Hit or Miss
by DAVID EVERMAN
Another flae weekend has passed for Texas footbalf--one that
made Darrel Royal ill, made Bill Peterson feel fired--not fired
up, just fired, and will most likely make Tom Landry start calling
plays again.
The game (using the term loosely) that happened Saturday at
the Cotton Bowl would have done my heart good had I seen it,
but I went to a Cotton Festival Parade at about the middle of the
second quarter, so I only saw the first five or six Oklahoma
touchdowns (Just kidding, folks Honest). OU's passing attack
was. great, and surprised you and me (and in all probability
shocked Steve Davis more than a little bit). ,
And the Cowboys. Gadsf But you have to admit that when the
Cowboys mess something up, they do it in a grand style that is all
their ownS. All the defense but a cornerback and a free safety
played great, and all but one man oI offense played well. I am
waiting for next Sunday's game against the Giants to see if Craig
Morton gets his job back. If Roger Dodger does less than
super-duper, Tom Landry will start shuttling tight ends again.
And if Staubach does like he did Sunday, my man Morton will
end up under center again and everything will be peachy-dandy.
If Morton doesn't get the reins, maybe Landry will make
Stanbach quit passing so much, since Roger obviously cannot see
a receiver in time to stay out from under a defensive end.
1 ain't saying nothing about the Oilers. Except of course, for
the fact that they seem to have a stranglehold on last place in the
AFC Central Division.
The Arabs are on the high horse again, thinking that because
their countries happen to be placed over three-fourth of the
world's oil deposits they can attack smaller nations with
impunity. Regardless of the fact that the smaller nation they
a' tacked is whipping all the Bedouins, and could probably do just
fine if left alone. Take Syria...please. (With apologies to Henny
Youngman.) Syria decided to jump on the Israelis, who at the
time were having troubles with Egypt and Co., and Israel turned
around, beat the stuffings out of the Syrian army, and now is
about fifteen or twenty miles from the Syrian capitol. Hoo-ray for
Golds, hoo-ray for Golda .....
Anyway, the Arabs have evidently decided that they can force
the United-States into leaving Israel alone by threatening to cut
offour oil. Pish, I say. I hate to tell these riders of the camels that
our Middle East ally will get American aid as long as there is an
America to give aid...or had better, anyway.
Atlanta, Georgia, seems to be having its troubles as of late. A
black and a white are running against each other for mayorl and
everything was nice and polite until the black guy started leading
in the polls, and then something started to hit the fan. Now the
white guy is yelling and screaming that half of Atlanta will leave
town if a black mayor is elected. That's a threat???
Clareadon College is opening its season with a scrimmage
Saturday against Cameron State College of Lawton, Oklahoma. I
am an alumnus (of sorts) of Cameron, and besides, Cameron won
its conference litt year and only the fact: that they were not
accredited kept them from going to the nationals, so we all can
guess who I amgoing to be rooting for. You're wrongl I won't be
rooting for anybody, since basketball never turned me on too
much in the first place. (Anyway, I'll just yell for CC, and
everybody can give the benefit of a doubt.)
A federal Crime Commission is getting lenient on us again.
They recommended that no sentences of more than five years be
given un/ess to muderers, professional criminals and pemisten
dangerous offenders. Wow, man, that's beginning to sound a bit
liberal, ain't it?
Besides, if you don't send people to prison, you will cut down
on the recidivism rate (What a word[). I bet you thought I was
saying something really bad there, didn't you?
All ear gentle readers should be thankful for a favor thrown
their way Sunday afternoon and throw a curse at the fashion of
wearing one's pants cuff dragging thq floor. Our ,very own
photographer, 'while descending the steps to an apartment
building the other day, stepped on his pants cuff and came but a
hair's breadth from taking twenty steps in one big tumble and
landing fiat on his head. Our reading public had better be
thankful for that, because if he had gone you would not be seeing
"Press Photo by Richard Allen" under the pictures but "Hastily
