Houston’s ‘Dream’:
Lakers’ nightmare
HOUSTON (AP) — When the
game is on the line, Houston Rockets
coach Don Chaney’s plan is a simple
one — rely on Akeem Olajuwon.
“The guy always comes through.
That’s why he’s the star of this team.
He gets us the wins,” Chaney said af
ter Olajuwon scored five key points
late in the fourth period and made a
crucial block to spark the Rockets to
a 110-104 victory Tuesday night that
snapped the Los Angeles Lakers’
nine-game winning streak.
“We had a great run, but you can
never be satisfied in this league,” Los
Angeles Coach Pat Riley said. “As
soon as you get satisfied you get your
tails kicked. And we were satisfied
tonight.
“The only thing I’m upset about is
our state of mind. We were not re
ady for this game.”
After the Lakers cut the lead to
93-90 with 4:30 left, Olajuwon con
tributed five points during the next
three minutes to boost Houston to a
100-96 with 1:13 left.
On the Lakers’ next possession,
Olajuwon, who finished with 17
points and 12 rebounds, made a
spectacular block of a layup by
James Worthy.
“He always seems to get the big re
bound, the big free throw or the big
block,” Chaney said of Olajuwon.
“He gets us the win.”
The Lakers’ Magic Johnson
agreed.
“Akeem is an all-star and proved
it again. Akeem made the oiggest
play of the game on that block. That
could have changed the outcome of
the game.”
Riley was critical of his team’s
play.
“We were sloppy. They were in a
position to dominate. We were lucky
we didn’t get blown out at the half.
We had 17 turnovers and we’re just
15 down,” he said.
Four free throws by John Lucas
also helped Houston Rockets stave
off the Lakers’ late bid.
The Lakers, who trailed by as
many as 18 points in the third quar
ter, pulled within three with 31 sec
onds left before Lucas, who scored
12 points, made it 106-99.
Otis Thorpe lead Houston with 21
points followed by Buck Johnson
with 20 and Mitchell Wiggins with
19.
Magic Johnson lead Los Angeles
with 24 points, 14 in the fourth quar
ter, and James Worthy and A.C.
Green had 16 apiece. Johnson also
had 13 rebounds and nine assists.
Neither team lead by more than
two points until Houston scored 10
straight to take a 24-14 advantage.
The Rockets lead 38-26 after one
quarter.
Leading 43-34, the Rockets went
on a 10-2 spurt to move ahead 53-36
with 4:19 left in the second quarter.
Houston lead 63-48 at the half.
Falcons’ Campbell retires
SUWANEE, Ga. (AP) — Marion
Campbell ended a 28-year NFL
coaching career Tuesday by retiring
as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons,
mired in last place in the NFC West.
Assistant Jim Hanifan was named
coach for the remaining four games.
“I have chosen this avenue to clear
the picture for the ownership to get
on with the future of their fran
chise,” Campbell said in a statement
released about an hour before Hani
fan was named interim coach.
“Jim was kind of the obvious one,”
Vice President Taylor Smith said of
the selection of Hanifan, who won’t
be considered for the permanent
job.
“We’ll be going outside the orga
nization for a coach,” Smith said at a
news conference.
Blackmon, Ware named
S WC Players of Week
AUSTIN (AP) — Seeing Bay
lor safety Robert Blackmon in the
Texas game and later on film was
more than enough for Texas
football coach David McWilliams,
whose squad lost to Baylor 50-7.
“I hate to go back over it. I can
see them right now,” McWilliams
said when asked to comment on
the performances of Blackmon
and Baylor linebacker James
Francis.
Blackmon was selected over
Francis by T he Associated Press
as the outstanding defensive
player of the week in the South
west Conference after he inter
cepted three Texas passes, in
cluding two for touchdowns of 20
and 35 yards.
“I wanted the third, but I’ll
take what I can get,” said Black
mon, a Van Vleck senior. He car
ried his third interception 26
yards to the Texas 5-yard iine.
setting up a touchdown as Baylor
won Saturday at Austin for the
first time since 1951.
“On film, we just weren’t im
pressed with their offense,” said
Blackmon, who finished his foot
ball career at Baylor with 14 in
terceptions, eight this season.
“Their backs didnVlook like they
wanted to block anybody; their
receivers weren’t blocking any
body down field. A good, aggres
sive defense is not going to play
that way.”
“We’re just very aggressive,
and we have a fast defense. That’s
what wins games,” Blackmon
said.
McWilliams said of Blackmon,
“He’s a great defensive back.”
On the 35-yard interception
run, McWilliams said, Blackmon
made an outstanding play. ”He
went up real high, caught the ball
and kept his balance.”
Also, McWilliams said, the 195-
pounder “really comes up and
tackles well.”
For the third time this season,
Houston quarterback Andre
Ware was chosen as the outstand
ing offensive player of the week
after completing 37 of 63 passes
for 475 yards and four touch
downs and running 11 yards fora
fifth score in Houston’s 40-24 vic
tory over Texas Tech on Satur
day.
*‘The pass was working,” said
Ware, a top contender for the
Heisman Trophy, an award sym
bolic of the best player in college
football.
“Andre’s clearly the top per
former, maybe of all time in the
history of college football, not just
this year,” Houston offensive
coordinator John Jenkins said of
the Dickinson junior.

derdogs when they took on rival Ok
lahoma. Behind freshman quar
terback Peter Gardere, the Long
horns marched down the field with
time ticking off the clock and pulled
off a last-minute upset over the
Sooners.
Texas hasn’t been alone in sur
prising people.
SMU wasn’t picked to win any of
its games all year. Still, the Mustangs
surprised critics when they beat
Connecticut with a dramatic last-sec
ond touchdown pass.
SMU didn’t stop there.
A few weeks later, the Mustangs
dominated NCAA Division I-AA op
ponent North Texas, beating the Ea
gles 35-9.
Houston, although on probation,
has been running and shooting all
over the NCAA record book. The
Cougars have averaged 633 yards of
total offense per game, scoring a to
tal of 525 points this year.
That’s an average of 53 points per
game.
So does all this mean that the
Southwest Conference is about to
become a national powerhovise con
ference and have its first national
champion in almost 20 years?
Probably not.
It’s not that the teams in the SWC
are weak. Just the opposite.
The SWC houses one of the na
tion’s most prolific passing attacks.
Houston has set offensive records all
year long.
The SWC has some top rated de
fenses as well.
Baylor’s James Francis, a Butkus
Award finalist, spearheads the
Bear’s defense. Francis could be the
country’s best linebacker when all is
said and done.
Texas A&M Coach R.C. Slocum
and his famed “Wrecking Crews”
have shut down some of the nation’s
highest scoring offenses (namely
Houston’s Run-and-Shoot). Fans
came to expect goal-line stands and
hard hits.
So, with all this talent, why can’t
the SWC yield a national champion?
Unlike weak conferences like the
Big Eight in which either Nebraska
or Oklahoma beat up on every other
wimpy team in their conference, the
SWC champion must survive inter
conference battles.
This year, AP has ranked five
SWC teams in its top 25 polls. And
what ends up knocking SWC teams
out of their coveted poll positions
have been other SWC teams.
So, until every team in the SWC
but one ends up as desimated as
SMU coming off their death penalty,
SWC teams will continue to beat up
on each other and spoil any chance
for a national champion. >
And with the way things look in
the conference this year, with Tech,
Arkansas and Texas A&M all going
to bowls, that could be a loooong
time.
