es spairkfor Do sioeir wocis hits before he was replaced by George Frazier in the third. Dave Lopes opened the Dodgers' first with a double down the right-field line and Bill Russell followed by pushing a bunt toward second base and beating it out for a hit. Righetti then got tough and looked as if he would get out of the jam by retiring Dusty Baker on a pop to second and striking out the dangerous Steve Garvey. However, Cey, after barely missing a home run when his long drive to left curved foul, guessed right on a fastball on the very next pitch and drilled it into the left-center field bleacntrs to give the Dodgers a 3-0 lead. It was only the second homer hit off Righetti this LOS ANGELES (UPI) Ron Cey took the wind out of the New York Yankees' sails Friday night and once again angered that old shipbuilder, George Stcinbrenner.

Cey, a S-foot-9 fireplug, provided first-Inning spark with a three-run homer and extinguished an eighth-inning threat with a diving catch to lead rookie Fernando Valenzuela and the Dodgers to a 5-4 victory over the Yankees in the third game of the World Series. The Yankees, who still lead the best-of-seven series 2-1, will send right-hander Rick Reuschel to the mound Saturday In the fourth game with the Dodgers countering with right-hander Bob Welch. Cey staked the Dodgers to a 3-0 lead in the first inning when he drilled a Dave Righetti fastball into the left-center field bleachers after two were out, Valenzuela, a life-saver for the Dodgers all season, did not pitch one of his classic games, but blanked the Yankees over the last six innings to get the victory. The 20-year-old Mexican left hander had trouble with his control all game, walking a career-high seven baiers, and was touched for nine hits, including a solo homer by Bob Watson in the second and a two-run blast by Rick Cerone in the third. Valenzuela, who led the National League in strikeouts this season, struck out six and threw more 145 pitches in struggling to the victory.

Fortunately for the Dodgers, the Yankees' rookie sensation, Righetti, had even less stuff than Valenzuela and lasted only until the third. The Dodgers tagged the 22-year-old southpaw for five However, It was his diving catch of pinch hitter Bobby Murcer's foul pop bunt in the eighth. Inning that choked off a Yankee rally and saved the game for the Dodgers. "Cey's play took the wind out of the Yankees," said Dodgers' first baseman Steve Garvey. "It's nice to see the father team suffer on a play at third base." Garvey was referring to outstanding defensive plays of Yankee third baseman Graig Nettles in the 1978 Series against the Dodgers and also in Tuesday night's first game.

The Dodgers had taken a 5-4 lead In the fifth inning on an RBI double by Pedro Guerrero and Mike Scioscia's bases-loaded, double-play grounder, but the Yankees threatened in the eighth when Aurelio Rodriguez and Larry Mil-bourne stroked back-to-back singles with nobody out. Murcer then was sent up to pinch hit for reliever Rudy May and, attempting to move the runners, lined a foul bunt down the third-base line. Cey dove for the ball and snared it for an out and then jumped to his feet and threw back to first to double up Milbourne. Valenzuela then got Willie Randolph to hit a bouncer to Cey, who fielded a tricky hop and tagged Rodriguez, who was coming to third. "The only way I was going to get for the bunt was to dive for it," said Cey.

"I was happy to see that when I did get back to my feet, Milbourne was still way off base. It was a mental error by him but I don't think Rodriguez made a bad play in running to third on Randolph's hit. With two out, he has to be running." Steinbrenner, the Yankees' principal owner, thought both plays were mental lapses by his players and he was not happy. "We lost it on mental errors and that gets me mad as hell," said the fiery Steinbrenner, who blew his team out for making mental mistakes in the American League divisional series against Milwaukee. "Rodriguez made some stupid, mental mistakes and I don't know what the hell Milbourne was doing off the base.

