laid its reputation on the line then stood firm against SATs closing surge Saturday to protect a 2222 decision and its No11 national rank The Mountaineers took the Mustangs' early punches and rolled back behind tailback Arthur Owens' dazzling footwork to nail their fourth victory of the season It was Owens' substitute Dwayne Woods who tied a can to the Ponies' tail however scoring three touchdowns for the Easten Conference visitors They were short junkets of 2 13 and 14 yards but nonetheless effective in an attack that counted 461 yards in total offense THE GAME was riddled with penalties13 for both turnovers Three of West Virginia's scores were promoted by SMU fumbles SMU lost four of seven in all in dropping its second game in four starts Say this for the scored first and had the Mountaineers on the ropes for the first time this year They took an early fumble and hammered back 67 yards to go ahead on Art Whittington's 42-yard nin SMU patrons in the sun-lcissed assembly of 27865 Cotton Bowlers went slightly delirous but the joy was of short duration West Virginia pounded back with a vengeance throwing Owens into the wrinkles in the SMU line repeatedly to tie the game at the end of the first quarter Woods went in from the 13: Bill McKenzie's placement matched the one earlier by SMU's Mark Embler and that was the last hurrah for the Mustangs BEFORE THE game was over the State Fair visitors saw Owens prance 171 yards on 19 carries which averages out as nine yards every time he touched the ball Woods his stand-in didn't do badly himself with a 103-yard performance to go with his three IDs West Virginia's other score came from fullback Ron Lee a one-yard thrust that broke the early deadlock and sent the Mountaineers winging Besides Whittington's 42-yard dash SMU's scoring consisted of a 34-yard field goal by Mark Embler a pass from Ricky Wesson that tight end Freeman Johns carried 80 yards into the end zone and fullback David Bostick's one-yard plunge in the last minute of the game By intermission the only definite pattern taking shape was that neither team could hang on to the ball The Ponies put all their firrst half points on the board after West Virginia miscues They got their first touchdown only 54 seconds after James Wright claimed James Vi'hght's bobble at the Pony 33 Wesson who was in for only one play until the last quarter got the Ponies going vith an 11-yard pass to David Bonilla Chuck Benefield his relief immediativ pitched out to Wayne Morris for 13 to West Virginia's that's where Whittington strutted his stuff HE WHEELED left tippytoed down the sidelines then cut back into the grain to go the rest of the way Moments later what seemed to be another ID on a 38-yard pass to Johns was canceled by a peanIty and West Virginia stormed back Steve Dunlap swiped a Benefield bobble and the Mountaineers drove 69 yards with Woods breaking four tackles for the final 13 In 12 12 seconds which ever is the scored again

ROCK Ark Arkansas continued its donination of TCU here Saturday night but it wasn't according to the predicted Wild West Massacre script The Razorbacks won the penalty-filled game 19-8 but not before an aroused Frog defense gave them fits and a revived TCU attack dominated much of the action Big plays especially by standout runners Jerry Eckwood and Ike Forte pulled Arkansas through Eckwood rushed for 162 yards and Forte for 84 For TCU Lee Cook connected on 17 passes for 227 yards and freshman fullback Raymond Woodard ran for 62 The real closeness of the game is told by the total offense figures 334 for TCU 338 for Ar- kansas and the fact that the Frogs ran 54 plays in the second half to 24 for the Porkers Arkansas' running power and its quick penetrating defense prevailed in the end but the Razorbacks could manage only a scoreless first quarter and a 6-0 halftime lead on two Steve Little field goals Two long drives in the second half gave the Hogs their victory sandwiched as they were among some long TCU marches only one of which paid off But for a key penalty the Frogs might have had the lead at the half After Little's first field goal gave Arkansas a 3-0 lead early in the second quarter Cook led the Frogs on a march from their 20 to the Hog 39 An interference penalty helped but Cook completed one pass for a first down and ran himself for another From the Arkansas 39 he hit Mike Renfro at the 20 and Renfro carried it to the 10 only to have a holding call force the Frogs back to their 42 where the drive stalled THE BIG PLAY OF THE HALF was a 73-yard dash by Eckwood who burst through the line at his own 18 broke three or four tackles put a hand on the ground once to keep his balance and finally was hauled down at the Frog 9 by Allen Hooker The Purples held as Tim Pulliam nailed Forte for a loss and made a fine play to stop Rolland Fuchs at the five on third down Then Little's kick was wide At the time the determined Frog stand preserved a 0-0 tie but Eckwood's run had put the Frogs in bad field position Moments later they wound up on their own one when Cook was trapped trying to pass Cook punted 51 yards but Eckwood returned to the TCU 34 and from there the Razorbacks punched to the 17 Then the Frogs held again and Little came in again to kick true giving Arkansas a 3-0 lead After TCU's aborted drive to the Hog 39 Arkansas came back determinedly They reached the TCU 44 but Dennis McGehee halted them with an interception When Raymond Woodard fumbled to Arkansas at the Frog 46 the Porkers regained the ball with in the half Forte and Eckwood ran the ball to the TC11 13 but again the Frog defenders rose up Scott O'Glee and others threw Forte for a four-yard loss Robert Dobry forced Scott Bull to throw incomplete Little came on again to boom a field goal for the 6-0 halftime margin THE THIRD QUARTER WAS MANGE TCU ran 28 plays to 11 for Arkansas yet the Hogs scored and the Frogs didn't The whole story was a big play for Arkansas and untimely penalties for the Frogs First TCU drove from its 20 to the Arkansas 24 mostly on runs by Woodard and Cook and some passes from Cook to Ronnie Littleton But Arkansas stopped them and a field goal was low and wide Then the Hogs padded their lead to 13-0 with an 80-yard march The key play was a 51-yard run by Bull which carried to the Frog four On the next down Forte drove over for the TD Back came the Frogs under Cook's direction From the TCU 20 he and Woodard again did the damage on runs and screen passes to reach Arkansas' 38 Then Cook found Ronald Parker in the middle to the 17 passed to Renfro to the 12 and ran to the 9 Then in order the Frogs were penalized 5 yards for motion 15 for an ineligible receiver and another 15 for another ineligible receiver That put them back on the Arkansas 44 A Cook throw to Renfro reached the 16 'but again a Rick kick was not good Again Arkansas' offense came back in Turn to Hogs on Page 6 yards in the first half and 158 yards total ruthing

