sank shot with eight seconds re
maining lifted the Arkansas Lady
Lrzorbacks to a 91-90 victory over
he Texas A&M Lady Aggies Tues
day night in Southwest Conference
women’s basketball action Tuesday
light in Fayetteville.
Martin’s winning shot nullified a
omeback by the Lady Aggies, who
railed the Razorbacks for most of
he game.
A&M, which trailed by 1 1 points
arly on, climbed back from a six-
joint halftime deficit to take the lead
with 4:27 remaining on a 10-foot
ump shot by guard Traci Thomas at
86-84.
The Lady Aggies made the lead
land until Martin hit the winner
aear the end.
A&M guard Donna Roper, who
ed A&M with 23 points, missed a
shot at the buzzer as A&M’s seven-
game winning streak came to an
;nd.
It was a tremendous comeback,
autwejust waited too long,” A&M
Head Coa'ch Lynn Hickey said.
‘Games like this are a matter of
inches and we made too many mis
takes.”
The Lady Aggies remained win
less at Barnhill Arena with tonight’s
loss.
Arkansas was led by guard Juliette
jackson’s career-high 26 points.
Forward Shelly Wallace, the
SWC’s second-leading scorer (25.2

A&M fell to 12-3 overall and 4-1
in the SWC as the Lady Aggies fell
out of a first-place tie with Texas, a
big winner over Texas Tech Tues
day night.
“We got off to a slow start and the
free throw situation put us at a tre
mendous disadvantage,” Hickey
said. “I’m disappointed with the loss,
but Arkansas played well and they’re
a fine team.”
Arkansas roared to early leads of
13-2 and 15-4 as Jackson had nine
points during the opening run by
the Lady Hogs.
A&M was hindered by a slow start
offensively from Roper, who scored
her first basket with 5:23 remaining
in the first half.
Roper was instrumental in the sec
ond-half comeback.
“Donna Roper had a tremendous
second half,” Hickey said. “But
really got aff to a slow start and that
hurt us.”
A&M cut the lead to four points
on three different occasions in the
first half and trailed 49-43 at inter
mission.
Free throws were a major factor in
the game.
Arkansas enjoyed an advantage in
both attempts and points at the char
ity stripe.
In the opening half, the Lady
Hogs hit eight of 14 free throws
while the Lady Aggies hit two of a
measly four attempts.
From the field the home-standing
Lady Hogs hit 62 percent in the first
half and connected on 52.3 percent
for the game.
A&M connected on only 42.3 per
cent from the field and were hurt by
a 25-14 disadvantage at the free-
throw line for the game.
Lisa Jordon led A&M on the glass
with 13 rebounds and chipped in
with 10 points.
Thomas had 15 points, Lisa
Herner had 12 and Mindy Neal
added 10.
Herner had a season-high 10 as
sists.
Robyn Irwin (15 points), Delmo-
nica DeHorney (13) and Martin (13)
rounded out the scoring for Arkan
sas.
A&M’s Herner tied the game for
the first time with 4:36 to go in the
game with a pair of free throws at
84.
A&M took the lead at the 4:27
mark on a 10-foot shot before De-
Horneyhit a layup with 4:07 to go to
draw Arkansas seven again.
Thomas responded with a jumper
to push A&M in front again at 88-86
with slightly under four minutes re
maining.
With 2:41 to go, A&M’s Louise
Madison gave the Lady Aggies a 90-
88 led on a layup.
A&M would not score for the re
mainder of the game.
Traci Thomas went to the line
with 23 seconds remaining with a
chance to sew up the game for A&M,
which led 90-89.
Thomas, shooting the first of a
one-and-one situation, missed the