I cant believe he'd be that stupid and Murcer had a real bad bunt. On top of that, the-guy we depend on, Dave Winfield, just isnt hitting. That's real bad." Yankees manager Bob Lemon took the blame for the botched up bunt play. "I wanted Bobby to bunt for a base hit," said Lemon. "I got greedy and it was just one of those things." Triple dead heat at Fairground Steels doesn't want repeat of 1979NU-MUcliffhanger Nebraska-Missouri lineups The eighth race at the State Fairgrounds ended in a rare triple dead heat for win Friday.

I Will Be, One Way and El Lark Rise all hit the wire at the same time. The triple dead heat led to six different exacta payoffs, the largest of which was $12.60, for the combination of numbers two and nine. According to Tom Borros, the Fairgrounds' mutuel manager, the stewards deliberated for approximately 15 minutes before deciding on the dead heat. The official results were further delayed when El Lark Rise's jockey Perry Compton filed a foul claim against One Way for interference in the stretch. The stewards disallowed the claim, letting stand the triple'dead heat.

I Will Be, under jockey Bruce Brown paid $4.80, $5.40, $5.60, while Fred Ecoffey booted One Way home to pay $2.20, $2.40, $2.40. El Lark Rise paid $2.40, $2.40 and $2.60. The races will resume Saturday at the Fairgrounds at 1 p.m. According to Manager Henry Brandt, patrons will be able to watch parts of the Nebraska-Missouri football game during" the races. "We plan to telecast as much of the (Nebraska-Missouri) game as we possibly can on the monitors in our grandstand between races," he said.

Brandt said there are 25-minute intervals between races. He estimated about 15 minutes of that time would be devoted to telecasting the game. "We realize that there are a lot of face fans who are also 'Big Red" fans." Brandt said. "As a matter of fact, I'll be watching as much of the game as I can."

1 wingback still looks at a certain klckoff return through in his sleep. "It's one thing I can never forget. I'd say it sticks out in my mind more than anything I've ever done," Steels said as he prepared to return to the scene of his crime a fumbled kickoff that shook a stadium almost as much as it shook an inexperienced sophomore. "That was my first year, when I was backing up Kenny Brown," Steels recalled. "When it happened, I thought I'd never play again." Fortunately, football players are not judged on one play.

Saturday, Steels will be one of Nebraska's major weapons when the 11th and 15th-ranked Corn-huskers meet Missouri's 16th and 19th-ranked Tigers. Kickoff at Faurot Field has been moved up to 11:50 a.m. to accomodate ABC-TV. The network will televise the game to half the nation as a preliminary to Game 4 in the World Series. Although Steels' family will not see the game in California, he intends to report more impressive accomplishments on his second trip to Old Mizzou.

Steels can reconstruct his blunder from memory. Nebraska was coasting in Columbia, 20-6, before Andy Gibler caught a touchdown pass with 23 seconds left in the third quarter.

When Mizzou's two-point conversion failed, the Huskers were still in command at 20-12. Then it happened, An-. By Ken Hambleton Prep Sports Writer Just when it appeared Lincoln Northeast was ready to fizzle out the rest of the season, the Rockets took off flying again and slammed Lincoln Southeast, 13-0, Friday night before 3,324 fans at Seacrest Field. Northeast appeared to luve lost all steam in suffering through a 15-0 loss to Lincoln East last weekend. Then, last Tuesday, Els sent his team off the practice field early, after going through, "the worst practice we've Pius wins on Page 20 ever had." But the Rockets stampeded through the Southeast defense for 330 yards in total offense, gaining 309 yards on 60 rushes, including touchdown runs of four and six yards by quarterback Mark Diaz to post their fifth win in six games.

