Galloway broke free of cornerback Malcolm Williams and free safety Jeremy Bunch to haul in Crandell's pass in the corner of the end zone. Tulsa put together one final drive. Bui the Hurricane, who came up short in similar situations this season against Oklahoma State and Nevada-Las Vegas, saw it happen a third time.

TU drove to the Pirates' 15 with 1:48 left, but Fitzgerald's pass on fourth-and-two was batted away by linebacker Mark Libiano. 1 olina safety Darren Hart intercepted TU quarterback John Fitzgerald's pass and returned to the TU 22. It took just two plays for Smith to put the Pirates up 21-7. It was the first of two interceptions for TU, as the Hurricane also lost a key fumble. Tulsa refused to quit, however.

Fitzgerald's 12-yard pass to flanker Michael Kedzior made it 21-14 with 20 seconds left in the first half. White, who got TU's first touchdown on a 9-yard run, tied the game at 21-21 with a second 9-yarder with 8:14 left in the third quarter.

Smith's score was set up when East Car By Dave Sittler Staff Writer TULSA The East Carolina-Tulsa football game Saturday night was a twofold homecoming. But Steve Logan was the only local celebrating after it was over. A Lawton native and former TU player and assistant coach, Logan and his Pirates spoiled Homecoming festivities for his alma mater and most of the 24,811 spectators at Skelly Stadium as East Carolina posted a 28-21 victory over the hard-luck Hurricane. In his third season as the Pirates' head coach, Logan downplayed the significance of returning home and leading East Carolina to its first win over a Tulsa program that held a 3-0 series edge. "It (homecoming) doesn't mean anything in what we're trying to do at East Carolina," Logan said after the Pirates improved to 4-3 overall.

Logan's enthusiasm was tempered by the fact Tulsa had statistically dominated the game. But, in what has become a TU trend, the Hurricane gave up a big play late and then saw a last-gasp effort fall short. The Pirates' biggest play came on a 45-yard touchdown pass from quarterback AP Photo Iowa State quarterback Todd Doxzon is tackled by OSU defenders Jevon Langford and Demetrius Crowder (top) during Saturday's game In Stillwater. Angelo State Trips Bronchos Marcus Crandell to wide receiver Mitchell Galloway with 4:32 left in the contest. The game-winner broke both a 21-21 tie, and the spirit of a Hurricane defense that had put up a stout effort after some early struggles.

"I'm telling you, we've had our share of these tough ones," a despondent TU coach Dave Rader said after the Hurricane dropped to 2-5. Four of Tulsa's defeats have been by 10 points or less. "Once again we're sitting here after a close loss in a game we should have won," said TU tailback Solomon White, who rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns. "The whole team is frustrated right now. We've got our heads down and we're sulking." East Carolina put together an impressive REBIG 2- Xffix (rr 150 OFF a 38-yard field goal.

NSU Scores 31-13 Win Over Savages By Murray Evans Staff Writer TAHLEQUAH Northeastern's football team had more tips on Saturday afternoon than its basketball team does on a good day. The fifth-ranked Redmen batted down 10 passes and intercepted six others en route to a 31-13 homecoming win over No. 3 Southeastern in a NAIA Division I and Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference showdown before about 8,500 fans at Gable Field.

NSU, 6-1 after its sixth straight win, took sole possession of first place in the OIC at 2-0 with the win. Southeastern (5-2, 1-1) outgained the Redmen 417 yards to 327 yards, but couldn't overcome a 24-0 halftime deficit. Three of NSU's interceptions against Southeastern quarterback Jeff Moser came off tipped passes at the line of scrimmage. Senior defensive end Ben Meinert of Hobart had three pass breakups and an interception, while tackle Todd Yeaman had two pass breakups. Guthrie senior free safety Ronnie Johnson and nose guard Morgan Seubold each had a pair of interceptions.

"I have never in my life seen three interceptions by defensive linemen in one game," NSU defensive coordinator John Horner said. "You just don't expect that. Turnovers turned the game around." It was the third time in NSU history the Redmen had recorded six oskies, and the first since they did so against Northwestern in 1987. The fifth pickoff, by Guthrie senior cornerback Troy Franklin, proved to the final nail in the coffin for Southeastern. Down 24-13 midway through the fourth quarter, the Savages marched from their own 28 to the NSU 8.

