"I TT i Thursday, Sapttmbsr 24, 1970 The Uagala Star 37 fUl ft KEiP 1 1 IS wmr urns -By Randy Eickhoff Star SporU Writer Selma Apologizes But Bitterness Still Exists was fined $500, preventing a threatened walkout by the umpires whom he blasted the night before following a loss to the Mets. The umpires reluctantly took the field Wednesday night for the Phillies' game against the Mets at Connie Mack Stadium but made it clear they didn't think the punish By Associated Press Donn Clendenon's two-run' homer in the efghth inning off controversial reliever Dick Selma carried New York to a 5-4 victory oyer the Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday night and kept alive the Mets' slim hopes in the National League East race. Prior to the game, Selma Americans One Stroke Up No Kan Can Hurt Though the coming duck season has been heralded in most states as having the possibilities of being one of the best ever, Nebraska may find itself on the short end of the stick due to the lack of rain in certain vital areas of the state. Certain marshlands around the state normally used by ducks for nesting have slowly dried up to the point where the ducks and their broods have moved on to belter areas. Of course, this cuts down on the hunting areas also with fewer areas open for hunting and probably more hunters this year than last.

im Then again, those hunters who pan afford an outlay of money to rent hunting privileges on some farmer's or rancher's land will not be affected by the rain shortage if the farmer has a big enough pond on his place. A suggestion offered by Dick Mezzy to counteract the dry areas such as County Line Marsh and others in the basin would be for the game commission to open certain Salt Valley lakes and other selected lakes around the state to limited hunting. The areas, Dick contends, could be open on three days of the week and closed the rest. This would give hunters a chance to collect bounty and the ducks a chance to rest during the rest of the week. But then again, a man would need a calender of the shooting days to keep himself from getting in trouble with the gape wardens.

Dick's idea, however, docs have certain merit but would probably work better if certain lakes were open for let's say the first two weeks then closed while another lake and area Is opened for hunting. This would eliminate the calendar and would make things easier for the already over-worked game wardens. Of hers Affected Also The lack of rain doesn't affect only the duck season, but the pheasant season 'and other upland game birds also grow and decrease in accordance with the amount of moisture. 2-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Rookie Bart Johnson pitched his first major league shutout, and veteran Luis Aparicio equaled the all-time major league record for number of games played at shortstop as the Chicago White Sox blanked the Kansas City Royals, 6-0.

Steve Hargan pitched a six-hitter and Ken Harrelson and Vern Fuller slugged home runs as the Cleveland Indians defeated Boston, 5-2, to snap the Red Sox' seven-game winning treak.

The big righthander struck out seven and walked three. Mike Marshall put down a ninth inning Pittsburgh threat, saving Carl Morton's 17th victory and the Montreal Expos squeaked to a 3-2 victory over the National League East leading Pirates. Morton, who had allowed six hits until the ninth, was greeted by a Willie Stargell leadoff single. Bob Robertson popped out but Manny Sanguillen singled his third hit to left, sending Stargell to third. Jim Lyttle drove in three runs, stroking a double and triple and the New York Yankees moved to a 6-4 victory over Washington.

Pitcher Tony Cloninger slugged a homer and single and drove in two runs, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-2 triumph over Houston. Rookie Steve Arlin, making his second start since being recalled from the minors, fired a seven-hitter and pitched the San Diego Padres to a In Eisenhower Cup KITE'S BIRDIE STRING Just as too much water will not enough will force the birds for nesting purposes. Perhaps the commission should open up. other areas for upland game hunting also especially around the protected watershed areas. Because that's where the birds will be if the state doesn't receive more rain in the immediate future.

More Timber Lines Congratulations must be offered to 12-year-old Joe Schwartztrauber of Lincoln who landed a channel cat weighing in the neighborhood of "twenty pounds." Joe says he caught the monster at Oak Lake with five minnows speared on a single hook. Just goes to prove that the bigger a guy gets the more glutton he becomes. Or should that be the big mouth opened too soon? to he moved. "Selma came in to apologize. We want the whole country to know about it on his questioning of the integrity of the game.

"He (Selma) said the game Tuesday night was fixed and that the umpires fixed the game. Our intention tonight (Wednesday) was not to leave our dressing room until he was taken care of by the league president or the commissioner." Bob Gibson throttled Chicago on two hits in the first game and Jerry Reuss scattered seven in the nightcap as the St. Louis Cardinals swept a twi-night doubleheader 2-1 and 2-1 to deal a damaging blow to the Cubs' National League East title hopes. The twin loss dropped the Cubs to third place, Vk games back of Pittsburgh and one-half behind New York. The Pirates and Mets each have seven games to play and the Cubs have eight left.

