THE SUNDW ST -BULLETIN ADVERTISER G-2 Honolulu, Dec. 5, 1971 hal wood Sports Editor yxjfyiit i i it 1 4. 1 a a Nebraska against Hawaii. I The camera catches panoramic sweep of 23,002 fans uskers husk it was a grand week of sports Okay, men. Back to the old salt mines.

Get out that pick and shovel. Push that pencil, tote that garbage. Resume those dock negotiations. Get on with the Christmas shopping. And, mom, get busy with the poi pounder.

The greatest two weeks in Hawaii sports history is over and, would you believe it? the Rainbows won three out of four. Not bad when you consider we're a little ol' isle 'way out here in the middle of the Pacific, really just boys playing with the men. But we're growing up. Of course, our Bows were edged a little by Nebraska, the No. 1 ranked team in the nation, on the football grid last night.

But, so what? It was an honor just to be on the same field with that gang of bruisers. But just eight days ago Coach Dave Holmes' well-tuned band of Bows upset a high-powered New Mexico offense. And on the basketball boards Thursday and Friday coach Red Rocha introduced the 1971-72 edition of his court magicians and they licked Oregon State both times. The fact that the Beavers are considered a good bet to win the Pac-8 Conference this year didn't seem to bother Bob Nash Co. at all.

They just swept them off the boards in the opener. And got too careful in the second before pulling out a squeaker. and now for the basketball If you think the football season was interesting, stick around for basketball. The Bows have sort of a "breather" this week against Linfield. The Wildcats scored only 109 points in winning their opener and these days that's what we call a breather.

Then comes Florida State, ranked 13th in the nation by Sports Illustrated. After that the Rainbow Classic, in which our team opens against Northwestern of the Big Ten. The other possible competition could be the likes of Arizona State, which tromped on U.S.C. in the opener; Minnesota, Temple, California and Texas Christian. No breathers there at all.

The demand for tickets is worse than for the Nebraska game, if that's possible. "If we can work something out, I think we'll have to televise most of the major home games," says University of Hawaii athletic director Paul Durham. "Not the Linfield series. But we have bids out for Florida State. And the Rainbow Classic." The rest of the home schedule isn't quite as inviting Pepperdine, Redlands, U.S.

International, Oklahoma City and San Diego State. If the Bows can work through the schedule with reasonable success, however, they'll be in line for a bid to the NCAA championships. Or at least the N.I.T. in New York. This looks like a bigger, better and stronger squad than the one that rolled through the opposition last year.

Nash is huskier and faster than ever before. He's a better outside shot. And is smarter. Penebacker, the jumping jack Dwight Holiday put on at least a pound and one-half and may have more stamina this year, while losing none of his speed. Jerome Freeman has all the tricks he had last year, plus a few new ones.

Al Davis, 6-7 and stronger than ever, is going to be a monster on the boards. And that John Penebacker still jumps like he had springs in his shoes. In the second Oregon State game a ball bounced high off the rim and was coming down near the free-throw line, where Steve Ericksen, 6-11, of the Beavers, and Nash, 6-8, were jumping at it. Penebacker, with a running start, leaped about 12 feet up there and took if away from both of 'em. And he stands 6-2, or would if you didn't count that four-inch Afro haircut.

And to show you that Nash has a bit of spring in his legs, too, in the second Beaver game he was running for the ball when Fred Boyd of Oregon State retrieved it and crouched down. Nash, to avoid a collision, leaped clear over the head of Boyd, who happens to stand only 6-2. The crowd acted as if it had just seen someone jumping over the moon. No gravity. Yes, sir.

It could be a jivin' and jumpin' season for the Bows.

However, on third down and with only a few seconds left his pass on the goal line was intercepted by Bob Terrio. The half ended, at 24-3.

The powerful Huskers rolled up 481 yards, slightly better than thsir year long average of 433.7. Jeff Kinney was the leading ground gainer with 56 yards in 16 carries, but the Big Red passed the work around and had 10 different ball packers. Dennis Wyckoff, who carried the ball 10 times, was top ground gainer for UH with 27 yards. The Nebraska defense apparently keyed on Larry Sherrer and held him to a net of 15 yards in 14 carries. Biscotti had the hot hand in the aerial department for the Bows completing 11-18 for 171 yards.

(UPI) Northwestern pulled away in the second half of a sloppily played game last night to post a 76-65 basketball victory over Ohio University. Northwestern was paced by center Barry Hentz who scored 22 points but played little more than half the game and led 21-28 at the half.

