However, Texas, which faces high-powered Oklahoma next Saturday, was often punchless near the Rice goal.

Texas stalled at the Rice 31, 21,8 and 11, with the barefooted Goodson drilling field goals. Early in the fourth quarter, Texas passed up an almost-certain field goal and Rice held Texas on fourth down just inches from the goal line. Texas' first touchdown came on a 1-yard plunge by A.J. "Jam" Jones, the nation's fourth-leading rusher, after a pass interference call in the end zone gave Texas a first down at the Rice 1 late in the first quarter. Sub quarterback Jon Aune threw 13 yards to Les Koenning for Texas' final touchdown with less than a minute remaining in the game.

The field goals by Goodson, a sophomore who was put on scholarship at midweek, carried 48, 39, 25 and 28 yards. Rice quarterback Randy Hertel hit Earl Cooper with a short toss over a blitzing linebacker, and Cooper turned it into a 68-yard pass-, run play for a Rice touch- Cougar FGs crack Bears HOUSTON (AP) Houston kicker-cornerback Ken Hatfield finally cracked determined Baylor with fourth-quarter field goals of 29 and 32 yards Saturday to rally the sixth-ranked Cougars to a.13-10 Southwest Conference football victory. Baylor, which had taken a 10-7 lead into the fourth quarter, dropped to 2-1 record in SWC games as the defending champion Cougars won their SWC opener. The Bears capitalized on a fumble by UH quarterback Delrick Brown on Houston's first offensive play of the game and took a 3-0 lead on Robert Bledsoe's 40-yard field goal. Lester Ward recovered Brown's fumble at the Cougar 25.

Brown came right back with a 17-yard touchdown strike to John Newhouse, who caught the ball at the 2- yard line and slipped into the end zone. Baylor quarterback Mickey Elam then rallied Baylor to its 10-7 halftime lead with a 78-yard pass-run play to Walter Abercrombie. Abercrombie caught the ball between two Cougar defenders and outran them to the goal line. After a scoreless third period, the Cougars drove to Baylor's 12 where Hatfield tied the game with his 29- yarder with 14:12 left in me game. The Cougars returned to Bear territory moments later for Hatfield's 32-yard boot.

The winning points were set up by a 32-yard run by Newhouse.

Guard Alan Williams also his thumb and Charles Vaclavik, a specialist on the return teams, sat out part of the game with an injury. Jones finished with 24 carries for 146 yards, which is slightly above his average per-game rushing.

Goodson, who kicked four field goals in Texas' 21-0 win over Missouri last week, tried for a school record fifth field goal late in the fourth quarter. His 49-yard attempt was long enough but drifted wide. On the next play from scrimmage, All-America Jbhnnie Johnson intercepted a Hertel pass and raced to the Rice 4. A clipping penalty, however, pushed Texas back to the Rice 35. From the Rice 13, Aune raced to his right, stopped and fired back to Koenning, who caught the ball falling at the left side of the Rice end zone.

Penalties severely crippled the Texas offense as the Longhorns were flagged 14 times for 129 yards. The school record for penalties is 17, in the Rice game last year. On. Rice's first-half field goal drive of 67 yards, 49 yards came on Texas penalties.

Arkansas rallies to nip TCU, 16-13 FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) Kevin Scanlon's 51- yard pass to tight end Darryl Mason set up Ish Ordonez' 44-yard field goal with seven seconds to play and gave 13th-ranked Arkansas a come-from-behind 16-13 victory Saturday night over winless Texas Christian.

Linebacker Mike Massey picked off Kevin Haney off- balance pass and returned it 30 yards for a touchdown that pulled Arkansas to within one point, 13-12, midway through the final period. Arkansas disdained the two-point conversion try and tied it on Ordonez' extra- point kick. Two 53-yard punts by TCU's Cameron Young kept the Razorbacks in poor field position after that, but Scanlon dropped back from his own 18 with 2:31 remaining and found Mason alone at midfield a step behind two TCU defenders. The slashing running of senior Craig Richardson led the Horned Frogs in their valiant upset bid. He gained a careerhigh 110 yards in 20 carries.

Ordonez also kicked field goals of 26 and 24 yards as Arkansas, 4-0, beat TCU for the 21st straight time. Jimmy Allen's one-yard that gave TCU a 7-3 halftime lead.
