Royal and Broyles both sign JL AUSTIN. Tex. (UPI) nrrn backs, announced his retirement before a season-ending meeting with Texas last night a game Texas won, 29-12. And Royal, whose Longhorns initiated the wishbone offense and won 30 straight games and two national championships with it, made his decision final following the game. "I've gone into my last locker room as a head coach," said Royal.

"But I will stay as athletic director. uhat Darrell Roval wants to do," he Broyles' resignation was delivered it until a successor is found." "foreign soil," he received far less fanfare than he normally would have. In the final seconds of the game several players lifted Royal onto their shoulders and gave him a ride part way onto the field. Broyles, meanwhile, trotted off the playing surface by himself with little fanfare and without having a chance to shake the hand of his good friend. Royal of Texas and Frank Broyles of Arkansas, two of the nation's most successful college football coaches with 43 years of experience between them, resigned Saturday night.

Both said they would stay at their respective schools as Athletic Director. Broyles. the tall, southern gentleman who put together 18 straight non-losing seasons with the Razor- Athletics is my whole life and I would be scared to go into any other field but athletics." Although Royal stepped down at the end of his worst season in 20 years at Texas a 5-5-1 record he said there were no pressures on him to relinquish the coaching duties. "What I do will be because it is said. And he left no doubts that he would still head up one of the most successful collegiate athletic programs in the country.

"I decided a long time ago I didn't want to live anyplace in the world than Austin, and I don't want to be employed by anyone else but the University of Texas." in a short, prepared statement before the 19th and final meeting with Royal on a football field. "It is my intention to retire from coaching to concentrate on my increasing duties as director of athletics at the University of Arkansas," Broyles said. "I submitted my resignation to our president, but he refused to act upon Star-Bulletin Advertiser Prepared by the staff of The Honolulu Advertiser -kit December 5, 1976 i SuindlavSpoffis dan. mcguire Advertiser Sports Writer Huskers breeze by Bows, 68-3 Sunday souffle In a recent Pop Warner League football game, an official tooted his whistle at the wrong time, depriving a team of the touchdown that would have meant victory. The argument about the play goes on and on.

It could only be resolved by a rematch and this apparently isn't possible. The precedent has been established many times in football; to wit, when a whistle is blown, the play is dead. This interpretation cost the Chicago Bears a win over the Oakland Raiders this year. A Bear lineman picked up an Oakland fumble and had an easy gallop for a score. But the whistle had blown.

And the guy who did the tooting admitted he was completely in error. But the Bears did not get the points they clearly were entitled to. Old-timers will remember Eddie LeBaron, the great T-formation quarterback for College (now University) of the Pacific in the years just after World War II. In handling the ball, LeBaron was such a master of deception that only his teammates knew who was going to take a handoff or receive a pass. At least twice during his college career LeBaron had touchdown passes called back because an official thought a downed halfback had the ball.

Several callers to the Tiser's sports department have claimed that a decision in the 1955 Cotton Bowl game could be applied locally. In that instance, Dicky Moegle of Rice broke loose and was galloping down the sidelines when an Alabama player, Tommy Lewis, jumped off the bench and tackled him. Moegle was credited with a 74-yard touchdown run. However, there was no official's whistle involved here. It was strictly a judgment call.

The other night one of the local television stations ran some old Fox Movietone news-reels, including that Cotton Bowl donny-brook. Seeing the thing for the first time on. the screen, I would swear that several Alabama tacklers had an angle on Moegle and might have stopped him even if Lewis had been unsuccessful. fS Ik 4 www tiajuajaeajaaiijiajijwaja II By DICK FISHBACK Advertiier Sport Writer Nebraska's Cornhuskers made the Aloha Stadium surface look more like Interstate 80 the mainline thoroughfare in Lincoln and frolicked to a 68-3 rout of game but woefully outmanned Hawaii last night. The final score may have been worse than that of a week ago, but this time at least the Bows didn't suffer a complete collapse despite a continuing string of misfortunes, fumbles, costly penalties and seemingly effortless scoring marches by the visitors.

