PAGE SIX THE WAXAHACHIE DAILY LIGHT Sunday, August 15, 1971 Cowboys Lasso Saints By 36-21 By ED FITE UPI Sports Writer DALLAS (UPI)-Roger Staubach whipped 69 and 81-yard touchdown bombs to Bob Hayes and Margene Adkins and Austrian soccer star Toni Fritsch kicked 46 and 50-yard field goals to send the Dallas Cowboys winging to a 36-21 preseason victory over Orleans Saturday night. Staubach, who hit seven of 17 passes for 182 yards and had four others dropped, also picked a 10-yard scoring strike to Adkins to give the Cowboys a 270 ha If time lead that the Dallas defense never let be threatened. The defense, in fact, set up two of the three first half Dallas touchdowns as well as both of field goals, and safety Cliff Harris romped 66 yards with a Julian Fagan fourth quarter punt for another six points. Rookie David Conway booted a 49-yarder to cap the Cowboys scoring. The prized No.

1 draftee, Archie Manning from Ole Miss, played the second half and was at the throttle for all three New touchdowns. one on a 10-yard Manning-to-Tony Baker pass, one on a one-yard plunge by Hoyle Granger and sneaked one yard for the third one himself. Manning was under constant pressure from the defense and wound up being trapped six times for a total of 68 yards. But, Manning absorbed the beating and put on a few dazzling scrambles from trouble, including 31 yards of the Saints' 71yard inaugural TD drive. Manning wound up hitting nine of 22 for 86 yards, while starter Edd Hargett, who played the first half, could connect on but three of 14 for 48 yards.

Craig Morton, fighting to keep his starting quarterback job from Staubach, managed but four out of 10 for 66 yards and eventually turned the job over to rookie Steve Gospel of Colgate, who showed flashes of brilliance against the tired Saints.

By BILL YEOMAN Head Coach University of Houston HOUSTON am always apprehensive when it comes to predicting a football season because there are just too many unknowns. As far as the University of Houston Cougars are concerned, we probably have farther to go than at anytime in the last five years. We lost in quality and experience, a fact borne out by having 11 of our players drafted by the pros. I believe you could say we face a rebuilding program.

Defensively, our losses have precipitated a significant number of changes. In an effort to get older, more experienced players on the field, our defensive coaches moved Mike Bolin from tackle to strong linebacker, Kent Branstetter from defensive end to defensive tackle and Bob Kyle from defensive end to weak linebacker. Frank Ditta returns as middle linebacker. There as much movement in the secondary mainly because there wasn't anyone to move. Three of the four starters are gone with Ronny Peacock the lone returnee at cornerback.

The effort and enthusiasm in the spring was excellent, mainly because everyone recognized how much improvement had to be made to have any chance of being a halfway decent team. The front Brezina, Steve George, Kent Branstetter and Eric larger than any defensive line we have had. But, unfortunately, they are not as quick as those who preceded them. Regardless, they must develop quickly. Our opener with Rice will necessitate a great pass rush, and our next game with Arizona State will expose them to backs with great speed.

Our ability to cope with the first two teams will go a long way toward determining how- good we can be. Everyone behind this group is a sophomore. While Phil Hahn, Perry Geiser, Bill Lewis and Bill Stohler are extremely enthusiastic, they are more apt to make the costly error. The segment of our defense under the most severe pressure will be our secondary. They will be new and possibly not as capable physically as some we have had.

At the end of spring practice, it appeared the Peacock brothers, Ronny and Randy would man the corners with some help from Willie Walker. At free safety, letterman Nick Holm is pretty firm with Jerre Sykes providing some help. Burl Fuller may have fallen heir to strong safety when the man challenging him, Bill Burchett, suffered badly burned legs in a summer job mishap and will be out for the season. Offensively, our losses are substantial, though not as pronounced as on defense. Gone is great wide receiver Elmo Wright.

Back to fill his shoes are Pat Orchin and Willie Roberts. Orchin has proven very steady, has good speed and is an excellent competitor. Roberts has outstanding ability but has not shown the consistency of concentration that could make him great. Our backfield returns intact and this should be a big plus. Fullback Robert Newhouse and running back Tommy Mozisek have been very consistent runners and their improvement as blockers should help substantially.

In the spring, Puddin Jones, Steve Smith and Leonard Parker gave an indication of providing severe pressure on our first two backs. If Gary Mullins could regain his full quarterback effectiveness from a 1970 knee injury it certainly would increase the overall pressure by our offense. The knee appears to be sound. In any case, Joel DeSpain and Terry Peel, with the addition of D.C. Nobles off the frosh team, should provide help not available last year.

The offensive line, though losing three to the pros, was fairly effective in the spring. Charlie Moore and Steve Cloud, both seniors, give us great leadership and consistency on the left side. David Bourquin indicated he had recovered from a high school ankle injury and enjoyed a good spring at right guard. Luke Stungis, a squadman, and red-shirted Ken Baugh are battling at right tackle and development at this position could be critical. The center post is still unsettled with LeRoy Fisher, Bill Reed and Glen Riske in contention.

