Gary Kurt, one of the three Cleveland goalies, was rewarded for his play in the second period when he was named the game's most valuable player. He was presented with a new Arctic Cat motor scooter. The selection was made by some 200 youths in the Thief River Falls midget hockey program.

Cleveland scored on its first two shots on goalie Gump Worsely in the opening period. Comeau hit from 15 feet at 4:04, and defenseman Dennis O'Brien drove a screened shot from just inside the blue line at 7:59. The teams exchanged goals in the second period, Danny Grant collecting his first of the exhibition season, at 1:40, and Beau-din giving Cleveland a 3-1 lead on a rebound at 19:41. "We should have put it away in the second period," noted Gordon. "But Kurt did come up with some fine saves." Kurt was Gordon's goaltender last season when he coached at Cleveland.

Comeau made it 4-1 with a looping shot that bounced in over Gilles Gilbert's glove at 10:18 of the third period, before Bobby Rousseau scored for Minnesota at 16:17. Cleveland, to compound the humiliation, did not have its full roster of players on hand. Several of the Barons, including, Joey Johnston, were given permission to drive their families to Cleveland.

Recently Nebraska has had a considerable advantage for good reasons which have been detailed often. The simple truth is that Nebraska SHOULD beat Minnesota because it has more significant factors going It is the strongest team in the stronger conference. But I think the Gophers will have a good shot at it this time.

They are closer to a physical match for the Cornhuskers than they have been recently and they are in a good psychological position, for whatever that is worth. You may recall that Southern California came here tvvo years ago with 0. J. Simpson and a vastly superior team. The Gophers risked everything in that game and had it won but for a fumble when they needed, and would have had, one more first down late in the game.

A victory there should have started the Gophers on a successful season. That was the risk they took, and you love 'em for it. If they can pull this one out Saturday, with a similar effort, the Big Ten had better watch out for them. Long Way to Practice NOTRE DAME'S FOOTBALL TEAM has never played on synthetic turf, but it will find it at Michigan State Saturday. In preparation' it will be permitted to practice at Michigan Thursday and Friday.

Michigan has two Tartan Turf fields similar to State's. Coach Ara Parseghian thinks it worth the effort to take his Irish the 100-odd miles to Ann Arbor to get the feel of the rug. He said last week, "I'm not in any hurry to have the turf at Nortre Dame. I think they are still improving it. If we wait a while we'll get a better surface." But Murray Warmath said, "I don't see how they can improve on their latest product, which we have at Minnesota." Too Many One-Sided Games BEANO COOK OF THE AMERICAN Broadcasting Co.

is always asking questions. He asked some university coaches what they think of the wide-open football of the 70s. Some like it, but Bear Bryant of Alabama doesn't. He prefers the more balanced game of a while ago when the defense had more effectiveness. I'm with the Bear.

Offensive skills, especially in passing and receiving, have become so great that touchdowns are, let's say, a dime a dozen. This has resulted in too many one-sided games. It is too easy for a team that gets out in front to pull away Into a wide lead. Too many games are over by the end of the first period. Formerly, two teams that were pretty well matched played a close game.

One team might be a touchdown or two stronger than its opponent. Then we'd have 14-7 or 20-7 games, something of that sort. In today's football in a game between teams of about that same difference in strength the slightly superior team sews it up early. A seven-point or 14-point difference, which formerly produced close games and sustained suspense throughout, now has become a 30-point or 40-point differennce. The attack has become so dominant that the least bit of superiority has overwhelming effect.

Fans have to suffer through too many games that become too one-sided too soon. It's time, the Bear thinks, and something be done by the rules committee to give the defense a place in the game. BRAZIL PRESIDENT LIKES HIS SOCCER GOPHERS PREPARE WITH HEAVY DRILL United Press International The University of Minnesota football team, preparing for Saturday's home game against powerful Nebraska, went though a heavy offensive drill Wednesday.

Greg Smith, a 6-foot-4, 255-pound middle guard is the heart of Osseo's defense. "That's what I was talking about," Davis said. "We tried to run away from him, except we never knew where he was going to be. He'd play nose man one time, then defensive tackle.

If we were lucky and called the play away from him we had some success; if we ran at him we were in trouble." Smith was the middle guard on last year's Minneapolis Tribune All-State team and was on the high school AU-American team picked by Street and Smith college football magazine. "He's something to behold." said Del MottaZ, who coaches Osseo's linemen. "But you have to remember he's a high school kid and he'll make mistakes. What makes him stand out is that he can make mistakes and adjust because of his strength and speed. "We have him doing some things none of our other kids have done, simply becuase he's so ad: vanced.

"We have pictures where teams have put three men on him. Of course, when they do that they're leaving something else open." When somebody does that, Osseo has other monstrous linemen.
