HOUSTON — Center
Akeem Olajuwon produced 19
points and guard Alvin Frank
lin scored all but two of his 14
points in the second half Sun
day to pace third-ranked Hous
ton to a comeback 64-61 win
over 1 Ith-ranked Arkansas that
virtually locked up the second
consecutive SWC title for the
Cougars.
Franklin, held without a field
goal in the first half, provided
the surge Houston needed to
overcome a withering Arkansas
defensive effort. He scored
eight straight points midway
through the second half which
gave the Cougars the lead for
good with eight minutes re
maining.
Arkansas, which was led by
Alvin Robertson’s 20 points,
owned the lead until the 14:50
mark of the second half when
Olajuwon went high over 6-11
center Joe Kleine and tipped in
a basket for a 41-40 advantage.
Houston, 25-3, won its 38th
straight Southwest Conference
game and opened a two-game
bulge over the Razorbacks. The
Cougars need only a win over
last-place Baylor Wednesday
night to capture the title.
Olajuwon, a junior who is the
leading shot blocker in the na
tion, scored 19 points, grabbed
10 rebounds and blocked six
shots. Kleine countered with 17
points and 1 1 rebounds.
Houston senior forward Mi
chael Young, the SWC’s leading
scorer, added 17 points under
heavy defensive pressure from
Leroy Sutton. Young was under
particular pressure in the first
half when Arkansas led by as
many as eight. The Razorbacks
owned a 32-27 advantage at in
termission.
Robertson made five steals in
the first 10 minutes of the game
as the Razorbacks caused Hous
ton trouble with a man-to-man,
full-court press.
Houston freshman Ricky
Winslow, who totaled 10 points
in the game, helped kept his
team close in the opening half.
The Cougars won their ninth
stright game and ended a Ra
zorbacks’ winning streak that
had reached seven contests.
The loss was Arkansas’ sec
ond in the SWC race against a
dozen wins, both of the setbacks
coming in Houston. The Razor-
backs previously lost to the Rice
Owls, 65-62.
The Razorbacks and Cougars
will meet again next Sunday in
Fayetteville and could well play
again the following Sunday in
the championship game of the
SWC’s post-season tournament.

United Press International
TAMPA, Fla. — Cary Ander
son ran for 114 yards and a pair
of touchdowns to spark the
Tampa Bay Bandits to a 20-17
triumph over the Houston
Gamblers Sunday.

run at the end of the first half
and scored the winning touch
down on a 12-yard burst with
2:33 to play in the game.
Jim Kelly, who passed for
229 yards and two Houston
touchdowns, moved the Gambl
ers to the Tampa Bay 35, but on
fourth-and-five, he was stopped
on a 2-yard keeper. The Ban
dits then took over and ran out
the clock.
Jeff Brockhaus gave Houston
the lead 17-14 in the fourth
quarter when he kicked a 26-
yard field goal.
