Cincinnati at Los Angeles Rams (NFL) KSAL 1 150-AM SPORTS DIGEST Auto racing Rick Mears used patience, a great pit stop and a key chassis adjustment to run away with the Marlboro Challenge invitational Indy- car race Saturday at Pennsylvania International Raceway in Nazareth, Pa. Mears, who hadn't led a lap of competition since winning the CART season-opener at Phoenix in April, moved to the front on the 66th of 100 laps on the one-mile tri-oval and dominated the rest of the $820,000 event that matched the top 10 drivers in the Indy-car series. The victory, in the non-points race, earned Mears $252,500, his best purse since winning the 1988 Indianapolis 500. The three-time Indy winner beat runner-up Emerson Fittipaldi, a Penske Racing teammate, by 4.256 seconds. He averaged 153.484 mph.

Basketball The Boston Celtics signed their No. 1 draft choice, Dee Brown, to a multi-year contract, the team announced Saturday. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. Brown is a 6-foot-l point guard from Jacksonville. He was selected 19th overall in the NBA draft in June.

Brown averaged 19.3 points per game his senior year and was ranked 10th in the nation in steals with an average of three per game. Guard Jay Humphries ended his trailing camp boycott Saturday, saying the Milwaukee Bucks agreed to review his contract. Humphries skipped practice Friday and Saturday. In a telephone interview from his home in Denver, he said he would be in Milwaukee today. Bo Kimble said Saturday he's happy his short holdout is over and that he's ready to go to work for the Los Angeles Clippers.

Kimble, taken by the Clippers as the eighth player chosen in the NBA draft, ended a one-day holdout. The NBA team began practices Friday at nearby Cal Poly-Pomona. Kimble led the nation in scoring last season at Loyola Marymount, averaging 35.5 points per game. Bowling Twenty-three-year-old Ed Zimmerman Jr. of Salina bowled Salina 's second 300 game of the season on Friday night at New Holiday Bowl.

Zimmerman, 902 Gypsum, rolled games of 172,300 and 202 in the Beer Barrel Poker League. He averages 194 in the league. It was Zimmerman's second career 300. In 1984, he rolled a 300 at King Louie All-Star Lanes. Zimmerman's 300 Friday placed him in special company.

He's one of four Salina bowlers to record 300 games at both Salina centers. Mark Burkenbine, who rolled the first 300 of the Salina city league season last month at All-Star Lanes, also has perfect games at both centers. Cross country Southeast of Saline's girls nabbed four of the top five places en route to a first-place finish in the Riley County Invitational. Southeast won with only 25 points. Downs was second with 48.

Southeast sophomore Jennifer Mueller won the two-mile race in 12:31. Nicole Cordill was third PamRichert fourth (12:50) and Crissy Pixler fifth Football Karen Crouse, a newspaper reporter covering Saturday's Arizona-UCLA game, said she was verbally harrassed in the Arizona dressing room while conducting postgame interviews. An unidentified, unclothed Arizona player reportedly approached Crouse, of the Orange County Register, in the locker room at the Rose 'What are we, in New England?" Crouse quoted him as saying. The player was referring to a Sept. 17 incident at Foxboro, when Boston Herald reporter Lisa Olson allegedly was harrassed by several members of the New England Patriots.

Golf South African Nick Price, twice a bridesmaid this year but yet to win, fired a 7-under-par 63 Saturday to capture the third-round lead in the $800,000 Texas Open in Antonio, Texas. Price's bogey-free round under perfect playing conditions gave him a 54-hole total of 194,16 under par, and a 2-shot lead over first-round leader Gary Hallberg, who shot a 64. Price, who hasn't won on the American tour since the World Series of Golf in 1983, finished second earlier this year at the Fort Worth and Atlanta and has won $336,669. Beth Daniel shot a 4-under-par 68 Saturday and moved four shots ahead of Patty Sheehan and Nancy Lopez in the $1 million LPGA Centel Classic in Tallahassee, Fla. Daniel's round followed a career-best 63 Friday and gave her a 14-under 202 total after three rounds.

Sheehan slipped to a 2-over 74 Saturday, while Lopez carded a 69, leaving them tied at 206 going into today's final round at the Killearn Country Club course.

Racetrack race J. 299-3636 Racetrack reservgtlons 299-3434 K-State quarterbacks spend day scrambling ByHAROLD BECHARD Sports Editor MANHATTAN Paul Watson and Carl Straw agreed on one thing late Saturday afternoon after Nebraska's 45-8 victory over Kansas State: Nebraska's quick-as-cat and strong-as-a-bull defense was as good as advertised. "They are the best defense I've ever played against," said Watson who was sacked seven times by the Nebraska "BlackShirts." Straw, who replaced Watson at quarterback in the second half, was sacked just once, but was rushed a half-dozen other times. "Their defense is great.