Gibson won his 23rd'game in the opener, overpowering the Cubs and allowing only a triple by Glenn Beckert in the TIGHT END i Africans, who had total earlier. posted their For a few anxious moments, it appeared the Americans wouldn't make it. After making the turn in 36, the University of Texas student bogeyed the 10th and 11th and at that stage was two over par with seven to play. However, he hit two big woods on the 495-yard, par five 15th, two-putting for a birdie. He ran in a 10-footer at the 16th, barely missed from 25 feet at the 17th and got down a 10-footer for a birdie on the 18th.

Wadkins, the U.S. national amateur champion, had the best U.S. score, a 70, and Allen Miller of Pensacola, contributed a 72. Marvin Giles of Richmond, three-putted three greens and finished with a 73. His score was thrown out.

Dale Hayes' 70 for South Africa was bolstered by 72s on the part of Dave Symons and Hugh Baiocchi. Hayes, a 20-year-old student, sank two putts of 12 feet and one of 25. Wadkins hit 17 of the 18 greens. He had one birdie, a bogey and an eagle. The eagle Ailing to Kentucky loose on offense until the fourth quarter when they scored three touchdowns.

The defense accounted for the team's first 16 points. Against Kentucky, Kansas State wound up with minus 98 yards in rushing. Kentucky held State's best runner, Mike Montgomery, to' minus two yards on eight carries. Starting tailback Bill Butler suffered a knee injury last Saturday, and his status is also in doubt for the Arizona State game. Whether Dickey or Arreguin plays quarterback, Kansas State has some outstanding receivers, including Montgomery, Henry Hawthorne, Rick Fergerson, Sonny Yarnell, John Goerger and Mike Creed.

"I don't think we're going to pot," Gibson concludes. "We'll get straightened out." Whether Kansas State gets straightened out for the Arizona State i game remains to be seen. Arizona state routed Colorado State University last week 38- KSU's Superman Dickey Still wildcats Staggering after upset loss Manhattan, Kan. (ffl Kansas State is in the process of regrouping for Saturday night's inter-sectional football game at Arizona State and may have to get along without the services of Army Irate After Loss To Baylor West Point, N.Y. The word around the U.S.

Military Academy these days is that the Cadets' football team is roaring mad. The players got that way last Saturday as they suffered a 10-7 setback at the hands of Baylor the first victory for Baylor since 1968. The loss and the anger might be a blessing in disguise for coach Tom Cahill's crew as it prepares to journey to Lincoln Saturday to take on the No. 8 ranked Cornhuskers. Army opened the season with a 26-0 victory over Holy Cross with the defense setting up all the points.

Against Baylor, the Cadets gave the ball away six times three fumbles and three interceptions. They also blew four good scoring chances in the final 18 minutes. They also lost another player when defensive back Randy Stein suffered an arm injury that probably will sideline him for awhile. Halfback Bill Roden and punter Tom Peterson were hurt in the opener, the former out for a little longer and the latter for the season. The Cadets have a flock of good sophs in running backs Bruce Simpson, Bob Hines and Dustry Triplett, line backer Gary Topping, defensive bacK Matt Wotell and quarterback Dick Atha.

However, seniors Bernie Wall and Bob Mohn have done the. quartcrbacking in the first two games, splitting the tirart against Holy Cross with Waif going all the way against Baylor. Army's top performers are split end Joe Albano, who set a school record by grabbing 10 passes against Baylor; offensive guard Bob Johnson, fullback Ray Ritacco, defensive end John Roth, defensive tackles Ken Wyrick and Dave Smith, linebacker Bob Coonan and placekicker Arden ment by National League President Chub Feeney was stiff enough.

"They thought they would have a good team this year and they should be a good football team. They've got a lot of people back from last year." The Husker coaching staff once again put the AstroTurf to good use although it was raining so hard at the start of Wednesday's practice that the workout was begun inside the fieldhouse. "We kept the defense inside all during the practice except for about 20 minutes when we took the linebackers and defensive backs outside to work against passing," Devaney explained. The defense was given the rest of the day off at 4:20, but the offense worked the full two hours, the last part of it outside despite the damp conditions.

