$. ay. i The Dally Spectrum Saturday, October 29, 1988 Pago 8 44 Js Rosenbach leads WSU against UCLA ii I i 1 mi, 9. A in a 24-3 victory at Arizona. "Arizona's defense is good but not that good," UCLA Coach Terry Donahue said.

"We didn't run-block well and we wasted three or four plays with backs going the wrong way. It is something we need to improve on." In other games, No. 2 Notre Dame faces Navy, No. 3 Southern Cal meets Oregon State, No. 4 Miami takes on East Carolina, No.

5 West Virginia plays Perm State, No. 6 Nebraska meets Missouri, No. 8 Oklahoma faces Kansas, No. 9 Auburn meets Florida and No 10 Wyoming meets Colorado State. Also, No.

11 Arkansas tackles Rice, No. 12 Oklahoma State plays Kansas State, No. 14 Michigan meets Northwestern, No. 15 Louisiana State plays Mississippi, No. 16 Alabama battles Mississippi State, No.

17 South Carolina meets North Carolina State, No. 18 Clemson plays Wake Forest, No. 19 Oregon meets Arizona and No. 20 Georgia takes on William Mary. 1-3 in the conference, averages 37.9 points and 522 yards per game second and third in the nation, respectively.

But the Cougars will play without Pac-10 leading rusher Steve Broussard, out with a sprained ankle. In last week's 31-28 loss to Arizona State, Rich Swinton filled in for Broussard and gained 193 yards. The Cougars are last in the Pac-10 on defense, surrendering 24.6 points and 413.4 yards a game. "I don't see much improvement in our team right now," Cougars Coach Dennis Erickson said. "We are staying where we were at the beginning of the season.

And we are beat up. "But we can heal a lot of things by playing well against UCLA. They are an awesome team that is very good on both sides of the ball. We need to try to control the ball and keep their offense off the field." UCLA, which has not lost to Washington State in five games since 1979, is a 19 -point favorite. The Bruins, who have not opened 8-0 since their national championship season of 1954, want to run more effectively than last, when they were limited to just 90 yards on thu ground w.

-i ft KANAB Kanab running back Tony Johnson heads upfield early in the second quarter after catching a pass from Dustin Moore (1 1) as a herd of Ram defenders, including Tai Weaver (32) and Kyle Austin (58) give pursuit. Kanab won the game 42-15 to advance to the state-semi-final playoff game. (Spectrum Rick Guldan) Cowboys lasso Rams in harriers place well by united Press international Timm Rosenbach, who three years ago aspired only to playing a bit part for Washington State, Saturday has far higher goals. The nation's top-rated passer hopes to overshadow Troy Aikman and lead the Cougars to an upset of No. 1 UCLA.

"I didn't think I could ever do what (Mark Rypien) did," Rosenbach said of the former Washington State quarterback, now with the Washington Redskins. "I remember saying, 'I hope one day I'm in there holding for extra I really didn't think I could be the starting quarterback." As a junior, however, Rosenbach has completed 71 percent of his attempts for 1,883 yards with 18 touchdowns and seven interceptions. At this rate, he will break John Elway's Pacific-10 record of 3,104 total yards, set six years ago. Aikman, the top contender for the Heisman Trophy, has guided UCLA to victories in its first seven games, completed 67 percent of his passes for 1,708 yards, 19 touchdowns and five interceptions. Washington State, 4-3 overall and Local prep SALT LAKE CITY There were some outstanding individual performances turned in at the Utah High School Activities Association cross country championships staged on Wednesday at Sugarhouse Park in Salt Lake City.

Southern Utah schools represented themselves well, as the Pine View and Hurricane boys and girls turned in gritty efforts at the respective 3-A and 2-A meets. Region 7 champion Cedar City High School finished sixth overall in the boys 3-A competition, turning in a 139 score. Meanwhile, the Pine View Panthers, runner-up to Cedar in Region 7, finished 12th overall with a score of 325. Timpview captured the team title in both divisions. In crosscountry competition, each runner is awarded points for his finish with the team posting the lowest score winning the meet.

