medley relay reminded Nash of former Aggie All-
American Chris O’Neill.
“On the medley relay, he went against Craig Jackson,
one of the best, and left him behind,” Nash said. “His
split was within seven-tenths of a second of Chris O’N
eill’s pool record. He’s becoming comparable to
O’Neill.”
Varozza teamed with Ernie Vela, Don Boyd and Ed
Altman for the victory in a time of three minutes, 25.81
seconds.
Nash was pleased with the swimming of Vela. He led
off the 400-meter medley relay win and won the 200-
meter backstroke and was third in the 200-meter indi
vidual medley behind SMU’s Greg Sargent and A&M’s
Todd Bartee.
Staruch added a second-place finish in the 200-meter
backstroke to his part in the victory of the A&M 400-
meter freestyle relay team. He joined Matt Cerizo, Scott
Shippey and Altman in the relay effort which ended in
a time of 3:12.15.
Nash was especially with the times swimmers on both
teams are posting.
“The big thing is our times are so far ahead of last
year,” Nash said. “We’re recording times in November
that we’re usually having in February.”
The A&M women’s team, led by junior Susan Hab
ermas, benefitted from good performances from seve
ral sophomores and juniors.
“Susan Habermas wasjust incredible,” Nash said. “I

Cotton Bowl-bound Arkansas has clinched its first outright ti
tle since 1965 is: Can the Razorbacks go unbeaten?
Ifcaylor Coach Grant Teaff, whose Bears were flattened by
Arkansas 33-3 on Saturday, believes they can.
gri think Arkansas has a legitimate chance to go unbeaten.”
Teaff said. ‘‘They do the things that allow you to be success
ful There’s no doubt in my mind they are the best team we’ve
played this season. They deserve the SWC title.”
llArkansas hosts defending SWC champion Texas A&M on
Saturday. The Aggies also are unbeaten in SWC play but can’t
claim the title or go to the Cotton Bowl because of NCAA
probation.
The Hogs (9-0) also have a Nov. 26 non-conference game
against Miami, which humiliated them 51-7 a year ago.
||“This is definitely the best team Ken (Hatfield) has had,”
Teaff said. ‘‘They are mistake-proof. They lead the nation in
turnover ratio and you can see why.
■“Arkansas also has a very sound, fundamental defense that
can play very physical. They also have more depth than
the y’ve had. When they get beat up they have some other
folks who can step in. ”
Hpn other games on Saturday, Houston kept its bowl hopes
alive with a 66-15 slaughter of the Texas Longhorns, Notre
Dame whipped Rice 54-11, Texas A&M downed Louisiana
Tech 56-17, and Texas Tech gave Texas Christian its first
home loss of the year 23-10.
Hatfield said, ‘‘We’re one step closer to where we want to
be. We play Texas A&M, the preseason favorite this week.
We look forward to playing our best. ’|
Hatfield said the team’s defeat of Baylor in Waco was im
portant because the Razorbacks had lost three of the last four
times they played there.
“The history we have had with Baylor got our team’s atten
tion this week,” Hatfield said. “We were ready to play. ”
The last seven Bay lor-Arkansas games had gone to the
fourth period before they were settled.
Arkansas quarterback Quinn Grovey scored on a 7-yard run
and Barry Foster scored on runs of 8 and 18 yards.
Kendall Trainer’s field goals of 50 and 20 yards gave him a
SWC record of 17 in a row.
This is the fourth time Arkansas has been 9-0 (1964, 1965,
1969).
In games this week besides A&M-Arkansas (Fayetteville) 1
p.m, Texas is at Texas Christian, noon, Texas Tech hosts La
mar at 2 p.m, and unbeaten Wyoming is at Houston in what
should be a wild offensive show.
Houston gave Texas its worst home loss ever as Andre
Ware threw five touchdown passes and Chuck Weatherspoon
ran for 218 yards.
“Not in my wildest dreams would I have believed that I’d
throw five touchdown passes and beat Texas like this,” Ware
said. “We knew we could beat them. We wanted them to
know we are capable of destroying any defense. ’ ’
The Aloha Bowl in Honolulu has shown interest in the Cou
gars (6-2), but Houston must beat Wyoming.

Four times this season, the Browns
defense has held the oppositon without a
touchdown.
The Browns stopped four Cincinnati
drives inside its 14-yard line and sacked
quarterback Boomer Esaison four times.
Oilers quarterback Warren Moon
knows the feeling. He’s 0-7 against the
Browns since joining the Oilers in 1984.
The Browns rank second in the NFL
in total defense and they are first in the
league in pass defense.
The Browns are led by comerbacks

Linebacker Clay Matthews leads the
team with five sacks, and free agent sig-
nee Charles Buchanan has 4‘/a sacks in
three games.
“I know the cornerbacks are very
good and I like their free safety, and ev
erybody knows who Bernie Kosar is,”
Oilers Coach Jerry Glanville said.
“But I think the key to the whole
thing is Clay Matthews. When the cor-
nerback does get beat. Clay doesn’t give
the quarterback any time.
“When somebody is about to make a
big run, he makes a big play.”
Matthews is third on the team with 51
total tackles.
The Browns have had good success
against the Oilers in recent years, win
ning the last seven non-strike games.
Moon has completed five of 23 passes
in each of his past two games against the
Browns and thrown seven interceptions.
But the Oiler defense has played well
against the Browns and Kosar.
“The difference is they’ve won the
games,” Glanville said.
The Browns beat the Oilers 40-7 in the
Astrodome last year.
Glanville hopes the difference this
year will be the Oilers’ improve special
teams.
