defeated in the district
playoffs.
other athletes were also
named among the honorable
mention.

The second team all district
included Weldon, 6-0
sophomore Ricky Love of
Goolagong Cawley in the*
quarterfinals of a |150,000
women's professional tennis
tournament.
Wade trounced Kim Sands 6-
3, 6-2, and Cawley had little
trouble in beating Terry
Holladay 6-1,6-2, Wednesday.
Holladay admitted she was
awed by the stellar shot-
making of the second-seeded
Cawley and appeared nervous
and was burned repeatedly
going to the net.
Holladay said, “She took me
out of what I wanted to do. I
wasn’t playing the ball but
rather was admiring her.”
Cawley said she played well,
but was not aggressive
enough.
“I should have been more
aggressive. I felt I played a lot
better than in my first match
against Rosie Casales,” the
Australian said.
Asked if she might have
been looking ahead to a
possible title match with
defending champion Martina
Navratilova, Cawley said, “I
don’t think that far ahead. I
like to feel tense about each
match, but I always seem to
play well here.”
Wade, seeded-fifth, went to
5-2 in the first set, then lost a
third point after going deuce
three times. But she quickly
!• utilized her bristling serve to
take the set.
She quickly took a 5-1 lead in
the second set After Sands
steadied to take a point with a
fine baseline return, Wade
closed out the match with a
sharp placement, although
her younger opponent went to
deuce with a nice volley.
“My game was adequate
but no more,” said Wade, a
Londoner who now lives in
New York. It was her sixth
time in seven Dallas ap-
and Peart Bailey, an Everman
junior. Wynell averaged 10.3
points a game from her point
guard spot making 80 steals
and 62 assists.
The honorable mention
team for the girls north zone
included the three other
Honey Bee starters, junior
Tracy Lowry, junior Regina
Hatley, and senior Leslie
Gandy. Others were
Brownwood senior Nancy Gill,
Granbury senior Sharon Ford,
Crowley junior Sgerri
Taggart, Crowley senior Kim «
Guidry, Cleburne senior Linda
Chandler, Cleburne junior
Tanya Roulla, and Brown-
wood sophomore Brenda Lee.
' The Yellow Jacket failed to
place a starter on the first
pearances that she has made
the quarterfinals.
Wade meets Greer Stevens,
the 23-year-old South African
who upset third-seeded Billie
Jean King in Tuesday's round,
Friday. Wade said she “could
be playing quite well if my
concentration holds up."
In other second-round
singles matches Wednesday,
Dianne Fromholtz defeated
Sandy Collins 6-4, 64; and
Bettina Buunge defeated Sue
Barker 6-2, 6-3.

allow Ballesteros more play
LAUDERHILL, Fla. (AP)
— A new rule being put into
effect could open the door for
Seve Ballesteros to play an'
expanded schedule on the
American Professional
Golfers Association tour.
“It is interesting. It could
allow me to play more. We’ll
see," Ballesteros said before
teeing off today in the first
round of the $300,000 Jackie
Gleason-Inverrary Classic.
The rule, which needs ap-
proval of the Tour Board,
would raise from three to 10
the number of events in which
non-tour members, such as
Ballesteros, can compete.
Ballesteros, the handsome
young Spaniard who currently
owns the British Open title and
is undisputedly the finest
player in Europe, is opening a
three-event swing through •
Florida. He said he will come
back to play in the Masters
(which does not count toward
his limit of three events) and
make a later decision on
whether to play future tour-
naments in the United States.
“I haven’t really made a
decision,” Ballesteros said in
his improving English. “The
new rule could let me play
maybe as much as I want to.”
One of the most exciting,
dynamic young players in
golf, often likened to the young
Arnold Palmer, Ballesteros
has made a strong com-
* mitment to continue to
compete in Europe and in-
dicated he will concentrate his
efforts — at least for this
season — in that area.
“Europe needs me more
• than they need me here,” he
said. “The language, the food,
the travel, I feel more com-
fortable in Europe. I owe a lot
to golf in Europe.
The European tour has not
yet started. Ballesteros said
he has not competed since
November. He gave a
• characteristic and expressive
shrug when asked about the
state of his game.
“Just testing," he said.

