FULTON' DALLAS (UPI) "It scares 'hell out of me whether we throw the ball or they throw it." It was Darrell Royal, the coach of the University of Texas Longhoms, reaffirming the philosophy that has brought him two straight national the ball and run; pass when you have to. Royal's history explained half of his quote, but the other half is wrapped up in Texas' Cotton opponent New Year's Day.

Notre Dame, and its passing combination of quarterback Joe Theism aim to tight end Tom Gatewood. "This year they allow Gatewood to break a pattern; to change and run a different route. And Theismann has the ability to scramble around and pick him up," Royal said. He spoke to Dallas newsmen in a telephone.press conference from Austin, where Texas is preparing for the bowl game. But, Royal sail, Notre Dame is not all Theismann and Gatewood.

The rest of the team is impressive too. "They are by far the largest team we have faced," Royal said. "They are so i a They are so big and strong. They have three big running backs; big, strong linemen and big men on the defensive line. can't neutralize a guy who is big.

strong and can nVove," he said. Royal talked most about Theismann. He said the Irish quarterback has the ability, like his own quarterback Eddie Phillips, to gain yards when the rest of the team gels momentarily stale. "He (Theismann) gives the impression of being frail, of not being durable enough, but he's an excellent runner. He gains as much yardage as any man in their backfield." Royal confirmed that Cotton Speyrer, the split end who broke his arm during the regular schedule and missed the last half of the season, will definitely not play for the Longhorns.

Speyrer, who caught what few passes the Longhorns threw and usually in clutch situations! has been working out with the Longhorns, but his arm has rot improved enough to allow him to play- Royal dwelt at length on the spirit of both teams entering the game, perhaps because Texas' level was at its peak when the Longhorns thrashed Arkansas in the last reason game to win the Southwest Conference title. "I don't think anyone ever knows if (a team is) ready, or flat, or anything. We're always worried in the dressing rcom before a game about how they will play," he said. The Texas coach, pointing to the prestige of the game and a possible undisputed national championship for Texas with a victory, added, "I can't see anybody not being ready to play." Another opinion is one Theismann gives a passing grade. Theismann and his Notre Dame teammates have romped around on the Cotton Bowl's Astrotruf three times now in for Friday's meeting with No.

1 Texas. And the Irish quarterback blurts it right out. "I like it," he says. "It is great for offensive backs and receivers. They have the advantage over the defense, I think, because they can cut sharper and they know where they are going in the first place." The 1970 Cotton Bowl struggle between the Longhorns and Irish was played on a slow field despite beautiful weather.

The Cotton Bowl turf had been chewed up only days before by the Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys. Since then artificial turf has been installed. "We played Michigan State on Tartan turf," Theismann said, "and I like the stuff in the Cotton Bowl mucli better." The Astroturf resembles a huge, green sponge, while the Tartan surface is made up of tiny fibers tihat comes close to resembling real grass. "Against Michigan State I was setting up in the pocket and got one cleat caught in it and I feel rear end-over-head." In preparing for Texas, Theismann said the chief reason he wants a victory is "the obvious one." "It will be my last game in a Notre Dame uniform, and 1 feel like I have something to make up for. "I feel I have cheated Coach Ara) Parseghian.

"I have been a part of a team that could have given him an undefeated season and a national championship. "Of course he had won a national championship before (in 1964), but he has never had an unbeaten, xmtied team. If we can beat Texas and break its winning streak, we can at least give him a little part of what he couldn't have. "We are just going to go out and show the people the kind of football Notre Dame can play." SAN FRANCISCO MJPI)- Defensive line coach Paul Wigg'in of the San Francisco Forty Niners has some bad news for the Dallas Cowboys. Referring to the Forty Niners defensive line, Wiggin said: 'Its a good group now and will get better and better." His choice of two "betters" was appropriate.

