Mike Ka-sowski scored two touchdowns and rushed for 142 yards to lead North Dakota State to an 18-6 victory over Shippensburg State yesterday in an NCAA Division II college football semifinal game.

12 in McAl-len, Texas. The Bison will face Southwest Texas, which defeated Northern Michigan, 62-0, at San Marcos, Texas, in yesterday's other semifinal. Northern Michigan played without its star quarterback, Tom Bartoldi, who underwent an emergency appendectomy Thursday. His replacement, a freshman, completed only 12 of 37 passes and was intercepted twice. At Shippensburg, Kasowski capped an eight-play, 58-yard drive in the first quarter with a seven-yard run for the game's first touchdown.

Shippensburg fought back to tie by recovering its own fumbled kickoff at the 10-yard line. Quarterback Tim Ebersole moved the team with five passes in five attempts for 61 yards and capped the drive with an 11-yard touchdown pass to tight end Vince Sodrosky. In the second half, North Dakota drove to the Raiders' one, but fullback Kevin Peters fumbled in the end zone and Shippensburg defensive back Chuck Beans recovered. Several unsuccessful drives followed before North Dakota capitalized on a Shippensburg fumble and drove 58 yards for a touchdown on quarterback Mark Nellermoe's 12-yard run. The Bison scored their third TD on their next possession, marching 81 yards in eight plays.

What seems indisputable is that the NCAA, through tion and legal maneuvering, and the 61-member College ball Association (CPA), through the militancy of its more powerful members, have both lost the next-to-last chance to resolve their differences outside the nation's courts. "The first point of debate was reorganization. The NCAA has cut membership in the glamorous, major-V school football division, 1-A, by at least 25 percent, even if one accepts the gloomy CFA estimate.

And the NCAA's executive "director, Walter Byers, has admitted that qualifying 1-A schools can tighten membership criteria even further in the future. But a parliamentary device must be used to achieve further meaningful reorganization. Instead of proposing on entire new division, IV, which would be subject to a vote of the entire, three-division NCAA membership, the CFA schools would have to move to amend the criteria solely for the existing I-A. A fine point, but one that would reduce the balloting only to schools immediately affected. A more restrictive reorganization proposal, backed by the Big 8 Conference, was voted down, 89-55, by I-A members and conferences at the special convention.

'V The Big 8 plan, along with one advanced by the CFA, was keyed to so-called strength-of-schedule criteria. The Big 8 would have required that 60 percent of a school's games be against other Division I-A qualifiers, the CPA's that 70 percent be so scheduled. Both also demanded a minimum stadium size of 30,000 seats. The stadium-size provision was the one that stuck in the throats of the smaller I-A schools. Much was made of the money that would have to be spent in an inflationary climate to expand existing stadiums for many schools to meet the provision.

Other schools voiced concerns that they would have to move games from small, on-campus facilities to large, city-owned stadiums to qualify. So the NCAA's own, more liberal reorganization plan, keyed to home and road attendance, was adopted. As an economy measure? Well, not really, for the NCAA also went on to commit more dollars to sports in a later, basketball- related proposal. Proposal No. 15 at the special convention forced schools wishing to be classified in Division I in basketball to sponsor at least eight sports two more than were required under previous legislation.

How can the NCAA economize on the one hand in laying down criteria for membership in football's glamour division, yet demand the outlay of more money by many schools wanting to participate in basketball at the top level? By being consistent only in its emotional opposition to the CPA, that is how. Indeed, the special convention and the post-convention meeting of CFA schools both showed a tendency to be stam- peded by firebrand speeches. The loudest applause during the convention came when Joe Doland, the president of small McNeese State, accused CPA schools of using "threats" and "power grabs" to force the special convention. Fiery speech stirred up CFA militants The possibility that the maverick CPA schools will sign their own network contract with NBC for the next four years in opposition to NCAA deals with ABC and CBS for the same period was raised only after University of Oklahoma president Bill Banowsky gave an incendiary speech at the CPA meeting. Texas, Florida, Clemson and Oklahoma said that they would sign the contract, and Penn State and Georgia expressed strong support.

The so-called "property rights" issue was the second and by far the more serious point of contention in St. Louis. At its regularly scheduled convention in Houston next month, the NCAA will sponsor Proposal 47, which explicitly gives the NCAA control of the telecasting including cable telecasting of football games played by member institutions. Approval will require a two-thirds vote of all three divisions, but the CFA has little chance of getting enough support among the more than 800 delegates to muster the one-third total needed to block the legislation. A CFA proposal, No.

9 at the special convention, was voted out of order there. It specified that "membership in the Association shall never be conditioned upon the assignment to the Association of the title to, or the right to dispose of any form of property right of a member institution." That proposal, with the freedom it would give the big-time football schools to negotiate their own network and cable TV packages, is why war will break out soon. To the CFA schools, property rights are closely linked to reorganization. "We feel controls should be developed by those who are active in the television marketplace," CFA executive director Chuck Neinas said. Paterno: Side benefits in CFA -NBC deal The more visionary detractors say "hypocritical" CFA proponents, such as Penn State athletic director Joe Paterno, claim that there would be ethical benefits from big-school TV packages.

