2B iwm.21.197S ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Who Needs Jeers From Pan-Am Crowds? Nof U.S. bobbroeg sports editor thought that his crippled Blues didn't play so poorly against the brilliant Buffalo Sabres the other night. For one, YVES BELANGER was outstanding in goal. For another, Buffalo's RICK MARTIN hits more line drives than STAN MUSIAL or ROGERS HORNSBY as a power hitter er, shooter.

What the Blues need most, it seems, is more time together on the ice. Fewer injuries and experience will help. So, too, will fewer penalties at the wrong time. If the Spirits can't see their way clear to keeping -HARRY ROGERS for the American Basketball Association season, which opens here Friday night against JULIUS ERVIN'G and the vengeful New York Nets, I hope the former Billiken star finds deserved success in business. Personal items: Former light-heavyweight boxing contender JESSE BOWDRY, looking for a job and not charity, is still unemployed and can be reached by phone at S31-03S1.

Add personal items: LOU MAGUOLO, long-time Yankee scout and previously a crack outfielder at Washington U. and a topflight baseball coach at McKinley High School, is confined to St. John's Mercy Hospital. Like Lou suffered a stroke and his condition is serious. And if you're wondering if the Redbirds could have obtained more than little-known DICK SHARON from San Diego for easy-come, easy-go WILLIE DAVIS, the swift, engaging geezer who has more financial problems than New York City, the answer must be an obvious I thought the Birds would have to give financially embarrassed, but personally undisturbed Willie Dee his unconditional release because other clubs had a hands-off attitude.

RAY KROC, owner of the Padres and the brains of McDonald's, must be ready to sell more hamburgers than GUSSIE BUSCH could peddle Budweiser. let any future foe except perhaps nationally ranked Nebraska and Oklahoma get past them. Brighter Big Red Outlook With JIM OTIS running as if from frieht or from his college coach, Ohio State WOODY HAYES, the Big Red beat Philadelphia with business-like efficiency as contrasted to their often colorful way of winning. Green Bay's upset of Dallas and Houston's home-field victory over Washington, only a bit surprising and yet no upset, proved once more not only the wisdom of the old cliche propounded by late commissioner BERT BELL and parroted by PETE ROZELLE "on any given Sunday" but it also showed how quickly the tide can turn. Uh-huh, including Alabama's Crimson Tide.

Now, if the Big Red won't permit themselves to be upset either by the skinned, scarred turf of New York's battle-weary Shea Stadium or the wind currents close by Kennedy Airport, an encore Saturday over the Giants would be most important to winning momentum. A year ago, you know, Washington lost two of its first four starts, just as St. Louis did this year, by the Redskins wound up 10-4, a figure that matched the cleated Cards'. The Big Red, getting both Washington and Dallas at home, could do what the Redskins did last year and by beating both well might retain their Eastern Division title. If their only worry is whether JIM HART throws one high and wide now and then, they've got NO troubles.

It does make dollars as well as sense, though, that Hart, as described to JEFF MEYERS in refreshing self-analysis, has been trying to help protect the spotless anti-sacking record of his capable, conscientious highly protective line. Don't hurry, Jim. By now, your personal record and that offensive line's need no introduction to the National Football League or even HOWARD COSELL. Apparently coach GARRY YOUNG realized in after Nobody asked me, but or, putting it another way, more impertinence than pertinence Who needs enemies when they've got friends as rude as the Mexicans in their treatment of United States athletes in the Pan-American Games? If I were Uncle Sam, I'd give Meh-i-co the back of the sombrero and bring our guys and gals back pronto. No matter who or how they justify the umpires' failure to call interference on the bunt by ED ARMBR1STER in the World Series if you can remember back far enough when the Reds and Red Sox were playing ball they've been quoting the wrong rule.

It's not rule 7:09 (h), which refers to umpires' judgment to determine whether a batter-runner "willfully and deliberately" interferes. That's "with the obvious intent to break up a double a leeway allowed the men in blue ever since alert JACKIE ROBINSON of the old Brooklyn Dodgers once reached down as a runner and sucked up a potential double-play grounder barehanded so that he would be the only out as a runner hit with a batted ball. To keep baseball out of bump-and-run and other football collisions, the rule that applied and by which umpire LARRY BARNETT should have called out the batter and required the runner to retreat from second to first when Armbrister got into catcher CARLTON FISK'S way reads clearly and simply: "7:09 (1) It is interference by a batter or runner when he fails to avoid a fielder who is attempting to field a batted ball No ifs, and or buts, Mr. Justice. You don't have to be a legal eagle to win that one.

