Boals, Andersen shine in scrimmage VERMILLION, S.D. Wes Boals rushed for 74 yards and two touchdowns and Chad Andersen passed for 209 yards and two more TDs as South Dakota wound up spring football drills with a 36-7 Red win over White in the annual spring scrimmage. Boals scored his touchdowns on runs of two and seven yards, while Andersen threw 70-yard scoring passes to Dave Elle and Ken Gardner. The Red team, which was composed of members of the first offensive and defensive units, held the White (second units) to minus-12 yards rushing. Andersen, who was 9-for-13 passing, accounted for 209 of his team's 248 aerial yards, more than half on the two TD strikes.

White's touchdown came on Mark Sohren's 61-yard pass to Dan Scholten. Sohren, a freshman, was 6-for-9 passing for 115 yards. Fellow freshman Jason Surer was 5-for-14 for 81 yards. i Aim t- tji i' Nebraska frosh QB has big day LINCOLN (AP) Freshman quarterback Mike Grant ran for 157 yards in Saturday's annual spring game and Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne said the past three weeks of practice have shown his 1989 team could be "very good" or "fairly average." Grant, the third-string quarterback, rambled for 111 of his game-high yards in the third quarter as the White squad, made up of reserves, defeated the Red squad 40-28 in the 40th annual spring contest. Osborne said junior quarterback Gerry Gdowski also played well and will enter the fall as the Cornhuskers No.

1 signal-caller. He has been locked in a battle for that job with sophomore Mickey Joseph. Top I-back Ken Clark played briefly in the game, but left because of a nagging groin injury after gaining 38 yards on eight carries. Osborne said following the scrimmage before 25,006 fans at Memorial Stadium he was satisfied with his team's progress this spring. "We're still not a finished product," he said.

"Obviously we made some mistakes today, but I think we have some talent. "I think we found some players and we ought to have a good football team. How good that is I don't know. We could be very good and we could be fairly average," Osborne said. The Red team, made up largely of starters, jumped ahead 14-0, but the Whites tied the game at the half 21-21 and rallied to victory behind Grant in the second half.

Osborne said he was a bit disappointed that his top defense was unable to shut down the second-unit offense. But he said defensive formations were limited in the scrimmage and blitzing and stunting were not allowed. "You kind of hate to see the No. 2 offense take off and go 60, 70, 80 yards against the No. 1 defense, no matter how they line up," Osborne said.

The coach said he also expects more offensive production when top players like I-back Terry Rodgers and receiver Nate Turner return to the team in the fall after recovering from injuries. The offenses also were limited Saturday as no new plays were shown during the scrimmage for fear that scouts were present. "The disappointing thing offensively was the interceptions," Osborne said. "We had six in the first half, that was too many. We had several times when they threw it up for grabs.

They hadn't done that all spring. "But that also points up the fact we have some quick kids in that secondary. I'm pleased with our secondary, though there were times when people ran right through it today," he said. Four players suffered major injuries in the game. Kicker Tom Janky and I-back Troy Uhlir each suffered knee injuries and are likely to undergo major surgery and miss the fall season, Osborne said.

Linebacker Dan Svelha suffered a fractured fibula and I-back Scott Baldwin dislocated his elbow. Both of those players should be back with the team in the fall, Osborne said. WCHA accepts St. Cloud MADISON, Wis. (AP) St.

"This is the greatest day in Villanova women's track history," he said. "We went out to win all three. You're looking at the greatest (women's) distance runners in America.

"And everybody (top teams) was here. Nobody stayed home," he said. Crawford said of her team's great performances, "these young ladies really did a job this weekend. We've got a lot of confidence in them. They're running well as a team.

"They wanted to come here and test themselves and they did the job." Leslie Hardison, the leadoff runner in Texas' third victory, the 800, said, "we found out how mentally tough we can be. If you can get through the Penn Relays you can get through anything." Texas, with Hardison, Tamela Saldana, Barbara Flowers, and Carlette Guidry, won the 800 Saturday in 1:34.02 over North Carolina, 1:36.44. The Longhorn women came back to take the 1,600 meters in 3:34.14. Saldana, Flowers, Hardison and Guidry outran North Carolina, 3:35.34.

With Quentin Howe, Mike Seeger, Bruce Harris and Paul PHILADELPHIA (AP) Anchor Joe Falcon led Arkansas to a victory in the relay and a meet double, but Texas and Villanova women stole the show Saturday at the 95th annual Penn Relays. Texas, directed by U.S. Olympic team Coach Terry Crawford, became the first women's team to win four relays in one weekend, taking the 400, 800, 1,600 and sprint medley. The best any women's team did previously in the Penn Relays was three victories by Tennessee in 1984 and Arizona State last year. The women became an integral part of the meet in 1977.

The Villanova runners made off with the distance medley, 6,000 and 3,200, running away with each event. Falcon's strong stretch finish in the 6,000 enabled the Razorbacks to beat Texas and Providence in 15:16.26, the slowest time in the event in 14 years. He also led Arkansas to victory Friday in the distance medley in world's best time. The three-day meet ended under cloudy skies and intermittent rain which at times was heavy on the artificial surface. In the men's 6,000, Texas anchor Greg Fuller caught a tiring Providence anchor, Frank Conway, to edge the Friars for second place.

