angrily, when they were told they
Could not play in Sunday’s games or

Several players sped away from
the practice facility, their car tires
Squealing, after a brief meeting, and
3oach Jerry Glanville ordered the
bntire complex cleared of media.
“I looked out in the parking lot

jfoff guard. No one had told them the
-
regular Oilers were coming to the
practice facility.
Glanville said he was not in
formed the regular players would be
arriving and was trying to conduct
practice with the replacement team.
“I was just trying to remove some
of the distractions,” Glanville said.
“Our practice today was horrible,
mainly because of the distractions.”
Offensive lineman Mike Kelly said
the Oilers were told to return Friday
morning.
“I think we’re almost there, but
I’m still a little confused,” Kelly said.
“But hopefully, it’s almost over.”
Oilers quarterback Warren Moon,
the team’s player representative,
said he had been told by the player’s
union to take a vote on ending the
strike.
“We voted to come back and that’s
what we were trying to do today,”
Moon said. “We were under the im
pression that we’d be able to go back
today.”
The Oilers, whose replacement
team is 2-0, hosts the New England
Patriots in the Astrodome Sunday.
“It was kind of hard to concen
trate today because we kept looking
over there to see what was going on,”
replacement running back Andrew
Jackson said.
Oiler linebacker Eugene Seale
said the end of the strike would not
affect the replacement team’s pi
formance Sunday, presumably tn
last game.
“We all are looking forward to the
game, especially since it may be our
last,” Seale said. “I feel it was worth
it.”

From the Associated Press
That loud cheer you heard late
last Saturday afternoon occurred
when Oklahoma finally covered its
3l‘/2-point spread against Texas.
J The question this week is not
whether the No. 1-ranked Sooners
cover a 55-point spread over
finless Kansas State, but how long it
fell take.
j| One quarter? Probably not, since
the record for points in a period is
49 by Houston against Tulsa in 1968
id Davidson, of all teams, against
Furman in 1969.
A half? Perhaps. In that 1968
ime, Houston scored 76 second-
ilf points in crushing Tulsa 100-6.
'Three quarters? For sure.
■Kansas State lost to Division I-AA
Austin Peay, which lost to Division II
Tennessee-Martin, which lost to
Murray State, which lost to Western
|*Kentucky, which lost to Division I
Gardner-Webb . . . Division I of the
NAIA, that is.
Anyway, Kansas State probably
will be looking ahead to Nebraska, so
.. . Oklahoma 77-0.
Last week’s prediction record was
33 right — including three of the
four Upset Specials — 17 wrong and
one tie for a percentage of .660; for
the year, 177-70-4 — .717. Against
the point spread, last week’s score
was 14-21-1—.400; for the season,
74-82-4—.474.

O'Meara
in the lead
at tourney
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.
(AP) — Mark O’Meara, a non
winner on the American tour for
two seasons, shot a 9-under-par
63 Thursday and took a two-snot
lead over J.C. Snead after the
First round of the $600,000 Walt
Disney World Golf Classic.
“The other golf courses are
harder, but I still would have
scored well the way I played,”
said O’Meara, who won four in
ternational titles in 1985 before a
slump-ridden season last year.
O’Meara played Lake Buena
Vista, at 6,706 yards the shortest
and easiest of the three resort
courses used for the first three
rounds of this event.
He made the most of it.
O’Meara did not miss a fairway
and missed only one green in his
bogey-free round. He did not
have a “5” on his card and re
corded nine “3’s”.
“I had my best putting round
of the season, and when you do
that you’re going to score well,”
said O’Meara, who dropped four
putts from 20 feet or more and
made two others from about 15
feet. He one-putted 10 times in
the cool, cloudy weather.
Snead, one day past his 46th
birthday, also had a bogey-free
effort at Lake Buena Vista and
was at 65.
“That’s the first time I’ve ever
really played this course well,”
Snead said.
And that, said Andy Magee, is
a critical factor in this tourna
ment in which the 132 pros play
one round on each of three
courses, each day with a different
three-man amateur team, before
the field is cut for the pros-only
finish Sunday at the Magnolia
course.
