Royal called his team's execution "fair" but then noted: "We were running against differ ent people than we have in our ther games.

What kind of team ou play makes a big difference in how good your execution is." Royal's line assistants, Jim Pittman and Charley Shira, both rode a similar stand on the play up front by the Longhorns. "We had fairly good plav bv our line on offense, but nobody stood ame out to the extent you could single anyone out. Oklahoma was real strong in the line," said Pittman, who bosses the offensive line. "What Impressed me most about our kids on defense was the way our young boys played. Our first team handled 23 snaps, not counting punts, on defense ami our second line handled the most, 22.

Linebackers Mike Rice and Mike Kelsey are the only two Bruises and Aches Mark Camp Of Razorbacks, UT's Next Foe PHILADELPHIA (AP) Robin Roberts was asked how he felt toward the New York Yankees, the only team in major league baseball willing to take a chance that the right-hander's great career isn't a thine of the oast.

"I would like to think that they're a smart organization," said Roberts, beaming from ear- to-ear at the thought of pitching for Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle and Co. It was a typical Roberts answer, showing the kind of pride, and competitive spirit General Manager Roy Harney said prompted the Yankees to buy the 33-year-old pitcher from the Philadelphia Phillies Monday for a price believed to be slightly over the $20,000 waiver figure. There was no doubt how Rob erts felt about the deal. It was all he could do to keep from laughing at the thought of being Yankee. "Playing with the Yankees is the only place to be." said the winner of 234 games in 14 years with the Phillies.

"Anybodv knows that in baseball the deal is to win or lose. I've watched the Yankees win, and I want to be a part of it." Roberts, who pitched only two complete games in 1961, while winning one of 11 decisions, in sists tne xanKees wul never re gret taking a chance on him. ve got three or four more ood years yet," he asserted at a news conference at which owner Bob Carpenter of the Phillies an nounced the sale. This (baseball) has never been hard for me. That's why I'm still at it.

If something gets too much for you, you fade out of the picture. 1 think I'm capable of pitching regularly. It was obvious this (Philadelphia) wasn't the place to do it." Roberts, passed up last week the player draft by the two new National League clubs, says he has no intention of suggestion whether he should start or relieve. "I'll just show up," he com mented. Harney said in New York the Yankees felt they had everything gain and nothing to lose in taking Roberts.

"I know Robin well and hes a proud competitor," said Harney, He's always in shape and I know he'll make every effort to helo our club. It been a long time since he's pitched for a club that was in the pennant race, and, of course, he's never been in the American league, which may prove helpful to him." DEAN GARRETT Out for sure.

Texas opened as a five-point favorite for the game that could send one of the two teams looming towards the Southwest Conference championship. Texas Rice and Baylor are also favored to post conference victories. The Aggies are favored by six points In their game with TCU at Fort Worth, Rice is booked for a 14'4-point edge over SMU for their Houston battle and Baylor is picked by 12'i over Texas Terh at Lubbock.

It was almost painful to encounter Snead in New York during the World Series and discover how deeply hurt he was. Throughout i professional he has conscientiously hwded Mr.

Khayyan's advice to take the cash and let the credit go, but this cut went deeper than the wallet. At 49, Sam would have been the oldest man ever to compete in this biennial skirmish. It Was Insisted He was aware of the P.G.A. by-laws, never approved by the membership, prohibiting top money-winners and holders of certain designated championships from participating in any tournaments, excluding exhibitions, whose dates conflict with P.G.A.-approved events. However, he was confident the rule did not apply to him because the P.G.A., forbidding Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Stan Leonard to compete for the Canada Cup last spring because of a conflict in dates, did allow Sam to play.

According to reputable and angry members of the P.G.A., t4e Portland people were disposed to give Snead the permis-swn he sought, and refused at the insistence of the P.G.A. leadership. Anyhow, Sam was already playing in Cincinnati wien a telegram denying permission arrived. He withdrew promptly.

