Among the NHL stars who have been elected to jump to the new league are Bobby Hull, J.C.

Tremblay, Derek Sanderson, Johnny McKenzie, Teddy Green and goalies Bernie Parent and Gerry Cheevers. Although a number of law suits are pending, the courts already have ruled that Sanderson and players who helped the Boston Bruins to the NHL championship last season -may compete in the WHA.

NEW YORK (AP) You think you've got troubles? We present for your perusal some of the schedules currently confronting some of the nation's major college football teams. For instance, Oklahoma and Texas, both ranked in the Top Ten, have their annual skirmish Saturday in Dallas. Next week, Oklahoma faces Colorado and Texas plays Arkansas. "We haven't had to get down on our bellies and crawl yet," says Coach Chuck Fairbanks, noting Oklahoma's romps over Clemson, Utah State and Oregon that have the Sooners leading the nation in total offense and rushing. "The real strength of the Texas defense is against a running attack.

And they've got as fine an offensive line as I've seen in some time. It's going to be difficult to get the ball away from them," he said. Hearing that Fairbanks was concerned about the Texas defense, Darrell Royal, coach of the Longhorns, quipped: "That's two of us. We're getting the ball moved on us quite a bit. And we're probably playing one of the great offensive teams in the history of college football.

I just can't tell you how much speed and depth they've got." 'Nuff said Oklahoma.

The last time Hill earned the Back of the Week award was as a rookie in 1969 when he threw a touchdown pass.

I never could get one to spiral in practice." Hill also plunged one-yard for a and gained 108 yards in 23 carries as he (lashed the form that made him a sensation as a rookie.
