The Cubs, led by Johnny Callison, who crashed a two-run homer and Joe Pepi-tone and Jim Hickman, who drove in two runs each, riddled Montreal, 8-4, for their third straight victory.

Roberto Clemente, starting his first game in more than a week, doubled home the first Pirates run and scored the other as Pittsburgh tagged the Mets with their fourth straight setback. Luke Walker and four relievers combined to pitch a five-hilter for the first-place Buccos. The Cubs overcame a 3-2 deficit with a two-run rally in the fourth inning as Ken Holtzman staggered to his 16th win. Gaylored Perry fired a three-hitter and extended his scoreless inning streak to 38 as the San Francisco Giants stopped San Diego 3-0 last night. Perry (22-13) retired the first 19 batters before Rafael Robles broke the spell with a seventh-inning single.

Halftime 3-3 tie snapped early in 3rd By BOB EGER TEMPE Colorado State started out like a battering Ram.

ended up battered Ram. The vastly-improved visitors from Fort Collins gave Arizona State a goud battle for a half last night, but when ii was all over the speedy Sun Devils had 38-9 football victory in the bag. It was nothing like last year when A-State Led, 31-7 at the half and rolled up an awesome 79-7 final score. This time it was a modest 3-3 at the half, but quarterback Joe Spagnola reached into his bag of tricks for enough second half heroics to indicate the Devils are as talented as advertised. Playing before a crowd of 43.504, the Devils were far from brilliant most of the evening, but their vaunted offense and suprisingly stout defense were more than up to this particular task.

Spagnola picked up where he left off last year when he led the Western Athletic Conference in total offense. He completed 13 of 25 passes for 189 yards and had a 31-yard run to his credit. His favorite receivers were sophomore split end Ed Beverly, who snagged five passes for 85 yards, and veteran wing-back J. D. Hill, who made five grabs for 58 yards.

The Devils displayed ideal offensive balance, running for 282 yards and passing for 217 more. Halfback Dave Buchanan won his duel with CSU's Lawrence McCutcheon hands down. Buchanan gained 131 yards on 20 carries while McCutcheon had just 64 yards on 21 tries. A pleasant surprise for A-State was the running of reserve fullback Bobby Thomas, who came off the bench to pick up 112 yards on 17 carries. Starter Brenl McClanahan was impressive early with 40 yards on 10 tries.

The Devils were tight and ultra-con servative offensively in the early going, and it showed in their inability to move the ball. Former Brophy prep and Phoenix College performer Dan Torzala, who earlier missed a 44-yarder, put Colorado StatL on the scoreboard first with a S6-yard field goal late in the first quarter. His boot capped a drive that covered 80 yards in 13 plays. The Sun Devils came back with a three-pointer of their own, a 23-yarder by Don Ekstrand, with 9:30 left in the second quarter. Spagnola set it up with a drive featuring passes of 12 and 28 yards to Beverly.

An 84-yard Sun Devil drive fizzled on the CSU one-yard line late in the first half. With a fourth and goal situation at the Ram two, Buchanan was stopped a yard short. Spagnola wasted little time cranking up the offensive machine after intermission, moving the Devils 77 yards to pay-dirt in just five plays. A pass play to Beverly put the Devils in CSU territory and Buchanan ripped off tackle and outran the Ram secondary on a 34-yard touchdown jaunt. Buchanan was denied another 54 yards on his rushing total when an apparent touchdown run was called back.

It only evened things for a Ram scoring pass which was nullified moments earlier. Spagnola did a little gambling-with a fourth-and-six situation on the Ram 23-yard line midway through the third quarter, and it resulted in a touchdown Continued on Page 4-D How Top Ten Fared 1.

