Nebraska, which continued to roll with an 84-13 whipping of Minnesota, retained its top spot in balloting done by the UPI Board of Coaches, but the rat es were thoroughly shuffled below. No. 2 Texas and No. 3 Ohio State both scored impressive vic tories over highly-rated oppo- otball Walton and me of touch d yesterday, off as the 1 ' rapidly nents to move up and North Carolina jumped four places into fourth after its third straight win. The next four teams — No. 5 Alabama, No. 6 Iowa, No. 7 Washington and No. 8 West Vir ginia, all ascended at least six places after victories. No. 9 Pitt sburgh moved up four places even though it was idle, while Oklahoma tumbled from second to 10th after losing to Ohio State.

Kramer tore the inside ligaments in his right knee Sunday in Minnesota’s 19-16 overtime victory over Tampa Bay and underwent surgery Monday. Oiler executive vice presi dent and general manager Ladd K. Herzeg said quarter back Gifford Nielson and tight end Chris Dressel will step into the starting slots left by Manning and Casper. “This trade is following the Oilers’ desire to build a cham pionship football team through the draft. While the terms will not be disclosed, I can say the Oilers had to assume a significant portion of both players’ 1983, 1984 and 1985 contracts.” Oilers head coach Ed Biles said the trade will help the Oil ers both in the long run and immediately. “The draft choices will help us continue the building pro cess we have established. At the same time, it allows for the continued development of both rookie tight ends Chris Dressel and Mike McCloskey. These 1983 draft choices have shown outstanding progress thus far in their careers. It will also allow second year quar terback Oliver Luck some potential playing time.” Although Minnesota Coach Bud Grant named Steve Oils as the No. 1 quarterback to replace Kramer, the Vikings did express interest in finding someone else to call the plays as an insurance measure. Minnesota has also been be set with injuries at tight end, losing All Pro Joe Senser to a knee injury. Senser under went surgery Aug. 1 and was expected to miss at least the first four regular season games. Backup Bob Bruer was hobbled with ankle injuries at the start of the season and second-year tight end Steve Jordan has also been slowed by a knee injury. “They’re both established players,” Grant said Tuesday of Manning and Casper. “We feel we’re in contention for a championship in our division. “We’ve had injury prob lems at tight end and now we have them at quarterback so we went for the best that was available,” he said. “I’m sure both will fit into our system.” heartbreak IMPULSE Roses - Pink Dozen een 3 and 8 p.fi' Dorm Room 304 DSE CO. in advance 0 & 10:00 p.m. hev Last!!! ^ OKLAHOMA ' STATE 3ROUNC lent •ECIAL 9LOAI Fresh Daily Bakery INTERNATIONAL HOUSE RESTAURANT * Children Under 12 Eat FREE From Kiddie Menu!

Texas was also impressive while shutting off a strong Au burn running game in the Lon ghorns’ opener. Coach Fred Ak ers’ squad dominated both the offensive and defensive lines en route to a 20-7 victory. “Our biggest plus was the aggressiveness and effort we had,” Akers said of the win. “We made several mistakes, but our efforts covered up many of those errors.” As for the Longhorns’ nation al rankings, Akers said, “We want to do as well as we can. But we’re more concerned about how we play than how we’re ranked, and we’re pleased with how we play.” The Longhorns host North Texas State Saturday. Washington made the biggest upward jump in the ratings, gaining nine places after a 25-24 win over Michigan. Iowa top pled defending national cham pion Penn State, West Virginia knocked off Maryland and Ala bama routed Mississippi to each jump six spots. Notre Dame fell 11 places af ter being upset by Michigan State, Auburn tumbled 10 spots after falling to Texas and Michi gan slipped seven notches fol lowing the loss to Washington. Ohio State doesn’t even get a breather after its win in Oklaho ma, since the Buckeyes face Big Ten rival Iowa on the road Saturday. Among rebounding powers, Oklahoma hosts Tulsa, Georgia hosts South Carolina, Auburn visits Tennessee, Notre Dame travels to Miami of Florida, Michigan visits Wisconsin and Arizona State hosts Wichita State. Georgia dropped four spots after tying Clemson last week while Arizona State held its ground after a tie against Pac-10 rival UCLA. Arkansas, after winning its second straight, and Michigan State cracked the Top 20 for the first time this season. The Spar tans become the fourth ranked team from the Big Ten after a 2-0 start under first-year coach George Perles. Florida State and Maryland dropped out of the ratings. The Seminoles were upset by Tulane, while the Terrapins bowed to West Virginia. Donley sub upset Johnson United Press International DALLAS — The Dallas Cow boys’ No. 1 showman is in a de pressed state these days, and to facilitate his attempts to get out of it, coach Tom Landry made a rare concession earlier this week. Landry gave Butch John son a day off. Johnson, who is in his eighth year of playing backup wide re ceiver for the Cowboys, has spoken loud and often about the fact he should be starting. To keep himself in the lime light, Johnson has done such things as come up with a unique end zone dance following his occasional touchdowns. But during the offseason Landry banned such antics. Then, when flanker Tony Hill was injured during the Cowboys 28-13 win over the New York Giants last Sunday, it was not Johnson who came in as a replacement. Instead, it was Doug Donley. Landry said Donley was Hill’s backup while Johnson was the backup for Drew Pearson. It did not help Johnson’s disposition that Donley went on to catch six passes during the game. After the game, Landry and Johnson met for 45 minutes and during the session Johnson asked Landry if he could have Monday off to think things through. Landry admitted he would not ordinarily grant such a re quest, but said he did so on this occasion, “to give him the chance to shake it off.” Immigration Law Firm Samuel M. Tidwell & Associates, P.C.
