Snively and Alvin Robertson each scored 14 points, while the steady play of Darrell Walker brought him 15 points. TCU was paced by Darrell Browder with 12 and Doug Arnold with 11. “We had few turnovers (11), rebounded well and played sound defense,” Sutton said. “If we play like we did tonight, we can beat a lot of teams around the country. TCLI has good ta lent. They’re as good as anyone we’ve played. We wore them down a little at the end and that’s why the final margin was 1.4 points.” TCU, which lost by three points at home to Houston last week, is 3-2 in league play and 12-4 overall. And after it was over, Frogs coach Jim Killing- sworth said he would not com pare the Hogs and Cougars. “Whichever one plays their game will win,” he said. In Austin, two teams without a conference victory struggled through a poor-shooting night with Texas holding a mere 21- 18 halftime lead. A tip-in by the Longhorns’ Carlton Cooper with 30 seconds to go put Texas in front by five.

PBS telecast didn’t prove its ‘findings’ on at the end for the one-point victory. Starting guard Jack Worth ington left the Texas squad over the weekend and the Longhorns were forced to start two fresh men. In addition, coach Bob Weltlich put a player into the game — David Willett — who had never scored a point as a collegian despite the fact that he’s a junior. Willett had tried to make the team as a walk-on two years ago and failed. This year, however, he made the roster and scored four points Wednesday night. Two of them were critical free throws with 44 seconds re maining. Rice now has undisputed pos session of the SWC cellar with an 0-5 conference mark, both the Owls and Longhorns are 6-9 for the year. The next action in the confer ence does not come until Satur day when, in addition to the Houston-Arkansas game, Baylor will visit TCU, Texas Tech w ill host Rice and SMU will go to Texas A&M.

They never take sides — they let you do that. But they take a lot of abuse and ignore it. They’re honest. When’s the last time you ever heard any of them not paying off 100 cents on the dollar? And they generally call ‘em as they see ‘em, too. You should hear what a bookie calls you if you habitually do business with him. You know what he says you are? A degen erate. But he doesn’t say that to your face because he has a nice, quiet respect for your cash and would like to see it keep flowing in his direction. One of the more widely accepted fallacies about bookies is that they never lose. That’s not true. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they even have to go to the loan company to borrow money so they can pay you. They always pay. They have to or they’re out of business. Another fallacy about them is that they have no souls. They do. They even pray, and do you know what they pray for most? An honest game. Mention the word “fix” to a bookmaker, let him hear any kind of rumble about some play ers trying to do “business” in a particular game, and it’s like driving a stake through his heart. He’s the one with the most to lose if a game is fixed. I didn’t bother taking a poll of how many bookmakers watched Monday night’s Public Broadcasting Service telecast, the one called “An Unautho rized History of the NFL,” but they must have doubled up laughing over the production. The telecast was supposed to have documented a number of NFL games that were fixed be tween 1968 and 1970, but it didn’t. Nor did it offer any con clusive new evidence or proof that Carroll Rosenbloom, the former owner of the Los Angeles Rams who drowned off the coast of Florida in 1979, might have been murdered by elements of organized crime be cause of his gambling connec tions. The PBS show was the first in a series called “Front Line.” It promised startling revelations and then, disappointingly, did not provide so much as one. The consensus among the people I talked to who watched the telecast was, it was “shallow” and “unconvincing.” According to David Fanning, executive producer of the show, it was meant to be “a commit ment to good journalism and fairness,” but I don’t call it good journalism or fairness when charges are made by a paid in former and aren’t supported. That’s sounds more like yellow journalism to me. Where were all the names and dates? Nowhere that I could see. If you went into court with a case like that, it would be thrown out in no time. Nobody is more opposed to gambling on NFL games than Pete Rozelle. He realizes, however, that gambling is a fact of life and no matter how much he and his security force do to prevent it within the league, there’s nothing he can possibly do to stop it outside. Rozelle said: “The telecast claimed $25 billion is bet on our games. That shows how much confidence the public has in the games. The bookies, too. Do you think they’d handle the games if they felt there was something wrong with them? “When they put out a line each week on every game and make minimal changes, up or down as little as a half-point, and depend on the player injury re ports they get from us, doesn’t that indicate how much faith they have in us?” Yeah, Pete, and you know how those bookies are. The only one some of them trust is God. Everyone else has to bring cash. MIMM. WM-D Talk of the town. Come in and see our selection of loveable pets, fish, and sup plies.
