(AP) Fullback Phil Francis and halfback Darrin Nelson keyed a fourth quarter drive which ended on Francis's clinch Yard Stanford's Pacifrun to ic-8 football victory over Oregon Saturday. Francis' tackle-breaking climaxed a 10-play, 70- yard drive engineered by reserve quarterback Steve Dils. Dils came off the bench after starting quarterback Guy Benjamin sprained his knee midway through the final period, after completing 16 of 26 passes for 267 yards. Set up Nelson, a freshman, rushed for 82 yards in 19 carries and caught four passes for 99 yards.

Nelson set up Stanford's first touchdown with a 65-yard run after taking a short pass from Benjamin. Although Stanford had a little trouble moving the ball, they missed several opportunities to score. The Cardinals had first downs five times inside the Oregon 15-yard line during the first three periods but could only sore one touchdown. The game clinching touchdown march was highlighted by Dils' 12-yard pass to Francis, a 23-yard pass to Bill Kellar and a 13-yard run by Nelson. Stanford managed to shut off Oregon's offense most of the day.

The Ducks' only score came after safety Bruce Jensen intercepted a Benjamin pass and urned it to the Stanford one-yard line. uarterback Jack Henderson scored two plays later.

(AP) Quarterback Pat Ryan ran for two touchdowns and "passed for a third as Tennessee racked up 31 points in the second quarter Saturday to defeat Oregon State 41-10 in a nonconference college football game. Ryan flipped a short pass to "Jeff Moore who then sprinted for a 37-yard touchdown with six minutes left in the second quarter. Five minutes later, Ryan ran over from the oneyard mark for another.

The game gave Johnny Majors his first decisive victory at Tennessee after leaving national champion to return to his alma mater. Trojans look good Spokane, USC rips Cougs with early punch pass, Jack rocketed a shot into the hands of USC defender Ricky Odom as the Cougars ran many routes in the end zone. With 11:10 left, Thompson and the Cougars got it across the goal against the defensively quick, smart and talented Trojans. After a sack, Thompson threw to Bevan Maxey for 17 yards, to get the 67-yard march moving. He came back to freshman running back Paul Palumbo for eight, to Mike Levenseller on a sharp post route for 14.

Then Palumbo's block helped spring Harold Gillum to the six on a 13-yard speedoption play. Next play, Brian Kelly ran the route USC had been trying to score on all night, to the corner flag, and Thompson looped the football neatly over a defender and into Kelly's hands. Just keeping coming USC, perhaps wanting to be ranked first next week on both wire service polls, kept right on throwing the football through its last possession. These guys are something like locusts only they come oftener. But they want to take everything.

Instead, WSU took over on downs in the dying seconds and almost scored on the game's last play when No. 2 quarterback Steve Grant, in action for the first time this season, hit tailback Williams on a 53-yard pass play. Williams was barely pushed out of bounds at the USC seven. a promising start no Trojan first downs on its first two possessions the Cougar defense proved alarmingly vulnerable to the tailback draw play and Hertel's passing. The Cougar defense also failed repeatedly on longdistance USC downs usual- ly by Hertel's passing or that tailback draw play, a kind of pass-action fake.

Once the Trojans had established those two productive maneuvers, they went to work. Hertel opened up throwing on second and third down, the second one complete to Mosi Tatupu on third and four, and the Trojans banged away downfield to the WSU 32, where White galloped 18 on the sweep coming back against USC motion. From the 14, next down, the swift Ford, who split the tailbacking with White, ran the tailback draw and cut it outside for 18 yards and the touchdown, first against WSU in a first quarter this season. Dennis Thurman intercepted on WSU's next possession, pedalled it back 35 yards to the WSU 26. Then, despite a clipping penalty, USC came back with the tailback draw for 16, and Jordan missed a 47-yard field goal widely.

The Cougars didn't play defense well, didn't run much, didn't pass well, didn't kick well and didn't cover kicks well. Their defense against the home run play, something they'd taken pride in all season, also was missing and by that time USC had rolled to a 41-0 lead. It ended 41-7 at the Trojans extended the nation's longest unbeaten streak to 15 games, took a 2-0 jump on the Pacific8 race and left the Cougars 2- 2, with their first home game coming up next week against 16th-ranked and also undefeated California. Starts with drive USC opened with a long first-quarter touchdown drive, then mixed efficient quarterback Rob Hertel's passing with some big gainers on the tailback draw for a 24-0 lead at halftime. The biggie was sift tailback Dwight Ford's 53-yard touchdown run with 2:16 left in the half, on one of those tailback draws.

USC's first scrimmage play of the third quarter was Hertel's 48-yard touchdown pass to elusive Randy Simmrin, who had escaped deep behind Coug cornerback Mark Patterson when Hertel faked the tailback uraw handoff. That made it 31-0, and after WSU halfback Ray Williams lost the football after a 10- yard gain to midfield, USC scored again. Hertel hooked up with running back Charles Cain with flanker Kevin Williams, the latter for 19 yards to the WSU six. Then the No. 1 tailback, Charles White, went over 100 yards in a performance, cut back to score on a sweep from four yards out.

Now it was 41-0, White's second score, following a 21-yard Frank Jordan field goal. That came after two checks on Simmrin by Patterson in the end zone corner. JT drives 'em Jack Thompson, who sat out much of the fourth quarter after leading the Cougars to their touchdown, had taken WSU 60 yards to the USC 10 in the third quarter. But on fourth down, trying a bootleg ed by penalties on two Thompson pass completions, made little against the splendid USC defense. Early in the second quarter, Hertel completed a scrambling 20-yard pass to Simmrin, beating a good Cougar rush, later hit Simmrin, double-teamed, at the sidelines for 22 yards as Kenny Greene's leap for the interception was inches low.

From the WSU seven, now, USC banged it home three plays as White dived for the final three feet and it was 14-0 with 7:31 left in the half. Tyrone Gray misjudged a short USC kickoff, lost the ball and Steve O'Grady recovered for USC at the WSU 21. Hertel tried to free Simmrin for two "flag" passes with Mark Patterson protecting well. Jordan field-goalled from 24 yards to get something for the second big WSU error. The last seven points was would you say redundantly?