Northern Arizona Universitys Lumberjacks, Jteyed by a quick, hard hitting defensive line, rolled over the punchless Los Angeles State Diablos here yesterday, 33-0. The victory was a costly one to the Axers because starting quarterback Jim BeckenhaueV was jolted out of the game just before halftime. He possibly could miss the Big Sky Conference opener here again4 the defending champion Montana Grizzlies. Beckenhauer, who tossed a touchdown pass to flanker Steve Maier in the first four minutest was hit hard from the blind side and suffered a severe bruise to his right shoulder. At first there were indications the Montrose, senior had a dislocation.

Head coach i John Symank breathed easier when ft was diagnosed as a bruise and some pinched nerves. NAU displayed a sputtering offense for most of the 'game, but twice drove 80 yards for touchdowns in the first quarter. Meanwhile, the Logger defense, led by linebacker Mike Boettcher, tackle Don Bossert and end Kino Flores was harassing LA quarterback Ken Boney unmercifully. Can you believe that Diablo ballcarriers were tossed behind the scrimmage line 16 limes during the game? The Cal-ifornians netted only 11 yards rushing for the 60 minutes. NAU took the opening kickoff and went 80 yards in eight plays, the last going 36 on a pass from Beckenhauer to Maier.

Then with 2:15 remaining in the first quarter, fullback Bill Tale barged over from the one to cap another 80 yard charge. Tucson freshman Gary Galati booted both extra points for a 14-0 first quarter lead. The Axer offense was sluggish in the second quarter. The Loggers had the ball five limes but couldn't get any consistency. Mike Hlavac recovered a Los Angeles fumble early in the third quarter, but the offense did nothing with the defensive effort.

But then Jim Bennett, senior safety, flopped on another bobble on the LA 32. This time reserve QB sophomore Ron Johnson of Springerville got the attack moving. He tossed a 12-yard pass to tight end Dick Baserman, and then Tate broke a couple of tackles and went over standing up for a 22-yard TD romp. The quarter ended that way, NAU 21 to zip. Symank let his new talent play most 'of the fourth quarter and they did pretty well.

The frosh dominated offense, paced by a tough kid from Camp Verde, Jim Bullard, kept LA's defense on its heels. Continued on Page 10-D Title clinched by Al Unser SEDALIA, Mo. (AP) Al Unser cf Albuquerque, N.M., clinched the 1970 national driving championship yesterday by winning his eighth championship race of the season the 100-mile event at the Missouri fairgrounds. Unser, winner of this year's Indianapolis 500, set the fastest one-lap time ever recorded at a U.S. Auto Club dirt track event, turning a time-trial lap of 32.26 seconds.

The former record on a mile track was 32.89 seconds by Jim McEl-rcath in Springfield, 111., Aug. 8, 19G5. Unser's time for the 100 miles was 1 hour, 1 minute, 12.01 seconds, about four seconds off the USAC record. Unser and Mario Andretti, defending national champion from Nazareth, dueled from start to finish. Michigan's Bill Taylor dives lllllWlf s7 I 1 1V i Michigan tops stubborn Arizona, 20-9 By STEVE WESTON Republic Sports Writer ANN ARBOR, Mich.

Arizona's Wildcats showed promise of great things to come yesterday. Michigan's No. 8-r a Wolverines were undoubtedly impressed, struggling to a 20-9 victory over UofA before 80.38a fans the most ever to watch an Arizona team play football. And the game was much closer than the final score indicated, Arizona trailing by just 10-9 with only 3:49 remaining in the game. In those last minutes, though, Michigan got a 20-yard field goal by Dana Coin and a six-yard touchdown run by Lance Scheffler with 1:08 showing.

An interception by Marty Huff set up the clinching Michigan touchdown. But the vaunted Wolverines of the Big Ten were not ready for this good Ari-zona team and there is reason to doubt Michigan could have scored more against the Wildcats even if they had been "psyched up." Coach Bob Weber's second-year crew carried the fight to Bo Schembechler's Wolverines, and the final score surely raised some eyebrows around the country. Arizona's defensive unit was just tremendous and it looks as though of A is returning to its rock-ribbed defensive ways of old. Play by defensive ends Bill McKinley and Bob Crum, tackles Jim Ventriglia and Jim Johnson and linebackers John Eggold, Mark Arneson and Greg Boyd was very impressive. Michigan could not run consistently on the Wildcats and the defensive front men helped out the inexperienced secondary time and again with deflected passes.

