SHREVFPORT-BQHSIFR TITY Thl Time 4-C Oct. 10, Pride impresses Yam Breda Kolff By JIM MCIAIN Timet Sport Writer o.v; 1 $t' 1 ijjlrjljlH- nice little player. She dribbles well, passes well and shoots good," he said. Brumfield, of Independence and Southeastern Louisiana, was the team's No. I draft pick.

Van Breda Kolff said the 6-tooter was being considered at one time as a forward, "but we're not very strong at the center position. We might have to use her there." A girl expected to be one of the club's prime offensive performers, the University of Tennessee's Cindy Brogdon, is not in camp. The Pride obtained the rights to the 5-foot-10 Vol scoring machine in a trade with the California Dreams, but Van Breda Kolff said, "She has to do her practice teaching. We're not counting on her being available until early December." Sarah Williams of Cleburne, Texas, is the tallest player in camp. She was acquired in a trade with the Milwaukee Does.

The 6-toot-3 center-forward is one of four on the squad from perennial small college powerhouse SLU and one of the reasons an exhibition game is planned in Hammond later this fall. Although they don't have a Louisiana Tech player on the roster, another exhibition game is ticketed for Ruston where the Lady Techsters, who reached the national finals, drew large crowds last winter. The Pride will also play pre-season games in Jackson, and Alexandria, Van Breda Kolff said. The Pride's second round pick also is from Southeastern, 5-foot guard Cindy Williams of McComb, Miss. After that first game in the Superdome, the Pride will play the rest of its home games at Tulane University, site of the training camp.

Butch said the club has already formulated a plan for admitting the press to the locker room. "We'll have a two-to-three minute cooling off period after a game and then the press can come in but after a certain time they'll have to leave so the girls can shower. A girl reporter will not be allowed to stay in after the men have left. That wouldn't be fair," he said. Butch, who also tutored the Detroit Pistons at ore time, said, "interest in the city seems to be very good.

Everyone's been asking me, 'How are the Now the question is, will they buy tickets? "They're tough, I'm really impressed with that," says Butch Van Breda Kolff, who last weejc opened the training camp for Louisiana's newest pro sports franchise, the New Orleans Pride. Pride, which opens play in the Women's Basketball League on Nov. IS in the Super-dome, is the former National Basketball Association coach's first experience with a women's team. 1 rVe had one girl, Charlotte Nicholson, dis-te her shoulder and another, Queen Brum-field, sprain an ankle and there were no tears. dive after the ball all over the court.

I'm really impressed with that part," said Butch who since 1974 has coached both the New Orleans Jazz of the NBA and the University of Njew Orleans Buccaneers. main difference is that girls can't do the physical things that men can do. They can't slam dunk, they dont have the speed or jumping ability, but after that it's the same," he said. got 24 girls in camp and we've been gvlng about 3 hours a day in practice. We're trying to find out now who can run, who can jump and who can shoot.

'They're learning a different style game," Butch said of his offense which he terms, "organized confusion. don't think it's anything another team can set up for. We play our offense according to the defense. It's complicated, but it's really very simple once you get to know it," he said. Butch says once he gets the squad pared down to "11 or 12, I'll start concentrating on teaching.

used to standing there watching, passing the ball and waiting for something to happen. In this there's so much more movement. They're going to have to learn how to set a pick and learn how to use one." Butch, who had Los Angeles in the playoffs in both his years as coach of the Lakers (1967-69), said the girl who has impressed him the most in early workouts has been Sybil Blalock, a 5-foot-5 guard out of Mercer University. played last year in Europe. She's a very Switzer agrees Texas favorite NORMAN, Okla.

(UPI) Third-ranked Oklahoma deserves the underdog role in Saturday's clash with fifth-ranked Texas, Sooner coach Barry Switzer caid Tuesday. "There's no way 're as good this year as wt were last year," witter said at his weekly news conference. Texas coach Fred Akers had been quoted Monday as saying both teams are better this year than last. "I think Freddie was Influenced a little bit by the way we're doing ft," Switaer said. "I think what we Ye doing is a better offensive concept than what we were doing a year ago.