Tech, 95-49
AUSTIN (AP) — Freshman Vicki
Hall led four Longhorns scoring in
double figures Tuesday as Texas
handed Texas Tech its worst South
west Conference defeat ever, 95-49.
Clarissa Davis, the nation’s third-
leading scorer, hit all of her 13
points in the first seven minutes to
pace Texas to a 34-6 lead with 10:15
left in the first half. Davis played less
than a minute in the second half.
Texas, ranked No. 11, improved
its record to 9-4 and 5-0 in the SWC.
Texas Tech dropped to 7-8 and 1-3.
Hall led all scorers with 15 points,
followed by Davis. Susan Anderson
and Lyssa McBride followed with 12
each.
Jennifer Buck was high scorer for
Texas Tech with 14 points.
free throw and Arkansas rebounded
and moved downcourt.
Martin connected on her shot
with eight seconds remaining and
sent the Lady Aggies home with a
loss and in to second place.
Hickey praised Arkansas while
trying to take a philosophical out
look on the Lady Aggies’ situation.
Hickey said, “(Arkansas) shot ex
tremely well, particularly in the first
half. We did a good job on Wallace,
but this is a tough place to play.”
Think Rice is bad?
Columbia coach
faces tough task
NEW YORK (AP) — Ray Tell-
ier was named football coach at
Columbia Tuesday, taking over a
program that has the worst re
cord in the country over the last
25 years.
“It’s the ' biggest challenge in
college football today,” was his
explanation for seeking the job as
Columbia’s fourth coach in the
last six years.
Tellier was coach at Rochester
for the last five years. For six
years before that, he was the of
fensive coordinator at Brown
University.
Tellier was asked why would a
coach with a seemingly successful
career take a job that has ended
the coaching careers of four pre
decessors.
“First, I like the challenge that
Columbia presents,” Tellier said.
“Second, I see a different situa
tion than when I was at Brown.
There’s better football players
now than there’s been.
“ I think the situation has
changed.”
Columbia was 2-8 last season,
its best record since 1978.
The Lions only winning season
since 1962 was in 1971, when
Tellier was the quarterback at
Connecticut.
Tellier also said he expects
support from the Ivv League
school.
“I see a commitment from the
faculty, and I see a commitment
from the adminstration. I also see
a committment from the alumni,"
he said .
Larry McElrea\ y quit following
last season after one of his assis
tant coaches, Doug Jackson, was
accused McElreavv of drunken
ness and professional miscon
duct. Some of the football players
said they had lost confidence in
him.
McElreavv denied any improp
rieties.
Columbia athletic director A1
Paul said Tellier's turnaround of
the Rochester program was the
main plus in his mind.
The Yellowjackets were 21-26-
1 in his five seasons, but were 9-2
in 1987 and 8-2 in 1988.
Tellier also said he has made
no decision about retaining Jac k-
son, who had been interviewed
for the head coaching job.
“Not knowing all the details, I
just can’t say,” Tellier said.
But a few minutes later he said
that he though lovaltv is impor
tant.
Columbia sources, who asked
not to be identified, said Jackson's
contract would not be renewed
after it expires on J tine 30.
Super Bowl hype, hoopla has gotten way out of control
For the first time, the alleged knowledge
of Las Vegas odds-makers is being chal
lenged by a sex therapist. Yes, don’t place
that Super Bowl bet yet.
Because, despite the fact that the gam
bling mavens of the Nevada desert are mak
ing San Francisco a seven-point favorite for
professional football’s world championship,
Dr. Ruth Westheimer is going with the
Bengals.
Why? Because the Cincinnati players are
being allowed to stay with their wives this
week in Miami.
“I think in many cases couples being
apart will create more tension than good,”
states the matriarch of male-female rela
tions. “Because wives won’t ask their hus-

bands ’Where were you last night?”
What has the prC-Super bowl hype come
to? Why are reporters soliciting the predic
tions of a woman whose concept of a “two-
minute drill” is quite different than Bill
Walsh and Sam Wyche’s.
It all comes down to this. The hoopla and
hysterics during the week that precede the
Super Bowl are downright silly.
And it’s not like any of this is really new.
In past Super Bowls we have been
treated to Roger Staubach’s biorythyms,
Terry Bradshaw’s biorythyms and the Cap
tain and Tenille entertaining us from Bour
bon Street.
But now it’s getting worse. Dr. Ruth?
Spare me.
I’m also eagerly awaiting the investiga
tion that will be inspired by Jerry Rice’s in
jured ankle. Its scope and artificial magni
tude will undoubtedly rival the Iran-Contra
affair.
I can see it now. There will be X-rays and
video tape and doctor’s opinions about
Rice’s injured joint. Hopefully the “crisis”
will be handled a little more tastefully than
the all too up close and personal informa
tion given about President Reagan’s polyps.
Yuck.
But the focus of the stellar receiver’s an
kle will extend beyond just himself.
There will be interviews with Joe Mon
tana to see he how he feels about his favor
ite target being hampered.
Then there will probably be another in
terview with Dr. Joyce Brothers to analyze
Montana’s feelings. Maybe Dr. Joyce and
Dr. Ruth will get a few minutes of commen
tary together in the pre-game show.
But the foolishness isn’t restricted to just
the media.
Have you got your tickets for Bu^l Bowl I
yet? What exactly is this anyway? Sounds as
if it’s going to be a chugg-off between Norm
and Cliff as Sam serves ’em up during com
mercials.
I don’t want to sound overly reverent,
but this is THE world championship of pro
fessional football.
So let’s focus more on possible strategies,
tactics and the season up to this point.
But I still want to find out who Leo Bus-
caglia has his money on Sunday.
