Only college football’s bowl com mittees, few of which trust each other, could accept a system in which the RSVP’s precede the official invi tations. The Orange Bowl, drooling in an- ticipation over a national championship shootout, must wait a week to learn whether Oklahoma or Nebraska will be the host team. But UCLA can clinch the Pac-10 crown and a Rose Bowl berth if its beats Washington and Southern Cal loses to or ties Arizona. Michigan State will be the Big Ten champ and the visiting team if it defeats In diana. Although Auburn leads the wacky Southeastern Conference, the Ti gers will be eliminated if they lose to Georgia, which would clinch at least a tie. LSU also could tie by defeating Mississippi State and Alabama can do likewise if it beats Auburn on Nov. 27. The SEC champ goes to the Sugar Bowl. Arkansas can earn at least a tie in the slow-motion Southwest Confer ence Cotton Bowl chase by defeating Texas A&M, but the Aggies and Texas, which beat Arkansas, each have two league games remaining. Fifth-ranked UCLA is a Mid point favorite at home over Wash ington, but Coach Terry Donahue points out that the Huskies “are going to get a bowl bid if they beat UCLA; they might get one if they don’t.” UCLA is banged up so make this Washington 27-24. No. 13 Michigan State, riding a six-game unbeaten streak, is an eight-point favorite at home over No. 16 Indiana. The Spartans haven’t been to the Rose Bowl since 1965, the Hoosiers since 1967. MSU Coach George Per- les says, “This state is used to having showdowns for championships at the end of the year (Michigan-Ohio State). This year it comes a week early. Instead of being in Ann Ar bor, it’s in East Lansing.” The pick is: Michigan State 24-20. No. 20 Arkansas at No. 19 Texas A&M (by 6): Texas A&M 28-20. No. 11 Alabama at No. 7 Notre Dame (favored by 7): Notre Dame 21-20. No. 12 Auburn at No. 8 Georgia (by 1): Georgia 21-17. Missouri at No. 1 Oklahoma (by 34): Oklahoma 31-6.

(AP) — Hers- chel Walker wants to run, not get the runaround. Upset about being used as a wide receiver and uncertain of his role with the Dallas Cowboys, he said Wednesday he might be better off with another National Football League team. “I think what is so frustrating about it is I don’t know my role,” Walker said. “It’s very hard for me to prepare for a team when I don’t know what I’m going to be playing.” The Dallas running back spoke on a telephone hookup with New En gland writers. The Cowboys visit the Patriots Sunday. In last Sunday’s 27-17 loss to De troit, Walker ran 13 times for 65 yards. He also played wide receiver and caught five passes for 55 yards. He was on the field for every Dallas offensive play. In Dallas’ five games this season with regular players. Walker has been the Cowboys' leading rusher in four of them and top receiver in three. He is sixth in the NFC in re ceptions and 13th in rushing. But Walker, who has expressed his frustration before, still isn’t happy sharing the running duties with Tony Dorsett. “I must not be the type of runner the Cowboys are looking for,” he said. “If that’s true. I’d rather they let me play somewhere else where I am that type of runner.” Dallas Coach Tom Landry said Wednesday it was difficult finding enough playing time for Walker and Dorsett. “Therefore,” he said, “both of them are usually unhappy.” Injuries to wide receivers led to Walker’s use at that position. “It’s very frustrating because I’m not a wide receiver,” he said. “I like to do the things I do best. They’ve taken that away from me and it doesn’t seem like anyone really cares except me and my family. “I don’t have a feel for just what the Cowboys have me here for,” he added. “I’m used 75 percent as a de coy (at wide receiver). That’s sort of bad.” Last season, his first with Dallas, Walker caught 76 passes and rushed for 737 yards. He said he didn’t know how long he could cope with the current situa tion. “I want to help any team that wants to win ballgames,” he said. “That’s the reason God has put me on this earth, to go out and give my very best.” He said he could be satisfied if he ended his NFL career without reach ing goals expected of him after a brilliant college career at Georgia and success in his three years with New Jersey of the United States Football League. “Everyone is saying I’m in my prime,” said Walker, 25, “but I’ve played five years of pro football. I’ve always said once I start getting bored with something, it’s time for me to give it up.” Why would he be bored with the Cowboys? “Just doing the things I’m doing,” he said. “I’m not really playing. I’m being used as a decoy.” Asked what he might do outside football, he said he had business in terests with former New Jersey owner Donald Trump and might consider returning to track competi tion, perhaps in the Olympics. Aggie tennis teams to play this weekend By Loyd Brumfield Sports Editor Both of the Texas A&M tennis teams will be on the road this week end. The women’s tennis team will re turn to action today when it com petes in the Rice Invitational Tour nament at Jake Hess Stadium in Houston. Others teams competing will be Rice, Houston, Southern Methodist, Louisiana State and Baylor.. The Aggie men’s team will be in Austin at the Westwood Country Club Invitational Tournament com peting against Trinity, Texas Chris tian and the hosting Texas Long horns. A&M’s Gaye Lynne Gensler en ters the women’s tournament as the team’s entrant in the No. 1 singles competition while Lisa Keller and Cindy Churchwell will play in the No. 2 and No. 3 singles brackets, re spectively. Cindy Crawford is in the No. 4 singles bracket, while Sandy Klein will play No. 5 singles and Lori Davis will play in the No. 6 bracket. Keller is questionable for the tournament because she has a strained rotator cuff, and A&M Coach Bobby Kleinecke said he may have to change the lineup if Keller is not available. “Our team is deep and not top- heavy,” Kleinecke said. “We have a lot of depth. “We’re very optimistic about this tournament. It’s usually a good one for us. SMU has been hurt by inju ries so they haven’t fielded a full team this fall. Other than them, it’s up in the air.” In the men’s tourney, captain Dean Johnson leads the Aggies as the No. 1 player- A&M Men’s Tennis Coach David Kent said, “The tournament will be good competition for Dean Johnson. Dean had a great fall, and we’ll be able to see what he can do against these great players. “This is the last outing of the fall. Competition will be real stiff in this prestigious tournament. We can show people what we can do.” The team is suffering the loss of No. 2 player Brent Haygarth, who is not in school this semester. Kent said Haygarth will return in the spring. Both tournaments will continue Sat urday and conclude Sunday.
