Blahak promoted to starting team LINCOLN (UPl)-C'oach Bob performed a major of Nebraska's defense hi an- attempt to bolster the Black Shirt unit for the weekend task of slopping powerful Southern California. Moving up to the first team 'were left tackle Larry Jacob- son, right end Wiliie Harper, Jeft end Jolin Adkins and left Joe Blahak. Devaney said the promotions Jacobson, Harper and Blahak would probably remain through Ihe battle with (ho Trojans but he is still undecided whether Adkins' promotion would hold through this week. He said a decision on the left end spot would be made toward Ihe end of the week. The other contenders John Hyland and Doug Johnson.

Bit of Blahak's promotion came as a bit of a surprise since John Decker, who started there against Wake Forest, came in for a bit ot Devaney praise at Monday's Extra Point Club luncheon. Bake Turner retires, Richardson to Dolphins By BOB Dl PIETRO UPI Sports Writer Bake Turner, 30, valuable in a reserve rote over the past seven seasons as a wide receiver for the New York Jets, retired Tuesday in favor of a guitar. Turner, who's been fairly successful as a country and Western singer and who's appeared in that role several times on rational television, wants to concentrate on a recording and night club career. The Jels pared down to the limit by cutting tiu-ee players--offensive lineman Paul Seiler, cornerback Cecil Leo- nard and offensive tackle Tom Bayless--in addition to accept- ing Turner's retirement. The suddenly talent-rich Pit- tsburgh Steel ers traded re- ceiver Willie Richardson to the Miami Dolphins for a high 3971 draft choice.

"Richardson is most when he plays regularly and we not feel that we could use him that basis in Pittsburgh this season," said Sleelers Coach Chuck-Noll. In further roster manipula- lions Tuesday, the Piiiladelpliia Eagles placed seven-year veter- an quarterback George Mira on irrevocable waivers wliile Ben Davis, considered one of the finest cohierbacks in the National Football League until a leg injury slowed him last year, was dropped by the Cleveland Steve Owens, the Heisman Trophy-winning No. 1 draft choice of the Detroit Lions, underwent surgery on his shoulder Tuesday, and halfback Dick Post of the San Diego Chargers, the AFL rushing champ last season with 873 yards, may have to undergo surgery for torn knee cartile- ges. Others on whom waivers were asked were safety Bo Burris, and guard Bob Parker (Eagles); defensive backs Tom Schoen and Dean Brown and running back Charley Liegh (Browns); linebacker Nowatzke, guard Rocky Pasley, defensive tackle Dave Haver- dick and linebacker Ken Geddes (Lions); kicker Jerry Depoys- ter, tight end Mickey McCarty and cornerback Randy Beverly a defensive end Gregg Schumacher, running back Jeff offensive tacklo Lane Howell and Clark Miller, a nine-year veteran (Los Angeles Rams) and wide Leo Jolinson and linebacker Carter Campbell (San Francisco Forty Niners). But Devaney said the switch was made because Blahak is faster than Decker and more speed will be needed against USC's receivers.

'Devaney also said quarter- back Van Brownson's elbow in- jury hasn't gotten any better and it's doubtful he'll be. able to make the California trip. "He (Brownsoh) says the el- bow is more sore now than it was the first week he hurt it and I don't have much, hope tli at he will be De- vaney said, adding that a definite decision would be made Thursday. Runty May Go If Brownson isn't able lo make the trip, the Husker head mentor said, Steve Runty will be added to the traveling roster as the No. 3 quarterback-be- hind veteran Jerry Tagge and sophomore Bob Jones; Tagge has apparently fully recovered from his pulled leg muscle injury and Devancy said he was "near 100 per cent" in Tuesday's practice ses- sion.

other players, who were injured in the Wake Forest game, were also on the doubt- ful list for Saturday's game. Defensive right tackle Tom Robison was nursing a knee in- jury and tight end Bob Wolfe was hobbled by a bad ankle.

