The SWC’s non-conference mark is 14-13-1. “Arkansas is my lucky game,” Mc Williams said after the upset of the Razorbacks. "It’s fortunate we have an open date this next week. It will give us a chance to get over over our yelling and screaming.” Arkansas Coach Ken Hatfield un derstandably was in shock. “I’m sick and hurt,” Hatfield said. “But I believe this team will stick to gether and we will bounce back.” Texas, generally picked for a sec ond division finish, sports an unble mished 2-0 ledger in SWC play.

Firing an 80-yard scoring pass on the first play from scrimmage, Mc Pherson figured in four more touch downs as the 13th-ranked Orange men stunned the lOth-ranked Nittany Lions 48-21 Saturday. “When I saw the cornerback fall, I knew it was bombs away,” said Mc Pherson, who connected with Rob Moore after a Penn State defender fell” down. “Once we jumped ahead, things just snowballed.” Overall, McPherson passed for three touchowns and ran for two while amassing 375 yards in total of fense as Syracuse beat Penn State for the first time since 1970.

Otherwise, games went according to form in college football Saturday. No. 1 Oldahoma, a nine-touch- down favorite, routed Kansas State 59-10, the 11th straight loss for the Wildcats.

(AP) — PGA champion Larry Nelson came from six shots off the pace with a 63 and scored a one-stroke victory Sunday in the Walt Disney World Golf Classic. “Maybe my best competitive round,” Nelson said. “Certainly my best competitive round on Sunday. “To shoot 63 when you have to do it, that’s really something,” said Nel son, who put a birdie-birdie finish on his 9-under-par effort. Nelson, 40, posted his 20-under- par total of 268 almost an hour ahead of the other contenders. He was one shot ahead of Morris Ha- talsky and Mark O’Meara at that time. “I’ve done all I can do,” he said. “It’s up to them now.” They couldn’t catch him. First, Hatalsky had a 15-foot bir die putt on the 18th to tie and force a playoff. But he missed it. “One more bullet to dodge,” Nel son said. Then it was O’Meara, who led through the first two rounds. He put his approach about 25 feet from the flag on the 18th. “I guess if I hear a big roar, I know I’ve got to go back out there,” Nelson said from his vantage point in the press tent. There was no roar. Moments later, a PGA Tour official approach Nelson, held out his hand and said “Congratulations.” “Can you imagine that? You’re in the press tent and you find out you won the golf tournament when someone walks up and shakes your hand,” Nelson said. The victory was the ninth of his career and second this season. It was worth $108,000 from the total purse of $600,000 and pushed Nelson’s earnings for the year to $437,492, by far the largest of his 14-year career. Hatalsky and O’Meara tied for second at 269, 19 under H single stroke back. HataN closing 67 and O’Meara ■ the Magnolia course ar^f World.
