Defending national champion Texas, despite a-stiff non-con- ference schedule, has the talent to take the national title again this year. The Longhorns return most of their stars except quarterback James Street who will be re- placed by Ia st year's backup hurler Eddie Phillips. Although untested, Phillips will be helped in running the Wishbone-T of- fense by All-American candi- dates Steve Worster at fullback, halfback Jim Bertelson and end Cotton Speyrer. The defense. led by All-American end Bill Atessis, is solid everywhere but in the secondary, where Coach TV RENTALS $10.50 per month NO DEPOSIT FREE DELIVERY AND SERVICE CALL: NEJAC TV RENTALS 662-5671 rng shapes up Darrell Royal has little.' depth journey which should damp beyond returning starters Dan- the team's spirit. ny Lester and Rick Nabors. en in Southwest :JJf., :. r,: _a. ;. :; Sj AS FAR AS their chances of being number one are concern- ed, Royal says, "Notre D a m e would have to be defeated and all the Big T e n teams would have to be beaten at least once" even if Texas has an unbeaten season. Despite an opening 34-28 loss to Stanford, Arkansas should present a serious challenge to the Longhorns. The Porkers boast of one of the finest aerial combinations in the country in quarterback Bill Montgomery and flanker Chuck Dicus. Tail- back Bill Burnett, the South- west's leadingscorer, adds bal- ance to the attack. Another Ra- zorback asset is an experienced defense which allowed a 7.6 average in ten regular, season games last year. The conference's other six teams are well-balanced except for Baylor which was 0-10 last year, and started the season with a 38-0 loss to Missouri. They do have the NCAA's leading punter in Ed Marsh. At Texas A&M coach Gene Stallings possesses a gifted sophomore quarterback in Lex James. However, after an open- ing win over Wichita State, the Aggies must travel t'o LSU, Ohio State, and Michigan on ^----". i Gruie Pickings TEXAS TECH withnew coach Jim Carlen and TCU with quar- terback Steve Judy (15th in na- tion in total offense) finished right behind the Texas-Arkan- sas duo last year. Yet the fact that Texas beat Tech 49-7 and TCU 69-7 last season leaves the impression that the Red Raid- ers and Horned Frogs have a lot of improving to do. The SMU Mustangs, a 28-11 loser to Oklahoma in their op- ener, base their hopes on the passing arm of Chuck Hixon, the number two passer in 1969. Infact, the prolific Hixon ranks second in the all-time NCAA passing ranks with 5416 total passing yards and a .581 com- pletion standard. After two good recruiting sea- sons, Rice has its best team un- der coach Bo Hagan. Hagan frankly states that Owl quar- terback Phil Wood "is the best running quarterback in the con- ference." Rice must still im- prove their passing game and defense to m o v e up in the standings. The Southwest crown should boil down to what happens when Texas and Arkansas meet on national TV on December 5 at Austin. It just might resemble a 1969 rerun. A two-headed calf runs clumsily toward the setting sun . . three centaurs frolick in hedonistic joy, ignorant of the rapidly- clouding skies . . . an axolotl in high-top Adidas tennis shoes does a dance of joy around an old fedora. What be the meaning of these strange goings-on? The prelude to an SDS meeting, perhaps. or an outing of the Washtenaw County Sheriffs-Department? Maybe Ffats Strops had a little too much Blatz? None of these, ye hazy-headed profligates! These strange events mean that the time is right for you to make your Gridde Pickings. So, cast your paltry schoolwork aside, kick that sultry young wench from your bed, and pour that vile fifth of Johnny °Walker Red down the drain. Arise, arise, ye mighty nation of freaks, engineers, comely nurses, grizzled professors and bandy-legged street urchins! Your Gridde Picks must be turned into the Daily by midnight this Friday if you are to be judged eligible to win that most scrumptious of prizes: a warm, oozing Cottage Inn Pizza. So, you budding Jimmy the Greek, take a pen in hand and say, "With pen in hand I do maketh my Gridde Picks in the hope that I might winneth that pizza." Make your picks my son, and then bring them to us. at the Daily. i , f t LP Fj YIV."- -, - & S!A 1.
