DALLAS, Tex. (AP) — Coach
Hayden Fry of Southern Meth-
odist scheduled “the toughest
Thursday workout ever” today
as he tried frantically to get his
team’s timing and execution to
match its mental and physical
preparation for Saturday’s Cot-
ton Bowl game with Georgia.
Bitter cold and a long layoff,
forced by the academic sched-
ule of the university caused the
Mustangs to falter with their
passing and ball handling as
Fry worked them long and hard
Wednesday afternoon.
“There was no question of
desire or effort, and I think my
boys are ready to go all out to
Win, but unless I can get better
timing and execution we won’t
have much chance to beat a
fine Georgia team,” said Fry
grimly.
“Today offers a last chance.
We’re really going to try, and I
may be unduly alarmed when I
find we just had one of those
days and had to work out the
rough spots before we could
start to function properly.”
Fry said he hadn’t been able
to have a full-scale workout
since Dec. 10.
I know. So I figure I’ll stick
around.”
There have been reported ru-
mors in recent months that
Bryant, 53, and a grandfather,
probably would answer the call
of a political career or at least
get off the firing line and relax
in an easy athletic director’s
chair.
“Not now,” the Bear said. "If
I'd planned to enter politics, I
would have made the move a
couple of years ago. The same
with anything else. No, I’m
afraid I’m stuck here for a
while — or they’re stuck with
me.”
Bryant’s 21-year head coach-
ing career started at Maryland
in 1945 and led him through
Kentucky and Texas A A M be-
fore winding up at his alma
mater in 1958.
Despite protests that he needs
to work for a livelihood, Bryant
is said to be independently
wealthy as a result of wise in-
vestments.
As head coach, his teams
have won 170 games, lost 51 and
tied 14—one of the best records
in modem football. His bowl
teams have won seven, lost four
and tied one. This is his eighth
straight bowl appearance.
Three of his Alabama teams
won national championships
the last two in a row before the
present team, which is the only
major unbeaten and untied elev-
en in the country.

, NEW ORLEANS. La. (AP) —
It’s bad news for Alabama’s
football rivals — Coach Paul
(Bear) Bryant isn’t thinking
about giving up his post and
going into something else.
"I was closer to getting out of
the profession two or three
years ago,” the favorite son of
Fordyce, Ark., said today as he

signment, a game against Ne-

Red China
(Conti meg from Page One)
Mainichi, said the fifth test was
believed to have increased the
amount of thermonuclear ma-
terial in the Chinese bomb. Con-
ducted in bad weather, the test
demonstrated the stepped-up
pitch in China’s nuclear devel-
opment, the newspaper said.
It added it will be some time,
however, before China is able to
reduce a hydrogen device to a
site capable of being delivered
by a missile.
Most Japanese estimates
were based on a study of micro-
barometer readings at the Japa-
nese Meteorological Agency.
Although the readings were not
high, one expert said they did
not exclude the possibility the
blast could have been a small
hydrogen bomb.
Official U. S. reaction was
scant. The U. S. Atomic Energy
Commission said only that the
Chinese test had a yield of "sev-
eral hundred” kilotons.

cle Tom^because the towering
fighter wouldn't call him Mu-
hammad Ali, the M'ishR’- name
Clay prefers, Clay slapped"Ter-
refi’s right arm and challenged
him to “fight it out right now”
at a Madison Square Garden
press conference.
The 6-foot-3 Clay doffed his
sports coat and tried to get at
Terrell while the 6-foot-6 Terrell
lunged at Clay. They were about
six feet apart in a jam-packed
small room in the Garden when
the action started.
Various handlers and
collaborated to keep
apart. /
Boxing veterans were
founded at the unprofessional-
like behavior of the two heavy-
weight champions, who are
scheduled to fight for prices
ranging to $100 top at the Hous-
ton Astrodome, Feb. 6. Terrell
is the World Boxing Associa-
tion’s champion while Clay is
regarded as champion in most
parts of the world.
If this was a publicity stunt,
then the acting was magnifi-
cent. Both Clay and Terrell
would have received top grades
fi;om the Actor’s Studio.
The nasty accusations made
by Clay may have hurt Ernie’s
feelings but the fracas certainly
helped return attention to the
upcoming fight.
By a strange coincidence, the
whole bit took place while a tel-
evision camera was grinding
and both were being interviewed
by Howard CoseM, the ABC
sports .commentator, in the box-
active sense of humor, claims
he developed the flat feet plow-
ing behind the mules on his fa-
ther's hog and peanut farm
back home.
When Dallas meets Green
Bay Sunday for the NFL title at
the Cotton Bowl, much will de-
pend on Reeves’ ability to move
those flat feet as a clutch run-
ner and pass receiver.
“I will be there no later than
Jan. 9 but I hope to arrive
sometime next week,” Rust
said from Palo Alto, Calif. X.
Rust has been an assistant
coach four years at Stanford
hnder John Ralston and has
been in charge of the defense
the past two seasons. Rust’s
recruiting area covered sev-
eral Southwestern states, in-
cluding Texas. , .
Rust Was line coach for three
years at the University of New
Mexico.
North Texas State is a mem-
ber of the Missouri Valley Con-
ference.
A native of Iowa, Rust at-
tended schools in Cedar Rapids
before attending Iowa State,\
where he earned three varsity
football letters.
Rust received his master’s
degree in 1956 after serving in
the army. He was a high school
coach for seven years in Iowa
at Webster City, Toledo, Belle
Plaine, Knoxville and Ottomwa
before going to the University
of New Mexico.
