'We have worked extremely hard at cut
ting down mistakes — not beating
ourselves. It will be interesting to see if
we can practice what we preach, ’ —
TCU coach Jim Wacker on the Horned
Frogs’ opening game Saturday against
Kansas.
after time, Wacker has said he
doesn’t believe in “rebuilding”
and he expects to he successful
sooner than most people expect —
like now.
“I’m anxious. Boy, am I an
xious, Wacker answers. “I can’t
wait to see what kind of football
team we’re going to have and how
some of these young athletes are
going to react under pressure.”
Obviously, confidence isn’t a
problem for the 46-year-old
Wacker. But even he knows
optimism alone doesn’t win foot
ball games.
’Tve said all along that in order
for us to win, our outstanding
athletes will have to provide us
outstanding play,” Wacker said
recently. “Generally, speaking,
your average players will play up
to their potential, but you need
great plays from the great players
to win. ”
Some of the Horned Frog play
ers Wacker will be counting on to
carry TCU’s fortunes this year are
linebacker Kyle Clifton, running-
hack Kenneth Davis, offensive
guard Elton Baptiste and wide re
ceiver James Maness.
TCU’s first chance to showcase
itself will be Saturday when the
Frogs host Kansas in Wacker’s
first game as TCU head coach.

rate’joke between an artist and a
Otal.shopkeeper has turned Bill
Harris into the “Sea Cull Poop
(ing of Boothbay Harbor.”
About 1,50() bags of ersatz
Freeze-Dried Sea Gull Poop”
lave been sold in the 12 months
since Harris put his first scoop-
’iilintoa plastic bag and stapled
on a label. In fact, the stuff is
powdered milk.
Hie business began during a
conversation with a shopkeeper
friend of his who was amazed at
the things people would buy.
As a joke, Harris took his
friend up on the challenge and
rushed home to his kitchen cup
board. It took him only a few
minutes to draw the label: a smil
ing gull and the words “Freeze-
Dried Sea Gull Poop from the
Coast of Maine! Add water and
stir, great with blueberries.”
On the reverse it read, “A
‘Natural’ Product, Boothbay
Harbor, Me.”
Texas. No-sir-ee, Bob, as they say
in Lubbock. This team could be
good.
Ted Turner thought so too. At
least. Turner’s network — Atlanta
superstation WTBS — thought so.
Network biggies picked the Red
Raider/Falcon game as the open
ing game of their ’83 broadcast
season. These same guys picked
Boston College/Texas A&M to be
gin last seasons programming.
See a trend anywhere?
Before you jump to the conclu
sion that Turner’s staff is made up
of calculator-belted nerds who
have only seen football as played
on Intellivision game cartridges,
think again. Tech vs. Air Force
might he a good game.
The Red Raiders, though they
won’t compete for the Cotton
Bowl berth, should be improved.
How much is hard to say. Air
Force, on the other hand, is a defi
nite threat this season. The Fal
cons were 8-5 last year, and have
51 lettermen returning.
Game experience, too. A
pounding running attack (they use
a variation of the wishbone)
accounted for 397 yards last week
in their opener against Colorado
State.
Problem is, selecting, promot
ing and preparing for the game
won’t happen. At least not on
WTBS.
ABC announced this week it
would exercise its option to carry
the game, after both schools had
agreed to switch the starting time
to Saturday evening. WTBS even
went to the trouble of hiring a
portable lighting company to in
stall temporary lights at Falcon
Stadium, which has none.
Hello, afternoon. Goodbye,
nighttime.
Hello, ABC. Goodbye, WTBS.
One would be hard-pressed to
find a more perfect example of
how television rules college athle
tics. Say the word, and the col
leges move. Juggled times,
jumped networks and total confu
sion are becoming the norm. The
fact that Tech and Air Force had
no real say in when they would
play and who would televise them
doesn’t speak well for either the
schools, the NCAA or the net
works. It certainly doesn t show
any concern for the fans.
And when it gets right down to
it, the fans (and the folks at TV
Guide) are the only ones incon
venienced. Tech and Air Force
still play on television, ABC
squeezes out WT BS, airs a game
that could be be halfway interest
ing, and WTBS finds two substi
tutes.
Network roulette. Much more
interesting than clipping your
toenails, and a whole lot more fun.
Saturdays on ABC, anyway.
Jim Wacker said TCU linebacker Kyle Clifton
will be a key player for the Frogs in 1983.
Miami tests Coogs
United Press International
Not too many weeks ago, Baylor
coach Grant Teaff was giving his
sizeup of the Southwest Confer
ence race and after giving most of
the teams in the league a once
over he paused and said:
“You might ought to watch out
for the Houston Cougars. It’s not
often Bill Yeoman has trouble two
years in a row.”
Teaff appeared to be right on
target because a few days later
Houston pommeled the Rice
Owls, 45-14, running up 333
ground yards and 464 yards
overall.
This week, the Cougars will get
another test from the Miami Hur
ricane and Yeoman said he’s well
aware that it could be a stiffer chal
lenge.
“We can’t kid ourselves,” said
Yeoman, whose team suffered
through a comparatively poor 5-5-
1 season last year. “Miami is going
to come in here and he tougher
than a hoot. But I think we have a
chance to be competitive.”
Last year, the Hurricane whip
ped Houston 31-12 in the season
opener for both teams so Yeoman
hopes to avenge that disappoint-
ing loss.