But Franklin picked off an under-thrown pass by Moser in the end zone to end the threat. Moser, an Ardmore sophomore, finished 18-of-42 for 314 yards. NSU reserve tailback Mitch Green's 16-yard scoring run with 2:08 left ended all doubt. Green replaced senior Eddie Akins, who carried 29 times for 150 yards before leaving the game with a sprained knee in the fourth quarter. Still, Akins raised his season rushing total to 1,025 yards, making him the sixth NSU player to surpass the barrier in one season.

Field position was the key to the game. Seven NSU's nine first-half possessions started in Southeastern territory, and the Redmen took advantage to post their sizable halftime lead. The game began in bizarre fashion, with the Steams combining for seven turnovers in the first quarter, including three on the first four plays from scrimmage. Seubold, a senior from Roland, had a fumble recovery and two interceptions in the quarter. His first pickoff set up the Redmen at the Southeastern 11, and on the next play, senior wide receiver Derrick Jacobs scored on a reverse with just 75 seconds expired.

Poor punting also hurt the Savages, as Kyle Harris had kicks of just 23, 22, 23 and 14 yards in the half. The second 23-yarder gave NSU possession at the Southeastern 26, and two plays later, Akins scored on a 20-yard run to make it 14-0. The 14-yard punt set up NSU at the Savage 30, and a subsequent 34-yard David Winchester field goal gave the Redmen a 17-0 edge with 6:14 left. Southeastern failed on fourth-and-3 from the NSU 25 thanks to a pass breakup by Meinert. The Redmen used three big plays a 25-yard Akins run, a 23-yard Matt Weber-to-Jacobs pass and a 25-yard TD pass from Weber to Dennis Blankenship with 42 seconds left.

It was Blan-kenship's second catch of the season and fifth of his career. Langston 45, Northwestern 0 LANGSTON Defensive lineman David Calloway scored twice on fumble recoveries Saturday as the Langston Lions shut out Northwestern. Running back Robert Brooks also scored two touchdowns for the Lions (6-2 overall, 1-1 OIC). Brooks, a transfer from Northwestern, rushed for 137 yards despite playing only the first half. Langston quarterback Ed Daniels passed for 243 yards and two touchdowns.

Panhandle St. 30, Austin College 8 DENISON, Texas The Aggie defense forced five turovers as Panhandle St. (5-2-1) rolled over Austin College (3-4). Jason Thome set the early tone, returning a fumble 39 yards for the first score, 1:57 into the game. Shaun McCauley rushed for 92 yards; Wayne added 83 for PSU.

Austin College's all-nAmerica running back Chris Sanders was held to 49 yards. Barlow's one-yard plunge and a field goal by Joe Stepp gave PSU a 17-0 halftime lead, spoil-i ing the AC homecoming festivities, i The victory marked PSU's first win over AC i in four years and the first time the Aggies had a four-game winning streak since 1986. East Central 16, Southwestern 10 WEATHERFORD The Tigers' Oby Allmon scored on a 25-yard run, but East Central (2-5, 1-1) missed the extra point and had to survive a pair of Southwestern (2-4, 1-1) surges to the end zone to take home the win. Southwestern drove to the ECU nine before Faul Ochoa picked off a Grant Pitt pass at the one. After a Tiger turnover, the Bulldogs again drove to the nine before time ran out.

ECU dominated the running game with 256 yards, but fumbled five times, losing a pair. Southwestern tallied 158 passing yards, but had the one fourth-quarter interception at the ECU one. cLathamtsf 2800 PENN 528-4451 SW 59 WESTERN 632-7685 FREE ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY il9S9 gfeHIBDON xfS0 TIRE CENTERS WITH JOE ESCO CREDIT CARD No Money Down IS No Interest No Annual Fee with approved credit WE DON'T MATCH PRICES WE BEAT BELTED ALL SEASON WHITEWALL $4 "9 00 ALL SEASON frj DECATHLON 40.ooomile C-b WARRANTY I 15580R13 24 BELTED rasram 40,00 P28575R1S 45.00 P215ISS1S 4S.O0 IOT7SB15 53.00 WHITEWALL 15580R13 EAGLE ST $35 I 17580R13 $24.