In the girls 3-A division, Pine View finished 11th with a score of 323. Cedar finished ninth with a 183 score. Pine View coach Bob Comeford was happy with his young team's efforts at the state meet. "For a lot of these kids this is their first year. But if we keep improving we'll be strong in the years to come." PV Sophomore Ryan Neumann finished 58th overall, turning in the top Panther time at 17.57.

Darin Wells (62), Charlie Castano (71), Dusty Thompson (74), Mike Neyman (75), vV a No. 7 Florida State and No. Syracuse are idle. 13. meet last year, had his appendix taken out five weeks ago.

He was able to run, but tired near the end of the 3.1 mile course, finishing 32nd overall. Bruce Zadrozni. the Tigers' second runner, injured his knee recently, and was not able to finish, thus hurting the Hurricane team's title aspirations. Seniors Gene Garate and Miles LeBaron turned in the top times for the Tigers, finishing 13th and 19th respectively. Elbert Hepworth and Del Reusch also turned in top individual times.

In the girl's race, Becky Eves was expected to challenge San Juan's Tara Laws -for the individual title. However, Eves was felled by the flu the day of the race, and faltered to fifth place overall. Kim Gubler, Hurricane's second runner, was called for a false start at the beginning of the race, and although Hill protested, she was not allowed to run. Another runner, Angela Hinton, passed out midway thorugh the race due to an infection, thus leaving the Tigers with only four runners. JanDee Hep-worth, Jennifer Blackmore and Amy Price ran well for the Lady Tigers.

"I'm happy with the way local running programs are growing, especially the girls' programs. I hope the interest will continue to grow." Moore connected with tight end Mike Dinsmore for a 70-yard scoring play. "After Kanab got the two quick scores, it really took the heart out of our kids," Ram coach Scott Henderson said. "It's happened to us before. We put together a good drive and (they) come right back with a quick score and it lowers their self esteem." Kanab continued its assault against the shell-shocked Rams, adding a third touchdown just before the end of the first quarter.

Brad Dastrup scooted around the right side scampering 19 yards into the end zone to cap a five-play, 53-yard drive. Dastrup killed another Parowan drive in the second quarter when he picked off a Munson pass intended for Cranford. The big tight end slipped when he made his cut, giving Dastrup a chance at the balT The Rams had yet another shot at the scoreboard when defensive lineman Jason Lovell recovered a Hank Crosby fumble. Four plays later, however, the Rams turnea the ball back to the Cowboys on downs. Kanab wasted no time in marching 67 yards into the end zone for its fourth touchdown of the half.

The score was made by Dastrup who raced around the left end and sped 23 yards down the sidelines. Parowan tightened up its defense at the start of the second half, as Brandon Thorton picked of a Moore pass intended for Travis McAllister. Once again though, it was four downs 1 -A playoff and out for Parowan as the Kanab defense dominated the line of scrimmage. Kanab scored two quick touchdowns late in the third quarter. Dastrup returned a Ram punt 75 yards for a score.

The Rams then gave Kanab the ball at the Parowan 28 after a fourth and nine pass from Munson to Thorton came up inches short of a first down. Two plays later, following a holding call, Cowboy backup quarterback Nolan Reidhead hit Tony Johnson for a 38-yard touchdown strike. The Rams defense stiffened after Reidhead intercepted Munson and returned the ball to the Ram 18. On a second and goal from the 5, however, defensive tackle Mike Sherratt recovered a Reidhead fumble. The Rams marched down the field on the strength of Munson's arm, but were turned away as Reidhead picked off Munson once again.