We're doing it with less talent." "The alignment is better; the alignees arent," Switzer quipped. Switzer said oddsmakers list Texas as the favorite, and he agrees with them. "They have a definite edge In the kicking game and they would be considered a better defensive team," he said. Switzer said Texas Is stronger 00 defense than a year ago, with most starters back. "They have great speed; they have quickness, and they are well coached," he said.

"Their strength is that they are all good. They have several outstanding players. They dont have a weak link on defense." He said Oklahoma, in contrast, has one great defensive player George Cumby. "Cumby stands out because he's a lone hawk out there," Switzer said. "If somebody else doesn't make a play, he goes and does it.

He's a Jet." Switzer said Oklahoma coaches had evaluated films of all three Texas games this year victories over Iowa State, Missouri and Rice. "Of those three opponents, we felt that Missouri was the only team that could give Texas a test, and they flunked it miserably," he said. Switzer said defensive back Jay Jinierson pro-baly will miss the game Saturday at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas because of a strained knee ligament; defensive lineman John Goodman is not fully recovered from his injury, and kicker John Hoge sill is hampered by leg bruises. Tulane's Alexis sets pass mark Only one player on the Tulane Green Wave football team has started every game since his freshman year. That one player has now caught more passes than any receiver in Tulane history.

His name is Alton Alexis and he is a senior from New Iberia, La. "That record means a lot to me. I feel real good about being able to do something no one else has ever done. I also really like having a streak of consecutive games started going. It gives me a challenge of playing whether I'm hurt or not.

I also have to keep from getting beat out during practice," said Alexis. Alton has caught 93 passes and that eclipses the old mark of 87 set by Jaime Garza from 1972-75. Against Vanderbilt Saturday night, he caught seven Roch Hontas' passes for 70 yards. The Green Wave beat the Commodores 42-H in the Superdome to raise their season record to 4-1. The 'Dores dropped to 0-4 on the year.

"This is the first time since high school that my team has been 4-1. It's such a better feeling to win than it is to lose. We've got a close group of guys on this team and we're going to go far this year," he continued. To be sure that the record-breaking catch was spectacular, Alton had to do it on a touchdown pass of nine yards with the game scoreless in the first quarter. "Yea, man! I wanted this to be something I remember my entire life.

Now I know it will."

Roland Harper out for season CHICAGO (AP) Fullback Roland Harper, who hasn't played a game yet, will be out for the season, Chicago Bear Coach Neill Armstrong announced Harper, who rushed for 992 yards last year and has been the chief blocker for Walter Payton, suffered a knee injury during the exhibition season. Harper underwent minor, arthroscopic surgery and was placed on the injured reserve list with hopes of returning after four weeks.

Then it was said it would be "a week to week matter." But Armstrong said Harper will undergo major surgery for cartilage and will be out for the year. LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) This small Adirondack Mountain village, home of the 1980 Winter Olympics, got it first snowfall of the season Tuesday. The wet snow mingled with rain overnight and kept falling Tuesday morning coating the village with an inch or two of the white stuff. Streets and sidewalks remained clear, but the frosting lingered on lawns and bare earth.

Winters are usually long in the Adirondacks, but the weather can be unpredictable. In 1932, when Lake Placid staged its first Olympic Games, the ground was bare three days before the start of competition. Artificial snow and ice-making machinery should prevent that sort of problem next February, "but other tilings can happen. During test competitions last winter, for example, temperatures plummetted to as much as 30 degrees below zero. Later that winter, however, unseasonally mild weather forced cancellation of pre-Olympic bobsled competitions.

The mean snowfall for February is 27 inches, with a high of 51 inches recorded in 1960, according to National Sether Service records. The mean temperature is 15 above zero. THE. TVPE OF SHOT VOU'LL PLRV. NT.