It's fast and they have a great scheme," Straw said. "It wasn't a lot of fun out there." Nebraska defenders such as Joe Sims, Travis Hill and Kenny Walker were the ones having a blast. They overwhelmed a young K-State offensive line from start to finish. Straw Watson Despite running for their proverbial lives on more than one occasion, the two K-State quarterbacks couldn't find fault with their offensive line which starts two juniors, a sophomore and two redshirt freshmen. "They did as well as you can expect," Straw said.

"Nebraska's front line was just so quick." "It will be a good experience for the offensive line because now they've played against the best," Watson said. It was Nebraska's defense which kept Kansas State at bay during a first half which saw the Wildcats go toe-to-toe with the Cornhuskers and more than hold their own. K-State managed just 78 yards in the first half and just six first downs. This is the same K-State offense which had produced 154 yards in its first four games. "They weren't bringing anyone," Watson said.

"But those front four or five, or however many there were, did an excellent job for them. "It was tough," he added. "We couldn't throw downfield, and when we had some time, our receivers were covered." Although the final score showed a 37-point margin, Watson and Straw said K-State will be back. "The score was based on momentum," said Straw, who didn't start because of a bruised ankle and finished with just 17 yards passing. "But we'll bounce back against Oklahoma State." Watson, who completed 12 of 24 passes for 102 yards, agreed.

"We're a different Kansas State team from the ones in the past," Watson said. "We'll come back next week." Kansas State had trouble all day handling a variety of Nebraska punt returners who returned eight punts for 170 yards. "It was a combination of things," K-State head coach Bill Snyder said. "We didn't hit the ball real well, we were slow on coverage and they did a nice job of setting up their blocking walls." Nebraska had punt returns of 66, 29,28,20 and 19 yards. Kansas State freshman Andre Coleman also did well returning kicks.

The 5-10, 165-pounder from Hermitage, returned six kickoffs for a record 142 yards. K-State (Continued from Page 33) them," Snyder said. "They were like the 12th and 13th people in our backfield. Our quarterbacks were at the mercy of our offensive line and backs." Despite its troubles on offense, Kansas State stayed in the game for three quarters because of a heroic defense which continually frustrated an erratic Nebraska offense. The Cornhuskers' only points of the first quarter came on a 33-yard field goal by Gregg Barrios with 4:47 left in the period.

Kansas State then cut Nebraska's lead to 3-2 three minutes later when William Price blocked a punt by Nebraska's Mike Stigge out of the end zone. South (Continued from Page 34) at Lindsborg running up and down Coronado Heights, Tuesday we did six miles and Wednesday we did 1,200 intervals, so we were pretty tired. "The 1-70 meet next week is where we really want to start running, and then take that into regionals. Manhattan took first in the girls varsity team standings with 37 points, as five Manhattan runners finished in the top 15. Kilat's performance helped the Wichita North girls finish second with 87 points.

The South girls took fifth with 132 points, while Central was ninth with 205. "This is the first time in four or five years that we've been able to compete as a team all season long," Goodwin said. "Ninth place doesn't look that good to some, but we're just trying to build things here." Elizabeth Larson was the top Central finisher, taking 25th with a time of 14:06, with Venessa Peterson finishing 27th one second behind Larson. Bethany (Continued from Page 34) touchdown 17-yard touchdown pass with 22 seconds remaining in the game. The Swede defense came into the game allowing an average of 187.7 yards per game, but the Bethel offense was able to produce almost twice that amount.

The Threshers picked up 355 yards total offense, including 288 through the air, with Heide completing 15 of 33 passes for 208 yards. Senior Phil Regier had nine receptions for 160 yards. Bethany rolled up 368 yards rushing on 59 carries, with Sean Lee picking up 141 yards on 20 carries. With Brooks expected to miss at least three games, Kessinger's concern this week will focus at the quarterback position. "The KCAC is not a league to have to play freshmen quarterbacks in," Kessinger said.

"We're down to three quarterbacks and I've never been in that position before in my 15 years at Bethany." Bethany faces inner-county rival McPherson College in a KCAC contest at McPherson next Saturday. We can protect you from disasters both large or srnall. To the astonishment of the nearly 10,000 Nebraska fans who made the trek south, the Cornhuskers couldn't get anywhere with K-State's defense. Nebraska had just 44 total yards in the first quarter and only 20 in the second quarter until taking over the ball at their own 19 with 2:12 remaining in the first half. That's when the Huskers drove 81 yards in 11 plays to score on a five- yard pass from Mike Grant to Jon Bostick with just 11 seconds left in the first half.

