'Horns lose; Houston gets Cotton Bowl bid By The Associated Press COLLEGE STATION, Texas - David Hardy and David Appleby of Texas A&M kicked Texas out of the Sugar Bowl yesterday as unranked A&M upset No. 6 Texas 13-7 before a record crowd of 69,017 at Kyle Field.

Liberty 2 blocks off state St. 663-6771 with injuries, had to rely almost en- tirely on its nationally third-ranked defense, and it was not enough against aroused A&M. Hardy kicked first-half field goals of 23 and 22 yards and Curtis Dickey, returning from a rib injury, flashed 20 yards for a score as A&M took a 13-7 halftime lead. Hardy's first field goal was set up when Ted Constanzo punted only 27 yards to the A&M 40. HIS SECOND three-pointer came af- ter Appleby had boomed a 49-yard punt and Texas was penalized 15 yards to its 18-yard line. Leroy King fumbled at the 28, with Carl Grulich recovering and Hardy booted his field goal with only 1:37 left in the first half. Johnny "Lam" Jones then fumbled shocked Rice with three first-half touchdown runs, including a 64-yarder, as 10th-ranked Houston blasted the Owls 63-0 yesterday to gain a share of the Southwest Conference champion- ship and earn its third trip to the Cotton Bowl in four years. Houston's victory, coupled with Texas A&M's upset of sixth-ranked Texas, left the Cougars tied for the SWC crown with Arkansas, both with 8-1 league records. HOUSTON, WHICH shared the title with Texas Tech in 1976 and won it outright last season, gets the Cotton Bowl berth against Big Eight runnerup Nebraska by virtue of its victory over Arkansas earlier in the season. The Cougars, 10-1, rolled to a 35-0 halftime lead on Newhouse's runs of WITH THEIR backs to the wall after losing four fumbles in the third quarter, Alabama's defending national cham- pions began their winning drive with 11:31 left, eight seconds after Auburn had taken the lead. Shealy reeled off runs of nine and 15 yards, passed nine more to Pugh and Steve Whitman hammered 20 yards as Alabama, aided . by a personal foul against Auburn, marched to the Tigers' eight-yard line. Shealy then ran a keeper play to his left, cut back inside, evaded two would- be tacklers and stormed into the end zone. The Crimson Tide still had to sur- vive two Auburn threats. James Brooks' 64-yard kick-off return put the ball at the Alabama 31, but Mike Locklear dropped a fourth- down pass inside the five with 6:43 to go. Less than two and a half minutes later, another fourth-down pass went astray at the Alabama 37, killing Auburn's last chance. Alabama wound up the regular season with an 11-0 record and a 20- game winning streak, longest in the nation. Auburn' finished 8-3, but the Tigers are on probation and ineligible for a bowl berth. Pittsburgh 29, Penn St. 14 STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Randy McMillan ran for two touchdowns and caught a 50-yard scoring pass while Mark Schubert booted three field goals as 11th-ranked Pittsburgh twice came from behind to beat Penn State 29-14 yesterday and lay claim to the Eastern major college football championship. The victory was the ninth straight for the Fiesta Bowl-bound Panthers, only the fifth time in the university's 89-year football history a Pitt team managed that feat.

Third-string quarterback Mark Jer- mstad scored Houston's seventh touch- down on an 11-yard run midway through the fourth quarter, and Eddie Wright scored on a two-yard run with 1:01 left to play to complete the victory. Alabama 25, Auburn 18 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Steadman Shealy darted eight yards for his second touchdown of the game with 8:17 remaining yesterday, lifting fumble- plagued Alabama to a thrilling 25-18 victory over Auburn that put the Crim- son Tide in the Sugar Bowl and may have preserved its No. 1 national ranking. Shealy, who threw a 28-yard touch- down pass to Keith Pugh early in the second period and scored on a one-yard plunge eight minutes later, took Alabama 82 yards in seven plays to the winning touchdown. Auburn, ranked 14th, had jumped in front 18-17 on Charlie Trotman's touchdown pass of 36 yards to Joe Cribbs and 11 to Mark Robbins 3% minutes apart.

