(AP) The Washington Senators have given way to the Texas Rangers with a vow from owner Bob Short to make the club an American Baseball League contender. With all the human emotions which will be colliding on a gridiron tomorrow in Norman, and Birmingham, Saturday. it just dofrs not seem fair-for anyone to pick a 7 winner, 3 But the computers predictions for the two big shootouts of the college football season, first Nebraska at Oklahoma and then Alabama vs. Auburn, are cold and brief: "OklaLoma by 3.

Auburn by 4. While the outcome of these games will have effect on tiie top of the rankings, USC and UCLA wound up their seasons last week ranked one-two only in the computers ratings for tough schedules. USCs Trojans had so tough a schedule, in fact, that the computer still ranks the Trojans in the Top 10 despite four losses and a 7-7 tie to the Bruins last Saturday. The UCLA effort was good enough to earn Pepper Rodgers team Upset of the Week honors. MIAMI (AP) Warren Armstrong learned to fight on the black avenues of Kansas City, isven as an American Basketball Association rookie, he was slugging his way to in; stant infamy.

Meanest man in pro basketball, the 6-foot-2 strong-boy was dubbed. Armstrongs rookie-of-the-year court heroics in 1968-69 were 'outweighed by his reputation as a fearsome brute. The man has changed, even to his name. Armstrong is now Warren Jabali, the latter an Islamic name meaning The Rock. He says that friends came up with the new monicker because they felt it fits my personality and what I radiate.

The Rock Is muscling his way through his fourth ABA season as a member of the Floridians. The bad guy rap of that first season in Oakland lives on with him. I admit to a couple of altercations and a thing with a referee in my first season, says Jabali. Some opposing players are still intimidated by it they seem to be afraid Ill go crazy or something.

I hardly ever saw a white person until I was in high school just Insurance men and bill collectors. Now, I want to work hard to uplift my people, he said.

Thats where a mans responsibility lies whether hes white, black, red or yellow. Athletes have made -a great social impact on this country. As big-name athletes, we use our hero image to get the attention of our people and then, we give them a message. The main thing wrong with black communities today is their lack of awareness, he said. Malcolm proved to blacks that they can talk to whites and indict them for wrongdoings.

But things have changed since a 1 0 1 time. We dont have to condemn white people any longer when theyre wrong. History does that for us. THE COLLEGES Upset of The Week UCLAtied USC.

tmmm Short, who moved the team here from Washington, promised to pay whatever necessary to acquire the talent necessary to mold a penannt contender. Weve got a better pitching staff than people give us credit for, he said, pointing also to what he called tremendous young talent. But we need nelp and Williams is going to be shopping for it, he added, referring to Ted Williams, who Short said would be back as manager. He said the Hall of Fame field general will continue as manager long as hes needed to make this baseball team what it should be. Shorts comments came at a luncheon and a subsequent news conference yesterday in which Arlington Mayor Tom Vandergriff introduced the -club- Vice President.

Joe Burke and American League President Joe Cronin. It was Vandergriff who took the lead persuading American League owners to move the franchise from Washington to Texas during a tense Showdown last September in Boston. Vandergriff unfurled a banner at Tuesdays luncheon proclaiming the clubs new name the Texas Raiigers and predicted that our region will be good for the American League.

Just ask the San Diego Chargers.

Figures released by the-Na tional Football League today show the Chargers with the most impressive offense among the 26 pro teams. San Diego leads in passing yardage with 2,396 and total yardage with 3,561. But a peek at the pro standings show the Chargers lugging a 4-6 record and out of contention in the American Conferences Western Division. Maybe the answer is defense where San Diegos 3,147 yards allowed is next to last In the AFC. In the National Conference, Dallas, which took over first 14 place in the Eastern Division last Sunday, shows the top offense with 3,554 total yards.

It is ironic jthat only a couple oL weeks ago, Coach Tom Landry felt his offense was so sluggish that he alternated his quarterbacks on every play. The top defenses belong with San Francisco in the NFC with a 2,419 yard yield and Baltimore in the AFC, which has surrendered 1,878 Offer to Beasley Probed by NFL Round Hill Country Club First flight Mrs Yegholan 84-1770, Mrs W.