First of alL I won $5 on Gordon Winter's selection of Terrage in the fourth race to bring my spending fund up to $129.60. He also told me to put my $2 win bet on Deb's Hasty in the fifth race, and al By Brian Hill Staff Sports Writer It took just one play for Nebraska junior varsity coach Frank Solich to realize that things weren't going to go smoothly for the young Huskers on Friday. David Volejmk's opening kickoff was fumbled by Shane Swanson and Jim Young recovered for the Nebraska at Omaha junior varsity at the NU 10. Four plays later, Terry Evans scored from the one to give UNO a 6-0 lead. That, however, proved to be the Mavericks' only points of the day as Todd Fisher blocked Volejmk's extra-point kick and Nebraska overcame three lost fumbles and 80 yards in penalties to finish its second consecutive unbeaten season with a 22-6 victory before a crowd of 3,543 at Memorial Stadium.

Nebraska's JV finished 5-0 and have now won 11 straight games since a 19-13 loss to Missouri in 1979. "We wanted to end it up with a smoother performance than what occurred, but the kids worked hard enough and played well enough to win," Solich said. "I'm very happy with the overall season. We just made a lot of mental errors today and put ourselves in long-yardage situations. It's ironic, because Turn to: JV, Page 19 i xy i -W A A though that cute mue pony aiant put your Aunt Prissy into the money, she sure tried hard with a third-place finish.

And then, just as I was about ready to leave, there was a triple dead heat in the eighth race! I've been going to the tracks for a long time, and I've never seen one of those. How exciting! For the weekend races, I FREMONT Fremont scored two touchdowns In a 35- second span as the Tigers easily defeated Lincoln High, 36- 7 in prep football action Friday night Fremont scoredon its first possession of the game on a 21-yard field goal by Paul Ronhovde and added two other touchdowns on a seven-yard run by Dan Sawtelle and Tom Renli's 20-yard Interception return of a Dirk Grenemeier pass to take a 17-0 first quarter lead. Lincoln High narrowed the gap to 174 with 3:01 left in the second quarter on Dirk Grenemeier's 67-yard scoring toss to Russ Ehrlich but the Links were unable to mount a serious scoring threat after their initial score. Fremont added two more touchdowns in the second quarter on Ronhovde's 26-yard scamper and Sawtelle's one-yard dive. The only scoring In the second half came on a 20-yard pass from Mark Voss to Bryan Siebler to give Fremont a 36-7 lead in the third quarter.

Voss led Fremont as he completed 11 of 23 passes for 156 yards, while Sawtelle and Ronhovde added 58 and 56 yards on the ground, respectively, for the Tigers.

"Our kids were building physically for this race all season, and we started to work on the mental preparation last week." Pius senior Kyle Foster, who led the 'Bolts with a sixth-place finish, said, "Coach O'Boyle had everybody on the team relaxed and ready. "He said he wanted us to finish last in the sprint for the first 100 yards," Foster said. "So we all started slow and gradually worked our way up, with the five of us staying pretty close together. "Then, about halfway through, I hollered, 'Let's go 'Bolts', and we all starteri to press hard to the finish," he sld Omaha Roncalli's Scott Pachunka Won the "We didn't rush these kids this year, and actually put this group of kids together just two weeks ago for the Metro meet," Lawrence said "When they won impressively there and in districts, they built up enough confidence to carry them through today." Bellevue West junior Tim Wakeland posted the best time of the day in winning the Class A title in 15:50, nipping Omaha WesUside's Chris Perrone in a 200-yard dash to the finish.

"That's the only way I can win against Perrone," Wakeland said.

Omaha Burke won Its firth state title in the last seven years, and Lincoln East placed second in Class A.

"There's no doubt that winning here in the past helps any team," Pius Coach George O'Boyle said. "You learn to handle the pressure of the week proceeding the meet and the meet itself, and you learn how to run the course successfully. "There's only one big race that makes a differ-ence and this is it," he said. "So, you bring your team along so they peak for the state, and It's easier to do that If youVs been through it once or twice." Anyone watching Pius this season or even at the start of the state meet would have been shocked to see the Thunderbolts win the crown. Auburn, which finished second, had beaten Pius throughout the season and at the district meet last week.
