Arizona comeback trips Feds, 22-21 WASHINGTON (UPI) — It hasn’t been long since Alan Risher was quarterbacking Louisiana State, but he feels he’s come a long way in a short time, with more to travel. Risher passed for 310 yards and three touchdowns Monday night to help the Arizona Wranglers nip the Washington Federals, 22-21. Risher and fellow rookie wide receiver Jackie Flowers com bined on a USFL-record, 98- yard touchdown pass as well as a 2-yard scoring toss and Risher added a 79-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Murray. Jim Asmus added a 49-yard field goal for the Wranglers, 3-3. Joe Gilliam, playing his first pro game in seven years, threw 22 and 17-yard touchdown pas ses to Joey Walters, and James Mayberry scored on a 2-yard run for the Federals, 1-5. Gilliam hit 1 l-of-31 passes for 203 yards, but threw four inter ceptions. He was kicked in the back and pulled a hamstring muscle in his left leg on the first TD pass to Walters, with 9:53 left in the first half, and played the rest of the game limping badly. Risher, who hit 16-of-30 pas ses for 310 yards, found Flowers eight times for 179 yards and was intercepted twice. “Every week I feel more com fortable,” said Risher. “Working against a four-man front (de fense) has been a big adjustment because we saw mostly five-man fronts in college.” Arizona rallied from a 21-13 halftime deficit, starting with Asmus’ field goal with 6:26 left in the third quarter. Moments later, Washington had a first down at the Arizona 1. But the Wranglers stopped the Federals and took possession. After gaining a yard on first down, Risher hit Flowers at mid- field. Risher had slipped to one Heiress’ new boxing club shows promise United Press International HOUSTON — From thor oughbreds to heavyweights, it’s all exciting competition for Josephine Abercrombie, heiress of one of Houston’s wealthiest families. Abercrombie, whose pre vious contributions to Houston have included Abercrombie Foundation donations to the symphony, opera and museum of natural science and whose stables were the sight of the pre stigious Pin Oak Charity Horse Show, has a new game in town. She has organized the new Houston Boxing Association us ing some of the money her fami ly has earned in oil, real estate, farming, securities, thorough bred breeding and retail beef. She and HBA have sche duled 12 months of boxing for Astrohall in the Astrodome complex. “I love competition,” Ms. Abercrombie said. “I’ve always loved it. I had been involved in training and showing horses for years. I’ve been interested in boxing for some time but only became an active fan five or six years ago. HBA’s Ring Leader Series will offer 12 cards, one per month, starting May 16. She said 3,000 spectators in the 8,000-seat hall will put the program on a break-even basis. Ms. Abercrombie is hopeful at least 2,000 season tickets will be sold. Three-hundred already have been purchased. Even if the 3,000-seat ticket goal is not met, Jos. Schlitz & Co. recently committed $175,000 in sponsorship money, all but guaranteeing a successful first year. HBA already has made na tional arrangements.

Murray took Risher’s short toss 79 yards for a touchdown on the Wranglers’ second play of the game. On the Federals’ first score. Gilliam passed 1 1 yards to Billy Taylor and 41 yards to Walters to set up Mayberry’s TD with 1:55 left in the first period. Washington stopped Arizona and moved 48 yards in eight plays for Gilliam’s first scoring pass to Walters nearly 10 mi nutes before halftime. The touchdown pass was Gil liam’s first since Oct. 5, 1975, when he quarterbacked the Pitt sburgh Steelers to a 42-6 victory over the Cleveland Browns. “I’m proud of the way we moved the ball, but the only . thing that matters is winning,” he said. “If there is a bright spotl it is that we showed we can run the football, but that doesn’t make up in any manner for the^ loss.” Worthy out for season vise the May, June and July cards nationally on cable. Eleven of the first 12 prog rams will be for the profession als. The amateurs will take over in September, when the U.S. National team will take on the West German National team. Ms. Abercrombie said her in terest in boxing goes back to the Joe Louis-Max Schmelling fight. “My parents’ stories about that trip and the excitement of a heavyweight championship fight piqued my interest. I think I became a fight fan listening to what they told me about their adventure,” she said. Promoting good bouts is not her only interest. Ms. Aber crombie said her goal is to bring a world championship to Hous ton. HBA is building a 6,000- square-foot training facility near the intersection of the South west Freeway and the West Loop. United Press International INGLEWOOD, Calif. — James Worthy, the NBA’s top draft pick last year and a stand out for the Los Angeles Lakers, will undergo surgery today to fuse a bone back together in his leg and will be out of action for at least six months. The loss of the 6-foot-9 rookie forward, who suffered a fractured tibia just below his knee in Sunday night’s game against the Phoenix Suns, se verely damages the Lakers’ chances of becoming the first team since 1969 to repeat as NBA champions. Worthy was injured with 10 seconds left in the third quarter of the Lakers’ 101-95 loss at the Forum. After attempting to tip in a missed shot, he landed on his left leg, then tumbled to the floor with Suns’ forward Maurice Lucas. “I don’t feel too good right now, I’m sort of down,” Worthy said Monday. Asked if the Lak ers could repeat as champions wit hout him, Worthy smiled and said, “Why not? They won it without me last year.” Dr. Stephen Lombardo will perform the surgery, which will consist of inserting one or two screws to hold the fracture in position while it is healing, in Centinela Hospital. “We feel optimistic about his eventual return,” said Lakers’ team physician Dr. Robert Ker- lan. “Without complication, the prognosis for the future is excel lent and it is expected James will be ready to return to action in approximately six months.” Worthy was being counted on to give the Lakers the offense off the bench that they lost when Bob McAdoo broke a bone in his foot one game after the All-Star break. McAdoo probably will not be able to return until late in the playoffs, if at all. Since McAdoo has been side lined, Worthy has made more than 60 percent of his shots from the field. In the last seven games before being injured he had shot a sizzling 76 percent. SPORT* DRESS SHIRTS NC*^Q99 AHD dHLY*y up' factory Buyouts • closeouts• bankruptstoik MAMt.
