Baylor will face Colorado on New Year’s Eve in Houston’s Bluebonnet Bowl, and Texas Tech will travel to Shreveport, La., on Dec. 20 to square off against Mississippi in the Inde pendence Bowl. But Arkansas and Tech could wind up in either the Cotton Bowl or Miami, depending on the outcomes of two games scheduled for Thanks giving Day. If Texas A&M beats Texas and if Miami beats East Caro lina Thursday, the bowl picture in volving SWC teams will look like this: • Texas A&M, will win the SWC conference championship and play Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Day. Ohio State accepted a bid Saturday after losing to Michi gan, 26-24. • Arkansas will play Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. Arkansas blanked Southern Methodist Saturday, 44-0, and Oklahoma beat Nebraska, 20- 17. But Texas A&M could end up in the Orange Bowl if the Razorbacks get to go to Dallas instead. “We played today for that ring (SWC title),” Texas A&M Coach Jackie Sherrill said after his team’s victory Saturday. “That’s something nobody can take away from them. Next week, we’ll play for the right to go to the Cotton Bowl.” If Texas beats Texas A&M on Thursday, the SWC would have three co-champions — Arkansas, Texas and Baylor. A&M and Baylor have been to the Cotton Bowl since Arkansas, who last played in the bowl in 1976. In that scenario, Texas A&M would either go to the Orange Bowl or to the Fiesta Bowl, depending upon what happens in the Miami- East Carolina fallout. Orange Bowl officials weren’t speculating on what might happen. “We’re just going to sit back and see how things come out,” selection committee chairman Pete Williams said. “Who’s to say we would have a better game with Penn State? One of the best Orange Bowls I’ve ever seen was the Oklahoma-Arkansas game,” he said. “Arkansas wasn’t very highly rated in that one and pulled off the upset.” Williams was one of the game offi cials in 1978 as sixth-ranked Arkan sas beat No. 2 Oklahoma 3 1 -6. The Orange Bowl officially will make its invitation to the Oklahoma opponent Thanksgiving night. At the same time, Miami will make its announcement after the East Caro lina game, which ironically is to be played in the Orange Bowl. Oklahoma beat Penn State 25-10 last year in the Orange Bowl to win the national championship. Should Miami lose, the Orange Bowl could be a rematch between Oklahoma and Miami. Miami won the first meeting, also played in the Orange Bowl. By Doug Hall Sports Writer In the game of football, an old ad age is: “The best offense is a good defense.” In baseball, it’s: “Good pitching will beat good hitting almost every time.” In basketball, as the Lady Aggies found out Friday night in beating the Yugoslavian Red Star Club team 77-68: speed, quickness and good shooting will beat height almost ev ery time. The Lady Aggies, in winning their first ever preseason exhibition match, made an impressive showing to open A&M Head Coach Lynn Hickey’s third season, shooting 52.3 percent from the field and 56.2 per cent from the line. Leading the way for the Aggies was sophomore guard Donna Roper, 12 of 16 from the floor for 24 points, and junior forward Eve lyn Sanders, 8 of 13 for 19 points. Beth Young, with a strong second- half showing, also pitched in 16 points. The Red Star Club, which has seven players over six feet tall, suf fered only its third defeat in the nine games. It had defeated Southwest Texas State 80-72 Thursday. Luckily for the Aggies, Hickey was able to scout the Southwest Texas game and saw that not only did the Red Star Club have height, but it also had guards who could hit from outside the three-point line, which is used in international con tests. Hickey decided not to use the three-point shot for the Aggies’ game. Chalk one up for Hickey, because guard Mira Jovanovic kept the Yu goslavians in the game in the second half with 16 points, many of which had the distance of interballistic mis siles. Sanders hit the first points of the game with only 22 seconds gone in the first half, and the Aggies never looked back. At halftime, the Aggies had a 39-33 lead, thanks to the strong shooting of Sanders and eight Yugoslavian turnovers. For obvious reasons, Hickey was pleased with her team’s perfor mance, but expressed concern with the Lady Aggies strength at the cen ter position. “We played really well tonight,” she said. “A team like (the Red Star Club) is difficult to play. The only thing I’m concerned about is our center situation. When L.J. (starting center Lisa Jordan, who fouled out with five minutes left in the game) gets in foul trouble, we don’t have anyone who can come in there and take charge.” After six weeks of practice, Hickey said she was pleased with the Aggies’ progress. “We’re a lot further along this year than we were last,” she said. “Last year at this time, we didn’t know half of the things we do now. I think we’re more relaxed and more confident.” 8-man Sixer squad slides past Rockets PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Roy Hinson scored 24 points and Julius Erving added 23 as the under manned Philadelphia 76ers, using only eight players, defeated the Houston Rockets 114-104 in an NBA game Sunday night. 95-85 advantage with 8:15 left. Five straight points by Erving pushed the Philadelphia lead to 102- 92 with 5:12 to go. Charles Barkley, playing for the first time since a spleen injury side lined him Nov. 4, played the second period and most of the fourth, con tributing 12 points. Tim McCormick, who suffered a knee injury late in the game, added 17 points for Philadelphia. Akeem Olajuwon scored a game-high 27 points for Houston, while Jim Peter sen had 19. Philadelphia led by as many as 16 points late in the second period, but Houston rallied to within three on a jump shot by Dave Feitl with 10:55 remaining. The 76ers then scored seven straight points, capped by a Barkley dunk, giving Philadelphia a The Sixers played without center Jeff Ruland, who underwent knee surgery last week; Danny Vranes, who suffered a broken nose last week; guard Andrew Toney, who has an ankle Sprain; and rookie guard Jim Les, who has knee prob lems.
