(AP) -J Cool Pete Brown and consistent Bert Yancey took the third round lead in the $50,000 Port- land Open golf tournament Sat- urday as second round leader Bob Goalby fell a stroke behind. Brown scored his second ea- gle of the tournament on the way to a three-under-par 69 and a 54 hole total of 204. With him at 12 under par was Yancey, who fired his third straight 68 on the 6,436 yard Columbia- Edgewater course. Billy Casper, a three-time winner at Portland, repeated his fine 67 of opening day and was tied with Goalby for third. Goal- by shot a 71 Saturday after two straight 67s.

However, defending champion Jack Nicklaus gave the crowd its biggest thrill. After two lack- luster rounds of even par he opened up with five birdies on the first six holes and finished with a 65. That left him five strokes be- hind going into Sunday's final round on the par 72 course. Brown, the 30-year-old Los Angeles pro who has been in contention all the way, dropped in short birdie putts on the sec- ond, 10th and Uth holes. Then he eagled the 510-yard 12th with the No.

wood drive and a 10-foot putt. At that point, he wai 14 under par. But he went over on two of the last three holes, being bur- ied deep in a trap on par- three 16th and then hitting short on his approach to the 394-yard 18th hole. It rained during the afternoon round, and Brown said the weather bothered him. Yancey, 28-year-old Florida pro who has been putting mag nificently throughout the tour nament, chipped in from 25 fee for one birdie and made shor putts for the others.

Yancey has taken only 77 putts in three rounds, giving him an excellent chance to break the year's record of 112 for 72 holes. Goalby had some bad luck on the greens, missing four putts on the back side. Casper said he never made a putt over four feet, but did aU.tne little ones. the TD.

There were only a few scat- tered boos when Dietzel, who coached LSU to the 1958 nation- al championship but broke his contract three years later to go to West Point, brought his Gamecocks on the field. Instead the student body be- gan to chant, "Tiger bait," and the cry was picked up by most of the 67,512 partisan fans. South Carolina punts blocked twice within a span of two minutes in the third quar- ter. The first one was turned into a LSU touchdown when sophomore George Bevan re- covered the bouncing ball in the end zone. Dietzel had his junior quarter- back, Mike Pair, operating from a shotgun spread at times, and down in the first quarter before' LSU's defense boxed in Fair and his receivers.

Six times they fumbled in the) second half and once they had pass interception. The Cavaliers their offense sputtering most of the day cashed in on two of the opportunities in the final quarter. Davis marshalled a 70-yarrl drive in six plays early in the period and capped it with one of his patented roll-out runs a jitterbugging 21-yarder, for the go-ahead touchdown. Another fumble recovery oa he Deacon's 16-yard line late ia the game set up a 13-yard touch- down run by sophomore halfback Frank Quayle, the Cavalier's leading ground-gainer with 63 yards in 17 carries. For a half, Wake Forest had used a bruising ground game, led by sophomore halfback Jim- my Johnson, to neutralize Vir- ginia's spasmodically effective aerial game.

Johnson, who carried the ball 20 times for 86 yards, was tha workhorse of a 50-yard march gave Wake Forest a 7-0 lead early in the second period He caught a 12-yard pass and ran five times for 24 yards to set up a 23-yard touchdown pass from Jon Wilson to Ken Henry. George Stetter returnetl the ensuing kickoff 52 yards to tha Wake Forest 32, and it took tha Cavaliers just three plays to tie the score with Davis throwing the last 15 yards to Quayle. A pass interception by Stetter set up a 27-yard field goal by Braxton Hill for Virginia, but a 37-yard three-pointer by Chick George tied it for the Deacons with 22 seconds left in the half. Johnson had 77 yards in 15 carries for Wake Forest in the first half, but he was used only sparingly in the second half after fumbling the ball away twice. Davis completed 12 of 25 passes for 206 yards for Virginia.

Missouri Gains Convincing 24-0 Win Over Minnesota By JIM VAN VALKENBURG Associated Press Sports Writer COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) Missouri's new quarterback, Gary Kombrink, used pinpoint passing to break open the game, then turned it over to power runner Barry Lischner to wrap up a convincing 24-0 victory over Minnesota Saturday. Missouri was fortunate to es- cape with a 3-0 halftime edge. The Golden Gophers dominated the half with the running and passing of quarterback Curtis Wilson and had an 82-yard i touchdown pass to end Ken Last nullified.

A 42-yard field goal by Bin Bates with just 1:14 left provid- ed the halftime edge. But the Tigers, Sugar Bowl champions, struck swiftly from tne second half kickoff 71 yards in six plays, with Kombrink pulling the trigger on a 10-yard pass to end Jim Juras and a 46- yarder to halfback Earl Denny to set up the touchdown. Charlie Brown, Missouri's squirmy halfback who had been well contained in the first half got the nine-yard touchdown' Bates kicked for a 10-0 bulge. End Dan Schuppan and tackle Bill Powell swarmed Wilson for a loss on Minnesota's first poss- ession, and the Missouri nass 1 (defense held Wilson without a completed pass on the next one. Then the Tigers moved 61 yards for the clinching touch- down.

They rammed the ball town to Minnesota's eight yard line, with the 206-pound Lisch- ner battering 25 yards in four trips, knocking down friend and foe alike. Missouri switched to a bit of trickery to get the touchdown. Kicker Bates, an ex-quarter- back, took a lateral from Kom- brink, then flipped an eight-yard running pass to split end Chuck Weber alone in the end zone. Kombrink was eight for eight for 78 yards. Wilson ripped the Tiger de- fense for 83 yards in 18 trips, 70 in the first half, but penalties ruined his two best passes, the 82-yarder and an 18-yarder to Hubie Bryant which reached the Tigers' 28 in the first period.

Missouri linebacker Joha Douglas got the last TD on a 23- yard pass interception run ia the final minute of play.
