(AP) — It looked more like a track meet than a foot ball game and the records show that the 17th-ranked Houston Cougars did all the running. Houston amassed 744 yards in to tal offense and had 1,046 yards in ball advacement in beating Arizona State 36-7 in a non-conference game here Saturday night. The total offense figure was a Southwest Conference record and the most ever allowed in Arizona State’s 92-year football history. It still was 49 yards shy of Hous ton’s school-record, single-game mark of 793 yards set against Idaho on Nov. 16, 1968 when the Cougars played as independents. Junior quarterback Andre Ware completed 40 of 68 passes for 497 yards — all school records — while junior superback Chuck Weath- erspoon rushed for 123 yards on 11 carries, returned eight punts for 152 yards including a 58-yard touch down and also scored on a 32-yard run. Houston won despite having seven turnovers and 23 penalties for 236 yards. The penalty totals were school records and just one penalty and two yards shy of tying the all- time NCAA marks. The Cougars had more penalty yards than Arizona State had in total offense (145). “We had a lot of good plays and a lot of big plays. But we also had a lot of penalties,” said Cougars coach Jack Pardee. “Our (run-and-shoot) offense is supposed to be a low-turn over offense. But we had a long lay off— 21 days between games — and that was a factor. We’re just glad to get out of here with a win.” Houston, idle since beating Ne- vada-Las Vegas 69-0 in the Sept. 2 season opener, had lost its last five games against the Sun Devils and hadn’t won in Tempe since 1952. But the Cougars still built a 19-7 halftime lead, outgaining Arizona State 414-32 in total yardage. Ware hit on 24 of 41 passes for 310 yards in the first half, finding Verlond Brown on a 2-yard touch down pass with 9:14 remaining in the first quarter and Emmanuel Hazard on an 8-yard scoring strike 9:55 before halftime. Weatherspoon’s 32-yard TD run came with 7:22 left in the half. He scored on a punt return with 12:07 remaining in the game before backup quarterback David Klingler hit Paul Smith with a 77-yard scoring bomb with 4:08 left. Roman Anderson kicked a 36- yard field goal with 2:31 to play to complete the Cougars’ scoring. They could have had more, but lost three fumbles and missed both an extra point and a 31-yard field goal. Ware had a two-point conversion pass batted away and was inter cepted four times — at the Arizona 5-yard line, at the 1-yard line and twice in the Sun Devil end zone. Free safety Nathan LaDuke had three of the interceptions. Houston’s “Mad Dog” defense in tercepted Arizona State starter Kurt Lasher three times and backup Bobby Valdez twice with free safety Chris Ellison getting two of them. “I didn’t perform well and the of fense didn’t perform well,” said Lasher, a redshirt freshman who was 7-of-20 for 90 yards in his first ca reer start and threw a 3-yard touch down pass to Scott Veach with 2:03 remaining in the first quarter. “We moved the ball against them a couple time and then self-destructed with sacks and interceptions.” “We had no rhythm in the run ning game or passing game,” said Sun Devil coach Larry Marmie. “Our defense was on the field way too long. Their big plays killed us all night and it seemed they all came on third-and-long situations. “Ware did a fantastic job of exec uting their offense. When we did get pressure on him, he was able to exe cute and roll. He is a very talented athlete.” Ware’s previous school records were 39 completions and 471 yards on Nov. 26, 1988 against Rice and 62 attempts vs. Baylor on Oct. 3, 1987. The yardage and completion to tals also set new SWC records while the attempts were one shy of Chuck Hixson’s conference mark. Stewart gets third 20-game seasoi It also was the most attempts, completions and passing yardage ever against Arizona State. “The records don’t say much when you throw four interceptions. I played like a freshman,” Ware said. “We really couldn’t get going at any time in the game. Turnovers and pe nalties stopped us. I’ve never seen a game with so many penalties in my life.” “We don’t do anything part way,” Pardee said. “We go all out, but we don’t need to go all out on penalties. Our guys get fired up. They play hard and emotional. But sometimes, they don’t have their heads on right.” ap-dn-09-24-89 1432cdt MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Dave Stewart was so excited about his third straight 20-win season that he almost forgot about an accomplish ment that only 3'/2 years ago seemed impossible. “One hundred wins. Wow,” the Oakland Athletics’ ace right-hander said after beating the Minnesota Twins 5-2 Friday, becoming the only pitcher in the 1980s to post three consecutive 20-win seasons. Baltimore’s Jim Palmer was the last to do it, winning 20 four straight times from 1975-78. The Oakland record is four in a row by Catfish Hunter from 1971-74 and the orga nization record is seven straight by Lefty Grove of the Philadelphia A’s from 1927-33. Stewart accepted postgame con gratulations from his teammates and plaudits from his manager. He an swered questions from the media and nominated himself for the American League Cy Young Award. And then he remembered that he had done more than win 20 games again. “A hundred wins, when I think about guys like Don Sutton, Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson and Tom Seaver, don’t seem like that many,” Stewart said. “But four years ago, 100 seemed like a whole lot of wins.” Four years ago, he was a minor footnote in baseball history, traded Sept. 13, 1985, from the Texas Rangers to the Philadelphia Phillies for a guy named Rich Surhoff. He made four undistinguished re lief appearances with the Phillies British boxing bout stopped by mum Sundberg honored by Rangers day after he announces baseball retirement ARLINGTON (AP) — The Texas Rangers are creating an annual com munity achievement award in honor of Jim Sundberg and have an nounced that the veteran catcher was selected as the first winner.

Team officials announced the award on Sunday, the day Sundberg chose to retire as a player after 16 major league seasons. He was hon ored Sunday afternoon with a “Jim Each year, the award will be given to a member of the Rangers organi zation who has demonstrated out standing achievement both on the field and in the community. “There is no more fitting person for whom to name this award than Jim Sundberg,” said Rangers Presi dent Mike Stone. “We feel this is a very appropriate way to recognize those members of our organization who have given their time in realiz ing this pursuit.” Sundberg, who will not accom pany the Rangers on their final road trip of the year, was presented with several gifts from the team and indi vidual players. LONDON (AP) — A mother did with her shoe what her son couldn’t do with his fists: beat up his oppo nent in the ring in one of boxing’s most bizarre bouts. It happened Thursday night at the Guildhall in the southern En glish town of Southampton. Tony Wilson was on the ropes. Steve McCarthy had knocked him to the canvas for an eight count, and it looked like Wilson might not survive the third round. But that’s where the mother came clamber into the ring. She was wav ing this high-heeled shoe over her head.” And with that spiked heel Minna Wilson clobbered McCarthy, open ing up a blood-gushing wound that required hospital treatment and left McCarthy unwilling to continue. When McCarthy left the ring, it gave her son the decision and outraged the fans in McCarthy’s hometown. furious at the referee’s decision.) son escaped to a dressing room.s tered by his trainer and raai Jimmy Tibbs. “This little old lady came from about 10 rows back,” observer Chris Skudder told the mass-circulation Sun newspaper. “She managed to get through the security men and “The first thing 1 saw (after the knockdown) was my Mum in the ring and then everything went wild,” Wilson said. While Mrs. Wilson was escorted away by ushers, her son, from Wol verhampton in central England, was kicked and punched by the crowd, Extra police were sent in trouble flared, but there werenol rests and no reports of injuries.
