"And everybody ran well," said Scully, who sat most of the second half while John Davies directed the club. "We had six or seven backs working today without losing any effectiveness.

We've worked with a lot of different combinations in preseason and that really seemed to help." The Delaware staff got to look at nine different running backs Saturday with all but one having a yardage net in double figures. Maley, the defensive coordinator, couldn't remember a better open-See HENS-D-2 shared his elation over the 1-AA division victory. "Everyone on the offense played as well as I could have hoped," said offensive coordinator Kempski. "They were so much sharper than I anticipated. I was impressed not only by their precision, but by their quickness." His unit rolled up 542 total yards against a Hilltoppers defense that had 10 starters back from last year's club that yielded only 141.9 yards per game.

The Hens jumped to a 16-0 lead in the first quarter, then added 22 more in the second period in their sixth consecutive victory going back into last season. It was a strong first-half exhibition of football by the Hens, who scored on every possession save a one-play possession in the final second and rolled up 408 yards. Raymond had every reason to smile and certainly the venerable field general's two chief lieutenants, Ted Kempski and Ed Maley, the last 38 minutes and 47 seconds.

But hard-core fretter Raymond wasn't ruffled. "I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again," said Raymond, whose Hens took the lead to stay with 10:53 remaining in the first quarter. "Number one, we won a game. And you never knock, a win, especially over a good team like Western Kentucky. Second, we didn't get anyone hurt and we played everybody.

"And besides, you don't want to step out of opening day with the feeling that you've already arrived. (We've got a lot of things to work on, but that's good." It was easy enough to understand Raymond's buoyancy. His team The rampage was led by quarterback Rick Scully, resembling the Scully who last year sparked Delaware to an easy victory over Temple. The left-hander hit 5-of-8 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns. His 74-yard touchdown pass to halfback Cliff Clement opening the scoring was the longest scoring pass of Scully's checkered career.

He later added a 42-yard toss to fullback Bob Dougherty. "The offense executed real well," said Scully, who also ran for a TD, a 10-yard free-wheeling job that appeared to come on a broken play.

For the opening 30 minutes it had the makings of a masterpiece, a "Mona Lisa" University of Delaware coach Tubby Raymond was heard to wistfully respond. In the end, however, it was an artistic but something just short of a classic 38-14 victory over Western Kentucky University on a hot and sunny Saturday afternoon before a Hilltoppers' home-opener crowd of approximately 13,000.

After jumping ahead 38-0 in less than two quarters in its season Opener, Delaware was shut out over Michigan, Alabama are upset Underdogs dump teams ranked 1, 2 By The Associated Press The Wisconsin Badgers were unranked and unheralded before Saturday. But after a stunning 21-14 upset over top-rated Michigan, the 68,733 Badgers' fans at Camp Randall in Madison, were chanting, "We're No.l." It's not likely that the Badgers will jump from nowhere to the top spot in next week's Associated Press college football poll. And it's not likely either that Michigan, which hadn't lost to Wisconsin in 15 games since 1962 and never had lost a season-opener in Bo Schem-bechler's 13 years as head coach, Will retain its No.l ranking. Nor is it likely that Alabama, currently rated No.2, will become No.l. The Crimson Tide blew an opportunity to take over first place by losing 24-21 to Georgia Tech, another big underdog.

"A lot of people didn't think we could beat the No.l team in the country," jubilant Wisconsin Coach Dave McClain said after his Badgers had shocked Michigan. "But before the game, I told the players that they were the only guys in this (locker) room who believed we could win. "You've got to believe." The Badgers believed in McClain's new shotgun offense, and executed it perfectly against the surprised Wolverines. Quarterback Jess Cole was the Wisconsin sparkplug. He collaborated on scoring passes of 17 yards to Marvin Neal and 71 yards to John Williams as the Badgers amassed 439 yards against a defense that had not surrendered any TDs and only three field goals in Michigan's final 5V2 games last season.

Williams, a tailback, caught a Cole screen pass about five yards behind the line of scrimmage and raced down the left sideline to score on a 71-yard play, giving Wisconsin a 21-14 lead with 5:13 left in the third quarter. The Badgers, beaten by a combined margin of 176 points by Michigan in the teams' last four games, held on to defeat the Wolverines for the first time in 15 meetings since 1962.

She overcame all three with her patented baseline game to capture her second Open singles title, 1-6, 7-6, 7-6. Defending men's champion John McEnroe, the top seed, shook off an ankle injury to outlast No.15 Vitas Gerulaitis 5-7, 6-3, 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 and move into today's final against second-seeded Bjorn Borg of Sweden, who beat No.4 Jimmy Connors 6-2, 7-5, 6-4. Borg appeared unbothered by a death threat. According to an announcement made in the press box at the National Tennis Center, a man had telephoned the center threatening Borg's life. Austin's first title, in 1979, made her the youngest singles champion in the history of America's premier tennis event.

"I think this means more to me than the first one," said Austin, who received more than $60,000 for the victory. "At 16, everything came too fast I think I was too young to realize how important it was." The loss crushed the hopes of Navratilova, who broke down and cried as she received a standing ovation at the awards ceremony immediately following the match. Navratilova, who has won Wimbledon twice, defected from her native Czechoslovakia following the 1975 U.S. Open and became a naturalized U.S. citizen earlier this year.

