"The only discussion on my contract was with the president last year. He said it was necessary to have a pretty good season this year.

I asked, 'What is He said he couldn't base it on X-number of games but we would have to be a contender. When you play your last game with a chance to go to a bowl, you're contending for something." In Stallings' last game, Texas's Donnie Wigginton was the star, scoring two touchdowns and setting up another with his passing. Texas defensive back Alan Lowry intercepted two passes leading to a pair of touchdowns as the Longhoms took their fourth consecutive victory over and their fifth straight triumph of the season. Wigginton tied a Texas season record of 14 touchdowns. Marvin Pate, associate athletic director, has been named with Dr.

Williams. He wasn't here at the time." Stallings said he presently was operating on a five-year oral contract with one year left. "I have never signed a contract since I've been here," he said. "I feel I should finish out the contract through next year and renegotiate at that time." Yesterday afternoon Stallings was not worried about his job. "I do not believe tonight's decision will be negative," he said of the meeting.

"If as an Aggie, were going to make the decision tonight, I would have to vote for me." The board of directors, however, didn't vote for Stallings, so the captain of last undefeated team, In 1958 under coach Bear Bryant, now is unemployed. The i 1 i of Stallings's coaching career came when he directed to a 10-7 Cotton Bowl victory over Bryant's Alabama team in 1968.

Stallings's job had been in jeopardy and his firing was not an unexpected decision. The 36-year-old coach had produced only a 27-45-1 record at a 5-6 mark this season.

After the meeting Stallings declined to meet with newsmen but said shortly after the game that he had been promised a lifetime contract by the 1 a university president, Dr. Earl Rudder. "After we won the championship in '67, President Rudder, who has since died, told me that I did not need a contract on paper. He said, 'You can be coach at Texas as long as you a to be," Stallings said. "My contract was not From Post-Diapatch Wire Services COLLEGE STATION, Nov.

26 The Texas Longhoms' 34-14 victory over Texas yesterday meant many things to many people. It meant that Texas, as champion of the Southwest Conference, will be the host team' in the Cotton Bowl for an unprecedented fourth straight -year. Texas will meet undefeated Penn State Jan. 1. It also meant that Arkansas, which ripped Texas, 31-7, now will be going to the Liberty Bowl.

If Texas had lost or even tied, Arkansas would have been the host team for the Cotton Bowl, and Texas would have taken the Razorbacks' spot in the Liberty Bowl against Tennessee. The Texas triumph yesterday thus left Texas out of the bowl picture. But, most important, it left coach Gene Stallings out of a job. Stallings, in his seventh year gia Tech, 28-24, at Atlanta, and Mississippi, Tech's opponent in the Peach Bowl, ripped Mississippi State, 48-0, at Starkville. Mississippi scored 42 points in the second quarter.

"Oh God, the Lord played offense and defense and everything else for us," said Barbara Dooley, wife of Georgia coach Vince Dooley. On offense, God was portrayed by Georgia sophomore quarterback Andy Johnson, who drove his team 65 yards in the last minute and 30 seconds for the winning touchdown as a national television audience watched. raOH VyR KDEDSs Fellow sophomore Jimmy Poulos capped the march by cracking into the end zone from one yard out with just 14 sec Number One Nebraska's Broken Play Aids Final-Quarter Rally onds left.

Monotonously, Tagge went to first down passes five consecutive times and hit only one of them. As a result, Nebraska could not establish ball control. "That wasn't our kind of football at all," said Kinney afterward. "We were trying to throw the ball and try a lot of trick plays. In the second half, we went right at them." Tagge butted in here to explain: "But I told you why.

If we planned to pass at all, we had to do it on first or second down when their backs were up tight. In the second half, I don't think we threw more than three times." He threw twice and completed both. Tagge said that coach Bob Devaney left the game mostly to him, sending in "maybe three or four plays in the first half and none at all in the second." He said Kinney's great success running off tackle resulted from audibles. "They would come up to the line of scrimmage with their strong safety (Larry Roach) practically lined up with the end. So I would audible the play to the other side.

