Arkansas survives scare
3urisi
United Press International
It has now been demonstrated
the Arkansas Razorbaeks can
their absolute worst and still
At least they can against the
Horned Frogs.
U has played almost a season
id a half without winning a South-
ist Conference game, but the
ned Frogs put a scare into the
-ranked Arkansas Razorbaeks
rday evening.
'hat was about as bad as I’ve
in college basketball since I’ve
at Arkansas,’’ said Hogs Coach
sdt b^e Sutton. During the first half
her Ron Brewer nor Marvin
. Hi - two of Arkansas’ top guns -
, juld manage a point.
Irt jlrewer missed his first six shots
"Bi the field, the Razorbaeks had
"“" ■baskets taken away on charging
1 juls an d Brewer, who leads the
1C in free throw shooting with a
1 '""Hercent average, missed two
tun the line.
1 But Brewer came back to score
jne points in the second half
1 8 ei1 Bnst the deliberate Frogs and Ar
ias pulled put a 43-35 decision,
at win, combined with a sur-
ingly easy 71-58 triumph for
Tech over slumping Texas
jM kept the Red Raiders 5-1 and
backs 4-1 within a game in the
column of league leading Texas.
The 17th-rated Longhorns, the
conference s surprise team of the
year, kept their 5-0 league mark un
touched by the simple chore of not
playing Saturday night.
But the Longhorns task picks up
considerably Monday night since
they have to travel to Texas A&M.
That is the start of a five-game
stretch in 10 days for Texas, ending
Feb. 1 with a trip to Arkansas,
where the Razorbaeks will be out to
avenge their loss in Austin a week
ago.
In other conference activity
Saturday night the Houston
Cougars 4-2 easily subdued the Rice
Owls 1-5, 96-74; and Baylor’s Vinnie
Johnson scored 29 points to give the
Bears 2-3 a 75-73 decision over
SMU 2-3.
SMU is easily the conference’s
hard luck team of the year. Its three
conference losses have come against
A&M after leading by 12 at the half,
to Tech by two points on a shot at
the buzzer and against Baylor in a
squeaker Saturday night.
TCU 0-5 has lost 21 straight con
ference games, but led the Razor-
backs midway through the second
half.
“If TCU plays this style the rest of
the way they will win a lot of
games, said Sutton. “Our players
read the paper and compare scores
and it’s hard to get emotionally
ready for a game against TCU. They
did a great job handling the ball.”
In Lubbock, Texas Tech took ad
vantage of A&M’s 25 percent field
goal shooting in the first half to open
a large lead.
“We’ve trailed most of our con
ference games at the half,” said
Tech Coach Gerald Myers.
“It felt good to get in front and get
some momentum for a change. We
broke their press for some easy bas
kets and, of course, they shot for a
miserable percentage which helped
us. ”
That was A&M’s fourth loss in five
conference games, a dismal start for
a team expected to be among the
top finishers this season.
Texas’ schedule this week, follow
ing their game Monday night at
Texas A&M, calls for the Longhorns
to meet Baylor at home Wednesday
night and travel to SMU Saturday
evening.
Arkansas will be at Baylor
Monday night, host SMU Thursday
night and travel to Texas Tech for a
critical encounter next Saturday.
The other key game this week has
Tech visiting Houston Wednesday
night.

United Press International
HOUSTON — Martina Nav
ratilova is fast joining the company

being able to beat my doubles part
ner,” she said following her first-
ever victory over Billie Jean King
Sunday in the finals of the Virginia
