By WOODY ANDERSON WEST HARTFORD The things that seem to be working against the University of Hartford's soccer team now could wind up to be building blocks for a successful season. First, the Hawks will be inexperienced at goalkeeper and at four other positions where freshman have won starting jobs. But according to head coach Allan Wilson, "this freshmen class could potentially be the best class I've ever had." Second, the Hawks begin their toughest schedule ever under Wilson with four straight away games against winning programs. Wilson feels the difficult beginning could mold the team into a solid unit for the home portion of their schedule that finds them home eight out of nine games In sizing up the freshmen, senior tri-captain Mark Ma-dore of Bristol said Wednesday, "these freshmen are much better than we were as freshmen.

They are coming around so fast. "They have lots of enthusiasm and pride." Senior tri-captain Aldo Signorello of Hartford nodded in agreement. "They hustle a lot. They're aggressive." Freshmen who will probably start include Brian Sulli-an of Suff ield, Junior Salmon of Hartford, Mike Ziogas of Bristol, Mike Lenahan of Enfield and Robert Thum of Hamden. ler), universally recognized as a cosmic Casanova.

The Fonz fixes (or rather mixes) him up with Laverne (Penny Marshall). Meanwhile, Mindy's father sics a police officer on Mork. Ana the alien winds up having a sanity hearing in which he demonstrates that earthlings can be nuttier than even a Mork from Ork. If all this sounds ridiculous, rest assured that it is indeed. But it is deliberately so and done with a light flair for fun and fancy that might well appeal to kids.

Genetically, Mork and Mindy" is a spinoff from an episode on "Happy Days," still one of the tube's smash-hits with youngsters. As Mork. comedian Robin Williams gets to do a wide, sometimes amusing range of crazy schticks, characterizations, voices, impressions and wacky sight gags. Among Mork's Orkian habits is his method of drinking tea by absorbing it through his fingers. when he's not talking to plants and flowers, he's eating them.

His language sometimes degenerates into nonsense syllables the strongest of his epithets being something that sounds like "nimnose." At other times he lapses into imitations of voices that he has picked up on telepath-etically from TV. He alternates quickly between Desi Arnez to Shirley Temple. And when he sits on a chair or couch he buries his face in the cushion and sticks his feet in the air, perhaps pointing them toward Ork. He's Col. Clone, a space stooge.

But he's also a puckish yet often accurate outside observer of what fools these mortals be. This seems like a likely hit on ABC's growing kid-vid comedy parade. It airs tonight from 8 to 9 on WTNH-TV Channel 8. By OWEN McN ALLY "Mork and Mindy," an off-the-wall, often silly sci-fi sitcom which debuts tonight on ABC, sports far more snap aid pop than many a bubble gum show aimed primarily at youngsters. Mork (Robin Williams) is a friendly alien, a highly intelligent being who has been dispatched from his home planet Ork to observe our primitive" society here on Earth.

He has been tapped for this less than desirable sociological project because his incorrigible sense of humor has made him a misfit among the land of the Orks. Mork's leader "old laser breath" as he mockingly refers to him is glad to send this intergalactic clone-clown on this fool's errand just to get him out of his hair for awhile. Mork travels the 60 million light years through space in an egg-shell shaped craft. When it lands with a thud, it marks just the first of the many terrible yolks Mork cracks here on Earth. Mork winds up in Boulder, and meets a lovely, 21-year-old earthling named Mindy McConnell (Pam Dawber).

Mindy is charmed by Mork's innocence, bizarre behavior and spacey humor. She agrees to help him pass himself off as an earthling so that he can observe the curious human race. And he in turn agrees to teach her all about his homeland of Ork. Mindy's father (Conrad Janis) becomes upset when he mistakenly thinks she's having an affair with Mork, whom he suspects is a pot-headed hippie. (Actually, Mork's only contact with pot is the one he sometimes wears on his head back home in Ork.) Mork decides he should study the earthlings' ritual of dating, and seeks advice from the Fonz (Henry Wink- Please see Sunday's TV Week Magazine for regular programs during day to 6:00 p.m.

We had more individuals last year." In anticipation of having several freshmen starters, Wilson put the team through a week of triple sessions and then four scrimmage games in preparation for Friday night's opener at Springfield.

Who, you ask, is Slugger White and what is he doing in this article about big time professional golf? 0 138 ALAMO, Calif. (AP) Nancy Lopez, who took last week off because of an ailing shoulder, will be back on the green today trying to regain her putting touch on opening day of the $100,000 Ladies Professional Golf Association tournament. The 21-year-old Lopez, who won five tourneys in a row this summer and tops the tour contingent with $156,947 in winnings, is one of more than 100 women entered in the 72-hole event at Round Hill Country Club. She joined 52 pros Wednesday in a celebrity rtro-am tournament in whicn male amateurs paid $300 each to play.

But she bemoaned her weakened putting ability. "My irons were really good, but I can't seem to read the six or seven-footers," she said. "It's been really frustrating." Challenging Lopez will be Pat Bradley, who will be vying to push her 1978 earnings over $100,000. She now ranks third in prize money with $92,982, and says she vowed early this year to top $100,000. "It is entirely within the realm of possibility that I can pass that magic mark this week," she said, eyeing the $15,000 first prize.

Bradley, 27, said Lopez' problem may be that she is "just too good. She has to learn to stop being pushed into so many appearances. You don't win golf tournaments running all over the country." LPGA commissioner Ray Volpe has said of Lopez: "She's Arnold Palmer and Lee Trevino rolled into one player. She has the sex appeal of Palmer and the charisma of Trevino.

Until the 1977 Texas Open, life on the tour for him was "a thousand dollars here and there." "I have never played badly, but I have never played well," he added. "One of these days, I hope to turn it around.

I'm almost 30 years old and a man only has so miny productive years. And P. haven't exactly worn it outfit here. "ItTnot good mathematics to be spending $700 a week and making $400," he added. "But the people who are sponsoring me are great.

They have faith in me. "I'm working in a five-to-seven year time frame on the tour. After all, you don't have to hit a man on the head too many times for him to realize it is not there." Eight of the PGA's Top Ten 1978 money winners, including No. 2 Bean, Irwin, PGA champion John Mahaf-fey of nearby Kerrville and Masters champion Gary Player, are competing in this year's $200,000 tourney at the Oak Hills Country Club. Wednesday's Pro-Am was rained out' by four-inch deluges that caused flooding in some areas of San Antonio.

Thursday's first round was scheduled to be played if the weather permits. Tournament officials say it is the meet's strongest field since the Texas Open began in 1922. The only Top Ten money winners missing will be No. 1 Tom Watson and No. 3 Jack Nicklaus.

MORK AND MINDY PM Premieres Tonight! Carlton "Slugger" White, an obscure 29-year-old pro from New Smyrna Beach, staggered into last year's Texas Open with a total 1977 winnings of $924.50, needing a fourth-place finish to reach $7,000 and keep his PGA tour card. White captured the fancy of the crowd by reeling off a 3-under-par 67 in the first round and was only a stroke off the pace after 54 holes. He was in the chase the final day before tying with George Archer for fourth lace behind champion rwin.

Barber and Kite. "I was starting to pull for Slugger and I almost forgot about me," Irwin said at the time. White won $6,600 in the eleventh-hour tour stop and kept his PGA card with $524.50 to spare. "That was quite a lot of fun," White said this week as he prepared for today's first round. "I just felt like I had it in me that week." White's position isn't quite as precarious this year.
