(AP) -Kenneth Kleinknecht of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration team notched a kill in 19 minutes Saturday to give his team the victory in the 33rd annual One-Shot Antelope Hunt here. Four other three-member teams got one kill each, but the NASA team was awarded the victory because Kleinknecht had the shortest shooting time. His partners included Glenn Lunney and Harold Gartrell. All three are from Houston. Entertainer Roy Rogers, of the Past Shooters team, also scored a kill.

His teammates, Boh Erickson and Dick Shaw, were blanked. Idaho's team, led by Gov. Cecil Andrus also finished with a kill. Andruss missed his targets but Dr. Richard Meier of Boise reported a kit.

The third teammate, Ernie Day, also of Boiscmissed his shot. Don Dean of Denver scored the lone kill reported by the celebrity team. The other two team members, Guy Madison and Rick Jason, missed their marks early in the day. Bill Moon of the Midwestern Sports mans' team downed an anteloped with his one shot. Teammates Ross Beach and Gerald Larkey were unsuccessful in their attempts.

The host Wyoming team, headed by Gov. Ed Herschler, dropped out of the running when all three team members missed their shots. Herschler and Kirk Coulter, director of Wyoming's Department of Administration and Fiscal Control, fired errant shots early in the day. The third team member, Pete Spriggs of Lander, missed his shot in the afternoon. Ground rules for the contest gave each hunter only one shot to bag an antelope.

The winning team was determined by the number of kills and time in the field. COLUMBIA. Mo Tailback James Coleman ran for two touchdowns and Kurt Steger hit slot back Eric Rouse with a pair of touchdown passes Saturday in leading niinois to a 31-6 upset of mistake-prone and sixth-ranked Missouri. Coleman, who gained 152 yards on 31 carries before leaving the game with two minutes to play, scored on second half runs of two and four yards. Steger, who hit 10 of II passes for 160 yards before also leaving the game earty, hit Rouse with a 7-yard touchdown in the second quarter and 74-yard scoring bomb in the third Illinois, 2-0.

Pisarkiewk-x. who hit only 7 of 19 passes for 64 yards, left the game in the third quarter when he aggravated a shoulder injury he suffered in Monday's practice. Following Gibbons' second field goal, which was set up when Illinois split end Frank Johnson fumbled a reception on his own 28, Illinois came back to take a 246 lead on Sieger's bomb to Rouse. Faced with a third-and five from his own 26, Steger found Rouse alone at the Illinois 45 and the speedy sophomore from Chicago ran the final 55 yards for the touchdown.

On the next North Dakota State series, Mark DeVore picked off a pass by Randy Thiele and returned it 30 yards to the NDSU two-yard line. Jones scored the touchdown on the next play and Muri made his third straight conversion. Dennehy completed seven of nine passes in the first half for 100 yards.

The Bobcats also had 119 yards rushing. The defense held North Dakota State to 114 yards. The Bobcats offensive line did such a good job in the first half that everytime the quarterback got down to the corner where he was supposed to pitch, pass, or run, the corner was open. The Bobcats only touchdown in the second half was in the fourth quarter on a two-yard run by Dennehy. It capped a 36-yard drive.

Bill Hansen recovered a hobbled kick to give the Bobcats the ball. Allison led the defensive statistics with five unassisted tackles and five assists. Mark DeVore had 3-5, Tim Nixon 3-4, Jim Janhunen 3-3, Les Leininger 3-3, and John Close 3-3. Jones finished as the leading ball carrier for Montana State with 53 yards while Mike Vidmar had 42, Dennehy 39, and Don Ueland 31. Coach Sonny Holland said, "This team excites me with its ability to do what they want to do.

This is the first time in 14 years we've beaten both North Dakota schools. "But as far was we're concerned we haven't done that much. We will enjoy the victory overnight and get back to work.

Bill Nutton S-4 By WARREN ROGERS Gazette Sports Editor BOZEMAN Sophomore quarterback Paul Dennehy, who said he felt like a robot in his first start a week ago, methodically took apart North Dakota State University Saturday to give Montana State a 34-7 non-conference football win. Dennehy twice hit Alan Reichow with scoring passes and scored once himself. He had to get over a rough start. Dennehy's first pass was intercepted by Mark Zelinski and the Bison scored on the very next play. Bill Nutton beat the Bobcats secondary and scored on a 36-yard pass play from Randy Thiele.

"Oh, yes, I felt a lot better this week," Dennehy said. "I felt like a robot last week. 1 was real tight. I was tight this week too, but after the first series I felt good." The Butte Central graduate said he was a little worried after that first pass was intercepted. But, he then put the Bobcats option series to good use.

