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.

snguins abpWASHINGTON — This weekend’s all-
s passfromt! stai football games sponsored by the strik-
ected offPtlPg NFL players union and feci Turner’s
oug SheddfOeo empire have been postponed until a
Michel Dm( u dge decides if the games are legal.
iB“We need a full schedule of practices and
the indecision this week would not allow us
j to adequately prepare for the games,” Brig
I nDwens, of the NFL Players Association, said
Uldruesday.
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.

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.”