For if San Francisco defenders get better agaisst Dallas their NFC championship game Sunday at Keza Stadium, a. victory might result. And that would send the Prospectors into their first Super Bowl Jan. 17 at Miami where the defensive line could get better once again against either Baltimore or Oakland for all the marbles. Rookie defensive end Cedrick iardman, a 250-pounder from North Texas, State, has suggested naming the defensive line ihe "Gold Rushers." "We should be the Gold Rushers.

we're rushing after all the money," he said, referring to the pot of monetary gold that goes to each player on the Super Bowl winner. Wiggin noted that youngsters such as Harman, Earl Ed- Blue-Gray Game May Be Last One For Short Tommy Suggs Of S.C. Landry Knows His Cowboy Defensive Unit Be Having Their Troubles Against San Francisco DALLAS Landry "because this means we will not came away from his television get to play in Dallas on our set over the weekend knowing hi Dallas Cowboys' offensive unit will have its troubles next Sunday in San Francisco. somewhat sur- Landry said of the 49ers 17-14 decision over Minnesota. "1 knew San Francisco had been playing well the last fcjw games, but its defense really impressed me Sunday." The matchup brought about by San Francisco's victory and Dallas' 5-0 win over Detroit brings together Landry and his star pupil-Dick Nolan.

Nolan played for Landry at New York and coached under Landry at Dallas before bailing out the 49ers. "My first reaction to San a i victory was said Landry, home field. "But my second reaction was gladness in that Dick Nolan was able ot get into the championship game. We will be playing a good football team. They looked much better than when I saw them earlier, especially on defense.

"From this standpoint we will have a tremendous opponent, because they are always excellent offensively." Landry said he was resigned to playing on a heavy field at San Francisco's Kezar Stadium, particularly after seeing the Miami Oakland American Conference playoff affair played in the slop at Oakland. "Kezar Stadium has a wet field, just like the one in Oakland," said Landry. "So Clay-Frazier Fight Plans Stalled In Madison Square NEW YORK last i would be from the potential $10- remaining obstacles to a i million bout. The California heavyweight title bout between I group will handle the ancillaries Oakland," said Landry. "So we're going to have a pretty heavy track to play on." Although Dallas' defense has shut its opponents off without a touchdown for 21 straight quarters, Landry said he did not expect this string to continue in the championship game.

"To be shut out, as Detroit was by he said, "a team has to have some tightness in it. Greg Landry Detroit's quarterback seemed pretty tense, and he indicated he had been after it was over. "I know this, we'll have to do some scoring against San Francisco because the will be scoring with a guy like John Brodie in there." In the past Cowboy opponents have enjoyed meeting Dallas on a muddy field. The belief around the league was that Dallas did not play well in the goo. Cowboys, however, defeated Cleveland 6-2 in a mudbath earlier this year.

wards and Bill Belk are constantly improving under the guidance of such veterans as Charlie Kreuge and Roland Lakes in the defensive line. Head coach Dick Nolan and Wiggin have installed a "front eight" on the defensive line this season. Hardman, Edwards, Belk, Kreuger and Lakes join tommy Hart, Stan Hindman and Sam Silts on a constant shuttle, depending on whether it is a goalilne situation or whether a definite pass or is expected. Nevada oddsmakers have installad the Forty Niners as 31-2 to 4-point favorites. Dallas and San Francisco tied 24-24 the last time they met during the 1969 season.

The game pits Nolan against his former boss, head coach Tom Landry of the Cowboys. "Tom taught me everything I know," said Nolan. "I have a lot of respect for him but we welcome this opportunity to beat him and go to the Super Bowl." Safety Mel Phillips came out of the win over. Minnesota with a sore wrist and Harman scratched an eyeball but both said they would paly against the Cowboys. By JIM MCGREGOR MONTGOMERY, Ala.

(UPI) If the Blue-Gray game was last football contest for Tommy Suggs, the South Carolina quarterback went out in fine style. The 5-9, 190-pound native of Lamar, S.C., wjio thinks he is too short to make a professional team, passed for 211 yards and two touchdowns to lead the South to a resounding 38-7 win over the North in the 33rd annual charity game. "I would love to play pro, but I think I'm going to be too short," said Suggs as he posed with his mother and his Most Valuable Player Trophy. Suggs had lots of help in the win from Don Pederson of Florida State, who was a last- minute replacement of the Gray squad. Pederson, filling in for flanker Frank Lewis of Grambling who did not report because of an injury, caught seven passes for 132 yards and a touchdown.