Montana State took the kickoff after the NDSU touchdown and marched from the 36 to the North Dakota State 15 when Jeff Muri kicked a 31-yard field goal. .1 On the next Montana State offensive series, a 19-yard pass from Dennehy to Reichow capped a 74-yard drive. The big play was a 47-yard run by Delmar Jones, sophomore from Helena, to the NDSU 22. Then another MSU sophomore took over. Dennis Dunn, from Denver, Colo, led MSU to its next 10 points.

Next, the Montana State defense helped the Bobcats to a 17-point second quarter and a 27-7 halftime lead. Junior defensive end Mark Allison was the first man on the Bison's punter after the snap from center sailed over his head. The Bobcats recovered the ball on the North Dakota State 11. The Bobcats had to settle for Muri's second field goal; this one was 25 yards. The first of two fumble recovered by Chip Young gave the Bobcats the ball on the 30-yard line.

Three carries by Don Ue-land and one by Dunn put the ball on the 12. The touchdown PAUL DENNEHY 9-14, 113 yards The leading twosome had a one-stroke lead over two other veterans, Mary Mills and Clifford Ann Creed, both under two under par at 144.

"Nearly every putt I made I today broke at least four feet." Young said. PORTLAND, Ore. (UPI) -Veterans Donna Capon! Young and Mary Lou Crocker, playing almost identical rounds with two-under-par 71s, surged into a tie for the lead Saturday after 36 holes in the $45,000 LPGA Portland Ladies Classic.

Crocker and Young each had two birdies and 16 pari for a 36-hole score of 143, three under par on the 6.399-yard layout. Their surge shot them past faltering Beth Stone, the first round leader, with a 69, who soared to a five-over-par 78 In the second round and fell back Into the pack.

Caldwell carried only four times in the second half, but broke for touchdowns of 62 and 90 yards in the final quarter to seal the win. Sentinel held a brief 8-7 lead in the second period after Steve Graves hit Tom Tabor on a 13yard scoring pass and Randy Laird bulled for the two-point conversion.

Lest than a minute after the Phillies snapped three-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the Cubs in Chicago, Pittsburgh dropped a 6-2 decision to Tom Seaver and the Mets in New York. The win for the Phillies was only their sixth in the last 22 games but combined with the Pirates' loss to the Mets, gave the Phillies a bit of breathing room in the pressure-packed NL East divisional race. Philadelphia's "magic number" for clinching the title is now 12. The Phillies and Pirates each have 15 games left in the sea-ton.

Suddenly the Phillies had lost six straight, the Reds were only one-half game behind, the Cardinals only 1 1-2 games behind. Sunday, Sept 27 The Phillies dropped into second place when the Braves won, 14-8, despite Callison's three homers.

The Reds moved into first place by one game with the Cardinals still 1 1-2 games out. But Mauck remained unusually calm. "We're better off going after something than holding it," he said. "We've got to win two (of three) in St. Louis and two in Cincinnati, the pitchers have to do the job." But in the seven consecutive tosses.

Mauck had used 30 pitchers. Monday, Sept 28 Another loss, 5-1, to Bob Gibson in St. Louis dropped the Phillies to third place, 1 1-2 games behind the Reds and one-half game behind the Cardinals. But Mauch said bravely, "We've got time. We've won four in a row a lot more often than we've lost four in a row." Tuesday, Sept.

21 Despite his tore shoulder, Bennett started. "I'll put tome hot stuff on it in the fourth inning." But he was chased in the second in a 4-2 loss as the Cardinals tied the Reds for first place with the Phillies third, 1 1-2 games out. Callison had the flu but got a pinch single. When he got to first base, he was shivering so much, Bill White had to button his warmup jacket. Wednesday, Sept 36 Curt Simmons, signed by the Cardinals when the Phillies released him in 1960, won his 18th game that tea-son, 8-5.

at Bunning started hit third game with only two days' rest. "I don't want to hear anyone saving the Poor Phillies," said Bunning after the 10th straight loss. "It's our own fault All of our own fault." They were now 2 1-2 games behind the Cardinals. On the final weekend, the Phillies defeated the Reds twice. But it was too late to prevent the '64 Phillies from becoming a symbol of collapse, a symbol that haunts the 76 didn't pitch.

Art Mahaffey was inconsistent. Rick Wise was a rookie. Jack Baldschun, Bobby Shantz and Ed Roebuck were in the bull pen. And when the Phillies returned to now-leveled Connie Mack Stadium for a seven game home stand, it happened Monday, Sept. 21 The Reds won, 1-0, behind John Tsitouris when Chico Ruiz stole home in the sixth inning with Frank Robinson up.

