(AP) Quarterback Neil Graff tossed three long touchdown passes Saturday to give John Jardine his first collegiate coaching victory as the Wisconsin Badgers upset 16th-ranked Penn State 29-16 Saturday afternoon in an inter-sectional football game'. Graff connected with tight end Larry Mialik on TD bombs of 68 and 54 yards and tossed a 27-yard strike to wide re ceiver Terry Whittaker. It was the second straight defeat for the Nittany Lions.

Penn State was ranked No. 4 in the nation in the Associated Press poll before losing to Colorado last week. Wisconsin's defense, which came up with four interceptions and two fumble recoveries, sparked the Badger victory. Defensive back Danny Crooks picked off a Penn State pass and returned it 27 yards to set up Wisconsin's go-ahead touchdown in the fourth period, after the teams had been deadlocked 16-16. The final Badger TD came two plays after Mike Mayer recovered a Nittany Lion fumble.

The victory gave Wisconsin a 1-1-1 record after losing to Oklahoma and tying Texas Christian. Penn State is 1-2, after last week's loss had snapped a 31-game unbeaten streak. Wisconsin had posted a three-season record of 3-26-1 before Jardine took over the reins this year. Penn State scored first as Mike Reitz split the uprights with a 25-yard field goal. But the Badgers boomed back to take the lead when Gary Buss picked off an errant Penn State iTDies son both scored.

Minnesota tied it in the bot tom half on a single by George Mitterwald, Thompson's double and an infield Out. 1 It stayed that way until the fourth when Baltimore broke it open. Frank Robinson, leading off, punched a single to right and raced to third on Hendricks second fait of the game. Brooks Robinson's sacrifice fly got the tie-breaking run home. Then consecutive singles by Dave Johnson and Belanger loaded the bases, bringing up Cuellar.

The Twins had a hunch the pitcher might be bunting on squeeze play and played Kille brew close at third base. But on a 1-0 pitch, Cuellar swung away, lofting a fly ball down the rignt field line. Right fielder Tony Oliva an gled over and seemed to be de ciding: whether to catch the ball, risking a sacrifice fly, or to let it drop in foul territory. Finally, it dropped, but it was fair and just over the wall for a grand slam. When Buford followed with another homer, Bill Zepp replaced Perry and, after Paul Blair struck out, Powell zoomed a shot some 407 feet to left field for the third homer of the inning and a 9-2 lead.

That looked like all Cuellar would need. However, Minnesota nicked him for a run on To-var's two-out RBI-single in the fourth and then jolted him with a 437-foot homer by Killebrew leading off the fifth. i i gm (LP TP SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1970 down play.

The University of Minnesota-Morris Cougars played control ball throughout and cashed in on scoring opportunities in the second and fourth quarters to shut out Winona State College 17-0 here Saturday afternoon. The Warrior defense performed admirably throughout against the bigger Cougars, but the offense faltered on almost every series, losing four or five fumbles, including three in the first half, to the tough Morris defense. Ed Salcedor, a junior from Ecuador and a left-footed, soccer-style kicker, put Morris on the scoreboard on the first play of the second quarter with a 47-yard field goal.

Homecoming By DAN NYSETH Sunday News Sports Writer Wind, cold and disappointment characterized Winona Cotter's 1970 Homecoming Saturday afternoon at Jefferson Field. The Ramblers were pushed from one end of the field to the other as they were smothered 48-0 by Rochester Lourdes' hard-nosed ground offense. Two early-game onside kicks by the Eagles were foiled by Cotter's receiving team, but beyond that the Ramblers were virtually at the mercy of the visiting club.

Cotter quarterback Steve Wilt-gen surprised Lourdes' defenders with a 27-yard pass to Tony Kleinschmidt on the game's first play from scrimmage, but; that long gainer set the stage only for a Rambler fumble. The Eagles promptly bobbled the ball back to Cotter, but the offensive squad was unable to move the pigskin. In fact, it lost 11 yards in three plays. BRUISING fullback Bill Bray sparked the ensuing Lourdes touchdown drive with 38 yards in four carries. With a fourth Cotter stun which continues Sunday.

Cuellar, a 24-game" winner and an .089 hitter during the regular season, hurt the Twins more with his bat than he did with his arm. He surrendered six runs and 10 hits in less than five innings of work and it took 4 2-3 innings of shutout relief by 40-year-old Dick Hall to nail down the decision for Baltimore. Bnt before he left the game, Cuellar put the Orioles in charge with his grand Islam ho- Ellis, the Pittsburgh starter, had locked in a scoreless pitching duel in a tense struggle overshadowing the unique situation created by the first umpires' strike in baseball history. Cline, acquired in a trade with Montreal in June1, came to the plate knowing one thing: "You can't ever think of being a hero from the bench. And I don't think I'll ever be any hero witn tne guys we have." But Cline belied the thoughts he explained in a happy dress ing room after the game by col lecting a triple that was only seventh hit off Ellis.

Pete Rose then singled to end the scoreless tie and Lee May wrapped it up with a two-run double. version. The halftime score read 32-0. The Eagles received the sec ond half kick-off, and used 11 plays to travel 60 yards for an other six-pointer. Canfield did the honors this time, squirting in from 17 yards out.

Bray scored the two-point PAT. Taking over from Cotter on downs, the Eagles found themselves in excellent fourth-quarter field position. They used only four plays to travel from Cotter's 2 into the end zone. Deutson threw another TD pass to Sullivan for that score. Bray again converted the two points.

Until then, Nolan and Dock zone to raise the Eagle total to 22." John Hockert tallied the two-point PAT. LOURDES initiated a drive late in the second quarter that appeared to be doomed for lack of time. With five seconds remaining on the clock, the Eagles had a chance to run one last play.
