Spurs defeat Houston
United Press International
SAN ANTONIO — Bruising Mark Olberding
scored a career-high 34 points and at the same time
held Houston center Moses Malone in check
Wednesday night to propel San Antonio to a 125-113
whipping of the Rockets that evened their Western
Conference semifinal series at 1-1.
Olberding and backup guard Ron Brewer led a
second quarter rush that gave San Antonio a 62-51
halftime lead. Houston cut its deficit to eight points
at the end of three quarters, but the Spurs scored the
first 11 points of the final period to put the game out
of reach.
The series now moves on to Houston for the third
game Friday night and the fourth game Sunday after
noon.
Olberding’s total was not only an NBA high for
him but far exceeded his season average of 12.3
points per game. In addition to leading his team in
scoring, the 6-9 Olberding bumped and battled with
Malone all night and won the fight.
Malone, who had scored 27 points in Houston’s
win Tuesday night mustered a comparatively lack
luster 21 points Wednesday night.
The Rockets failed to score during the opening
3:27 of the fourth quarter as San Antonio scored 11
straight points.
Houston’s frustration finally boiled over with
10:19 left in the game, when Malone shoved backup
center Paul Griffin, who had matched Olberding in
effectively guarding the mammoth Houston center.
The two had to be separated by teammates and
the game progressed without further incident.
In addition to Olberding’s 34 points, George Ger-
vin scored 22 and Brewer had 21. Calvin Murphy
paced the Rockets with 34 points, 11 in the final
quarter.
It was during the second quarter that the Spurs
running game finally began to make a dent in the
Rockets’ slow-down tempo.
San Antonio shot 60 percent during the opening
two quarters to Houston’s 47 and dominated every
phase of the game to finally take some steam out of
the Rockets’ playoff surge.

Undefeated in Southwest Con
ference play, the Arkansas Razor-
backs bring a lofty national tennis
ranking and powerful team to the
Omar Smith Tennis Center Satur
day to take on the 20th-ranked
Texas A&M men’s tennis team.
The Hogs have lost only four
individual SWC matches in four
dual meets. They are ranked
fourth in the nation by the Inter
collegiate Tennis Coaches Asso
ciation.
“They have a very tough team, ”
said Aggie tennis coach David
Kent. “But they come here to us in
the middle of a very tough road
trip.”
The Razorbacks play Trinity to
day, TCU Friday, A&M Saturday
and Rice Sunday, all on the road.
Trinity is ranked eighth, TCU
13th and A&M 20th. Kent said he
also believes Rice has been under
rated and should receive some
recognition in the national polls.
“If the Razorbacks can do that
(such a tough road trip) and keep
their edge,” Kent said, “they de
serve their ranking.
"I can’t travel like that with my
team because we have to play so
emotionally.”
Kent said Arkansas has a reputa
tion for being a mentally tough
team. It is a team, he said, that has
Panel discusses
NCAA violations
By FRANK L. CHRISTLIEB
Battalion Staff
Recruiting and eligibility viola
tions in college sports must be
more severely punished in order
to prevent their occurrence, two
NCAA officials and one sportswri-
ter told a 300-member Rudder
Auditorium audience Wednesday
night.
The MSC Great Issues Com
mittee hosted a panel presenta
tion by Steve Morgan, executive
assistant of the NCAA Enforce
ment Department; Jack Gal
lagher, a Houston Post sport-
swriter; and Dan Devine, former
head coach at the University of
Notre Dame.
The three panelists agreed that
the number and severity of NCAA
recruiting and procedural viola
tions are increasing all the time.
They said the only way to deal
with these problems is to enforce
current rules more stringently,
and if possible, create more rules
to punish schools guilty of break
ing them.
“Stricter penalties are impor
tant, ” Morgan said, adding that in'
order to be more meaningful,
penalties should limit future re
cruiting of any school which
violates NCAA rules.
Gallagher said the NCAA
should suspend coaches and pen
alize athletes involved in rule
violations, and university presi
dents should be made more re
sponsible for the actions of their
athletic departments.
One of the jobs of the NCAA,
Morgan said, is to help member
schools understand all rules in
order to eliminate the occurrence
of violations. He said the NCAA
must make sure that schools don’t
“fall into violation by ignorance. ”
Devine said all NCAA officials
and coaches are caught in a “vi
cious circle” in which they must
“win at any cost”, and pressures
inside the circle sometimes
prompt rule-breaking.
However, he said: “Somebody
in this circle’s got to take a stance,
or it’s going to get worse.”
Motioning toward the audience
with his hand, Devine said: “I be
lieve in winning, but I wouldn’t be
proud of this championship ring if
I knew we’d cheated.”
He said: “We’ve got to clean up
our act and get the cheaters out of
the business.”

One possible violation is that of
alumni interference with the re
cruitment of prospective athletes,
Gallagher said, and coaches
should be responsible for controll
ing this influence. He said most
recent recruiting violations in
Texas are a result of alumni inter
ference.
However, he said, this interfer
ence is difficult to control in Texas,
and is a “scourge to the Southwest
Conference.”
Devine said alumni are not as
responsible for recruiting viola
tions as most people think. He
said alumni “take a black eye in
this area” and should not be
blamed so much for participation
in scandalous recruiting.
“This area is not as big a prob
lem as we paint it up to be,” De-
vine said.
Gallagher said the growth of all
college sports has added to the
number of violations as well.
“The bigger the sport gets, the
more chances there are of rules
being violated,” he said.
In the past few years, Gallagher
said, newspapers have been an
important source of information
for the NCAA in its investigation
of scandals.
“Increasingly, newspapers have
taken over an investigative role in
scandals that have arisen,” he
said.
Devine said despite all the
problems, college athletics are
something that every campus
needs.
“I hope that everyone can over
look some of these faults and con
sider some of the benefits.”

the talent to play many games on
the road and still keep their edge.
All in all, however, some of the
best tennis of the year should be
played on the Omar Smith courts
Saturday, Kent said.
“We’re going to be fired up,”
he said. “With a good, large crowd
behind us, we have a great chance
to improve our overall standings
in conference and perhaps pull an
upset. ”
The Ags have only the Arkansas
match left in SWC competition.
Arkansas has TCU, A&M, Rice
and SMU left in SWC play.
The Ags are 38-24 in SWC
match play now. The SWC tour
nament that will be held April 24-
26 in Corpus Christi will base it’s
seedings on the conference re
cords of the teams. So every SWC
match is important.
Last season, the Ags finished
sixth in the SWC and 18th nation
ally. Texas A&M was 19-8 overall
and 38-34 in SWC play. Already,
the Ags, at the worst, will tie that
record but, due to the competi
tions’ records, will probably im
prove their conference ranking.
Texas which finished fifth, two
matches ahead of the Ags in the
standings last year, has two SWC
matches left. The Longhorns were
33-21 with matches against TCU
and SMU left.
The Ags are now 17-8 for the
season with three matches lei (
