Rice basketball team
mm
Women lookim
ready for ‘big game’
United Press International
It has been rare over the past 10
to 12 years that the Rice Owls
have been involved in a “big
game.”
But they will be involved in
one Wednesday night, at least a
relatively big one. And the out
come will help determine if the
Owls are ready to move out of
one Southwest Conference
neighborhood into another.
“We’ve worked hard and fin
ally gotten in a position to have a
crucial game,” said Rice coach
Tommy Suitts. “Now, if we can
win this one, we will be OK.”
The Owls, having split their
first two league contests, will
host the Texas Tech Wednesday
night in one of three league
games on the agenda.
A Rice win would firmly im
plant the Owls in the middle
portion of the SWC pack, which
would not be all that spectacular
but which would be a sharp im
provement from the spot in
which they usually find them
selves.
The Owls won the SWC in
1970 and since then have not
finished any better than fifth.
They are the only team never to
have won a game in the league’s
post-season tournament.
Their opponent Wednesday
night is a sharply improved club
that will bring a 2-1 league re
cord into the contest and which
has had a week to stew over a
20-point, loss at home to
Houston.
“There are probably not
many people outside our prog
ram who think we can win it,”
said Suitts, whose team played
decently in a losing effort
against Texas A&M, played well
in a loss to SMU and then beat
both TCU and Texas.

“Our Christmas break took a

United Press International
WASHINGTON — The fed
eral government Tuesday
opposed the NCAA in a dispute
pending at the Supreme Court
over the group’s multi-million-
dollar arrangement with televi
sion networks to broadcast col
lege football.
The National Collegiate
Athletic Association has asked
the high court to rule that it can
continue its broadcasting deal,
which involved $74.3 million in
payments in 1983, and audi
ences of up to 22.5 million for
each game broadcast.
A federal appeals court had
ruled the package is anti
competitive because it reduces
the number of games available
to TV viewers nationwide.
Last July, Justice Byron
White, one-time All-America
halfback, issued an order allow
ing the NCAA to continue its
normal broadcasting schedule
until the high court settles the
case. The court’s decision is like
ly by July.
In legal papers submitted to
the court Tuesday, the federal
government urged the nine jus
tices to uphold the lower court’s
ruling against the NCAA.
“It is clear, and both courts
below found, that absent these
controls the amount of such
broadcasting would be much
greater, the televised games
would better coincide with con
sumer preferences, and pay
ments received would vary con
siderably to reflect anticipated
viewer interest in each particu
lar football match-up,” govern
ment lawyers argued.
Also, Solicitor General Rex
Lee argued, NCAA’s joint oper
ating venture restricts the
opportunities for smaller
schools to appear on television,
and reduces the chances for ma
jor football schools to appear “as
frequently as consumer demand
would dictate.”
