12 -Spectrum Monday. December 3, 1990 Hawaii QB Gabriel outshines Detmer in big Rainbow victory HONOLULU (AP) Ty Detmer has the Heisman Trophy, but Garrett Gabriel has another victory over Brigham Young. With Detmer throwing four interceptions on his way to setting the NCAA single-season passing yardage record, Gabriel was by far the more consistent passer as Hawaii upset the fourth-ranked Cougars 59-28 Saturday night. Gabriel, the hero in last year's 56-14 upset of BYU, completed 21 of 39 passes for 359 yards and three touchdowns in his last game for the Rainbows. "I wanted to play a good game, not so much because of him (Detmer), but because it was our last game," Gabriel said.

"I was concentrating more on their defense than on him." Kenny Harper had three interceptions that led to Hawaii touch downs, Tony Pang-Kee picked off another pass from Detmer and Hawaii recovered a fumble all in the first half as the Rainbows jumped to a 35-14 half time lead. Detmer, taunted near the end of the game by fans yelling, "The Rocket should have got it," said the loss and his performance took much of the joy out of his Heisman victory. "It lakes a lot away," he said. "You can't enjoy it like you should be able to because we're riding home on a long flight." "We won the turnover battle real big, and that was the difference," Hawaii coach Bob Wagner said. Slotback Dane McArthur gained 126 yards rushing, ran for a touchdown and caught eight passes for 92 yards, including another TD.

Running back Jamal Farmer scored on touchdown runs of 2, 1 and 1 yards and Jeff Sydner caught seven passes for 143 yards and a touchdown. "It was one of those frustrating nights," BYU coach La Veil Edwards said. "It would be interesting to see what they could do if they played like that all of the time." Asked if he would be back next year to try for another Heisman, Detmer said, "Oh yeah. I think it'll probably be for this game." "I'll be gald to get a chance at them at Provo next year. We'll see what it's like for them over there on the mainland at 4,500 feet." Hawaii's 59 points is the most ever scored against Brigham Young.

Although Detmer's 319 yards passing which included three touchdowns gave him the single-season NCAA passing record, Ga briel was the game's most effective quarterback as Hawaii toppled the Western Athletic Conference champion Cougars (10-2, 7-1) for the second straight year. Detmer hardly looked the part of a Heisman winner against the Rainbows (7-5, 4-4). Facing almost constant blitzes from Hawaii's tenacious defense, Detmer seemed to complete as many passes to Hawaii as he did to his own receivers. Hawaii, which led 35-14 at half-time, widened the lead to 41-14 early in the second half as Gabriel bit Sydner on 17-yard touchdown pass. Zerin Khan's kick failed.

Detmer then led BYU on what would turn out to be its only serious rally of the game. In the third quarter, he completed a 7-yard TD pass to Andy Boyce and a 4-yard scoring toss to Matt Bellini as the Cougars closed to 41-28. But a l-yard touchdown run, a two-point conversion, a 39-yard field goal by Kahn and a 1-yard keeper by Gabriel closed the door on the Cougars. Detmer finished with 5,187 yards for the season, just 47 more than Houston's David Klingler, who passed for a single-game record of 716 yards in his final game against Arizona State. Hawaii capitalized on five BYU turnovers in the first half, taking advantage of the miscues to score the first four times they had the ball Gabriel threw for 242 yards and two touchdowns in the half.

McArthur caught a touchdown pass and rushed for another score, and running back Fanner bulled into the end zone twice before intermission. Hawaii jumped to a 23-7 first-quarter leao thanks to Harper's two interceptions. McArthur set up Hawaii's first score, grabbing a pass with one hand for a 28-yard gain to the BYU 28. Three plays later, Gabriel hit McArthur for a 30-yard touchdown with 9: 19 left in first quarter. BYU tied the score on its next drive as Detmer scored on a 3-yard bootleg around the left side.

Hawaii drove 59 yards, 35 of those on a pass from Gabriel to Larry Khan-Smith, and Farmer scored on a 2-yard plunge. Harper intercepted Detmer the next two series, leading to two touchdowns. Farmer made it 21-7 on a 1-yard run and McArthur scored on a 21-yard option run to make it 28-7. ad and Receive Davis Cup win tarnished Mention this EE Agassi decision, many among Rainbow Warriors rain on Detmer's parade I TINT 12-31-90 AND ULTRAVIOLET COAT in plastic lenses wpurchase of new eye glasses. the 14,812 fans in the hangar-like dome howled in disapproval.

Australian team captain Neale Fraser wasn't too happy, either. "Some of our guys got some problems, some injuries, but we keep it quiet. We go through the agony and the pain. We try to lose sportingly," he said. "I'm not a doctor.

It's about time we won one," Detmer said. Steve Young was runner-up to Nebraska's Mike Rozier in 1983, while Marc Wilson, Jim McMa-hon and Robbie Boscoe each finished third. Detmer has already set or tied NCAA passing and total offense records. If he plays another year, he could break virtually every NCAA career passing record. He is second on the NCAA's career yardage list with 11,000 425 behind all-time leader Todd Santos of San Diego State.

He has thrown for more than 300 yards in 24 consecutive games. Despite his shaky performance against Hawaii, Detmer's 319 yards allowed him to set the NCAA single-season passing yardage record. His 5,188 yards were 48 more than Klingler, who passed for a single-game record of 716 yards his final game against Arizona State. Detmer said the Heisman hype seemingly endless television and newspaper interviews had worn on him. But he said it had no effect on his performance against Hawaii.

