Page 4B. It was a sweet victory for Roger Craig and Jamie Williams. Page 4B. Huskers gleefully avenged last season's 10-7 loss in Iowa City. Gill found Irving Fryar for a 41 -yard scoring pass late in the opening quarter and Craig scored on a 6-yard jaunt to make it 21-0 midway through the second quarter.

The half was going to end that way, or so it seemed. Through the first 18 minutes of play the Hawks at least had not self-destructed. Then they committed their first error, center Jay Ililgenberg snapping the ball over Long's head from the shotgun formation. The play began on the Iowa 29, and when the ball finally stopped rolling Husker defensive end Wade Prae uner pounced on it in the end zone. "I've never seen Hilgy make a bad snap before, and he had a couple of others today," Fry moaned.

"But that was par for the course today I guess." FRY APPEARED drained more from the pounding his players took than the 84-degree heat. "It's hard to say anything complimentary when you have been beaten like we were," he said when asked to reveal signs of encouragement. True, and even a resurgence in the second half was tempered. For all of the third quarter the Hawks battled Nebraska scoreless, and went up 7-0 in the second half when Tom Grogan replaced Long and led a nice 89-yard drive, which he capped with a 4-yard TD run. Two nice catches by tight end Mike Hufford, a 33-yard run by reserve tailback Owen Gill and a roughing the kicker call on Nebraska kept the drive alive.

Tom Nichol, seeing his only duty of the day, made it 28-7 with the conversion after Grogan's touchdown. Earlier in the half Long engineered one promising drive, moving the club from Iowa's 20 to Nebraska's 33 in just five plays. Cornerback Allen Lyday intercepted HAWKS Please turn to Page 4B LINCOLN, Neb. When Iowa Coach Hayden Fry walked his weary body out of Memorial Stadium here late Saturday afternoon, he probably never looked back af the structure. Fry has seen enough of Memorial Stadium.

More specifically, he's seen enough of Nebraska's football team here. The third-rated Cornhuskers toyed with the Hawk-eyes before breezing to a 42-7 victory in the season opener for both clubs. Two years ago the score here was 57-0 Nebraska. The two-year total in Big Red country: Nebraska 99, Iowa 7. The 1980 defeat stunned the then-optimistic Hawks and temporarily derailed Fry's rebuilding drive.

Hawk fans can only hope this lose will not be as demoralizing. WHAT FRY hoped to see was a young scrappy club with promise. For the first 20 minutes he saw nothing but a young club terribly outmatched. "We left a lot to be desired," Fry said, noting how easily Nebraska raced out to a 28-0 lead at halftime. "Our offense was terrible the first half.

Our defense wasn't that great either." One statistic illustrates how completely the llusk-ers dominated in quarters one and two. Nebraska had 250 total yards at intermission; Iowa had 1. Iowa also managed just one first down before half-time, that coming on a scramble by quarterback Chuck Long on the final play of the half. "It seemed like they were just all over us," said Long, the Chicago-area sophomore who made his first start. "We couldn't run and we couldn't pass." NEBRASKA DID BOTH very well.

Mike Rozier and Roger Craig, the former Davenport Central flash, lugged the football with authority and quarterback Turner Gill passed with the necessary zip. The first time the tuskers had the ball they went 80 yards in 13 plays with reserve fullback Doug Wilkening plowing into the end zone from the three. The Hawk-eyes should have packed their bags then and there and boarded the plane back for Iowa City. It would have saved considerable embarrassement. But they stayed and the rout continued, as the Nebraska running back Roger Craig of Davenport picks up a first down before being hit low by Iowa's Ron Hawley (19) and high by Iowa's Dave Strobel (79).

He also was perfect on two extra points following touchdowns by Mitchell Brookins and Joe Curtis. Sigourney, aided by a strong wind at times, punted six times for a 50.8-yard average to keep the Spartans pinned down deep in their own territory. Included were a 66-yarder into the end zone and a 67-yarder that was downed at the one. Almost overlooked was a near-record 61-yard field goal by Michigan State's Ralf Mojsiejenko.

The kick was the second longest in Big Ten history. The Spartans' Morton Andersen kicked one of 63 yards last season against Ohio State. Illini quarterback Tony Eason won the statistical battle with his Michigan State adversary. Eason, for the eighth time in the 13 games he has played for Illinois, eclipsed the 300-yard barrier, connecting on 25 of 41 passes for 301 yards and a touchdown. MSU's John Leister was 16 of 37 for 257 midfield as the crowd and players sat hushed.

McVay was taken to the hospital where he died about thirty minutes later. "Something like what happened today brings a person back to reality and makes you realize this is only a an insignificant game." a subdued White said following the game. "Obviously, my heart-felt condolences and that of the University of Illinois go out to Mr. McVay's family and friends." WHITE, WHO takes his team on the road for the first time next Saturday at Syracuse, praised the way his team fought of adversity when it appeared the Spartans might score at the finish. "This had to be one of our most courageous games," he said.

