Graf was skiihg with her father at St. Moritz on Wednesday when she fell and injured her right wrist, iccording to the Bild newspaper. She left the ski resort with a plas ter cast on her lower right arm, al though medical workers there said it /as precautionary and the extent of tier injury would not be known until he swelling diminished. The newspaper said the ligaments were torn and would need weeks to heal. Horst Schmitt, a spokesman for Graf, said details of her injuries would not be available until she had been examined by a specialist. The injury prompted her family to inform tennis officials in Boca Ra ton and Key Biscayne, Fla., that Graf would not be taking part in tourna ments in those cities in March. It was not immediately known if she would be able to make the Grand Slam events in Paris, beginning May 28, or Wimbledon, which starts on June 25. on, who ^U, con- provides 'hornton - thefol- Allen (Continued from page 7) Those people will be looking for Allen to pull more weight this year than last year. “I think I’ve improved as a pitcher from last year,” he said. “I’ve got a little more of an arsenal to throw at them this year.” Allen said he is itching to try out that arsenal. “I want to beat Texas,” he said. “That’s one goal that I’ve got since I didn’t do well against them last year.” Allen gave up five runs in a little more than three innings in A&M’s 18-14 win over Texas last year. He also will be waiting for Houston to arrive in College Station on April 27. “(Houston) roughed me up pretty good,” he said.“This year I’m going to try and make it a little different.” againsi rs. i rush its their of- turn the Lady Ags (Continued from page 8) Richardson blasts UT for complaining FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas Coach Nolan Rich ardson said Thursday that Uni versity of Texas officials are wast ing their time by continuing to complain about the Razorbacks’ overtime victory over the Long horns on Sunday. Texas has sent a letter to the Southwest Conference protesting the game because Richardson wasn’t given a technical foul for leaving the court with 14 seconds left in regulation time. Assistant Athletic Director Craig Helwig said the letter was sent Wednes day. “One or two days is fine, but now they’ve played a game and we’ve played a game and it’s on to the rest of the league race,” Rich ardson said at a news conference in response to a question. “When does the statute of limitations run out. They’ve kept this in the pa per for days.” Richardson walked off after Lee Mayberry was assessed an in tentional foul. Arkansas, which trailed 84-83 at the time, tied the game at 86 on Mayberry’s long jumper with four seconds left and won 103-96 in overtime, with Richardson back on the bench. Texas Coach Tom Penders complained after the game that Richardson should have been as sessed a technical foul, giving the Longhorns two free throws and possession of the ball. Texas wants to have the final 14 seconds replayed, or at least receive public acknowledgment from the SWC that the referees made a misinter pretation. Paul Galvan, the SWC supervi sor of officials, said the case is closed, and league Commissioner Fred Jacoby wouldn’t comment. “I’m not sure Tom even has anything to do with this,” Rich ardson said. “I’ve received a lot of fan mail from Austin. I must be very popular there. “If this creates more interest among league fans, fine. I’m, sure the next time we’re in Aus tin, they’ll have a bunch of Nolan lookalikes. The rivalry will be come more intense among fans ... hopefully, it will spread to some of the other teams and that makes for a better conference.” fter winning on our home floor and uffered a loss on their home court,” ickey said. “We’ve got to go in with our heads up and play with as much oncentration as we did against TCU n order to be successful.” A&M holds a 15-7 advantage over , j, |SMU in the series, having won the e 0 last three times they have met.
