The Packers lost, 19-16, in overtime. Lions 1 9, Packers 1 6: How thoy scored By Tom Oates and Greg Cieslewicz Sports reporters GREEN BAY Until he injured his knee early in the fourth period of the Green Bay Packers' 19-16 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions Sunday, Jeff Drost was the Packers' best defensive player. On one series early in the game, Drost made tackles on three consecutive running plays for a total of minus-2 yards.

Detroit seldom went his way again. He was also the only Packer lineman to pressure Detroit quarterback Todd Hons all day. He felt his left knee give way early in the fourth quarter, sat down for a couple of plays and then returned, only to have it go out again on the jiext play. Drost was finished and so were the Packers, who watched Hons pick them apart behind near-perfect protection for the rest of the game. Drost, who injured the same knee in his senior season at Iowa last fall, said the knee wouldn't be checked until today.

However, Packer trainer Dominic Gentile said he thought Drost hyperextended the knee. "Getting Drost out of there really hurt us," Packer coach Forrest Gregg said. "We weren't getting any pressure at all on the passer." It took a few years, but Detroit coach Darryl Rogers, who once coached at Arizona State, finally got the last laugh on Packer kicker Max Zendejas, who once played at Arizona. "When Darryl was at Arizona State, it seemed like we always beat them by a field goal," Zendejas said. Zendejas, three-for-three Sunday and perfect on six field-goal attempts in two games, kicked a 45-yarder with no time left to send the game into overtime.

"Zendejas has beaten me three times before and I thought when he kicked that ball that tied us, 'Oh boy, deja Gregg seemed to agree after Sunday's game that the replacement players are playing harder than the regulars did before the strike. "I can't say our (regular) guys don't give a great effort," he said. "But these people here, they bust hite for 7 yards and to Pat Scott for 9. Packers Lions I their cans. When you watch them out there they're going after it I think our (regular) people do too, but, man, these guys are sort of special in that regard.

I think they appreciate where they are a little bit more than our regulars do." Jerry Quaerna, a Fort Atkinson native, played the entire game at right tackle for Detroit. The 6-foot-6 Quaerna, who started only six games in his career at the University of Michigan, was finishing up his degree work when the Lions called and asked him to play. "I wasn't really expecting to play any ball this fall" he said. "I was trying to get under 250 pounds. I was getting tired of being up around 300.

So I think I'm a little light for my position. My guards weigh more than I do." Besides Drost, the Packers' most serious injury was to safety Anthony Harrison. Harrison sustained a neck injury when he smacked into receiver Eric Truvillion at the 4-yard line. Harrison's hit caused a fumble, but sent him to a local hospital on a stretcher. Harrison returned from the hospital with a clean bill of health.

The injury forced the Packers to move former University of Wisconsin athlete Von Mansfield from corner-back to free safety. Tony Dollinger fulfilled part of his childhood dream Sunday by playing at Lambeau Field. The only problem was that Dollinger played running back for the Lions and not the Packers, who he followed religiously while growing up in Oconto. The Packers refused him a tryout after he graduated from tiny Evangel College. "It felt great," said Dollinger, who rushed for six yards and caught two passes.

"I have been wanting to play here since I was itty-bitty, since I started coming here with my dad. It really felt great to play on the same field that has had so many legends. "I do wish I was on the other side. Apparently they didn't want to do that." villion on a fade pattern for 19 yards to the 7. Packers 13, Lions 11 Lions: FG Prindle from 27 yards.

No further talks were scheduled. Management blamed the break on the players' continuing demands for free agency.

The union said it was a deliberate move to put more pressure on the players to break ranks and cross picket lines. "We're at a roadblock; we're mired down," said Jack Donlan, who negotiated with union head Gene Up-shaw for a little more than five days, the longest single bargaining session of the strike, in Tysons Corner, Va. The players did approve, however, a resolution which said they wouldn't let any single issue stand in the way of an agreement. The 28 player representatives are to meet again today in Chicago to plot their course and try to head off any more defections. The two sides seemed as far apart as ever Sunday as the second round of games were played with non-strikers and replacement players.