Anderson Aids Cause Another South Carolina native, Jack Anderson of Clemson, also aided the Southern cause before 23,000 fans and a national television audience. Anderson carried the ball only five times for 23 yards, but picked up two touchdowns on- short runs. Ray Yauger, Anderson's Clemson teammate, picked up 44 or 14 carries. David Abercrombie of Tulane, Most Valuable Player in the 1970 Liberty Bowl, caught five passes for 48 yards and a score. Linebacker Rick Kin- grea, also of Tulane, picked off a pass by Mike Sherwood of West Virginia and rambled seven yards for a score.

Jack Simcsak of Virginia Tech was good on five extra point tries and added a 22-yard field goal. Sherwood and Frank Harris of Boston College, the other Blue quarterback, never got their team rolling against the tough South defense. They completed only six of 20 passes for a minus two yards. The Blues did somewhat better on the ground with of Missouri, Fred Willis of Boston College and Ward Walsh of Colorado combining for 147 yards. North's Outstanding Players Harrison, a 235-pound fullback, picked up 46 yards and a touchdown and was named most outstanding offensive player for the North.

The press voted Jay Wallace, a middle guard from Missouri, as the North's top defensive player. South defensive honors went to end Rusty Ganas of South Carolina, but Coach Paul Dietzel of South Carolina had considerable praise for Kingrea and Dick Biddle of Duke, his two linebackers. "I have never seen two better ball players," Dietzel said. Biddle, Mike Walker of Tulane and Dick Bumpas of Arkansas stopped Blue drives with fumble recoveries. Georgia Tech's Bubba Hoats stopped another with a pyass interception.

The win gave the South an 1813-1 edge in the series. Milwaukee Bucks Have Superstars And Others JOHN BRODIE, afierbadc Francisco Thorpe Trophy John Brodie Wins The 1970 Jim Thorpe Award MURRAY OLDERMAN SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (NEA) At the age of 35, the ultimate pay-off as a professional football player has come to John Brodie. More satisfying, spiritually, than the $827,000 he got not to create waves when the war between the leagues was settled (John had signed to jump to tht Houston Oilers). More stimulating, emotionally, than the close to six figures he gets annually as the quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers.

The veteran signal caller, the leading passer in the National Football Conference this year, was today named the. winner of th 1970 Jim Thorpe Trophy as the most valuable player in professional football. Brodie was chosen by a vote of players from the 26 te.ams in the National Football-'League. The poll was conducted by NEA with the cooperation of the NFL Players Association. Brodie, in his 14th year with tile 49ers, ha completed his most satisfying season, leading the team to its first division title in history.

Almost diffidently, in being told he was honored by his peers as the NFL's top performer i 1970, he said, "No one guy can do that much. It's a reflection of what we've had here this season by far the best team I've ever been on." And in 1957, when he was a rookie out of Stanford, playing behind Y.A. Tittle, the sparse- haired slinger was on a team which came within a play-off victory of reaching' the NFL. championship game. It was the start of a generally frustrating career, infrequently marred by injury, often mired in defeat.

The 49ers during his tenure have finished in last place three times, most recently last fall when his arm went bad on him. "I compounded the problems, admitted "by never finding the source of the bad arm, although continued to play." And yet, with a winter and of rest, he came back to threw more completions for mor yards and more touchdowns (24) than any quarterback in the NFL. So what about his aging arm? "Obviously." he said, "It's not as strong as when I was a kid. But the distance isn't what you really need. It's s-peed with wbieh you throw.

And knowing where you throw. "At the age of 35, you know more about what's going on," Brodie also knows, finally, acceptance by Stadium audience which has been critical of his performance, challenged has dedication and sided with several challengers for his job over the years. "I never thought I wanted to 1 he mused. "I couldn't where there was a better way to go. I was never disenchanted with San Francisco.

It's where I come from and it has always been home." i Another quarterback across the Bay Georgt Blanda, age 43, of the Oakland, Raiders was the only serious competitor Brodie in voting.