This guy (Alworth) has run a 9.7 and Frank Brovles (the Araknasas coach) has called him as fast as any back in Amer-ica," Royal ruminated. He also classified Paul Dudley, Troubles Hit QBs Over US By Associated Pre "Quarterbacks, Their Trials and Tribulations" That could well be the subject for today when some of the nation's college football teams get down to hard work for Saturdays' ames. The subjects concerned are some of the more famous at their occupations this year. Sonny Gibbs. the tree-like sie- nal-caller of Texas Christian, broke three ribs in last Saturday's loss to Texas Tech and has been replaced by soph Gray Mills.

Just before his team's loss to Arkansas the previous week, Gibbs injured himself when an airplane loading ramp collapsed as his team was getting ready to leave for Little Rock, Ark. Daryle LaMonlca, Notre Dame's No. 1 quarterback who has led the Fighting Irish to a 3-0 season so far, has a badly bruised ankle but is expected to be ready for Saturday's crucial game against Michigan State. Lamonica was hurt in last Saturday's 30-0 victory over Southern California. after also getting hurt the previous week against Purdue.

Hadl handled all three roles in the Jayhawks first victory. 21 7 over Iowa State last week. Dave Sarette may still be ready to guide Syracuse against Penn State in the East's big game this week.

He was hurt in the Orange's victory over Nebraska. suffering a shoulder bruise that caused him to return home with his arm in a sling. His sub, Bob Lelli, also suffered a broken hand in the same game. Ohio State Coach Woody Hayes isn't sure who is going to do the quarterbacking for him this week against Northwestern. He indicated it will be either Bill Mru-kowskl, who has done most of the work so far, or junior John Mum-mey, whom he indicated his drawn even with Minkowski.

Ron Taylor, Missouri's quarter back, was listed as one of his team's dozen injured, and may not see action against Iowa State this week. Baylor's Bears, dumped from the unbeatens, also were worried that their two prize Rons Bull and Goodwin might be absent when the team meets Texas Tech Oklahoma State guard Mike Upton will be out Indefinitely after fracturing an ankle while Nebraska halfback Willie Ross, its highest scorer, is hobbled with a hip injury.

AGENT 1806 KOENIG LANE Phone HO 5-8751 STATE FARM 1100 Piute Im4. 30. Tn Pt 1301 kf' By LOi: MAYSF.L The past two years have seen the University of Texas and Ar kansas make one-point victories in fluence the outcome of the South west Conference race and Texas coach Darrell Royal sees another squeaker this year at Fayettevllle Saturday. "It could be the same way again this year and if I had to guess. I'd say there wouldn't be a lot of scoring.

Royal said. Reminded that last year's game was won by Arkansas, 24-23, whereas the Longhorns won by 13-12 the pi-evious year at Little Rock, Royal replied, If they were to fumble to us on the one-yard line again and we have a pass interference called on us in side the 10, then we might have a high scoring game." Royal's party returned from the Saturday 28-7 victory over Okla homa by bus and stopped off at Waco to see Arkansas blister Bay lor. 23-13. Perhaps as a result of this he came away with tremendous re spect for Arkansas. However, he's had it since the start of the year ana much ot it is pegged on the fact that the Razorbacks won the championship last year and shared it with Texas and TCU the year Defore.

Asked what the difference he saw between Arkansas of last year and this year was, he replied quickly, "None and they were the conference champions. "I'm just scared," he said of the upcoming visit to the Ozarks. "I don't see how anyone can be confident. They're every bit as good as a team as we are and they re playing at home. "I can't see any reason for us to be confident.

Until last Satur day, none of our opposition had won a game. We haven done any he-man feats. We re no giant-kill ers, Royal said. The Razorbacks claim they have a worse record playing at home than at Little Rock and in Texas in recent years but Royal sees any trip to Arkansas as tough. I think they have a home field advantage stronger than anywhere else.

You start out with the state. They're a one school state. Supporting the Razorbacks is a state-wide project. There's no division like we have here in Tex as and they've really got an en thusiastic project." Royal said. "It's contagious.

It catches on and the players react to it," he said of the effect of playing be fore a completely partisan crowd. Royal claims his team is more or less untested since it hasn't really played any tough games. Arkansas, on the other hand, played and lost to top-ranked Mis sissippi and now has met and de feated two of the league's better teams, TCU and Baylor. "After they lost to Ole Miss, it made them so much more de termined. They know what it Is to play tough football teams.

