United Press International
DALLAS — Basketball players
Vernon Smith ofTexas A&M and Pat
Nunley of Baylor have been sus
pended for their teams’ first three
games this season because they play
ed in unsanctioned games during the
summer.
A&M called the situation “unfor
tunate.”
Texas A&M Athletic Council
chairman Dr. Charles H. Samson
said Thursday the loss of Smith
“appears to be a case of an innocent
mistake on Smith’s part.”
The players, both starters at their
schools, played in games they
thought had been approved by the
NCAA, The Dallas Morning News
reported.
Smith, a forward who led the
Aggies by scoring 16 points-per-
game last year, played in two games
of a one-day tournament at a recrea-

guard, played two games in a league
at a gym in Bedford.
The NCAA must sanction summer
participation by senior college play
ers. The teams they played for had
both been approved by the NCAA
last year.
Samson said, “All of our basketball
players had been cautioned not to
participate in any unsanctioned
events during the summer. Smith
thought he was playing in a properly
approved tournament but, unfortun
ately, he was misinformed by tour
nament officials.
“It was an innocent mistake and an
unfortunate situation, ” said Samson.
“It was everybody’s fault,” said
Baylor Coach Jim Haller. “I
shouldn’t have told Pat it was all
right without checking it out posi
tively myself and the recreation cen
ter director was a fault because he
shouldn’t have told Pat he could play
if he wasn’t sure either. ”
Nunley, who averaged 9.4 points-
per-game last season, will miss Fri
day night’s game against Greece’s
national team, a Dec. 1 match with
Brigham Young and a Dec. 3 game
with Texas-El Paso. Smith will not
play against the Australian national
team Saturday nor the first two
games of the Alaskan Invitational-

Ags hope to spoil Hogs’
By MARK PATTERSON
Battalion Sports Staff
At this point, the outcome of
Saturday’s Texas A&M-Arkansas
game is as clear as the muddy Brazos
River since both the Aggies and
Razorbacks are pretty evenly match
ed football teams.
With an 8-1 season record and a
share of first place in the Southwest
Conference, the Razorbacks are
looking for a New Year’s Day bowl
game on the horizon. Whether it is
in Dallas’s Cotton or New Orleans’s
Sugar Bowl, as most insiders are
hinting, all the Hogs have to do is
keep winning to go to a bowl.
And the Aggies would like nothing
better than to kill those post-season
dreams. The Aggies, at 4-4 and 2-3 in
the SWC, appear to have put all
phases of their game together in time
for the Arkansas invasion. It couldn’t
have happened at a better time.
The Aggies have averaged 43
points a game their last two outings
and have had a week off to prepare
for the Hogs. The Razorbacks are
coming off a wild 29-20 comeback
victory over Baylor last weekend in

Waco.
The two teams are poised
ready for the kickoff, set for
p.m. in Kyle Field.
“I’ve never been to College Sta
tion but I’ve heard an awful lot about
it," said Arkansas’ quarterback
Kevin Scanlon about the trip to Kyle
Field. Scanlon goes into Saturday’s
game as the top quarterback in the
conference, hitting on 63 percent of
his passes. He also leads the confer
ence in total offense with 142.9
yards-per-game.
“Players have told me how vocal
their fans are and how loud it is. I
guess it’s a lot like our crowds in
Arkansas except that this time we ll
be the visitor.”
With more of the third deck com
pleted for this week’s game, 62,000-
plus fans are expected to crowd into
Kyle Field.
“I think the crowd is enthusiastic,
they’re vocal,” said Arkansas coach
Lou Holtz about A&M s home
crowd. “Wp’pj realJy going to have
to play a great football game to com
bat it (the crowd). We re going to
have to be very determined indi
viduals because it’s just a great en
vironment.
“I don’t believe it (the crowd) can
intimidate us as a total team but it
could intimidate us individually.
But, to me, I would personally
rather play in front of 68,000 wildly
enthusiastic people than in front of
5,000 people who didn’t really care
but came there because somebody
gave them a ticket.
“I know it’s easier to win in front of
5,000 people away from home. If we
are a good football team, we’ll accept
the challenge down there.”
The challenge comes from the
Aggies’ defense, which has allowed
150.7 yards rushing a game and
