Kentucky won its own version of the Orange Bowl with a 17-12 victory over archrival Tennessee here Saturday afternoon. George Adams ran for 110 yards on 30 carries and scored two touchdowns, but it was kicker Joe Wor-ley's 34-yard field goal with 2:09 left that ultimately put the game out of Tennessee's reach. Now it's on to a real bowl for Kentucky the Hall of Fame Bowl against Wisconsin, at Birmingham, on Dec. 29.

Both Kentucky and Tennessee already were unofficially bowl-bound going into the contest UT will play Maryland in the Sun Bowl but neither team tried to coast through Saturday. The stakes were high enough. Kentucky, 8-3 overall and 3-3 in the Southeastern Conference, won the traditional beer barrel that goes to the game's victor, and improved its record to 48-23-9 against the oft-favored Vols. Kentucky won here for the first time since 1976. "This is the Orange Bowl for us," said UK defensive tackle Jerry Reese, who had reason to boast with nine tackles including eight solos and two quarterback sacks.

"Now I can go home, drive to Tennessee in five minutes and talk about Kentucky, and the people there can't say anything about it," said Reese, a graduate of Christian County High School. Kentucky led first and wouldn't let itself get caught. 2nd-half surge lifts Panthers By Steve Vied Messenger-Inquirer Kentucky Wesleyan's time-proven formula of concentrating on the second half paid off again Saturday night as the Panthers turned a close game into a rout with a 86-67 victory over Tennessee Wesleyan. Or perhaps it wasn't really that close, even though KWC led by only four points, 38-34, at the half. It is the norm for the Panthers under coach Mike Pollio to reveal only a portion of themselves in the first half, then turn vicious in the second half.

Their performance Saturday night followed that script to the letter.

Brown Taclncallouanont "I've always said we coach for the second half," said Pollio. "We feel we're in better condition than our opponents. We feel we don't want to get anybody in foul trouble, so anybody with two fouls we take them out of the game. We felt our press would be effective, but we don't want to show everything in the first half. We showed it once or twice to get an idea then we came back and really pressed in the second half." At the start of the second half, Wesleyan clamped a full-court press on the visiting Bulldogs, complete with double-teaming traps on the in-bound play and ball-denial up the floor.

It caused a rash of Tennessee Wesleyan turnovers, and after only one minute and 58 seconds had passed, the Bulldogs were yelling for a timeout, having been out-See KWC 1 0B Bowl bid is proof of Wildcats' revival KENTUCKY 17, TENNESSEE 12 Kentucky 7. .0. .7. .3 17 UK Adams 2 run (Woney kick) UT FG Rsvsiz 37 UTFG Rsvsiz 38 UK Adams 1 run (Worley kick) UT Swanson 11 pass Irani Robinson (run laded) UK FG Worley 34 A 83.791 UK UT Fir downs 18 24 Rushse-yards 44-128 43-200 Passingyaros 170 204 Retumyaro 33 37 31-18-1 28-17-2 Punts S-47 2-58 FimWas-kwl 1-0 3-2 PsnaHss-yarda 8-85 7-71 Tims of Possession 30:47 28:13 tMMVIDUAL STATISTICS RUSHING Kentucky.

Leading 17-12, Kentucky held off Tennessee's last-ditch attempt to win. Time ran out with the Vols needing just one more play. Worlev kicked a 34-vard field goal with 2:09 to go to give Kentucky a five-point lead. Beginning at its own 11, Tennessee marched downfield after Kentucky seemingly had the Vols boxed in with a third-and-18 at the UT 3. But a pair of passes from Tony Robinson to Tim McGee gave Tennessee a first down See UK3B Cheers.

"We're having the eighth annual Hall of Fame Bowl at 7 o'clock Central Standard Time, December "We'll come," a Kentuckian broke in. Cheers. "At 6 o'clock there's going to be a very important announcement from the University of Wisconsin. "Hssss." And so it went. Another bowl official spoke of Kentucky's "guts and stamina" as the game teetered in the final moments and, like a proud uncle, mentioned how proud he was of the Wildcats.

Kentucky was then See SUWANSK1 1 0B biggest lead, 63-48, on Barry Sumpt-er's layup. Another Indiana freshman, Brian Sloan, hit two goals to keep Indiana close late in the contest. Louisville shot 48 percent from the field to Indiana's 42. Forrest made six of nine shots from the field and Wagner seven of 18. Alford made seven of 16 from the floor.

