Although 280-pound Kevin Hardy limped off in the game's opening minute, hurt again, the Irish were in scoring territory-only four plays after the game began. A tow snap from center was fumbled by Charley Bareither, the home team's punter, and Notre Dame took over on the 7-yard line. Four plays later, Joe Azzaro kicked a field goal from the 11-yard line, just two minutes after the game began.

Midway in the period, Bareither punted weakly against the 15-mile-an-hour wind. The 22-yard kick gave Notre Dame possession at the Illini 38. Bob dadieux, the best ball-carrier oa this field with 107 yards in 18 carries, moved it close enough' for Azzaro to come in with me ball at the 26 and kick another three-pointer. The third time Bareither punted, Schoea brought the ball back nearly as far (23 yards) as the kicker had kicked ft (26), and the Irish needed just five plays to travel 33 yards, with third and six, Hanratty passed nine to Seymour in the flat for first TURN TO PAGE 7, COLUMN jtunmng tor daylight and a place in the national rankings, if not re-election as national collegiate champions, the gold-helmeted guys coached by Art Parseghian fooled the Orange and Blue by running when trie Slini thought they'd pass. Notre Dame did everything well except punt (Illini kicking was even worse).

But even though Jim Seymour caught two touchdown passes, a capacity 71,227 crowd had its greatest thrills and the Illini their only chance when the Irish put the ball in the air.

Seymour, Notre Dame's tremendous pass-catching junior, has a full season and a half to odd to the Irish career record for receptions and yards gained as a pass receiver. The Seymour grabbed five passes this bright, pleasant afternoon for two TDs and 87 yards, giving him a total of 74 good for 121C yards.

Joe Heap, playing four varsity seasons through 1954, owned the previous Notre Dame marks of 71 passes caught for 1166 yards. For the first time since early MM, Notre Dame took the field today anraaked among the aatiea's top II teams. With alternate quarterback Coley O'Briea naavailable, Parseghiaa kept Hanratty and his regulars ea duty wed iats the fourth quarter of a game that was decided early. Illinois, 1-4 now compared with Notre Dame's 9-2 record, hasn't defeated the Irish in II tries. They last met in 194S and, from the way the South Bend side handled 'em this time, the Illini can afford to wait another 21 years to try again.

Weakened at quarterback with Bob Naponic still sidelined with injuries, the Illini finished in the red with minus four yards rushing as deductions on passing attempts were charged to their limited ground efforts. As passers, the younger Bess and senior Dean Volkman don't compare either with Hanratty or Naponic even though their No. 1 receiver, track star John Wright commands the same kind of attention and respect as Seymour. Wright gained 107 of IUinois's 129 yards in the air. Notre Dame, with better offensive balance than expected, rushed for 219, passed for 138 and gained 357 to IUinois's 125 total.

Mizzou's stock-in-trade, the fullback-ojuarterback offense, was relieved only by inside and outside reverse plays, put in especially for this game. On one of these, quarterback Conrad Denault took over a halfback spot and, after taking the handoff on the reverse, was supposed to pass. But he was so all alone as he came around against the flow that he decided to run instead and made 12 yards.

Iowa State, restricted to a mere 44 yards running, provided a few moments of excitement for the partisan crowd as Warder took to the air and completed 12 of 20 passes for 138 yards, his best pet formance of the season. But aside from the scoring strike to Busch, ha TURN TO PAGE 8, COLUMN 4 the three touchdowns, missed field goal attempts of 40 and 52 yards after other Mizzou drives sputtered and failed. In the second quarter, the Tigers picked up a safety when Iowa State wingback Tom Busch attempted to quick kick from his own 22 and the center snap sailed over his head and out of the end zone. The Cyclones, denied touchdowns early after driving first to the Mizzou 13 and again to the It scored on a 33-yard pass, quarterback John Warder to Busch to tie the game, 7-7, late in the first quarter. The safety gave Mizzou a 9-7 lead at the half.

