my dreams" said Reds Manager Sparky Anderson This Week In The SWC Last week we picked Baylor to upset Michigan by three and Rubba Hicks could have made us both look like geniuses had he hit a last-second 39-yard field goal attempt Bubba misfired and the Bears settled for a 14-14 draw and the satisfaction of whipping the Wolverines up and down the field all day Tossing out the tie we hit six of six to up the season total to 17-4 Here's the fifth week forecast: ARKANSAS BY 17 OVER TCU: They'd just done away with hightop shoes and cardboard helmets the last time the Froggies beat Arkansas Nut really but it has been 16 long dry years TEXAS BY OVER UTAH STATE: Texas leads nation in rushing offense with 390 yards per game average There is nowhere to go but up this week unless the Longhorns are thinking too hard about you-knnw-who TEXAS BY 13 OVER KANSAS STATE: Aggies look more for real every week OKLAHOMA STATE BY 7 OVER TEXAS TECH: Tech has been tough over the years (11-6-3) against OSU but the Cowboys are becoming a cornerstone in the Big Eight BAYLOR BY 12 OVER SOUTH CAROUNA: Guess the only thing Baylor would hate more than losing would be another tie If it happens third week in a row we can go scratching in the record books SMU BY 3 OVER WEST VIRGINIA: Upset special Mountaineers not exactly a household football name but don't be misled West Virginia is ranked 11th in the nation and may go better than that before it's over DANNY ML'RTAl'GII ryes Rrd Machine MSU Slates A Practice For Girls Coach Gerald Stockton announced Friday that the Midwestern Stale University basketball team will hold a practice session at 10:30 a Saturday at the Northside Girls Club The Oct 18 contest between MSU and St Mary's University is a benefit exhibition affair and the

By TED BUSS DARRELL Royal and others in his ou si ness have often advised aspiring schoolboys to never pick a college because they happened to like the head coach or his football philosophy Reason? coach has been known to get the ax now and then leaving a freshman facing three or four years under a new man and different ideas Freeman Johns knows what we are talking about It was four years ago Hayden Fry signed the slick Wichita Falls Rider pass catcher to do his stuff for SMU Under Fry the Mustangs ran a pro offense with an accent on the bomb To an energetic speedster like Johns he was in hog heaven with Hayden Johns swiftly moved up to the SMU varsity as a freshman and along with Kenny Harrison and Oscar Roan the Ponies had a dynamite receiving corps Then one day it happened Fry got the ax and SMU went to the Wishbone with Dave Smith It seems ironic now that Johns ruled out wishbone schools like Texas and Oklahoma only to find himself sentenced to three years in Smith's run-oriented offense I can relate to that I remember joining the National Guard to avoid the draft and wound up spending a year and a half on active duty compliments of President JFK's Berlin crisis callup Around SMU they say Freeman Johns will catch anything thrown his way but the ball must come his way first Would you believe the University of Texas of all people has pegged 11 more passes than SMU in the same number of games Hie Ponies have completed 14 and Johns has caught five of them Like any proud pass receiver he'd like more activity "Sure I Johns said during a telephone talk Thursday I don't know a receiver who want to catch as many passes as he can I guess we are kinda selfish that way but Everyone must take pride in what he is capable of doing I want very much to make it in the pros and I don't think our running the wishbone will hurt my diances Til admit I was pretty disappointed when Coach Fry left" he continued "It was a big adjustment for many of us but I think a lot of my early feelings were a sign of immaturity I've learned to accept Coach Smith's philosophy and in some ways I've found that the wishbone makes you a little better five catches have all been im-portant to SMU's cause and this is where keeping your mind on business is vital you pass out of the wishbone on critical situations and this makes you concentrate he said "I'm not that concerned with how many passes FREEMAN JOHNS they throw to me anymore I just want to win and make sure I catch the ones that do come my way" SMU is on probation and will remain there through Johns' final eight games Although there will be no bowl this year the Ponies can still be a part of the SWC title brawl is nothing we can do about the Johns said "But we know we can still win the Southwest Conference championship all like to have one of those rings have no regrets about coming to he continued a good school and I like Dallas I guess one of my big disappointments is that never been to a bowl game As far as being noticed by the pros it ail depends on how well we do as a team When you are successful as a team they'll find NBA Tickets On Sale Now Tickets are now on sale for next Thursday's NBA
