(UPI) The West Virginia Uhlverslty athletic depart- ment hopes to reap ffom a record titled "Ole Texas Still No, 2: Maintains Comfortable Lead By MICHAEL EISEN GREEN BAY, Wis. (UPI) It was Lynn Dickey's line, but it'could have been said by any of the 98 players in uniform. "This is the wildest game I've ever been in," ihe Green Bay quarterback said after the Packers edged the Washington Redskins 48-47 Monday night. "I think just about everything you could have wanted in a game happened tonight." The 95 points was a record for Monday night football.

Green Bay held seven different leads while raising its record to 4-3, one game behind first place Minnesota in Ihe NFC Central. Washington had its five game winning streak snapped as it fell to 5-2, two games behind Dallas in Ihe NFC East. The Packers entered Ihe game ranked last in the league in team defense, while Washington was rated 26th in pass defense. Both quarterbacks exploited those deficiencies to have outstanding nights. Dickey completed 22 of 30 passes for 387 yards and Ihree louchdowhs, while Joe Theismann connected on 27 of 39 passes for 398 yards and two touchdowns.

Washington fullback John Riggins was the game's leading rusher wilh 98 yards on 25 carries as Washington racked up 552 yards in lolal offense. The Packers held the ball for less than 21 minutes bul still gained 473 yards. It was the Packers defense that got the team going just one minute and seven seconds into the game, when linebacker Mike Douglass recovered a Joe Washington fumble and ran 22 yards for a touchdown, But the Redskins established the game's eye- for-an-eye pattern three minutes later when Clint Didier recovered Riggins' fumble in the end zone to make It 7-7 before the Packers had run an offensive play, After Stenerud and Moseley traded field goals, the quarter ended 10-10. Green Bay held a 24-20 'halftime lead thanks to Dickey to Paul Coffman touchdown passes of 36 and 9 yards.

Tyrone Basketball Boosters To Meet The Tyrone Area Basketball Boosters Club will meet Wednesday, Oct. 19, at 7 p.m. in room 100 at the Tyrone Area High School.

Club president Don Wagner has urged a good turnout to help step up plans for the fast approaching 1983-84 high school cage season. Henderson was tossed for punching Sixers' rookie Sedale Threatt, allhough the Boston guard said a wayward elbow prompted his response. "It's a shame the game has to gel lo this point," Cunningham said. "You never like to see the athletes have fists flying. There wasn't any control out there and Ihese are Iwo leams who are intense." Sixers owner Harold Katz said the faull was entirely Boston's.

"Those incidents were uncalled for," Katz said. "You can't touch the Celtics players in Boslon Garden, apparenlly Ihal'slhenew rule." Kalz also said he was shocked when- Auerbach ran onto the courl. "I've never seen il done before. I mean, Ihe man was silling in Ihe stand and he ran onto Ihe courl."

"I wouldn'l be if somelhing happens in warm- ups one day." Mixup Will Force Mountaineer Band To Stay Home UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (UPI) Wesl Virginia Universily's marching band wanls lo allend the Mountaineers' game Saturday against Penn Stale, bul it appears a communications mixup will force them to stay alhome. There is simply no room at Penn Stale's Beaver Stadium to accommodate the 350- member band, Penn State Athletic Director Jim Tarman said Monday. WVU band director Don Wilcox said band members especially want to go to Saturday's game, because it may mark a Mountaineer victory over the Nittany Lions, which would be its first in 25 years. "Sure they're disappointed," Wilcox said.

"None of our band members were even born the last time we beat Penn State. They are not going to be able to witness this historic occasion." WVU is 6-0 and ranked fourth in the country, while Penn State has struggled to a 4-3 mark. The trouble began last spring when West Virginia failed to note on a questionnaire from Penn State that the marching band wanted to accompany the team to the game, Tarman said. "West Virginia never responded (to the- question about the band)," he said Monday. "To the best of all of our information, we didn't hear from West Virginia about their band until Oct.

3. By that time, it was too late." Tarman said there is room for 75 band members, but West Virginia has said it will either bring the whole band or stay at home. The spaces that could have been available for the WVU band have been alloted to the Penn State alumni marching band, which will perform as part of homecoming activities, Tarman said. "We certainly would welcome the West Virginia band if we could work it out," he said. Wilcox agreed, a communication gap caused the problem.

"In all honesty, I don't think they tried to be subversive about this. There was a mixup in communications somewhere along the line." Redskins countered with a lyard Riggins run and a 28- yard Moseley field goal. The Packers extended their lead on a 24-yard run around right end by Gerry Ellis. Moseley connected on a 31- yard field goal and Theismann hit Washington with a 6-yard touchdown pass to make It 31-30. Moseley then hit a 28- yarder with ten seconds left in the period to give the Redskins their first lead at 33-31.

Riggins' 1-yard run gave Washington a 40-38 advantage but Dickey hit Mike Meade with a 31-yard scoring pass to give the Packers a 45-40 lead. Five minutes later it was the Redskins back on top as Theismann connected with Washington on a 5-yard touchdown pass to make it 47-45. On their next drive, the Packers faced a 3rd-and-10 on their own 36 when Dickey hit Ellis on a 56-yard pass. Four plays later Stenerud, who has connected on 51 of 61 attempts since joining the Packers in 1980, booted the winning points. The Redskins, however, were not dead.

