You are Invited to a Presentation by Mr. Trammell Crow Page 10 The Battalion Tuesday, November 1,1988 Dykes: Tech win big in many ways LUBBOCK (AP) — Texas Tech’s 33- 32 victory over Texas was just about as big as they come, Red Raider coach Spike Dykes said Monday. There was a big crowd — at 49,682, the largest at Jones Stadium since a 28- 27 loss to Texas A&M in 1985. There was a big grudge — so big that Tech Athletic Director T. Jones asked that a tarp be stretched over the visitors’ ramp onto the field to protect Texas coach David McWilliams, who angered Tech fans by taking the head job at Texas after just one year in Lubbock. There were big plays — the biggest with 2:36 remaining when Tech quar terback Billy Joe Tolliver connected with Eddie Anderson on a 46-yard pass, then hit Travis Price in the end zone for a 2-point conversion that won the game. “I guess somewhere, nestled in be tween the crowd, and David McWilliams and the tarp, and all that there was a heck of a football game out there Saturday by a bunch of kids that really did a great job,” Dykes said. Down by 17 points going into the fourth quarter, Tech scored 18 points in the final period to hand the Longhorns their third consecutive loss, dropping them to 3-4 overall and 2-1 in the South west Conference. The victory gave the Red Raiders, 3-4 and 3-2. a two-game winning streak going into Saturday’s game at Texas Christian. Tech adjusted both its offense and de fense, going to a 3-4 alignment from the usual 4-3, to beat Texas in a game marked by sloppy play from both teams. After a third quarter in which Texas racked up 18 unanswered points on scor ing drives of 58, 37 and 19 yards, Tech gave Tolliver’s arm a rest in favor of a running game led by reserve I-back Clif ton Winston, who had five carries for 33 yards to lead an 80-yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter. “Cliff had a big impact on that foot ball game,” Dykes said. “He recharged our battery, and his presence was needed, to say the least.” Dykes also praised the play of kicker Scott Segrist, who was 4-4 on field-goal attempts, including a crucial 47-yard at tempt with 6:17 remaining. “I thought Scott Segrist answered the bell very well,” said Dykes. “He’s had a disappointing season up to this stage and I feel like he got his business together and did a great job. ” The next task, said Dykes, is prepar ing for TCU, 4-4 and 2-2, and that game won’t be an easy one. “We’re going to play a team that hasn’t lost at home, and we’re not the best road team in the world,” he said. Bruins falter in poll as Irish, USC advance Associated Press For the first time since 1981, the Fight ing Irish of Notre Dame are on top of the college football world. And since Monday’s Associated Press poll finds Southern California right be hind Notre Dame, it sets up what would be the 24th meeting between No. 1 and No. 2 when they meet on Nov. 26 in the Los Angeles Coliseum. Before that can happen, however, Notre Dame, 8-0, must defeat Rice on Saturday and Penn State on Nov. 19 while Southern Cal, 7-0, has to beat Cal ifornia, Arizona State and UCLA, the former No. 1 team, which slipped to sixth in the wake of Saturday’s 34-30 up set at the hands of Washington State. Notre Dame, a 22-7 winner over Navy, received 44 of 58 first-place votes and 1,144 of a possible 1,160 points from a nationwide panel of sports writers and sportscasters. The Irish had been second behind UCLA the past two weeks. Southern Cal, a 41-20 winner over Oregon State, received 11 first- place votes and 1,097 points in climbing from third place to second. Since the AP poll began in 1936, Notre Dame has won seven national championships, more than any other school. But the Irish haven’t won a na tional championship since 1977 and were last ranked No. 1 after opening the 1981 season with a 27-9 victory over LSU. Notre Dame lost to Michigan 25-7 the following week and hasn’t been higher than fourth until two weeks ago. Notre Dame became the fourth team to be ranked No. 1 this season. Florida State was No. 1 in the preseason poll but lost its opener to Miami 31-0. Miami be came No. 1 for six weeks before losing at Notre Dame 31-30. UCLA was No. 1 for two weeks. Although the Top Ten in this week’s poll are the same 10 teams as last week, there was considerable shuffling. Miami’s defending national cham pions moved from fourth place to third with one first-place vote and 1,041 points following a 31-7 triumph over East Carolina. West Virginia leaped from seventh to fourth by routing Penn State 51-30. The Mountaineers, 8-0 for the first time in their 97-year football history, received the other two first-place votes and 950 points. West Virginia was as high as No. 4 twice during the 1983 season. Florida State was idle but rose from sixth to fifth with 886 points, followed by UCLA with 847 points. Nebraska dropped from fifth to seventh with 835 points after struggling past Missouri 26- 18. Oklahoma trounced Kansas 63-14 and held onto eighth place with 739 points, Auburn blanked Florida 16-0 for its third straight shutout and remained No. 9 with 715 points and Wyoming is again 10th with 658 points after routing Colorado State 48-14.