"We won with a great kicking game. The defense was able to come up with the big play when we needed them." The kicking game revolved around place-kicker Mike Bass and punter Chris Sigourney. Bass, who won the Michigan State yards and one SOME PEOPLE, including White, would tell you the one interception Leister threw was the game's turning point. Michigan State had scored early in the third period to grab a 16-13 lead, got the ball back and was driving for another possible touchdown when the mini's Craig Swoop picked of a pass and returned it 40 yards to the Spartan 39. Three plays later, Illinois went in front on Curtis' smash over the middle from two yards out.

The touchdown was set up by Mike Martin making a brilliant diving catch on a play covering 37 yards. "Our offense and defense had been struggling so I knew we needed a big play," Martin said. "I saw Tony (BCason) scrambling, and so I just wanted to get into the open and I hoped he would get it to me. "I thought if anybody could make the catch on a throw like that, it would ILLINI Please turn to Page 6B CHAMPAIGN, 111. Illinois Coach Mike White called Saturday's football game with Michigan State an "emotional rollercoaster." And that it was, with the Ilini finally hanging on to escape with a 23-16 victory Saturday at Memorial Stadium before a throng of 66,152 fans.

Michigan State reached Illinois' seven-yard line with just over a minute left before being repelled. The win sent Illinois to the top of the Big Ten Conference heap with a 2-0 record, coming on the heels of last week's success against lowly Northwestern. This was Michigan State's opener. Besides the usual emotional peaks and valleys, the two and an ABC regional television audience had to watch helplessly when referee Richard McVay collapsed with a massive heart attack with just over ten minutes left in the second quarter. Emergency personnel worked on McVay for over fifteen minutes near Jimmy Connors celebrates his semifinal victory.

He lost his Wimbledon title to Connors in July. The New York left-hander was as much to blame for his demise as Lendl.

McEnroe's volleys often were long, and his serve, the key to his whole game, was off, despite 16 aces. LendL meanwhile, was in peak form, finding the corners and the lines with his ferocious forehand and making infrequent but successful forays to the net. The Czech right-hander rallied from a 2-5 deficit in the decisive third-set tiebreaker and won it 8-6 when McEnroe's cross-court backhand sailed wide. Lendl has never won a Grand Slam event and had reached the final of one only once before. Lloyd won her sixth women's singles crown at U.S.

Open Tennis Championships." Lloyd, her path cleared when lop-seeded Martina Navratilova and defending champion Tracy Austin were upset earlier in the week, needed just 64 minutes to dispose of liana Mandli- kova of Czechoslovakia, 6-3, 6-1. Lend! seeded third in America's premier tennis event, will meet Jimmy Connors in today's men's singles final, to be nationally televised on CBS starting at 3 p.m. CDT. Connors, the No. 2 seed, gained the final with a 6-1, 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 triumph over fourth-seeded Guillermo Vilas of Argentina.

McEnroe, the world's No. 1 ranked player who now has lost his last six gave up the interception after Reveiz kicked his last field goal, and tailback Harold Brown's fumble set up the kick. Still, there were some good things that happened. One of them was Archer. "I thought David Archer did some good things in that he moved the team and we had an opportunity to win the game," Iowa State Coach Donnie Duncan.

"We played very emotional. It was a hard-fought game." The junior college transfer hit 8-of-20 passes for 118 yards. "I was impressed by the way Archer played for Iowa State in his first start," added Johnny Majors, the Tennessee coach who coached at Iowa State from 1968-1972. "Iowa State did some excellent things." Reveiz's performance overshadowed an outstanding display by new tailback Tommy Davis, a sophomore from East St. Louis who has taken over the spot of departed bulldozer Dwayne Crutchfield.

Davis broke loose for 169 yards, 75 coming on a touchdown scamper. Brown, a junior college transfer, CYCLONES Please turn to Page 4B in front 21-20 after nailing a 21-yar-der with 9:23 remaining. He also had a 32-yarder in the second period. The loss was a big disappointe-ment for the Cyclones, who had Tennessee on the ropes after two 80-yard drives in the second half. Iowa State had more first downs and many more yards 397 to 266.

The problem was that not enough of the yards came when needed. Turnovers also caused problem. ISU lost three fumbles and an interception with two of the miscues coming in the closing minutes. New quarterback David Archer KNOXVILLE, Tenn. The speed of the Tennessee football team that Iowa State had heard so much about was nothing compared to the thunder-footed kicker Fuad Reveiz.

Reveiz booted two fourth-quarter field goals, the second a pressure-packed 52-yarder with 4 minutes, 18 seconds remaining Saturday night as the Volunteers edged Iowa State 23-21 before 90,201 in Neyland Stadium.