Barrios' PAT kick made it a 10-2 game. "Even with it 10-2, you ought to feel like you achieved something," Snyder said. "But the players were subdued at half time." The mood turned to downright frustration in the second half as Nebraska finally broke through a tired K-State team. Mickey Joseph, the second-team quarterback, scored on a 10-yard run two plays after defensive lineman Joe Sims picked off a K-State pass that had been deflected by teammate Travis Hill. Three-and-a-half minutes later, Leotis Flowers broke loose for a 21- yard touchdown which followed a 28- yard punt return by Nate Turner.

The score came with 4:26 remaining in the third quarter, making it a 24-2 game. Kansas State did pick up a pair of Tate Wright field goals in the final quarter, but Nebraska countered with 21 points. A 45-yard TD pass from Grant to Bostick came at the 5:47 mark; Hughes bolted 99 yards for a score on a kickoff return with 3:52 left and Joseph scampered 26 yards to score with 1:46 remaining. "I'm responsible for letting the score get out of hand," Snyder said. "But I've always told the kids that if they play hard, then I'll coach to win.

"Perhaps we could have held the score down, but I don't know!" Snyder said. "If we'd have run the football, it might have three-and-out anyway." Nebraska finally managed to break loose for 372 yards of total offense but the inconsistency of the offense bothered Osborne. "I'm very disappointed with the way we moved the ball," Osborne said. The K-State offense failed to function, period. The Wildcats managed just 40 yards rushing and 119 through the air.

Nebraska, now 1-0 and 5-0, is at home with Missouri next Saturday. Kansas State is at home with Oklahoma State. Ell-Saline rolls to easy win over Palco By the Journal Sports Staff PALCO Powered by a 36-point first half, Ell- Saline's football team rolled over Palco on Friday night, 52-22. The victory snapped a two-game losing streak for the Cardinals, now 4-2. Palco dropped to 0-6.

Ell-Saline didn't roll up big numbers (241 total yards), but the Cardinals took advantage of several Palco turnovers. Chad Robertson rushed for 65 yards and scored two touchdowns for Ell-Saline. Roy Emmot started the Ell-Saline scoring by rec- overing a Doyle Richards fumble in the end zone. Robertson's 1-yard run gave the Cardinals a 14-0 lead after the first quarter. Ell-Saline erupted for 22 points in the second quarter.

Marty Kramer started things with a 35-yard interception return for a TD. Richards had a 5-yard run and J.T. Hopkins a 3-yard run to finish the first-half scoring. Robertson added a 4-yard run and Chasson Holcom caught a 30-yard TD pass from backup quarterback Don Sias for the last two Ell-Saline scores. Ell-Saline plays at Sedgwick Friday.

American (Continued from Page 33) since 1984, stole third and scored on Carney Lansford's one-out single off Jeff Gray. With Stewart shutting down the Red Sox on four hits through eight innings, the Athletics made it official in the ninth. They tied an AL playoff record with seven more runs against Dennis Lamp and Rob Murphy. Canseco had a sacrifice fly and Rickey Henderson added a two-run single. Eckersley took over in the ninth, as if it was really necessary, and finished the five-hitter.

Stewart, pitching the playoff opener for the third straight year, recorded his eighth consecutive victory over the Red Sox. Six of them have come against Clemens and, even though this one didn't, it felt just as good. "I've been real, real lucky against him," Stewart said. "But Roger didn't pick up the loss. For what he came into the game with and what he tried to do, he did great.

"A healthy Roger Clemens would probably carry that game a little farther and maybe win," Stewart said. "Fortunately for us, his shoulder wouldn't let him do it." For Stewart, it was his sixth victory in nine postseason starts. For Clemens, the no-decision left him just 1-1 in seven playoff and World Series games. "Things worked out pretty much the way I wanted them to," said Stewart, MVP of last year's World Series. Fort Hays loses TAHLEQUAH, Okla.

Northeastern State rolled up 283 yards rushing and 22 first downs and whipped Fort Hays State, 37-7, Saturday night. The only noise Fort Hays State made was in the second quarter when end John Ruder caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Bryan Maring. Northeastern State, 2-2-1, dominated the rest of the game, piling up 385 yards to 119 for the Tigers, who fell to 4-2. Northeastern State quarterback Jackie Hood passed for one score and ran for another. He passed for 102 yards.

Alfred Green rushed for 90 yards for the Redmen. Fort Hays plays at Emporia State Saturday. We'll give you $400 in savings and Ray to keep you comfortable.
