New York, tied for second place with Chicago Vk games behind open3 a three-game series with the Pirates. The Cubs, meanwhile, will be watching the numbers on the scoreboard and the -Philadelphia Phillies on the field. The Pirates prepared for their showdown with New York by whipping Montreal, 8-0, Thursday night as Lake Walker scattered seven hits and Gene Alley drove in four runs with a triple and two singles. Chicago moved into a second place tie with the idle Mets by whacking St. Louis, 7-1, on Ken Holtzman's seven-hitter.

In other games Thursday, San Diego shut out Atlanta, 5-0, Baltimore took Detroit, 7-4, Boston edged Washington, 4-3, and Milwaukee dropped California, 7-3. Pittsburgh and Chicago, both staggering lately, looked solid for a change Thursday. And the idle Mets, trying to pump some life back into their pennant hopes, rallied in the late innings for a pair of victories against Philadelphia earlier in the week. Kickoff 1:30 p.m., Memorial Stadium. Broadcasts-WOW (590), KFAB (1110), KFOR (1240), KLIN (1400).

Picker shots in the win over Wake Forest and the tie with USC, will again be at the controls when the Cornhusker offense takes the But Van Brownson, who Husker defender. NIJ 'By Three, TDs For the first time this season Cornhusker fans 'will have the opportunity to see both halves of the Nebraska quarterback act. Jerry Tagge, who called the Bill Kosch Might utr r- f. Take Few Bites NWU Is 56-Point Pick guided the Cornhuskers past Kansas State, Oklahoma and Georgia In impressive fashion down the stretch last year, Is due to make his belated 1970 debut. "We don't have a fixed plan on when Van will play Saturday, but he will play.

We want to get a good look at him before we get into the conference schedule," says Devaney. Brownson missed the first two games with a sore elbow oh his throwing arm. Physically, the Cornhuskers enter the game in good position with only split end Guy Ingles on the doubtful list. Junior transfer Woody Cox, a 5-9, 180-pounder, is ticketed for the starting job but Ingles may be used to spell him occasionally. The only other lineup change contemplated is at the weakside linebacker spot where Pat Morell will move in ahead of Bob Terrio.

The two have had a hot battle for No. 1 honors all fall. Defensive backfield coach Warren Powers, anticipating a lot of passing by Army, will open with the same quartet he started at Southern Cal last week. Dave Morock will handle the monster' chores with Jim Anderson and sophomore Joe Blahak on the corners and Bill Kosch at safety. The Cadets have a history of bouncing back after big disappointments and last week's 10-7 loss to Baylor had to be a big disappointment.

The Bears had been winless last year. Two years, ago the Cadets were upset by Vanderbilt, 17-13, in their second game and rebounded to give a strong Missouri team, a 7-3 battle In Columbia the next. week. After that 1-2 start Army finished 7-3. Mindful of the difficulties the Cornhuskers have had with Air Force in recent meetings, Devaney has stressed that Army can't be taken lightly despite its loss last week.

"I think our players realize this," he says. mean three new faces Chaffee has inserted into the lineup for the game." Sophomore Jim Horrocks (6-0, 220), takes over at offensive tackle for Dan Howard. Junior Earl Nannen (5-10, 179), replaces veteran Jerry Colvert in a safety signals. By DON FORSYTHE Times have changed since Army and Nebraska last played football in 1960. Nobody knows better than.

Bill Thornton, a sophomore on the last Cornhusker club to meet the Cadets. Reminiscing about Nebraska's 14-9 upset of Army that year, Thornton recalls that the Cornhuskers really didn't enter the game with an abun-. dance of confidence. "There was a song 'Please, Mr. Custer' which was popular at the time," relates Bill.

It's theme was that a soldier was begging Custer not to send him out against the Indians. 1 "And a little before the game Bennie Dillard was singing 'Please, Mr. Jennings' don't send me out against he remembers. Even though the Cornhuskers had just evened their record at 2-2 with a 17-7 win over Kansas State, coach Bill Jennings was taking a lot of heat for an unimaginative attack. The Cornhuskers really didn't open up against Quarterback Pat Fischer threw just two passes.

But the only completion went for 57 yards to Dillard for the game-winning touchdown. Come Saturday coach Bob. Devaney won't be hearing any songs from his players wailing about having to face Army. Confidence has been a Nebraska ally since Devaney ended NU's losing habit in 1962. v'; And there won't be any complaints about Unimaginative football.

Over 26,000 seats have been added to Memorial Stadium since 1960 and they're filled every- week. That's a testimony to aggressive, imaginative football. This time around Cornhuskers rank as solid favorites. Eighth-ranked in the nation following last week's impressive 21-21 tie with powerful Southern California, the Cornhuskers enter the game favored by some four touchdowns.

Magee Stadium, 53rd and Huntington. 1 By STEVE GUSS How do you prepare for a football team which has given up 135 points in its first two games? Nebraska Wesleyan coach Harold Chaffee was faced with that problem this week as the Plainsmen, who have allowed only eight to their first two foes, readied themselves for Missouri Western.

The Golden Griffons (a small dog of Belgian origin) invade O.N. Magee Stadium Saturday night for what might be their third pasting in a row. Wesleyan has been installed as a 56-point choice to win its third straight game. The Plainsmen haven't scored that many or more points since whipping St. Mary of the Plains, 66-12, in the third game of the 1965 season.

