Being the man who last beat Bjorn Borg has for some time been an hon or almost greater than winning a tournament championship. Now, in one case at least, it pays better too. Sponsors of a $500,000 tennis ex travaganza opening in Toronto Wednesday have taken the logical next step and made victory over Bjorn Borg a major event in it’s own right, a prospect with crowd appeal. They have offered a $25,000 re ward to anyone in the tournament who can defeat Borg and have re cruited a field of opponents whose style is most likely to work against Borg’s incredible consistency. John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Johan Kriek, Vitas Gerulaitis, Hie Nastase, Sandy Mayer and Wojtek Fibak will make up the rest of the ambr » t* * • '• -'■■xwBmMmsM * wmaMMm 1 >'i . Both big and small give all in victories United Press International One of the biggest men in the Southwest Conference and one of the smallest had their finest moments as collegians Tuesday night and while they were enjoying themselves things were quite normal where Arkansas and Texas were concerned. The visiting team seexhs to always do well when the Razorbacks and Longhorns get together and that’s what happened again Tuesday nighl — Arkansas whipping Texas, 54-48, and moving into second place in the SWC chase behind the Houston Cougars. Houston, behind 6-9 Larry Micheaux’ early baskets and the 29 points of Rob Williams, smashed SMU, 79-64, while little Ronnie Blake — all 5'6 of him — made the key play of the game that allowed Baylor to score at the buzzer and beat the Rice Owls, 60-59. And in Fort Worth, Texas Tech was forced into overtime by TCU, but the Raiders beat the Horned Frogs for the 19th straight time, 70-60. All of that left Houston with an 8-2 record and Arkansas at 6-3. Rice and Baylor are both at 6-4. “Anytime you beat Texas it is a great victory,” said Arkansas coach Eddie Sutton. “Our fans put a premium on victories over Texas. They made a great run at us (cutting a 12-point deficit to three), but we held our poise.” Arkansas held Texas to a 20.7 percentage from the field in the first half and 36 percent for the game. “We made a lot of mental errors,” said Texas coach Abe Lemons, “and our shooting was terrible.” Houston scored the first 10 points of its meeting with Houston with Micheaux dominating play early and finishing with 19 points. field in the richest eight-man event in tennis history. Borg, for his part, had mixed feel ings about the stacked deck he faces, and suggested he might have more fim if the pressure were on some body else. “It’s the first time for me, he said of the price on his head. I wish it was the other way around. McEnroe was sympathetic, but said his feelings would not stop him from going after the $25,000. Per sonally I think we’ve got enough in centive as it is, but now that its there.” The actual odds against seeing Borg upset are long indeed. Against the seven other players he suffered only one loss last year — to McEn roe. He is 8-4 lifetime in matches against McEnroe, 13-8 against Con nors. However, Connors has talked very tough about regaining his No. 1 ON ranking this season and, sof # determination shows. Borg needed all three setsi Connors at the Masters in Ne» last month. “That,” said Borg ^ best I have seen him inalongt The Toronto tournaments sored by a Canadian brewery ; rich in other incentives.
