Not much of a revelation you might say, at least under ordinary circumstances. But no one told me about bowl ing. It all seemed innocent enough to me. Find a couple of hours, get a joint (aren’t all bowling alleys joints?) that sells beer, find a friend who is lousier than I am and toss the ball down that alley. Wrongo. I should have seen the warning signs immediately alter walking into one of those new compute rized bowling supermarkets. My opponent was none other than Assistant Sports Editor Travis Tingle. I was primed for a good time. We got ourselves on the lane list (only a 20 minute wait — I think the guy was lying) and proceeded to get liquid refreshments. Wandering around the place, my mouth full of popcorn (com pliments of the bar), I realized how little there is to do in a bowl ing alley unless you’re actually bowling. We stayed amused by playing videogames. Finally, we received our very own lane, No. 17. T ravis set up the electronic score board — he’s pretty good at those things. I was up first. First is the ritual of picking the right ball and acting like it really makes a difference. The bsll I al ways use is the little 13 pounder, but the stupid holes are too small for my fingers to fit in. I grab my choice and heave the thing down the alley. No prob lem. Now Travis is a purist. He lines up just like the pros do, sights down the ball and has a nice ED CASSAVOY Sports Editor smooth follow through — poetry in motion. But conflict is never far from competitive sports. Even bowling. Problem one: One of the em ployees comes over and politely asks us to remove our beers from the control console. He didn’t want us to short curcuit every thing. Talk about unreasonable. There was no way we would ever spill anything. The man insisted. Moving the pitcher of beer to a safer place, Travis dumped half of the pitcher on the floor. Problem two: The gang of four playing their hearts out in the ad jacent lane appeared irritated by us. I decide it is because we spilled the beer. Travis says it’s because we weren’t wearing socks with our funky blue and red bowling shoes. So I chuck another ball down the lane. Gutter ball. As I turn to sit down, Joe Bowler beside me snaps that I was being very rude. I give him a blank look. I didn’t know what he is talking about. Travis informs me that it is tra ditional courtesy to let the bowler next to you to go before you. News to me. I was too busy concentrating on my lane to worry about what other people were doing. Through that ordeal, I discov ered that justice exists every where — even in the bowling world. But that jerk next to us had a worse score than me. Maybe he needs to learn how to bowl. Robinsondoubffu[ for Longhorns Hogs gearing for Middies United Press International FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Senior quarterback Brad Taylor returned to drills in a noncontact capacity Wednesday, allowing Arkansas coaches looking to Saturday’s na tionally televised game with Navy to breath a little easier. Head coach Ken Hatfield said he expected Taylor to be at full steam for Thursday’s workout. Taylor, rated sixth in the nation in passing efficiency, suffered a bruised left leg and a hyperextended knee in an 18-9 victory over Tulsa last Saturday and missed two days of practice. “We really didn’t think Brad would be back today, so it was a plus just having him out there,” Hatfield said. “He should be able to go with no problem tomorrow. “Overall, we had an excellent practice today. Both the offense and defense showed a lot of enthusiasm. I think some of that may have been due to the coolness in the air,” he said. “The defense has been really in tense and is picking up the T forma tion well. Navy always gave us prob lems at Air Force. They will be tough and ready to play.” Nevertheless, the sports informa tion office said later that Taylor was withheld from contact work Wednesday, but quoted Hatfield as saying he was expected to be at full steam by Thursday. If Taylor is sidelined for the game,, Hatfield said, senior Danny Nutt, who mopped up in the Tulsa game, would start, with freshman Greg Thomas also seeing action. Hatfield, in his first season at Ar kansas after moving over from Air Force, is 1-0-1 after the victory over Tulsa and a 14-14 tie with Ole Miss. The ESPN cable television net work this week said Saturday night’s game between Navy and Arkansas will be replayed four times following the live telecast. ESPN will carry the game with ste reo sound beginning at 6:30 p.m. CST from War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. Jim Thacker and Paul Maguire will be the commentators for Satur day’s game. Texas AUSTIN, Texas — Texas tailback Ronnie Robinson remained side lined with a sprained toe during Wednesday Wednesday as the No. 2 Longhorns continued preparations for their game with No. 6 Penn State. Texas plays Penn State Saturday in East Rutherford, N.J. Robinson, who injured the toe in Texas’ season opening victory over Auburn two weeks ago, is scheduled to travel with the team to New Jersey and Texas Coach Fred Akers said he hoped his tailback would be ready by game time. If Robinson is unable to play, Ak ers said, seniors Rob Moerschell and Terry Orr and freshman Kevin Nel son would be the likely replace ments. Fullback Jerome Johnson, who broke a bone in his left wrist in the Auburn game, missed Wednesday’s practice but is listed as a definite starter for Saturday. Akers said Johnson, who led all Longhorn ball carrier with 56 yards and two touch downs against Auburn, will wear a fiberglass cast in the game. Akers said Penn State will have at least one advantage in the game Sat urday. “This will be their fourth game and our second,” the coach said. “A year ago that wouldn’t have con cerned me as much because we were a very experienced team. But we’re so young this year. The open week enabled us to so a lot of things and we got a lot of people healthy.” Angels still alive in AL West race United Press International AL Roundup Brian Downing and Doug De- Cinces slapped run-scoring singles in the sixth inning Wednesday night to help the California Angels stave off elimination in the American League West with a 2-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
