A strong drive late in the first frame by the Chiefs ended in frustration when Mike Montague's 27-yard field goal try sailed wide. Then the disappointments really mounted starting the second half. Freshman linebacker Steve Siebecker jarred the 'leather loose from Omaha's Johnny Harrison on the first play of the third frame to give the Chiefs possession on the UNO 31.

That break melted away on the 9 when a fourth down pass went incomplete. On Morningside's next possession followins a punt, the fumbles and three Interceptions hurt the hosts dearly and offset the statistical advantage they held. A Tom Janssen pass, deflected by 6-5 defensive end John Williams into the hands of 230-pound tackle Jim Sledge, resulted in a UNO touchdown just 9:11 into the fray.

A crowd, announced at just under 7,000, saw a Shrine football game played in summerlike weather and one which was much, much closer than the final score would indicate.

But on first and goal, Dave Dupree lost the handle to the football and Maverick Dave McDermed fell on the ball.

That's the kind of day it was for the Chiefs. But to their credit, they kept their noses to the grindstone and it ultimately paid off In a touchdown late in the third quarter. Hard-working fullback Randy Diehl cracked over right guard from the 2-yard line to score with 1:10 on the clock. It capped a five-play drive of 57 yards. That march too was filled with adversity when a 14-yard pass from Janssen to Holston was erased on a personal foul penalty.

However, Janssen came right back with a 40-yard shot to Joe Longo. Dupree ran for three, Holston got 12 on a reverse and then Diehl nailed the TD. Montague kicked the conversion. Omaha's only score of the last half came with 2:29 to play when reserve Rick Martin dashed five yards to culminate a nine-play, 38-yard advance. It didn't take the Mavericks long to get on the scoreboard.

Less than three and a half minutes had elapsed when shifty Harold Young took a pitchout and darted inside John Thompson's nifty block on Howie Staber to hightail it 64 yards down the sidelines to paydirt. Midway through the second quarter Young took a 35-yard aerial from quarterback John Smolsky for another touchdown as the score mounted to 20-0. Curt Bilka, who kicked the first two conversions, was wide on this try and his next PAT try, which followed Dan Fulton's five-yard pass from Smolsky for a six-pointer, hit the upright and fell back.

(AP)-Quar-terback Terry Luck tossed a 5-yard scoring pass to Bobby Thomas in the second period and Mike Coyle kicked a 37 yard field goal in the third period to lead sixth-ranked Nebraska to a 10-7 intersectional college football victory over the stubborn Tigers of Louisiana State Saturday in the opening game for both teams. Both teams had trouble sustaining drives as the defensive units managed key plays and the offensive squads seemed sluggish. The lowe Tiger score came when quarterback Pat Lyons scampered in from the Husker 10 with 49 seconds left in the third period. The only first half score came when Luck found Thomas from five yards out with 1:24 left in the half. The tally capped a 34-yard drive set up by Dave But-terfield's punt return from the Husker 33 to the LSU 34.

Nebraska scored eight plays later. Butterfield's return was set up by the only Husker break the Nebraska offense capitalized on in the first half. game Saturday afternoon at Roberts Stadium.

The exchange occurred deep in Morningside territory during the second quarter of the annual Shrine Illinois Puts Damper on Iowa's 742 Aberdeen Deals North 14-7 Loss opes, IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP)- Illinois capitalized on the running of tailbacks Lonnie Perrin and Chubby Phillips to nail a convincing 27-12 Big Ten Conference football opener over Iowa here Saturday. The Illini power-I offense ran roughshod over the often porous Hawkeye defense racking up a total 220 yards rushing and 47 passing. The near-capacity crowd of 57,200 in Kinnick Stadium, under sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s, was the largest since the 1968 Iowa-Notre Dame game. The outcome avenged a 14-12 Iowa victory here last year. Hawkeyes put together 183 yards rushing and 31 yards passing in the season opener for Link LSU punter Steve Jackson, who had troubles throughout the first half, hit a line drive that was fielded by Thomas on the Husker 26.

But offsetting illegal procedure penalties forced a second punt and But-terfield had his opportunity. Defensive end Bob Martin recovered a Tiger fumble on the LSU 34 in the third period, but the Tiger defense, led by cor-nerback Clint Burrell, shut off the Huskers forcing a field goal attempt. Coyle put the ball through the uprights from the 27-yard line with 5:23 remaining in the period. LSU's only score capped a 64-yard, 10-play drive, highlighted by two Lyons' passes. He hit Bo Dunphy with a 14-yard aerial and three plays later hit Robert Dow with a 17-yard strike that put the Tigers on the Husker 26.

