On Saturday night, both Wacker and w the Arkansas Ra- zorbacks found out. TCU whipped the Hogs 54-26 for its first 2-0 SWC start since 1958. Ar kansas is 2-2 for the first time since 1973. It was the second highest point to tal by an SWC team against Arkan sas. “They were incredible again,” Wacker said. “I wondered what would happen if we ever played a complete game and I found out.” TCU, 4-1, had rallied for fourth quarter victories in consecutive weeks over Missouri, Oklahoma State, and Southern Methodist. Leon Clay passed for 322 yards and four touchdowns in the Frogs rout of the Hogs. “You never know what to expect from us,” Clay said. “We got the whole package together against Ar kansas.” •In other games Saturday, Hous ton remained unbeaten by downing Baylor 31-15, Texas beat Rice for the 25th consecutive year, 26-10, and North Texas beat Southern Methodist 14-7. •The Houston Cougars may not be able to play in the Cotton Bowl, but it’s obvious they will determine who does. David Klingler threw two touch down passes as the 13th ranked Cou gars defeated the Bears to go to 4-0 overall and 3-0 in the conference. Two of Klingler’s passes went to Patrick Cooper for touchdowns as the nation’s second leading offensive team piled up 467 yards against a prevent Baylor defense. Baylor coach Grant Teaff said Houston is still potent but not as strong as last year. “Houston isn’t as a good on de fense as it was a year ago,” Teaff said. “But Klingler has a big strong arm. He can throw the ball farther downfield than Andre Ware. He’s every good at making third down plays.” Klingler said Baylor’s prevent de fense forced him to go to short passes. “It was a test of my patience out there,” Klingler said. ‘‘They wouldn’t let us go deep so we just took what they gave us.” Klingler said he was tired after throwing so many passes. “I throw 300 tails a day and this was a good warmup for me,” he said. “Still I was dragging there late. I was hoping I’d get hooked.” Klingler, the nation’s total offense leader, hit 35 of his 68 passes for 405 yards. The 35 completions were the most ever against a Baylor team. NEW YORK (AP) — Cincinnati coach Sam Wyche says he’ll pay a re cord $30,000 fine imposed by NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, but it won’t change his mind about having women reporters in the Bengals’ dressing room. “No amount of fine will force me to change my conviction on this mat ter,” Wyche said after Tagliabue as sessed nim one-seventeenth of his $500,000 annual salary for barring Denise Tom of USA Today from the locker room following Monday night’s 31-16 loss at Seattle. “We need to find a way for women to have a decent and open access to all these athletes,” said Wyche, who escorted Bengal quar terback Boomer Esiason out of the locker room for an interview with Tom following the game. Wyche proposed allowing report ers into the locker room for 20 min utes while the players remain in uni form, then clearing the room until they showered and dressed. That idea was rejected by Tagliabue, who said all locker rooms would be open for all accedited media throughout the postgame period. “The commissioner feels like it’s more important to fine me than to seek another solution,” Wyche said. “I’ll end up, I guess, paying the fine.” He has no recourse. Under NFL rules, there is no appeal process for discipline imposed by the commis sioner. Mike Brown, assistant general manager of the Bengals, defended Wyche. “I don’t know if there’s anything much wrong with Sam saying his piece, and now he’s said it and we’ll put it behind us,” Brown said. “We’ll abide by the rule. 0 locker room will be open to male female.” Brown said the team will take the matter again with the NFL aftel the season is over. “It will be dis cussed f urther.” “On Sunday, It’s going to from start to finish just like the missioner said. Blit the issue closed. “There is a significant portion of the players who are bothered bythis Their rights, their privacy is ii vaded. We’ve got to listen to tli; point. That’s something that shoul not be ignored.” The fine was the highest ever in posed against an NFL coach. Seve ral, including John Mackovic ol Kansas City in 1986, John McKayof Tampa Bay in 1985 and Bud Gram of Minnesota in 1983, were $5,000 for public criticism of offi cials and on-field conduct. Earlier this year, Tagliabue levied the largest fine in NFL history $500,000, against Ed DeBartolo, owner of the Super Bowl champion San Francisco-^49ers. Looking for a brighter future Mavs’ Tarpley sets sights on new attitude for entire season DALLAS (AP) — Roy Tarpley has only one goal for the upcoming Dallas Mavericks season — playing the whole season. Tarpley reported to training camp with gains in more than one area. Team officials nope Tarpley’s 15-pound weight gain will be worked off quickly, but that his new, responsible attitude will stick. “It’s been a long time since I’ve finished a whole season,” Tarpley said. “I just want to do that. That’s my only goal. “Winning the rebounding championship is in my sights, too,” he said. “But being here the whole sea son is the biggest thing for me. I have a lot to prove. I want to be here the whole time for my teammates and for the fans.” Tarpley said he blames himself for the Mavs’ fail ure to reach their goals last season, citing the team’s record when he doesn’t play. He missed 100 regular- season games the last two years, most because of sus pensions resulting from his drug after-care pro gram. ‘It’s all been my fault,” he said. “Every time I play, e play well.” The statistic statistics show that when Tarpley is out, the team falters. The Mavs are 41-23 with Tarpley the last two sea sons and 44-56 without him. Tarpley shied away from acknowledging that he determines the Mavericks’ fortunes on the court, but he does say the team will be “scary” if he plays all sea- son. ■ Everybody else connected with the Mavericks said Tarpley is the key to their success. General Manager Norm Sonju said he believes the best player should get the most money and Tarpley 5 $9 million five-year contract extension makes him the highest-paid player in team history.

Capturing his sixth sixth tour tro phy and second of the year, O’Meara slipped m without a playoff when Cary Hal berg three-putted the par- 3 18th, a hole O’Meara had bogeyed half an hour earlier.
