DALLAS — If Eddie Sutton had
panted to deny categorically he is
nterested in coaching the Dallas en-
in the NBA, he could have done
iny number of times during the
it few weeks,
ut he hasn’t.
stead, he has said something
| this:
y job right now is to get our
ps ready for the Southwest Con-
ince tournament. ”
at, clearly, is not a denial. And
lier this week he only increased
ulation that he might be think-
about changing jobs next year
jjen his Arkansas Razorbacks swept
ugh Dallas in what turned out to
Ik losing effort against the SMU
ustangs.
Sutton’s overwhelmingly success-
ix-year career with the Razor-
:s has made him a likely target for
ssional franchises seeking new
hing blood, and it just so hap-
ns that he is a long-time friend of
orm Sonju, the man who is putting
igether the Dallas club.
Sonju has said he would like to
ive Sutton as his team’s coach and
anju was in the crowd Monday
ght when the Razorbacks met the
ustangs.
■ think the Dallas franchise will,
in time, be one of the great ones in
the NBA,” Sutton said following the
SMU contest. “But I don’t think
there is any doubt that it is going to
be tough for a couple of years.
“I’ve had opportunities before in
the NBA and the only reason I might
consider Dallas is that I believe they
are going to build the franchise the
right way.
“I get the impression that they are
g oing to build through the draft and
e very careful in selecting the right
type of person as well as the right
type of player. There are a lot of
spoiled young men in the NBA who
are tough to coach.
“But I think Norm wants to get the
right kind of young man to play on
the Dallas team.”
Sutton has clearly done his home
work on a possible move to the NBA.
“I have some friends who have
gone from college to the pros and
they say they had to go through a
period of adjustment,” he said.
“There is not as much time to prac
tice for one thing. And with an ex
pansion team you might lose as many
games in a short period of time as we
have in Arkansas in six years.
“But I think college coaches have
made an impact in professional bas
ketball.”

“We really didn’t have a good
tournament,” said Bob Ellis, Texas
A&M golf coach.
Ellis said even though the team
played a lot of golf and hit many balls
to get prepared for the tournament,
it needs more work.
“They need more competition to
get them ready to play winning golf, ”
said Ellis. “It was the first competi
tion of the spring. I think with more
experience they will do better later
in the year. It was a case of not being
intense enough.”
The University of Houston won
the team title with a score of 877.
They were followed by Centenary,
887; TCU, 909; Lamar, 913; the Uni
versity of Texas, 916; the Aggies,
918. The individual title was won by
Fred Couples of Houston who shot
an even-par 216.
The Ags’ next competition will be
Feb. 28-March 1 at the Cowboy In
tercollegiate at Guadalajar, Mexico.

On national signing day
Signees stay with SWC

With all the ceremony of a pres
idential news conference, linebacker
Jeff Liding jilted the University of
Olahoma Wednesday and signed to
play his college football with the
Texas Longhorns.
“Jeff is going to make people forget
Tommy Nobis,” said Texas assistant
coach Charles Lee. “There’s no
doubt about it. He’s the best high
school linebacker in the United
States.”
The signing of Leiding by Texas
coach Fred Akers in ceremonies at
Tulsa’s Union high school highlight
ed a successful day for the Lon
ghorns, who, along with Texas
A&M, cornered a glittering horde of
high school prospects.
Wednesday was the first day on
which a high school student could
sign a scholarship agreement bind
ing within the entire NCAA. After
signing such an agreement a player
cannot transfer to another NCAA
school without losing a year of eligi
bility.
Texas had signed an impressive
list of running backs to Southwest
Conference scholarship agreements
a week ago and they all honored their
commitments Wednesday.
Terry Orr, a running back from
Abilene Cooper who was perhaps
the most widely recruited player in
Texas this year, ignored a heavy rush
by USC during the past week and
signed with the Longhorns early
Wednesday.
But the signing of Leiding was the
big one for Texas.
Texas A&M signed up all the pros
pects that had committed last week.
But in addition the Aggies came up
with Mark Lewis, the talented tight
end from Houston Kashmere, and
Keith Guthrie of Tyler John Tyler,
perhaps the most sought after line
man in the state.
There were no known major de
fections in the Southwest Confer
ence, although defensive back
Raymond Polk went to Colorado af
ter signing with both the Buffs and
the SMU Mustangs.
Other recruiting highlights in
cluded a planned visit to Texas A&M
next weekend by Billy Cannon, Jr.,
son of the famous LSU running back
who is now an orthodontist in Baton
Rouge. Cannon is reportedly leading
toward the Aggies, although profes
sional baseball teams also regard him
as a prospect in that sport.
