a game. 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. At this point
in the season, a coach worries about

the team’s attitude, if it is ready to
play. But our folks are looking for
ward to playing TCU.
“This is a big game for TCU and
for us. 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.

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.
Larry Kenon’s 15-foot jumper, his
10,000th career point, tied it for the
Spurs at 94-94 with 7:56 to play. But
six points by guard Maurice Cheeks
and four by Julius Erving moved
Philadelphia out to a 107-100 advan
tage.
Evans’ three-point shot pulled
San Antonio within one, 112-111.
Then Dawkins dunked and Erving
and forward Bobby Jones each hit
two free throws answered only by a

Kevin Restani three-point shot.
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. The Knicks
trailed 98-79 after three periods after
committing 11 turnovers in both the
second and third quarters. Malone,
the NBA s fourthleading scorer, had
25 points after a first half in which he
was l-for-8 from the field.
