(AP) Mike Langford kicked a 33-yard field goal with 9 seconds remaining Saturday to climax a fourth quarter which lifted Stanford to a 19-19 tie with second-ranked Michigan.

(AP) Junior quarterback Tony Dungy ran for one touchdown and threw for another two minutes later in tha waning seconds of the first half to propel Minnesota to a 38-0 non-conference victory over Western Michigan Satur day. Dungy scored on a three- yard run and passed one yard to AI Conerly for another touchdown with 30 seconds left in the half to help the Gophers to a 14-0 lead at intermission en route to their first victory of the season. Kicking specialist Brian Kocourek drilled a 22-yard field goal midway through the third period and Minnesota was in command with a 17-0 lead. Junior Bobby Holmes, who led the Gophers in rushing with 85 yards in 25 carries. scored on a six-yard run late in the third quarter and Dungy, who completed nine of 13 passes for 105 yards, scored his second touchdown early in the last period.

Western Michigan (0-3) ad vanced to the Minnesota 33 on the first offensive series. However, the Broncos sputtered and didn't get any deeper in Gopher territory the rest of the way. They managed only one first down in the final three quarters. ORR SURGERY SUCCESSFUL BOSTON, MASS.

Al Eveland took over the duties Saturday and was six for-six on extra points, booted a 22-yard field goal and put five of nine kickoffs to the end zone or through it. ference, giving Ohio State a first down at the 33. Later came yet another key third-down play.

Griffin made a diving catch of a Cornelius Greene pass for a first down at the Penn State 45. Then Griffin and Johnson started hammering. Johnson barely made a first down at the 11, but bolted into the end zone on the next play to make it more comfortable for Hayes, who is in his twenty fifth year at Ohio State. Hayes jawed with Paterno and an official at halftime about a play near the Penn State bench. He thought line backer Greg Buttle was guilty unnecessary roughness when he tackled Greene out of bounds.

It a cheap shot," said Paterno. Personal Mark "If Joe said it wasn't a cheap shot, it wasn't," said Hayes. Bahr's 55-yard field goal tied his own personal high. He was rookie of the year in the North American Soccer League last summer and is a three-time all-American soc cer player at Penn State. National Collegiate rules permit him to play amateur football although he is a pro in another sport.

Bahr will bring his act to Iowa City next weekend, but flanker Jimmy Cefalo won't. a 1 missed Saturday's game with a broken thumb and won't face Iowa, either. We 11 take another look at him Monday," said Paterno, "but he'll be out two or three more weeks." This game had so much national interest that it drew scouts from the Orange, Sugar and Cotton bowls. mama But the march bogged down there and Frank Stavroff's 28-yard field goal try missed. 'They Were Too Good' "We didn't come here to keep it close, we were trying to win it," said Indiana Coach Lee Corso, "and we did some things trying to win that gave them a couple of touchdowns.

"We had the chance for the field goal and it might have been a 10-3 ball game going into the halftime, but they were too good for us they just kept wearing us down." Nebraska's only cheap touchdown came after the Hoosiers' tried a quick kick with 4 minutes left in the first half. Quarterback Terry Jones lateraled to punter Trent Smock in the end zone, but Wonder Monds, the former Indian Hills of Centerville player, partially blocked Smock's kick which went out of bounds at the Hoosier 22. It took only two plays from ther. with Davis going the final 20. Curtis Craig, the former thought we were going to win." As he has had to do so often in the past, Paterno had to defend eastern football.

Al though Joe has a record of 87-16-1 and is the nation's win ningest college coach, some one always thinks his teams play some kind of patty-cake brand of football. 128 for Griffin "We don't have to defend ourselves, he said sharply. "This is not a great Penn State team, but it'll get bet ter. We don't have an ex perienced quarterback and no super bacK, but we im Ohio State socked Penn State's defense for 322 yards rushing. Archie Griffin, last year's Heisman Trophy win ner, who has gained 100 or more in 23 straight games.

He had 128 this time 16 more than Johnson. Bahr's third field goal made it 10-9 on Penn State's first offensive foray in the third quarter. A while later, the Nittany Lions got a fresh chance when Baschnagel fumbled a punt at his 38, but Bahr couldn't hit from 57 yards against the wind. With fourth-and-six at the Ohio State 46 early in the fourth period. Paterno sent Bahr in to punt instead of place kick.

He thought he was too far away to try a field goal, Joe said. Diing Catch So Bahr punted to the 20. The next time Penn State got the ball, the game had been decided.

Tom Osborne wasn't ready In give his stamp of approval to Nebraska's offense Saturday, but he called the Buskers' 45-0 victory over Indiana the shot in the arm that quarterback Terry Luck and company needed. Unimpressive offensively in last week's 10-7 victory over Louisiana State, the lluskers rolled up 470 yards in total offense and put together seven scoring drives ranging from 4-1 to 88 yards. The lluskers had managed just 219 yards last week, but they surpassed that total by halftime Saturday as they rolled to a 24-0 intermission lead, then used reserves much of the second half.
