The Buffalo Bills would like to get rolling real soon — any week will do. The Bills got their offense and de fense rolling in the second half, but it was too little too late as the Dol phins scored a 21-l7 victory over Buffalo Monday night. Miami, now 3-0 on the season and atop the AFC East Division, got an other stellar performance from sec ond-year quarterback Dan Marino, who threw touchdown passes to Mark Duper, Mark Clayton and Nat Moore to give the Dolphins what ap peared to be an insurmountable 21- 3 lead in the third quarter. But the winless Bills showed some character in battling back, scoring two second half touchdowns in a rally that just fell short. “Buffalo hung in there tough and made some great plays,” said Miami Coach Don Simla. “Clive Buffalo a lot of credit.” Much of the credit for the Bills fine second half showing went to the defense, which intercepted Marino once and forced two Miami f umbles, recovering two. “We’re the type of team, that if we don’t play ^with emotion,” said Bills defensive end Ben Williams, “we’re not going to be any good. We’ve got to stay at an emotional peak.” The Buffalo defense, hobbled by injuries was forced to use Gary Thompson, a second-year man mak ing his first start in the NFL at left cornerback and Donald Wilson, a f ree agent rookie making his second start at free safety. Except for the first half, when the Bills fell behind 14-3, Buffalo played the game with intensity. “Our people came out and played with a great deal of enthusiasm and intensity, which I expected,” said Bills Coach Kay Stephenson. “We made a number of mistakes. You can’t make mistakes and beat the Mi ami Dolphins.” Simla saw some flaws in what ap peared to be a near-perfect perfor mance by Marino, who has thrown 10 touchdown passes in three games this season. “He has to become a little mure awqre of defense, different cover ages,” Simla said of his quarterback, who completed 26 of 35 passes for 206 yards in the game. “And he must get more comfortable with our of fensive philosophy. “With a lot of that,” Simla added, “he’s still in the learning stages.” Dominos Pizza is the number one pizza delivery company in the world.

Switzer’s Sooners wary of a tough Bear defense United Press International NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma Coach Barry Switzer Tuesday gave his team an A-plus for effort in the 42-10 conquest of Pittsburgh, but said Baylor will present a tougher defense for the third-ranked Sooners. “It was a just a great, great effort,” Switzer said at his weekly media lun cheon. “I can’t think of anyone who didn’t give total ef fort in the game.” Switzer quickly turned the conver sation to the Bears, saying, “Baylor will be the best defensive team we have faced so far.” “Basically they have the same de fense as last year,” he said. “They are big, strong people. Their defensive schemes are similar to Texas — they run a 4-3, and play man-to-man in the secondary.” Offensively, Baylor graduated several top players from last year’s Bluebonnet Bowl team to the pro ranks. Nevertheless, Baylor coaches had felt, with the return of co-start ing quarterbacks Cody Carlson and Tom Muecke, the Bears’ offense would m aster more than it did in a 47-13 opening loss to Brigham Young two weeks ago. “Thank God they don’t have the receivers of last year,” Switzer said. “The only difference between their team from last year is that their skill people have graduated.” Regarding his team’s mental out look for Baylor after beating Pitts burgh and vaulting from 12th place to third in the UPI coaches’ ratings, Switzer said, “I talked to the squad a long time after practice about that. We’ve got to be able to handle the past. “Hopefully, we are smart enough to handle it,” he said. “Good teams do.” Switzer said halfback Spencer Tillman, who missed the first two games with an injury, would attempt to practice this week. “We had three doctors meet with Spencer separately, and each of them said it was all a muscle prob lem,” Switzer said. “There was no nerve involvement.” Switzer said Tillman’s status for the Baylor game will depend on how much he is able to practice with the team this week. fhe Oklahoma offense that scored 42 points against Pittsburgh last week is “beat up,” Sooner head coach Barry Switzer said Tuesday. “We are beat up on offense,” Switzer said. “We are practicing the same backfiekl we used in the Pitts burgh game.” That backfield consists of Steve Sewell, Lydell Carr and Patrick Col lins. Running back Spencer Tillman, a starter who missed the first two games, was still being hampered Tuesday by a pulled hamstring. Running back Earl Johnson also missed the second half of the Pitt game with an injury. However, defensive lineman Jeff Tupper and linebacker Paul Mig- liazzo, who both suffered leg inju ries, returned to practice at full speed Tuesday. Tight end Keith Jackson did not practice because of a sore shoulder but he is expected to he well for Sat urday’s game against Baylor. Ag Intramurals are for sports fiends By JOHN MAKELY Reporter Ever dream of being Robin Hood? Or competing in an Oympic wrestling event? The Texas A&M Intramural Sports Department can’t promise to make your fantasy come true, but it will give you a start. Competitive tournaments in a variety of sports are organized every year. All students, staff, faculty and spouses are eligible to participate in intramural activities and, while Uni versity dependents may use the fa cilities, they are ineligible for intra mural competition. Paula Opal, Assistant Director for extramural dubs said the Athletic Department estimates 42,000 player positions are filled by students, staff and faculty members this semester. The majority of these sports fiends are involved in one or more of the 44 different intramural sports of fered. To sign up, one can either form a team or go by the Athletic Depart ment’s team locator service in the In tramural Office in 159 East Kyle. This service assists individuals in finding other people interested in forming a team or filling empty spots on already formed teams. Participants may check out bats, balls, horseshoes and other sports equipment at the checkout windows in East Kyle or DeWare Field House with a student identification card. The Extramural level of competi tion offers athletes stiffer competi tion. Thirty-one teams make up the Ex tramural Club level. Clubs at this level must be of a competitive nature to the extent that they can compete with other universities. Clubs are partially funded by student fees al- loted from student government, hut the clubs receive the bulk of their money through fund raisers, Opal said. Most clubs must compete with other teams in that particular sport to continue to receive funds from student government, while teams like badminton and judo don’t em phasize competition. Opal said. They primarily teach classes.
