NEUSS, West Germany (AP) —
iteffi Graf, the world’s top-ranked
ennis player, tore ligaments in her
)laying arm during a skiing accident
n Switzerland and may not be able
o play again until at least April, a
lewspaper reported today.
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.

(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.”

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.
Last year, the Lady Aggies
: struggled to an 88-87 overtime vic
tory over the Mustangs in Dallas.
A&M then posted a commanding
13-66 win a month later in College
Station.
The Lady Aggies hit a season-
high 58 percent from the field last
month, as they more then doubled
SMU’s score, 93-45, in G. Rollie
