(AP) — University of Arkansas Athletic Di rector Frank Broyles says he hasn’t taken steps to switch the Razorbacks’ affiliation from the Southwest Con ference to the Big Eight. But Broyles, who has expressed concerns about NCAA penalties dished out to other SWC schools, said Saturday that if he does start working for such a change, he won’t make any announcement about it. “If such a thing should happen, it would come as a blockbuster, over night,” Broyles said in an interview with the Arkansas Gazette. The newspaper reported that Ar kansas and Rice could soon be the only SWC schools which are not un der some sanction from the NCAA, and that the probations could mean a decrease in bowl revenue and that almost no SWC football games could be televised. Broyles said the Big Eight would First have to issue an invitation to Ar kansas. But Big Eight Commissioner Carl James said Friday that the con ference is on record as saying it wants no new members. That vote came after inquiries by Northern Illi nois and North Texas about joining, James said. The Big Eight is comprised of Ne braska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Colorado, Kansas, Kansas State. Mis souri and Iowa State. Ken Hatfield, the UA football coach, said the decision to switch be longs to Broyles, but added, “We are some of the credibility left in the SWC. “We have enjoyed playing in the SWC. all these years. I’ve always got ten along well with the coaches around the table. If it ever got to the point where you would not be able to trust other people, well if trust has been breached, you d take a differ ent approach,” Hatfield said. “But it’s not my say.” Southern Methodist University’s 1987 football program was abolished by the NCAA Feb. 25. The NCAA notified University of Texas of ficials two weeks ago of 62 violations found in its football pro gram from 1980 to 1986. Scott to take mound against LA in season opener for both clubs HOUSTON (AP) — Cy Young Award winner Mike Scott will start for Houston tonight as the Astros begin defense of their National League Western Division title against Los Angeles in the Astro dome. Scott, 18-10 last season with a league-leading 2.22 earned run av erage and 306 strikeouts, will face tin Dodgers’ Orel Hershiser, 14-14 and 3.85 ERA last season Scott, a master of the split-finger fastball, beat the Dodgers in two of three decisions last season. Hershiser also has been successful against the Astros. He has compiled a 7-1 career record and 2-0 record last season against Houston. I lershiser got the opening-day as signment over Fernando Valen zuela, 21-11 last season with 20 com plete games. Valenzuela will face Houston’s Bob Knepper Tuesday night. The Dodgers are coming off of an injury-plagued season that included the losses of left fielder Pedro Guer rero for most of the season and Mike Marshall. Guerrero and Marshall combined for 61 home runs in 1985 but the output chopped to 21 last season. Los Angeles Manager Pommy La- sorda used 123 different starting lineups trying to cover the injuries.

Baseball’s Opening Day to start in Toronto From the Associated Press Toronto’s Jimmy Key' is sched uled to throw the first pitch of the 1987 baseball season Monday, the first time Opening Day has started outside the United States. Tim Raines, Bob Horner, Rich Gedman and Ron Guidry, all of them unsigned free agents, are among the missing as the season begins. There still was a question of whether major-league umpires would work or go on strike as contract talks continued Sunday. Rain and temperature in the mid-40s are forecast at Exhibition Stadium, where the Blue Jays en tertain the Cleveland Indians and Tom Candiotti at 11:35 p.m. CDT. A crowd of more than 30,000 is expected to watch the two American League East chal lengers. About 90 minutes later, the traditional National League opener at Cincinnati will feature the Montreal Expos and Floyd Youmans against the Reds and Tom Browning. upset about Toronto’s opener to write a letter of complaint to Commissioner Peter Ueberroth and Secretary of State George Schultz.

In the NL, San Diego, with Eric Show, will play at San Francisco, with Mike Krukow, and Los An geles, with Orel Hershiser, will face Houston and Mike Scott.

At Detroit, Morris will pitch against the Yankees, one of the teams that spurned him in his off season free-agent search. Morris, 21-8 last year and the winningest pitcher in majors during the 1980s, became a free agent after the 1986 season and wanted to join either the Yankees, Minne sota, Philadelphia or California, but he was turned down by each team. Morris wound up going to sal ary arbitration and winning a contract for $ 1.85 million. Rasmussen, 18-6, will start for New York in place of Rick Rho den, acquired from Pittsburgh during the winter.

(AP) — Mar velous Marvin Flagler and Sugar Ray Leonard will fight Monday night in a match many people wish had happened several years ago and one some feel should not be held at all. For several years it looked as if it would not happen, but it wouldn’t go away. “If I had never fought Marvin, it’d still be on my mind when I’m 60 years old,” Leonard said. “I have to think he feels the same way . . . for money, ego and pride, and it’s Sugar Ray Leonard.” “He wants the Leonard fight more than any other fight,” said Pat Petronelli, Hagler’s co-manager. “This was the fight that got away.” Leonard’s eyes have been a source of controversy ever since he an nounced last May that he would come out of retirement if Hagler would fight him. Some boxing people worry that if Leonard gets hurt, it will increase the pressure to ban boxing, which al ready is under fire from such groups as the American Medical Associa tion. “The sport is going to survive no matter what happens,” Leonard said. He also has said, “I’m upset that anyone would think I would take an unreasonable risk of injury.” Leonard, who retired in 1982, was given a retinal examination by three eye specialists before the fight was announced in August. He also passed a retinal exam ordered by the Nevada State Athletic Commission Tuesday night. “If I had never fought Marvin, it’d still be on my mind when I’m 60 years old. I have to think he feels the same way . . . for money, ego and pride, and it’s Sugar Ray Leon ard. ” — Sugar Ray Leonard “I’m not really thinking about his eyes,” said Hagler, who was a 2V2-1 favorite to win the scheduled 12- round bout at a sold-out 15,366-seat outdoor arena at Caesars Palace. “He’s the one that made the choice. . . . My job is to defend the world middleweight championship.” But should Leonard spring an up set in the fight, which will start about 10:15 CDT, he would be recognized as champion only by the World Box ing Council. The International Boxing Feder ation recognizes Hagler as cham pion, but is not sanctioning the bout as a title match. If Leonard wins, the I BE will declare the title vacant. “This fight is not for money,” Hagler said. “This fight is to see who is the best in the world.” Money might not be at the heart of the two fighters’ desire to meet, but the money is there in abun dance. Hagler is guaranteed $12 million and also has a percentage deal. Leonard is guaranteed $11 mil lion. As to who is best, many boxing ob servers feel that both have been bet ter. There is an adage in boxing that you have to fight to be fighting fit. How much has inactivity eroded the dazzling skills of Leonard, who will be 31 on May 17? It will be only his second fight since he knocked out Bruce Finch in a welterweight ti tle defense Feb. 15, 1982 at Reno, Nev. Some boxing people feel that Hagler, 32, showed signs of slipping when he scored an llth-round knockout over John “The Beast” Mugabi, last March. They also note he has had only one fight in each of the past two years. Hagler has had 66 pro fights (62- 2-2, with 52 knockouts) dating back to 1973. Monday night’s match will be his 13th title defense. Astros drop exhibition finale 12-7 Oil vie for ■, ORLANDO, Fla.
