A The Sioux City Journal, Sunday, October 7, 1979-D I (Ma. -Mlte- Hawks hold off Illinois yj- 1 CHAMPAIGN, 111. (AP) Fullback Dean McKillip scored a third quarter touchdown, and the Iowa defense stopped a last-second Illinois drive at the one-yard line to give the Hawkeyes a 13-7 Big Ten football victory Saturday. Iowa's leading running back Dennis Mosley gained 125 yards, and freshman Reggie Roby booted two field goals as the Hawkeyes boosted their season re- cord to 2-3 and conference mark to 1-1. Illinois, hurt by mistakes at key times, dropped to 1-4 overall and 2-2 In the Big Ten.

i The Illini were without the services of their top rusher, tailback Mike Holmes, who was benched with an injury. After Roby's field goals, fullback Wayne Strader caught a four-yard touchdown pass to put Illinois in front 7-6 at the half, But Iowa used two 16-yard runs by Mosley early in the third period to set up McKlllip's one-yard touchdown dive with 11:01 left in the third quarter. Two Illinois penalties kept the drive alive. Illinois stormed back late in the fourth quarter and had a first and goal situation at the three-yard line. McCullough threw one incomplete, pass into the end zone, then gained two yards on the ground.

He kept the ball and tried to go up the middle for the touchdown as time ran out, but Iowa threw him for a loss. Iowa rolled up 262 yards rushing, and added just 21 with passes. Illinois, however, had 169 yards in the air and 135 on the ground. Illinois was penalized six times for 49 yards, while Iowa lost 20 yards on two penalties. Attendance at the homecoming game was 51,044.

Illinois took the opening kickoff and marched 66 yards to the Iowa 14. With fourth down and one to go, Illinois lined up to go for the yard, but tackle John Mulchrone jumped off side and drew a five-yard penalty. WU i it I I 1 Kirk Bostrom's 35-yard field goal attempt fell short. Iowa moved the ball well on its first possession but quarterback Pete Gales fumbled and Illinois recovered on its own 41. Illinois could not score and Iowa got the ball back.

The Hawkeyes marched 69 yards, and Roby kicked a 25-yard field goal into the wind to put Iowa on the board first, with 12:52 left in the half. Near the end of the half, Iowa's Mel Cole picked off a McCullough pass, but the Hawkeyes could not move the ball and Roby booted his second field goal, a 33-yarder. McCullough then put his passing attack to work, completing tosses of 22, 18, 16 and 12 yards before the touchdown pass to Strader with 57 seconds left in the half. Roby missed a 51-yard field goal attempt and Illinois led 7-6 going into the third quarter.

Mark Paulsen's field goal got Morningside on the board, but the Mavs scored four more TDs before the Chiefs could tally again. Included in the burst was Rogers' second six-pointer of the night. Morningside, loser of its last 14 games (six this season), plays its final non-conference game of 1979 when it tackles Wisconsin-Whitewater in Mexico City at 4 p.m. (CDT) Saturday. Nebraska-Omaha, 4-1 overall, travels to South Dakota State the same day.

US NVJ -V 1 LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) For want of a shoe, Craig Johnson got started on a scoring binge Saturday. The junior I-back for the University of Nebraska's 5th-ranked Cornhuskers got his cue when fellow running back Jarvis Redwine lost a shoe and head to leave the game for a bit in the first period.

Johnson promptly scored Nebraska's first touchdown of the day against New Mexico State, and went on to score two more as his teammates vanquished the Aggies, 57-0. Johnson scored from the 1 in the third period and popped over from the 11 for Nebraska's final tally In the fourth period. "It's really a good feeling to score like that, but the credit has to go to the line for opening such big holes," Johnson said. "It's my job to run them." Nebraska scored with its first three possessions as the Aggies couldn't cope with the bigger, faster Cornhusker squad. Johnson scored from two yards out capping a 48-yard, 11-play drive on Nebraska's first possession.

Redwine scored from the one yard line four minutes later. Redwine gained 120 yards before being relieved midway through the second quarter. Tight end Junior Miller scored on a 43-yard pass from Tim Hager with 3:37 left in the first quarter. The Aggies could advance no further than Nebraska's 46 in the first half, and made it only to the 48 in the second half. Wingback Kenny Brown returned an Aggie punt 80 yards for Nebraska's only second quarter touchdown and Dean Sukup booted a 21-yard field goal to give Nebraska a 31-0 halftime edge.

The Aggies recovered three fumbles against Nebraska reserves, but quarterback Butch Kelly's snappy passing couldn't, keep New Mexico State moving. Johnson's second TD from the one completed Nebraska's first possession penalty before the fumble. Iowa won the Big Ten Conference game, 13-7.

(AP) Ken Naber kicked a 56-yard field goal, the second-longest in Stanford football history, as the final gun sounded to give the Cardinals a 27-24 victory over UCLA Saturday in the Pacific-10 Conference opener for both teams. The Bruins' Peter Boermeester, who beat Stanford with a field goal In the final seconds last season, attempted a 40-yarder with 1:07 remaining Saturday but it was blocked by Gordon Banks bag for a force out and threw Anderson out at first, ending the inning. The Orioles teed off against Angels relievers Dave Frost and John Montague to clinch it in the seventh. Dempsey walked, stole second and went to third on a wild pitch. After two outs, Singleton doubled, driving in De- onship.

Second team quarterback Jeff Quinn scored from the one and Scott Woodard took a 13-yard TD pass from reserve quarterback Mark Mauer as Nebraska rolled on in the third period. Johnson scored his third tally, from the one, In the fourth quarter. Brown's 80-yard punt return TD was the third-longest in modern NU history.