The Ram defense, aided by a sack and a penalty, moved the Cowboys back inside their own 10-yard line. They then succeeded in blocking an Alan Boardman punt, taking over on the Cowboy 16. Earlier in the game, Boardman had nailed a 58-yard punt. Three plays later, with 1:28 left in the game, running back Randy Guy-mon broke through the line for a Ram touchdown. Guymon then ran over the right side for the two-point conversion to conclude the scoring.

Kanab will face the winner of the Rich-Duschesne game next Saturday at Cowboy Stadium. In addition to the Palm and Magnolia, the Lake Buena Vista course also has been used. Saturday's final round is scheduled for the Magnolia. The Disney Classic also features a rare Wednesday-through-Saturday format. Azinger (67-68-62) had 10 birdies on the usually difficult Palm Course, including four birdies on the last five holes.

"I can't believe I'm 19-under and still two shots behind," Azinger said. "That just shows how great Bob is playing." Beck (66-68-63) had nine birdies to jump into contention. Beck, second on this year's money list, should assume the money lead after Saturday since leader Joey Sindelar missed the cut. Beck only trailed Sindelar by $11,978. A finish of 15th or better would vault Beck into the money lead with only two tournaments left in the season.

Fuzzy Zoeller shot a 66 at the Palm Course to remain four shots behind Lohr. "Maybe because they're near Fan-tasyland they're going crazy," Zoeller said of the low scores. "I'm 17-under and I feel like I should be winning by 10." Lohr maintains lead Storybook season to earn by Rick Culdan Staff writer KANAB The Parowan Rams scored the first and the last points in their state football playoff quarterfinal game with the Kanab Cowboys, but the Cowboys used power running, precision passing and outstanding special teams play to score 42 points in between enroute to a 42-15 pasting of the Rams. "I was proud of the way our team played today," Cowboy coach Arlyn Hafen said after the game. "We began the year with few returning starters and had to rebuild.

We were a little sluggish defensively in the first quarter, but were on track offensively early on." Early it looked as if the Rams would make a run at the Cowboys when Ram quarterback Tyler Mun-son hit tight end Brett Cranford for a six-yard scoring strike less than four minutes into the first quarter. The touchdown capped an eight-play, 75-yard scoring drive in which Mun-son threw three passes for 61 yards. But the Cowboys were quick to respond as Travis Johnson took a reverse handoff from Travis McAllister on the ensuing kickoff, returning it 85 yards for a touchdown. The Rams began putting together another drive, moving to the Cowboy 40 after a pass interference call, but defensive back Jason Hafen intercepted an errant Munson pass giving Kanab the ball at its own 30. On the first play from scrimmage Dustin big bucks Hershiser could wind up as baseball's highest-paid player or pitcher.

Few players ever have entered salary talks with his combination of achievement and good will. Could all this make him the sport's first $3 million player? "We're going to find out," said union head Don Fehr. "He certainly had a $3 million dollar season." "We think he's the premier pitcher in baseball, playing for one of the most profitable teams in sports," Fraley said. Hershiser earned $1 million in 1986, then lost an arbitration case that dropped him to $800,000. He rebounded to $1.1 million last year, and becomes eligible for free agency after the 1989 season.

He could either settle a one-year deal with Los Angeles, go to arbitration, or win a multi-year contract. A one-year contract would put him on the open market a year from now, at the age of 31. "I would prefer market value on a long term deal," Hershiser said. Fraley added he would like a five-year deal. Teams tend to give only two- and three-year contracts.

Paris Open feated Gilbert for the indoor title in Paris last year and recently beat him in the medal round of the Summer Olympics. Chesnokov managed just one point in the final seven games against Mayotte. "Something obviously happened to him in the second set," said Mayotte of Boston. "I think perhaps he didn't like it when I came in and attacked on his serve, then he got mad and seemed to give up trying." Gilbert of Piedmont, had to save 17 break points against Forget, rallying from a three-game deficit in the first set and saving four set Coints before winning in a tie-reaker. Robby Comeford (81) and Dustin Winder (82) all placed well for PV.

