Lobos 'amaze' coach
with fourth straight win
United Press International
Among the pressing concerns of
college football coaches, Joe Lee
Dunn’s probably don’t rank very
high at the moment.
Dunn, whose New Mexico squad
collected its fourth win Saturday in
as many starts this year, complained
that the Lobos “still don’t have the
consistency we need.”
“We played good in spurts,” he
said following the Lobos’ 34-7 win at
Texas-EI Paso in New Mexico’s
Western Athletic Conference
opener. The defense, he said,
“played pretty good, but we’re still
making mistakes.”
“I’m amazed how we can win ev
ery week and still be disappointed in
certain aspects of our play,” he said.
Watching the Lobos stretch their
winning streak to a school-record
seven games, and keeping an eye on
the scoreboard, one would have sup
posed Dunn had precious little to
worry about.
New Mexico’s William Turral ran
for two touchdowns and Ken White-
head caught passes for two more to
beat Texas-EI Paso, now 0-2 in the
WAG and 1-3 overall. With the win,
New Mexico joined Wyoming and
Brigham Young as the league’s only
undefeated teams. Texas-EI Paso re
mained in the WAC cellar.
Brigham Young, 1-0 in the league
and 4-0 on the year, was idle during
the weekend. Wyoming defeated vis
iting Utah 21-14 to improve its con
ference mark to 2-0. The Cowboys
are 3-2 overall.
Free safety Pete Benedetti saved
the day for Wyoming, intercepting
an errant Utah pitchout at the
Wyoming 2 and running it back 98
yards for a touchdown to break a 14-
14 tie, with just 2:17 left to play.
Utah dropped to 2-3 on the season
and 1-1 in the WAC, tied for fourth
in league standings. The Utes pre
viously were undefeated in confer
ence play.
“I think its the best win we’ve had
since I've been here, ” said Wyoming
coach A1 Kincaid. “Somehow, some
way, we found a way to (win).
“Defensively, we had two missed
assignments in the second quarter
and they went 67 yards for a score,”
he ^aid. “After that, they only scored
one touchdown.”
“We had a chance, even at the
end,” said Utah coach Chuck Sto-
bart. “We made some good plays in
the game, and some that came up
short.”
Air Force pounded visiting Colo
rado State 52-10 in another WAC
game, moving from fifth place in the
league into a tie for fourth. The
Rams, tied for first last week, moved
into fourth place with Air Force and
Utah.
Backup quarterback Bart Weiss
guided Air Force to a 24-0 halftime
lead in Saturday’s game and running
back Jody Simmons scrambled for
two touchdowns to crush the error-
prone Rams, who committed five
first-half turnovers. Seventeen of
Air Force’s first-half points were the
result of Ram miscues.
“First of all. I’d like to compliment
Air Force,” said CSU coach Leon
Fuller, who suffered his worst defeat
since taking the job three years ago.
“As far as our players,” Fuller
said, “I guess this is the most embar
rassing situation I can recall as far as
our football team is concerned.”
The win lifted Air Force to 2-2 in
the league and 3-2 overall, while the
Rams fell to 1-1 in conference play
and 1-3 on the year.
Hawaii downed Nevada-Las Ve
gas 16-12 in a non-conference game.
Richard Spelman booted three field
goals, Raphel Cherry ran 3 yards for
a touchdown and defensive back
Kurt Kafentzis intercepted two
passes in Hawaii territory to pace the
Rainbows.
The win was the first of the season
for Hawaii after three straight de
feats. The Rainbows are 0-2 in
league play.
San Diego State was idle during
the weekend.

Oklahoma State
lives on Tulsa time
United Press International
TULSA, Okla. — Victory has
been determined or preserved in the
dosing minutes in recent Oklahoma
State-Tulsa games, but the 11th-
ranked Cowboys abandoned that
strategy Saturday night and chose
instead to dominate f rom the begin
ning.
