Freshmen seek first win;
Jayvees ready for Chapel Hill
The Sulphur Springs Wildcat
Junior Varsity football squad is
hoping for two things when
Chapel Hill comes to Wildcat
Stadium Thursday night: a
rejuvenated passing attack
which has faltered in the past
two weeks and a bit of
cooperation from Mother
Nature. Kickoff is slated for
7:30.
On the other hand, the Fresh-
man unit, which is scheduled
for a 5:30 kickoff , is hoping for
whatever it requires to put the
first notch in the win column.
Hie Freshman Wildcats have
played better-than-average
football In their first three
encounters but have been
victimized by the "big play,”
forcing them the settle for two
ties against one defeat.
In the season opener against
North Lamar, the Freshman
squad found Itself inside the
Panther 20-yard line on three
different occasions and could
not score points, resulting in a 0-
0 deadlock. "That game was a
good defensive showing for us
but an offensive nightmare,"
Freshman head coach Steve
Armstrong said. “And against
Athens in the second game we
played good football but gave
up two big plays which put us in
a hole and we could not climb
out.”
After the Wildcats drove 72
yards for the games first score,
Athens scored on two aerial
bombs, a 50 and a 45-yarder, to
hand Sulphur Springs a 16-7
defeat. And against Mount
Pleasant last week, the Wild-
cats were forced to fight not
only a tough Tiger team but a
stubborn Mother Nature as
well. An electrical storm forced
both games into eight minute
quarters and in the rain neither
team was up to its potential,
which resulted in the second 0-0
tie for Sulphur Springs. The
game’s only touchdown, a 58-
yard run by Wildcat tailback
Scotty Goodson, was called
back on a clipping penalty.
The Wildcat Junior Varsity
brings a 2-1 mark into niursday
night’s contest, posting wins
over North Lamar, 12-6 in the
opener, 24-6 over Athens and an
Starr appreciates
Landry concern
By DENNEH. FREEMAN
AP Sport! Writer
DALLAS (AP) - Tom
Landry can remember the hard
times...that expansion year in
1960 when the Dallas Cowboys
didn’t win a game.
Which is why he called Green
Bay Packer Coach Bart Stan-
two weeks ago to tell him to
hang in there.
Starr disclosed that fact to the
Dallas media Tuesday in a
telephone hookup before
Landry’s weekly press lun-
cheon.
The Milwaukee Journal
reported Tuesday that the
executive committee of the
Packers Is close to making a
decision to fire Starr.
The Cowboys meet the
Packers in Milwaukee Sunday.
The Journal quoted a
member of the commiteee as
saying “I think that a lot of the
board members are going to be
waiting to see what happens in
the Dallas game next Sunday."
Landry admitted he called
Starr because he "was a friend
who has been suffering" in the
win-loss column.
“I think the world of Tom
landry and he called me after
they had lost the Denver game
because he had read some
things about my situation
here," said Starr.
“I appreciated that. He told
me that everybody goes
through a down period from
time to time.”
Starr, who has yet to have a
winning season as a coach,
although he was the quar-
terback on two National
HOUSTON (AP) - Thomas
"Hollywood" Henderson says
he taught San Francisco
linebackers all of his
linebacking secrets before
being waived and now he’ll do
the same for the Houston Oilers.
Henderson, 27, who was
waived by the 49ers last Friday
and after he became a free
agent on Monday, he said he
wanted to play for the Houston
Oilers and would even play free
the first two weeks.
"If they like me, they can
make my contract retroac-
tive," Henderson said. “I want
to play for Houston. I have
friends there and Texas is my
home. It would be like a dream
cone true. I wanted to play for
the OUers when I left Dallas."
Henderson was waived by
Pallas Cowboys Coach Tom
Landry last November after a
series of Incidents when Hen-
derson missed practices or was
late for meetings.
The 49ers later signed Hen-
derson but he reportedly missed
25 practice sessions and was
waived by Coach Bill Walsh.
“After I taught all the 49er
linebackers my secrets, they
got rid of me,” Henderson said
"I think Walsh wanted to go
with a young player. I was a
litle too smart for my own good
I’d try to tell a guy something
and I’d get in the way of die
coaches.”
Henderson's salary with the
49ers was reportedly $125,000
annually plus incentive
8-0 defeat at the hand of Mount
Pleasant last week.
"We don’t know much about
Chapel Hill’s Junior Varsity but
we are expecting them to come
out in the same formations as
their Varsity,” Wildcat Jayvee
coach V.T. Smith says.
“Defensively we’re expecting
them to use the 4-3, four down
linemen with three linebackers,
and offensively they should line
up in the Power I with a
wingback in close. If they are
like the Varsity much of the
time they will line up in a
tandem set (three backs and
two tight-ends) and two of the
backs will lead the tailback
through the line. We’re looking
for the majority of the action to
happen between our defensive
tackles because they are a very
basic offensive team,” Smith
added.