They know what it is to be extended to go the full route. We don't," Royal said. "Everything has gone for us real milck in every game we ve play ed. I think we saw certainly the best defensive team we ve seen in UKianoma and tne most we had to go for two of our touch downs in the first half was a total of 23 yards," he said. "First we went six yards and then gave up the football.

For our second touchdown we went 19 yards and then gave them the football. That's a real fine swap nut we can expect to see it con tinue to happen. That sun doesn't shine on the same old dog every day, he said. The sun didn't exactly shine on Texas Monday. The Longhorns had been expected to all report in first-class physical condition but end Bob Moses, who had a knee hurt in the Oklahoma game but then came back to finish it, was limping more than Royal had fore seen.

Third team tackle Gordon Roberts also was in the health center with what appeared to be glandular fever. It was too early, though, to de termine if they'd be out for the Arkansas game. When asked to delve into what impressed him about Arkansas, he replied, "Their speed impress es you the most. Boy, they re fast and, of course, they're real aggressive. They're just a fine oot-baU team." The Longhorns followed their customary Monday pattern for the two-hour practice period.

Royal had 32 of his players out in sweatsuits, and he put them on their own to get in some running. The rest of the reserves scrim mage the freshmen and this time had the upper hand over the Yearlings, who took their first contact since getting off to a winning start against the Baylor Cubs last Thursday by a 13-8 score. Royal indicated Monday lie ex. pected no change in the starting lineup for the Arkansas game but, sliould Moses' injury hang on, let-terman Tommy York probably will go to the starting unit. "A few revisions on the second and third units may be in the offing, but they probably won't knock any players from their expected hand in the Arkansas game.

Should Roberts miss the Arkansas preparation, squadman Tommy Phillips probably will Step up to the third unit. The Franklin sophomore ran on the second unit much of the spring but fell back in the early fall. Royal doesn't expect to see, Ar kansas relying on its speed to go wide.

The players who recaptured the Cup with him in 1959 lave him the well-deserved honor of the captaincy.

Snead's troubles began when, instead of traveling 2.000 miles at his own expense to play In the Portland, Open, he accepted an invitation to a one-day pro-amateur affair in Cincinnati, comparatively close to home. It was more an exhibition than a tournament and it was only at the- suggestion of somebody in Gncinnati at Sam made belated application to the Portland tournament committee for permission to play the pro-am. Upon by PGA It was clear that the P.G.A. gestapo was reversing itself. Snead won the Tournament of Champions before the Canada Cup; he has won nothing since.

If the no-conflict rule didn't apply to him at Canada Cup time, it does not apply now. Yet for appearing in Cincinnati he was fined JjOO and suspended for six months. If this wasn't a face-saving job by the officials, then it had all the earmarks of personal persecution. As though inviting the public to decide which it was, the P.G.A. slrop stewards made the injustice retroactive by flinging Snead off the Ryder Cup team.

Cup players are chosen on the basis of points won in tournament play through the year. Sam had qualified well before he sinned in Cincinnati.

Ford is a fine golfer and worthy representative of his country. He didn't qualify, however, and he becomes uncomfortably, unhappily, aware of it. The P.G.A. bosses abridged America's right to be represented by her 10 best players, as established in competition. They denied the British players their right to try for a clear-cut victory against an opponent at full strength.

TVer Reports Hornung On Call To Duty GREEN BAY, (AP) Green Bay Packer coach Vince Lommbardi said Tuesday "four or five players" on his club are subject to call for active military duty.

But he declined to say whether halfback Paul Hornung and linebacker Ray Nitschke are among them as reported by a Milwaukee sportcaster. Lombardi said that the club is trying to work out arrangements so that the players, whom he did not name, can finish out the 1961 National Football League season. Other NFL clubs face the same situation, he said, and are handling it in the same way. The Packer head coach and general manager said there was "no basis for commenting on the report" that Hornung. the league's leading scorer, and Nitschke would be called to active duty at the end of this month.

Milwaukee sportscaster Tony Flynn tWISN-TV) said Monday night he had learned Xhat Hornung had been ordered to report to Fort Riley, Oct. 30, and that Nitschke was to report to Fort Lewis, Nov. 30 Hornung's mother said in Louisville. she knew nothing about his being called.
