The Lava Bears open up at home Hayden Fry picked over Royal Broyles as 'Coach of the Year' By Ed Fife UPI Staff Writer DALLAS (UPI I - Hayden Fry Is a young, crew-cut type coach who faces the unique situation of trying to live up to a losing 2-8 football season that won him "Coach of the Year" honors in a grid hotbed that boasted two of the nation's "Top 10" teams in 1962. Darrell Royal coached the Uni versity of Texas to a 9-0-1 sea eon. No. 4 ranking nationally, a Southwest Conference champion ship and a berth in the Cotton Bowl. Frank Broyles tutored Ar kansas to a 9-1 record. No. 6 national ranking and a post season Sugar Bowl date. Yet Fry was the pick of the sports writers over Royal and Broyles last fall for his job with a Southern Methodist team that lost eight of its 10 games. "I couldn't find anything to gripe about after reviewing our reason," Fry says. "We played only one bad half all fall," he added in reference to the Mus tangs' 33-3 defeat at the hands of national champion Southern California after trailing only 13-3 at halftime. Remarkable Performance In the other nine games, an SVU team which was woefully weak on paper and one which lost five starters including center Mike Kelsey as a heat fatality before the starting whis tle, gave a remarkable perform anse. They lost. 7-0, to Maryland, 6-0 to Texas, 9-7 to Arkansas, 17-13 to Baylor and by 5-point mar gins to Air Force, Texas A&M and Texas Christian in addition to upsetting Rice, 15-7, and Texas Tech. 14-0. "They made up in determina tion, dedication and effort what they lacked in ability," Fry summarizes. Fry, a quarterback who played In the shadows of Adrian Burk and Larry Isbell in their hey-day at Baylor, in his first year at the SMU helm had instilled a spirit missing at the Dallas hill top school since the halcyon days of three-time Ail-American Doak Walker. Tougher to Ovtrcomt His team looked so good los ing that his problems this fall will be much tougher to over come. "We're bigger, but still far from big enough. ..we're faster, but still too slow.. .we're more experienced but lack depth ev erywhere.. .and Hie leadership that sparked last year's desire re mains a question mark with fall trainine only hours away," is the summed up SMU's prospects'. "We had so much success stunting on defense last year, that we're going to stunt on of fense, too, this fall," he said seriously. "We are going to use a combination T formation and when we line up on offense it's going to look like a Chinese fire drill. "Maybe our Chinese firemen can earn as much acclaim some day as Louisiana State's famed Chinese Bandits (defense) unit."

Speedy Scot and Florlis actual ly made the race a two-horse con test, before a record crowd of 41,980, even though 14 started and 11 remained for the 3rd heat. In the first heat Florlis, start ing from post position 3, never was far out of contention and nipped Speedy Scot by a head in the stretch drive. In the second Speedy Scot moved in front at the head of the stretch to cross under the wire a length ahead of Florlis, and in the third beat Florlis by three quarters of a length. Speedy Scot won his sixth and seventh races in nine starts this year to earn first money of $56, 619, increasing his lifetime earn ings to $238,710. Florlis, a winner over Speedy Scot twice as a two-year-old, earned $28,309. Third money of J13.588 went to Elma, fourth prize of J9.059 to Choir Boy. and fifth of K.fM to Buff Hanover.

TOURNEY SITE SET KINGSTON, Jamaica (UPI) -The fifth annual golf tournament of the Professional Putters Asso ciation will be held in Columbus. Broncos from a two-year doormat to runnerup in the Western Divi sion, and an outstanding crop of rookies has sparked the hopes of the coaches and fans alike. Denver may be well on Uie way toward becoming a real pro foot ball town, even if the Broncos fail to live up to everyone's wish ful thinking this season. Faulkner himself is most en thusiastic. "When our ball club settles down they can really play football," he said. Our only weakness is in the offensive line. We've made a few trades to strengthen ourselves though. 'Our strongest point, I think, is our kicking game. Gene Mingo, I think, is the best field coal kicker in professional football, and Jim Fraser is an excellent punter. "We hope to have a better rec ord than last year s 7-7. If we get a few breaks and keep away from injuries, I think we II be okay." Ticket Salea Up Faulkner, who also is the Bron cos' general manager, pointed out that season ticket sales are ap proaching the 8,000 mark, com pared with about 5,000 a year ago. Overall, everything is looking up, he said. Four newcomers are expected to break into the starting lineup: 250-pound fullback Billy Joe from Villanova, who has been drawing most of the pre-scason raves; running back Clarence Walker, and rookie cornerbacks Tommy Janik from Texas Ail and Char lie Mitchell from Washington. But several other rookies will make the squad, including quarterback Mickey Slaughter of Louisiana Tech. Veteran Frank Tripucka, who has "retired" each year for the past two seasons, is looking bet ter than ever at the quarterback spot as he starts his 15th season of pro football. "Man, that Tripucka is surpris ing me," Faulkner said. "He keeps getting better all the time." Tripucka's favorite targets, ends Lionel Taylor and Gene Prebola, are back again. Taylor led the AFL in receiving in 19(3, catch ing 77 passes for 908 yards. In addition, the Broncos this week acquired Bill Groman from the Houston Oilers. Groman, who was unhappy at Houston, can be used as a flanker or a split end behind Taylor. Heads Defensive Lin Team captain Bud McFadin again leads a powerful veteran defensive line of Gordie Holz, Isaac Lassiter and Chuck Gavin. Additional rookies who figure in Bronco plans are fullback Hew ritt Dixon from Florida AIM: tackles Anton Peters (Florida) and Tom Nomina (Miami, Ohio': linebackers Forrest Farmer (Pur due) and Leon Simmons (Gram bling) and guard C. B. Simons (Stanford). Dixon and Farmer presently are hobbled by injuries Billy Joe is expected to give the Broncos a much greater which has lacked a power run ner in the past. "I plan to start him and play him as much as I can," said Faulkner.

The tournament will run for two months and bring an estimated 50.000 women bowlers. -.j... ;.. -A. L .... : 1 us-- TIRE & BATTERY 208 E.