The Wildcats have been
paced the past two games by
the outside running of Anthony
Mosely and the inside power
running of fullback David
Murray, who had 169 yards
against Athens and led the
rushers with 41 against Mount
Pleasant. In addition, the
Wildcats are hoping for more
from their passing game
against Chapel Hill. Quar-
terback Craig Ashmore was one
of 10 for 14 yards against Mount
Pleasant and was intercepted
three times. In the season
opener Ashmore was 10 of 16 for
146 yards.
The Sulphur Springs Eighth
Grade A and B units will travel
to Chapel Hill Thursday night.
Football League champion
Green Bay teams that vic-
timized Dallas, is 1-2 this
season.
The Cowboys have whipped
Washington and Tampa Bay,
with a 41-20 loss to Denver
sandwiched in the middle.
"It shows you something
about Landry that he called me
after the Denver loss,” said
Starr. "It was really en-
couraging.”
Landry said, "I talk to
coaches from time to time. I
like to talk to Bart every once in
a while. ’’
Landry was asked if he got
any calls in Dallas' dismal
years.
“I didn’t get many calls," he
said, laughing. “I guess
everybody figured I was on my
way out.”
He added, "Bart didn’t call,
but he was almost responsible
for me on my way out by the
way he beat us every time we
played the Packers.”
Landry said he feared a fired
up Packer team Sunday.
"It’s been a very unusual
season in the NFL,” said
Landry. “You see games where
a team has been wiped out, like
Green Bay at Los Angeles
Sunday, then you see them
come bouncing back like we did
against Tampa Bay.
"It would be a mistake for us
to underestimate Green Bay.
They Just might rise up.
Sometimes it’s hard to convince
players that other professionals
are as good as they are. Green
Bay is capable of playing much
better."

Will George crow
again this time?
By WILL GRIMSLEY
AP Special Correspondent
Okay, George, let’s hear
you crow.
The one disarming facet of
the New York Yankees’ mad
September dash toward
possibly another American
league pennant and World
Series title is that it gives
George Steinbrenner, the
doting owner, a chance to
gloat.
“See, I told you so,"
George can say, leaning
back in the swivel chair in
his ship-building
headquarters in Tampa,
Fla., and proudly surveying
what another of his highly
controversial little
strategems hath wrought.
The Yankees’ autumn
surge, eighteen victories in
21 games this month to cool
the pressure of the
Baltimore Orioles, has
muted critics and con-
founded psychologists.
Has the Yankees’ sudden
spurt been the result of the
boss’ public spanking a
month ago? Or is it just a
coincidence, a part of the
natural ebb and flow of a
long, arduous campaign?
Most observers will
subscribe to the latter view.
It’s the natural character of
sport — win some, lose
some, slump and spurt, have
patience and everything
ultimately will fall into
proper place.
Few find justification for
Steinbrenner’s periodic
lockerroom intrusions —
although basically it’s his
lockerroom. Press criticism
pours over his head like
falling rain.
A month ago, the Yankees,
who had a 9^ game lead in
mid-July, suddenly went into
a tailspin, losing six out of
eight games to arch rival
Baltimore and continuing to
lose ground on a trip to the
West Coast. The once-fat
cushion melted to half a
game.
That’s when Steinbrenner,
sitting in his Tampa office
with the team 3,000 miles
away, erupted like Mt. St.
Helen’s. The team wasn’t
producing, he charged. He
singled out Rick Cerone,
Eric Soderholm and Bob
Watson for criticism. He
said pitchers Ron Guidry
and Tom Underwood weren’t
carrying their load.
He even took a stab at
Reggie Jackson, whose
productive bat had carried
the club through the hot
summer months, and
dropped a veiled threat to his
rookie manager, Dick
Howser. Win or else, he
inferred.
The whole clubhouse
seethed. The press had a
field day at the expense of
one of its favorite targets.
Steinbrenner was royally
roasted — deservedly so,
many felt.
Within days, the Yankees
were acting as if they had
been Jabbed with a pit-
chfork. Watson became a
terror at the plate.
Soderholm started knocking
in key runs. Cerone became
a carbon copy of the late
Thurman Munson. The
pitching corps jelled.
The rest is history. In the
ensuing weeks the Yankees
played phenomenal baseball
to pull away from the red-
hot, mound-rich Orioles.
Quick now. Did George do
it? Did his blast arouse tired
blood? If so, it defies all
psychological logic.
Everybody knows modern
ball players are hardened
sophisticates, immune to
that “Win for the Gipper”
mush. It was all just an
accident.
But who’s gonna tell
George?
bonuses.
“I worked a lot of years to get
the contract I’ve got,” Hen-
derson said. “I like it. I don't
want to take a step backwards.
I don’t have a million-dollar
contract, but it is in six figures.
I don't want to feel I’m going
from riches to rags.”
Henderson’s contract with the
49ers could be a problem if he
tries to sign with the Oilers. The
Oilers say Henderson’s contract
is not in line with their salary
structure.
Oiler all-pro linebacker
Robert Brazile, who makes a
reported $90,000 annually,
walked out of training camp in a
salary dispute.
Running back Earl Campbell,
guard David Carter and
linebacker Ted Thompson all
were expected to play in Sun-
day’s game against the Cin-
cinnati Bengals.