Hidden Valley Win V. H. Robbins of Lincoln was the championship flight winner over the weekend the first annual Hidden Valley Country Club Men's Invitational Golf Tournament. Bob Aksamit of Lincoln took the first flight, Tom Rustcrmier of Hebron the see ond and Mike King, of Lincoln the third. Prep Picker Bucks Age-Old Proverb Madrid, Spain UP) Collegian Tom Kite of Austin, finished with a spurt of three birdies in the last four holes for a 71 Wednesday mat gave United States a one-stroke lead over South Africa in the first round of the Eisenhower Cup world amateur golf championship.

The United States had a score of 213 and South Africa 214. Canada was third with 218, followed by Italy, 219; iNew Zealand, 220; the Philippines and Mexico, tied at 221. Edmundo Unson, 25, of the Philippines had. the best 'individual round i 69. Lanny Wadkins of Richmond, and Dale Hayes of South Africa followed with 70 and Kite was in a group of four at 71.

However, this is a team championship among' top amateur players, with the best three scores of a four-man team counting. With the withdrawal of Uruguay, thirty-six nations teed off over the 72 Puerto de Hierro course. Last of the Americans to tee off, Kite knew he needed a 72 to tie and a 71 to beat the South ingly last Saturday when Kansas 1 State lost to Kentucky 16-3. Despite the fact he didn't play much of the second half, Dickey managed to complete 20 of 39 passes for 224 yards. However, the Kansas State running game contributed nothing.

Whether Dickey will be ready to play at Arizona State is one, of the big problems facing Kansas State Coach Vince Gibson right now. "Dickey's sore ribs just haven't healed," Gibson says. 'TVe're going to get him well even if we have to hold him out of the Arizona State game." When Dickey isn't playing, Max Arreguin takes over the quarterback chores. Arreguin completed eight of 14 passes for 83 yards during Dickey's absence in the Kentucky game. "Our offense hasn't played well for two weeks now," Gibson says.

"I think Dickey is a big reason for it. We've got to snap out of it pretty soon."

INGLES STILL OUT Brownson Slated Despite Toothache Soft Schedules Thing Of Past For Army lis By VIRGIL PARKER Prep Sports Writer Someone once said that "A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing." The prep picker proved the theory wrong, at least for this week. With about as little knowledge as possible the results from just one week of gridiron play throughout the state we came up with 126 correct selections from the 177 games played for an overall average of .712. That's up from the .680 compiled opening weekend. The small school eight-man games went a little more according to form, with 31 of 43 correct or .721. The 11-man schools were properly tabbed in 95 or 134 games for a .708 percentage.

All three games involving Capital City teams came out as predicted, giving us six-for-eight on the year in that category. The only misses so far have been Northeast-Fre mont and East-Grand Island.

to them the may cause Behind By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Nebraska quarterback Van Brownson, trying to get his sore elbow ready for action Saturday against Army, came up with another problem Wednesday, but it isn't likely to be as long-lasting a problem as the elbow has been. Brownson left the practice field with about 20 minutes remaining in the rainy session to head for a dentist after comine up with an abcessed tooth dur ing the workout. While neither the tooth nor the elbow is likely to keep Brownson from seeing action Saturday, split end Guy Ingles remains doubtful and was not in uniform Wednesday. "He a he feels better," head coach Bob Devaney pointed out, "And he wants to return to practice. We hope he can get into uniform Thursday, but he's still doubtful for the Army game." Looking at Army, Devaney noted that they present some varied offensive plays.

"They run some out of the pro set and they've got a wide receiver, who is a good pass catcher," he said. "They also run a lot of option plays and they've got a fine dive option play. They also run a real good inside trap." Defensively, Devaney pointed captain and star defensive tackle. must be filled by inexperienced on the defensive unit and one outstanding sophomores may of those places.

The Black Knights, rated well down the list of the nation's better teams, must face four of last winter's bowl teams Nebraska, Tennessee, Notre Dame and Penn State. Coach Tom Cahill, addressing his players recently, said, "this may be the toughest schedule in the history of Army football. But that is what we have ahead of us and that is what we have to prepare for." Texas, last year's No. 1 college football team in President Nixon's opinion, did not play a schedule that can compare to Army's 1970 program. This Army squad has many advantages compared to that of a year ago when Army had its first losing season in four years.

Defensively, Army has its entire front four returning. It is led by Ken Wyrick, there has been in recent years. 4 y..