The first touchdown was scored
just five minutes into the game when
quarterback Rusty Hilger threw to
Thurman Thomas, who in turn
passed to Jamie Harris in the end
zone.
Tailback Shawn Jones scored a
pair of touchdowns, on an 18-yard
run in the first quarter and a 5-yard
run in the fourth period, and later
received the game ball from coach
Pat Jones.
Thomas scored on a 2-yard
plunge in the second quarter to give
the Cowboys a 21-0 halftime lead
and Larry Roach kicked a 39-yard
field goal in the final period.
“I’m very proud of this squad,”
Jones said. “Tulsa has a fine football
team and 31-7 is a sound whipping. I
gave the game ball to Shawn because
he took a lot of abuse last week — a
lot of it from me — but he played
awfully hard and awfully well.”
Tulsa Coach John Cooper, who
has coached six straight winning sea
sons and earned four consecutive
Missouri Valley Conference cham
pionships, was “not happy at all”
with the way his team played.
“We did not execute well offen
sively or defensively,” Cooper said.
“Offensively we thought we could go
wide on them, but our bad plays
killed us. We’re not doing the basics.
We’ll have to work hard on those.”
Tulsa’s only touchdown came in
the third quarter, on a 1-yard plunge
by Gordon Brown to cap a 12-play
drive that covered 66 yards.
Oklahoma State puts its 4-0 re
cord on the line this week against the
Nebraska Cornhuskers, who were
upset 19-7 by unheralded Syracuse
Saturday, while Tulsa returns to
conference action playing West
Texas State.
Cooper has managed to retain his
optimism despite losing three in a
row to non-conference opponents
after defeating defendint NCAA 1-
AA champion Southern Illinois.
“We’ve had a slow start, but we
will bounce back,” he said. “No
doubt about it.”

WICHITA, Kan. — Fourteen
years ago, the Wichita State football
team was similar to the one of today,
struggling for recognition and victo
ries.
On Oct. 2, 1970, the attention fi
nally came, but for the wrong rea
son. And today former player Randy
Jackson remembers vividly how an
airplane carrying the Shocker foot
ball team slammed into the side of a
mountain near Silver Plume, Colo.,
killing 31 players, coaches, fans and
school officials. Fourteen of the
players killed were on the first team
offensive or defensive units.
The deaths shocked the nation’s
athletic world, but the Wichita State
program didn’t fold. After losing its
first three games of the 1970 season
and coach Bob Wilson in the crash,
Wichita began what was called its
second season under Bob Seaman,
Wilson’s assistant.
With mostly underclassmen play
ing, the Shockers finished the season
with an 0-9 record.
“I can remember it like it was yes
terday,” said Jackson, then a star
running back and now a junior high
school coach in Wichita. “Don’t ask
me why, but it all seems so fresh in
my mind.”
It was only by a stroke of luck that
Jackson and seven others survived
the crash. A second plane carrying
WSU players and followers arrived
safely in Logan, Utah, where Wi
chita was scheduled to play Utah
State.
“All we could do when the plane
went down was hold on,” said Jack-
son. “I knew there was nothing I
could do. After we hit the ground,
all I remember is how the plane
looked like an old building full of
cobwebs. I knew I had to get out of
there.”
Jackson said he slowly pulled him
self through an opening in the rear
of the plane and huddled with other
survivors. With teammates crying
for help, Jackson said, it was agreed
the survivors should go for help.
“It’s a sick feeling to leave friends
dying, but we knew there was fire
and fuel around. As we made our
way down the mountain, we heard a
couple of explosions. There was
nothing we could do because no one
was around. It was a remote area.”
“I think more about what hap
pened when the date it happened on
comes around,” said George Whit
field, who was on the second plane.
“It was really a sad thing. It scares
me even now because I could have
easily been on the plane that
crashed.”
It was a team policy then that first
team players travel on one plane and
others on a second aircraft.
Whitfield was a first-team player,
but because teammate Keith Morri
son was a senior, that took prece
dence.
“I was lucky, real lucky,” said
Whitfield.