Eyes Front, Fellas Speaking of officiating, a couple of calls by a striped shirt at Colorado who said the stripes should have, been horizontal rather than vertical? were critical in depriving Missouri of golden scoring opportunities, but the big, bold Buffs were not penalized a single yard. And when, watching spin-the-milk-bottle or playing patty-cake, much less football, did you ever see a contact or collision sport in which a foul didn't occur? Putting it another way, how often is there a play executed in football in which one of the officials couldn't justifiably play drop-the-handkerchief? Missouri will have to wait a year to prove to Colorado coach BILL MALLORY that what goes up (into the mountains) must come down, meaning that it's insulting with athletes acclimated to higher altitude to maintain that "superior conditioning paid off in the fourth quarter," as Mallory did at Boulder. Colorado players, similarly affected by lower altitude, have faltered again and again in the late going at Columbia and elsewhere, including Lincoln, where the Buffs must meet Nebraska's wicked Black-Shirt defensive unit Saturday. 01' Mizzou, meanwhile, will have to forget Colorado and concentrate on the Homecoming opponent, Kansas State. East St.

Duck Hunting In Illinois The duck hunting season will open at noon tomorrow in most of the state of Illinois, but not at several major hunting centers.

Because of the regular noon and 1 p.m. closings, hunting won't begin until Thursday at Rend Lake, Carlyle Lake, Lake Shelbyville and Oakwood Bottoms. Ducks are reported in fair abundance over much of the state. Habitat is rated as fair to good in most areas with the exception of the Illinois River, which is fair. battle of the century." Hold on, said some of the others.

"We don't want to get them riled up." Burroughs has 32 squad members, the same as Country Day did before 10 were suspended for the season. Does that make a difference to the Burroughs players? "No. We think it's a shame they were kicked off," said Parke, "Because we wanted to kick them with those 10 guys, too." The sports fever at Burroughs may be confounding to many persons who have the image of the traditional prep school. True enough, the intellectual side is stressed in the beautifully wooded college-like atmosphere. "But it has its advantages," said Parke.

"We're the intellectual football players, so there's none of that jock teasing." Not many look like the stereotyped jock. The heaviest Bomber player weighs 195 pounds. One of their best players, senior halfback Earl Gerfen, is only 5-foot-7 and 135 pounds. Gerfen, also a member of O'Keefe's state champion mile-relay team, scored six touchdowns in the last two games. "I'm not the biggest guy, but the line opens up the holes and I get through," said Gerfen.

"We've got a good offensive line of juniors," said Lemen. "They make some great gaping holes for the runners." On the other hand, the Mad Dogger's defense has left very few holes for opponents. "We've shut off a lot of people," Lemen said. Or i Shep Parke (Post-Dispatch Photo) By Miriam Pepper Of the Post-Dispatch Staff John Burroughs High School were running through some drills recently. Suddenly the football rolled off the field and onto the track.

One of the players pulled to a halt, dropped to his knees and crawled out on all fours to retrieve the ball. It was a move made in deference to defensive coach Tom O'Keefe (nicknamed the Mad Dogger) whose springtime delight the track team isn't totally forgotten in the fall. The track, which recently has been resurfaced is a source of constant concern to O'Keefe. "Oh he's always yelling 'get off the track' to everyone, so we all do it for him," said defensive back Shep Parke. The players especially were interested in yelling that warning to the girls field hockey team which was putting in some post-game jogging.

But the girls were aware of the track warning and one still in cleats hurdled the fence and dropped to all fours to cross the track. One even issued an "arf, arf" to complete the picture. The respect for O'Keefe's concerns is well-based. O'Keefe's football defense has allowed only 17 points this season, the lowest total in the area. The Bombers, ranked third in the Post-Dispatch small school poll, have four shutouts in a 6-0 record.

Coach Jim Lemen has been looking forward to this season for three years. "I came back to Burroughs in 1970 (from an assistant coaching position at Cornell University) and had these seniors on my seventh-grade team." That six-year training process is reaping its rewards. "It's our only advantage over the public schools," Lemen said. "We get the kids in seventh grade and have them for an hour and a half, four days a week in a training program. "A good percentage never has played football before," said Lemen.

