quarter and were down 15 to

outshot the Honey Bees by on-
ly a bucket in the third but still

period was the best of the
game for the Bulldogs as they

Rams staggered to a 9-7
record and the National Con-

before finally reaching the
pinnacle with playoff victories
over Dallas and Tampa Bay.
Yet the Rams are outsiders
— in more than one way.
They will be wearing their
road uniforms next Sunday in
the Rose Bowl in nearby
Pasadena, the setting for the
Super Bowl, because this is
the American Conference’s
year to play the role of host

* And, like pioneers circling
the wagons to fend off at-

ing closer together to ward off
what they perceive to be un-
warranted assaults by sports
writers, including some from
the Los Angeles area.

agressive and fast moving
Everman Bulldogs too tough
to handle Monday night as

visiting JVs 69 to 40.

the Jacket defenders.

said Doug France, an offen-
sive tackle. “They act like
we’re not supposed to be in the
Super Bowl. And some of the
local writers — just a couple
— who were against us have
jumped back on the boat. ”
Dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed by Coach Ray
Malavasi as well. “I'd call it
inaccurate journalism," he
said of some of the stories
about his Rams. “They (the
writers) don’t know what’s go-
ing on. We both have good
teams and winning records
and deserve to be here."
France said the mood has
been such that a few of the
Rams have even thought of
boycotting the hundreds of
sports writers massing here to
cover this annual spectacle. It
is highly unlikely, though, that
any boycott will occur. The
NFL simply won’t permit it.
“It is the Rams' responsibility
to cooperate with the news
media and if they don’t, we
will see that they do,” Don
Weiss, the NFL’s executive
director (Commissioner Pete
Rotelie’s right-hand man)
said when the boycott rumble
first surfaced.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -
Senior tackle Steve -
McMichael, who anchored a
Texas defense that fias been
called one of the best in
Southwest Conference history,
has been selected as the most
valuable player on tM 1979
Longhorn football team.
The MVP choice was made
by his teammates.
The Steelers, r ‘
favorites, were very low key
when they arrived here Mon-
day. "Just another game."
defensive back Mel Blount

teammates deplaned.

“I'm disappointed the
Cowboys lost," Steelers defen-
sive tackle Joe Greene .said
back when the Cowboys were
eliminated. "We’re the best
and we want to play against •
the best.”
The Steelers, of now. are the
best — or so the record books
say. No other team has ever
won three Super Bowls. Only
the Steelers. Green Bay
Packers and Miami Dolphins
managed to win successive
Super Bowls but no team has
ever done that twice.
But then, no team which
went into the Super Bow l as a
double-digit favorite came out
a winner — Baltimore losing
to the New York Jets and Min-

Coach Ray Meyer and
DePaul finally are going to get
a chance to live with a No.l
ranking. But for UCLA, col-
lege basketball's wonder team
of the 1960s and 70s. the story
is new — life without a
number. .2
Meyer ended 37 years of -
waiting for a No.l ranking
Monday when DePaul replac-
ed Duke as the top team in The
Associated Press college
basketball poll. The Blue
Demons, 12-0 and ranked se-
cond last week, received 51 of
60 first-place votes and 1,189 of
a possible 1,200 points in the
nationwide balloting of sports
writers and broadcasters.
“It’s quite an honor, we’ve
never been No.l, you know."
said Meyer, who earlier this
season recorded his 600th
points following loses to Clem-
son and North Carolina.
Ohio State, ranked third last
week, got four first-place
votes and 1,116 points — 24
more than Syracuse, which
got the final five first-place
votes. Oregon State also made
a big move, jumping from do.9
to fourth. The Beavers, 15-1,
collected 959 points.

The Associated Press re-
tains a record of only the final
poll of each season, and a
check showed that the last
time UCLA did not appear in
the final poll was the spring of
1966.
Duke, which held the No.l
spot the past four weeks, slip-
ped to No.5 behind Ohio State,
Syracuse and Oregon State.
The Blue Devils, received 846
career coaching victory. “In a
way, it’s a penalty because
from here on in we have to be
good every night.”
But it’s a challenge Meyer
said his team will look for-
ward to.
"The boys like being No.l,"
be said. "They’re proud of it
and I’m sure they’re going to
want to stay there."
And just as Monday's poll
ended Meyer’s wait, it also
ended UCLA’s stay in the Top
20. For the first time in
perhaps as long as 14 years,
the Bruins were not ranked.
“I believe this is the first
time we’ve been unranked
since the 1965-66 season," said
UCLA sports information
director Vic Kelley, referring
to the year when the Bruins

mented that the Stephenville
JVs weren’t playing their best
overall ball last night. He
pointed out that the disappoin-
ting loss to Brownwood last
week which saw them give up
the victory in the final
quarter, may have been one
reason they were down.
"We just didn’t play with
good concentration,” Brown
commented. "We made too
many turnovers and missed
too many scoring oppor-
tunities. We missed enough
shots from the line to keep us
in the game."
Gil Ayers led the Jacket

ly substantial offense for the
local boys with 14 points.
