They can play with anyone and have a chance to win. They’re not getting run off the field like they use to.” The TCU defense has shown the greatest improvement. The Frogs have installed a new defense, unique in the conference, and have been effective holding down their opposti- tion. “TCU runs a 5-3 defense, putting eight men on or near the line of scrimmage,” Wilson said. “It’s a dif ferent scheme than anyone runs in the conference. They have five line men and stack linebackers behind the noseguard and two tackles. “It’s the same type defense Penn State ran. We did have some luck against it earlier this year.” Most of that success against Penn State was enjoyed by tailback Curtis Dickey. After missing last week’s Arkansas game with a broken rib, Dickey is listed as doubtful for the TCU game as well. If he is able to return this Saturday, Wilson said he will be used in a reserve role behind starter Johnny Hector. Free safety Elroy Steen, who se verely sprained his ankle against Arkansas, is out for the TCU game and may be finished for the season. James Zachery (bruised thigh), Arlis James (groin pull) and Doug Carr (thumb injury) are listed as question able for this week’s game. “We suffered more bumps and bruises in last week’s game than we have all season,” Wilson said. “With all our people hurt on defense, we could be in trouble. “TCU concerns me.

They’ve been so close this year, they’re looking at this game as the one that might turn their prog ram around. “And we have a chance for a win ning season if we beat TCU and Texas. But we have to win this one first.” The Aggie players may be caught between looking to next week’s Texas game and thinking about the Arkansas loss. But Wilson feels his troops will be ready Saturday. “In past years, taking TCU too lightly could have been a problem,” Wilson said. “But you don’t have to look at films too long to see that this isn’t the same kind of TCU football team. At this point, they’re playing good, solid football. They are a team we have to have respect for.” Kickoff at TCU’s Amon G. Carter Stadium is scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday. United Press International SAN ANTONIO — The Philadel phia 76ers outraced San Antonio, 118-114, behind a 40-point third quarter in NBA action Tuesday night. Center Darryl Dawkins led the Sixer charge, scoring 12 third quar ter points, pulling down four re bounds and grabbing two steals. Philadelphia scored at will, over coming a 52-48 halftime deficit and hit 17 of 27 field goal attempts to take an 88-85 lead into the final 12 mi nutes. The Spurs fought back behind re serve guard Mike Evans’ 11 fourth quarter points. Evans, a first year man, saw his longest action of the season, finishing with 19 points in 24 minutes.

In New York, Michael Ray Richardson sank two free throws with 43 seconds remaining in over time when New York made up a 23- point deficit in the second half to post a 130-125 victory over Houston, snapping the Rockets’ seven-game winning streak and giving Coach Red Holzman his 500th career vic tory with the Knicks. The Rockets, who led by 15 at half time, ran up a 23-point lead in the third quarter — when Moses Malone scored 17 of his game-high 32 points — and Houston led 123- 117 midway through overtime. New York, which had lost five of its pre vious six games, then ran off a 13-2 spurt as Ray Williams and Richard son combined for 10. After Richardson’s free throws, Toby Knight put New York ahead 128-125 with two foul shots. Rudy Tomjanovich missed a three-point attempt with six seconds left and Richardson — one of four Knicks with 20 or more points — sealed it with two more free throws. Bill Cartwright scored 24 before fouling out and Knight finished with 21. Calvin Murphy scored 16 of his 30 points as the Rockets took a 35-30 lead after one quarter.