Two weeks ago her women's gymnastics squad struggled to beat Indiana by four-tenths of a point. Yester- day, it was a similar story. Going into the final event, Michigan led Eastern Michigan by only .15, a very uncomfortable margin. But by the end of the floor exercise, the Wolverines had amassed almost two more points than their opponents, for a total of 125.10 compared to Eastern's 123.45. IN AN ATTEMPT to prevent a disappointing defeat, Hyatt sent senior Sara Flom into the competition with a sprained ankle. But this tactic proved unnecessary, as Michigan had already clinched the meet. Fortunately, Flom suffered no further damage to her injured ankle. For her efforts, Flom earned an 8.15, good for third place. Teammates Theresa Bertoncin and Diane -McLean claimed the two top positions in floor exercise with respec- tive scores of 8.4 and 8.3. But it wasn't all that easy for the Blue tumblers. The Hurons made a strong showing in the uneven parallels, out- scoring the Wolverines by 1.3 points. McLean and sophomore Lisa Uttal had difficulties as each fell from the bars twice. "It's kind of depressing when you do it right in practice and not in the meet," said Uttal. "It wasn't the bars' fault, the problem was in my head." TRAILING BY .7 after the initial two events, the Wolverines regained the lead in the beam competition. Laurie Miesal and McLean keyed the surge with scores of 7.85 and 7.75 respectively. Though her score proved superior to the others, Miesal wasn't happy with the result. "What makes me mad is that I do it twice as well in prac- tice," said the disgruntled sophomore. Hyatt conceded that the comeback could have been at- tributed to the Hurons' low scores rather than Michigan's high numbers. "We can definitely score higher than we did on beam," said the coach, referring to the team's total of 30.15 for the event. The Wolverines take their unblemished record to Wisconsin next Saturday for a meet with the Badgers. Once again, there may be room for the tumblers to err in their routines - the Badgers finished last in the Big Ten meet held last February. Tumblers overcome falls, beat EMU Lansing band strings up Ark i,___ .___ --------- - --- ------- _ _.._ _ .. ..._. 1 ----J (Continued from Page seven) Buddies work at the noted store. "Musicians can make a living working there long enough to establish them- selves as professionals, and then they have roots there." THE BOSOM BUDDIES play well together, and their hoedown sound is smooth but undramatic. Pptter and Marcy Marxer on guitar provide solid and lively rhythm, and Melanie Men- nicoff's clawhammer banjo picking is just right. The, guts of any old time- Wolverine Watchers! string band is its fiddling and singing, though, and here the Buddies fall just the slightest bit short. Sue Hammond's fiddling is accurate and clean, but it doesn't jump much, and she needs to boss the old cricketbox more in order to control the rhythm. The group doesn't have a bass, and a strong fiddler-both in sound and style-can easily make up for the loss. Here, Hammond simply has got to take over. Similarly, the singing needs just that extra bit to makeit first class. True, Hammond was singing with a cold in her nose, making it difficult, to judge the performance of the group, and also true that they used two microphones for I ,.- A ._' i/;1 , three voices. The harmonies were right, but not crisply 'defined and soaring, as is the case with some other all-women string bands. Karrie Potter has an exceptional voice, and the others were on the mark, but again, they need to get together and take charge. THE GROUP boasts a very fine repertoire filled with tunes seldom *heard in Ann Arbor. They change tem- pos and styles appropriately, and never drag. Only their .stage presence was weak and this because they are used to playing in bars and not for attentive audiences like those found at the Ark. (They were overheard saying they are interested in playing Mr. Flood's Party, which seems quite appropriate). As the concert came to a close, those who had been dancing all night in the back of the room helped the women clear the floor for a big square dance. Hammond taught dances and called as the old floorboards of the Ark boomed with hoofing and stomping. For a group that has been together for less than a year, the Bosom Buddies perform° quite well, and with an infec- tious energy. We should be so lucky to see such a local group again soon in Ann Arbor. has some Great Christmas Ideas!