This was the first time she had reached the finals here. "I tried too hard," Navratilova said. "It would have meant so much more to win it (the U.S. Open) as an American. But it didn't turn out that way.

"Next year." Navratilova began the match as if she would crush Austin easily, winning 10 of the first 11 points with her powerful serve and accurate volleys. "I thought she really had me after the first set," Austin said. "She came on like gangbusters. She came out of the blocks really fast." But the teen-ager from Rolling Hills, settled into her own rhythm and realized she was hitting short to Navratilova's backhand. She fought back with her own game, drilling shot after shot from the baseline, repeatedly passing Navratilova whenever the lefthander ventured to the net.

Yet it came down to two tiebreakers a best-of-12-points formula that would seem to favor the big server. Austin made it her own territory, capturing the first 7-4, then sweeping to victory in the second 7-1. Navratilova double-faulted on the final point. "When you want something to happen so bad, you freeze out there," Navratilova said. "And I froze out there a couple points.

I. tried so hard. "I had a problem putting her away. I guess I'm going to have to play better when I'm ahead." Austin's victory was made sweeter since she had been sidelined for almost four months earlier this year with a lower back injury. She returned to the women's circuit in May.

But she skipped the French Open, the first of the Grand Slam tournament, the following week before winning at East-See OPEN D-6 surprised. The Phillies hadn't strung back-to-back victories here since April 17-18, 1979, and the last right-handed starter to win at Three Rivers was Dick Ruthven in August of '78. The loser was Dickie Noles, who deserved and has pitched better. Noles had compiled a sparkling 1.89 earned run average in his three previous starts, but he was in trouble from the outset Saturday night. Of the 21 batters Noles faced, 10 reached base and four scored.

"Not being able to make pitches when he had to, that hurt Dickie tonight," said Green. "This was a good opportunity for Dickie. He'd given us two good starts and the Pirates aren't playing well if he holds 'em down for 6-7 good innings, Inside Sports we might have a shot at them." The Pirates took their shots at Noles early and often. Omar Moreno stroked Noles' first pitch of the game to center for a single, then stole second and moved to third on a sacrifice by Tim Foli. Jason Thompson's double to right made it 1-0.

The Phils tied the score against Solomon in the third. Noles led off with a single and Pete Rose followed suit with a ground hit to right. When Bake McBride walked to load the bases with nobody out, Solomon appeared in deep trouble. But Gary Matthews bailed out the Buc right-hander by hitting into a double play as Noles scored the tying run. Mike Schmidt then lined out to end the inning.

"We just didn't hit 'em; it's that easy." The Pirates regained the lead in their half of the third. Foli singled, stole second and scored on Thompson's second double of the night. The Pirates knocked out Noles with two more runs in the fourth and it could have been worse. Noles started the inning by plunking Lee Lacy with his first pitch. That caused a few glares between Noles and Lacy, but nothing of George See PHILLIES D-6 Brewers shell Palmer and Orioles 6-3 MILWAUKEE (AP) Ted Simmons hit three singles and drove in three runs and Cecil Cooper rapped three hits and scored two runs, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-3 victory over the Orioles Saturday night.

Randy Lerch, 5-8, pitched 5V3 innings to pick up the win, with relief help from Reggie Cleveland and Rollie Fingers, who pitched the ninth inning for his 24th save and was backed by the Brewers' fifth double play of the game. Milwaukee knocked out Baltimore starter Jim Palmer, 5-8, in the first inning, scoring four times. Paul Molitor led off with a single and one out later, Cooper blooped a double, sending Molitor to third. Both runners scored on Simmons' first single and Simmons scored after singles by Dan Oglivie and Gorman Thomas. After Thomas' single, Palmer was replaced by Scott McGregor, who surrendered an RBI single to Roy Howell.

Milwaukee made it 5-0 in the second when Thad Bosley led off with a single, advanced to second on a sacrifice and scored on Cooper's single.

The Phils' three-game winning jStreak, a trio in which they'd scored 29 runs, wilted kgainst the duo of Eddie Solomon and Rod Scurry. "Back to the drawing board, I guess," said Phils' Manager Dallas Green after he'd awakened his sleepwalking troops.

"We had our opportunities to win the game; we just didn't do it." Green really shouldn't have been "I think at times our defense played well, but when you are playing a team as good as South Carolina State, you just can't give them the football. That's what we did wrong today." Defensive end Anthony Sharpe led DelState with 15 tackles. Free safety Tim King had 14. After a scoreless first period, S.C. State, 1-1, jumped to a 10-0 lead by the half, when Gatson relieved starting QB Lamont Green, the Bulldogs drove 61 yards in six plays.

Henry Odom ran 13 yards for the score and Al Gardner kicked the extra point with 13:58 left in the second period. The drive started after DelState freshman halfback Bruce McGriff fumbled and linebacker Tom Tutson recovered for S.C. State. A 24-yard field goal by Gardner with 27 seconds left in the half made it 10-0. Gatson set up the score with a 47-yard run.