This year's Nebraska team might not have come in No. 1 or been manned by the Johnny Rodgers-Rich Glover-Larry Jacobsen combination. But it didn't matter. Instead, they pulled off the same style of performance but with a different cast. This time it was the rifle-like arm of Vince Ferragamo, the record-breaking running of tail-iack Dennis Berns (211 yards in 25 carries, snapping the Husker record of 204) and the streaking pass patterns of Chuck Mali to and Bobby Thomas.

NEBRASKA MIGHT just as well have left its two-minute offense in Lincoln. Most of the time, it didn't take that long never when the first offensive unit was in the game. Six of the touchdown drives took two minutes or less, three under a minute and one of those only nine seconds. When it was over, the Huskers had accumulated 655 yards total offense, 428 of it on the ground to Hawaii's 205. About the only positive thrust for the Rainbows came in the running of fullback Wilbert Haslip, the workhorse all season and in some phases of the kicking game.

Placekicker Curtis Goodman booted a 43-yard field goal for the only UH points, ending a frustrating personal drought. Haslip finished with 77 yards in 20 carries, while an untiring Paul Dom-broski spent half of his night in an impossible chase of Husker receivers and the other half punting 11 times for a 38.5 average. THERE WERE A few other stellar performances by the Bows, including some futile defensive efforts. Linebacker Tim O'Doherty came in steaming and had 6 tackles and 6 assists. End Marv Battle had 5 and 6 and safety John Annillo 6 and 3.

But most of the evening belonged to Nebraska. Ferragamo only passed 4-for-6, but the tosses resulted in two touchdowns one for 65 yards to Malito and 113 total yards. No other back was in Berns' class, but nine others figured in the rushing. The next best was fullback Dodie Donnell with 56 in 5 carries. Malito was the leading pass receiver with 166 yards and two touchdowns on only four catches.

Thomas had 3 for 63 yards and one touchdown. THE KILLER PATTERN was a quick streak down about 10 yards, then a shoot back to the middle on an almost straight angle for the end zone. More often than not, the speedier Huskers had the UH defender isolated by then and it was just a foot race with the visitors holding a safe lead. Blane Gaison played a gutty game at quarterback for the Bows, taking his life into his own hands numerous times while carrying 10 times for a net 12 yards. One of his positive gains was for 20.

But he was shaken up in the third quarter and gave way to Mike Sten-nis who eventually retired to give Joe Mc Reynolds a chance in the closing moments. The only really serious UH injury was to free safety Tom Ronquilio, who earlier blocked an extra point attempt by the Huskers. He was picked up on the field by ambulance with a neck injury. He had some movement at the time but was taken to Queens Hospital for x-rays. UH coach Larry Price was philosophical in defeat.

"They were just what we thought they would be," he said. "They gave us their best shot and offered no surprises. "I WOULDN'T TRADE this year for anything in the world," he said. "I learned more about life and human nature in general this season than ever before. It was a great experience." And with that, he turned to talk of recruiting and the "10-to-20 freshmen we hope to bring in for next year." That process begins right after tonight's UH football awards banquet at the Campus Center ballroom.

Mailbag and etcetera Former UH athletic director Paul Durham writes that he picked up the Roger Staubach book on our recommendation and "enjoyed it thoroughly." It's great reading, especially for high school and college players who will find Staubach a much more sensitive and intelligent man than his portrayals in the media. The New York writers made a god out of Joe Namath on the basis of one great Super Bowl win. His record since that triumph is dudsville. Staubach, derided as a "square" by some of the weird characters who cover pro football in New York and Washington, is only the most exciting quarterback in the game. Norma Baxter, who's back to being a housewife after several years an assistant to Henry Rente at Hawaii Country Club, reports that the local gal golfers have gotten together to form the Hawaii State Women's Golf Association.

"There are a lot ofvthings we can do to help women's golf in the Islands," Norma said. "One of our first jobs will be the establishment of a good handicapping system." Kay Banning was elected president of the new organization, with Lynn Wynn, vice-president; Marge Terry, recording secretary, Keiki McCombs, corresponding secretary, and Bobbie Krueger, treasurer.
