The Razorbacks, however,
outscored the Frogs down the
stretch, 11-2.
Snively and Alvin Robertson
each scored 14 points, while the
steady play of Darrell Walker
brought him 15 points.
TCU was paced by Darrell
Browder with 12 and Doug
Arnold with 11.
“We had few turnovers (11),
rebounded well and played
sound defense,” Sutton said. “If
we play like we did tonight, we
can beat a lot of teams around
the country. TCLI has good ta
lent. They’re as good as anyone
we’ve played. We wore them
down a little at the end and that’s
why the final margin was 1.4
points.”
TCU, which lost by three
points at home to Houston last
week, is 3-2 in league play and
12-4 overall. And after it was
over, Frogs coach Jim Killing-
sworth said he would not com
pare the Hogs and Cougars.
“Whichever one plays their
game will win,” he said.
In Austin, two teams without
a conference victory struggled
through a poor-shooting night
with Texas holding a mere 21-
18 halftime lead.

didn’t prove
its ‘findings’
on at the end for the one-point
victory.
Starting guard Jack Worth
ington left the Texas squad over
the weekend and the Longhorns
were forced to start two fresh
men. In addition, coach Bob
Weltlich put a player into the
game — David Willett — who
had never scored a point as a
collegian despite the fact that
he’s a junior.
Willett had tried to make the
team as a walk-on two years ago
and failed. This year, however,
he made the roster and scored
four points Wednesday night.
Two of them were critical free
throws with 44 seconds re
maining.
Rice now has undisputed pos
session of the SWC cellar with an
0-5 conference mark, both the
Owls and Longhorns are 6-9 for
the year.
The next action in the confer
ence does not come until Satur
day when, in addition to the
Houston-Arkansas game,
Baylor will visit TCU, Texas
Tech w ill host Rice and SMU will
go to Texas A&M.

UPI Sports Editor
LOS ANGELES — Bookies
are like umpires. Nobody likes
‘em.
They never take sides — they
let you do that. But they take a
lot of abuse and ignore it.
They’re honest. When’s the last
time you ever heard any of them
not paying off 100 cents on the
dollar? And they generally call
‘em as they see ‘em, too.
You should hear what a
bookie calls you if you habitually
do business with him. You know
what he says you are? A degen
erate. But he doesn’t say that to
your face because he has a nice,
quiet respect for your cash and
would like to see it keep flowing
in his direction.
One of the more widely
accepted fallacies about bookies
is that they never lose. That’s not
true. Sometimes they do, and
sometimes they even have to go
to the loan company to borrow
money so they can pay you.
They always pay. They have
to or they’re out of business.
Another fallacy about them is
that they have no souls. They do.
They even pray, and do you
know what they pray for most?
An honest game.
Mention the word “fix” to a
bookmaker, let him hear any
kind of rumble about some play
ers trying to do “business” in a
particular game, and it’s like
driving a stake through his
heart. He’s the one with the most
to lose if a game is fixed.
I didn’t bother taking a poll
of how many bookmakers
watched Monday night’s Public
Broadcasting Service telecast,
the one called “An Unautho
rized History of the NFL,” but
they must have doubled up
laughing over the production.
The telecast was supposed to
have documented a number of
NFL games that were fixed be
tween 1968 and 1970, but it
didn’t. Nor did it offer any con
clusive new evidence or proof
that Carroll Rosenbloom, the
former owner of the Los
Angeles Rams who drowned off
the coast of Florida in 1979,
might have been murdered by
elements of organized crime be
cause of his gambling connec
tions.
The PBS show was the first in
a series called “Front Line.” It
promised startling revelations
and then, disappointingly, did
not provide so much as one.
The consensus among the
people I talked to who watched
the telecast was, it was “shallow”
and “unconvincing.”
According to David Fanning,
executive producer of the show,
it was meant to be “a commit
ment to good journalism and
fairness,” but I don’t call it good
journalism or fairness when
charges are made by a paid in
former and aren’t supported.
That’s sounds more like yellow
journalism to me.
Where were all the names
and dates? Nowhere that I could
see. If you went into court with a
case like that, it would be thrown
out in no time.
Nobody is more opposed to
gambling on NFL games than
Pete Rozelle. He realizes,
however, that gambling is a fact
of life and no matter how much
he and his security force do to
prevent it within the league,
there’s nothing he can possibly
do to stop it outside.
Rozelle said: “The telecast
claimed $25 billion is bet on our
games. That shows how much
confidence the public has in the
games. The bookies, too. Do you
think they’d handle the games if
they felt there was something
wrong with them?
“When they put out a line
each week on every game and
make minimal changes, up or
down as little as a half-point, and
depend on the player injury re
ports they get from us, doesn’t
that indicate how much faith
they have in us?”
Yeah, Pete, and you know
how those bookies are. The only
one some of them trust is God.
Everyone else has to bring cash.
