FREMANTLE, Australia (AP) —
The America’s Cup is America’s
again, and Dennis Conner now can
be remembered as the first man to
regain the Cup instead of the first to
lose it.
“It’s a great moment for America,
a great moment for the Stars 8c
Stripes team,” Conner said after
f uiding the 12-meter yacht Stars &
tripes past Kookaburra III
Wednesday and completing a 4-0
sweep for sailing’s most prized tro-
phy.
“And a great moment for Dennis
Conner.”
His blue-hulled boat with the red
and white lettering won the final
race easily, by one minute, 59 sec
onds. The gunshot signifying that
Stars 8c Stripes had crossed the fin
ish line, its huge American flag wav
ing, was the signal for the victory cel
ebration.
A mass of jubiliant spectators
lined the shore, shouting and smil
ing as the returning conquerers
weaved through a flotilla of boats
that flooded the harbor. More than
three years ago, Conner made a sim
ilar but very different trip.
It was an early evening on Sept.
26, 1983 when he stood aboard Lib
erty in the darkness of the Newport,
R.I., waterfront as his beaten boat
came back from the course, the
American flag flying at half-staff
from his mast.
Australia II had just ended sport’s
longest winning streak — the 132-
year American monopoly on the
symbol of sailing supremacy. Con
ner became the first U.S. skipper to
lose the Cup, and it filled him with
determination to make the trophy’s
stay Down Under a short one.
He undertook a $20 million, 2‘A
year campaign to bring the Cup
back, this time sailing for the San
Diego Yacht Club rather than the
New York Yacht Club, which had
held the Cup for those 132 years.
among 13 challenging boats from six
nations. He and Stars & Stripes beat
New Zealand 4-1 in the January
semifinal, which the Kiwi boat en
tered with a 37-1 record.
Kookaburra III, meanwhile, elim
inated Australia IV, the Alan Bond
boat that defeated Conner in New
port.
At 44 and in his fourth Cup Final,
Conner had an edge in experience
over Kookaburra III skipper Iain
Murray, in his first Final at age 28.
Now, after 1,227 days as an Aus
tralian possession, the Cup is going
back to the United States.
Murray, who would like to be de
sign coordinator in his syndicate’s
next challenge, hopes to return the
favor.

Three new boats were built. Plan
ning and practice consumed thou
sands of hours. Conner survived
more than three months of trials
“What goes up,” he said, “must
come down.”
Conner, winning Cup skipper on
Freedom in 1980, knows the feeling.
“I have a great feeling of empathy
for the job he’s in and the way he’s
feeling right now,” Conner said.
At a news conference the day he
lost the Cup, Conner fought unsuc
cessfully to hold back tears. At
Wednesday’s news conference, he
smiled frequently.
“It’ll probably all sink in tomor
row or the next day or the week af
ter,” he said. “Right now we’re savor-
ing it.”
It was the 18th American sweep in
the 26 Cup competitions, and the
first since Ted Turner won with
Courageous in 1977.
Stars & Stripes won in light, mod
erate and heavy winds during the fi
nal series. It won 14 of the 16 up
wind legs; it won Five of the eight
downwind legs in which Kookaburra
III was thought to be strong; it led
after every leg of the eight-leg, 24.1-
mile races on the Indian Ocean.
Stars 8c Stripes won the first three
races by 1:41, 1:10 and 1:46. Its
clinching victory, in moderate to
heavy southwest winds of 16 to 20
knots, had the biggest margin.
Aggies travel to SMU
o begin 2nd season
By Doug Hall
Sports Writer
With a 4-4 Southwest Confer
ence mid-season record, it’s do-
or-die time for the Texas A&M
basketball team.
The Aggies, who begin their
second round of SWC play to
night when they travel to SMU
for a showdown against the 2-7
Mustangs, are trying to end a
three-game losing streak that be
gan 16 days ago with a devastat
ing loss to Rice .
