The department said the batteries which make the At las a talking satellite still are expected to go dead after 20 days. This will mean an end to current experiments in the multiple relay communica tions. The department attributed the satellite's extended life to the accuracy of the missile guidance system used to hurl it into orbit. It said the sys tem "exceeded expectations."

He also questioned whether his 150-pound sophomore quarterback, Harold Stephens would be able to last the en tire game because of a knee injury which apparently is not healed completely. Devaney's team condition report was perfect. He said key personnel were free of injuries, but that the big Hardin-Simmons line was his chief worry.

As for Oklahoma's speedy offense, the coach admitted that was one matter he still had no answer for.
