McEnroe wins first title of year
LOS ANGELES — John McEnroe yesterday captured his first title since returning to tennis after a 6½-month layoff, defeating Stefan Edberg of Sweden 6-2, 6-3 and winning the $315,000 Volvo Tennis/Los Angeles tournament.
The victory was McEnroe's 68th Grand Prix triumph. It was the first since he defeated Anders Järryd of Sweden in November 1985 in a tournament in Stockholm, Sweden. He collected $50,000 for the victory.
"I'm happy to win a tournament. I'm glad I'm back," McEnroe said. "I've been playing better and better as the week progressed. It looks like the decision (to return) is looking better and better. Today, I felt I was on my game."
Edberg, the world's No. 4 player, finished runner-up for the third time this year. He also lost to Paul Annacone in last year's final.
McEnoe, who was ill and withdrew in the semifinals here last year, played brilliantly throughout the 71-minute match before an overflow crowd at the Los Angeles Tennis Center on the UCLA campus. The left-hander allowed just five points in eight service games.
Edberg struggled through the first set with his serve, usually one of his most potent weapons. McEnroe broke the Swede twice in capturing the first set.
McEroe, 27, continued with another break in the opening game of the second set and raced to leads of 3-1 and 5-3.
With Edberg serving at 5:3. McEuren closed out the match with his four break of the afternoon. He slammed Edberg's lob near the net on one bounce high into the crowd and raised his fist in triumph.

The 29-year-old Sheehan, a resident of nearby Los Gatos, Calif., won the tournament for a second time and earned $41,250 for the victory.
King shot a 3-under 69 in regulation play, while Alcott and Okamoto shot even-par 72s. Each earned $19,478.

Big 8 teams go 4-4 for weekend
Oklahoma, the defending national champion, is even better this year, according to one foe. Now the Sooners will have to prove it to another.
The top-rated Sooners destroyed Big 10 Conference opponent Minnesota 63-0 pushing Big Eight teams to a 4-4 week. No 5
Big Eight Roundup
Nebraska also beat a Big 10 foe in a 59-14 win over Illinois, but a third Big 10 member — Ohio State — got a measure of conference revenge by beating Colorado 13-10.
The Big Eight did not fare well against the Southwest Conference Saturday, losing all three interleague pairings: Texas stopped Missouri 27-25, Texas Christian beat Kansas State 35-22, and Houston topped Oklahoma State 28-12. In other games, Kansas slipped past Utah State 16-13 and Iowa State beat Indiana State 64-9.
The Sooners, 2-0, had some trouble last year with Minnesota, 1-1, in a 13-7 victory, but this season the game was never in doubt. Lydell Carr scored twice in the first quarter and Jamelle Holley scored twice in the second and the Sooners piled up 458 yards on the ground.
"The score is a pretty good comparison," said Minnesota Coach John Gutekunst when asked the difference between the Oklahoma of 1985 and 1986.
"I don't think you can compare them. They're an entirely different football team, both offensively and defensively, than we played last year. They're every bit as good as we thought they would be coming into the game." Gutekunst said.
Sooners Coach Barry Switzer said, "Our speed and quickness made the difference today. We did not dominate Minnesota with our offensive line like we did UCLA. It was the speed and quickness of our backs that made the difference."
Oklahoma, which has one of the toughest schedules in the country, must now turn its attention to next week's rematch with No. 2 Miami — the only team to beat the Sooners last season.
One thing Nebraska, 2-0, didn't need was help from the other team, but Illinois, 1-2, was its own worst enemy with two turnovers in the opening minutes of the game. The Cornhuskers needed just one offensive series for a 14-0 lead.
"We got a lot of help early and it made it hard to determine what the relative strengths of the two teams were," said Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne. "(The turnovers) obviously disconcerted Illinois. It really shifted
the momentum in our favor."
Kansas beat Utah State and Iowa State, 1-1, was the other Big Eight winner, knocking off Division 1-AA Indiana State, 2-1 Alex Espinoza moved into second-place on Iowa State's all-time passing list as he threw for 210 yards and three touchdowns. He has thrown for 3,699 yards and trails only David Archer, who has 4,104 passing yards for Iowa State.
"This game took a lot of pressure from us and Coach (Jim) Criner." said Espinoza. "During the week we corrected the mistakes we made against Iowa."
Texas, 1-1, had to survive a spirited comeback by Missouri, 1-1, after leading 24-3 at halftime.
"A year ago we might have rolled over," said Missouri Coach Woody Widenhofer. "I feel like we can play with the big guys now. We outclassed Texas in the second half."
Colorado, which was beaten in the final minute for the second straight week, starts off its season 0-3 for the third time in the 1980s. Those other two years the Buffaloes ended up 1-10.
"We had our opportunities and didn't take advantage of them," said Coach Bill McCartney. "Our kids played their hearts out, and once again we came up short."
