Soturdoy, October 14, 1972 Th Lincoln Star 13 atopy OUT FOR JIBII Rose Tells Campaneris Bats Don't Carry Well In Cincy Park "I say I sorry about it. I no think I do It again. That day my ankle hurt so bad I just threw the bat. Afterwards, I think, Why I throw the bat?" Pete Rose of the Reds welcomed Ca mpancris back Friday and joshed, "bats don't carry well in this stadium." Campaneris' ankle is still sore, but especially wiMi Jackson's bat out of the lineup, his running will be a key to the team's hopes. And he'll be trying to run even though Cincinnati catcher Johnny Bench has a shotgun arm that is the best in baseball.

"If I get a good jump, I can run on anybody," Campaneris said. "I no care who throw if I get a good jump." With Campaneris ailing and Jackson out. the Oakland pit ching staff will be under more pressure than usual to still the bats of Cincinnati's "Big Red Machine." Holtzman, who was obtained by the A's last year front the Chicago Cubs, has proved he can do that. In his last appearance in this stadium in a Chicago uniorm he pitched a no hitter against the Reds. The losing pitcher in that ame was Nolan.

Williams said he will fellow Holtzman in other Series games with Jim "Catfish" Hunter, John "Blue Mooa" Odom and with catcher Bill Freehan while stealing home, said the pain was so bad that he was unable to sleep Thursday night. The knowledge that he is sidelined for at least the first two games in Cincinnati and possibily the entire Series was a severe blow for the emotional Jackson, who had long dreamed of playing in a Series. "My close friend Dave Duncan cried for me on the plane coming here last night and I cried with him," Jackson said. "Look at me, I can't even walk. I feel like I'm 40, but I don't want people to feel sorry for me.

1 don't dig that. The A's are having two doctors examine Jackson before they determine the extent "of the injury but the entire leg is obviously swollen and Jackson said, "I just hope it isn't the knee; I hope it doesn't come down to an operation. Jackson then left for Christ Hospital where his leg will be rayed. A striking contrast to the gloomy Jackson was Campaneris. who said in his heavy Cuban accent, 'I very happy" after being reinstated for the Series.

Campaneris was suspended for the final three games of the American League playoffs for throwing his bat at Detroit's Lerrin La Grow after being hit with a pitch. CINCINNATI (LTD Reggie Jackson, his eyes clouded as he hobbled onto the Riverfront Stadium arificial turf on crutches, gasped, "I can't help the team, I can't play," Friday as his Oakland A's teammates worked out for the opening game of the World Series Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds. The A's received official word late Friday that slugger Reggie Jackson will miss the entire Series. Earlier, it was disclosed that shortstop Bert Campaneris would be allowed to participate in the Series. Campaneris was suspended for the final three games of the American League playoffs.

Charles 0, Finley, owner of the A's, received permission from the baseball commissioner to put Allan Lewis on the Oakland roster to replace Jackson. A's Manager Dick Williams, who will start lefthander Ken Holtzman against Gary Nolan of the Reds, said that young George Hendrick will replace Jackson in centerfield and he will shuffle the Oakland lineup and put Mike Epstein in Jackson's cleanup spot. Jackson, who severely injured his' left leg in the second inning of Oakland's 2 1 victory over Dstroit when he collided CRUCIAL NIAC TEST Concordia, 4 0, To Face NWU Vida Blue. Williams said he'd already told Blue he'd start the fourth game. The A's flamethrower, the relief pitcher of the clincher against Detroit, had complained that Williams wsn't informing him of his pitching plans.

Manager Sparky Anderson of the Reds said that with Jackson out he'll move righthander Jack Billingham into the rotation as his third game starter and push Don Gullett back to th fourth game. Ross Grimsley, the playoff hero against Pittsburgh, wiill start the second game. Nolan says eis concerned about keeping Campaneris and his arm now feels "fine." He credits a tooth extraction last month for clearing up the ailment. Nolan says he is concerned aout keeping Campaneris and Matty Alou off the bases while Holtzman will be concerned with stopping Rose, Joe Morgan and Bobby Tolan from starting rallies But in the final analysis, the key man will be Bench. If he hits, the Reds usually win.

"You can't compare anybody with Bench," insists Anderson. The clubs worked out in brisk, 50 degree weather Friday but the weatherman is predicting perfect October weather in the 70's for Saturday.

Despite using three quarterbacks when the originul combinations were succeeding, Nebraska's freshmen converted three Missouri miscues into 17 points in a 2444 triumph over Mizzou Friday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.

That group, Californians for Nebraska, will be watching the Huskers for the second time this season Saturday afternoon when Nebraska plays host to Missouri at Memorial Stadium. And they'll be hoping for a better outcome than the last time they saw their Huskers, that opening game 20 17 loss to UCLA in the Los Anglees Coliseum. "It was a pretty sick feeling after that game," recalls Otto Baumann, a native of West Point, who served as chairman of the group for several years, relinguishing that chore this year. "We had all dons so much bragging around our offices and at the country clubs. "When we got to our offices Monday morning, our coworkers had strung up crepe paper and we took a lot of ribbing from our golf companions at the country clubs." But like the Huskers have done in their last three games after that opening lo3S, Baumann adds, "But we've recovered from that and now we're hoping to see a big win here." The 190 who made the chartered trip here this week includes parents, relatives and even some girl friends of the Californians on the Nebraska football team.

