The Cougars, 15-2, play No. 3 Kentucky, 12-2, Sunday, and one Houston player said on Thursday it was impossible not to be thinking about challenging the Wildcats in a nationally tele vised game in Lexington, Ky. Other Cougars tried the im possible. “Do we play Kentucky?” guard Reid Gettys said. Coach Guy Lewis added: “Somebody told me. But I want to think about Rice.” Houston hosts the crosstown rival Owls, 6-8, who for the first time in years are a legitimate threat to finish in the confer ence’s upper division. The Cougars go for their 30th straight win in SWC play. Then on Saturday, the Cougars fly to Lexington, Ky., for a long-awaited battle of the nation’s best centers. It will be Cougars 7-foot junior Akeem Olajuwon against the Wildcats' “aircraft carrier” front line of Mel Turpin and Sam Bowie. The Wildcats will discover that the Cougars are not so much the “Phi Slama Jama” fraternity members that they were last year. Their key to suc cess against the top teams in the country is the play of the “Smother Brothers” trio of re serve guards. That group enters the game as a unit and presses fullcourt at all times. It is what has made Houston 5-0 in SWC play. Junior Eric Dickens is the “Brothers” captain. “I think we can put some pressure on Kentucky,” he said.

Starting guard Gettys, who sits down when the “Brothers” get up, lauds their efforts. “I think it’s a key his year. Those thiee guys have come in off the bench and done a superb job providing enthusiasm and hustle, getting a lot of loose balls,” he said. The Cougars, since the loss to the pros of forwards Clyde Drexler and Larry Micheaux, are down in rebounding and way up in outside shooting. In the last two games, however, shooting forward Michael Young is 11 of 28 from the field. “I watched Kentucky Auburn,” Young said. “I tfiink the referees are going to let it be a very physical game. If we get out and play our type of ball- game, we shouldn’t have any problems. We have played some tough games, but none as tough as Kentucky will be.” Arkansas hosts indoor track United Press International FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Defending NCAA track cham pion Southern Methodist and Big Eight power Iowa State headline the field todav in a :k; quadrangular indoor track meet hosted by the University of Arkansas.
