65 Priest River AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) Texas lacks the depth of "great learns" and the Longhorns' new coach, Fred Akers, says that's why it is so important that he catch up fast in wooing schoolboy stars. Tuesday, at his first news conference as Darrell Royal's successor, Akers said he was leaving at once to recruit in Odessa, Dallas, Sherman and Longview. Texas has a "good nucleus" returning from this year's 5-5-1 squad, Akers said, but 1977 "can't be viewed any other way than as a rebuilding" year. He added later, however, "I'm not expecting to lose, but things need to be answered." Akers, 38, acknowledged that some of Texas' top schoolboy players had not listed Texas as one of the six schools they are allowed to visit.

He said he hoped to change their minds and that he had "nationwide contacts" and would look for outstanding players wherever they lived. He said two or three players he had coached at Wyoming had hinted that they wanted to follow him to Texas. Also, some he had tried to recruit for Wyoming seemed "eager and interested to visit Texas." Asked if Wyoming's 41-7 loss to Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl might hurt Texas recruiting, Akers said, "I'm sure some (other recruiters) will use that, but I hope we're recruiting football players who are smarter than to listen to that." Asked if freshman halfback Johnny "Lam" Jones, a world- class sprinter, would be required to take part in spring football, which would conflict with track season, Akers said, "I enjoy track, but I kind of like to win football games, too." Pressed for a more specific answer, Akers said, "I'm not going to tell him to go run track." Asked a third time what he would say to Jones, Akers said if Jones "feels he can handle the situation and not be behind, then he should go ahead" and run: There would be no problem about his running track after he and others have learned Akers' new football system this spring, he said. Akers said he would meet individually with Texas players when they return in mid- January from the holidays. Akers said Texas will continue to use a 4-3 defensive alignment, but the ends will have different responsibilities and there will be more man-to-man coverage in the secondary.

The offense will shift from the Wishbone-T to a veer, but Akers said the formations are "very similar." Patriot's Cornerbacfc Waynes Gefs Rookie Defense Award NEW YORK (AP) Mike Haynes, the New England Patriots' cornerback who was chosen National Football League Defensive Rookie of the Year by The Associated Press, has a warning for the rest of the NFL. "I'm going to be better next year," he said. "I think we're all going to be better." Haynes and the rest of the MIKE HAYNES Defensive Rookie of Year young Patriots came within a whisker of knocking off Oakland in the first round of the NFL playoffs. The Raiders, of course, have now advanced to the Super Bowl against Minnesota Jan. 9 in Pasadena, Calif.

Much of New England's success this season could be traced to Haynes, who was the i player chosen in the 1976 college draft. He was the first defensive back selected and repaid the confidence in him by immediately moving into a starting role. Haynes finished second in the American Conference with eight interceptions and led the AFC with 45 punt returns for 608 yards. He averaged 13.5 yards per punt return, only two-tenths of a yard less than the NFL leader, Denver's Rick Upchurch. Two of his punt returns were for touchdowns.

He went 89 yards against Buffalo on Nov. 7, producing the first Patriot TD on a punt return in the club's history. Three weeks later, he repeated the feat, going 62 yards against Denver for another score. Seven of his interceptions came in a span of four games that had people all over the, league talking about him. didn't think he'd win rookie, honors.

"I'm very surprised," said. "You don't expect somej thing like this when you start out." Haynes, who played his col; lege football at Arizona State i received 66 votes from The AP panel of 84 sports writers and broadcasters, three from each NFL franchise. Others receiving votes includr ed linebacker Greg Buttle of New York Jets, defensive tackle Steve Niehaus of the Seattle Seahawks, defensive tackle Mike Dawson of St. Louis and safety James Hunter of Detroit.
