Tech tops Pepperdine
TANK >I« NA>I VHA
United Press International
Beset by defections and a dis
ciplinary problem that forced
coach Gerald Myers to kick
three players off his team, the
Texas Tech Red Raiders experi
enced an unpleasant season last
year.
There were more Tech
cheerleaders at the games than
basketball players and the Raid
ers suffered through an 11-20
season, the first losing campaign
since Myers took over the team
in 1971.
But because of Myers’ ability
to get the most out of a team, it
was expected Tech would be
back in a hurry. And the Raiders
made it back even quicker than
that.
Texas Tech won its fifth con
secutive game Saturday night.
drubbing Pepperdine in Lub
bock, 82-64. Earlier in the week
Pepperdine had beaten nation
ally ranked Wichita.
In addition. Tech owns a vic
tory over Nebraska in Lincoln —
the same team that knocked off
Arkansas Saturday night, 67-54.
Tech shot 54 percent from
the field, turned the ball over
only nine times and generally
outplayed the Waves.
“But it was our second half
defense that did it,” said Myers.
“Make no mistake, Pepperdine
is a good team.”
Just how good a team Tech
might be could be answered this
week when the Raiders reward
themselves by taking a trip to
Tokyo for two games in the Sun-
tory Classic.
Tech will face DePaul on
Thursday and Alabama on
Friday.
The Raiders will take a 5-1 re
cord to Japan, one of three SWC
teams with such a mark.
Houston advanced to 5-1 as
well with a key win early in the
week over LSU and a 71-55 deci
sion over St. Mary’s Saturday
night. Michael Young continued
his early season work with 24
points while Akeem Olajuwon
claimed 13 rebounds and block
ed six shots.
Southern Methodist is also 5-
1, having shaken off a one-sided
loss to Louisville to post wins
over Pennsylvania and lightly
regarded Georgia State.
The shocker of the week was
Arkansas’ loss in Nebraska,
where the Cornhuskers took
advantage of cold Razorbacks
shooting in the second period to
pull off the surprise.
“I don’t believe I’ve ever had a
ball club go as cold as we did at
the beginning of the second
half,” said Arkansas coach Eddie
Sutton.
Elsewhere around the confer
ence there was not much to gloat
about.
TCU did slip past Idaho
State, 53-52, in the opening
round of the Marshall Memorial
Invitational, but then the host
school routed the Horned
Frogs, 90-67.
Other than Tech’s trip to
Tokyo, the highlights of next
week’s schedule will feature
SMU’s apperance in the Dallas
Morning News Classic, Houston
hosting the Kettle Classic and
Texas A&M taking part in the
Indiana Classic.
Midland
rolls
to Texas 5 A final
United Press International
The Midland Lee Rebels have
one more team left to convince.
They certainly convinced the
Plano Wildcats last Saturday as
they defeated the Wildcats to
advance to the Texas 5A state
football championship.

“I’m like (Odessa Permian
coach) John Wilkins,” said Plano
coach Tom Kimbrough. “I think
Midland Lee will win the state
championship.”
But to do so the Rebels must
overcome Converse Judson in
the Class 5A title game which
will feature two ground attacks
that are not used to stopping for
anybody.
Midland Lee and Converse
Judson will meet next Saturday
in Texas Stadium to decide one
of the five state championships
that will be on the line.
The Rebels used touchdown
runs of 32, 45, 72 and 61 yards
— the last two of those by Walter
Jones —to overcome a 14-6 half
time deficit and oust Plano from
the playoffs, 35-14. Last week
Lee defeated powerhouse Odes
sa Permian 20-0.
Converse Judson likewise
came from behind in the second
half to defeat Houston Yates,
29-19. Judson running back
Chris Pryor became the single
season rushing record holder
for Texas 5 A football, raising his
1983 total to 2,600 yards to sur
pass the record of 2,411 held by
former SMU star Craig James.
