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

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. Bob Arum
of Top Rank Inc. will make the
matches. WarnerAmex will tele-

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-

the intersection of the South

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.
