Intramu- )vide official sh their own SWC roundup Horns ‘back on track’ after romping Owls United Press International It remains to be seen how far the tracks might take the Texas Longhorns this year, Hit at least they are back on pern. J So are the Baylor Bears and Arkansas Razorbacks, although their destination night eventually be somewhat lifferent than that of Texas. But the Texas A&M Aggies md Houston Cougars seem to le going nowhere. The first full weekend of Southwest Conference action reduced some large num- lersand one mildly surprising esult, but of prime import- mce was the play of the Lon- jhorns — who bounced back rom a lackluster showing gainst North Texas to throt tle the Rice Owls, 42-6. With a huge crowd on land celebrating the 100th nniversary of the University ofTexas, the Longhorns gave folks a little glimpse of fresh- ian Edwin Simmons in adv- mce of this weekend’s show- lown with Oklahoma. Reggie Dupard led SMU’s rushing attack over UTA an t Simmons, the most hotly recruited player in Texas last year, carried the ball only five times, but he gained 109 yards including 76 on a third- quarter touchdown run. “We sure came close to playing two good halves,” said Texas coach Fred Akers. “I hope we learned last week that there are other teams that can play this game. The first con ference victory is always a big one.” The first conference vic tory was certainly a big one for Baylor, and it would have been, too, for A&M and TCU if they could have pulled one off. Baylor took advantage of another night of Houston tur novers to down the Cougars, 42-21; Arkansas played its best game of the season by far in overpowering TCU, 38-21; and a 51-yard field goal in the first half by Ricky Gann stood up to give Texas Tech a 3-0 decision over Texas A&M. Both Houston coach Bill Yeoman and Texas A&M coach Jackie Sherrill changed quarterbacks, but it didn’t help. Houston fumbled five times and A&M could muster just 149 yards total offense. “Doggone it,” said Yeo man, “things like this are going to happen. We played hard, but not real well.” Southern Methodist, un beaten in 20 games and rank ed 12th, had an easy time downing Texas-Arlington, 34-0. SMU ran up some im pressive numbers with fresh man Jeff Atkins and sopho more Reggie Dupard both gaining more than 100 yards on the ground. The Mustangs rushed for 425 yards. All of that left Texas Tech (2-0) on top of the conference race with Texas, Arkansas and SMU (all 1-0) a half step be hind. Everybody else has at least one league setback while TCU and Rice have two. And the current standings make for some interesting matchups next weekend. With Baylor (3-1) on the rebound, the Bears could prove to be an excellent test for SMU (4-0) in Texas Sta dium Saturday night. Astros beat Reds, 3-2; Rangers lose to Angels United Press International HOUSTON — Rookie Jeff Heathcock pitched a four-hitter over eight innings and Craig Reynolds drove in the winning run with a single Sunday night to lead the Houston Astros to a 3-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

The 26-year-old right-hander retired 13 straight batters from the first through the fifth in nings.

Against Midland Lee, it took a host of goal-line stands for the Bobcats to emerge as the district frontrunner. San Angelo drew first blood on the fourth play of the game, with tailback Derrick Campel racing 69 yards for the touch down. Midland Lee then fum bled the ensuing kickoff and the Bobcats cruised in to gain a 14-0 lead with Lee never having snapped the ball. Then, the Bobcat defense took over. “We made the big play defen sively when we had to,” said San Angelo coach Jimmiet Keeling. “We have seven juniors playing on defense, and they are all out standing. There is no one star.” The Bobcat defense stopped Midland Lee three times deep in its own territory and the offense cranked up a long, six-minute drive in the fourth period to pre serve the win. This week, San Angelo faces Permian, 34-14 winners Friday over Abilene, in what may be the biggest game in the state this sea son. Both teams are undefeated. “They have a great team, a great program,” Keeling said. “They’re prepared week after week, season after season. What they’ve accomplished is amazing. “In our league, you’ve got to play it out one Friday at a time, and this Friday, I think it will be a heck of a game.” For the first time this season, Hamlin coach Bill Grissom’s Pied Pipers had to rely on an explosive offense to win. Ham lin dropped a tough Wall team 29-12, as expected. But the points were the only ones Hamlin has given up through five games. Through the same stretch, the Pied Pipers are avering just over 40 points per contest. Hamlin running back Eddie Bolden again proved the key, gaining 217 yards on 25 carries and scoring one touchdown to run his season rushing total to 855 yards. Jose Cruz of Houston, who entered the game with a chance to win the National League bat ting title, went 0-for-4 to finish with a .318 average, seven points behind league leader Bill Mad- lock of Pittsburgh. He tied for the NL lead in hits with Andre Dawson of Montreal with 189.
