at home and away.
But for the Hogs, it will be worth
it.
A schedule including Alabama,
LSU, Tennessee, and Auburn is a lot
more inviting to Arkansas than dates
with Baylor, Texas Tech, SMU and
TCU, annual stomping grounds for
the SWC elite.
The biggest advantage to leaving
for the Razorbacks will be for basket
ball.
Arkansas has been, for a long
time, a dominant basketball force in
the SWC.
Ever since Sidney Moncrief and
Alvin Robertson suited up for for
mer coach Eddie Sutton years ago,
the program has been solid.
The key to a consistently solid bas
ketball program is to have a revolv
ing door of athletes ready and able
to compete with anybody in the
country year-in and year-out.
That way, the loss of a Chris Jack-
son (LSU) or a Dennis Scott (Georgia
Tech) hurts only minimally.
The 20-win seasons pile up and
the recruits come in without any arm
twisting.
Arkansas coach Nolan Richard
son, thus, should get a recruiting
medal-of-honor alongside Arizona
State’s Bill Frieder, for having an
uncanny knack of landing great tal
ent and having a team that’s 12-men
deep.
He recruits not only good players,
but excellent athletes, those that can
run with anybody in the country
year-in and year-out.
Okay, let’s not mention UNLV, a
team that not only beat Arkansas this
year, but also plays so well together
that CBS’ Lesley Visser was
prompted to say the Rebels could
compete with an NBA team.
Un, I don’t think so, Lesley.
But anyway, after this season,
UNLV will be on probation, and los
ing key players as well.
The Hogs, however, will have tal
ent returning once again.
And that talent will be tested
quickly against the likes of LSU, Ala
bama, Auburn and resurgent Ken
tucky, a much better option than
what the SWC offers.
Coach Richardson’s comments af
ter the Hogs 111-72 destruction of
last-place Texas A&M on Saturday
showed the distance (physically and
mentally) between Arkansas and the
rest of the field.
“We knew Texas A&M does not
have the type of team that should be
able to stay on the floor with us if
we’re playing good,” he said. “It was
just a question of how many points
we were going to score.”
That comment might as well go
for any team in the SWC.
When the Hogs are hot they can
blow anybody away in the confer
ence.
And by staying in the league, that
fact would not change anytime soon.
Tom Penders and the Texas
Longhorns are trying, but they’re
not there yet by any means.
And so the Razorbacks are leaving
the conference, paying no attention
to those that say they are traitors or
bad guys as a result.
College sports are businesses.
And the Hogs have not only im
proved their schedule competitively
in both football and basketball, but
they have improved their position
tenfold monetarily.
But in our capitalist society, who
can blame ’em?

Tar Heels positioned for top seed
By The Associated Press
The Tar Heels might already
“ - Y,
be aiming at No. 2,000, but they
have to settle for No. 4 for now.
North Carolina (21-4) became
the first team to reach 1,500 bas
ketball victories last week with
wins over The Citadel and Gem-
son and, at the same time, moved
from No. 6 to No. 4 in The Asso
ciated Press poll.
The jump also makes the Tar
Heels a top candidate to be a top
seed in one of the four regions in
the NCAA tournament.
“The way it keeps going on and
on even amazes the players,” red-
shirt senior Pete Chilcutt said.
UNLV remained the unani
mous No. 1, with Ohio State and
Arkansas continuing to hold
down Nos. 2-3.
UNLV breezed to three victo
ries last week, extending its win
ning streak to 36 games, includ
ing 25 this season. The Rebels got
all 63 first-place votes.
Ohio State (24-1) had 1,503
points to 1,455 for Arkansas (27-
2).
Carolina’s 1,500 victories and
21st consecutive 20-win season
both are NCAA records. The Tar
Heels got to 1,500 one game
ahead of Kentucky. The Wildcats
(20-6) stumbled at Vanderbilt last
Wednesday, then beat Florida on
Saturday for victory No. 1,499
and 20-win season No. 36, one
more than North Carolina. The
Wildcats dropped a spot to 13th
this week.

Rangers, Astros open spring training
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. (AP) — The Texas Rang
ers and the Houston Astros opened spring training
camp on Monday.
In Port Charlotte, 24 Ranger pitchers reported to
manager Bobby Valentine but one of them was absent
— ace Nolan Ryan.
In keeping with his strict workouts regimen, Ryan,
44, who led the American League in strikeouts, won his
300th game and pitched his sixth no-hitter last year,
won’t arrive from Alvin, Texas, until March 1.
In Kissimmee, the Astros will start spring training
seeking a closer to replace departed Dave Smith, but
there’s no clear-cut favorite for the role.
Valentine has eight catchers on hand to tune the
pitching staff.
“We’ve got a strong competitive situation with our
pitching staff,” Valentine said. “We need to improve
our middle relief.”
Jose Guzman, who has labored under a two-year re
covery from rotator cuff surgery, will especially be un
der Valentine’s eye.
Also, Kevin Brown and Scott Chiamparino, who ex
perienced elbow problems last year, will be watched clo
sely.
Rich “Goose” Gossage and Charley Kerfield, two for
mer major leaguers who fell on hard times, will be at
tempting comebacks.
Brian Bohanon, who hurt his arm last year, won’t
throw for at least the first three weeks of spring train
ing.
Texas finished 83-79 for the second consecutivesei
son and in third place behind the Oakland Athletics.
The Rangers, who have never won a pennant, pla
their first spring game on March 8 when the Baltimort
Orioles come calling at Port Charlotte.
The Rangers open the regular season on April!
against Milwaukee.
“We’re optimistic we can turn things around tl
Valentine said. “We would have been there las
year,
year except for one bad month. You can’t afford aoo£
month in our division.”
The Rangers made no major trades in the off-seasor
They obtained catcher Mark Parent from San Diegofoi
infielder Scott Coolbaugh. Parent hit .222 last year hi
had a .992 field average, third-best among Nationi
League catchers.

“We have a nucleus which I believe can seriouslycon
tend in the division race,” Valentine said.
Astros’ Manager Art Howe won’t distinguish t*
tween long and snort relief early in spring drills.
“We’re going to rotate them, and whoever gets hoi2
going to have a chance to close,” Howe said. “Mayk
bullpen-by-committee will be better for us becaw
we’re going to have two or three guys, or even raon
who w ill get a chance to close some games.
The first four positions in the starting rotation willk