"I told myself," Ruiz explained, "if Mahaffey winds up slow again, I go." In his panic, Mahaffey uncorked a wild pitch. But the Phillies still led the Reds by 5 1-2 games, the Cardinals by 6 games. Tuesday, Sept. 22 The Reds battered Short, 9-2 and trailed by 4 1-2 games. That's when Mauch said, "I'd rather be where we are than where they are." But the Reds' manager, Dick Sisler, predicted, "It's going to be tough on the Phillies because they play the Cardinals and that's two teams fighting for position.

It could go down to the end." Wednesday, Sept. 23 Sammy Ellis struck out Callison and Taylor with the bases loaded in the seventh as the Reds won again, 6-4, and moved to within 3 1-2 games. "You are watching," said Steve Boros of the Reds, "a definition of momentum." The Cardinals were five games out Thursday, Sept. 24 The Milwaukee Braves won, 5-3, and when Mauck was asked if he now planned any drastic moves, he replied. "There are no drastic moves.

You play 162 games and you try to win as many as you can." But the Reds were only three games out, the Cardinals only 3 1-2 out Friday, Sept 25 Some players wanted a pre-game meeting, others didn't "There are some things that could be said that the manager might not say," Covington contended. "If you can tell me how to hit a line drive, let's have a meeting," Callison said. "If not, forget it." No meeting. And the Braves won, 7-5, as the Reds moved to within 1 1-2 games, the Cardinals to within 2 1-2 games. Saturday, Sept 24 The Braves won, M.

when Rico Carty hit a bases-loaded triple off Orediggers Pitt pummels Tech 70-0 Gene Mauch, manager, 1964 Phillies. '7'cf rather be where we are than where they are." Danny Ozark, manager, 1976 Phillies. As the Philadelphia Phillies struggled to hold what's left of their once fabulous 15 1-2-game lead over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League East, the frame of reference for historians and vultures is the memory of the 1964 Phillies' faint. Those famous Phillies were in first place by 6 1-2 games with only 12 games remaining. Every baseball trivia nut knows that they then lost 10 consecutive games and finished in a second place tie with the Cincinnati Reds as the St.

Louis Cardinals won the pennant and also the World Series. But who were those Phillies, and how did they turn the magic number into the tragic number? Many people in Philadelphia still blame Gene Mauch, the bristling manager, but he did not have much of a team. In retrospect, the Phillies' 6 1-2-game lead was more surprising than their eventual tie for second place. Dick Allen, then known as Richie, was a rookie-of-the-year third baseman with 13 homers, 91 runs batted in but 40 errors. Johnny Callison was an outfielder with 27 home runs.

But they and Tony Taylor, the second baseman, were the only every day regulars. Mauch juggled his other players Danny Cater, Frank Thomas, Vic Power, Ruben Amaro, Bobby Wine, Cookie Rojas, Wes Covington, Johnny Briggs, Alex Johnson, Clay Dalrymple and Gus Triandos. As the only healthy starters, Jim Bunning and Chris Short had to pitch with only two days' rest. Dennis Bennett had a sore shoulder but pitched. Ray Culp had a sore shoulder but from Matt Cavanaugh, who ATLANTA (UPI) Tony took over at quarterback early in the second period when starter Bob Haygood suffered a torn ligament in hit left knee which may sideline him for the remainder of the season.

Cavanaugh threw touchdown passes of 50 and six yards to Gordon Jones and scored himself on a four-yard run on a keeper early in the third period. Georgia Tech had trouble moving the ball against the Panthers most of the game, but drove 85 yards to a touchdown late in the second period, the tally coming on a one-yard sneak by freshman quarterback Mike Jolly. Dorsett continued hit early bid for a Heisman Trophy by ripping off 113 yards and three touchdowns Saturday night while pacing fourth-ranked Pittsburgh to a 42-14 victory over Georgia Tech. Dorsett, who rambled for 181 yards against Notre Dame last week and now has a career total of 4,428 yards in his drive toward the all-time NCAA career rushing record, scored on a six-yard run in the first period, a five-yard run in the second and a 10-yard run in the fourth as the Panthers completely outclassed the Yellow Jackets. Dorsett had plenty of help SPOKANE, Wash.

(AP) Quarterback Steve Wilson threw two touchdown passes and kicked eight conversions to help the Wbitworth Pirates down the Montana Tech Orediggers 70-0 in a nonleague football game here Saturday. Wilson connected with 10 of 13 passes for 188 yards, while teammate Duane Matthews completed five of eight passes for 152 yards. Matthews tossed three passes for touchdowns.
