today. Tommy's Angels make their second tourney appearance at 12:30 p. m. Monday. The fireballing Abts doled out a run and two hits to Joliet (the Chicago Metro champion) in the first frame, then retired 19 of the last 20 batters to face him including 14 straight.

Chester Bowles beat out a bunt and continued to second on an error to open the game for Joliet. John Randolph singled to center to produce the run. Thereafter, the only semblance of a hit off Abts was a sixth-inning single by loser Woody Croom. Croom, a right-hander, pitched well after his rugged first inning but the damage had been done. Tom Handlon led off for The Bar with a triple to right center.

After Pat Hammond whiffed, Charlie Ebert singled to left for the tying run. Dennis DeLorit flied out, but? Tom Hummel singled off the pitcher's glove, the ball caroming past the shortstop. John Nowak, who finished a 3-for-3 evening, came up with what proved to be the game-winning hit, a single to left. The end came early for Tommy's, the Wisconsin championship unit. Dubuque's Len Rhomberg led off the first inning by coaxing loser Diz Neitzel for a walk.

Bob Stambazze, drilled a run-scoring single to center Friday night to break up a dramatic scoreless extra-inning duel against Jack's Rose Hill, of Little Chute, Friday night in the World Softball Tournament. A super opening-night crowd of approximately 6,000, which greeted the return of the International Softball Congress-sponsored classic after a 2-year absence, watched another Wisconsin team Tommy's Angels, of Oshkosh meet the same fate as Jack's.

The Bar, of Green Bay, was the only one of three state teams to come through with a victory. The Bar rode the 3-hit, 10-strikeout pitching of lefty Larry Abts to a 2-1 victory over Joliet, III. Tommy's, alone of the Wisconsin trio, to make a battle of it, succumbing, 7-0, to Dubuque, la. The game was called after five innings because of the ISC rule which says that a team ahead by seven runs in the fifth inning will be declared the winner. The Jack's Ft.

Wayne Remodeling battle was a nail-biter all the way. Winner Bob Schild, who allowed but two hits in the 8-inning confrontation, and loser Jack Coenen both pitched brilliantly. Coenen toughed his way out of one jam after another until the breakthrough in the bottom of the eighth. Leadoffman John Fast drew one of the five walks dished out by Coenen. Steve Gaskill sacrificed him to second.

Stambazze, who had batted for Denny Overman in the sixth and bounced meekly to the pitcher, rapped the ball just out of Coenen's reach into center field, and Fast had no trouble legging it home with the gilt-edged run. The right-handed Schild powered his way past the host Rose Hill team in hit-less fashion for the first six innings, In that span, only two runners Jim Ste-ger and Toby Meredith reached base, both on walks. Schild retired 14 men in a row in one stretch. In the top of the seventh, Jack's had its big opportunity to end it in regulation time. With one out, Carl Bowers was hit by a pitch.

Arlie Pues wrecked Schild's nohitter by blasting one off the second baseman's glove, and the ball rolled into center field, sending Bowers scampering to third. However, Gary Weigman popped to the third baseman, and Mark Christianson flied to center. The hosts made one more bid in the seventh, as Coenen whistled a 1-out single to left, but Hank Peerenboom hit into a fielder's choice, and Steger fanned. Ft. Wayne left 11 runners on base in the first seven innings.

Coenen got Dick Taylor on an infield out with the bases loaded in the third and stifled 2-on threats in the first, fourth and seventh. Coenen struck out seven, while Schild kd off artist at work first half of their exhibition football game Friday night.

Price lined his hit to center to score the run. The Post-Crescent Saturday, August 23, 19755 Harry Krahn belted a 3-run homer over the center field fence, at the 250-foot mark. Things got no better fast for Neitzel and the Angels. He hit the first two Dubuque batters in the second, and both scored without benefit of a hit.

A walk to Krahn, a wild pitch by reliever Larry Rackow and an infield hit by Dan Mellon boosted the lead to 6-0 in the third. Dan Hammel tripled and scored on a fly ball for the final run in the fifth. Pat Reiter, the winner, breezed along on a 2-hitter.