By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer The Pittsburgh Pirates feel they won the most important game they have played so far in the three-cornered National League East race. "1 was a Floyd Patterson wins in 10th NEW YORK (UPI)--The doctor was waiting to examine the gash still oozing blood over Floyd Patterson's left eye. But first (lie two-time heavyweight champion had lo convince his mother that (lie cut was jusl a nick.

"It's nothing," he said consoling her. "I never get cut in my fights and this is jusl a cut I got in training a couple of weeks ago, and it got reopened out there." For a few moments, however, as the crowd of nearly 11,000 at Madison Square Garden hooted and booed, it looked like the cut might end Patterson's come- back against Charlie "Devil" Green alter a two-year layoff. Dr. Harry Kleiman stepped into the ring and looked at the cut after it was opened hi the fifth round, but then he let the fight continue. With blood streaming down his cheek, Patterson finally ended the bout himself by knocking out Green with only 63 seconds remaining in the 10th round.

So now it's down to the wire- with all three battling each other to the end of the campaign.

Jn the final action of the season the Cubs will be facing the Mets while the Pirates will be in StMxwis. If iiiere's an.edge in the final weeks you would have a difficult toe naming the team!

per pair Hunting, fishing report LINCOLN (UPD-Nebrasfca-s teal hunters opened fhe 1970 season with better results than expected, according to state game commission reports. Pre-season forecasts promised few teal due to low water in the state's pond 5 and marshes, but gunners managed to locate teal on the limited water available, the commission said. Hunter behavior was good in most areas, except in the south- cast Nebraska area, the com- mission said. Game wardens ob- served hunters shooting at bald- pates, pintails and other non-teal flying by. Warden Dale Brulia of MUford also reported hunters near Branched Oak Reservoir fired some 400 sliofs before legal limiting began at sunrise.

The teal and fishing across Hie slate, according to commis- sion reports, is as follows: PANHANDLE; success varied with good results in Sheridan, Scolls Bluff, Garden 'and-Merrill counties with fair in Box Butte County. Among tiose taking limits of ifoarteal ware ftiyder of Rushville sons, Gene and Ilonald. Top fishing waters in- cluded: West Klmball Reservoir Brown and rainbow trout up to 13 inches on worms. Lake McConaughy--Fair suc- cess at the west end on wliite bass up to one pound on arti- ficials. Lake Ogallala--Good success on 12-inch rainbow trout hitting night crawlers.

SAND HILLS: Teal scare and hunting pressure light. Low wa- ter levels on ponds and marshes may have caused teal to mi- grate ahead of schedule, NORTHEAST: Water scare, but areas with ponds and marshes produced well for teal hunters, especially near Niobra- ra. The high proportion of green-winged teal in bag indi- cates many bluewings may have moved on. Best fishing waters included: Grove Lake 12-inch trout on worms and grasshoppers. Missouri Hiver (Niobrara area)--Sauger up to two pounds on minnows; catfish up Jo five pounds taking frogs.

Lewis and Clark. Lake--Cat- Jish up In live pounds on jug- fislied minnows. Gavins Point Dam tailwafers-- Sauger and white bass on min-- nows. Lake Ericson--Occasional rock bass and bluegill on worms; largemoulh bass up to one pound and occasional northern pike up to three pounds, both on artificials. SOUTHWEST: Hunting pres- sure was light, but success good in western portion of Rainwater Basin area.

Wafer level in rest of area is low and teal numbers are down. Green winged teal made up about half of bag, In- dicating bluewings may have moved out. SOUTHEAST: Success varied, with teal shooting fair on ponds in river valleys fo very good in parts of Rainwater Basin. Pres- sure and success dropped con- siderably on Sunday due to chil- ly, damp weather. Fishing ac- tivity included: Mormon Island stale wayside area--Bass up to two pounds ot) artificials.

Branched Oak Reservoir--Bull- heads up to one pound; occas- ional keeper-sized northern pike. 3,500 Choice and Fancy Sandhills Cattle SPECIAL CONSIGNMENT AUCTION Friday, Sept. 18, Burwell, Nebr.