Forrest and Thompson paced Louisville in rebounds with six apiece, while Giomi topped the Hoosiers with seven.

Associated Press Oklahoma's 24-14 triumph over Oklahoma State boosted the Sooners into the Orange Bowl Saturday as bowl invitations officially were extended. The second-ranked Sooners, 9-1-1, will play Washington, 10-1 and runner-up in the Pacific 10 to Southern California. Top-ranked Brigham Young will make its postseason appearance in the Holiday Bowl. The Cougars, headed to their seventh consecutive Holiday Bowl after they won the Western Athletic Conference, will Kentucky's post-game locker-room scene had a revival's overtones. How fitting it was.

In the three years Jerry Claiborne has coached Kentucky, the Wildcats have become a revived program. From 0-10-1 his first year to 6-5-1 last year and a trip to the Hall of Fame Bowl, to 8-3 this year after a 17-12 win over Tennessee here Saturday. And another trip to a bowl. "Hall of Fame, Hall of Fame, Hall of Fame," the Kentucky players shouted in unison as they huddled around their coach and school officials. A Hall of Fame Bowl representative began to speak, telling the players what they longed to hear.

"I normally have to remain quiet when I'm in the pressbox, but now I can say, 'Go Big the man said. The Kentucky players, most of them kneeling around their coach, gave a proper cheer. "This all started at the Hall of Fame last year," the man said. "I saw Kentucky three times this year and you've gotten better and better and better. I'm proud of you." But the Cardinals bounced back behind Wagner and Forrest and scored the last 13 points before intermission as Indiana committed 17 turnovers.

Indiana cut down on its turnovers in the second half and wound up with 25. Louisville had 20. Indiana's freshmen were put into the game in the second half and Steve Eyl's two jumpers brought the Hoosiers to within 4741, but Wagner tossed in a 15-footer, his final points of the day, with 13:47 to go, and the Cardinals ran away again to their take on 6-5 Michigan, a Big Ten also-ran. If Brigham Young falters in the Holiday, the Orange Bowl could decide the national championship. Texas' 24-10 loss to Baylor threw the Cotton Bowl into a flux.

Tenth-ranked Boston College, 8-2 with Holy Cross on the schedule next weekend, was invited to play the Southwest Conference winner. That will be Houston if it beats Rice next week. If Houston loses next Saturday and Texas wins, the Longhorns go to the See BOWLS1 OB to 69-64 with 2:10 remaining, but Louisville pulled away again on two free throws apiece by senior reserve James Jeter and Forrest and Jeff Hall's layup. Other Cardinals in double figures were Billy Thompson with 12 points and Hall with 10. Mike Giomi and Todd Meier added eight points apiece for the Hoosiers.

Louisville, which lost starters Lancaster Gordon and Charles Jones from last season, was outscored by the Hoosiers 13-0 early in the first half and fell behind 20-11. Indiana for 7 5-64 season-opening win Louisville By Dick Joyce Associated Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Bobby Knight took his first coaching loss since last March in stride. Louisville, ranked No. 17, withstood a late rally by Knight's fourth-ranked Indiana Hoosiers for a 75-64 college basketball triumph Saturday in both teams season opener.

"I was pleased that the kids who represent the future did some things well," said Knight, who coached the United States men's basketball team to the gold medal in the Olympics holds off this summer. "We were able to get back into the game after being completely out of it. I was pleased at that. What we'll do from a game like this is take the guys who showed what they can do and work with them." Manuel Forrest, a 6-foot-6 forward, scored 18 points, and Milt Wagner, a 6-5 guard, hit from the outside for 17 to pace Louisville. "We've proven we're not a No.

4 ranked team in the nation," said Indiana sophomore Steve Alford, Indiana's leading scorer with 18 points and a member of the Olympic team. "We're going to have to pick ourselves up and go on from here." It was the first meeting between the schools in 25 years and the first ever between Knight and Louisville Coach Denny Crum. Crum said, "At halftime, I told our guys that a 12-point lead was nothing, especially on the road against a good team. They got back in the game and it was a dogfight from then on in." Louisville led 39-27 at halftime and 63-48 with 7:50 to play. Two layups by freshman Delray Brooks reduced Louisville's margin.
