out of UCLA into what might have
been a long and brilliant NBA
career, knows now he’ll never

Walton admitted Wednesday
night his career has ended. There
is no more hope. No more dreams
of making one more comeback
attempt.
Arkansas defeats Mercer, 73-6
His comments came just hours
after an announcement by the
Clippers that Lloyds of London
had agreed to pay them $1.25 mil
lion on the permanent disability
insurance policy carried on
Walton.

The out-of-court settlement
reached in Los Angeles was the
final chapter in the controversial,
injury-marred career of the NBAs
one-time Most Valuable Player,
who played in just 14 games for the
Clippers after signing a seven-
year, $7 million contract with the
team.

Preseason is over for the Texas
Aggies.
With a 7-3 record and a No. 28
ranking under their belts, the Ags
travel to Houston today to start off
the 1981 Southwest Conference
schedule against the Rice Owls.
And there could be no better place
to start it all off.
The Owls are a surprising team.
Their hitting thus far has been well
above initial expectations, and
their pitching has been excellent.
Ditto for the Aggies.
Tuesday, the Aggies were defe
ated by St. Mary’s Wally Terez,
3-1, on a two-hitter, and then
erupted for 18 hits and 14 runs to
thrash the Rattlers, 14-4 in the
nightcap during windy, rainy con
ditions.
Texas A&M has thus far been
led by two pitchers who were not
expected to produce great sea
sons. Steve Davis and David
Flores, 2-0 and 1-1 respectively,
pitched excellent ballgames their
last outings, and Head Coach Tom
Chandler is looking hard at their
future as starters.
On the other hand, Robert
Slavens, 11-1 last season and
looked upon as the crux of the
Aggie hopes, has looked sluggish
in the early going but has im
proved.
Rick Luecken has silently com
piled a 2-0 record and may be the
starter in the nine-inning opening
game today against the Owls at
Cameron Field at 3 p.m.
“Realistically, the odds and
physical problems are all against
my ever playing again,” Walton
told ABC radio sports from his
home in La Jolla, Calif.

AUSTIN — Reserve forward
Darrell Walker came off the bench
to score 19 points and spark the
struggling Arkansas Razorbacks to
a 73-67 win over the Mercer
Bears, a win that advances the
Razorbacks against defending na
tional champion Louisville in the
NCAA Midwest Regional.
Earlier in the evening the
Lamar Cardinals upset the Mis
souri Tigers, 71-67, to move into a
Saturday match against fourth-
ranked LSU.
Louisville and LSU had drawn
byes past the first round
Thursday.
Arkansas, a heavy favorite to
beat Mercer, a Macon, Ga., team
making its first NCAA tournament
appearance, did not take control of
the game until the final seven mi