"I came ready to play," Detmer said. "After last year (another Hawaii upset), we all came ready to play. They just beat us." Detmer is the 10th underclassman to win the Heisman and the third junior in a row to claim the award. Barry Sanders of Oklahoma State won in 1988 and Houston's Andre Ware won in 1989. Both left school after their victories and turned professional.

Detmer says he'll be back to try to win the trophy again in 1991. The Heisman "is just an extra benefit to this season," he said. "It shouldn't change whether I'm coming back or not."

PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) No sooner had the United States won its first Davis Cup in eight years than it was accused of tarnishing the title with poor sportsmanship. The Americans clinched the best-of-five final over Australia Saturday when the doubles team of Rick Leach and Jim Pugh pulled out a four-set victory over the Aussie tandem of Pat Cash and John Fitzgerald. Andre Agassi and Michael Chang had given the Americans the early lead with singles victories on Friday. It was the United States' 29th Davis Cup title since the international competition began at the turn of the century and its first since taking consecutive Cups in 1981-82.

With the title won, Sunday's remaining two singles matches on the slow, red clay of the Florida Suncoast Dome may have been meaningless but that didn't mean they couldn't produce controversy. Agassi complained of a chest injury and abruptly pulled out of his contest with Darren Cahill after rallying to even the match at a set apiece leaving Cahill angrily questioning whether he was even injured at all "He didn't look injured to me when he was hitting his grounds-trokes, and that's the biggest part of his game," said Cahill, who was awarded the match by default with the score 6-4, 4-6. Agassi was later diagnosed at Bayfront Medical Center as having a torn muscle under his breast bone an injury described by attending Dr. Steve Epstein as very painful. "I don't know if it was a mockery or not, but if he wasn't injured, it was a disgrace," Cahill said.

"It's always good to win, but it's also good to lose with a little guts." Cahill's default win followed by Richard Fromberg's 7-5, 2-6, 6-3, triumph over Chang made the U.S. victory look officially like a squeaker at 3-2. Agassi, who blamed a previously undisclosed flu for a five-set struggle over Fromberg in his opening match, displayed flashes of baseline brilliance mixed with wild inconsistency against Cahill. Stymied by Cahill's serve-and-volley tactics, Agassi lost the first set 6-4 and was down 3-2 in the second when he gave the first hint something was wrong. Agassi removed his neon-yellow shirt and the team trainer taped him around the ribs.

Agassi went on to break Cahill's serve for the first time and then hold his own to win the set. That's when he turned to Gorman and said he was unable to continue. When the umpire announced and sophisticated, these Citizen have a timely sense of style. In HONOLULU (AP) Ty Detmer came down to Earth in a hurry. Fresh from his Heisman Trophy victory, he threw four interceptions that helped Hawaii shock No.

4 Brigham Young 59-28 Saturday night, dropping the Cougars out of contention for the national championship. "After a loss like this, you just can't enjoy it the way it should be enjoyed," Detmer said. "At BYU, we don't take losses well." His brief answers and somber tone were a sharp contrast to the Detmer of a few hours before, who thrust his right fist into the air when the Downtown Athletic Club of New York named him the winner of collegiate football's biggest individual honor. Detmer received 316 first-place votes and 1,482 points in nationwide voting by 917 sports journalists for the Heisman. All-purpose star Raghib "Rocket" Ismail of Notre Dame was second with 237 first-place votes and 1,177 points.

Colorado running back Eric Bieniemy 114 and 798) Virginia quarterback Shawn Moore (46 and 465) and Houston quarterback David Klingler (7 and 125) followed. Rounding out the Top 10 finishers were Virginia wide receiver Herman Moore, Washington running back Greg Lewis, Miami quarterback Craig Erickson, Texas running back Darren Lewis and Army's Mike Mayweather. Players receive three points for a first-place vote, two for second and one for third. "I don't know of anyone in the country that's more deserving," BYU coach LaVell Edwards said. "He not only put up the numbers and had a great year that way, but he's won a conference championship, and he's got his team ranked very high nationally." Detmer, a 6-foot, 175-pound junior, is the latest in a long line of great BYU passers.

But he Big Sky to have by Associated Press After a season of upsets and strange happenings in college football, the Big Sky Conference knows one thing for sure one of its own will play in the NCAA Division I-AA championship game on Dec. 15. That was assured after Boise State bet the house on a fourth down, fourth quarter fake punt that led to the winning score as the Broncos defeated top-rated Middle Tennessee State 20-13. And Nevada turned over all the right cards in its wild 42-35 triple-overtime win over Furman. The two Big Sky foes will meet this week in Reno, with the winner traveling to Statesboro, to play for the national title.

Meanwhile, Idaho paid its own visit to Statesboro and pushed Georgia Southern all over its own field. But turnovers including a fumble at the Georgia Southern 23-yard-line as the clock wound down hurt Idaho badly as their heady season came to an end, 28-27. "This team is ready to rock and roll," Boise State coach Skip Hall said after his team's gutty performance. "We'll do whatever it. takes to win."

Boise State kicker Mike Black dropped back to his own 5-yard line to punt on fourth-and-two with 11:30 to play and the score tied 13 apiece. Black, the smallest player on the field at 5-6 and 141 pounds, calmly took three steps and fired a first down into a stiff wind to Elijah George for an 18-yard gain.
