SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 29. 1937' 48 SPORTS THE SUN COLLEGE FOOTBALL Arizona pleased with tie against rival Arizona St. National 7 if mi t'v 3 TEMPE, Ariz. First-year Arizona coach Dick Tomey said yesterday's Pacific-10 Conference 24-24 tie against archrival Arizona State was "a moral victory." Arizona State coach John Cooper had a different view.

"A tie Is like kissing your sister only If she's good looking," Cooper said. "They might be celebrating in the other locker room, but I can tell you our players are taking it as a heartbreaking loss. It's hard to take because we thought we had it won. But the lesson we learned is the game's not over until it's over." Gary Coston's third field goal of the game a 30-yarder with two seconds remaining gave Arizona (4-4-3, 2-2-1) the tie. The field goal was set up when Arizona State (6-4-1.

3-3-1) punter Mike Schuh. who had flawlessly handled 161 previous snaps in his career, fumbled a snap with 13 seconds left and Arizona recovered at the Sun Devils' 25. The ball was moved half the distance to the goal on a penalty since Schuh had unsuccessfully tried to kick the ball forward while It was on the ground during the bizarre play. Coston made his field goal two plays later. The Sun Devils, who haven't beaten the Wildcats since 1981, took a 24-21 lead on Alan Zendejas' 40-yard field goal with 2:45 left.

Arizona State cornerback Eric Allen apparently sealed the victory with an interception at the Sun Devils' 30 with 1:21 left. But the Arizona defense held and forced the Sun Devils into the punting situation. "I don't like ties, but we'll take this one. It's a moral victory if nothing else," Tomey said. "This is our third tie this year and I wish we could play them all off.

But this tie is the best of them." Arkansas 43, N. Mexico 25 LITTLE ROCK, Ark. James Rouse, sidelined in the first quarter with a stomach disorder, came back In the second half to score three touchdowns and spark Arkansas over New Mexico in a non-conference game. Rouse, who had a 42-yard touchdown on one of his three carries in the opening minutes, wound up with 19 carries for 219 yards the third best in Arkansas history. Arkansas (8-3) finishes the regular season against Hawaii and then meets Georgia in the Liberty Bowl Dec.

A fumbled kickoff return by Vanderbilt in the third quarter set up William Howard's 6-yard scoring run to put Tennessee ahead, and the 16th-ranked Volunteers (9-2-1, 4-1-1) overcame a 25-point deficit to edge the Commodores (4-7, 1-5) in a Southeastern Conference game. "There were as many big plays In this game, and as big a comeback as I can remember," said Tennessee coach Johnny Majors. "It went right down to the wire.

Neither team deserved to lose today, but since one had to, I'm glad It wasn't Tennessee. Now that the season is over, I can say that this team has played some of the best football I've ever been around." The Volunteers also scored on a pass from Jeff Francis to Terence Cleveland, touchdown runs by Reggie Cobb and Keith Davis, and three field goals by Phil Reich. For the Commodores, quarterback Eric Jones scored on runs of 1, 1 and 10 yards and threw two scoring passes to flanker Carl Parker. "I've been a head coach for seven years, and we've won more at other places, but we've never had one team fight like this one," said Vanderbilt coach Watson Brown. "In a game like this you can't point to any one play.

There were a lot of big plays in this game. I'm disappointed. We did everything we could to win."

Six years without a victory over an archrival seems like an eternity to a college football coach, and Florida State's Bobby Bowden felt the added pressure of being a heavy favorite against Florida. "I think they would have had the real nooses up this time in Tallahassee the pure rope if we'd lost this game," Bowden said.

But Florida State fans can put the rope away. Derek Schmidt kicked four field goals, and Dayne Williams scored twice on 1-yard runs to lead the third-ranked Seminoles to a 28-14 victory yesterday. "The hardest thing about the whole thing was breaking the drought," said Bowden, whose team hadn't beaten Florida since 1980. "I've never had a psychological thing, or whatever it is, attached to a series in my life. Their advantage stood at six in a row, and it was getting away from us." The victory was Bowden's 100th as coach at Florida State, and the Seminoles, 10-1 heading into the Fiesta Bowl against Nebraska, stayed in the race for the national championship before a crowd of 74,613 at Florida Field.