"Except for a few in the Little League." Little League seems to have its advantages, at least for ABC teams. Three starting quarterbacks in the conference were once members of the same Little League team. They are Burroughs's Ted Levis, Country Day's Joe Frost and Principia's Bill Schierholz. Levis will face his former teammates the last two weeks of the season when Burroughs meets Principia and Country Day. The Burroughs players are especially pointing to the game with Country Day, which is the defending Missouri Class 2A champion and No.

1 ranked team in the Post-Dispatch small-school poll. "We want to beat them badly," said kicker Lee Bearman who has kicked 14 of 16 extra points and four field goals. "What can you say?"

Southeast Takes Stand That Is Real Historical We now stock a handsome collection college football byjotinsondcirg of casual footwear Ohio State Stays No. 1 Compiled From Newt Services Ohio State University, which ripped Wisconsin, 56-0, Saturday, retained its position atop this week's ratings by Associated Press and United Press International. The Buckeyes widened their lead to 45 points over second-place Oklahoma in the UPI poll. Missouri, tenth in both polls last week, tumbled to fifteenth in both ratings after its 31-20 loss at Colorado.

The Buffaloes jumped from twelfth to tenth in the AP poll and from eleventh to tenth in the UPI poll. OF ENGLAND AP Ratings Ohio St. (51) Oklahoma (8) "I guess history does repeat itself," said Southeast Missouri State University coach Jim Lohr. "Golly, it was a strange feeling, seeing that happen again." Lohr's Indians made a goal-line stand Saturday night at Springfield that was almost an instant replay of a stand made there two.years ago. This time, the defensive effort came late in the game and helped preserve a 17-3 victory that gave the Indians a 2-0 record in Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association play.

"We held them for two plays as time ran out," said Lohr. "And we did it because we had been there before the same side of the field, the same score in the game, and at the same time." Well. In 1973, Southeast had a 10-7 lead when Southwest drove inside the 1-yard line and the Indians held as time ran out in the first half. Anyway, some of the same people-defensive end Harold Dilworth (of Beaumont High), linebacker Mike Bosler (from Roosevelt), tackle Dave Rhatigan and linebacker Al Council were in on both goal-line stands. "I think we were able to do it because we had been there before," said Lohr.

"These kids are all seniors now." Southeast is tied for the MIAA lead with Northwest Missouri State, which handed previously unbeaten Central Missouri State a 30-7 pounding Saturday afternoon at Mary-ville. Southeast lost its first four games, all outside the conference, before whipping the University of Missouri-Rolla two weekends ago and then beating Southwest. "I feel, and our players feel, that we can play with anybody now," Lohr said. The Indians played the toughest nonconfer-ence schedule of any MIAA team, and they took their lumps. But they started coming in an 18-17 loss to Nicholls State, which is ranked fifth among NCAA Division II teams.

And the return of quarterback Rick Wies-er, who missed the first four games with a broken hand, has helped. "He set up both of our touchdowns against Springfield with two 39-yard passes to Terry Slattery," said Lohr. "He does a lot of things for us on third down." Southeast's Mike Wood, a junior from Kli kwood, started the scoria with a 38-yard field goal in the second quarter. Then S. Cant.

Bobby Everage, a senior from Alton, scored on a 16-yard run for Southeast in the second quarter and Wieser scored the other TD on a one-yard plunge in the third. Everage now has scored four touchdowns this season. "When Bobby gets near the goal line, he's tough," said Lohr. "He smells that pay dirt." Southeast Missouri experienced that strange feeling Saturday night and the Indians are hoping for the ultimate rerun.

In 1973, Southeast lost its first three games and then came on to win the MIAA title. Northwest, the tenth-rated team in Division II, will play Southwest on Saturday at Springfield and then face the Indians the following week at Cape Girardeau. Southeast will play Missouri Western in a nonconference game Saturday. "We're going to meet Northwest in two weeks," said Lohr, "but I'll tell you what, nobody better start playing two weeks ahead." In another Saturday night game, Missouri Southern defeated Lincoln University, 10-7, in a nonconference game at Jefferson City. The Lions of Joplin now are 5-2 for the season and Lincoln has 2-4-1 record.

In case you missed them, here's what happened elsewhere around the state: Bob Cochran caught a pass for a two-point conversion with eight minutes remaining to give William Jewell a 15-14 victory over Ottawa in a Heart of America Conference game at Liberty. It was Jewell's first victory of the season, putting the Cardinals at 1-4-1. Ottawa is 2-4. At St. Joseph, Bob Hemibaugh passed for two touchdowns and ran for another in leading Missouri Western to a 46-13 triumph over Kansas Benedictine in the Griffons' homecoming game.