Missouri Western knows exactly how a loss like that feels. The Griffons were beaten by Morningside, 72-10, and took a 63-14 lashing from Pittsburg, the last two Saturday's. Coach Harold Cagle's freshman-dominated unit can score, however, and Chaffee warns, "it doesn't make any difference who you're playing, anytime somebody puts 11 men on the field, they're capable of A Western has a 53-man roster, 34 of them freshmen In the first year of football at the St. Joseph, Mo. school since 1924.

Assistant coach Doug Minnis says 16-18 starters will be frosh. The team has some players 200 pounds and over, but none start. Minnis says the I forma-. tion backfield will be made up of 6-1, 185-pound Junior quarterback Mike Crouscr; 5-11, UiO-pound sophomore halfback Mike Hill; 6-1, 175-. pound freshman flanker Barry Reynolds and 5-10, 180-pound freshman I-back Mark Whitacre, This quartet managed only six yards rushing against the stout Pittsburg defense last week.

However, Crouser and back-up men Rod Dutt and Terry Doss (a Missouri small class all-stater) threw for 178 yards. Chaffee Is not taking the Griffons lightly. "We cmild NEBRASKA (1-0-1) Wt. Ht. Name No.

If Peery gets the nod on offense (he's the 1 a defensive' right end), it will Van Brownson QB Call Boulder Hosting Big One Kansas City OP) For the second straight week, a Big Eight Conference team plays a prestige game Saturday when the 18th-ranked Colorado Buffaloes run up against fourth-ranked Penn State in a nationally televised contest at Boulder, Colo. The Buffs have been waiting 12 long months for this one. Colorado lost the only other meeting between the two teams last year when Penn State prevailed, 27-3. Colorado coach Eddie Crowder thinks the Buffs had the game with Penn' State "in the back of their minds" when they had a rough time with Indiana last week before winning, 16-9. Penn State obviously was thinking of no one else last Saturday when the Nittany Lions clobbered Navy, 55-7.

All other Big Eight clubs are also scheduled for non-conference action Saturday. 'Eighth-ranked Nebraska is host to Army, ninth-ranked Missouri meets Air Force in St. Louis, Oklahoma entertains Oregon State at Norman, Oklahoma State goes to Houston, Iowa State hosts Colorado State University and Kansas' visits Syracuse in day games. Kansas State plays the only night game, an interscctional clash with Arizona State University at Tempe, Ariz. Two Liberty Bowl scouts will watch the Colorado-Penn State fireworks.

Colorado won the 1969 Liberty Bowl game by outscoring Alabama, 47-33, at Memphis, Tenn. "Penn State is a better team than last year," Crowder says. "They're better even though they don't have a super play producer. We'll have to play the best game we're capable of playing." Unbeaten Missouri, hampered by rain all week, must stop flanker Ernie Jennings if the Tigers expect to beat undefeated Air Force. Missouri beat the Falcons last year, 19-17.

Oklahoma coach Chuck Fairbanks says Oregon State "is the best football team we have faced so far." Oregon State brushed aside Iowa last week, 24-14. Fairbanks Is pleased with the Sooner defense after victories over Southern Methodfst and Wisconsin. Oklahoma State, beaten by Mississippi State and Arkansas, has another rough test against Houston, which routed Syracuse, 44-15, a week ago. Iowa State, which surprised with defensive problems, may have difficulty with Syracuse's unbalanced line. Kansas Slate likely will face Arizon State without atar' quarterback Lynn whose bruised ribs have bothered him all season.

"I won't use Dickey unless he's well and probably won't decide until just before the says coach Vince Gibson. (55 Saturday Bawball Minnesota at Kansas City, 7:10 p.m. (KLIN). Pro Grid Highlights a a.m. "(3).

That would be an excellent mark for the Big Eight teams to match in non-conference play this week. The big one, as far as con ference prestige goes, is Colorado-Penn State game in Boulder. The Buffs dropped a fi 27-3 decision to Penn State I early last season and have been itching for revenge ever since.

Alley was the key man, singling home one of three runs the Pirates scored when they bunched five hits in the third inning. He singled another home in the sixth and then tripled for two more in the seventh. The Cubs, who play three games in Philadelphia before finishing the season with four in New York, kept their hopes healthy by whipping the Cardinals. Chicago shattered a 1-1 tie with four runs in the sixth inning with a bad-hop single and a juggled grounder playing key roles in the rally. Glenn Beckert opened with a walk and raced to third when Tommy Davis' bouncer hopped through the AstroTurf infield for a single.

Ron Santo bounced to Dal Maxvill but the Cardinal shortstop juggled the potential double play ball and had to settle for a forceout a3 Beckert scored. Jim Hickman doubled one run home and Randy Hundley's single and a wild throw by Lou Brock resulted in two more. Billy Williams' 200th hit of the season helped Chicago's two-run rally in the seventh. Dave Roberts pitched a six-hitter and Clarence Gaston and Nate Colbert powered home as San Diego blanked Atlanta for the second straight night. A pair of two-run homers in his first two swings by Tony Conigliaro carried Boston past Washington.

Paul Blair had four hits including a pair of homers as Baltimore tagged Detroit. Mika Cuellar won his 24th game.
