Tagge. a first-round draft choice of the Green Bay Packers, went through three quarters of frustration in the annual College All Star Football Game as the Cowboys established a 2(H) lead. Ileisman Trophy winner Pat Sullivan of Auburn then came off the bench for Nebraska coach Bob Devaney, who directed the all-stars with the aid of seven of his Cornhusker assistants, and a Cutout by moving the collegians 80 yards in the fourth quarter to produce a 20-7 final score.

Arnold Palmer and new partner Jack Lewis were still hoping.

And Ix'e Trevino was down the road. That was the situation today gomg into the Third Round of the $206.000 Professional Golfers Association National Team Championship. Gilbert and Wadkins were tied for the top spot with former University of Houston teammates Kermit Zarley and Babe Hiskey. Each team had a 36-hole total of 130, 12 under par in this event in which the scoring is based on the better ball of each team. Palmer, who teamed with Jack Nicklaus to wm the last two team titles on the Laurel Valley Golf Club course, tabbed the 25- year-old Lewis as his partner when Nicklaus had to withdraw with an infected finger.

The Gilbert-Wadkins and Hiskey-Zarley teams held a one stroke lead over Alabama neighbors Hubert Green and Mac McLendon and Frank Beard and Deane Beman, tied at 131. Beard and Beman had a 63 and Green-McLendon 66 Zarley and Hiskey matched the best round with a 63.

Hastings Larry Sock, a 17-year-old high schooler from Norfolk. was playing mediocre golf Thursday during the opening round of the State Golf Tournament and was five over par when he reached the 13th hole at Lochland Country Oub. At that point Sock had a possible score of 80 staring him in the face. But his second shot on the par four, 423-yard 13th hole turned his golf game around. His 200-yard two-iron shot went in the hole for an eagle.

On the next hole Sock sank an 18-foot putt for a birdie. He parred 15. 16 and 17 before picking up another birdie at 18. After a poor start, Sock played the last six holes Thursday in four-under par and finished the day with a one-over par 73, one stroke off the lead. He continued his hot golf streak Friday and recorded a 72 on the tough Lochland course.

Unlike Thursday. Sock played consistent golf Friday as he had 14 pars, two birdies and two bogeys in posting his even par round. 45 total tied him for the tournament lead with Jim Brownfield, who was one of 33 golfers who completed their second round Saturday morning after a rain storm suspended play late Friday afternoon. kind of stunned at the way been said Sock. been hitting the ball real Until now Sock exactly set the world of golf on fire this season.

REYKJAVIK (UPl) -World Chess Champion Boris Spassky is so badly beaten that he even ask for postponement of ninth game against U.S. challenger Bobby Fischer, Miguel Najdorf, the Argentine grand master said Saturday. There was speculation that the 35-year-old Leningrad journalist might ask for a postponement of the next game to recover from his defeat in the eighth game Thursday.

Sullivan was the kinetic force in the 80-yard touchdoMTi drive, which ended w'hen Bob Newhouse, stubby fullback from Houston, crashed across the goal from less than a foot away. Stangely enough.

Roger Staubach, like Tagge, also failed to account for any touchdowns. The No. 1 man in the saddle lost his bearings after a second-quarter tackle, and it was the forgotten man, Craig Morton, who passed for both touchdowns in 20-7 victory before 54,162 fans at comfortable cool Soldier Field.
