Peters, a high school phenome non from Brenham who set a na tional record with 53 consecutive vic tories, underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right elbpw Friday. Dr. Jim Andrews performed the operation in Birmingham, Ala., and removed one centimeter of bone from the tip of Peters’ elbow. The point of Peters’ elbow where his radius and ulna met had formed improperly, coming to a point in stead of a hinge. As a result, he couldn’t fully ex tend his arm, causing pain and a loss in velocity, said his mother, Ruth Peters. The freshman said he’s had the problem for some time. Peters First noticed the elbow pain in June while pitching in a high school all-star game in the Astro dome. He started the game for the South all-stars, but had to leave after only 1 and 1/3 innings. Thinking that his arm just needed rest, Peters didn’t throw in the Ag gies’ fall drills. After he threw in practice in January, Peters’ elbow was still tender, so he sought medical help and was referred to Andrews. In addition to the operation, other tests were run on Peters’ arm, but no ligament or cartilage damage was discoved, Peters said. Currently, Peters is undergoing therapy using stretching and light weights. Andrews told Peters he shouldn’t sweat this week, so he can’t continue his daily four-mile runs un til next week. But Peters isn’t depressed by the surgery or Johnson’s decision. He said that early in the year he had hoped to be a part of the Aggie pitching staff, but was now glad to be redshirted. “I think it could work out well,” Peters said Wednesday. “The (red- shirt year) will give me time to rest and get stronger. I want to be a starter next season. That’s what I’m shooting for.” Peters won’t be able to throw for four months, but expects to pitch by the end of August. Johnson said before the season tha,t he didn’t expect Peters to see much action this year. However, Johnson said that Pet ers is a hard worker and should con tribute next season. “The prognosis is good for a com plete recovery,” Johnson said. “He’ll be back at full strength next season, better than ever, with four years of eligibility left. He’s not in bad shape for a guy who came in here with a sore arm.” It won’t be easy for Peters to match his high school success. He re corded a 54-1 mark and led his teams to three consecutive 4A state championships. Peters broke the na tional record with his 52nd consec utive high school victory April 29, 1989 when he defeated A&M Con solidated. He racked up 22 shutouts and Five no-hitters for Brenham. He also had 612 strikouts in only 370 innings. Peters has had a history of arm problems. In the summer of 1987, Peters was pitching at the Junior Olympic Festival when he suffered a shoulder injury. He rehabilitated quickly, missing only a few games at the beginning of his junior year. That injury was unrelated to Peter’s recent elbow trouble. Sooners keep No. 1 in Big Eight Former Brenham star Jon Peters has been redshirted in his season at Texas A&M after undergoing elbow surgery last week. The am w eir 1 lost th< ■cheat lield in hedul NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma, it seems, is try ing to make sure the nation’s No. 1 team remains in the Big Eight Conference. Last week, Missouri of the Big Eight held the top spot. But Oklahoma beat the Tigers on Sunday, knock ing them to No. 3 and allowing conference rival Kansas to become No. 1 for the third time this season. That victory also bumped the Sooners from 10th into a tie for fifth, giving the Big Eight three of the nation’s top five teams. On Tuesday, Oklahoma pounded the nation’s new No. 1 team, 100-78, ending its home schedule at 16-0 and increasing its winning streak at Lloyd Noble Arena to 45 games. A victory Saturday at Oklahoma State could propel the Sooners to the top of the poll heading into next week’s conference tournament. The ramiFications of a big showing in this big stretch were clear to the Sooners. “We were really Fired up playing the number ones because we were number five, and we could get to be one of the top four teams and than a number-one seed,” William Davis, who scored 22 points against Kan sas, said. “There’s no mystique with playing No. 1 when it's Missouri or Kansas because we play ’em all the time,” he said. “That’s the most important thing. The rivalry and the inter-conference thing hits you more than No. 1, but this made it special. I’d have to say that." In the Kansas game, the Sooners went to the press from the outset —something they haven’t done of late — and Kansas wound up committing a season-high 26 turnovers. Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs said his team’s strong performances were due more to the fact they were im portant conference games. During one stretch in the first half, w hen Oklahoma widened its lead from 18-13 to 25-15, Kansas turned the ball over on 10 of 12 possessions. The Sooners even tually opened a 41-17 lead before tiring in the final five minutes of the half. “We couldn’t get shots we needed and they forced us into turnovers,” Kansas guard Kevin Pritchard said. “When you do that, your offense comes off your de fense, and that’s a big part of their game.” Kansas coach Roy Williams saw' it this way: “I think they just got after us a little harder than we were ready to be gotten after,” he said. “They just got after our tails and we didn’t do a good job of taking care of the basketball.” Oklahoma is 22-4 overall and 10-3 in the Big Eight, while Kansas is 27-3 and 10-3.

Former University of Houston football coach Jack Pardee said it best: “This was so helpful to several of my players, ! am now making the whole football team take the course.” Pardee read about a memory seminar held by noted memory expert Alvin Jackson and sent three players who needed to pass some important tests in or der to stay in school. Pardee sent athletic department aca demic advisor Dr. James Berlow as an observer. In one three-hour session Mr. Jackson took three college freshmen, whose college en trance exam grades were so poor they are not allowed to practice football, and trans formed them into students who can perform studying and recall tasks as well as the brightest students on campus. Since Dr. Berlow took part in the class, he admits his recall and memory increased sixfold. He wishes Jackson’s course was available when he studied for his doctorate. This reporter attended the seminar and personally wit nessed the athletes use mem ory techniques to master French, Portuguese, anatomy names and faces. What impressed this writer the most is how memory tech niques are used in reading and listening. “Contrary to popular belief people are not born with good memories, it can be taught, I taught it to those wanting to usei aset) all it to increase their G.P.A. ::i le rus those with perfect G.P.A.s whoi^ 1 ' wish to cut down on study time| ee ‘| 11 while maintaining high grades, Jackson said. “Our present educational sys tern gives high grades tothose who can memorize.