Nebraska, now 4-0, used the mismatch to get a look at several young players. "The most pleasing thing was that we got to play a lot of players," said NU Coach Tom Osborne. "We got most everybody in there." Osborne said the game gave Husker coaches a good opportunity to evaluate reserve talent. He noted NU's fumbles and said, "We could have scored another couple of touchdowns but it wasn't the point to run up the score." "Some of those players we didn't want to get hurt," Osborne added. "When you feel the game is out of reach, you don't want to keep players in there with a chance to get hurt." New Mexico State fell to a 2-4 mark.

The Mavericks evened their NCC record at 1-1 as they pounded the Maroon Chiefs into 49-15 submission. Nebraska-Omaha took it to the out-manned Chiefs from the start. The Mavericks got 14 points in each of the first three quarters.

And what the UNO offense didn't do, the defense did. The defenders held Morningside to just 11 yards on 37 rushes. The Chiefs' total offense was 193 yards, though, thanks to freshman Rhett Kenney's passing late in the game. Kenney, who hit nine of his 18 tosses, completed a 29-yarder to Gary Mecus for the visitors' last touchdown. Kenney's arm accounted for 130 of the Chiefs' 182 passing yards.

Sophomore Steve Zeman, the starting signal-caller, was 6-for-15 for 52 yards. Although UNO collected 188 yards through the air (including a 5-for-5 for 45 yards by South Sioux City sophomore Kurt S. Anderson), the Mavs did the heavy damage on the ground. Nebraska-Omaha piled up 344 yards on 50 rushes. Mark Schellen had 78 yards on six tries, Bobby Bass 72 on eight and Tim Rogers 43 on 10.

The Mavericks went to work early and hopes mpsey. Murray then was walked intentionally, Roenicke singled, knocking in the second run of the inning and Kelly greeted Montague with his three-run shot. McGregor, a 25-year-old left-hander, suffered arm troubles early in the season and was just 3-3 at the All-Star break. But he came on to finish 13-6, and he was 2-0 against the Angels during the regular season. McGregor walked only one and struck out in handcuffing the hard-hitting Angels.

The walk was his first in 20 Innings of work. Baltimore hosts the first game of the World Series at 7:30 p.m. CDT Tuesday, with veteran Jim Palmer or 23-game winner Mike Flanagan expected to start. Baltimore has appeared in the World Series four other times 1966, 1969, 1970 and 1971 losing twice and winning twice. In their last appearance, the Orioles lost to the Pirates four games to three.

(AP) -Freshman cornerback Dave Duerson set up two first-quarter touchdowns with an Intercepted pass and a recovered fumble and Vagas Ferguson dashed 17 yards for the clinching touchdown In the fourth period Saturday to give loth-ranked Notre Dame a 21-13 victory over Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech had climbed within one point of the lead 14-13 on an 80-yard pass from Mike Kelley to Leon Chadwlck and a pair of field goals by Johnny Smith when the Yellowjackets fumbled a lateral pass from Kelley to Chadwlck and Bob Crable recovered on the Tech 22-yard line early In the fourth quarter.

(AP) The Baltimore Orioles, led by Scott McGregor's six-hit pitching, plus power hitting and double-play defense, advanced to the World Series against the Pittsburgh Pirates by whipping the California Angels 8-0 Saturday. The Orioles, who took the American League championship series three games to one, will host the opening game of the World Series Tuesday. Rick Dempsey started two rallies and doubled home a run, Ken Singleton drove in two runs and Pat Kelly contributed a three-run homer in the seventh, when the Orioles scored five times, assuring them of their fourth AL pennant since 19G9, when the present playoff system started. The loss, before a partisan crowd of 43,199, awoke the Angels from their dream of reaching the baseball pinnacle for the first time in their 19 season of existence. They had never before won a division title.

Baltimore, beaten 4-3 Friday night, Jumped on Angels starter Chris Knapp for a pair of runs in the third inning. Dempsey singled, Al Bumbry walked and Kiko Garcia beat out a high bouncing bunt, filling the bases and setting up a sacrifice fly by Singleton and Eddie Murray's run-scoring single. The Angels averted further damage when Gary Roenlcke bounced into a double play. The Orioles made It 3-0 In the fourth on doubles by Doug DeClnces and Dempsey. The Angels mounted their only big threat in the fifth, and it was third baseman DeClnces who cut It off after California had loaded the bases with none out.

Brian Downing and Bobby Grich singled, and with Sammy Stewart AMES, Iowa (AP) One word from Iowa State Coach Donnle Duncan summed up his football team's 24-7 loss to Pacific Saturday. It was, he said, a "nightmare." "This was a ballgame that seemed to be the most bleak, negative football game I've ever been associated with," said Duncan, who is now 1-3 In his first year as the Cyclones' coach. Iowa State, which has lost three straight games, was listless on offense and unable to defend against the pinpoint passing of Pacific quarterback Sander Markel. Markel, a freshman who started the year as a tight end, completed 21 of 37 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns, He got off to a shaky start, but hit 17 of his last 22 passes as the Tigers thoroughly embarrassed the heavily favored Cyclones. "This loss was bitter.

That's about the best description I can give you," Duncan said. "We practiced well this week. It was Just a nightmare." First-year Pacific Coach Robert Toledo, a former assistant at Southern Cal, said his game plan was to control the ball by passing. "We believe in the pass and we've been throwing over 35 passes per game," said Toledo, whose team is 2-3. "Our plan offensively was to throw the ball and try to make a lot of first downs and to try to control the game with the pass.

"We didn't feel we were physical enough to run the ball at them all the time." See ISUonPageDt" .6) SHU HI 11.11) WTWTt "U- 1 i ft il a1 "-Ar a a fjim.rm,l.
