"I don't see any sense in hurrying," said the Indians' skipper "Hell, we've got all afternoon. This wasn't a night game. "The umps waited 90 minutes in Milwaukee last week and neither of us are in the pennant race.

They sure as hell could have done the same here. The game meant so much to the race." The triumph moved the Yankees within games of first place Boston in the American League East. New York has nine games remaining. Milwaukee stunned Baltimore, 2-1, and Detroit is only one percentage point behind leading Boston after the Tigers rapped the Red Sox, 7-1, yesterday in the hectic American League East pennant race. Stories on Page C-3.

The quick call of the game didn't bother Yankee Manager Ralph Houk whose team had lost six of its last seven before yesterday. "I sure was good to see the rain and it sure was good to see a few hits come off our bat said Houk, who watched his team storm back from a 2-0 deficit on three homers and the six -hit pitching of Fritz Peterson. The Yanks tied the game in the fourth inning on a two-run homer by Bernie Allen. New York went ahead the next frame on a solo shot by Roy White, and a two-run blast by Ron Blomberg. f4M 1 1 mm -1 mmmm AP Photo AP-Pnoto FUTILE STRETCH Yankee shortstop Gene Michael can't quite reach high throw from catcher Thurman Munson.

CROWNING THE KING Nebraska's John Dutton applies heavy rush to Army quarter back King Fink Fink managed Giants, Jets face stiff tests today Gasienica paces Rutgers victory By VTNNY DITRANI Staff Writer WEST I If the game had been I a 25 years ago, Army might have won by three or four touchdowns. What a difference a quarter of a century can make! Nebraska, the two-time defending national champion, visited the home of the once-proud Black Knights of the Hudson yesterday and bettered by more than four touchdowns the previous high point -mark ever yielded by the Cadets. The contest was not as close as the 77-7 final score might indicate. Actually Army didn't score its touchdown until 35 seconds remained in the game when Barry Armstrong made a diving catch of Dick Atha's fourth-down pass in the end zone. By that time, however, the Cornhuskers let it be known they still are smarting from that opening-night upset defeat by UCLA.

Johnny Rodgers, the All-America wingback, scored twice on passes and once on a run in leading the Cornhusker offense to 481 net yards. Dave Goeller, the second-." string I-back, and Steve Runty, the second-string quarterback, each aj lied twice. ktf Randy Borg, the second-string punter returner, ran a kick back 60 yards for a score, and Bill Sloey, the second-string middle linebacker, ran an interception back 43 yards for isix points. Rich Sanger booted 10 extra points and Ritch Bahe, the second-string placekicker, added an 11th. Rich Glover, the Huskers' All-America middle guard, made 10 tackles and John See NEBRASKA'S, Page C-2 By VINNY DiTRANI Staff Writer BALTIMORE Don Mc-Cafferty has already made his move, and now its up to Boris Ewbank to checkmate.

McCafferty, the Baltimore Colt boss, already has eliminate Eddie Hinton, his best wide receiver, from today's game with the New York Jets (Channel 4, 2 p.m.). Hinton has a badly pulled groin, so McCafferty. is down to Sam Havrilak and Cotton Speyrer as his wide receivers. With this in mind, Ewbank may hold out left corner Steve Tannen and replace him with Rich Sowells. In most cases, the insertion of Sowells into the lineup is tantamount to surrender.

But with Havrilak and Speyrer running the patterns, this could be a chance for Tannen to rest his aching shoulders. The Colts also may be without running back Norm Bu-laich, the brittle Texan who also pulled a muscle in last week's 10-3 less to St. Louis. In addition, tackle Dennis Nelson (ribs) and center Bill Curry (hip) are ailing, making the outlook none too bright for quarterback John Unitas. Unitas was 22 of 36 for 257 yards against the Cards, but 12 of those receptions were to Hinton and Bulaich.

Speyrer (vs. Earlie Thomas) will get his first start after sitting out all of last year with a broken arm. Havrilak (vs. Sowells or Tannen) has been a running back most of his four-year pro career. Tom Mitchell, like Havrilak a product of Bucknell, is the tight end (vs.