Fisk scooted home to make the score 2-0 Armed with that lead Tiant was almost untouchable The 34-year-old right-hander with the herky-jerky motion mowed the As down blending fast balls and changeups

runs and scattered eight hits Saturday to lead the Cincinnati Reds to an 8-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the opening garne of the National League playoffs Gullett sidelined this season for more than two months by a broken thumb baffled the hard-hitting Pirates and provided the clincher with his fifth-inning shot to left field the first homer of his professional career The homer first by a Cincinnati pitcher this season came with teammate Ken Griffey aboard and completed a four-run bombardment that gave the Reds an 8-2 lead and broke on a tense duel between the two division champions who are bitter rivals Griffey also drove in three runs including the go-head runs in the third inning with a two-run double that broke a 2-2 tie and roited loser Jerry Reuss who was unable to continue a left-handed mastery over the Reds Cincinnati second baseman Joe Morgan demoralized the Pirates early in the game stealing three bases in the first three innings to set a trio of records Gullett a

and hooked until Memorial Stadium was a riotous mess If it was no more than a prolonged calisthenics session for the sixth-ranked Longhorns the 61-7 rout was a catastrophe for Rocky Mountain Aggics who would be the first to admit they were outclassed and out of their element TEXAS WAS A 34-point favorite among Austin oddsmakers and with that premonition the Longhorns hammered the visitors with cold unemotional havoc The Longhorns' victory their fourth straight of the season was significant only in the staggering statistics and scoring ratio They piled 544 yards upon the Aggies and out of 13 possessions scored nine touchdowns If the unstoppable Texas wishbone wasn't enough for the Utes they threw three interceptions two of which cost them touchdowns A fumble was turned into another Texas score Perhaps the Aggies can brag that they held Earl Campbell for 57 yards his shortest journey of the season But then Earl touched the ball only five times and retired after the first period But he broke the dam in the first period with a 4-yard touchdown run Quarterback Mary Akins engineered a 21-0 first-period lead for the Longhorns and he too went to the sideline But then he returned in the second half to kick two of three conversions the first time he got a real kick out of a football game since his high school days So for a change freshman Ted Constanzo worked up a sweat at quarterback

States surprising defense finally broke loose Saturday with an 80-yard drive capped by David Shipman's 31-yard touchdown scamper for a 10-0 football victory over the Wildcats Shipman's roll around the right side came with four minutes 56 seconds left in the third period Tony Franklin who converted after the touchdown kicked a 36-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter The Wildcats losing their first game in four outings were helpless offensively against the Aggies' defense ranked best in the nation But Kansas State still managed to produce more rushing yards than any of the unbeaten Aggies' three previous victims The Aggies started their touchdown drive on their own 20 after a 58-yard Kansas State punt Skip Walker started it with a five-yard run and Bubba Bean added live for a first down