I must have called 30 audibles," said Tagge. Everybody in the Cornhusker dressing room was happy but there was a little hurt mixed with the joy in the eyes of all-conference safety BillKosch. Kosch was the victim of both of Harrison's TD catches and also was the guilty party on a long Mildren-to-Harrison completion that set up Oklahoma's second TD. "We tried to play Oklahoma like Missouri did and that meant man-to-man coverage on Harrison," said Devaney. "Our defense has always been zone and none of our backs has ever played man-to-man.

We chose Kosch because he's a good one and because he Is always deep-conscious. "But if I had it to do over again, I'd sure try something else." In all, Harrison caught four passes from Mildren, his old Abilene, high school teammate, and all came at the expense of Kosch. Kosch was the goat of the most spectacular sequence of the game. Oklahoma, trailing 14-10 with only 1: 10 remaining in the half, moved 78 yards to score in four plays. There were two runs for short yardage and then a 43-yard bomb to Harrison followed by a 24-yard TD heave to Harrison as Kosch floundered about.

If Devaney wished he had his pass defense to do over, Oklahoma coach Chuck Fairbanks wished that he had the three Sooner fumbles back. The Huskers marched 54 yards to score with the first fumble and 40 yards with the second. Still, Fairbanks said, "I'm not disappointed in our team. We played our hearts out but we just came up short." Said Devaney: "This was the greatest victory of my career." President Nixon called Devaney immediately after the game but after hanging on for half an hour, gave up and Devaney called him (collect) back at the Western White House in San Clemente, Calif. Devaney said he received the customary presidential congratulation.

Nixon then called Fairbanks and may have put his foot in it with his Nebraska constituents. "He told me that if these two teams played again tomorrow, Oklahoma would probably win," said Fairbanks, smiling. So the talk went on about the President, Kinney's four touchdowns and the bowl games coming up until Tagge was asked what would have happened if his pass play to Rodgers in the fourth quarter hadn't worked. "Good Lord," gasped Tagge. "Don't even bring that up." three Mississippi State fumbles in the wild second quarter.

VjjWj" MUM our regular low selling price 'By Gary Mueller The Blues gave thanks yesterday that they escaped from New York with their lives. Now they can look forward to meeting the hottest team in the National Hockey League, the Boston Bruins, in an 8: 05 game tomorrow at The Arena. On Wednesday, the New York Rangers erupted for six third-period goals and pinned an 8-3 defeat on the Blues, who received some solace from a pair of goals by newcomer Mike Murphy. Bobby Rousseau, who scored the Rangers' first two goals, also had some consoling words for the Blues. "This team (New York) is as strong if not stronger than any of the teams I played for in Montreal," said Rousseau, who toiled for six regular-season and four Stanley Cup championship teams in his nine years with the Canadiens.

"And a 's no knock on those Canadien teams. It's a compliment for this one." The Rangers' outburst a i the Blues gave New York 20 goals in its last two games, with 14 of the goals coming in the third period. The Rangers got eight goals in the final period against California last Sunday. "That side of the ice must be downhill for us," said New York coach and general manag- expert bnAKc nbLINc 0 FROM PAGE ONE over the Flyers in Philadelphia. "We were very lucky to win this game," Boston coach Tom Johnson said last night.

Philadelphia actually outplayed us. The difference was that we got great goaltending." Johnston made several key stops after Orr had put Boston ahead by 3-2 on an unassisted goal 11 minutes 25 seconds into the third period. Philadelphia applied the pressure until Wayne Cashman got an insurance goal into an open net with 19 seconds remaining. "Great goaltending, just great," Johnson repeated. "It was great both nights, and we had to have it to win.

Eddie J. and Cheesy got us four big points." In their seven-game streak, the Bruins have scored 35 goals. Johnston and Cheevers have allowed just 10 in the stretch.

The Rangers, thwarted by some excellent goaltending by the Blues' Ernie Wakely, had only a 2-1 margin after the second period, despite a 28-20 edge in shots on goal.
