Alabama, which had led most of the way before falling behind on a blocked punt with 50 seconds left, had no timeouts when it started a 70- yard drive. Shula, son of Miami Dolphins Coach Don Shula, connected with Greg Richarson for 16 yards, Bell for 26 and Richardson again for 12, before finding Bell alone at the Georgia 3 on the 17-yard scoring play. Bell, a junior college transfer, also caught a 16-yard TD ula pass from Shula in the second quarter. Freshman Terri Webster blocked a punt in the final minute and junior Calvin Ruff pounced on it for a touchdown to give Georgia a 16-13 lead. The Bulldogs had closed to within 13-9 with 4:21 to play on freshman Wayne Johnson’s 11-yard scroring strike. Alabama’s vaunted defense, fea turing nine returning starters from last year and led by the play of line backer Cornelius Bennett, clamped a stranglehold on Georgia’s offense most of the game.

FREEMAN A P Sports Writer IRVING — The easiest thing in the world besides becoming addicted to homemade vanilla ice cream is spending somebody else’s money. That’s why the phrase “put your money where your mouth is” was coined. So the following advice will come sans the greenbacks to put the plan into action: Dome Texas Stadium! Do it now before the Texas heat sidelines a player or hospitalizes a fan. Former Dallas Cowboys owner Clint Murchison’s idea for Texas Stadium was a noble one. He wanted the fans to be pro tected from the elements of sun and rain, yet keep the feeling of a sport that was meant to be played outside, so the concept of the unique hole-in- the-roof went on the architect’s drawing boards back in the early 1970s. The field was left unprotected from the elements. On sunny days, shadows made life difficult for wide receivers. Television camera crews have yet to invent a filter to handle the problem. On 100-degree days in August and September, heat baking the arti ficial surface made the floor a frying pan felt through rubber-soled shoes. It was tough enough on the fans, although on exceptionally windy days there was some circulation be tween the rim of the roof and the stands. Now that’s gone. Construction of some 90 crown suites between the upper deck of seats and the roof has turned Texas Stadium into a microwave oven. There are 160 new blowers under the suites and if you’re in front of one of them, it’s fine. However, most fans aren’t that lucky. On Saturday night, it was 95 offi cial degrees at kickoff but more like 115 degrees at field level. And no wind. Take the comment of Mrs. Debbie Baker of Fort Worth. She told a re porter for the Dallas Morning News: “It’s tremendously hotter. They should air-condition the stadium.” Another fan begged to be sprayed by a sprinkler system, and others dressea like they were at the beach. It still didn’t help. Mike Freeman of GbrlAnd, Texas, wore his tennis outfit to the game. He was in the lower section. After three hours, he was soaked with sweat. “Hot, it was darned hot,” he said. “Will Bum close this thing in some day, do you think?” New majority Cowboys’ owner H.R. “Bum” Bright has made some big improvements in the stadium in his one year on the job. T he double Diamond Vision tele vision screens installed for this year are one-of-a-kind in the National Football League. Fans enjoyed them immensely Saturday night as the Cowboys whipped the Houston Oil ers 20-10 in an exhibition game. But the only relief the fans got from the heat was “the wAve.” “That was a blessing when we started doing the ‘wave,’” said Free man. “It got the wind stirred up.” Of course, it would take millions of dollars to dome the top of Texas Stadium. And once domed, the daily air-conditioning bill would be ex pensive. I believe the last daily air- conditioning bill I heard was $55,000 a day in the Astrodome to keep it at a constant 72 degrees. I’d like to see Bright go ahead and spend the money for i pop top dome. However, I’ve only got about a sawbuck I can free right now to help him on the project.
