The heavily favored No. 5-rated Spartans got off to a quick start moving 61 yards on just five plays after the opening kickoff. The Spartans took a 6-0 lead with 9 .38 left in the first period behind Yowell's first touchdown, a 23-yard scamper.

Dan Fijan, who later booted a 29-yard field goal in the third quarter, booted the extra point to make the score 7-0, and it looked like East, now 5-0, would have an easy time of it. But Millard came right back and marched to East's 3-yard line before being counted out on downs and after that the Indians were able to keep East in a bind for the rest of the half. After that period of downs Millard had three other good opportunities to score, but was unable to strike paydirt. Millard penetrated to East's 8, 13 and 28-yard lines in the first half but each time East's defense would rise to the occ- sion and hold the Indians. Midway through the second quarter East came up with another of several big plays that pepped them to the win.

On a second and sixteen situation from their own 7-yard line East quarterback Bill Holmes found Pat Scott, the city's leading prep pass receiver, for a 93-yard strike that gave East a 14-0 margin at halftime. But in the third quarter two costly fumbles and a poor snap on a punt by East brought Millard back into the game. After taking the opening kickoff Holmes hit Yowell on a 35-yard strike. But on the very play, Holmes fumbled the ball away to Millard at the Indians' 32-yard line. The Spartan defense held, but on the ensuing punt, Yowell fumbled on the fair catch and Millard's Randy Ness recovered on the Spartan 40-yard line.

This time Millard scored, marching the distance in nine plays with Dan Halstead scoring from two yards out. By TOM VINT Lincoln Southeast football coach Frank Solich sighed another sigh of relief Friday night. 'Hi's fifth-rated nights slipped by unrated but once-beaten Lincoln High, 14-0, at Seacrest Field. Southeast took advantage of two costly Link errors to pull the ball game out before more than 5,000 homecoming fans. The first break came late in the first quarter when LHS's Uduak Udofia attempted to field a Southeast punt on the bounce Auburn Stops Miami MIAMI (UPI) Little Greg Gillis booted a 24-yard field goal into a blustery wind 'and Auburn's tough-hitting defenders, statistically rated tops in the nation, stopped the Miami Hurricanes 3-0 Friday night in a battle between two, top .20 teams.

The Tiger defense, led by linebacker Bobby Davis and opportunistic Jim McKinney, held the Hurricanes without a first down for a quarter and a'half and Miami, never got inside the Tiger 20. 'The victory upped ninth ranked Auburn's record to 4-0 and left 12th ranked Miami at 2-1. The field goal by the 5-foot-9, 166-pound Gills came with 6:53 left in the third quarter at the end of an 11-play march which started when McKinney recovered a Woody Thompson fumble on the Miami 47, Quarterback Phil Gargis started the drive by spurting over left tackle for 10 yards and Secdrick Mclntyre kept it going on the 28 by bursting three yards over the middle on a fourth and one situation. Then the Hurricanes stiffened on their seven-yard line forcing Gillis' field goal into a wind which was gusting up to 28 miles an hour. Then it was up to the Tiger defense, which went into the game leading the nation in total defense, surrendering' only 126 yards per game.

Except for the drive which led to the field goal, both offenses played entirely between the 20-yard lines. Auburn also dominated first half play until midway in the second quarter. The Tigers' biggest threat came when they moved 41 yards in 11 plays to the Miami 20. There Chris Wilson was wide to the right with a 37-yard field goal attempt.

Udofia tipped the ball as it bounced over his head and Southeast's Ron Rech fell on it at the Links' eight yard line. After an offsides penalty moved the ball back to the 13 on Southeast's first play, Rech took a Tim Hager handoff and followed his blocking into the end zone. With 1:23 left in the quarter, Don Pegler booted the extra, point for a 7-0 lead and all the points Southeast eventually needed. the second break came in like manner in the second half. The game was drawing to a close when the Links attempted a desperation pass on fourth and long yardage deep in their own territory.

LHS also picked off one pass attempt. Southeast's ground game proved effective the first half, totaling 101 net yards but managed only 28 the second half in pushing its record to 5-0. But the Southeast defense was also hard-hitting, permitting the Links 77 rushing yards and 23 more through the air.

Lincoln High was in Southeast territory only twice the second half with a deep penetration to the 30. The Links had their only scoring opportunity wiped out on a pass interception in the first quarter. The running of quarterback Ralph Kuwamoto and Udofia moved the ball to the Southeast 16 when Knight Ar-dale Brame stepped in front of a LHS receiver to pick off a Kuwamoto pass at the eight. LHS later drove the ball to the Southeast 24 on third down but Kuwamoto was snagged for a loss while trying to pass on fourth down by Knight Jim Zilly. Lincoln High, now 3-2, and Southeast were both plagued by offensive mistakes throughout.

The two teams saw 10 fumbles and three pass interceptions before the final gun. Next Friday night, the Links travel to Millard while on Saturday, Southeast hosts Grand Island at Seacrest Field.

Moments earlier, Bellevue had taken a 13-6 lead on a 33-yard slant by fullback Joe Adams, who subbed for an injured Santoro.

Now the score was 13-12, setting up Green's heroics. The 5-10, 165-pound Bellevue transfer's plunge capped a poised 80-yard drive by the favored Bunnies. Consuming over seven minutes, the drive was sparked by gains of 21, eight, five and three yards by Bass. The attempted PAT run was stopped short and the Chieftains dialling Ljasi sciica, act up ujr a 47-yard run by Yowell, Millard came back to score again on a 60-yard bomb from quarterback Steve Moore to John, with 4 :37 left in the third quarter. The extra point was blocked, however, to leave the score 17-13.