Bowden, however, preferred to focus on the events of the day, not what might unfold in the next few weeks in the battle for No. 1 "I really don't care much," Bowden said of the national championship. "If we take care of our knitting and it happens, it happens. Right now, 10-1 means more to me." The lone blemish on Florida State's record is a 26-25 loss to second-ranked Miami, which will play top-ranked Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. Bowden's record as Seminoles' coach is 100-37-3 in 12 seasons, including a 5-7 mark 'against Florida.

Schmidt, the National Collegiate Athletic Association's all-time leading scorer in Division kicked field goals of 23, 53 and 37 yards, as Florida State fought back from a 14-3 deficit. Williams' first touchdown capped a 41 -yard drive after a Florida punt and put the Seminoles ahead 18-14 with 4:50 remaining in the third quarter. Edgar Bennett's two-point conversion run made it 20-14, and Danny McManus completed a two-point pass to Herb Gainer after Williams scored on another 1-yard run with 10:36 left in the game. "I did a lot of talking to our kids last night and this morning about adversity," Bowden said. "We've won every game early this year, except Thursday Baker 13, DAYTON, Ohio (AP) Dayton coach Mike Kelly thought the second half of the Flyers National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III playoff game with top-ranked Augustana College would never end.

"You can talk about the last seconds all you want, but the whole second half was long for me," Kelly said after the Flyers ended Augustana's 60-game unbeaten streak yesterday with a 38-36 victory. "Instead of 40, 1 feel 65 right now." Dave Jones rushed for 2 1 9 yards and three touchdowns as Dayton rolled to an early 17-point lead and then held on to end the Vikings' hopes for a fifth straight title. The win moved the Flyers (10-2) into the national semifinals. Augustana (1 1-1) of Rock Island, 111., entered the game with a 59-0-1 mark since a loss to West Georgia In the 1982 Stagg Bowl for the Division 111 title. However, Kelly said the Flyers Top 20 for Miami.

Our team really hadn't faced being down." Florida, which got 100 yards rushing from freshman Emmitt Smith, finished the regular season with a 6-5 record for the second straight year. The Gators will play UCLA in the Aloha Bowl on Christmas Day. Smith, who carried 20 times, scored touchdowns on runs of 5 and 4 yards within a 2:26 span of the first half as Florida took advantage of an interception and Huey Richardson's blocked punt to take a 14-3 lead five seconds into the second period. Florida State took charge In the second quarter, though, abandoning the pass for a powerful running game that produced 279 yards and two 100-yard runners. Sammie Smith finished with 116 yards on 17 carries, and backup tailback Dexter Carter gained 111 on 19 attempts for the Seminoles.

"I hoped they would keep throwing the football, but they didn't," Florida coach Galen Hall said. "They started hammering away and hammering away and started to control the ball on the ground. That was one of our fears." Fla.

The offensive line played excellent football, and Keith Jones had a superior Osborne admitted he didn't know how his team would respond after last week's loss to Oklahoma. "We were beaten up both physically and mentally early in the week, and we were playing a team that obviously had a lot invested in this game," he said. "Colorado had approached this game as if It was its bowl game.

This was probably the toughest psychological situation I've been in with a football team in 15 years. It's a testimony to the character of our players that they came back the waj they did." The Huskers, who generated 419 yards on the ground, suffered turnovers on their first two possessions, then scored on their next two series to take a 10 0 halftime lead. They squandered another opportunity just before the half when they allowed time to expire while at the Colorado 1. "The way they ran the ball and blocked was old-fashioned Nebraska football, that's all it was," said Colorado coach Bill McCartney. "Nebraska is a great team.

I don't think he proved it today. We put something on him.

Reporters asked Brown whether the performance will hurt his chances of winning the Heisman Trophy. "It's not for me to say," Brown said. "If you guys say it did, it did. If playing one bad game a year affects my chances for the Heisman, so be it." When asked to comment on Brown's performance, Holtz said, "We lost." It was Miami's 31st consecutive regular-season victory and gave the Hurricanes a 10-0 record. They finish against eighth-ranked South Carolina next week and then meet No.
