The Knights were saved by the bell in the first half as the Tliunderbolts closed with a 12-point blitz in the last two minutes of play to spurt into a 41-35 halftime lead.

Pius Southeast Fouled Desperation Shot Gives Yfesleyan, 92-91, Victory PLAINSMEN ADVANCE TO TOURNEY FINALS Lincoln Star Special Pasadena, Calif.

Dick 25-foot scoring shot with two seconds left in the game gave Nebraska Wesleyan a 92-91 win over Azusa Pacific College of Azusa, Calif, and advanced the Plainsmen into the finals of the Pasadena Basketball Tour nament. Beckler's basket was the culmination of a frantic final minute that saw the lead exchanged twice. With 57 seconds left in the game and the score tied, 89-89, Wesleyan began a stall to set up a final shot. Skip Peterson was fouled by Cinris Michaels and Peterson put the Plainsmen in the lead by hitting one of two free throws. Trying to set up a final Azusa called timeout with 16 seconds left.

The ball was thrown in to Clairborne Jones, a Little All-America and the third leading small college scorer in America last year for Azusa who turned and hit a 15-foot jump shot with six seconds left in game, putting Azusa in lead, 91-90. In desperation, the Plainsmen relayed the ball down court and threw to Beckler, who tossed in the winning tally. Azusa jumped off to a 10-2 lead with 15:56 left in the first half but held it for only about three minutes as Wesleyan came back to take a 12-10 lead. With 3:10 remaining in the half, Azusa held a 44-34 lead but three field goals by Bill Nasi and one each by Roger Nannen and Dwight Tietjen put the Plainsmen back into contention, trailing 48-43 at the half. Azusa opened strongly in the second half and led 7645 with 8:38 left in the game.

However, Tietjen and Peterson brought Wesleyan to within two points of Azusa, 78-76. After Tietjen scored, Bob Vasatka, a former Lincoln High athlete, hit four baskets to make the score it NSaiRASKA ff-ffs ft-lte reb 8-17 1-2 7 SC tp Vasatka 4 17 Peterson 2-3 04) 4 16 Schmutte 0-1 0 0 0 Tietjen Beckler 1-2 1-1 3 1 2 0 29 3 Hahn 0-0 1 2 6 Nannen 3-4 3 5 7 Nasi 2-5 19 4 14 Motz 0-0 1 0 0 Team rebounds 10-n 8 21 92 Totals 41-85 45 AZUSA PACIFIC (91) tp fs-fn ft-fta reb Pf Calinsky 04) 1 2 4 Campbell Jenkins 2-3 4 4 12 2 2 15 Michaels 8-13 8-8 7 424 Forsy 0-0 4 18 1 Jones 4-10 13 1 22 Cailieoat 3-4 0-0 4 0 6 Team rebound.s 4 Totals 35-68 2 39 14 91 Wesleyan 43 88-85, and the lead exchanged hands several times from there.

grouped during the intermission and found a way to crack the Pius press which had been the difference in the first half. Trailing by eight points early in the third quarter, the keefc Knights fought back into contention on the shooting of John Cunningham, w'ho led a nine-point string that put Southeast back on top at 46-45. Then it was game until Tiff Tyrrell's tip-in Southeast in front to stay at 58-57 with 4:40 remaining to play. Tyrrell and Cunningham dropped in free throws and Cunningham followed with a jump shot from the baseline in the next 40 seconds to hike the margin to five points. Then the Knights went into a well executed delay game which put them as much as nine points ahead down the stretch.

Southeast didn't have anyone to challenge Dana Stephenson of Pins for game scoring honors, but capitalized on balance and 51 per cent shooting from the field. Stephenson came off the bench at the start of the second quarter to throw in 12 points which triggered the Pius surge before halftime. He matched that output in the second half to close with 24 points.