Alabama files lawsuit against NCAA team limit Geiberger FORT WORTH, Tex. (AP) Al Geiberger, who hadn't planned on playing here, shot a solid 68 and stretched his lead to two strokes Friday as Jack Nick-laus' bid fizzled and failed in the uncompleted second round of the $250,000 Tournament Players Golf Championship. Geiberger, who once received permission to skip this "designated" tournament in which leading players are required to compete, put together a two-round total of 134, six under the grudging par on the Colonial Country Club course. Nicklaus, the defending champion in this ambitious event and the winner of the PGA just two weeks ago, started the day's play only one shot back. But Jack didn't make a birdie in the hot, humid weather, struggled to a five-over-par 75 and fell eight strokes off the pace at 142.

"I didn't make birdie, and I hit it in the water on No. 9," Nicklaus said. "It's that simple." BY ROGER PITT Post-Crescent staff writer Larry Monroe fired a brilliant no-hitter Friday to give the Appleton Foxes a 1-0 victory in the opening game of a "Back-to-School Night" doubleheader with Cedar Rapids at Goodland Field. In the second game, Roy Coulter picked up the victory as his triple and a single by Donn Seidholz accounted for a 4-3 win in 11 innings. Monroe and fellow right hander Chris Knapp have been flirting with a no-hit game the past month going into the fourth, fifth or sixth innings without yielding a hit.

Friday, Monroe had only two smashes which could have thwarted his pitching gm. In one instance, shortstop Scott Richartz made a grab of a hard hit grounder to.his right and on the second -first baseman Johnny Narron snared a liner headed down the right field foul line. Narron didn't even have to move to catch the ball as he was in perfect position. "I did it for my mom and dad," Monroe said, while having ice applied to his elbow. "They've been up several times to see me pitch and I wanted it for them." Monroe had hurled 5y3 innnings of no-hit ball against Wausau in his last outing but twisted an ankle in absorbing a defeat.

His ankle was tightly wrapped for Friday's game. He needed only 81 pitches in setting down the Giants and only three in the seventh as Cedar Rapids batters chased the first pitch. Garret Strong hit a fly ball to center which outfielder Tommy Toman hauled in with relative ease. Toman admitted, later, that he didn't pick the ball up immediately because of the lights and got help from Richartz and Ed Olszta in locating it. "There were two or three smashes which could have been hits," Monroe said.

"The defense was terrific, they saved the no-hitter." Monroe said he used mostly a fastball mixed with a curve, slider and change curve. Monroe lost his perfect game bid in the fourth with a two-out walk to Garret Strong. "I had a 2-2 count and thought I broke a pretty good curve in on him but the umpire didn't see it that way. The next pitch was low," he said. Harris Price was the hitting star of the opener with a two-out single to score Ted Schultz in the fourth.

Schultz TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) The University of Alabama, at the urging of "Bear" Bryant, filed suit in a state court Friday against the National Collegiate Athletic Association challenging the legality of recently adopted rules limiting the size of college football squads. The suit asks relief for Alabama only but Bryant, the Crimson Tide football coach and athletic director, called on others to take similiar action. "This is how Alabama feels," Bryant said of the legal attack on the new rules. "We hope a lot of other schools feel the same way, too.

If some conferences and independence can band together, we can get things done." The new regulations limit to 48 the number of players who can dress out for a road game and to 60 for home games. Bryant informed his players of the suit at a team meeting later in the day and the legendary coach got a standing ovation. "I've been directed by the (Alabama) administration to go ahead (playing) just like we always have," said Bryant. "And we will until they (NCAA) tell me to stop." The Alabama action was lauded almost immediately by a coaches and athletic officials from major football powers, the ones who will be affected the most by the new NCAA legislation. "We support Coach Bryant fully," said Mississippi State Coach Bob Tyler.

The only adverse reaction early to the Alabama suit came from Rutgers, on a triple by Ed Olszta and sacrifice fly by Bob Palmer. Cedar Rapids tied the game off starter Bobby Combs with a single by Terry Lee and double by Strong and went ahead 3-1 in the sixth on a hit by Tom Schoenhaus, sacrifice, walk and line single to center. The Foxes got their first homer at Goodland Field since July 2 to open the seventh as Palmer line a never-in-doubt shot about 370 feet to left. A walk, sacrifice and Price's single tied the game. 1st game Appleton 1 Tomon cf Richartz ss Schultz If Nerone If Narron lb Olszta rf Seidholz 3b Price Thomas 2b Monroe AB 3 3 3 0 3 3 2 1 2 2 RBI 0 0 Totals Cedar papids 0 Moore cf Bhagwat rf Strong If Sosser lb Cash 2b Lee 3b DeLosSantos ss Benedetti Cline Woodbrey ph Thompson Hodges dr RBI Totals 21 Cedar Rapids Appleton Sasser.