Top women finishers for the Panther girls were Paige Enyon (63), Amber MikeselM65), Candice Fife (71), Anna Kemp (76), Michelle Jensen (78), Amy Morris (80) and Megan Morris (81). In the 1-A, 2-A race, Hurricane overcame adversity to turn in a pair of fine performances in both divisions. The Hurricane boys team, expected to challenge for the state title this year, overcame a series of health problems to place fourth with score of 141. Monticello won the team title with a 45 score. The Hurricane girls squad also suffered through a tough afternoon that saw their best runner slowed by sickness, their second runner dis- aualified on a controversial call, and le third runner pass out halfway through the race, thus disqualifying them from team title possibilities.

Still, coach Richard Hill said he was pleased with the outcome of the races. "In the end I was happy with how things turned out," said Hill. "You're never happier as a coach than when your team gives it their best. They really cheered for each other." Matt Gubler, the Tigers' top runner, who finished ninth in the state TTj would have brought the score to deuce. But, after umpire Bruno Re-beuh had called the point for Hlasek, McEnroe screamed that the net-cord judge had called a let.

Replays seemed to show the judge raising his hand after McEnroe had hit the Dall back. After six minutes of McEnroe berating Rebeuh and a pair of supervisors, the serve was ruled a let and Hlasek then lost the point and the game. The Parisian crowd, which had applauded McEnroe all week, jeered the volatile American for the first time in the tournament. "You've got to explain to the people what's happening. They think I'm cheating," McEnroe said to Rebeuh.

1 LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (UPI) Bob Lohr maintained his lead for the third straight round, shooting a 6-under-par 66 Friday to retain a two-shot edge in the $700,000 Walt Disney World Golf Classic. Lohr, trying to become the 11th first-time winner on the PGA Tour this year, opened Wednesday with a 62 and has led since. The fourth-year professional from nearby Orlando stood at 21-under 195 for 54 holes, and is on pace to smash the tournament record of 266 shot by Larry Nelson in 1984. Lohr's score is a 54-hole Disney record, erasing Nelson's 20-under, also set in 1984.

"My game's there," Lohr said of his chances of winning Saturday. "It's a matter of relaxing. I feel like I've played pretty flawless golf so far." Lohr has carded 23 birdies and two bogeys, both three-putts, over three rounds on the three different courses employed in the tournament. Lohr played the Magnolia Course Friday and sank five birdies in his first 11 holes. Paul Azinger fired a 62 Friday and Chip Beck had a 63, both playing at the Palm Course, to share second at 197.

NEW YORK CITY Sitting on top of the world and his new Mitsubishi Montero, Los Angeles Dodger pitcher Orel Hershiser shows off the trophy he was awarded after being named World Series Most Valuable Player by Sport Magazine on Friday. (UPI) Sports Briefs McEnroe stunned by Orel Hershiser NEW YORK (UPI) Orel Hershiser can spend his winter the same way he spent his autumn leading ballplayers to riches. Instead of carrying just the Los Angeles Dodgers, however, Hershiser in a sense represents every big-league player. A record performance at the bargaining table could affect the salary structure all over the majors. "I haven't run this all by my attorney," Hershiser said.

"We will definitely have some meetings. One of the jokes we've made is, '(in arbitration) We will try to set a new indoor world Hershiser went 23-8 and set a record of 59 consecutive scoreless innings during the regular season, then captured MVP honors in both the playoffs and the World Series. Friday he accepted Sport Magazine's World Series MVP Award, and talk centered on the financial rewards he could reap. "He has done something no one in the history of baseball has ever done," said Hershiser's agent, Robert Fraley. "It's certainly not beyond our expectation to be looking for compensation like no one has ever had before." Hlasek at "They don't know what's happening.