10-63 16-70 Huskers Fait Behind Schedate SUN MIGHT REPLACE HARRASSING RAINS TODAY By HAL BROWN Star Sports Writer Phoenix, Nebraska fell two workouts behind in its preparations for the New Night Orange Bowl game, when a Friday night session was called off here because of rain and cold temperatures. The Huskers lost their first workout Wednesday morning when rain kept them inside studying movies. Then after putting in scheduled workouts Wednesday afternoon and twice Thursday, a Friday morning session was postponed when the heaviest rain to hit this area since the arrival came down. Nebraska coach Bob Devaney, just returning from a speaking engagement in Chicago, disregarded intermittent showers Friday afternoon to send his charges through a tough workout that started with 18 Windsprints. When considering the possibility of pulled muscles that could occur when temperatures dropped sharply at sundown, Devaney called off the scheduled Friday night workout and set up the movie projectors for further studies of Alabama maneuvers.

The Huskers got encouraging news, however, from the weather man Friday. The Phoenix weather bureau is forecasting an end to the rain that has been plaguing the area and they even told the Huskers they might see the sun Saturday, with a high temperature of 60. Nebraska coaches had scheduled a workout for Saturday morning and are planning to go through with the originally scheduled scrimmage Saturday afternoon. Devaney, who earlier had slated only one workout for Sunday, now is considering a nighttime session to go along with the afternoon practice in an effort to regain some of the lost time. A night practice Sunday would force cancellation of a steak fry that the Camelback Inn scheduled in the mountains, but Husker coaches are showing little interest in Alabama only two weeks away.

Two members of the Nebraska traveling squad, thinking they possibly would never get into the swimming pool at their lodge, said to the cold temperature and headed for the pool. Mick Ziegler and Rick Haasch, both members of the scouting squad that is plotting maneuvers here, spent several minutes at the massage table sitting on the machines that give a i 1 massage with water heated to 78 degrees. But after departing from the warm water, Ziegler and Haasch neared a sprint re- steak fries with the date with I cord getting to their rooms. STAFF PHOTO BY WEB RAY OU Linebacker Gets $300,000 HIGHEST PAID LINEMAN New York linebacker Carl McAdams of Oklahoma signed the most lucrative professional contract ever for a lineman, Sonny Werblin, owner of the American Football New York Jets, said Friday Werblin, who signed Joe Namatb, Alabama's star quarterback, to a reported contract last year, indicated he shelled out about $300,000 to corral the 6-foot-3, 217-pounder from White Deer, Tex. far as I know the biggest contract ever paid to a Werblin told a news conference at McAdams was present.

Nobis was also a first roimd draft choice of the Houston Oilers of the AFL. I know that Bud Adams of Honstmi offered at least twice as much to Nobis as reported to have signed with at Atlanta," Werblin said.

South Fast Break Could Shake Husker Defense By BARRY BURKHART Star Sports Writer basketball team will meet a team somewhat like Texas when South Dakota University invades the Coliseum tonight at 7:30.

The similarity lies in the fact that the Coyotes, coached by Dwane Clodfelter, are in the midst of a rebuilding year with 5-10 senior playmaker Mike Wilson the only returning starter from last year. But another similarity, which gave the Huskers a great deal of trouble against Texas, is the use of the fast break. Nebraska coach Joe Cipriano was cognizant of troubles with the fast break. The problem, according to Cipriano, was the inability to get back fasts enough on defense. The Coyotes opened their season impressively and lived up to reports that their shooting and speed would be better by defeating the University of Minnesota at Duluth, 85-61.

Since then, however, South Dakota has run into some problems in the persons of Creighton and Wartburg, Iowa. Creighton blasted the Coyotes, 103-58, and Wartburg defeated them, 76-64. But even in its loss to Creighton, South Dakota still used its fast break. greatest asset was its Bluebonnet, Liberty Bowls Set Ole Miss Liberty Favorite Vols Favored Over Tulsa Valparaiso 82, Milford 58 Valparaiso Valparaiso jumped to a 24-15 first quarter lead here Friday night and threw on a tight zone defense to down Milford easily, 82-58.

Houston, Tex. Tulsa Hurricane, which likes to pass because it can cover more ground that way, and Tennessee, which can pass if necessary, meet Saturday in the seventh Bluebonnet Bowl football game. Kickoff time at Rice University Stadium is 1:15 p.m. CST. Tennessee, with a 7-1-2 regular season record, is a one touchdown favorite.

But that doesn't mean too much if past Bluebonnet game results are considered. Chances of the favorite coming through are 1 to 5. Baylor was the only one, and that was over Louisiana State in 1963. Coach Glenn Dobbs says his Tulsa team, with an 8-2 record, wiU go right on passing with the expectation of winning no matter how high or low the score may be. Coach Doug Dickey says his Volunteers pass too frequently unless it has to.

