Moore became the first Tech head football coach ever fired. Jones said he wanted the school to become more prominent in intercol legiate football and said, “I would like to see the university in a consis tent comparative position, one where we would occasionally get into the Cotton Bowl. We are upgrading our schedule with such schools as Ohio State and Nebraska because I feel it is important our athletes com pete against the very best.” Jones said there was no time limit on naming Moore’s successor, but added, “I hope we can accomplish it as soon as possible because of re cruiting.” Speculation about Moore’s succes sor immediately centered on Univer sity of Texas defensive coordinator David McWilliams and Texas Tech defensive coordinator Spike Dykes. Moore held a team meeting at 3:30 p.m. to tell his team, which in cluded his son Chris, a walk-on player. The Red Raiders then imme diately began practice for Saturday’s season finale at the Astrodome. Moore, who was 4-6 at Tech this season and 16-36-2 overall, said, “I don’t know why they couldn’t have waited at least four or five more days before making the announcement. This is a very tough thing on the coaches involved and the families. My main concern right now is for my staff and their families.” Moore, 46, has two ye^rs left on his contract at $56,000 per season and said he hoped an agreement could be reached. He told the AP that he was asked to resign but refused. “I refused because there was a matter of pride involved and be cause I had put in five hard years here trying to make this school into a football contender,” Moore said. “What was I going to do, say that I resigned for the good of the school?” Texas Tech has not had a winning season since 1978, and under Moore never defeated a Top Twenty team. However, the Red Raiders were snake-bit this season, losing five games by four points or less, includ ing two by scnool-record 57-yard field goals from the opposition. “We didn’t have a whole lot of luck, but I’m not blaming that for what happened,” said Moore. He said his successor will inherit a talent-laden team. “Whoever comes in here is going to enjoy it because they will be work ing with a great bunch of kids,” he said. “It’s not inconceivable it could be another Baylor or a 1984 TCU team right here next year.” Moore said he had to leave to go tell his players and added, “I’ve got a lump in my throat and a big knot in my stomach.” Veteran Texas Tech basketball coach Gerald Myers, who took his team to last year’s SWC basketball ti tle, just shook his head and said, “This is a real sad deal. He is proba bly the unluckiest guy in the world. He’s done a great job and the people out here really liked him but he just didn’t get those W’s.” Moore, who came to Texas Tech after an 11-11 record at North Texas State, is the Red Raiders’ 10th coach and had seasons of 1-9-1, 4-7, 3-7-1, and 4-7 before this year. Tech is 4-6 and 1-6 in SWC playing going into the Houston game. Tech started off with three victo ries but suffered successive SWC losses to Baylor, Texas A&M, Ar kansas and Rice. The lowly Owls’ 29- 27 victory on a 57-yard field goal started rumors flying that Moore was under fire by Texas Tech’s ad ministrators. Moore had said before the season started “We have many things going for us right now. We have one of the most knowledgable coaching staffs anywhere and we’ve recruited well.” TANK M C NAMAKA by Jeff Millar & Bill Hinds highly placepcia officials SAY Tt4AT THE KGB SPORTS COMMISSAR PCFECTtP ToTHC US. 66CAUSE OP GAMBLIK1& P6BTS. Upsets thrust Aggies into AP’s No. 19 spot Associated Press After posting two straight upsets of Top Twenty teams, Texas A&M finally climbed into The Associated Press Poll. With a 7-2 record, the Ag gies reached the No. 19 spot in the poll. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh’s record wasn’t worthy of even one vote. But the Panthers hold a key to a possible national championship showdown in the Orange Bowl — and perhaps a bowl appearance of their own. The 5-4-1 Panthers haven’t been close to a berth in the Top Twenty since the opening weeks of the 1984 college football season. They get a close-up look at No. 1 Saturday when they entertain Penn State, with the Nittany Lions hoping to remain atop the rankings for a third consec utive week. If Penn State, 10-0, can do it, and if No. 2 Nebraska can beat fifth- ranked Oklahoma at Norman, Okla., the Lions and Cornhuskers are virtually certain to meet in Mi ami with the national championship at stake. For Pitt, the incentive to win —be- Nittany Lions, after pounding Notre sides beating its cross-state rival —is Dame 36-6 last Saturday in what was a possible bowl berth of its own.

The two remaining first-place bal lots went to Oklahoma, which moved from seventh to fifth with 992jx)ints following a 31-0 shellacking of Colo rado. Michigan, with 923 points, also moved up two places, to sixth, fol lowing a 48-7 trouncing of Minne sota. Rounding out the Top Ten were Oklahoma State, up from 10th to seventh following a 21-19 victory over Missouri; UCLA, up five rungs to eighth after blanking Oregon State 41-0; Florida, up two spots to ninth by virtue of its 15-13 victory over Kentucky, and Auburn, up to 10th from 14th following its 24-10 triumph over Georgia. All of that moving up was due in part to losses by Ohio State and Air Force, ranked third and fourth, re spectively, a week ago. Ohio State was beaten 12-7 by Wisconsin and Air Force lost 28-21 to Brigham Young, and each fell out of the Top Ten — the Buckeyes to 12th and tne Falcons to 13th. Arkan sas, a 10-6 loser to Texas A&M, plunged from ninth place to 18th. In the Second Ten were Brigham Young, Ohio State, Air Force, Flor ida State, Baylor, Tennessee, LSU, Arkansas, Texas A&M and Georgia.