In 59 plays, Michigan got 181! yards on the ground a 3.1 average. Offensively, UA found the Michigan defense a rugged one. UofA was literally unable to move on the ground, picking up just 84 yards on 32 plays. And quarterback Brian Linstrom found it tough going with his passing, hitting on only 15 of 32 for 143 yards. Arizona, most of all, could not push across six points but it's likely they won't face too many teams this year of Michigan's defensive stature.

Arizona did get three fine field goals from Steve Hurley, who appears to have regained the touch he had his sophomore year when UA was 8-3. Hurley's kicks were from 29, 44 and 33 yards away. Michigan scored before UA could get over its mild case of stagef right on a 42-yard field goal by Coin. Michigan got out to a 10-0 lead at 11:03 of the first quarter on a beautifully-executed 45-yard screen pass play from quarterback Don Moorhead to Billy Taylor. Then Arizona's defense found itself and Hurley started pecking away at the Wolverines' lead.

Cntinucd on Page 7-D across goal line for Wolverines' first in 21-21 Associated Press LOS ANGELES Nebraska's Joe Orduna broke a 14-14 tie in the third quarter with an electrifying 67-yard touchdown run but Southern California struggled back with an 80-yard parade to gain a 21-21 tie with the Cornhuskers last night. The Trojans, ranked third nationally and heavily favored, trailed the surprising Nebraskans throughout the game played before 73,768 a contest that kept the crowd in a roar with many turnovers of the ball. Tailback Clarence Davis rambled nine yards to cap the 80-yard drive by Southern Cal, with 8:16 left to play. Ron Ayala tied it with the point after touchdown. The Trojans, who have not been beaten in 23 consecutive regular season games, were in danger of losing their first as quarterback Jerry Tagge directed a well-balanced Nebraska attack.

Tagge the past week was reported a doubtful participant and was unable to practice because of a thigh injury. His recovery was obvious. The first period was scoreless. Nebraska scored first when Tagge handed off to Dan Schneiss who in turn passed 17 yards to Guy Ingles in the end zone early in the second period. After an exchange of interceptions, USC's Jimmy Jones tied the score with a four-yard run.

But before the half ended, Tagge hit Johnny Rodgers with a 15-yard scoring strike as Nebraska moved 74 yards in about four minutes. Ayala's second interception set up a Trojan touchdown to again tie it up 14-14, Charlie Evans scoring from the one. On the second play after the kickoff, the 196-pound Orduna, on a handoff from Tagge, broke off right tackle and out- Associated Press touchdown in clash with Arizona raced the Trojans' secondary on the tie-breaking 67-yard dash.

Fullback Steve Wor-ster blasted for three touchdowns and quarterback Eddie Phillips made a tacular debut as a starter yesterday as No. 2 ranked Texas crushed California 56-15 in an intersectional game. Worster, a 208-pound senior All -America, rumbled for scores on runs of 2, 11 and 9 yards all in the first quarter and Phillips cruised for touchdowns of 10 and 7 yards and handled the defending national champion's Wishbone offense beautifully. It was Texas' 21st consecutive victory over three seasons and the awesome performance seemed to indicate the 'Horns are in good shape to defend their national title. The Longhorns, the leading rushing team in the nation last year, rolled up 443 yards on the ground even though the subs played the last four minutes of the first half and most of the second half.

Phillips, a 193-pound junior taking over this season from James Street who was undefeated in 20 games as a starter, baffled the Golden Bears with his rollouts, zipping for 129 yards on 9 carries. Worster had 43 yards in 7 carries. Isaac Curtis, the highly touted California sophomore halfback with 9.3 speed for 100 yards, was shut down for most of the game.
