1 guess I should have known
that nothing in life is that simple.
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.”

lard drove in the game’s only run
with a fourth-inning sacrifice fly,

John Montefusco, 5-3, and Dave
Righetti to lift the Yankees.

Murphy’s three-run homer capped a
seven-run second inning and Mike
Davis had three hits atid drove in
