included a 5-1 record at the holiday break But the Maverick prospects for a Happy New Year hinge on a tough January schedule which according to Dowd will just what we are made The Mavs resumed two-a-day workouts Wednesday in preparation for a Monday night clash with Wayland Baptist at Plainview before coming home to face rugged New Mexico State Jan 8 at Texas Hall ONLY TWO home games are cm the January slate which includes a tough trip north to face Ball State and Butler is outstanding They beat Cincinnati and Cincinnati beat Ohio State And Ball State is almost as good will be a key month Our goal is to improve each game Our goal Monday is to play like we been off a Dowd plans two workouts per day until Saturday and the five hours a day on the court will not go without special emphasis plan to stress defense The kids are hustling but at times we are not rotating right and are out of position And we plan to come up with a surprise or two we plan to stress execution We had worked so hard on the zone that when Southwest Missouri threw a man-to-man at us it threw us 6 6 6 INDIVIDUALLY Dowd pointed to the play of Dave Evans Greg Hunter and Mark Burden as providing the

However as Alabama rather conclusively proved It's difficult to mount an offense when you're sittinq on the bench for 40 minutes or so And this Is where Sullivan Beasley and Schmalz figure to spend

sectional pride involved here Much has been said about quality of Pnn State's the Lions' 10 victims collectively won 42 and lost 63 However not much Is mentioned about Texas' competition The Longhorns' 8 victories came et the expense of opposition which won only 30 of 84 qames Fact is-r-Penn State playing comparable schedules then went down to the Oranqe Bowl In 1968 and 1969 and with
