No matter how the 1981-82 Southwest Confer
ence basketball race ends, every team in the
league proved this season that it could perform
gainst any club without embarassing itself.
The SWC posted a 69-24 record against out-
de opponents and no team had a losing non-
conference season.
I With the season almost over, it seems appropri
ate to review the performance of the nine teams.
| ARKANSAS — The Razorbacks, currently 18-
|p, 9-4 in conference play, have a good shot at
learning their sixth consecutive trip to the NCAA
■(layoffs.
| However, Arkansas has had problems this sea
son. In a game against Texas, guard Darrell Wal
ter was ejected after hitting Longhorn guard Ray
Harper. The SWC postponed action on the mat
ter until the post-season tournament, although
larch 12-13.

BAYLOR —Jim Haller’s Bears have already
osted their best record in a decade, 16-8 for the
ieason and 9-5 in the conference. In 1971, Baylor

HOUSTON — The Cougars have played well
n 1982, posting a 17-6 overall record and an 8-5
Conference record. With three games to play, Guy
ewis’ team could possibly win their first SWC title
his season.
Houston has received outstanding play from
iesbegintk#$ uarc i R°b Williams, center Akeem Abdul Ola-
981 outdoorjN uwon an d forward Clyde Drexler.
,'hen they kfl RICE — The Owls’ success can be summed in
(n Feb. 27, [ two words — Ricky Pierce. Pierce, a forward, leads
the nation in scoring (689 points) and is second in
per-game scoring (27.6).
Rice, at 14-12 and 5-8 in the conference, could
rove to be a spoiler in the SWC race as they play
ost to Arkansas Saturday.
The Owls are en route to their first winning
eason since 1971, and with victories in their last
:wo games, would post the school’s best record in
nearly 20 years.
SMU — The 1981-82 season has not been
^memorable for the Mustangs. Coach Dave Bliss’
Ponies dwell in the conference cellar and won’t be
moving out any time soon.
SMU could be a spoiler in the race, hosting
Arkansas in its last game of the season. The Mus
tangs, 6-18 this year and 1-13 in the conference,
have not won since defeating Houston Jan. 16.
TEXAS — Coach Abe Lemons’ Longhorns, 16-
7 and 6-7, appeared to be headed for a national
championship until a loss at Baylor Jan. 26.
However, Texas has dropped seven of nine out
ings and has slumped to sixth in the conference.
The Longhorns never recovered after losing
forward Mike Wacker and likely will do no better
than last year’s 7-9 sixth-place SWC finish.
TEXAS A&M — With a season record of 15-9
and 8-5 in the conference, the Aggies still have a
shot at a share of the SWC title. They must defeat
Texas and TCU in G. Rollie White and Houston
on the road, while Arkansas must lose one of its
three games.
With a good team effort in their remaining
games, the Aggies should easily earn a bye into the
SWC post-season tournament.
TCU — The Horned Frogs are playing better
than they have in years, now 13-11 on the season
8-6 in the conference. They could finish their first
winning season in a decade by winning one of the
two games left on the schedule.
TEXAS TECH — Coach Gerald Myers’ Red
Raiders, 14-9 and 6-7, need two victories in their
last three outings to avoid their first losing SWC
season since 1969.
With home games against SMU and Texas and
a road trip to Arkansas left, the Raiders should be
able to accomplish the task and could cause a
major shake-up in the SWC standings.

Cauthen receives diploma;
says he’s enjoying England
by Milton Richman
United Press International
A couple of hot walkers were
killing time talking with the
chief clerk of scales in the pad-
dock the other evening at Lato-
nia Race Course in bustling little
Florence, Ky., when one of them
volunteered a piece of news.
“You hear about Stevie
Cauthen?” he asked. “He just
got his high school diploma.”
His listeners were impressed.
Steve Cauthen getting his
high school diploma was an
eyebrow-raiser. That isn’t hard
to understand, considering the
notion that a basic education
isn’t important for someone like
a 21-year-old jockey who
already has won horse racing’s
Triple Crown and Eclipse
Award.
For the past two years, Cauth
en has been riding for indust
rialist Robert Sangster in Great
Britain and he’ll be going back
there shortly for the start of the
new racing season next month.
“I wanted to go back and get it
for a few reasons,” Cauthen
said. “Although it’s only a piece
of paper, it means something
and it lets you know where you
stand. I was 16 and in the 10th
grade when 1 quit high school. I
was excited about riding then
because it was something I
wanted to do. I was afraid I
might outgrow it, become too
big. I weighed 90 pounds then.”
Cauthen began his riding
career at River Downs in Cincin
nati across the Ohio River from
where he lives. But even then he
still was concerned about his
education.
“I took some correspondence
courses, although I never got my
diploma,” he said. “In order to
get it now, I had to take such
subjects as mathematics, science,
social studies, reading and spell
ing. I may decide to go to college
some day, but not in the instant
future. Languages are some
thing I might take. I’m also in
terested in TV broadcasting.”
“The Kid,” as he came to be
known when he was both the
leading apprentice and the lead-
ingjockey in the nation in 1976,
probably would do well in TV.
He seems to be a little more con
scious about the way he speaks
since he went over to ride in En
gland and he dresses much
smarter than before.
“When he’d come out here
before,” says one regular at
Latonia, where the $150,000
Jim Beam Spiral Stakes, first
step on the Kentucky Triple
Crown, will be run March 27,
“he’d usually be wearing a West
ern-style snap shirt, jeans and
boots. The last time he came to
the track, though, you could see
the British influence. He had on
a tweed jacket, a vest and a tie.”
In his contract with Sangster,
Cauthen, who rode Affirmed to
the Triple Crown in 1978, has a
provision that allows him to
come to the United States to ride
in the Kentucky Derby if he
wishes. He doesn’t have any
plans to do so.
“The Three Thousand
Guineas, the first 3-year-old
classic of the year, will be run at
Newmarket on the same day as

said, explaining why he prob

May.
