In the same breath that he praised David Klingler’s seven- touchdown, 457- yard perfor mance in Satur day’s 62-28 vic tory over Arkansas, Jenkins care fully noted the defense’s part in beating the Razorbacks for the first time in eight years. “I’m so excited to see our de fense rally and contain Arkan sas,"Jenkins said. “We got the big interception and then they came back and took the lead. It shows the character of this team that we came back and dominated Arkan sas.” Klingler tied the school and SWC record of seven touchdown passes set last season by his prede cessor, Heisman Trophy winner Andre Ware. The Cougars had 613 total yards and extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 11 games. But it was the defense that shut down the Razorbacks when the fought back with 14 third-quarter points. “When they got the score to 45- , they thought they could score at will on us,” said cornerback Jerry Parks, whose 26-yard inter ception return on the third play of the game, provided Houston’s first score. “But we stopped them. Before, they were still confident but after that they just wanted to get the game over and get out of there.” It was a happy day for the Cou gar seniors, wno beat the Razor- backs (2-5) for the first time in their careers. “This was our last chance to beat them,” linebacker Reggie Burnette said. “No one in this locker room had ever beaten Ar kansas before. There could be nothing greater for the seniors on this club.” Tech trying to ready self for upcoming showdown with Longhorns in Lubbock 4 ESS .$80.3« $129$ MG ..$50$ $173.9« 5259.95 Reds’ championship ring not taken likely by Texas product PARIS, Texas (AP) —Just four years after pitching the Prairiland Patriots to a high school baseball championship in Texas, Scott Scudder, 22, has reached baseball’s pinnacle. As a member of the Cincinnati Reds, Scudder will re ceive what all baseball players at any level can only dream of: a World Championship ring. With all of this in a relatively short time, what else is left? More of the same, he hopes. “Winning never gets old. I love the feeling every year,” Scudder said. “Next year, if we don’t make the playoffs, and I’m sitting at home watching whoever, it’s going to get to me a bit.” Scudder is almost a bit embarrassed about being a world champion when so many superstars, like a Nolan Ryan or Ernie Banks, have never even been to a World Series. “It seems selfish and unfair that some of those guys haven’t made it or won’t make it,” said Scudder. “That’s what makes it unique.” Cincinnati pulled off what many feel is one of the most stunning sweeps in World Series history: wiping out the heavily favored Oakland Athletics. Oakland, with its collection of superstars, won a ma jor league high of 103 games. Cincinnati won 91 games and led the National League West from the first game of the season. But the Reds played below .500 ball from the All-Star Break until the end and had to work to advance past Pittsburgh in the National League Championship Se ries. By sweeping the A’s, the Reds became only the sec ond team to have lost at least 12 more games than a World Series rival and go on to sweep. The New York Giants did the honors in 1954 over the Cleveland Indi ans. “It’s a cliche, but we just peaked at the right time. They are a great team, but I think man for man we have them matched or are better. They had a lot of experi ence in the playoffs and we didn’t,” Scudder said. “But we were just better at that time of year,” he said. “They were talking about dynasties, and we were just talking about winning and making a good showing.” LUBBOCK (AP) — Texas Tech is llill trying to find its way out of the rcckave wrought by the Hurri- anes or Miami. The Red Raiders gave up 563 ards to Miami’s typhoon-like of- cnse and the Hurricanes’ swarming defense mugged Tech quarterbacks dr 10 sacks en route to a 45-10 hwout. “The thing we can’t do is give up he ship,” Tech coach Spike Dykes aid Monday. “Miami might have aade us tread a little water, but it’s till afloat.” And Dykes says if there’s one hingthat could bring Tech’s Titanic othe surface, it’s a victory this week iver the dreaded 14th-ranked Texas .onghorns. “This is a traditional rivalry for is,"Dykes said. “It’s a big game and lasbeen for a long time. A win over iexas would go a Tong way in sooth ing some of this season’s pain.” Tech (2-6 overall, 1-4 in the buthwest Conference) has beaten Texas (5-1,3-0) three of the last four dmes they met, including the last two. Last year, Texas Tech turned a third-and-26 late in the fourth quar ter into a 65-yard touchdown pass irom Jamie Gill to Anthony Many- eather to give Tech a 24-17 victory McWilliams getting nervous AUSTIN (AP) — Coach David McWilliams of No. I4-ranked Texas said Monday he’s nervous, but not scared, about playing this weekend at Texas Tech, the team that started the Longhorns’ downfall last year. Texas, which has not beaten Tech since 1987, was 4-2 last sea son when the Red Raiders scored on a 65-yard touchdown pass on third-and-26 to upset the Long horns, 24-17, at Austin. The Longhorns finished 5-6 for its second consecutive losing season, the first time that had happened in half a century. xis year, Texas is 3-0 in the Southwest Conference, 5-1 over all. Tech is 1-4 in the conference, 2-6 for the season. “As far being nervous, sure ev ery week you’re nervous, you’re always nervous about playing the game. But I’m not scared of get ting ready to play this game or any other we’ve got this year,” McWilliams told his weekly news conference. Tech has lost its last two games, to Rice and Miami. McWilliams said “the big thing” going against Tech has been injuries to starters such as receivers Blackshear. in Austin. The Longhorns, who were 4-2 heading into last year’s game, snapped after the defeat, losing four of their last five games. This year, the Longhorns have an inside track to the Cotton Bowl. “The road to the Cotton bowl goes through Lubbock and they have to win here if they want to get there,” Dykes said. “It’s a very important game for them.” Texas will be the fifth Top 25 team to tangle with the Red Raiders this year. “Our team believes they can win this game,” Dykes said. “They are not going around beating their chest, but there is a sense of oppor tunity there. I don’t think we are in the tank, just destitute and calling it quits.” PROMOTE JUDGE STEVE SMITH 3 STEVE TO COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 2 • Asst.

Dykes said Tech will have to play a perfect game to beat the Longhorns, who have beaten Arkansas, Rice and Southern Methodist in conference play. “When you lose a couple of games in a row, if you’re not careful you lose a little sparkle in your eyes and that’s the thing we can’t afford,” Dykes said. “If we don’t play well, we won’t have a chance. It will be just like last week because Texas has great players.” Dykes said Tech’s defense will have to slow down an array of run ning backs, including Phil Brown and freshman Butch Hadnot, who verbally committed to play for Tech last year, but then enrolled at Texas. The Longhorns’ defense, which ranks first in the SWC, giving up an average of 290 yards, is a grave con cern, Dykes said. “They have got mobility, agility and they have got hostility,” Dykes said. “They have got all the ‘ihties’ you can come up with and they do a darn good job of using them.” Dykes said his team escaped in jury against Miami and should be at 100 percent this week.