Texas and Providence ran in 15: 16.84. The Razorbacks' victory in the 6,000 was their fifth straight here and sixth in the last seven years here. The Villanova women, with Michelle DiMuro, Vicki Huber, Kim Certin and Michelle Bennett, won the Rowbothan handling the baton, Villanova ran in 7:20.15. They beat Yale (7:22.51) with Georgetown third in 7: 23.32. George Mason, with Corey Cokes, Ernest Barrett, Shawn Vass and Patrick O'Connor, won the 1,600 relay in 3: 06.22.

Arkansas lost its bid for a triple in the 3,200, finishing sixth. Falcon ran a second leg and for the first time ever lost a race at Penn. he was six for six. Mount St. Mary's, which lost to Arkansas in the distance medley, came back to win the sprint medley in 3:18.04, the Mounts' first victory ever at the Penn Relays.

Lincoln in 3:18.59 was second and Pittsburgh (3:18.75) third. Peter Rono, a Kenyan who won the 1,500 meter gold in the Seoul Olympics, ran the 800 anchor for Mount St.Mary's. He followed Dave Lishebo, Todd Steele and Malcolm Poole. The winning time also was the slowest in the event in 14 years. In the 6,000, Falcon started the anchor leg three meters in front of Providence's Conway with Texas' Fuller a stride back in third.

Conway, a 3:56 miler, made a big move heading into the first turn and built a 10 meter lead through the backstretch. But Falcon, running easily in second, cut the margin to five as the field reached the stretch, and with 40 meters to go, passed Conway. He went on to win by at least eight meters. Falcon said he wasn't concerned when Conway made his big move. "When he (Conway) made his move he was all out," Falcon said.

"I wasn't all out. I figured I'd catch him within the last 200 meters and I did." Arkansas Coach John McDonnell wasn't as confident. "When Conway opened that lead he looked awfully good. I thought maybe Joe had given him too much real estate. "But then, halfway around the turn (out of the backstretch) I knew he'd get him.

His (Conway's) legs were going out from under him." Houston, with Leroy Burrell making up five meters on the anchor leg, in the 400 to Clyde Duncan their third runner. Horatio Porter, Andrew Smith, Greg Sholars and Raymond Stewart gave TCU its third win in the event in four years. Pittsburgh's team of Brett Shields, Chip Burton, Elbert Ellis and Eric Cannon, won the 480 yard shuttle hurdles in 56.1, with Tennessee second at 56.2. Earlier, Cannon won the 110 meter high hurdles in 13.69, after favorite Pat McGhee of Iowa and Howard's John Branch, winner of the 400 intermediate hurdles Friday, were disqualified for false starts. Houston's Joe DeLoach took the 100 meter dash in 10:30.

Jon Shelton of Texas took the high jump at 7-2'4, Houston's Burrell the 100 in 10:32, Tom Nohilly of Florida the steeplechase in 8:38.94, Mark Stahr of the New York Pioneers the mile in 4:04.33, and John Finney of Maryland the pole vault with Clemson's Lisa Dillard edged Hampton's Vivienne Spence in the women's 100 meters. Dillard ran in 11.80 and Spence, 11.81. Delthea Quarles of Liberty, N.C., captured the womens' 100 high hurdles in 13.81, edging Kim Austin of North Carolina, both clocked in 13.81.

Texas' Patrik Boden from Sweden took the javelin with a meet record toss of 267-8. He broke the mark of 253-3 set by Dag Wennlund of Texas in 1986. Patrik's distance is the best in the United States this year. across the finish line a distant 13.45 seconds ahead of road racer Scott Pruett, the only other driver who did not pit for tires during the 75-lap event at Pennsylvania International Raceway. Pruett, too, was surprised by his finishing spot.

"I thought I was seventh or eighth," he said. The race on the one-mile tri-oval was the first for IROC on this track and on any oval-type track shorter, than 1.5 miles. Rusty Wallace, who won the series opener in February at Daytona International Speedway, becoming the first driver in IKOC history to go from last to first, finished third. Wallace, who started last in the 12-car field on the basis of a reverse order of the first-race finish, did it again Saturday, slicing through the field to take the lead on lap 37. But, like A.J.

Foyt and Pruett, who also led the race, his tires eventually wore badly. Wallace and Foyt both pitted for fresh rubber, costing them a lap, while Pruett stayed on the track and nearly lost second place at the end as he finished with a deflating left rear tire. NAZARETH, Pa. (AP) Danny Sullivan has won a lot of races, but Saturday's second round of the International Race of Champions was the first he has won without knowing the checkered flag was for him. "I didn't know after race where I finished," Sullivan said.

"I drove right past Victory Circle. I figured I was in the top three or four, but I didn't know I had won until my mechanic, Richie (Lubenstein), got in the car with me. "I said, 'How'd we and he said, 'You The reason for the confusion was a series of cut and worn tires that caused an unusual flurry of pit In IROC races, no pit stopped are necessary and any stop is usually very costly. And Sullivan didn't escape the tire problems entirely. "The only time I ran hard was from about 30 laps from the end until about 10 laps from the end," he said.

"Then I really started to get a vibration in my right rear and I thought 'Oh no. I've used up my tires about 10 laps early."
