"You don't ever look like you're in shape, or your morale is good or your coaches are smart when you lose. But we're taking nothing away from Notre Dame. Their end was boxing us on the keep, forcing Eddie Thillips to run all the time.

They were (See ROYAL on Page 18) responsible for eight fumbles, five recovered by the Irish. "I do know this. You leave the ball on the ground eight times against any team, you're in trouble. You do it against a team like Notre Dame and it's almost impossible to overcome. "I don't think you can be happy about a defeat, although defeat may be good for anyone occasionally.

I know I feel miserable right now and I know I'll feel even more miserable tomorrow. "I'm reminded of a poem could expect.

If you do, you're settling for something less than perfection and that's a defeatist attitude." Texas roach Darrell Royal philosophized in the west dressing room of the Cotton Bovl. And yet the man who guided the Longhorns to the third longest all-winning siring in college football history 30 consecutive victories had to settle for defeat, and the loss of a national championship, on a 24-11 Friday setback to Notre Dame in the 35th annual classic.

CORPUS CHRISTI UT Ex in Australia Calls; Not Pleased with Answer "Brisbane, Australia, calling the Sports Department," the telephone operator said as only a telephone operator in Brisbane, Australia, would be able to say it. "I have a Mr. Crabb on the line from Queensland." The call arrived at the American-Statesman Sports Department about 5:25 p.m.

Friday and the caller was John Crabb, a former University of Texas student who was calling to learn the fate of the UT longhorns in the Cotton Bowl engagement with Notre Dame. Informed that the Longhorns' 30-game winning streak was unceremoniously ended by the Fighting Irish, Crabb said, with feeling in his voice, "That's too bad." The UT-ex, who left the campus in 1940 and now is "building a city" in Queensland, said that he was more interested in the fate of the Longhorns' on Friday than in his land subdivision business.