They're stupid." Hlasek said later he "felt McEnroe influenced the net-cord judge" and said the crowd seemed to rally to his side after the controversy. In other quarterfinals, Mayotte rolled to a 6-3, 6-0 victory over eighth seed Andrei Chesnokov of the Soviet Union, Gilbert defeated France's Guy Forget 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 and Mansdorf topped Aaron Krickstein of the United States 6-3, 7-6 (7-2). Mayotte, the second seed, faces Gilbert, a finalist in this tournament last year, in one semifinal Saturday and Hlasek meets Mansdorf. Gilbert has not beaten Mayotte in six career encounters. Mayotte de on the year with the win, will most likely host the Rebels in the upcoming Region 18 playoffs.

"They were right on tonight and I guess we just weren't fired up at all. Our usual people couldn't get going. What I reminded the team was that we are probably going to be back here in two weeks. "We played poor and that doesn't even begin to describe how we played," said Titus. "It really is a shame to drive this far and then not even play well." The Rebels, who dropped to 20-15-4 Green Valley Triathlon slated ST.

Tigers, Padres complete trade DETROIT (UPI) The Detroit Tigers traded veteran right-handed pitcher Walt Terrell to the San Diego Padres on Friday in exchange for third baseman Chris Brown and first baseman Keith Moreland. Detroit also received an undisclosed amount of cash for Terrell, who after suffering an ankle injury last winter, failed to reach double figures in victories with the Tigers for the first time since joining them in 1985 Terrell was 7-16 with a 3.97 ERA with Detroit and 54-48 since coming from the New York Mets for Howard Johnson.

The Tigers also purchased the contracts of five players from their minor league system and informed veteran Darrell Evans they would not offer him a contract for next season. Evans, 41, hit 22 home runs this season and drove in 64 runs but batted just .208. He hit .141 with Detroit, who signed him as a free agent in 1984. His 34 home runs in 1987 were the most ever by a 40-year-old and he hit 40 in 1985 to lead the league. PARIS (UPI) Switzerland's Jakob Hlasek moved from the brink of defeat to a stunning victory Friday over John McEnroe to reach the semifinals of the $1.1 million Paris Open.

Hlasek will be joined in the semis by Americans Tim Mayotte and Brad Gilbert, and Amos Mansdorf of Israel. McEnroe seemed poised to close the match when he served at 5-4 in the third set. The 28-year-old New Yorker had not lost his serve since the first round of the tournament and had boomed 11 aces until in the match to that point. But Hlasek, 23, who has risen to No. 25 worldwide after a series of strong showings this year, broke McEnroe's serve and went on to capture the match in a tie-breaker.

McEnroe saved three match points to force the tie-breaker, but then fell apart as Hlasek completed a 7-6 (7-3), 2-6, 7-6 (7-2) triumph. "I feel like vomiting right now. That's how disgusted I am about losing that match," McEnroe said. "I just played two terrible tiebreakers, absolutely terrible." The match featured brilliant serving and volleying by both players and a controversial call in the third set that was changed at McEnroe's behest. Hlasek, facing a break point in the sixth game of the final set, served what appeared to be a winner that Lady Rebels lose, but olinch tourney berth on the season with the loss, will conclude their ICAC regular season today with a 1 p.m.

match against Utah VaDey Community College in Provo. The Wolverines are currently ranked eighth in the nation in the NJCAA polls. The Wolverines helped the Rebel cause earlier in the week by beating Snow College, thus assuring Dixie of a second place finish in the ICAC. Dixie will now enter the Region 18 playoffs in two weeks for the second year in a row. REXBURG, Idaho The Dixie College volleyball team took it on the chin against the seventh-ranked volleyball team in the NJCAA, losing a quick 15-7, 15-11.

15-5 match to the Ricks College Vikings Friday night. Playing what coach Sherry Titus called one of the team's poorest matches of the year, the Lady Rebels could only manage to challenge the Lady Vikings during the second game, tying the score briefly at 9-9. But Ricks regrouped and went on to win the third game handily. The Vikings, who ran their record to 37-5.