Without a timeout they drove to the Green Bay 22, giving Moseley a chance to win the game. But his kick was wide to the right and the Packers had finally clinched a contest that will long be remembered. "I guess Mark Moseley answered everyone's prayer at the end," Coffman said.

Earl Campbell Says He'll Retire After 1984 Season SAN ANTONIO, Texas (UPI) Next season probably will be the last for Houston Oiler running back Earl Campbell. Campbell told reporters at the Quarterback Club Monday that something drastic would have to happen before he changed his plans, which call for retirement after next year. Campbell said he orginally planned to. play only seven seasons in the NFL, and he will reach that milestone at the end of the 1984 season. He said he was unaffected by the resignation last week of Coach Ed Biles, and that coaching changes did not affect his performance.

Campbell and the Oilers are struggling through one of the team's worst starts with an 0-7 record, and have not won a game since before the football players' strike last year. ByDAVERAFFO UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) Following Texas' 31-3 stomping of Arkansas Saturday, bpth Texas coach Fred Akers and Arkansas coach Lou Holtz proclaimed the Lone Star state victors No. 1 in the nation. Few among the UPI Board of Coaches agree, however, so Nebraska remains in the top spot by a wide margin this week. The Cornhuskers grabbed 38 of a possible 42 first-place votes and 626 total points after a 34-13 demolition of Missouri.

Texas is still second, picking up the remaining four first- place votes and 590 total points. The Longhorns chipped just one first-place vote and two overall points from Nebraska's stronghold atop the ratings. Texas will try to sway more votes Saturday against No. 8 Southern Methodist, which is 5-0 with a 21-game unbeaten streak longest in the nation. "I think we-should be voted No.

Akers said, publicly boosting his team as the nation's best for the first time. No. 3 North Carolina and No. 4 West Virginia retained their rankings, while Auburn jumped three spots after a 3113 victory over Georgia Tech to crack the top five. Rounding out the Top 20 are No.

Miami, and Brigham Young all ascended three spots after victories. Miami won its sixth straight, 31-7 over Mississippi State after a season-opening loss; Illinois scored a 17-13 crucial Big Ten victory over Ohio State; Washington topped Stanford 32-15; and BYU clobbered New Mexico 66-21 for its fifth straight win. Maryland, with a 36-33 win over Wake Forest, and Arizona State a 34-14 winner over Southern California each gained two spots. The biggest changes were the slipping of Ohio State and Alabama. The Buckeyes fell 11 spots after falling to Illinios while Alabama dropped 10 positions after its second straight loss a 41-34 beating by Tennessee.

Idle SMU climbed one spot, as did Michigan a 35-0 conqueror of Northwestern and Iowa, a 31-14 victor over Purdue. Oklahoma remained 17th after a 21-20 win over previously-20th ranked Oklahoma State. Pittsburgh and Boston College re-entered the ratings after falling out in recent weeks. Pittsburgh crushed Louisville 55-10, while Boston College was idle.

Louis, 9 John Supenia passed for four touchdowns and scored a fifth on a pass interception and also tacked on three 2- point PAT conversions to spark the undefeated Eagles to their second slraight Tyrone Youth Football League championship over the weekend. With Supenia lighting the charge, the Eagles soared to their second title with a big 24- polnt second quarter surge the game-greaker as they clawed the previously unbeaten Wolfpack of the East Division, 44-0, at Gray Field. The same two teams had played to a scoreless tie during a regular- season battle. Jake Walls scored on a one- yard run and Supenia added the first of his three PATs to move the Eagles out to an 8-0 lead in the first quarter and it was all downhill from there. Supenia threw to Joey Steinbugl for 54 and 47-yard TDs and 30 yards to Scott Crofcheck for another one as the Eagles waltzed to a 32-0 lead by halftime, adding a pair of 2-point conversions by Supenia and one by Walls.

Afler a scoreless Ihird period, they administered the finishing louches wilh Supenia throwing a 36-yard TD pass to Steinbugl and then scrambling 44 yards himself wilh an interception for two more scores in the last quarter. In an exhibition game thai preceded the title playoff matchup, the Lions-Falcons dumped the Cougars-Rams 2812, as Ricky Day tallied touchdowns on 44, 57 and 75-yard jaunts and Brian Brandt one on a one-yard run and two PAT rushes.

He certainly look a huge slep loward putting distance belween himself and Ihe shadow of former Ballimore manager Earl Weaver.

And al times he made it look easy. "I don'l Ihink il was done convicingly al all," said Altobelli. "We lost the first 'game then gol a shulout lo win Ihe second and Ihen we won 3-2 and 5-4. We had jusl enough lo hang on an win in each case. Whal enabled us lo win would be Ihe one-run games and gelling excellenl pilching." Altobelli's managing, especially in Game 4, when he artfully used four pinch hitlers then neutralized Philadelphia's bench in the ninth inning, made it seem he had managed wilhoul Ihe DH all year.

One reason for Allobelli's success is Ihe talent on his bench and in the bullpen. Finding more players is the job of general manager Hank Peters, who sounds completely uninteresled in becoming Ihe new presidenl of Ihe American League.