Texas A&M Head Coach
Shelby Metcalf said he hasn’t
changed his team’s strategy in or
der to break the losing streak,
which includes the Aggies’ 87-69
loss to Arkansas and the 71-70
loss to Baylor on Jan 28., but that
his staff has tried to keep this
week’s practices upbeat.
But even with a positive atti
tude and an eight-day layoff,
Metcalf said SMU, which is fresh
off a 75-73 upset over Baylor, is
not a team to take lightly.
“They will deFinitely be men
tally ready to play,” Metcalf said.
“We’re going to have to go up
there and play hard.”
In the first meeting of the two
teams this season, the Aggies es
caped with a narrow 2-point vic
tory, 61-59, when Winston Crite
grabbed a John Trezvant air-ball
and drilled the winner home at
the buzzer.
Combine that fact with the Ag
gies’ less-than-spectacular 1-5
road record, and Moody Col
iseum suddenly becomes a formi
dable place to play, despite the
Mustangs’ 10-10 season record.
“SMU is a very tough team,”
said Metcalf, who is currently in
his 24th season with the Aggies.
“Personnel-wise, they are proba
bly right up there with TCU. I
think Arkansas has the most tal
ent in the league, but it’s really
only their first year to play to
gether as a team.”
After SMU defeated second-
place Baylor last Saturday in
Waco, Bears Coach Gene Iba
said, “SMU played like everyone
in our league knew they would
sooner or later.”
The Mustangs, who have the
highest winning percentage in
the SWC over the last three years,
are led by sophomore guard Kato
Armstrong, who hit 26 points
against Baylor including a game-
clinching four-point play, and 6-9
center Terry Williams who was 5-
7 from the floor on Saturday.
“They have a bunch of Fine
shooters,” Metcalf said. “But if I
had to pick one player to key on it
would be Terry Williams. Arm
strong and (junior forward Carl
ton) McKinney are great shoot
ers, though. You can’t slough-off
on Williams because they will
hurt you from outside.”
When asked if is players might
be looking forward to Sunday’s
home-court showdown with
TCU, Metcalf replied, “Oh no,
we just want to go up there and
have some success on the road.
We just barely beat them here at
the buzzer. I don’t think that will
happen at all.”
The winner of tonight’s 7:30
game will also move into the lead
of 68-year rivalry between the
two schools. After playing each
other 114 times, the series record
is even at 57 wins apiece.

Baylor upsets TCU 66-63
to end Frog winning streak
> a y]
chael Williams scored four late bas
kets including a slam dunk with a
second to play Wednesday night to
carry the Bears to a 66-63 Southwest
Conference basketball upset of 15th-
ranked Texas Christian, snapping
the Horned Frogs 14-game winning
streak.
TCU suffered its first SWC loss in
10 games and dropped to 19-4 over
all. The Bears improved to 7-3 and
12-8.
Williams didn’t score a point in
the second half until he hit three
straight baskets to give the Bears a
61-58 lead with 1:03 to play.
Mark Buchanan’s two free throws
with 32 seconds left gave the Bears a
64 -58 lead.
TCU’s Jamie Dixon, who had
seven three-point field goals, hit a
three-pointer and two free throws to
bring the Horned Frogs to within a
point.
Robert McLemore then stole a
s pa
to Williams for the slam dunk which
gave the Bears revenge for an earlier
71-56 loss in Fort Worth.
Williams Finished with 15 points
for Baylor while Dixon had a game-
high 23 points for the Horned
Frogs.
Buchanan had 12 points while
Larry Richards added 16 for TCU.
The Horned Frogs, who played
without flu-stricken starting center
Tony Papa, struggled against Bay
lor’s changing and confusing de
fenses in the First half.
TCU led 31-29 at intermission
when team leading scorer Carven
Holcombe made a basket and a free
throw in the Final minute. Holcombe
had to constantly Fight through the
Bears’ double-teaming defense but
had 10 points in the first 20 minutes.
Holcombe, who was averaging 17
points in SWC play, had 15 points
for TCU.
