Heading into tonight’s game in Fayetteville against fifth- ranked (but, because of a 75-60 loss to Houston, soon to be dis placed) Arkansas, the Lon ghorns are suiting up eight play ers — five scholarship athletes, three walk-ons and no returning starters from last year’s team. First-year coach Bob Welt- lich’s assistants outnumber his bench. Late last week, the former assistant to coach Bobby Knight of Indiana refused to discuss the team’s status and preparations for Arkansas, though earlier in the week he was emphasizing his efforts to prevent the team from wallowing in its misfortune. “Why should we feel sorry for A NEW CLASS IN STUDENT LIVING! • compact, efficient space • 3 minutes from campus • security/covered parking • washer/dryer in every unit • CHANCE FOR FREE TRIP TO EUROPE* (* subject to total occupancy) 846-8960 Domino’s Pizza Delivers.?.

J L ourselves when Houston, Arkansas, Rice and all the others aren’t?,” Weltlich said Tuesday after losing three starters in one day. “My guess is the people we play will try to run us into the ground.” Some already have. Through 15 games this season the Lon ghorns are 6-9 and many are predicting the team’s most re cent win, a 47-45 squeaker over Rice last Wednesday, will be it’s last. Last year, through 15 games under the tempestuous tutelage of coach Abe Lemons, the Lon ghorns were 14-1. But the 1981- 82 Longhorns won only two more games after the last start while losing 10. Exit Lemons. Enter Weltlich. Exit 10 players from the playing roster. Of the departed 10, one, LaSalle Thompson, left via the NBA. Academics claimed two, injuries two others and Weltlich dismissed two for disciplinary reasons. One transferred to be closer to home, one gave up the sport and Jack Worthington, the sole returning starter on the team, said he was directed by “the Lord” to transfer to Southwest Texas State. The transition from Lemons to Weltlich has been anything but divine, but Lemons, who is reluctant to discuss the current program and refuses to offer any words of advice for Weltlich, says the problems should not have been unexpected. “Everytime you have a changeover there is some adver sity to deal with,” said Lemons. “Before Coach Weltlich came some of the players asked me if they could play for him and I told them all they had to do is find out what the people want and then decide. But it’s out of my hands now. ” Still, the divorce ran UT program has b with little hope of raw this year.

The 6-foot 1-inch quarter back f rom Port Arthur Jeffer son is perhaps the No. 1 high school quarterback in the state. Because of Aggie coach Jackie Sherrill’s pro-style offense, Texas A&M was considered to have an edge in his recruitment. During his senior year, Stump passed for 2,088 yards and 18 touchdowns while lead ing the Yellow Jackets to their second consecutive District 22- 5A title and an 1 1-1 record. Stump was named to several post-season teams, including the all-Greater Houston and all- state 5A football squads. He was also listed as one of nineteen players on the Dallas l imes 1 let aid’s blue chip list, selected by Southwest ence coaches.
