vorite had to be quarter in the first conference
from Arkansas, game of the year, Tech (7-2)
ength of having seemed to have Texas by the
key, Joe Fergu- horns. But Lowry scored two
mble against the touchdowns in that final period
set the pattern to snatch victory from the jaws
e, as since then of defeat.
SMU has also had a fairly de-
.cent year. Paced by their two
g SWC fine running backs, Alvin Maxson
and Wayne Morris, the Ponies (4-
w L T W L T 4) broke fast but when the late
5 0 0 7 1 0 season injuries began to pile up
3 2 0 7 2 0 they simply ran out of good re-
2 2 0 4 4 0 placements.
The M&M boys were called by
the Horns' Minnick "the two best
running backs in the country."
One very pleasant surprise has
been the semi-emergence of Bay-
lor from the back of the pack.
With new coach Grant Teaff at
the helm, the Bears (4-4) have
produced four wins this season
as compared with only one over
the past two campaigns.
Before Texas can make its
reservations for a New Year's
day in Dallas they still must get
by two more opponents, neither
of which is having an outstand-
ing year. TCU surprised every-
one last week by dumping the
heavily-favored Red Raiders, but
but other than that they have
been less than impressive, as
witnessed the 42-9 clobbering ad-
ministered by Baylor the pre-
vious week.
While Texas A&M has won but
three games, their Thanksgiving
Day battle with the Longhorns
may produce a few surprises.
The main reason for this is the
new coach, Emory Bellard, who
may remember enough of the
Texas offense which he coached
last year to pull off an upset.
Trying to compare this year's
Texas team with the previous
champions is a subject much
discussed in the Lone Star state.
SMU coach Hayden Fry says
"They're (Texas) every bit as
good if not better than the teams
that won the national champion-
ships in 1969 and 1970."
As the Longhorn races to the
wire leaving the others in the
dust, it appears that it could win
tVe titl ! now even with George
4Ga eri in ths saddle. As cur-
rent j ):2key Lowry put it as his
express heads toward the Cotton
Bowl "We're gonna play 'em one
at a time." He did admit how-
ever that he had rarely seen a
team play more than one game
at a time.
With that piece of expertise
another SWC race can be laid to
rest with seven of the entries
slated for a trip to the glue fac-
tory, or to the stud farm, and
the Texas Longhorn being groom-
ed and readied for an appear-
ance in the Cotton Bowl.

they have fallen way back after
tripping up three more times.
But if Arkansas (5-4) has been
a disappointment, L o n g h o r n
trainer Darrel Royal really has
his entry feeling its oats. The
main worry at the start of the
season was the lack of a super
jockey. So they have had to rely
on Allen 'Slick' Lowry, who has
come through superbly.

Volleyball club expects success
beginning Detroit 'Y' tourney
By MIKE LASH
When most people think of vol-
leyball, they tend to regard it as
more of a healthy, relaxing fami-
ly type of sport confined to the
backyard or to grade school gym
classes.
But to the skillful and experi-
enced player, the game is a real
contest of strength, teamwork and
lightning - fast reaction. Only top-
notch sportsmen are able to endure
the gruelling strain necessary to
develop a winner.
Obviously, the University of
Michigan volleyball squad has
already learned that lesson and
learned it well. This season,
Michigan's sports club program
sends in a mighty competitor that
last year suffered only 39 losses
in 152 contests. They competed
against volleyball clubs and col-
lege varsity teams from all over

the state as well as other parts
of the Midwest.
Beginning next Tuesday, Michi-
gan attempts to prove that last
year was no fluke when they take
on St. Clair Shores College, of
Windsor. This is the first round of
an eight-team round robin tourna-
ment in the Detroit YMCA League.
Each of the eight teams play
a five-game series with each of
the other seven squads twice,
and the team finishing with the
most victories wins the tourna-
ment crown. Last year Michigan
racked up 59 victories along with
six losses to win the champion-
ship, and has high hopes of re-
peating that performance this
season.
According to club president An-
dy Frievalds, Michigan will alter-
nate its graduate and undergrad-
uate squads throughout that tour-
nament. He will save his open
team, which consists of the best
players on the roster for the up-
coming U. S. Volleyball Associa-
tion (USVBA) tournaments. The
open team is open to all Michigan
students and faculty.
A long, hard road lies ahead for
the Michigan volleyball men, and
an equally difficult path to match
lies behind. But teamwork, coor-
dination and a winning attitude,
are trademarks of Michigan's pow-
erful sports squads, and volleyball
is certainly no exception.