Phil Wise) and he caught four passes against the Cards. The Colt line lists tackles Bob Vcgel (vs. Mark Lomas) and Nelson or rookie Tom Drougas (vs. Gerry Phil-bin), guards Corny Johnson (vs. John Elliott) and Dan Sullivan (vs.

John Little), and center Curry or Ken Menden-hall.

"Something like that can help Roy and perk up Blomberg, both of whom have been in slumps," said Houk. The only runs off Peterson, 17-14, came in the third when the Yankee southpaw threw wild to second on a sacrifice bunt by Buddy Bell, moving the runners to second and third. Murcer's throw to the infield also was wild and rolled behind home plate, scoring Dunning who had started the inning with a walk. Bell moved to third on the play and scored on a single by Jack Brohamer, who had three of the six hits Peterson allowed.

"This was a game wa needed because until we won a game, we didn't know how good we were. Now we know." A crowd of 11,000 was on hand yesterday for the home opener and found the result as beautiful as the weather. "We went out there with the attitude Lehigh would not beat us for a fourth straight time," explained head coach John Bateman. "This was the game for Princeton next week or Army Lehigh." Jim Jennings did the expected by rushing for more than 100 yards for the fourth straight time his only four varsity starts. Two of the runs paid off in touchdowns and a 14-0 lead in the first half.

His second score came with the help of Ron Shycko, who contributed 32 yards on five carries in the 78-yard drive. "Shycko was really the big i Bateman said. "He's the fastest man we have but, in the past, was too slow attacking the holes. Today, he hit them the way we've been after him to do." The junior running back from East Paterson carried only five times all last season, but yesterday he lugged the ball 13 times for 63 yards. "Ron was super in practice all week," lauded Gasienica, who completed 11 of 21 for 112 yards.

Jennings, who played despite a severe charlcy horse, carried 26 times for 117 yards before sitting out most of the final quarter. "Shycko knew he'd play If he showed us something In practices," Bateman added, "and that's what he did."

"We just can't afford to make the mistakes we did against Detroit and hope to beat a team as good as Dallas," said Giant coach Alex Webster yesterday after sending the team through a workout at Yankee Stadium. The oddsmakers figure the Giants will make enough mistakes to lose by nine points. Webster hopes to reduce offensive mistakes by starting Randy Johnson at quarterback.

Johnson was the No. 1 man until hesustaineda bruised clavicle about a month ago. Norm Snead came to direct the club to three straight exhibition wins, but in the regular season opener last week was faulted for his play-calling and his inability to get away from the mediocre Lion pass rush. Johnson is faster and can roll away from trouble. With All -Pro tackle Bob Lilly among the Dallas front four, Webster decided maneuverability was a must.

With Jethro Pugh and Larry Cole joining Lilly up front and with linebackers such as Lee Roy Jordan and Chuck How-ley, the Cowboys can put on a frightening pass rush. The only newcomer in the defense Is Pat Toomay, who beat out Andrie for the right end job and sent him to the taxi iquad. It's also probable Johnson will vary the offense more than Snead, who completely Ignored the deep receivers. One change will be the use of Ron Johnson as a receiver. Snead went mainly to fullback Charlie Evans, leaving himself with a blocker.

It's certain more emphasis will be placed on Johnson. A big worry for Webster Is By BOB KURLAND Staff Writer NEW BRUNSWICK-Leo Gasienica had a good day by throwing for one touchdown, scoring another and setting up a third but he credited a pep talk by an assistant coach for Rutgers' stunning 41-13 upset over Lehigh. "Coach Frank Burns talked to us before the game and when we went out to play, we felt we could beat anyone." two more i 1 1 i runs to score. Matlack, now 14-9, was the victim of two Met errors that allowed three unearned runs in the final two innings but he lowered his ERA to 2.30 while walking three and striking out four. Four of the Met five runs were driven in by sacrifice flies, tying a National League record held by many clubs.
