is generally believed that the Missouri Valley Conference football championship will be decided North Texas will travel to Tulsa and the winner of that one will take it all The season will be over before the first leaf falls But that is not the judgment of course of folks like West Texas and New Mexico State who will have a showdown of their own this week Tulsa and North Texas were listed as co-favorites going into the MVC campaign and both opened their season last week From those results North Texas will probably be made the favorite for Saturday's encounter THE HURRICANE scambled back from a 17-point deficit against Kansas State but then fell to a fourth quarter surge and lost 31-14 North Texas meanwhile carried the game to Southern Methodist in an emotional effort only to lose 7-6 never had a bunch of players scratch and claw like these said North Texas coach Hayden Fry who had been fired by SMU two seasons ago loss is a loss but we've made great progress no question about that I think our ball club may have jelled against SMU into something IN OTHER MVC games last week West Texas opened its conference campaign with a 37-17 win over Drake Louisville fell to Auburn 16-3 New Mexico State dumped Southern Illinois 28-9 and Wichita was overwhelmed by Oklahoma State 59-0 West Texas' victory put it in a first place tie in the early league race with New Mexico State which had defeated Wichita the week before And the Buffs meet the Aggies this week at Canyon Tex with the winner there assuming the lead in the conference chase Drake will travel to Beaumont Tex for a date with Lamar and Wichita will go to Kansas State in two non-conference affairs aiuuu apimcu me a 26-yard field goal SAW IT on the moaned Shula much improved They have a lot of young kids on defense not going
