Carl Lewis, looking to the world he doesn’t need aid of drugs to get high or heads the long jump field day as the 1984 indoor track d field season reaches its cli- ix with the U.S. National lampionships. The event is the final meet in $150,000 Grand Prix series ansored by Mobil. Lewis originally planned to this meet as it did not fit io his rigid Olympic training icdule. But the world indoor tord-holder in the long jump feet 10 'A inches) decided had something to prove. Lewis was the subject of pub- d reports in an Oslo, Nor- newspaper last August that tested positive for testoste- ne,adrug banned by the In- raational Amateur Athletic deration, at the World Track Field Championships in Isinki where he won three d medals. The 1AAF denied the story, after the drug scandal at the American Games two eks later embarrassed Ameri- !/ United Press International LUBBOCK — Alvin Rob ertson and Ricky Norton con tributed 11 points a piece as the 14th ranked Arkansas Razor- backs took a 55-49 victory over Texas Tech Thursday night. Arkansas improved its record to 22-4 overall and 13-1 in the Southwest Conference. The Red Raiders dropped to 14-10 overall and 8-5 in the confer- The Razorbacks opened the scoring and kept the Red Raid ers from ever taking the lead. Bubba Jennings tied the score at 12-12 with his only basket of the first half — the closest Tech ever came to controlling the game. Jennings finished the night with 10 points. Center Joe Kleine quickly pulled Arkansas out of the tie with a 6-foot field goal, then completed two free throws. Arkansas led 28-19 at the half, but Jennings led a Tech scoring drive early in the period adding 4 points. Dwight Phillips added a field goal to bring the Red Raiders to within 3 points, 36-33. The Razorbacks controlled the rest of the game, keeping the Raiders at least 5 points be hind. can officials, it was decided to have mandatory testing at all national championship meets. Thus, Lewis thinks his partici pation in the indoor meet will erase any doubts about his abil- ity- “I hope this will put those sto ries to rest,” Lewis said. “Early in the indoor season I indicated I might not partici pate in the Indoor Champion ships. My indoor schedule, with the Olympics paramount, was to be a limited one. Inasmuch as I did not see myself being a fac tor in the Grand Prix overall competition, I thought perhaps I would forego the National Championships this one year. The world indoor re cord-holder in the long jump (28 feet 10 l A inches) decided he had something to prove. “However, my condition and preparation are excellent, so I have decided to participate. ter all, I won both the long jump and the 60-yard dash last year, and the long jump in 1982.” When Lewis won last year’s 60, edging Ron Brown, he be came only the second athlete in the Championships’ history to double in the 60 and the long jump; only Barney Ewell, who pulled it off in 1945, had ever done so before. But this year there is good reason for Lewis not to attempt a double. For one thing, his su premacy in the sprints is in doubt after a poor season. Brown beat him in San Diego last week, and he lost to some- to an one named Paul Narracott in Japan in January. “The key to beating Lewis is et out in front of him early stay there,” says Brown, the 1983 Grand Prix champion in the 60. Emmit King, who is hav ing an excellent season, is also entered in the 60 and wishes Lewis were entered in the event. “If I train hard enough I can beat Carl Lewis,” King says flatly. “I would have liked to have had Carl Lewis in the race. I’m running well. I’m stronger at the end but I have to work on my start.” Photo by DEANSAITO Ags play Horns Saturday Kenny Brown scores against Texas earlier this season. Brown scored 16 in that game. The Texas A&M basketball team will take on the University of Texas Saturday at 7 p.m. in Aus tin. The Aggies beat Texas 68-52 earlier this season. Texas’ win over Baylor earlier this week guaranteed the Longhorns will not repeat as the Southwest Conferences’ worst team. Learn to Fly Sailplanes!