There was little of esthetic beauty to the game. Mizzou used raw power to club the three-time-loser Cyclones into submission. The Tigers didn't complete a pass until late In the fourth quarter when all the scoring was done, Tiger scrubs roamed the field and the dispirited homecoming fans were filing out Of the Post-Dispatch Staff AMES, Oct 21-Halfback Roger Wehrll returned the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown here today and a powerful ground game did the rest as Missouri flattened Iowa State, 23-7, for its first Big Eight victory of the season. The Tigers and the Cyclones, who were cheered on by 25,000 homecoming fans, had a close battle for the first half, but after that it was all Mizzou. Fullback Barry Lischner, a piston-kneed 205-pound senior, was virtually unstoppable In the second half as he plowed one yard for a third-quarter touchdown and kept Mizzou on the move throughout by gaining a total of 150 yards.

Lischner's biggest gainer was a 54-yard gallop that moved the ball to Iowa State's 12 and set up a one-yard touchdown sweep by quarterback Gary Kombrink in the fourth quarter.

6 So. Cal Outruns Huskies SEATTLE, Oct. 21 (AP) -Southern California's top-ranked Trojans overcame fumbles and frustrations, wetness, wind and the stubborn Washington Huskies today for a 23-6 football victory. The Trojans had to score 16 points in the fourth quarter after Washington had narrowed the gap to a single point with Don Martin's second field goal at the start of the period, making the score 7-6. Morning rain had left the field slippery but Southern California had brought along its own thunderstorm in the person of 0.

That one-point margin seemed large when Martin kicked one 23-yard field goal in the second quarter and a 44-yarder as the second half opened. But Simpson geared up again as the fourth quarter opened. The Trojan sprinter out-ran the Washington defense on a 10-yard scoot around left end.

He was Jolted by the Warriors' Jeff Mulllns as be let the ball go. Caldwell was awarded a pair of free throws and he made them both. After another miss a moment later, this time on an easy 10-footer, Caldwell scored his fourth field goal of the opening (Picture en Page 4) quarter on a 25-footer shot from the corner.

That made it 21-17 in St. Louis's favor with five minutes left in the period. Rudy LaRusso and Mullins were hot hitters for San Francisco in the period and the lead changed hands several times in the closing minutes. Caldwell's fifth goal, another one from the corner, gave the Hawks a 26-24 edge with 2:08 to go. At quarter's end, San Francisco led, 3241.

Caldwell had a dozen points, but LaRusso and Mullins each had nine to lead the aggressive Warriors. Bill Bridges, in a mild shooting slump, showed signs of emerging as he hit a pair of jump shots in the first quarter and men popped in three from the 20-foot range in the second period. The fans gasped as Caldwell twice dropped passes under the basket that would have been certain goals, but Bridges hit on another jumper to put the Hawks in front, 46-40. was serving a hooking penalty. Ron Schock later missed the open net from close range after the Los Angeles goalkeeper had blocked Wayne Rivers's 30-foot shot.

Joe Caldwell, wtio went into the game with a string of nine consecutive successive field goal tries against the Chicago Bulls the previous night, stretched his streak to 12 before missing. Caldwell sank two jumpers and a layup as the Hawks took the lead early.

The Buffs' defensive platoon made more yards in four interception returns funning them back for two telling touchdownsthan Colorado's offensive unit collected on 57 plays. And paired with those interceptions were four recoveries of Nebraska fumbles that helped to stop Nebraska's offense, which rolled for 402 yards, at precisely the right moments. Stopped, too was Nebraska's nemo field winning habit, tn which ok Huskers had won 21 in a row in piling up four successive conference crowns.

Tackle Frank Bosch's recovery of quarterback Frank Patrick's rumble on a gambling fourth-and-one sneak at the Nebraska 29 set up the touchdown that brought Colorado from behind for a 7-7 tie in the second quarter. And a 70-yard interception return by safety Dick Anderson and end Mike Veeder, who took Anderson's lateral at the Nebraska 45 put the Buffs ahead to stay in their first victory over the Huskers in six seasons. Then, after Anderson had blocked a Nebraska conversion attempt, keeping Colorado ahead by a point, 14-18 in the third quarter, eornerback Jeff Raymond supplied the crusher by hustling down the sideline 71 yards for a touchdown with an Interception return.
