But that was not nearly enough to counter the Bison attack By Lex Hemphill Tribune Sports Writer OGDEN Small college power North Dakota State ruined Weber State's season opener Saturday night by pulverizing the Wildcats, before 12 (162 fans at Wildcat Stadium Veer quarterback Mark Speral cored three touchdowns and passed for two more to lead the Bison to their s ond straight victory over Big Sky Conference opponents. Only three times in Weber s football history has an opposing team scored as many points against the Wildcats as Speral and his mates put on the board Saturday. Weber, which travels to Fresno State next week, got an early 13--0 lead, but then was blown out by the more (itiysiral Bison About the only offensive highlights for Weber after the first six Weber Starts Fast Weber State couldnt have started the season more impressively, as it ran to a lead before the game was six minutes old. But the Wildcats must h9'e expended too much energy doing that because the Bison thoroughly dominated the last 24 minutes of the 49-2- V 13-- 0 half. 13-- 0 VV:' t ' M o ir Hj 44 (1 iA f v yr ; rV i7 o $ i Visitors Scare While the Bison were shutting down the Weber offense, their offense ran through Weber at will. Speral ran the veer to perfection, leading the Bison to a 229 to 108 advantage in total yards at the half North Dakota State erased Weber's Tribune Wire Services Notre Dame coach Dan Devine says he forgot that field goals win football games. Missouris Warren Powers didnt Thus, the Tigers Jeff Rrockhaus kicked a field goal with 12.50 to play unSaturday to give the derdog Missouri team a 0 victory over No. Notre Dame at South Bend, Ind. "I can be critical of myself for not realizing that field goals win games, Devine said. The idea is to win. Of course, our one field goal attempt was not a range classic, but we were in field-goseveral times when we went for it. d Q K 4 quarter. 3-- But youve got to give Missouri credit for coming up with the big plav.v The defense they had been giving us on fourth down was the same as the one they used on third down and we should have been able to handle, it. But credit the fine play of the Missouri defense." Flustered by heat and a Missouri defense that repeatedly refused to yield, the Irish blew numerous scoring chances in the second half. In U.S. Ojkmi Finale Chris Looks Up to Sliriver Unique Situation Evert will find herself in a unique situation on Sunday, one that she already has coped with mentally. Seven years ago, when she was 16, she became the youngest woman ever to reach the semifinals of the Open. Now, in Shriver, shes meeting the girl who surpassed that record by seven months, and then did Chris even one better by upsetting No. 1 seed Martina Navratilova to reach the final. "Pam is six inches bigger than I am and she's .stronger, Evert rationalized Saturday after completing a victory over Wendy Turnbull that lifted her into the final. I wont be thinking about her 6-- 0 6-- Ill be thinking about her height. "Pam is not really predictable She doesn't hit the backhand volley down the line ninety percent of the time. She mixes it up and shes a tough play er. It was different for her in the quarterfinals playing Tracy Austin, who is only 15 and a short Evert said. "When I play Tracy she looks so fragile, like she wouldn't hurt a fly. With Tracy I was a nervous wreck, but I think it helped me." Chns takes comfort from the fact her game is similar to Austins, with both featuring superb groundstrukes. Tracy has beaten Shriver all nine times theyve played, while Evert has won all three meetings with Austin. Now a Mature 23 Evert, now a mature 23 (and facing such questions as are you getting old?), has mixed emotions about not getting another chance at Navratilova, who beat her in the Wimbledon final. Shriver, a veteran of a mere nine months in big time competition, has adopted the same "1 have nothing to lose attitude that served so well in Fridays victory over Navratilova. 28-1- off a gam and pass from Phil Bradley to move into Notre Dame territory.

"We still have a lot of work to do, even though I couldnt tell a loi about either team because of the field conditions. said Donahue, who is beginning his third season as the Bruins head coach. Just the Beginning "This is just the beginning of the season. I think both Washington and UCLA are going to have an effect" on the Pacifie-1- 0 Conference race, Donahue said. Washington Coach Don James, voted national Coach of the Year last season when he guided the Huskies to their first Rose Bowl appearance in 14 seasons, credited defense with keeping his club in the game. "I thought our defense played very well, said James, in his fourth season at Washington. They held a team with three great running backs to only three points. "I told them (Washington players) it was a miserable day and weve just got to correct our mistakes, James added. "We got beat in the kicking game and that hasnt happened very much. Easley, a sophomore free safety, blocked Aaron Wilsons punt from the end zone midway in the second period and Baggott was the first of a host of Bruins to land on the ball and give UCLA a 16-- 0 lead. Defensive tackle Billy Don Jackson dropped Husky loss at the quarterback Tom Porras for an Washington 8, setting up fourth down and forcing Wilson to kick from the end zone.