Mark Sibley added 20 and Rick Sund got 18 for the Wildcats. Bob Howell led Ohio with 16. Husker quarterback Jerry Tagge (14) fires perfect strike to Jeff Kinney right over the outstretched arms of Rainbow defender Gene Bickford (65). awau, Continued from G-l after Sanger kicked the ex tra point, it was 10-0 Husk-ers with 8:59 to go. That was break number two.

Hawaii, as coach Dave Holmes had predicted, was able to move the ball against the Huskers at least between the 20 yard stripes. The Bows put on a sustained drive after the kickoff, marching to the Nebraska 27. Then, the big Cornhusk-ers defense, anchored by Rich Glover and Larry Ja-cobson, stopped them cold. Sovio tried a 43-yard field goal but it was a couple of feet short. NEBRASKA took the ball on its own 20 and Tagge didn't waste any time fooling around this time.

He passed an aerial of about 20 yards to Jerry List and the slippery end scooted the rest of the way on an 80-yard play for a touchdown with no Rainbows near him to make it 17-0 at the quarter. During that stretch Hawaii's defensive men, overanxious to get at the ball packers, were running into each other. But they settled down in the second period. This time Biscotti was at the helm and he took the Bows on a 59-yard march to the Nebraska eight. The big play in this one was a pass over the middle to Mahi who bowled over a couple of Nebraska defenders and made it to the eight before being pulled down by Dan Anderson.

ONCE AGAIN the Nebraska defense held and after three downs Hawaii was back on its 15. Sovio came in and kicked a 29-yard field goal. That closed the gap to 17-3 with 6:30 left on the clock. But the Cornhuskers came marching back. They took the ball on their own 41 and in eight plays, including a 15-yard clipping penalty, made it to the UH 12.

From there Tagge found a huge hole at tackle and went in for the score to make it 24-3 with 2:40 remaining. Biscotti took the Bows on another march from his own 25 with passes to Mahi and Roger Parkman carrying to eber captures bowling lead Dick Weber's 227-plus pins per game was good enough for first place after 18 games in the third annual PBA Invitational held last night at Waialae Bowl.

Oregon, led by the outside shooting of 6-foot-9 Rusty Blair and Doug Little, narrowed the margin to 37-31 with a little over 14 minutes remaining in the second half, by outscoring the Buckeyes, 15-7. Bob Siekmann, the Buckeyes' second leading scorer with 14 points, then came off the bench and rallied Ohio State to a 54-39 lead with six minutes to play. Marquette triumphs MILWAUKEE. Wis. CUPI) The Marquette shook off a stubborn Bowling Green team midway in the second half last night and went on to post their second consecutive win this season, 84-64.

The Warriors committed several turnovers in the first half and led by only four points, 42-38, at the half. But Marquette came out with a perfect defense in the second half and scored the first eight points to open up a 50-38 lead. Bob Lackey led Marquette scoring with 24 points. Marcus Washington had 20.

The Spartans received a well balanced scoring effort with center Bill Kilgore adding 20 points and forward Al Smith hitting the nets for 13 more. Andy Denny had 28 points to pace South Alabama. In the first game Ken House's tap-in with three seconds left gave Seton Hall an 81-80 upset victory over Harvard. MIKE CORGAN, Husker backfield coach, has been buying something different tropical plants. For Nebraska? Certainly.

He has a friend in Lincoln who has built an indoors tropical garden and they are going to see if they can raise tropical plants back in the snow country.

"As a retirement gift, the paper gave me a trip to Hawaii," says the real Ramblin' Rose. "The hospitality here has been great. The people are so courteous.

I hope they don't Westernize these people so they get like ours." MEMO TO the vice squad: Not only were tickets to the Nebraska-Hawaii football game being scalped, but there was a report that tickets to the Nebraska luau were being scalped? To a luau? ALL YEAR LONG Bruce Spinks has been covering University Hawaii sports for the Advertiser and has been looking forward to the past week: U.H. vs. Nebraska in football, U.H. vs. Oregon State in basketball.

So what happened: Bruce is in the hospital, suffering from a strep throat and possible diphtheria. Missed 'em all. But he was well enough to sit up and watch last night's massacre on TV. AFTER THE GAME, coach Devaney and players a plane for iMami, to be in on the filming for the Kodak Coaches Ail-American grid team. AND THERE'S a report flying around (true) that Hawaii is negotiating with Nebraska for a home-and-home arrangement in the near future.

The contract already has been written for a game in Lincoln in 1978. Now there are negotiations under way for one in the new stadium here in 1976. What? The Bows haven't had enough of the Cornhuskers yet?.
