events each year in the
SWC and for the second time in
three seasons ABC-TV suc
ceeded in moving it from its ori
ginal mid-October spot on the
schedule.
In 1980 Texas and Arkansas
kicked off the decade by playing
each other on the f irst Monday
night in September.
Last year the game was played
at its regularly appointed time,
but it was also nationally tele
vised — the then-No. 1 Lon
ghorns being humiliated in
Fayetteville, 42-11.
Now the Longhorns and
Razorbacks will be playing on
the last weekend of the season in
a game the television people
hoped might bring together the
nation’s top two teams.
Arkansas (8-1-1) will go into
the game ranked sixth and
Texas (8-2) is 10th. But neither
will be conference champion
this year.
After losing back-to-back
meetings with Oklahoma and
SMU, T exas has won five games
in a row. Arkansas has had a
week off to try to forget about a
17-17 tie with SMU.
“That game would probably
have had an affect if we had
played them maybe two hours
afterwards,” Akers said. “But
with two weeks rest and prepa
ration, I don’t expect that.
“They never seem to have
any trouble getting up for us.”

WASHINGTON — It’ll be
like old times Sunday when the
unbeaten Washington Redskins
host the Dallas Cowboys at RFK
Stadium.
For several years, until the
past three seasons, the two NFL
teams were usually Fighting for
the top spot in the NFC East.
This year, they go for the top
spot in the entire NFC.
The Redskins, 4-0, are the
only NFL team without a defeat
and have won seven straight and
12 of their last 15 over two sea
sons.
Dallas, 3-1, owns five straight
victories over Washington. The
Redskins haven’t beaten the
Cowboys since taking a 34-20
decision Nov. 18, 1979, at RFK.
Both teams are in good shape
for the 16-team Super Bowl
playoffs since the top eight
teams in each conference
qualify.
The rivalry was built to a fever
pitch by former Redskins Coach
George Allen and his veteran
team called the “Over-the-Hill
Gang.” Few players still active
took part in the verbal battles.
In fact, Dallas Coach Tom
Landry is one of the few remain
ing participants in this rivalry,
and his low-key approach
doesn’t excite opponents.
Second-year Redskins Coach
Joe Gibbs doesn’t put the game
in the same category as Allen,
either.
“We want to get into the play
offs, no matter who we have to
play or beat to get there,” Gibbs
said. “Dallas is one of our re
maining games and we want like
crazy to win it. But we still have
to beat other people, too.”
Dallas comes off a 10-day
layoff following their 31-14
Thanksgiving Day thumping of
the Cleveland Browns for Land
ry’s 200th NFL victory, against
113 losses and six ties. Washing
ton squeezed past Philadelphia,
13-9, last Sunday in the mud.
T he layoff has helped in the
past, as Dallas is 13-1 in games
following the Thanksgiving
layoff.
“Obviously, we should have
an advantage,” Landry said.
“We should be in pretty good
condition. The combination of
rest and a few days to condition
should help.”
Dallas was expected to be in
the heat of the regular-season
race, strike-interrupted or not.
No one, however, figured the
Redskins to be undefeated at
this stage with four victories
over 1981 playoff participants. '
“We had to go down to life-
and-death in the fourth quarter
in all four games, so you can see
the small difference between 4-0
and 0-4 in this league,” Gibbs
said. “There’s no way we’re sit
ting here fat and sassy with Dal
las coming to town.
“I think one of the reasons
we’ve won is that our guys have
played extremely hard football,
even when things weren’t going
well. Sunday, our guvi
trying their darnedesl
something going on offei
we just couldn’t. Butevi
else picked up the slad
“We just aren’t good
to win without an all-out
from everyone,” he said,
what we've gotten throui
games, and I feel like we
tinue to get it.”
Gibbs emphasized,
that he wasn’t putting dot
Redskins’ abilities. .
“You look at the
though, and you seeana*!
of Pro Bowl names on
roster,” Gibbs said. “We
have that. Most of our
too young to have gain)