Kansas State handed the Hogs their worse defeat of the current
campaign when they met in December. The Wildcats post a 66 to
67 victory at Pine Bluff behind Rolanda Blackman’s 22 points.
The probable starters for the Wildcats will be 6-7 Jari Wills and
6-7 Ed Nealy at forwards; 6-10 l^s Craft at center; 6-6 Roland
Blackman and 5-11 Glenn Marshall at guards. Blackman was the
Big Eight Player of the Year and averages 17.9 points a game
Wills averages 10.3 points a game.
Sophomore Scott Hasting leads the Hogs at the goal with an
average of 16.5 points a game. U.S. Reed backs him up averaging
13.9 points an outing. Hastings and Alan Zahn are the leading re-
bounders.
"Naturally we’re excited about being invited to the NCAA tour-
nament again this year,” Coach Sutton commented. “The at-
large invitation came as welcome news after losing in the finals of
our conference tournament. The only other at-large invitation
Arkansas ever has received was two years ago and we made it
through the toughest regional to the final four."
Sutton says there are plenty of teams in the tournament weaker
than Kansas State but there are also plenty tougher. “It might
work as a psychological advantage for us to have lost once to K-
State this year."
"It’s not like we are playing someone we’re not familiar with.
We know Kansas State’s philosophy and it’s similar to ours. If
we’re fortunate enough to get past K-State, we’d play I-ouisville
and that’s the same team we played in the regionals last year,
although they are obviously much improved," Sutton continued.
The Arkansas coach feel the Hogs will need a few good breaks
to win the midwest regional. "We’re not as good as we’ve been the
last three years. Evidently the NCAA selection committee agrees
with me since they seeded us 10th in a 12 team field."

The Arkansas Razorbacks meet Big Eight champion Kansas
State in the first round of the Subregional tournament Thursday
at Lincoln, Nebraska. This is the fourth consecutive year the
Razorbacks have been invited to the NCAA basketball tourna-
ment.
Tip off will be 7 p.m. Thursday and the winner will meet
_■ Louisville on Saturday in the second round.
The Hogs are playing in the Midwest Regional and the rest of
the bracket finds Missouri and San Jose playing on Thursday with
the winner to meet Notre Dame Saturday at Lincoln. In Denton,
Texas A&M (SWC champions) meet Bradley on Friday with the
winner battling North Carolina on Sunday. Alcorn State and South
Alabama meet Friday for the right to play top-seeded LSU Sun-
day. The four winners of Saturday’s and Sunday's games advance
to the Midwest Regionals the following weekend in Houston.
Arkansas is ten and eight in NCAA tournament competition.
The Razorbacks had been invited to the NCAA post season play
only four times in their first 50 years of basketball competition
before Eddie Sutton arrived as coach. Since Sutton came to
Arkansas prior to the 1974-75 season, the Hogs have been a
regular in the tournament. Sutton’s teams are six and three in
NCAA tournaments during the past three seasons. Twice the Hogs
have entered the field as SWC champions and post-season tourna-
ment winners; this is the second time they have been an “at large
team”.
Arkansas is 21 and seven and finished second in the SWC with a
13 and three record. Kansas State is 21 and eight and tied wit
Nebraska for second in the Big Eight. The Wildcats won the Big
Eight tournament with a 60 to 59 semifinal victory over Nebraska
and a 79 to 58 win over Kansas in the finals. Ixiuisville is ranked
fourth nationally with a 28 and three record; the Cardinals won
the Metro Conference championship with an 81 to 72 victory over
Florida State.
Arkansas and Kansas State have never met in the NCAA tour-
nament but they are familiar foes. Coach Sutton and Kansas State
coach Jack Hartman were teammates under Oklahoma Coach
Henry Iba, The Hogs won only one game in five against Kansas
“I shot 69 in the pro-am. . State and that came in the 1976-77 season.

Although he hasn’t played
this year, his unquestioned
talent, great length off the tee
and uncanny ability to come
out of trouble make him one of
the prime candidates for the
854,000 first prize in the 72-hole
event on the 7,127 yard, par 72
Inverrary Golf Club course.
In the impressive array of
talent opposing him are the
holders of the other three
major titles, Hale Irwin (U.S.
Open), David Graham of
Australia (PGA) and Fuzzy
Zoeller (Masters), defending
champion Larry Nelson, Lee
Trevino, Johnny Miller, Jerry
Pate, Hubert Green, Andy
Bean and Dave Eichelberger,
a winner last week at the Bay
Hill Classic.
Much of the attention will be
centered on the continuing
comeback try of Jack
Nicklaus, a three-time winner
of this title. Nicklaus, now 40
and attempting to rebound
from the worst season of his
unmatched career, is opening
a stretch of three consecutive
tournament appearances.
