The high-riding Mustangs reached No. 2 in The Associated Press poll Tuesday — the highest ranking ever by the Southwest Con ference team. “It’s nice for our program to be recognized as among the elite in the country,” said SMU Coach Dave Bliss. “1 wasn’t sure we deserved to be there (in the Top Ten) earlier this season. “Our bench has given us a lift re cently. We’ve developed some qual ity depth. We have some players we can go to now and be confident when we do it,” he said. Sophomore reserves Terry Wil liams and Johnny Fuller haven’t re ceived the acclaim of Jon Koncak and Carl Wright. But they’ve pro vided the critical depth and balance needed by a team with national championship hopes. Williams, a 6-foot-9 bruiser from Newburgh, N.Y., has averaged al most 10 points and 4 rebounds per game as a reserve. He’s shooting 65 percent from the field. Williams is the first one off the bench for the seven-foot center Kon cak and power foward Larry Davis. “Terry has improved so much since his freshman year,” Bliss said. “He wasn't sure then whether he wanted to work hard enough to be a player. “He dropped 20 pounds in the off-season and was dedicated enough to work hard every day dur ing the summer. And now we feel confident with him no matter the sit uation.” Williams hit two critical free throws late in SMU’s 84-82 victory over North Carolina. Fuller, a 6-foot-1 guard from Wilmer-Hutchins, is called upon to g ive Wright and Butch Moore reathers. Bliss also loves Fuller’s de fense. He has 16 steals.

Fuller made two steals and contributed five points in a 60-second span during SMU’s 74- 70 victory over Texas Christian last Saturday. “Fuller played a great game,” Bliss said, “but he’s been playing a big part in a lot of ball games for us la tely coming off the bench. Fuller is an important player for us now. He is one of our top players. We need to have someone like him as our de fensive stopper.” Williams almost quit the teamlt year, but thought better of it; chat with Bliss. “Terry was a long way frond and just having trouble adjusiin^ a freshman,” he said. “Here his time will come as a starter, have two years in there." . ; old Ful Although Bliss said “rankingsa nice," he quickly pointed out “the only one that counts is the Fid Four (NCAA playoff) results." Pro Bowl: a Super Bowl rerun Associated Press HONOLULU — The San Fran cisco 49ers and the Miami Dolphins get another shot at each other Sun day. That’s right. Dan Marino gets an other shot at Joe Montana and the 49ers’ secondary that stymied him in Super Bowl XIX. Ten 49ers and seven Dolphins who will participate in Sunday’s Pro Bowl arrived Monday, a day after San Francisco’s 38-16 Super Bowl win, then went through loosening up exercises and a photo session. But the intensity preceding the National Football League’s annual postseason all-star game will be nothing like what the players went through a week ago preparing for the Super Bowl. “You have to try to shut out all the outside influences on your concen tration before the Super Bowl,” said 49ers’ guard Randy Cross. The American and National con ference squads of 41 each will have workouts of about 1 ‘/a hours each morning under coaches Mike Ditka of the Chicago Bears and Chuck Noll of the Pittsburgh Steelers — the coaching staffs of the losers in the two conference title games are the coaches for the Pro Bowl game. Relaxation also is the way the Dol phins and the 49ers, inducting Mon tana amd Marino, are taking the re newal of their rivalry. In the minds of the 49ers, Montana’s master] performance in the Super Bo earned him the title of the NFL’sli quarterback over Marino, despi Marino’s record-shattering touchdown passes and 5,084 yan during the regular season. One incentive the two teatns have in Sunday’s game is money the winners get $10,000, the lose $5,000. Another is the AFC-NFC valry, although that has wanedsim the early 197()s, the first days ofll NFL’s merger with the old Ameria Football League. Since that merger, the NFC hi won nine games, the AFC five eluding three of the four playt here. Here’s one college credit you’ll use long after graduation Really, it's simple economics.
