Arkansas and Texas remain tied
atop the Southwest Conference with
9-2 records heading into this week's
action, but in terms of the SWC post-
season tournament, the Hogs are
first.
If the two teams tie for first during
the regular season, the Razorbacks
get the first seed by virtue of their
two regular-season victories over the
lamghorns.
So Texas is looking for help as the
SWC race enters the stretch run. It
might come this week as Arkansas
plays road games at Southern
Methodist on Wednesday and Texas
A&M on Saturday.
Two of the Razorbacks’ last three
games are at home.
Texas will attempt to stay close
when it plays host to Houston on
Wednesday before playing at Texas
Tech on Saturday.
Texas Christian has lost its grip on
the SWC top spot. The Horned Frogs,
now two games behind the frontrun-
ners, have lost four of their past five
conference games, most recently a
100-60 loss at Arkansas on Saturday.
The Hereford Whitefaccs could
never quite recover from a 9-point

Blue Devils are 12-0 in games outside

Switzer told the
Oklahoma News Network.
Media, friends and spectators
crowded into the courtroom Tues-
day. Thompson, wearing an orange
jumpsuit, was attentive and quiet.
He looked at his mother briefly.

Kansas City. So far. Hyman said, it
appears the Eagles-Jets game seems
the most likely, partly because
former Jets quarterback Don
Maynard lives in El Paso and is
boosting the preseason game.
Hyman acknowledged Dallas,
Houston, Phoenix or Denver pro-
bably could draw more fan interest
than the three matchups available,
and he said many people would be
buying tickets before they knew who
would be playing.
"We hope by the fact that it's the
first NFL game to come here that we
can draw the people,” he said.
The promoters plan to push the
preseason competition from Midland
to Tucson, concentrating most heavi-
ly on El Paso, Juarez, and Las
Cruces and Alamogordo, N.M. They
expect a good response from Juarez.
"We’ve visited various maquilas in
Juarez," said Martha Tovar, who is
helping promote the plan in El
Paso’s Mexican twin city. "They’ve
been impressed; they’ve received us
with a lot of interest.”
Hyman said he and the NFL would
like to come to an agreement by mid-
May
If other cities in the running show
they can sell tickets faster, they
would be chosen before El Paso, he
said.
troubles had peaked, the third-
ranked Tigers got leveled by a
Cyclone.
Iowa State upset Missouri 82-75
Tuesday night, hours after Coach
Norm Stewart underwent surgery
for colon cancer and a diseased gall
bladder.
Stewart, who had been hospitalized
last week with a bleeding ulcer, is
listed in satisfactory condition.
"I don't think we can use Norm be-
ing gone as an excuse to losing,”
center Gary Ijeonard said. "It is up
to us to get ready to play each game.
They told us about the surgery at
pregame meal and I thought
everyone had gotten over it.”
Missouri. 21-5, lost for the second
time m three games with Stewart ab-
sent. The Tigers fell into second
place in the Big Eight at 7-2. one-half
game behind Oklahoma.
"We never found a way to play the
way we wanted to,” said assistant
coach Rich Daly, who guided
Missouri. Daly is running the Tigers
because top assistant Bob Sundvold
was suspended recently amid allega-
tions of NCAA rules violations.
Victor Alexander and Terry Woods
scored 19 points each for Iowa State,
12-9 and 3-6 in the conference. The
Cyclones beat Missouri for the fourth
straight time at home.
"It’s a terrific thrill to beat the No.
3 team in the country." Iowa State
coach Johnny Orr said. “I still hold a
lot of respect for Missouri, but we
were better tonight. It was the night
for us to win. This is one of the great
victories ui the history of Iowa
State.”

"One thing for sure is that we
never run any set plays,” Moe said.
"If anybody should know what we
are running. I’m the man. But I’m
telling you, we ain’t running
anything, we’re free-lancing. My
players have told me the other coach
is diagraming our plays. That's im-
possible, we don’t have any.”
"The crowd put pressure on the of-
ficials and it went from there,” said
TCU Coach Moe Iba. "When you run
out of players, what can you do?*'.
Texas' Lance Blanks and Travis
Mays scored 33 points each in a
116-74 victory over the Rice Owls,
who are 3-8 in SWC play.
"We tried zone and man-to-man
and if you have any other defenses to
try call them out to me and I’ll
listen,” said Rice Coach Scott
Thompson.
"When both Lance and Travis are
tracking, we are an awfully tough
team to beat," said Texas Coach
Tom Penders.
TCU is third in the league race
with a 7-4 record followed by Tech at
6-5, Houston and SMU each at 5-5,

EL PASO. Texas (AP) — It’s first
down and thousands to go for a group
of El Pasoans trying to land a Na-
tional Football league preseason
game Aug. 19 in the Sun Bowl.
El Paso Sports Productions wants
to sell as many tickets as possible in
the next couple of weeks to convince
the NFL El Paso can play host to a
professional football game, company
spokesman John Hyman said Tues-
day.
A sellout of the 51,000-seat stadium
isn't expected by March 1, but the
promoters plan to get as close to a
sellout as they can by then with a
ticket-selling drive among large
businesses in El Paso, Ciudad
Juarez, West Texas and southern
New Mexieo.
"The NFL has given us a
preliminary indication it will hold a
game here if we can show we have
enough support." Hyman said, ad-
ding that other cities are trying to
draw an NFL preseason game.
El Paso Sports Productions
spokesman Tom Lemon said the
NFL "wants to see movement on
sales by March 15,” and the com-
pany wants to be able to report
strong sales by March 1.
