Torch remains lit after firebombs SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Olympic torchbearers have carried the symbol of the Games for more than 2,700 years, taken it over steep hills, through cities and to all the continents, but never had one been firebombed until Wednesday. It was not an act that made most South Koreans proud. Many winced or spoke disgustedly of the continuing student protests giving the Olympics a black eye, even if the lighting occurs far from the Olympic sites and doesn’t threaten the athletes or visitors. Sixteen riot troopers were injured in the skirmish, but the torchbearer and accompanying runners weren’t hurt and the flame never went out. The students threw about 50 fire bombs but hit no one. Witnesses said the closest bombs exploded 10 yards from the torch- bearer. The attack at Kyungwon Univer sity, on the outskirts of Seoul, came while thousands of South Koreans, from schoolchildren to adults, proudly rehearsed the colorful opening ceremonies to be held Sat urday in the Olympic Stadium. It came while many in Seoul were celebrating a breakthrough in rela tions with the communist bloc and just before President Roh Tae-woo appealed to the nation to rally be hind the Olympic effort and make it “the most magnificent” ever. To the students in the “Stop Olympic Torch Rally,” the flame is a symbol of the “dictatorial Olympics,” which they claim are being used by the government to impose stricter security, arrest activists and delay unification talks with North Korea. However, unlike the protests that led to a change in the South Korean government last year, the current demonstrations haven’t gained wide spread support. All they’ve done is lead to contro versy, occasional injury and deep embarrassment by the Olympic hosts. Three days before 160 countries send athletes to the opening ceremo nies, South Korea celebrated an agreement to open diplomatic rela tions with Hungary. South Korean Foreign Minister Choi Kwang-soo said new relations with communist Hungary, borne of the Olympics, may be a break through to ties with the Soviet bloc. “We hope this will also provide us a momentum for a better relationship with North Korea," Choi said. A top U.S. general, meanwhile, said he doubted communist North Korea would attempt to disrupt the Olympics. “The border is fairly calm and there appears to be no immediate threat," Gen. Louis C. Menetrey told the Seoul Foreign Correspondents’ Club. Menetrey, commander of U.S. Forces in South Korea, said he be lieved North Korea would not want to suffer the consequences violent acts could bring.

Walker carried nine times on the winning 81-yard touchdown drive as the Cowboys defeated the Phoenix Cardinals 17-14. Dallas ran 24 plays in the fourth period and Walker touched the ball on 17 of those plays, accounting for 88 of the club’s 122 yards. “That’s what I envisioned when 1 decided to put Tony Dorsett on the bench," said Dallas coach Tom Landry. “Herschel can just dominate a game. You can be in perfect posi tion and he will still break a tackle and make a big play.” The loudly objecting 33-year-old Dorsett was traded to Denver so the UH Phillips gets honors after big win HOUSTON (AP) — I louston Cougar receiver Jason Phillips, who led the nation in receiving with 99 catches last season, anticipated crea tive double coverages designed to cut down his receiving opportunities last weekend. Instead, Louisiana Tech treated him just like another receiver and suffered the consequences. Phillips caught 16 passes for 224 yards and two touchdowns as the Cougars got off to a record-popping start with a 60-0 victory. The performance earned Phillips the Southwest Conference Of fensive Player of the Week honor and the Cougars took the national lead in to tal offense. Baylor linebacker Gary Joe Kinne, a 5-11, 227 junior from Mesquite, earned the SWC Defensive Player of the Week honor for his performance in a 27-14 victory over Kansas. “It didn’t appear to me that they tried to key on me,” Phillips said of Louisiana Tech. “They had a lot of young people in their secondary and I think they just tried to run their regular defense and not confuse the young players.” There wasn't much confusion in the Cougars’ offense after a slow start in the first quarter. Fellow receiver James Dixon caught 12 passes for 98 yards and quarterbacks David Dacus and Andre Ware had outstanding games. “We came out the first game and really expected to perform like we did,” Phillips said. “We played ex- ceptionally well the last four games last season so we knew what we could do.” Dacus had trouble getting the Cougars off the ground in the first quarter. "I didn't reallv worry about the first quarter too much," Phillips said. "We just called it first game jitters. That happens to a lot of teams.” Although it was unrealistic to con sider another 99-catch season, Phil lips took aim in that direction in the off-season. 26-year-old Walker could become the Cowboys’ prime offensive weapon. “1 like to carry the ball a lot,” Walker said. "I get into the flow of the game that way.” Walker ran 29 times for 149 yards against the Cardinals. “Ideally, we like to get the ball into his hands 30 to 35 times a game.” Landry said. “Phoenix did a good job of double-teaming Herschel on pass coverage so we just pitched it to him. He’s powerful and always seems to lx* stronger in the fourth quarter than he is in the first quar ter.” Landry did admit he may have stretched Walker to his limit on the 81 -yard drive. " I hat’s the hardest workout he’s had since summer camp,” Landrv said. “I was wondering if he had any spring left in his legs down there.” Walker said he enjoys ijci; hall and dm king behind Ik. pound offensive linemen. “They are young bui learning and they do a grti Walker said. “It’s funtorut them.” Landry said the Co»t- Walker’s team. “I’d buy a ticket just to - guy run," he said. “I would an offensive lineman for Hr All total.
