LITTLE ROCK, Ark. —

the task of making the Uni-

competitive nationally and
the Southwest Conference,
the Razorbacks will need a

ieve that goal.
Loy, who coached Scottsdale
Community College to
[elast two national junior col-
national championships,
named Sunday as Arkansas’
full-time golf coach by
itic director Frank Broyles,
told UPI Monday in a tele-
e interview from Phoenix,

Loy said Broyles told him that

and we’ll do that by traveling
over the country — any weather
problems we’ll have in Fayette
ville will be overlooked because
of the schedule and competi
tion.”
The harsh weather of Fayet
teville and the lack of top
courses in the area have been
cited as reasons why Arkansas
hadn’t (or couldn’t) develop a
national contender in golf. Loy
discounted that notion.
“Oklahoma State’s weather
can’t be any better than Arkan
sas’,” he said. “Brigham Young
must have more snow than any
body, and they are both very
competitive. The schedule
should overcome any problems
with weather or facilities.”
Loy, a native of Albuquerque,
N.M., who attended Eastern
New Mexico University and the
Unived of Utah, said he already
has commitments from three
junior college players to join him
in the Ozarks. Two of those
players, who both played for
Loy at Scottsdale, Finished First
and third in the national junior
college tournament this year.
Steve Swartz of Phoenix, a
sophomore-to-be, set a NJCAA
record for the lowest score in the
national tournament, Loy said,
and won the Arizona qualifying
tournament for the National
Publinx tournament. Mike
Grob, a two-time Montana high
school champion from Billings,
was the regional juco medalist.
Loy said he also has a commit
ment from Lima, Ohio, native
Tim Crockett, who attended
Palm Beach Junior College in
Florida. He said he expects to
sign all three.
Loy also said he would visit
the national high school tourna
ment in Albuquerque and other
major amateur tournaments.
“My First priority is making sure
the recruiting is firmly in hand,”
he said. Loy said he and Broyles
had talked to top golf coaches
around the country to find what
ingredients were needed to
make Arkansas golf successful.
“When a man of his (Broyles’)
stature decides to Commit to the
golf program, it’s going to suc
ceed,” Loy said. “He’s the only
person I know in sports adminis
tration that is a member of Au
gusta National. That tells you
what an advocate he is for golf.
We have to take that and run
with it.”
Loy said Broyles’ commit
ment was a reason he decided to
leave his job as Scottsdale’s assis
tant athletic director.
“He asked me what would it
take,” Loy said. “I told him we
have to have what Texas and
Houston have. That’s the only
way we can compete with them.”

