Both Oakland runs were unearned following i 1 lan's third-inning error and the Cinderella Mets, who outhit the A's 7-4, wasted a fistful of chances after that in a futile attempt to overtake the defending world champions. Wjth a less than capacity crowd of 46,021 cheering them on, the A's played a Mets-type game, taking full advantage of the breaks to beat New York. And the biggest break was the error by Millan, the usually smooth-fielding second base man.

"It went through my legs, said Millan. "I just missed the ball. It was an easy out. It's too bad it happened now." Millan's shortstop partner, Bud Harrelson, called it a hop," but it was enough to beat the Mets. Holtzman's hit was no pow der puff, though.

It was a sharply hit ball past third base.

PB-Fosse. 2:26 ,021. Kentucky 6-1 0 ing a steady rain, that eventually left the artificial turf of Middle Tennessee's field soaked to the brim, Murray dropped its first game of the 1973 season before the upset-minded Blue Raiders. Arrington finally decided the issue with a booming 46-yard field goal with 2:32 left in the game, creating a Middle Tennessee gained only five yards in three offensive plays from that point, but Arrington, who had booted one other 46-yarder during his career, followed with his long and true boot. Murray quarterback Tom Pandolfi brought the Racers right back, refusing to yield to the elements.

To Top By BOB COOPER Associated Press Sports Writer LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) North Carolina's rjffense, held in check early in the game, came alive late in the third period when passes from Bill Pas-chall to Ted Leverenz started and ended a drive that sent the Tar Heels to a 16-10 football victory over Kentucky. North Carolina's other scores- -two field goals and a touchdown-came after Kentucky er rors set the Tar Heels in mo tion.

But with only minutes left in the third period, Paschall hit Leverenz with an 11-yard pass and seven plays later the same combination produced a 15-yard touchdown. The score sent North Caro lina aneaa ib-ii) and tired up the Tar Heel defense that allowed Kentucky only one good move for the rest of the day. Bruce Elia and Cornelius Greene scored the touchdowns on respective runs of one and two yards. The Buckeyes wrapped up their second Big Ten victory on a 36-yard field goal by Blair Conway and a one-yard touchdown run by Elia, both in the fourth quarter. Wisconsin, which had lost by just four points to second-ranked Nebraska two weeks ago, fell to 1-4, including 0-2 in the Big Ten.

The Badgers, who entered the game ranked eighth nationally in running, could penetrate no further than the Ohio State 39 yard line until midway through the fourth quarter. Wisconsin marched to a first down on the Buckeye 34 in the final period behind passes of 14 17-14 upset win for the host eleven. It was enough to make Coach Bill Furgerson and his Racers, who had rolled to four victories in as many tries, want to sing the "Rain, Rain Go Away" tune. The winning three-pointer actually was a direct result of the wet field. Murray's Steve Martin had dropped back to punt when the Racers were faced with a fourth-and-one situation at the Raider 42 with just over four minutes to go.

But, Martin didn't get a chance to kick, for the snap was low and squirted off the soaked turf through his legs. The Racer punter picked up the loose ball and made a try at advancing it but Middle's defensive unit was there to half the effort at the Murray 34. The 24-yard loss proved to be a disastrous blow to the MSU effort. an early lead, marching the ball 80 yards after the opening kickoff with Rick Hill plunging from the one for the touchdown. Cam Bonifay made good the first of two extra points.

Holloway Directs Tennessee Victory Over Georgia Tech A stadium record crowd watched visiting Cornhuskers knocked furiously at the Missouri touchdown doors three times earlier and the Tigers turned them away. Missouri, ranked 12th, went into the lead with 2:01 left when Tom Mulkey scored on a Rudder in the end zone for the six-pointer. Thereafter, Tennessee had the upper had for the remainder of the contest.

North Carolina now is 2-3 also. North Carolina's go-ahead touchdown came on play after the Tar Heels rejected an easy field goal for a tie and went for the score with fourth and inches on the Kentucky 20. The Wildcats made it moot by jumping off side.

Kentucky's lone touchdown came after Ned Lidvall recov ered a North Carolina fumble on the North Carolina 35 and sophomore Alfred "Sonny" Col lins carried five straight plays and 13 yards from Gregg Boh-lig to Jack Novak. But linebacker Rick Middleton intercepted a Bohlig pass at the Ohio State 22 on the next play, and the Buckeyes drove 78 yards in 10 plays to Elia's second touchdown. iThe' Buckeyes scored the only TD they needed with 18 seconds left in the first quarter after a pass from Greene to Fred Pa-jac gained 22 yards to a first down on the Wisconsin two yard line.
