(AP) —Decibel levels don’t normally come up when two football coaches are talk ing about an upcoming game. But, then again, Houston is not the norm. The Cougars often go without a huddle and throw about 65 passes a game. And, the noise bothered the Cougars some in their only loss of the year — 17-13 to Texas A&M. Early in the week, Arkansas Coach Ken Hatfield cited the Ag gies’ crowd. “One big factor in the game is the home crowd cheering the whole game,” he said. “The players are going to do all they can. I want to encourage all the fans to be prepared to do their part to help us whip Hous ton. Don’t stand and watch. Get ready to help every way you can.” Houston Coach Jack Pardee was asked if he thought Hatfield’s plea was one of desperation. “I consider that part of the home field advantage,” Pardee said Wednesday during a telephone news con ference. “It’s really good for a college crowd, it affected us at College Station, no doubt about it. We can proba bly operate our offense in a loud stadium as well as any one. Having a big crowd, a vocal crowd, shoot, our guys all think they’re hollering for them. “It’s an advantage for them, sure. It was at College Station. If the officials don’t step in and make them use timeouts, that type of thing, there’s nothing we can do about it. “You can get so overwhelmed worrying about noise, that it takes away from your game. We’re not going to let that happen.” Asked if noise is the only defense for Houston’s and-Shoot, Pardee said, “No, that’s not quite theonli defense for it. Good players are a little better defens than noise.” He pointed out that the crowd didn’t bother his team much when it beat Arizona State, 36-7, on the road be fore about 70,000. “At A&M you couldn’t get louder than it was at A&M, you couldn’t hear any thing,” he said. “That’s a little factor, but that wasn'n major factor in the game. It still came down to a play or two.” Hatfield disagreed. “I think A&M’s crowd had a lot to do with the ball game,” Hatfield said. “No doubt noise is a factor when they are goingwiti no huddle most of the time, trying to call their offensive plays, trying to call their routes and things they wantto do. Certainly a crowd can make that a lot mored for them. They’re trying to do something non-tradi tional and that’s not go back to the huddle so you’ve to negate that some way or another. The way you an do it is with a lot of noise.” On Saturday night in Little Rock, the Arkansas sec ondary must deal with Andre Ware who has com 187 of 308 for 27 touchdowns. Last week, Texasquai terback Peter Gardere completed 16 of 20 for 247yards in a 24-20 victory over Arkansas. “I think the more people looked at film, the more they found that we had some inexperience and tried to take advantage of it,” Hatfield said. “I think that when you look back at it, a lot of our younger players—each game kept getting bigger and bigger .” Illness postpones Tyson’s fight ZZZZ2 EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — The Nov. 18 world heavyweight boxing championship fight in Ed monton between champion Mike Tyson and Donovan “Razor” Rud dock has been postponed until at least early next year because Tyson has a condition similar to pneumo nia, promoter Garry Stevenson said Wednesday night. Stevenson told a news conference it will be “impossible for him to fight and for us to hold the fight card.” He said Tyson will return to Las Vegas for a recovery period ex pected to last at least four weeks. Stevenson, who with the backing of Edmonton businessman Ed Bean secured the fight for an estimated $3.5 million, said the bout would be rescheduled at the earliest possible opportunity. He said it would likely be held in January, but that de pended on Tyson’s recovery. Dr. Gerhardt Sollbach, the physi cian for the Edmonton Boxing and Wrestling Commission, confirmed the diagnosis, adding the ailment is similar to pleurisy — an inflamma tion of the lining that envelops the lungs — and causes Tyson to experi ence chest pains. He said doctors be lieve it is caused by a virus. Elias Ghanam, Tyson’s personal physician, was called up from Las Vegas to attend the champion, was not at the news conference, i nam said it is speculative to discussi recovery period, but four to weeks is a good estimate. Don King, Tyson’s promoter, aid Tyson held a sparring session Thursday that was open to the me dia and another workout on Frith that was closed. “He looked lethargic, he look himself,” King said. “In Satur day’s workout he was getting and he was not improving.” King said that’s when he called Tyson’s doctor.