Campbell relnjured a groin
pull last week against
Baltimore and Carter reinjured
his arm but both are expected to
play. Thompson had missed two
games with a hyper-extended
knee.

Lead the way
Wildcat wide receiver Jerry Riley (26) leads the way for
tailback Vance Sims (66) Friday night against Mount Pleasant
in Wildcat Stadium. Sims led the Sulphur Springs rushers with
77 yards on 23 carries, but the Tigers edged the Wildcats 28-26 in
a come-from behind victory. Sulphur Springs travels to Chapel
Hill Friday night for an 8:00 kickoff.

By HERSCHEL NISSENSON
AP Sports Writer
They are only 17 miles apart
in Central New Jersey, Prin-
ceton and Rutgers, but they are
getting farther apart all the
time in their football
philosophies.
And so it is that come
Saturday, 111 years after they
played what is generally con-
sidered to be the first in-
tercollegiate football game,
Princeton and Rutgers will call
it quits after their 71st con-
frontation.
Forever? There are no plans
to resume the rivalry.
Rutgers, the State University
of New Jersey, is upgrading its
football program, scheduling
teams like Penn State, Ten-
nessee, Alabama, Auburn and
Pittsburgh, some of them in
76,000-seat Giants Stadium in
the New Jersey Meadowlands.
Rutgers defeated Tennessee a
year ago; Ivy League Princeton
lost to Brown, Colgate and Yale
and is adding new opponents
like Army, Navy, Delaware and
Maine.
“I’m sorry to see it end,” says
Rutgers Coach Frank Burns,
who has beaten Princeton four
years in a row. “There are a lot
of reasons why the rivalry
should continue. The two
schools are only 17 miles apart.
We could hitchhike down there.
It doesn’t cost very much.
"We’re not totally out of their
class. The Ivy League may not
have athletic scholarships but
they sure spend a lot of money
recruiting throughout the
country and they get good
athletes.”
According to Princeton Coach
Frank Navarro:
“We feel this way about this
game — our program is one that
we have to deal with in our own
way. We have to play teams
that will help our recruiting and
help our alumni see our team.
We feel it’s in our best interests
to play some other people.
"Everybody is billing this as

the last game, but I won’t do
that. Colgate is going off our
schedule, too, you know. And
there have been some breakoffs
before.”
True. Princeton and Rutgers
didn’t meet from 1897-1911 and
again from 1915-1933. But ex-
cept for 1951, they have played
every year since 1945. And it is
Princeton which owns a 53-16-1
advantage.
Saturday’s game will be
played in Rutgers Stadium, just
across the Raritan River from
New Brunswick, where the two
institutions first banged heads
with 25 men a side on a patch of
ground where the Rutgers gym
now stands.
Although Rutgers won that
first meeting 6 goals to 4, the
school newspaper reported that
"the appearance of the Prin-
ceton men was very different
from that of our own players.
They were almost without
exception tall and muscular,
while the majority of our
twenty-five are small and
light.”
Nowadays, it is Rutgers
which has more and better
athletes, although Penn State
Coach Joe Paterno, an alumnus
of Ivy League Brown, says that
"all it would take is 10 or 12
days of spring practice for the
Ivy League to be competitive.”
And, says Royce Flippin,
former Princeton football star
and athletic director, “Football
is one of the most difficult
sports to play a clearly superior
team.”
Larry Csonka. Floyd Little.
Jim Brown, Ernie Davis.
Joe Morris. Who?
Morris, only a junior, needs
only 13 yards to pass little and
become the second leading
rusher in Syracuse University’s
history. Before the season is
over, the 5-foot-7 speedster
should pass Csonka and become
No.l. That’s who.
Morris helped Syracuse
inaugurate its new $27 million
Carrier Dome Saturday night
by carrying 32 times for 170
yards and returning three
kickoffs for 130 in a 36-24 victory
over Miami of Ohio. He scored
four touchdowns.
“It was another routine game
for Joe Morris — a great one,”
said Coach Frank Maloney.
"He’s had so many of them for
us.”
Says Morris:
“I see myself not as the
greatest of the Syracuse backs
by any means, but just the
latest.”
The opening kickoff in the
Penn State-Texas A&M game
became a do-over when the
Penn State television network
missed the original.
Indiana Coach Lee Corso was
ecstatic when Tim Clifford
threw a 27-uard touchdown pass
with 19 seconds left to give the
Hoosiers a 36-30 triumph over
Kentucky. The receiver? None
other than Corso’s son, Steve.
Florida trailed Georgia Tech
6-0 in the second period when a
severe thunderstorm forced a
22-minute delay. When play
resumed the Gators thundered
to a 45-12 victory. In two games,
Florida has scored 11 touch-
downs, matching its production
for all of 1979, when its record
was 0-10-1.
Despite Texas Christian’s 0-2
record (Auburn 10-7, Southern
Methodist 17-14), Coach F.A.
Dry is confident, as opposed to
optimistic. "An optimist,” he
says, “is a guy who goes out
fishing for Moby Dick in a
rowboat carrying a jar of tartar
sauce.”