Wild P. Cline. 1:13. Safe on bunt play Price also delivered a key pinch hit in the night cap with two out in the seventh and the tying run at third. Appleton took a 1-0 lead in the second B-l whose athletic director, Fred Gruni-nger, said, "As a member of the NCAA abiding by legislative action, we would support the action taken by the membership.

This is a real progressive move by the membership in order to bring about some economy measures." Even though Bryant's stand won praise from many, no school was ready to immediately say it would take a similiar step. The suit, filed in circuit court here, asks that the NCAA be enjoined from enforcing the new rules adopted at last week's special convention in Chicago as long as athletes involved were under scholarship contracts entered into prior to Aug. 15. It was this portion of the attack that drew the only comment from an NCAA official. John Fuzak of Michigan State, the NCAA president, called it "curious terminology" because the NCAA always has maintained that players on scholar-' ships were not under contract.

A preliminary hearing on the suit is scheduled for next Friday. The suit was filed by Paul Skidmore, attorney for the University of Alabama. But Bryant said the suit was his idea. Bryant said he feels the NCAA rule would violate assurances made in good faith and based on facts and past practice at Alabama. In essence, the suit asked that the ruling not be retroactive insofar as athletes already on scholarship are concerned.

It would have the effect of delaying enforcement of squad limitations for four years. Then zeroing in on what is apparently his biggest concern, he added, "We have not blocked yet the way we need to." Finally, the game might offer some of the Packer newcomers their first chance to see combat. Halfback Terry Wells, claimed on waivers last week from Houston, might get an extended test. And tackle Randy Jackson, defensive tackle Paul Linford and linebacker Ron Hornsby might also be played in spots. The starting lineup will be the same as last week and the veterans will continue to be spelled relatively early.

John Hadl will open at quarterback, but Jerry Tagge and Carlos Brown are scheduled to appear. Injuries will probably sideline quarterback Jack Concannon and running back Larry Krause. Defensive back Charlie Hall, who is listed as doubtful, but did practise Friday. And, obviously, linebacker Jim Carter is still out with a broken leg, although he started to jog again late this week. But otherwise all of the regulars are apparently healthy.

And ditto for Cincinnati. Wide receiver Issac Curtis and cornerback Lemar Par-rish are both slated to return after bouts with injuries. Newcomers may see action when Bays, Bengals clash -lift Y' CINCINNATI Come on. You mean to tell me, Bart Starr, you're not deathly worried? You're just going to go on being your old, unflappable self? Don't you know what happens to people who appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated? Well, then let me give you a clue. The lucky ones, and remember I said the lucky ones.

They trip over the last hurdle and bellyflop into the cinders. They collapse from exhaustion and stumble out-of-bounds at the two-yard line. They break a leg racing around third. There are some people who actually believe the magazine practices sorcery. SI has created more heroes and cost more races, games and pennants than all the black cats in the world.

So Bart how can you really expect very much when your Green Bay Packers face the Cincinnati Bengals tonight kickoff is 7 p.m. with a live telecast on WLUK-TV-at Riverfront Stadium? "(Because) I'm not superstitious." Is that your undaunted reply? "(Yes), I think it shows a lack of confidence if you have to put your shoes on a certain way to win. I don't believe In those things." And besides you've been on the cover of SI three times before, haven't you? And you're still healthy, robust and suc- cessful right? Well, have it your way then. Keep your composure in another crisis, as you've always done, and take a look at the game from the serious side. "Not only is this game going to be a real test for our players, but it will be a personal honor for me to be coaching against Paul Brown," said Starr.

Brown has been a professional coach for 27 years and has compiled an enviable 211-108 record. For Starr, this will be his third game, all exhibition, and so far his record is an unblemished 2-0. Also, the Bengals loom as a potential playoff.team and even though they are 1-2 in the pre-season, they are coming off an impressive 38-28 win over Buffalo. The score at halftime was 28-7. "They looked extremely sharp against Buffalo," said Starr.

"We've been extremely impressed with them. They, scored 28 points in the first half and they did it with great precision. It was one of the finest displays of offensive football I've seen in a long while." Starr, meanwhile, is satisfied with his own team's record, but not its performance. "We're happy to win," he explained. "But we want to play well and win, and we haven't done that.

So we don't have anything to be pleased about." i I Kimberly. Catcher Toby Meredith of Jack's has the ball and is throwing to first which was covered by Mark Christianson (in the background).