Tailback Terry Robiskie then carried 2, 10 and 4 yards to set up Lyons' scoring scamper. The Huskers missed a second period scoring opportunity when the Tiger defense rose up and stopped an eight-play, 55-yard Nebraska drive on their own 20. Coyle tried a field goal 16, North sent George Windsor over left tackle for seven big yards to the nine. Cochrane tallied on the next play. Dave Hansen kicked the point.

North came close to a score late in the second quarter, driving to the Eagle five.

The victory, coupled with Boston's split of a day-night doubleheader with Milwaukee, put the Orioles four games behind the first-place Red Sox in the American League's East Division. It was the ninth victory in the last 11 games for the surging Orioles, while Detroit was being shut out for the 18th time this season four short of the club recopH HU.riMnHi dU i II i Singleton rf 4 2 2 0 Dtiwiir abrhbi Bldon rf 4 0 0 0 Sulherlnd lb 4 0 0 0 Mfyer lb 10 0 0 Horton dh 4 0 10 Olilvie 4 0 10 ARodries lb 4 0 I 0 VeryKf 10 0 0 Blair cf TUavis dh LMay lb Muwr lb Bavkir If Grirh lb 4111 5 I I 0 41)00 00 It 10 11 1111 BRobinm lb 4 1 1 Duncan 4 i I 0 Belangw la 4 1 1 0 DAIundr 9000 LRobertt rf Humphry MUbcn Penu 1010 1000 0 0 0 0 1111 Total 1 10 I Total 11 1 4 0 from the 27 but the attempt was wide left.

They decided to run Cody Harris into the line and he was stopped on fourth down with only a yard gained. In the third, North drove to the Aberdeen 30 behind the running of Ron Bultje, Harris and George Windsor only to fumble and have Don Lechner, a senior end, cover for the Eagles. The Stars' last gasp came in the fading seconds of the game when they drove 37 yards to the Aberdeen 43 only to have Grieben pick off a desperation aerial. The play fooled no one.

Cochrane pitched out to Bultje who was rushed badly as he attempted to find an open North Star. Quarterback Kevin Buntrock covered the ball on the final two plays to run out the clock.

Quarterback Jim Kopatz plunged over from the one-foot line six plays later. Reserve quarterback Kurt Steger ran three yards untouched into the end zone to climax a 75-yard drive for Illinois' final score. Senior halfback Rod Wellington made a bruising 18-yard touchdown run to climax an 80-yard drive in eight plays for Iowa's second touchdown of the game, pulling them to within 13-12 after Quartaro's second kick failed.

Illinois' stellar kicker Dan Beaver then hit his first of two field goals, from the 23, for the only score of the quarter. Iowa went ahead 6-3 at six minutes into the second period, but junior Nick Quartaro missed his first point-after-touchdown attempt in his Hawkeye career.

He also failed again in the third quarter. Illinois came back when linebacker Scott Studwell intercepted a Tom McLaughlin pass and rambled 29 yards for a touchdown.

Jack Nicklaus remained in contention with a 70211, five strokes back. He was tied with John Mahaffey and Rod Fun-seth. Mahaffey also shot 70, Funseth 74. Johnny Miller blew to a 76 and lost any hope of making a successful defense of the title he won in a dramatic playoff last year. He was far back in the field at 220.

Lee Trevino shot 74 for 216. Arnold Palmer failed to qualify for the final two rounds. Weiskopf, who beat Nicklaus in a playoff for the Canadian national title just a couple of months ago, had only one bogey in his superlative effort over the course that ranks among the world's best. That came on the 13th where he hit his drive unplayable in the deep grass. By Russ Ward Journal Sports Writer Aberdeen scored two early touchdowns and made them hold up for a 14-7 win over inexperienced and injury-riddled North at Roberts Stadium Saturday night.

The Stars, now 0-2 after two weekends, yielded two ground TDs in the opening 7Vi minutes, then shut off the invaders the rest of the way. Steve Grieben (from six yards out) and Brien Lux (from one) did the damage. But the young Stars just couldn't make it all the way back. Steve Cochrane, drawing his first starting assignment with Paul Cutler ailing, ran the show for the Stars who managed one score but were frustrated on three other threats. North might have made a better showing had it not been for penalties.

The Stars were guilty of nine infractions totaling 115 yards and this had a big hand in hurting their chances. After the Eagles swarmed all over the hosts in the opening minutes, North tightened its defenses and made a good run at it. When Aberdeen scored the first two times it got the ball, the game looked like it might be a mismatch. But the Stars finally got a break, tackle Mark McKenzie pouncing on an Eagle fumble late in the opening period. The eager Stars took advantage and rolled 36 yards in half a dozen plays.

Cochrane ran the final nine after a nifty pitchout fake but it was a key fourth down play seconds earlier which made it possible.