And, tight end is manned by Riley Odoms, a youngster who was much improved in the spring but still short of what he can be. Our team will have to play over mistakes early until the youngsters can develop familiarity. To play over mistakes requires a singleness of purpose and a staggering amount of effort. I realize all coaches say this, but one of the wonderful things about football is that it is true.

WHS Indians Launch Grid Practice Monday Bears To Fare Better This Year CHICAGO Jim Dooley enthusiastically expects improvement in his Chicago Bears in 1971 despite so many- unknown factors that he must be using a crystal ball to guide his prediction. As of now, Jack Concannon is the quarterback for the first few exhibition games.

Bobby Douglass has been guaranteed a shot at the job in the last few. The first unknown for Dooley is which one will be the starter for the regular season. Or whether rookie Ron Maciejowski or rookie Buddy Lee, now injured, can break through. Seven players, including Gale Sayers, are returning after knee surgery. Most of them have been kept out of uniform on training, and most play in the exhibition games.

Along with Sayers are All-League linebacker Dick Butkus, a former All-League offensive guard, Howard Mudd, tight ends Bob Wallace and Jim Hester, offensive tackle Randy Jackson and defensive tackle Bill Staley. Which of them will be ready, and how ready, is another unknown. Hope For Rookies Dooley obviously places great confidence in four rookies, Joe Moore, Jim Harrison, Dennis Ferris and Willie Lewis, to become dependable running backs. Sayers, who once before one of 14 games, might become sensational again. If he some of the rookies have to come through since the rest of the bears backs are journeymen such as Craig Baynham, Don Shy and Mike Hull.

Ronnie Bull and Ross Montgomery were traded off before training camp. There could be more strength in the offensive line and the defense could be improved. Veterans Willie Holman, Ed George Seals and Staley fort. The defensive line with rookie Tony McGee and Dave Hale certain to help. The linebacking crew of Doug Buff one, Leroy Caffey, Ross Brupbacher, John Neidert and Jimmy Gunn could be better than adequate even without Butkus.

Improvements Expected The defensive backfield, without Bennie McRae but with Bob Jeter, should be improved on experience alone. Butch Davis might take over a nerback spot, or perhaps move back to one of the safety positions, with Phil Clark on the other side. Ron Smith, Joe Taylor, or Garry Lyle or rookie Charlie Ford also figure. Indians will open their football practice Monday morning at 7 at Indian Field, Coach G.A. Glenn stated Saturday.

Among the WHS gridders St. Louis 11 Slips Past Houston ST. LOUIS, Mo. (UPI)Safety Larry Wilson blocked a punt and recovered the ball for a touchdown to spark St. Louis to a 16-14 victory over the Houston Oilers Saturday night and give new head coach Bob Hollway a victory in the preseason opener.

Kicking specialist Jim Bakken booted a pair of field goals and his rookie backup, George Jakowenko, added another for St. Louis. Wilson darted in from the left side late in the second period to block the punt attempt by Dan Pastorini on the 15-yard line. The veteran all-pro safety caught up with the bouncing ball at about the eight, gained full possession on the two and stumbled over for the touchdown. Bakken added the extra point to knot the score at 7-7.

Jakowenko was called in to give the Cardinals the lead with a 38-yard field goal with only five seconds remaining in the first half. The Cardinals had taken a punt on their own 11 with only 1:48 remaining but Jim Hart connected on four straight passes to move the ball to the 31, setting up first professional score. Bakken added kicks of 15 and 25 yards in the third period to pad the lead. reporting Monday for two drills per day until the opening of school are 15 returning lettermen.

(UPI) -Top-seeded and defending champion Cliff Richey and second-seeded Zeljko Franulovic scored semi-final victories Saturday to advance to the singles finals Sunday in Graham Survives Penalty SUTTON, Mass. Graham survived a rare one- stroke penalty on the 18th hole Saturday after firing a near- record six-under on the front nine to take the 54-hole lead in the $165,000 Massachusetts Classic.

The 33-year-old Graham picked up a piece of tree bark while playing his final hole and drew the penalty when his ball rolled a few inches several minutes later. The penalty stroke gave Graham, who has won only one tour event in seven years, a 68 for the round and 207 total, one stroke better than Ray Floyd, tour rookie Jim Jewell and Bruce Crampton. George Johnson and John Schlee, the 36-hole co-leaders, dropped away from the leaders in a round that attracted a gallery of 27,130 to Pleasant Valley Country Club but several others moved right in to challenge the new leader. Graham, whose lone tour victory came in 1967, admitted that honestly feel that I had incurred a penalty but what a PGA official, Jack Sterling, told Floyd shot a 69 for a 208 total while Jewell, who has never broken into the top 50 in a tour event before, matched the course competitive record with a 65 for a similar 208 total. Crampton, playing with Jewell, matched his 65 to move into a second place tie.
