(UPI) Coach Tom Osborne was admittedly pleased with the way his Nebraska football team handled what was supposed to be a fairly strong Indiana club Saturday, but cautioned "there will be tougher ones down the road." In what turned out to be a the Cornhuskers waylaid Indiana, 454, and waited only seconds into the contest to give an indication 5 how it would all end several hours later. On the first play from Scrimmage, Dave Butterfield Htyicked off a Terry Jones pass iibn the Nebraska 47 to.set up a 3 10-play drive for Nebraska's jj first touchdown.

Only once in the game did ij defense let the get close and even didn't give up any points 5 a field goal try by Frank sailed wide of its 'mark in the second quarter. That was after Nebraska had put 10 points on the board on a one-yard run by quar- terback Terry Luck and a 22- 5j yard field goal by Al Eveland. Luck' stayed in midway jg-jhrough third period by TOM HEISER connected on 12 of 17 passes for 130 yards. Osborne said he felt a lot better about his team's of- fense, which struggled mightily to score 10 points against LSU, and lauded the Osborne said both the defense and offense have to keep improving because Nebraska will meet some "great" football teams in the weeks ahead. But Texas Christian, which comes to Lincoln Saturday, bus been defeated in its first two games and will be a heavy underdog.

"It laltes more than one game to find out what kind of team you have," Coach Al Onofrio said. "We came back in the second half and BY JOE CARNICEULI UPI Sports Writer Coach Tom Landry of the Dallas Cowboys certainly has a funny vocabulary. To him, rebuilding means going out and knocking off a club with Super Bowl credentials. Landry's Cowboys did just that Sunday, engineering the biggest upset of the National Football League's opening day with an 18-7 triumph over las Angeles Rams. All through the summer, Landry has been telling people this is a rebuilding year for the Cowboys.

After all, hadn't Calvin Hill defected to the World Football League and hadn't Walt Garrison, his partner in the backfield, retired? Wasn't Bob Lilly, one of the greatest defensive linemen in NFL history, retired, along with All Pro safety Cornell Green and Dave Manders? And wasn't guard John Niland traded away to make room for a rookie? "I can't remember the Cowboys ever playing a better game," said linebacker Lee Roy Jordan, a 13-year veteran. "I think we were a great ball club out there. We played with enthusiasm. i That's what I like about this club. We've got a young club of enthusiasm.

And that includes me because I think I young." "They just whipped our rears," said Los Angeles Coach Chuck Knox. "They did nothing in the secondary to confuse our passing game. They were just the better a a i a on defense." The Cowboys held James Harris to only one completion in 10 attempts and sub Ron Jaworski put together the only scoring drive. Fritsch hit on field goals of 25,39,19 and 31 yards and Doug Dennison plunged a yard for Dallas' only TD.

(UPI) team captain 'Arnold Palmer. "The only thing different was a few points one way or the other," said Palmer of the 21-11 victory Sunday over the British-Irish team at Laurel Valley Golf Club. "Both teams enjoyed it (the matches) but certainly it's no fun when you get wiped out before the final 18 holes." The United States won the Ryder Cup as expected Sunday, but the day had its triumphs for the British and Brian Barnes in A 5-3' edge in the morning singles gave the Americans a big in to edge, but the British-Irish team recouped some glory in the afternoon, winning 4 to 3te. Barnes, a strapping pipe- smoking Scotsman, defeated Jack Nicklaus 4 and 2 in the morning and again in the afternoon, 2 and 1. Another double winner for the British was Peter Oosterhuis, who defeated Johnny Miller 2-up and J.

C. Snead 3 and 2. Oosterhuis remained unbeaten in Ryder Cup singles play with five victories and one' tie. Bob Murphy was the only American to win two matches. He defeated Tony Jacklin and Maurice Bembridge by scores of 2 and 1.

Hale Irwin led the U.S. charge with a total of 3 points, getting half of them Sunday in a standoff with Tommy Horton and a 2 and 1 decision over John O'Leary. Two other afternoon matches ended 2 and 1, Britain's Tommy Horton Lou Graham and Norman Wdod a tired Treviho.

Treviho tied with Gallacher, Gene Littler won over Brian Huggett 4 and Bill Casper beat Eamonn Darcy 3 and 2 and Tom Weiskopf with Guy Hunt 5 and 3 in the other morning matches.

Attention centered on Barnes and Nicklaus after the American team cinched the cup victory. "He played badly, I was just lucky," said Barnes after the morning round. "I know I will have to play a damn site better than I did this morning if I meet him this afternoon. Palmer made certain that they would. Palmer admitted he saw Barnes' name on the bottom of the lineup turned, in by British captain Bernard Hunt and quickly scratched in Nicklaus' name at the bottom of his list.

"When I saw he (Nicklaus) got beat this morning I thought he deserved another shot," Palmer said. Barnes made the most of it. Nicklaus led twice by 2 up after the second hole and again after the 10th. But Barnes overtook him both times and earned his final edge with a par at the 190-yard 14th. "I think the American team was a bit jaded after the morning matches," said Wood, and Irwin agreed.