The owners predicted strike-replacement games would gain acceptance as time went by, and that seemed to occur in at least some of the places. Despite rain in at least six cities and heckling pickets in others, attendance rebounded sharply, with a total of 325,545 fans at the 13 games, almost a third more than the 220,788 who showed up on the first strike Sunday. The NFL's replacement teams played to 37.7 percent of capacity Sunday, compared with 25.8 percent last week. Dallas drew the largest crowd Sunday 40,622. Atlanta had the smallest crowd, down from 16,667 last week to 8,684.

At East Rutherford, N.J., just 9,123 down from 16,471 Monday night turned out to see the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants drop to 0-4. porous On the season, Illinois has averaged 10 points per game while allowing an average of 17. The Badgers came out of its physical confrontation with Iowa with four injuries, UW trainer Dennis Hel-wig said Sunday. Linebacker Vic Fortino stretched a nerve in his shoulder and is doubtful for the Illinois game. Kick return specialist Shawn Peters and running back Eric Ford each sprained ankles.

Peters will miss the Illinois game; Ford's status is questionable. Linebacker Leon Hunt has a strained shoulder, but el wig said he likely will be ready to play Saturday. olIL LUBE FILTER Install new oN filter Up to 5 quarts of 10W30oil a CompJeta chassis lube Expires 10-24-87 M195 QUAKERV STATE YOUR CHOICE WE DO 1.

They can beat some people, no question about it." The Badgers get more into their own level of play in the Big Ten the rest of this month. Wisconsin plays at Illinois (1-4) at 2:30 p.m. Saturday and then hosts Northwestern (0-4-1) and plays at Purdue (1-3-1).

The Illini have an 0-2 record in Big Ten play, like the Badgers. But their problems are different Illinois has allowed just 19 points in two conference games, but it has scored but nine. In a 9-3 loss at Purdue on Saturday, the Illini had 10 fumbles and lost the ball eight of those times. First quarter Lions: Field goal Mike Prindle from 19 yards. Time left 57 sec- onds.

We played with intensity, made some big plays (three sacks) and forced some turnovers (three fumbles).

I feel we're geting better." To listen to Iowa coach Hayden Fry, who has never lost to Wisconsin, the Badgers shouldn't get down on themselves after two weeks of competition against two of the better Big Ten teams. "I really hope the Wisconsin players don't get their heads down," Fry said after the game. "I hope they keep coming back because they're a Baseball notes to have the services of slugger Jack Clark. "We put him on the roster with the hope he could play by the sixth game but I don't think we will have him," Herzog said. "We just havent been able to stick that big hit in there that would put us up by two or three runs." The Giants are accumulating all kinds of playoff records.

They are the first NL club to hit home runs in five consecutive league championship series games. They have tied a record with nine home runs in one series. They continue to add to their record for double plays in a series, now up to 10. Win Clark became the second NL player to hit in five consecutive playoff games. The wind at Candlestick Point on San Francisco Bay were 15-25 mph throughout the afternoon and occas-sionaly gusted much higher, according to the National Weather Service.

Pitcher Joe Price, a first-year Giant who threw one-hit shutout ball for five innings to pick up the victory, said the wind may have helped him.

The inexperienced Badgers have allowed more points than any other Big Ten team this season 131 in five games.

In the last four games, the Badgers have allowed an average of 31 points. "We just can't give up that many points," said invert linebacker Pete Nowka, the only player on the defensive unit who started a game before this year. "Our goal each week is to hold teams to 17 points or below so that we give our offense a chance. Twins' Kirby Puckett follows Reardon, who saw two of his best fastballs hit hard in Saturday's 7-6 loss to Detroit, went to a crackling curveball Sunday. Reardon went after pinch-hitter Johnny Grubb in the ninth inning with fastballs, and Grubb singled to center.

That's when Reardon decided to change his strategy. "I went mostly with my curvebafl. When I say that, I mean half-and-half, because I usually throw about 80 percent fastballs," Reardon said. After Grubb singled, Reardon got Whitaker to pop out to shortstop and then struck out pinch-hitter Matt Nokes and Kirk Gibsoa is last pitch I 1 1 14 WHEEL DISC-DRUM BRAKE RELINE Walt doe pacM and nw iw dram brak Hotog. twanngs and torgu to pw.

Two glaring mistakes by Evans cost the Tigers two runs as the Minnesota Twins beat Detroit, 5-3, to take a 3-1 edge in the best-of-seven series. Evans' first mistake came in the Detroit sixth. Detroit was trailing, 4-2, when Chet Lemon started the inning with a single and went to third on a single by Evans.
