(AP) Running backs Tony Dorsett of Pittsburgh and Ricky Bell of Southern California were the only repeaters on the 1976 Kodak All-America football team Wednesday. 'Dorsett, college football's alltime rushing leader, was the top votegetter in balloting by the American Football Coaches Association, which selected the team.

Quarterback Tom Kramer of Rice and fullback Rob Lytel of Michigan rounded out the offensive backfield. Others chosen are: Offense tight end, Ken Mac-Fee, Notre Dame; split Larry Seivers, Tennessee; tackles, Warren Bryant, Kentucky, and Mike Vaughan, Oklahoma; guards, Joel Parrish, Georgia, and Chris Ward, Ohio State; center Derrell Gofourth, Oklahoma State; kicker, Steve Little, Arkansas.

Football today NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE Buffalo at Detroit St. Louis at Dallas COLLEGE STATE Northern Illinois at Kent State OTHERS Texas at Texas, night Colgate at Rutgers, night By Ihm Associated Press Rutgers goes after a perfect season, East Carolina and Appalachian State play for the Southern Conference championship and Texas will be out to avoid embarrassment tonight in college football.

Rutgers, which has won 17 straight games, the country's longest major college winning streak, entertains Colgate. Appalachian State visits East Carolina. And Texas hosts Texas The Texas-Texas clash doesn't mean nearly as much as it has in past seasons. Neither team has a chance to win the Southwest Conference. has already agreed to play in the Sun Bowl against Florida while Texas has been uninvited for the first time in years.

But this remains a big game for the once-mighty Longhorns. Texas has had a winning season every year since Darrell Royal took over as head coach in 1957, and the Longhorns have never lost more than four games a season during that stretch. They are 4-4-1 going into this contest. And they have one game left against Arkansas Dec. 4.

Royal blames his problems, in part, on a rash of injuries. Star fullback Earl Campbell, still bothered by leg injuries, will miss the game. Texas has been trying to find a dependable quarterback all season the credentials to win it. Writers have a tendency to be influenced by other writers. Players know more about what things should be considered and know more about the game," said Foster.

Morgan, who actively sought MVP votes for Foster during the season, mounted his repeat bid by bettering most of his stunning 1975 statistics. The first second baseman in 26 years to drive in more than 100 runs, Morgan had career highs with 27 homers and 111 runs batted in, hit .320, drew 114 walks and stole 60 bases. Foster, whose bat carried the Reds through the first half of the season, led the majors with 121 RBI, but suffered from a fatal 4-for-44 plunge late in the season when he was in position to challenge for the elusive batting Triple Crown.
