United Press International FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — With an emphasis on offensive basics, Arkansas coach Lou Holtz took his No. 9 Razorbacks through drills in pads to prepare for their Southwest Confernce meeting with Texas Tech Saturday. “We went back to the fundamentals today on offense,” Holtz said Tuesday. “We were trying to get things done.” Holtz said freshman linebacker Ravin Caldwell turned in some outstanding plays during the three-on-three drill near the end of Tuesday’s workout. Offensive linemen Steve Korte and Alfred Mohammed also drew praise. “I’ve never seen Korte and Mohammed have as good a day as they had today,” Holtz said. Receiver Derek Holloway, idle since the Navy game with a strained knee, practiced Tuesday. Holtz said the senior’s knee tightened up during the workout and he will probably not play against Tech. “He should be ready for Houston,” Holtz said. The Razorbacks play Houston Oct. 23. Sophomore linebacker Mark Lee will miss to day’s practice with a strained back, Holtz said, but will return Thursday and should play against the Red Raiders in the Hogs’ second Fayetteville out ing of the season. Defensive backs Nathan Jones and Danny Wal ters “played as well today as I’ve seen,” Holtz said. The Hogs conclude their contact work Wednesday before tapering for Saturday’s 2 p.m. game at Razorback Stadium.

I The union’s decision means Sunday’s ■j opening game at RFK Stadium will be play- K* r\ i^ ct - 1^- The second all-star game will not ^ vJlVbe played in Philadelphia as planned. I Federal Judge John Penn is expected to decide this week if the striking players can j j. play in the series of 19 games Turner plans s for the Raiders to victory. His two friends, members of the Texas Tech “Saddle Tramps,” provide an escort for Flathers, known in some circles as Yosemite Sam. The Raider has helped lead Tech to a 2-2 record. to televise to more than 22 million homes. “Players have been unduly harassed by management with temporary restraining orders barring them from playing,” Owens said. “We have decided to await a favorable court decision.” The union filed suit in Washington to block the NFL owners from stopping the all-star games. Union lawyers appeared be fore Penn Monday and said player contracts are no longer enforceable and the NFL can not stop them from playing in the games. “Because of the delay, the promoters have decided to move the second game to another location,” an NFLPA statement said. “The site of the second game will be announced Wednesday afternoon. “Practice plans have also been delayed for a week. The All Stars from the National and American East teams will begin practice at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., Oct. 12.” NFLPA spokesman Jay Benoit said the union would not lose any money because of the decision to postpone the games. Tickets for the games had not gone on sale, he said. “I can’t speak for (Turner) but I don’t think he’s going to lose any money,” Benoit pointed out. The games will be televised by Turner’s Atlanta cable SuperStation, WTBS. Net work affiliates and independent television stations across the nation also have signed up to carry the games, the Turner Broad casting System said. t-shirt design contest turn in designs by FRIDflV, OCTOBER 13 MSC 26 — 5PO Office PRIZES & GIFT COUPONS is just lytfjtfl 'Sters used its season) and many ways '■ear and his lining factor Switzer says Oklahoma’s chances good Saturday i, right next IK United Press International nates SniitH ;N0RMAN > okla - ~ A frus - > acrobatict rate d B arr y Switzer says the i for MVPl!l Itcorne °f tke Oklahoma- in a hundir* exas football game Saturday n ,1,, m !

Celebrating his 45th birthday weekly news media lun- !on Tuesday, Switzer said: “I isCam to win the football game, iut it isn’t going to be life or Hth. “I think we can win it. I think if we play good we’ll win the football game.” Switzer said he was frustrated by three consecutive losses to the Longhorns, including a 34-14 loss a year ago. Texas has “about the same team” and its “tendencies are ab out the same” as last year in re sponding to situations, he said. The Longhorns have speedy and “good defensive backs” while their linebackers have “range and height” although they are not as big as those of past years, Switzer said. Offensively, Texas has “big strong running backs,” he said. “You beat Texas with a great defense,” Switzer said. “You won’t beat Texas by throwing the football.” Switzer said Texas plays good man-to-man pass defense while its line puts a strong rush on the quarterback, preventing good passes. He said the Sooner defense was “encouraging” in last week’s 13-3 victory over Iowa State, although Wilson’ shoulder in jury suffered in that game prob ably will keep him out of action this weekend. The victory, Switzer said, gives Oklahoma momentum going into the Texas clash. Oklahoma’s offense will in clude some I-formation plays, initiated a week ago, he said. “We’ll probably run some wishbone and mix it up,” he said. Oklahoma has been working on “a couple of things” to add to its play book for the Longhorns, he said without hinting at what the Sooners might be. “We’re trying to expand as much as we can,” he said. “We’ve got to do the things we’re doing now a lot better.” L ‘ments ohoto- ATTENTION JUNIOR, SENIOR & GRADUATE ENGINEERING STUDENTS!!