USFL teams feeling heat
from old Mother Nature
The Saturday forecast for the greater
Chicago area wasn’t unusual. A National
Weather Service prediction called for
sunny skies, with a high of 93 degrees. It
was perfect weather for a summer’s day.
Unless, of course, you’re a profession
al football player. Football, as rumour
has it, is supposed to be a winter sport.
Who could forget the Green Bay Pack
ers, playing in sub-zero weather on a
field that resembled a tundra, with play
ers on the sidelines bundled up like
Eskimos?
But some like it hot. Count the United
States Football League in. The USFL has
said “phooey’ to that cold-weather no
tion, opting for a spring-summer sche
dule instead of bumping schedules head-
to-head with the NFL. The impact of that
decision, however, isjust starting to make
itself known.
The USFL is definately feeling the
heat.
Back to Chicago. The NWS was off by
about six degrees, and the temperature
reached a record high of 99. If you were
a member of the Chicago Blitz or the
Michigan Panthers, however, 99 would
have seemed like an icebox.
The Panthers and the Blitz squared
off Saturday to determine who would
have the upper hand in the USFL’s Cen
tral Division (Michigan won 34-19). The
score was secondary, though, to an even
more impressive statistic — on the floor
of Soldier Field, where the teams battled
it out, the mercury soared to 134 de
grees.
j John
wagner
That’s hot.
A crowd of 25,041 —7,100 more than
the Blitz’s average home attendance —
sat in the heat to watch the contest. You
have to wonder, however, how long that
will last. And even more importantly,
how long can the players stand it?
An example: Late in the fourth quar
ter, Chicago’s Trumaine Johnson caught
a nine-yard touchdown pass to cut the
Panthers’ lead to 27-12. After leaving the
Field, Johnson sat on the bench, a wet
towel draped over his head, and four
sideline attendants hovered over him,
trying to revive the burned-out — and no
doubt overheated — wide receiver.
And the USFL’s season is far from
over. The teams have played seventeen
of the eighteen-game schedule, not
counting the playoffs. Baseball’s All-Star
game will have come and gone, and the
USFL will still be playing.
The 12-team league, in its First season,
is planning to expand to sixteen teams
for the 1984 campaign. Houston is
among the cities that have already been
granted a franchise. The Gamblers are
still in the process of looking for a place
to play, but Rice Stadium appears to be
owner Dr. Jerry Argovitz’s first choice.
Talk about gambling.
Houston in July? Outdoors? With all
that humidity? It could be dangerous.
This is something Argovitz ought to
think about. If he is a kind man — and
judging from the salary he lavished on
the No. 1 Gambler, quarterback Jim Kel
ly, he must be — then he should put his
team in the Astrodome.
Kelly played his college football at
warm-weather Miami, but what about
the rest of the team? What if their idea of
hot is a date on Saturday night, not a
game on Saturday afternoon?
Playing in heat is one thing. Playing in
heat and humidity is another. Housto
nians can tell horror stories about the
taxing effects of living in all that humid
ity. Sweating, dehydration, lack of ener
gy, loss of memory — and that’s just after
walking to the mailbox. Try tackling 230-
pound fullbacks for 60 minutes. It’s
enough to make your face mask melt.
Then again, some like it hot, and the
USFL may Find battling the summer heat
more palatable than battling the NFL in
the winter. And like they say, it’s better to
burn out than to fade away.
Rockets to pick Ralph today in draft
United Press International
HOUSTON —With the No. 1
pick in today’s NBA draft de
cided months ago, wider specu
lation in Houston has been de
voted to whom the Rockets will
select with their second choice —
the third pick in the first round.
The Rockets have already
advertised a “Welcome Ralph
Sampson” promotion for
tonight in their home arena, the
Summit.
Houston ended tied with
Cleveland with the worse record
in basketball last season and won
the right to select First in a coin
flip. It has been no secret owner
Charlie Thomas will call the
name of the 7-4 Virginia center
when the draft begins.
Monday it appeared the team
was intent on taking Rodney
McCray of Louisville as the third
player selected, despite some
efforts in Houston by fans to get
the club to take Clyde Drexler, a
member of the NCAA runner-
up Houston Cougars. Drexler, a
junior last season, announced he
would forego his last year of col
lege ball.
McCray, a 6-7, 220-pound
forward, apparently was the
choice of coach Bill Fitch.
“I would say that we are lean
ing heavily toward McCray,”
Fitch said. “He can do a lot of
things on the basketball floor. In
looking at Films, we have been
extremely impressed with him.”
McCray was voted player of
the game in the Aloha Classic, a
post-season tournament for
NBA prospects. At Louisville,
he averaged 11 points and 8.4
rebounds.
Rockets spokesman Jim Foley
said the team was leaning to
ward McCray over Tennessee’s
Dale Ellis.
“McCray is a fine shooter
from 15 feet in. He’s a great pas
ser and a hard worker,” Foley
said.
It was possible an llth-hour
trade Monday of the No. 3
choice could send McCray else
where. The Rockets entertained
offers, but Foley said the team
did not get anything it was in
terested in.
Thomas and Rockets General
Manager Ray Patterson Monday
flew to New York, where the
NBA will hold the annual draft.
Sampson and McCray are ex
pected to be in New York also.