With an NBC guarantee of two appearances for each CFA school and with a guarantee of SI million for each in revenue from TV, Paterno claims that all CFA schools would have the tools to compete without cheating. Paterno keeps pleading for a reorganization "in which I can sit down with people who have the same problems. And the coaches then could say, 'Hey. you're cheating. Cut it And yet one reason the CFA schools are reluctant to leave the NCAA, according even to Oklahoma's Banowsky, is the "regulatory powers" the NCAA possesses.

Exactly who wouio enforce Paterno's sanctions or investigate allegations in a CFA detached from the NCAA is unclear. The danger is to overstate the possibility of a renegade CFA contract with NBC and an open break by the CFA with Ihe NCAA. For every Paterno, every Texas or Oklahoma, there are many TCUs and Wyomings, schools fearful of defying the NCAA. So the real test won't lie in the meeting of NBC's Dec. 14 deadline for firming up the maverick TV package.

The real test won't even be in Houston next month. The real test will be over a property-rights issue that is so complex that highly paid lawyers cannot agree on it. A court fight after the Houston convention passes Proposal 47 seems inevitable. Said Georgia president Fred Davison, "We are not really talking about academics. This ITV negotiations! is commerce.

We may be part of a conspiracy to perpetuate a monopoly and restrain trade. That carries civil and criminal penalties. I'm concerned that a courtroom is the only place we'll get it settled." A decision on lawsuits filed in federal court by the University of Oklahoma and the University of Georgia and in state court by the University of Texas over property rights has been deferred until the convention in Houston votes on the issue. Peace in major-college athletics seems more tenuous than ever.

Walker, an ail-American who finished second to USC's Marcus Allen in the Heisman Trophy voting, scored on runs of two, one, two and one yards, giving him an SEC record 20 touchdowns for the year. "I think our offensive line is better than people gave them credit for," Walker said.

The Titans finished with a 10-1 record. Delaware knocked out of playoffs with Byrd pouncing on the ball at the Eastern 45.

Isaac struck immediately, with a 35-yard pass to 'Iron Armstrong that moved the ball to the Delaware 20. Six plays later, Terence Thompson went the final yard on a pitch around left end and, with 10 minutes left in the game, it was 28-21. The Hens refused to fold. Following the kickoff, they drove 80 yards in 14 plays, with fullback Bob Dougherty dragging half the Eastern defense with him for the final 11 yards and another tying touchdown. And when the Colonels seemed on their way to another score, Maley stopped the drive by intercepting an Isaac pass at the Delaware 13 with 2:12 left in the game.

But then, for the first time all day, the Colonels' defense shut down Delaware's running game, forcing Titus to punt from his end zone.

Almost since-Day One, there has been an unwritten law that defense wins football games. Yesterday, defense or, rather, the lack of it played the major role as Eastern Kentucky defeated Delaware, 35-28, before a chilled Hangar Field crowd of 8,100. The victory, the top-ranked Colonels' 11th against an early-season loss to Navy, advanced Eastern to the semifinals of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs.

Delaware closed its season at 9-3. As had happened on several occasions earlier in the season, Delaware's pass defense was unable to handle the task at hand. An aerial attack triggered by quarterback Chris Isaac played a major part in all five Fnsiprn touchdowns. The clincher was a game-winning, 32-yard scoring pass to Ranard McPhaul, who had beaten defensive back George Schmitt into the end zone on a fly pattern, with 1 minute to go. "It was a modest defensive effort," Delaware coach Tubby Raymond said.

"I don't want to place the blame on the secondary or on the line. Just say it was a combination of both." As sad as the Blue Hens' pass defense Jooked, their offense also must share the blame this time. The Hens turned the ball over near midficld four times, resulting in three Eastern touchdowns. Delaware started out as if it were going to run the Colonels out to Interstate 95 and then halfway to Knox-ville. The first time the Hens had the ball, they drove 68 yards in 10 plays, with quarterback John Davies getting the final 13 yards on a keeper around right end.

The first of K. C. Knobloch's four placements made it 7-0. Toward the end of the first period, however, the Colonels mounted a score-tying drive that would include Associated Press Eastern Kentucky's Ricky Yeast is halted by Barney Osevala a 15-yard personal foul against Delaware's Bill Maley and a fourth-and-five pass from Isaac to McPhaul. Isaac scored the touchdown on a one-yard keeper, and Jamie Lovett kicked the first of his five extra points.

Three plays later, Davies passed to Rick Titus. The throw was high and went off Titus' fingertips, into the waiting hands of Eastern's Rodney Byrd at the 50-yard line. Isaac promptly let fly a bomb to Jerry Par-rish, the play carrying to the Delaware one. On the next play, fullback Jon Sutkamp plowed in for the touchdown. History repeated itself minutes later, when a Davies pass intended for Mark Carlson was tipped into the hands of the Colonels' Gus Parks at the Delaware 46.

Seven plays later, Isaac scored from the eight, capping a drive sparked by his 23-yard pass to Steve Bird. Down by 21-7, Delaware opened the third quarter the way it had the first. With Rick Scully, a better runner, replacing Davies at quarterback, the Hens drove 61 yards in 10 plays for a touchdown. From the nine-yard line, Scully rolled left to pass, then dashed to the right, breaking tackles at the five and the two to score. The next time they got the ball, the Hens marched 80 yards in 12 plays, with Kevin Phelan going the final five yards for the tying touchdown.
