league baseball owners met to discuss moving several franchises because some are losing money and the sport faces a major suit in Seattle Baseball also faces new labor talks soon NFL players turned down the contract offer Again And somewhere out there they played some games too By Associated Press To understand whet is going on in sports one needs more than the ability to understand a squeeze play or a screen pass A law degree specialization in anti-trust laws and a few weeks' tutelage in labor relations from George Meany could come in handy It also helps to understand economics and it doesn't hurt to have a psychiatrist along to explain why all these people are doing all these things Daily there is some new suit another strike another league something which has trthing to do with who won who lost who's hurt and who's going to win the championship Few sports are immune from the deluge of off-the-field controversies Take September for instance: World Football League folded its

fourth-ranked Cornhuskers by a 56-14 margin He praised the Nebraska defensive unit that held the Horned Frogs' offense to just one touchdown The other was scored by defensive back Darryl Lowe after he intercepted a pass by reserve quarterback Vince Ferragamo in the fourth quarter Nebraska's previous gridiron 1idims LSU and Indiana also credited the Husker defense with a major role in their defeats -You know we couldn't run the ball against them" Shofner said "You can't yin if you cant run the ball" "There were three plays that got the score out of hand there in the second quarter" Shofncr said "A penalty on a punt got us in the hole then we fumbled the snap and then came back and throw an interception and it's 28-7 The first three Husker scores were set up by TCU errors Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne echoed is rival "I thought the ICU turnovers in the second quarter deep in their territory timed the game around" Osborne said The Husker defense tackled TCU ball carriers for losses 14 times and allowed the Texans just 16 yards on the ground and 153 in the air our Aetraska running backs picked up more than 50 yards with wingback Tommy Heiser leading with 59 Quarterback Terry Luck kept the visitors off balance with a mix of plays tha included three touchdown passes annd a 98-yard scoring drive in the third quarter that was ground out with 13 running plays TCU quarterback Jimmy Dan Elmer hit split end Mike Renfro with a 21 yard scoring pass in the second quarter but Renfro the backbone of the Frog passing attack managed just one other catch in the game "We got a real workout on pass

ANGELES (AP) The Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association denied a published report Saturday that they had been given permission to talk with 7-foot-2 Wilt Chamberlain the highest scorer in the league's history Jack Kent Cooke the Lakers owner and a Knicks' spokesman both said the New York team had not vet been granted nermission to talk with the 39-year-old Chamberlain who has not played pro basketball since his last game with the Lakers in the 1972-73 season listening to Burke (New York owner Mike Burke) but I'm not impressed with hat he is saying so far" said Cooke "Negotiations are underway but we are a long distance apart right now" Cooke said he would not disclose any details of the negotiations saving he felt it was up to Burke to give any such information Balm sain 'His (Cooke's) preference is to have a player included At this time he doesn't want just cash And as far as a draft choice we already lost our first pick next year in the illegal signing of George McGinnis)" Burke added however "We might get a player from another club We will keep talk-mg until we arrive at an arrangement" An earlier report quoting Los Angeles General Manager Pete Newell said the Lakers had given permission to the Knicks to talk with Chamberlain who scored 23924 points a 301 average during his 14-year NBA career "After all the Knicks are in a desperate situation" Newell reportedly said "They have to make some kind of move and the more dramatic the better" Later however Newell said he did not know negotiations stood and declined further comment A Knicks' spokesman also denied the report "It's not true" he said "We're still talk-mg (with the Lakers)" Results in scoreboard LAS VEGAS Nev AP) Veteran Dave Hill birdied his last two holes for a four-under-par 67 that left him in a tie for the lead with Rik Massengale and Bobby Mitchell in Saturday's third round of the $135000 Sahara Invitational Golf Tournament The stormy sometimes controversial Hill had fallen two strokes off the pace before his late rally provided him with a 51-hole total of 201 12 under par for three trips over the Sahara-Nevada Country Club course a friendly little layout that has yielded some of the lowest scores of the year "I finished up playing pretty good" was Hill's laconic comment after he'd thrown a sand wedge shot only four feet from the flag on the 17th then birdied the 18th from 12 feet The quiet unassuming Mitchell who calls himself "the in isible man" and Massengale matched Hill's 67 in the 95 degree temperatures and shared the top spot Three other players Bob Wynn rookie George Cadle and Australian veteran Bruce Crampton were at 202 just one shot back and another Australian David Graham was at 203 In all eight players were locked within three shots of each other going into Sunday's final round of the chase for a $27000 first prize "The way things are going it looks like a man is gonna have to shoot 67 maybe 66 to win it" Hill said Crampton barged into contention with his second consecutive 65 Wynn had a 68 and Cadle a 67 Graham shot a 66 Wally Armstrong and Miller Barber entered third round play in a tie with Hill Mitchell Massengale and Wynn Armstrong however made double bogey from a pond on the eighth and the 44-year-old Barber encountered a variety of problems Each shot a 75 and dropped well back Defending champion
