SWC basketball coaches ready for early signing FORT WORTH (AP) — South west Conference basketball coaches will get a chance this week to mon itor how much recent speculation over the league’s health has affected re cruiting. In fact, un certainty about the league’s fu ture in the wake of Arkansas’ de fection to the Southeastern Conference was a re cruiting tool used by coaches in other conferences, some say. “Schools from outside Texas were hitting hard on the status of the league,” Texas coach Tom Penders said. When SWC coaches talked with basketball prospects during the con tact period in September, they were bombarded with questions about the league’s status. The coaches will find out Wednes day, when the one-week early sign ing period begins, whether they ill; were able to allay their prospects’ concerns. “Kids that were interested in the SWC or Texas had a lot of questions about the conference and the atten dance. It was very much a hot topic,” Penders told the Fort Worth Star- Telegram in Sunday’s editions. “They were asking what other teams are coming into the confer ence. Who do you think you’re going to get?” said Texas Christian coach Moe Iba. “They were curious, looking for information. It wasn’t negative. They weren’t asking which teams were leaving.” Baylor coach Gene Iba said none of the recruits he talked with catego rically turned down his school or the SWC, but there was an intangible feeling of doubt. “I think it has hurt us some,” he said. “I think the instability bothered some kids.” Texas A&M coach Kermit Davis Jr. said the uncertainty caused some players to strike the SWC from their list of prospects. “We were involved with two or three of the best players in the state. But people were speculating Pac-10, SEC. And we dropped off of some guys’ lists because of that,” Davis said. Texas and A&M calmed the situa tion somewhat when they an nounced in August that their schools were committed to the SWC. Among the top players in the state who have given non-binding, verbal commitments, there appears to be a strong desire to leave home. Dun canville center Greg Ostertag has said he will sign with Kansas; San Marcos center Nathion Gilmore plans to sign with Notre Dame; and Plano East guard Jimmy King said he will sign with Michigan. Arkansas, the cause of all the tur moil in the league, is hardly suffer ing from the turbulence. The Razor- backs will join the SEC in basketball in the 1991-92 season. The two-time defending SWC champions are reaping the benefits of a Final Four appearance and plenty of pre-season national recog nition. Of the top 50 seniors in the country, coach Nolan Richardson said Arkansas is on the list of 15. “We’re at the time where it’s selec tion time instead of recruiting time,” Richardson said. “All the big-time programs select, they don’t recruit.” Richardson expects a bright fu ture in the SWC. “Coming off of a Final Four, going into a new conference, it’s all been positive,” he said. “We’re gain ing much more than we’re losing, if we lose anything.” Happy birthday to you Hlasek defeats Chang for Wembley title WEMBLEY, England (AP) — Ja kob Hlasek served 13 aces and used his power to overcome the quickness of Michael Chang for a 7-6, 6-3 vic tory Sunday in the final of the Wembley indoor tennis tournament. Hlasek, who also claimed the Wembley title in 1988, celebrated his 26th birthday a day early by winning his first tour event of the year. The victory was worth $42,800. “I served very well on the big points. He really couldn’t jump on me because my first serve was so good,” Hlasek said. “I tried to go for it on my first serve, to go for a lot of quick points.” Defending champion Chang, one of the best service returners on the men’s tour, managed only one break and rarely threatened in Hlasek’s other service games. “It was a matter of getting a good start on his serve, but he came up with big serves at the right time,” said Chang, who won $25,200 dol lars. “The most difficult part about playing him today was just getting bis serve back.” Each player had one service break in the opening set, which Hlasek won 7-4 in a tie-breaker. Hlasek won the opening three games of the sec- AP Top 25 Here’s how the top 25 teams in The Associated Press' college football poll fared Sat urday: Rank, team, result: Next opponent: 1.

Hlasek kept Chang moving all over the court, and his power contin ually prevented the American from getting in position to hit solid shots. Chang’s resulting weak returns of ten led to winning volleys by Hlasek. The Swiss player said he helped form his strategy for the match while doing German commentary for a television station during Chang’s second-round defeat of Jeremy Bates. “That was the first time that I really saw 100 percent what to do. That was a really good hour for me to learn,” Hlasek said. “I was concen trating, trying to do a good job on the commentating.” Hlasek said he learned from that stint to stay on the baseline and wait for his chances, rather than rushing the net on every serve. “I learned to not come in too much, because he passes so well,” Hlasek said. “I knew I had to stay with him and come in on the best shot he gives you.” Jim Grabb and Patrick McEnroe won the doubles title, beating fellow Americans Rick Leach and Jim Pugh 7-6 (7-4), 4-6, 6-3.
