"He just laid it out there for me," Hazard said of his 37-yard catch. Ware tied the NCAA mark for most games gaining 400 yards or more in a season at six. Jim Mc-Mahon set the record at Brigham Young in 1980.

The Cougars also tied the NCAA record of 49 touchdown passes in a season, a mark also set by Brigham Young in 1980. Houston also set or tied 15 SWC records. Ware broke SWC records of 269 one-season completions by Rice's Tommy Kramer in 1976 and the SWC career yardage record 7,179 by Southern Methodist's Chuck Hixson in 1968-70. Ware has 292 completions this year and 7,327 career yards and finished Saturday's game 27 of 49. The Houston defense got five turnovers from the Longhorns, including two interceptions off quarterback Peter Gardere.

"We knew at the start of the game we had to pressure Gardere," Cougar defensive tackle Alfred Oglesby said. "We tried to rattle him and it worked. We didn't let him settle in." "This is probably the toughest defense we have faced so far," Gardere said. The Longhorns kicked three first half field goals and self-destructed twice near the Houston-goal line in the second half.

Lutz The Associated Press HOUSTON -V The Houston Cougars are beginning to make a habit of decking the Texas Longhorns as well as NCAA and Southwest Conference records. Manny Hazard caught two of Andre Ware's four scoring passes, including an NCAA record 19th touchdown reception, in No. 15 Houston's 47-9 victory over Texas, the Cougars' third straight against the Longhorns. "It's always special when we can go beat those guys, what else can you say, it's satisfying," Ware said. Houston beat the Longhorns 60-40 and 66-15 during the last two years.

Hazard, who leads the nation with 118 catches, caught 19 passes for 226 yards and moved closer to the college record of 134 receptions set by Tulsa's Howard Twil-ley in 1965. The Cougars were ahead 27-9 at the half on Ware's touchdown passes of 18 and 31 yards to Kimble Anders and an 18-yarder to Hazard that tied the NCAA record set by San Diego State's. Tom Reynolds in 1969. Hazard broke the record in the third quarter with a 7-yard catch.

By Thomas P. Wyman The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. Top-ranked NotreJ)ame showed muscle and mercy Saturday against Southern Methodist. The Irish knew it woujd be an easy day, and it was. Notre Dame labored to keep the score down against SMU, taking delay-of-game penalties and deliberately avoiding one touchdown while setting a school record with their 22nd consecutive victory.

"I didn't waljt the scoring to get out of hand," Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz said after the Irish (10-0) demolished the Mustangs (2-7). Despite even Holtz's best intentions, the score was a lopsided 59-6. "He did everything he could to keep the score down after the game was settled," SMU coach Forrest Gregg said. "I would not have wanted them to lay down and not try to score." Notre Dame's previous mark of 21 consecutive victories was set under Frank Leahy in 1946-48. The longest college football winning streak is Oklahoma's 47 consecutive games from 1953 to 1957.

"To win 22 football games in a row, that's just starting to sink in," Holtz said. "It's special, it really is."

Arkansas moves toward SWC battle with AM Ricky Watters set another Notre Dame record with a 97-yard punt return for a touchdown. Notre Dame had trouble only in overcoming its early lethargy, scoring once in its first three possessions against the Mustangs, who dressed 59 freshmen.

The Mustangs finally were so overwhelmed that punter Casey Gyce stepped back of the end zone in the second quarter, trailing 33-6, and took a safety rather than offer Notre Dame a chance to return the ball for a touchdown. "I think this really was awe-y some to a lot of them," Gregg said. "They sort of lost control of their own talents." With 36 seconds left in the third quarter and Notre Dame leading 52-6, Rusty Setzer ran the ball out of bounds on the Mustang 7 when he had a clear ran to the end zone. "That was because of me," Holtz said. "I just didn want to score a lot of points." The rrish led 7-0 in the first quarter, then scored 35 points in the second, including Watters' record return.

The previous mark had stood since 1909. when Harry "Red" Miller returned a pnnt 95 yards against Olivet. By halftime. with the score 42-6. the Mustangs had minus-1 yard rushing and 70 yards passing.

Wright eventually added his third and fourth field goals of the game and Arkansas beat the Bears 19-10 to set up a Southwest Confer ence showdown with Texas on Nov.

24. Arkansas improved to 8-1, 5-1 in the SWC, same as the Aggies. Baylor dropped to 4-5 and 3-3. Hatfield said the Arkansas defense isn't as strong as it was last year, when the Razorbacks won the league championship. "We knew we had to keep the ball away from them but, Holy Toledo, 42 minutes to 18 minutes of possession time is more than we dreamed possible," Hatfield said.

to compare Gray to, but said, "He's got to be a highly regarded football player." The Tech defense also played an important role in the easy victory, Dykes said. "We were really scared of TCU" and its big-play offense, he said. "I thought our defense played really well; it was a good defensive football game." The Tech defense held the Frogs to 290 yards of total offense 100 of that on the hard running of Curtis Modkins. Free safety Tracy Saul was nothing less than outstanding, leading Tech in tackles with eight and picking off two TCU passes. Dykes credited the defensive line for forcing TCU quarterback Ron Jiles into poor 12-of-30 passing plus Saul's interceptions.

"Our guys up front did a good job rushing the passer," he said. The Raiders went to work quickly, driving 64 yards for a 29-yard field goal by Lin Elliott with more than 10 minutes left in the first quarter. They opened up a 10-0 lead with 3:07 left in the first period when quarterback Jamie Cill found Anthony Many weather with a 5-yard TD pass. Gray's 34-yard scoring reception from Gill, his 16-yard TD run and Anthony Lynn's 6-yard run made it 30-0 at haifume. Ivorv Christian, Permian High School's 19S8 All-State linebacker, saw plenty of action at middle linebacker for the Horned Frogs, officially geuing in on two tackles.

By Harry King The Associated Press FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. For a moment, with Arkansas and Baylor tied at 10, Razorback Coach Ken Hatfield considered going for a touchdown from the Baylor 2. It was fourth down and the 10-ranked Razorbacks needed slightly rrtore than a yard for a first down. "If we had had less than a yard to go on the goal line, we would have gone for the touchdown," Hatfield said. "But when we called time out we saw it was a little longer than that.

We had eaten several minutes off the clock with that drive and we just had to make sure we put some points on the board." Raiders Although Gray graduated from Fort Worth's Trimble Tech, TCTJ Coach Jim Wacker did not offer him a scholarship, instead asking Gray to walk on. Wacker and TCU have paid for that omission many times over. In four years against TCU, Gray has piled up 609 yards, rushing for more than 100 in each contest. The 209 he gained Saturday marked the largest total a Tech runner has ever gained against TCU and his 69-yard run was the longest play from scrimmage this season against the Frogs. Gray, who improved his SWC-leading rushing total to 1,177 yards, tried to downplay any feelings of ill wiU toward TCU somewhat.

just wanted to get over 200 yards and help us win," he said. But he revealed the depth of his feelings when asked if he enjoyed playing the Frogs, Gray said, "I won't miss TCU or Jim Wacker. Tech Coach Spike Dykes said Gray and the Red Raiders. defense keyed the victory. "James big play really hurt them," Dykes said.

'lt was a big builder for us. James is such a great player. He has a unique style, he's, hard to tackle." Dykes said he fears the Raiders' fans in Lubbock may not realize just how good Gray is. "These folks are going to miss, him this time net year," he said.