As the fourth quarter started Yowell sparked East to its third touchdown with runs of 23 and 38 yards, the latter for a touchdown with 10:07 remaining, that gave East a seemingly safe 23-13 lead. However, the tenacious Indians were not ready to give up and on the ensuing series Moore connected for 35 yards to Ross and 25 yards to Mike Gottschalk to move Millard in for another score. Millard gambled on a two point conversion but the play failed, leaving the score 23-19. East High's defense then took charge and stopped Millard the rest of the way. East added an insurance touchdown on a 29-yard pass from Bruce Watters to Ken Rejda remaining.

'They played well," said East Coach Lee Zentic! ''They are fine ball club, they really hit us. They're improving each week. "They had at least a half dozen offensive sets and they must have had a 100 different things to do off them," said Zentic.

Moving from their own 40, Chieftain quarterback Kevin Berry tossed eight straight passes completing two before a fourth down pass was trapped on the Bunnie's 45-yard line. But Bellevue wasn't finished. Two plays later Callahan" fumbled on his own 48 and Adams recovered for Bellevue.

He established himself as the Metro Conference scoring leader, surpassing former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers' record of 38 touchdowns, with two against the Chieftains. His run of 69 yards early in the third quarter, and a 31-yard TD reception from quarterback Bill Callahan later the same period, gave him a career total of 39 touchdowns. But the Bunnies had to scrap for their lives and the win.

On Bellevue's first possession, facing a fourth down and 2 yards to go, from its own 41 with 8:01 left in tte first quarter, Chieftain fullback Bill Santoro bolted through the Bunnies' goalline STAFF PHOTO BY WEB RAY WU Readv To-R enew LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI) -Charles Coody and Dave Eichelberger, a pair of soft-spoken Texans who haven't won on the PGA trail since 1971, moved into the lead of the Sahara Invitational with 36-hole totals of 135, seven, under par Friday as first-day leader Bobby Heins slipped to a 74. Late in the same period Beatrice went 75 yards in 10 plays with Mike Bartek scoring on a three-yard run with 1 :21 to go. That finished the Orangemen's scoring as 'Bolts quarterback Mitch Ohnoutka went over the goal from a yard out on the final play of the first half. Ohnoutka completed three of four passes for 48 yards in that drive that Aldrich called "a real lift for us to go into the dressing room ahead, instead of behind." In the third quarter Pius scored on a 55-yard, 10-play drive that ended wth Jerry Kob-za's one-yard plunge with 54 seconds remaining.

On the ensuing series Beatrice went from the 'Bolts' 45 to the seven before Jim Bruckner recovered a Orangeman fumble for Pius X. On the next series Kobza came up with a Beatrice fumble that led to Mike Peters' touchdown run of six yards with 2:48 left in the game. "Beatrice's offense gave us as much trouble as any team we've played this year," Aldrich said. "Our passing game's consistency helped keep the running game going for the first time this season.

The win boosted the No.

4 Class rated 'Bolts to a 4-1 record, while the Class A Orangemen dropped to 1-4. Coach Vince Aldrich's Capital City team held a 19-17 edge at halftime and only led then because of a eight-play, 66-yard drive in the last minute and 21 seconds. That ended a hectic first half, which had the lead change five times as both teams' ffenses were successful. However, in the second half Pius X's defense recovered two Beatrice fumbles and intercepted one pass to shut out the Orangemen over the final two quarters. The 'Bolts scored first by going 67 yards in four plays on their first possession with Tom Doggett, who finished with 164 yards on 21 carries, scoring on a 36-yard draw play with 9:20 left in the first period.

Beatrice's soccer-style kicker, Bob Stevens, then scored with a 38yard field goal with 6:11 to go in the same quarter. The Orangemen then took the lead with Tom Bartek running 39 yards for a touchdown to cap a 56yard, three-play drive with 3:08 remaining still in the initial stanza. Doggett scored on a five-yard run next with 11:11 left in the second quarter, ending a 73-yard, 13-play drive to put Pius back on such rivalries and this one and Saturday night's contest at O.N. Magee Stadium is no exception. It has been a part of history to paint school letters on the others stadium, burn letters into the fields and even steal a sacred victory bell.

So it's easy to see why coaches Harold Chaffee of NWU and Doane's Ray Best will have little trouble getting their teams fired up for the 7.30 p.m. game. It may even be easier for the Plainsmen since the Tigers haven't lost to NWU since 1965. But getting his team emotionally up for the game is not the problem facing Chaffee right now. He's more concerned with his offense's inability to move the ball against their previous opponents.

In Wesleyan's first three games, Chaffee's offense is behind the opponents in all statistical categories and it's not the fault of the defense according to Chaffee, but offensive turnovers and missed assignments. Offensively, the Plainsmen gained only 106 yards in their 10- 7 win over Austin Cobge last. By Chuck Sinclair State College Writer In 1896, Nebraska Wesleyan defeated Doane 8-4, starting perhaps the oldest and most heated rivalry among the Nebraska state colleges. Now, 78 years and 59 games later, little has been decided as to overall superiority with the series deadlocked at 27 wins apiece and five ties. The most recent matchup resulted in a 0-0 standoff at Doane's Simon Field.

Pranks usually accompany It's a Pius touchdown ahead of vising Beatrice, with no time left in the half that puts the Thunderbolts 19-17. A Beatrice fijayer obviously disputes the call..