Major credit cards accepted. Texas game. He accounted for three touchdowns and 392 of Rice’s 418 total yards. He passed for 366 yards and rushed for 26 more in scoring two touchdowns. However, he doesn’t dwell on that performance. “It’s not a game that I like to think about because we just didn’t have enough to win it,” he said. “We got the ball back at the end of the game, and had a chance to win it, but I threw an interception. It’s kind of bittersweet.” Hollas has led the Owls in both passing and rushing this year, pass ing for 1,467 yards and rushing for 354. He said the rushing yards mainly have come on controlled scrambles. “We spread people out so much,” Hollas said. “If I see people drop ping back in coverage, (Rice Coach Fred) Goldsmith has given me the option to pull it down and get the yardage. “That’s where the yards come from. It’s not that our line is break ing down and I have to scramble.” Hollas should have no trouble feeling close to his teammates. In fact, some of his teammates are fam- iiy- His brother Will is a fifth-year se nior linebacker, and his cousin Shane is a freshman defensive back. Will is coming off a knee injury suffered in the last year’s Texas game, and hasn’t seen action this year. Shane has played in six games, recording 16 tackles and an inter ception. Donald said that having Shane on the team doesn’t change anything. “It’s not any different. We’ve al ways been real close on the Hollas si de,” he said. “He’s just another player out there in practice and games, and then off the field, he’s a relative.” Hollas also has family ties to Rice’s past. His uncles, Hugo and Richard, were All-SWC in 1965-67 and 1971- 73, respectively. However, he said he didn’t come to Rice for family rea sons. “It wasn’t so much the family ties as that Rice threw the ball,” he said. “When Coach Berndt came in, we changed the offense and went to a running offense. “I got lost in the shuffle. Coach Goldsmith came and put in this new offense, and I got a second chance. It’s sad to see a coach leave, but no body’s happier than I am.” Hollas credited the new staff with keeping morale high. “Even though we’ve been losing close, nobody’s given up this year,” he said. “You can see it in practice, that everybody’s excited. “The staff has done a good job of keeping us up. It’s been a lot better atmosphere to play in. Hollas was also recruited by A&M, Houston, Texas Tech, Alabama, Mississippi State and Texas Chris tian. Hollas said that he’s tired of hear ing people make excuses for Rice’s losses. “People always say that you’re going to Rice and you aren’t win ning, but you’re getting a good edu cation,” Hollas said. “I don’t see why you can’t get a good education and play good football, too.” “I think the new staff will em phasize that and go after the type of player that will get it done in the classroom, but will care just as much on the football field,” he said. “I’m not saying we have guys here now just for the education, but I think in the past, the education has been emphasized. I think Coach Goldsmith will go after the players who will want to turn this program around, as well as get a quality edu cation.” Turning Rice’s program around is something Hollas is trying to do in 1989, but the Aggies won’t make that any easier for him Saturday in Rice Stadium.

After the Giants steamrolled Dal las, linebacker Lawrence Taylor said plays the Cowboys were running were so simple he thought it was trick until the second half. Now, I think Lawrence graduated Summa Cum Laude from Alabama, so the keen insight he had by f/iesec ond half may not be shared by But most defensive coordinators might be a little quicker on the up take. • Acquisition of most draft picks in a single season — This may also be an NFL record if they maintain pace for the whole season, i you’ve got to ask this: If you’re crummy now with a team that is mostly free agents and rookies, what good are draft picks? I don’t think a trade will help. If Darrin Nelson is any indication once the trade is done, all you’re going to end up with is more draft picks. • Most damaging injuries to a team that in no way can afford them —Million Dollar Aikman — gone Humble Michael Irvin — gone. And: Danny “Horse Medicine Noonan, Old Man Rafferty , Ken “Not My Father’s Oldsmobile” Nor ton. All starters, all in and out (mostly out) this year. These are just things they could be leading now. If the losing tide isn’t reversed they could not only lead the league sort of, but set a new NFL record Yes, shudder, most losses. Maybe not though, you gotta have faith: “Let’s see Jerry, If we cut five guys and bring in a whole mess of free agents next week ...” SKI VIDEOS GREAT THINK SNOW! at SNEAKERS TONIGHT GIVE AWAYS SPECIALS Get information on the Largest Collegiate Ski Break in Texas...and definitely the most FUN! • V It will be A PARTY!