Texas Coin Exchange 404 University 846-8905 Mesquite QB makes big payback to rivals MESQUITE (AP) — Jeff Hantes was Mesquite’s starting quarterback when the team suffered a 63-14 rout by rival North Mesquite and lost a chance at the play offs in the final game of last season. Whenever he would run into North Mesquite players during the summer, he heard about that game. “If you bring up football,” Hantes said, “they bring up 63-14. What can you say? You’re just left speechless.” Hantes had a year to compose a re sponse, one he displayed eloquently last weekend. Hantes, a 5-9, 175-pound se nior, rushed 15 times for 181 yards and three touchdowns and completed 18 of 25 passes for 247 yards and another touchdown. Hantes led Mesquite to a 34-27 victory that knocked North Mesquite from the District 9-5A playoff race. Thanks to Hantes, Mesquite can make the playoffs with a North Garland victory over Garland in the final week of the reg ular season. “Paybacks are sweet,” Hantes said. “I’ve had a lot of good games, but that might have been my best. I think my best yardage total before that was about 300 yards. It was a big game for us.” Hantes has been known for his option abilities for two years, but his passing has come to the fore this season. As Mesquite’s coaches have made their Wishbone offense more adaptable to the passing game, Hantes has completed 83 of 146 passes for 1,129 yards this sea son, helping the Skeeters improve throughout the year. “I think if we make the playoffs, we will be a team to be reckoned with,” he said. Top 10 (Continued from page 9) panning shots of Jackson on the sidelines as A&M piled on the points? No.4: Tractor Pulls, Trucks Crush ing Cars, Professional Wrestling. You’re familiar with the scenario. You are desperately punching the cable but tons in search of something, anything having to do with sports and all that is on are these pseudo-sports. Sports? These three events really make me squirm. What is the rational of people who program these events for television? Even ESPN shows this garbage. No.3: Brian Bosworth. Don’t like the attitude, the hair, the commercials, the book, the university or anything else connected with The Boz. No.2: Boston Celtics. The team I love to hate. The Celtics are that sort of team one loves or hates. Fortunately, most people I know also despise the Celtics, which makes for great gripe sessions. The Celtics have so much talent centered in so many obnoxious players. Danny Ainge really grabs me for the annoyance prize. I really can’t bear watching the Celtics play because it’s so torturous. No.l: Jim McMahon. McMahon is number one on rhy list. I haven’t heard much from him this season, and it has been a pleasant experience. For a while, McMahon was commercial spokesman for everything. This brings up the point that advertis ers always use sports personalities that people despise to sell their products. Maybe it’s reverse advertising. The com petition uses McMahon to sell scooters when they really don’t want to sell them. They want people to shun scooters and buy bicycles, so they use McMahon to advertise them. I wouldn’t buy anything McMahon was selling. He gets the most obnoxious award hands down. Every time I turned on the television his sunglass-shrouded face was staring out at me. I cackled with happiness when the Pa triots beat Chicago this weekend, but I was not pleased with McMahon’s injury. I may not like the guy, but I wouldn’t en joy him being hurt. Maybe he’s out for the season — oh well. Anyone who calls Doug Flutie Bambi and America’s midget deserves little re spect. I do like Doug Flutie. • We Deliver • 846-5273 • We Deliver • 846-5273i Tuesday, No R&M Stcakhous4 108 College Main Announces a Dinner Special! 5-9pm Grilled Chicken $3.
