Coogs can clinch
SWC title in Waco
United Press International
The Houston Cougars spent
eight years trying to win their
first Southwest Conference bas
ketball championship, but now
they seem to nave the hang of it.
The Cougars are only one
win away from clinching their
second straight league crown
and that win should come
Wednesday night at home
against the Baylor Bears — a
team that has already lost 20
games.
A Houston win is so much of
a foregone conclusion that Ar
kansas coach Eddie Sutton was
already congratulating the Cou-
f ars and coach Guy Lewis last
aturday.
“It would take a miracle to
keep Houston from winning
the title,” Sutton said after
Houston’s victory over Arkan
sas last Sunday. “I don’t think
Baylor can beat them in Hous
ton.”
A Houston win would not
only bring the Cougars the

them to within one victory of
completing two consecutive
perfect sweeps through the
SWC.
That last step, however,
would have to come in Fayette
ville next Sunday afternoon
where the Razorbacks will be
seeking revenge for last week
end’s setback.
Wednesday night’s other
SWC games will have Rice visit
ing Arkansas and SMU taking
on Texas in Austin.
The Owls can expect a partic
ularly rude reception in Fayet
teville since Rice stunned Ar
kansas in Houston earlier this
season.
SMU meanwhile, will try to
advance its hopes for an NCAA
tournament Did against the
Longhorns. The Mustangs’ are
in range of their largest win to
tal ever — 26, a figure they
achieved 28 years ago.
An SMU win Wednesday
night combined with a Texas
Tech loss to Texas A&M Thurs
day night in College Station
would wrap up a third-place
finish for the Mustangs and the
first-round tournament bye
that goes with it.
If the Mustangs and Red
Raiders both win, however,
Tech would have a chance to
move into a third-place tie with
SMU when those two teams
meet Saturday night in Lub
bock.

United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It happens maybe 25
times during the course of a college football sea
son that spans several thousand games — an of
ficial will make a call that determines the game’s
outcome.
The official is making the call as objectively as
he can. It just doesn’t look that way to the team
that gets saddled with the loss and it certainly
doesn’t seem that way to that team’s fans.
“When an official is noticed , it’s always some
thing bad,” veteran Big F.ight Conference ref
eree Vance Carlson said.
Carlson was joined by the Southwest Confer
ence’s Buddy Coleman and Norbert Ackermann
of the Southeastern Conference as part of a
panel to discuss the plight of the officials in this
age of instant replays.
Media representatives in attendance asked
that the officials be more available after the
game.
Ackermann, the chairman of the SEC Offi
cials Association, said:
“1 don’t think it is going to put the officials in a
better light because there’s always going to be a
certain faction that’s not going to focus on the
calls made right, but always on the calls made
wrong.
“I have myself never been contacted, or heard
of a supervisor being contacted, with compli
ments on the good call. That’s not true with the
coaches or the players. There’s great praise in
the media about their tactical decisions.’^
The officials said they were available, at least
through conference representatives, after the
game but, "When you get in the area of judge
ment calls, that’s when the door ib ^
said Coleman.
"In the case of the SWC, we’vegotllc

60,000 people there in the siandsamla

Oklahoma State Coach Jimmy joins
he was against the media having imml

“It’s a very emotional game and them

“And there’s going to be a lot of differ

TYPING
United Press International
Alan Wiggins of the San
Diego Padres has at least one
thing in common with Dave
Righetti of the New York Yan
kees this spring: both are exper
imenting with unusual switches
of position which their man
agers hope will benefit their
clubs.
Righetti is being asked by
Yankee manager Yogi Berra to
convert from a proven starter
just below the superstar class to
a relief pitching role to replace
Rich Gossage.
Wiggins is trying an even
more unusual move: from the
outfield to second base.
The Padres’ best defensive
outfielder last season, when he
also batted .276 but drove in
only 22 runs, Wiggins’ conver
sion to second base is being
tried with the hope of making
room in center field for power-
hitting Carmelo Martinez, who
hit six homers and drove in 16
runs in 29 games last season.
“It’s not as drastic a change as
one might think,” Wiggins said.
Elsewhere, reacting to recent
trade rumors, first baseman
Chris Chambliss said he wants
to finish his major league career
with the Atlanta Braves.