And this was the case in last season game when the Vols stop UCLA and had to go to the air before winning 37-34. Thus, the Blnebonnet classic looms as a wide open, swinging affair, with a chance that recoid 40 points scored in 33-7 Gridders Age Early Houston (UPl) The Houston Oilers of the American Football League have two of on their victory over Rice in 1961 will be surpassed.

It has given up 242.6 yards per game while Tennessee has surrendered 245.6. But its around the goal line where Tennessee shines.

Until it played UCLA and got mixed up in a touchdown-trading melee, Tennessee was about the toughest outfit in the country to score on. The main attractions are two players who between them set 19 NCAA passing and receiving i 11 Anderson and Howard Twilley. Dewey Warren, sophomore quarterback who threw for 274 yards against UCLA, heads the newly-found Vol air strength.

Wc Open golf championship by 12 strokes. i Memphis, Tenn. Bowl veterans Auburn and Mississippi, whose 1965 football seasons were among the most confusing in Southeastern Conference history, clash in the Liberty Bowl football game here Saturday. Mississippi finished the season on a strong note, with victories over Tennessee and Mississippi State, and is a one touchdown favorite. The Liberty Bowl, initiated in Philadelphia in 1959 and played last year in Atlantic City, N.J., had never attained financial success and was moved here two months ago.

The game will be played the new Memphis Memorial Stadium, and officials expect a crowd of 40,000. The weather forecast is partly cloudy and cool with a possibility of light rain. Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. EST. Auburn has a deceptive 54-1 record.

The Tigers, coached by Ralph Jordan, lost the SEC championship on the final day of the season by dropping a 30-3 decision to Alabama, for a 4-1-1 conference mark. The Ole Miss Rebels, after losing three of their first four games, beat five straight SEC foes and finished with a 6-4 record. Both teams scored victories over other bowl-b clubs. Auburn bumped off Florida 28-17 and Ole Miss toppled Louisiana State 23-0 and Tennessee, 14-13. Auburn tied Tennessee 13-13.

Auburn Coach Ralph Jordan and Mississippi Coach John Vaught say their teams are in good physical condition. Jordan plans to start quarterback Alex Bowden, Carl Hardy at tailback, Jim Bouchillon at wingback and Tom Bryan at fullback. The showpiece of the Auburn defense is linebacker Bill Cody, a 215-pound senior. The Ole Miss attack is led by All-SEC halfback Mike Dennis and quarterback Jimmy Heidel. Joining them will be fullback Bobby Wade and wingback Doug Cunningham.

outstanding defensive lineman is 240-pound tackle Jim Urbanek, who was named to the All-SEC team. Bryan was the third leading ground gainer in the SEC with 561 yards and a 4.2-yard average. Dennis of Ole Miss was fourth with 525 yards, an average of 3.5 yards per carry. Auburn ranked second and Ole Miss third in SEC rushing defense, each allowing less than 95 yards per game, but both teams were vulnerable against passes. The two teams played five common foes during the regular season.

Kentucky beat Ole Miss and lost to Auburn. Alabama beat both. Mississippi State lost to both. Florida beat Ole Miss and lost to Auburn. Tennessee lost to Ole Miss and lied Auburn.

Furthermore, the Bluejays hit a torrid 69.5% from the field in the first half and ended the game with 48.5% from the field and 73.9% from the free throw line. The Coyotes hit a respectable 42.4% from the field but had a miserable night from the charity stripe with only In the Creighton game, South Dakota evidenced i lack of a replacement for Bill Bruns who averaged 17 points per game last season and became the fourth Coyote basketball player in history to hit 1,000 points for his career. The Huskers tonight will be missing center Willie Campbell who also missed the Texas game with a sprained ankle. Frank Empkey, 6-8 sophomore, will replace Campbell.

Joining Empkey will be Grant Simmons and Stuart Lantz at guards and Tom Baack and Nate Branch at forwards. Besides Hyde and Wilson, South Dakota will likely start junior Mel Durant at the other guard position, with sophomores Carl Moehring, 6-5, and Jack Theeler, 6-4, at the forwards.