The group starting making the annual trip to a Nebraska game in Lincoln in 1963 and have made the trip in eight of those 10 years, plus following the team to Hawaii last But when they're not ki Memorial Stadium or on the road with the Huskers, the Californians for Nebraska aren't sitting at home watching another game on TV.

Bv STEVE GILLISPIE Star Sports Writer Seward Concordia, one of few unbeaten state college teams, here Saturday night probably faces its toughtest game of the season. The 4 0 Bulldogs host Nebraska Wesley an, 3 1, in a Nebraska Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game. The Plainsmen won last year, 28 20 and lead, 7 4, in the series. Concordia's closest game this year came in a 14 7 win over Hastings, a team NWU defeated 23 14. ''Wesley an should be the best team we've played this year, offensively and defensively," Bulldog coach John Seevers said.

"The game should be close and is real important to both teams in the conference standings."

Lincoln's Southeast scored twice in the final quarter Friday night for a 21 7 homecoming victory over Lincoln High at Seacrest Field. Southeast converted a fourth first fourth quarter score from the seven to the 38 but fumbled the ball and the Knights recovered. Following the recovery Southeast's ground game moved to the nine.

On a first and tcn for Hastings teamed with Haas on a quick California station and nearly all of them subscribe to Lincoln down and five situation on the Lincoln 18 yard line to keep alive its first scoring drive in the final period. The Knights' Rick Reynolds hit former pass over the middle to tne three. Three plays later, Reynolds plowed in for the touchdown with 5:35 left. Southeast also managed to newspapers.

"We have to pay the station to broadcast the games and it costs us about $2,000 to do that," Baumann explains. They've also been a big help in Nebraska's recruiting of football players from California, an area that was virtually quarterback Rick Haas with clg 1 a seven yard pass on the play. The Bulldogs have starters on offense back from score first, but waited the final untapped by the Huskers until four or five years ago. at the Tigers' 20, Terry Kotchswar picked off a Kevin Shepherd pass and raced in from 22 yards out with 5:22 left in the third period. Knopp once again booted the point after.

Two plays later Pat Ewoldt drove in for the first touchdown.

Mel Knopp kicked the extra point putting the Rockets ahead to stay, 7 3. Knopp returned a punt 33 yards to the Hastings' 32 late in the first quarter. Hastings held for three downs but on a fourth and seven situation Ketterer hit Maske for a 29 yard touchdown with one second left in the first quarter. Knopp added the PAT. In the second quarter Northeast made the most serious scoring threat when they moved to the Hastings' 14 yard line with six minutes points to give the 7 0 halftime three extra Knights a freshman coach Jim Ross.

"We were probably as responsible for the second half as anyone." Despite rolling to a 17 7 halftime cushion, NU scored only once in the final 30 minutes a 75 yard drive culminated by Gary Higps' one yard plunge. That was the only NU score not ignited by a Tiger error. The Tigers, who outgained NU 295 291 in total offensive yardage, were hindred by three interceptions one which led to an 1 touchdown and two lost fumbles which produced 10 Husker points. "I was real pleased with the effort the kids gave that's not a bad football team (Missouri) by any means," Ross saiu. "When the kids hit som idv and give a good effort that's all you can ask." Despite Ross optimism, both starting quarterback Scott, Copple and fullback Gary Higgs noted there was room for considerable improve ment.

"I didn't throw very well on the out passes I was overthrowing and on the long passes, the ball just slipped out of my hand," Copple said. "The blocking up front was real good. "It used to brother me at first about not getting to play all the time, but not now," the former Lincoln East standout said. "The coaches just want to give everyone a chance." Glen Ray of Midland, Tex. and Rick Lemerond of Green Bay, Wis.

saw considerable action although the NU passing game was not as effective as in the opening 33 10 win over Kansas State, NU completed Just 7 to 19 attempts for yards. Higgs termed poor blocking as his biggest area for improvement. "I didn't do the things I was practicing all week for I just didn't block like I should have." Still, the bruising runner from Toledo, gained 62 yards, including a 15 yarder, In winning their 12th straight contest dating to 1969, the Huskers established their dominance early by scoring on their first offensive possession on a 47 yard march in 14 plays. John O'Leary, NU's leading ground gainer, slammed over from the one midway through the opening quarter. O'Leary tallied again on a one yard jaunt with just 2:15 expired in the second frame and the Huskers were safely ahead 14 0.

That drive, which began on an intercepted pass, was aided by a 30 yard Missouri pass Interference infraction. Former Belleuve all state running back Dan Walker paced Tiger runners with 56 yards on 17 carries and scored the only touchdown. Percy Eichelberger, an aggressive 210 pound linebacker from Louisville, drew plaudits for his tackling and pursuit from Ross and his teammates. The loss dropped Missouri to 1 1 while the Huskers moved to 2 0 after the final home contest this season. The Huskers travel to Wichita to face Wichita State on Nov.

"Tnis one trip a year they make back to Lincoln Is a big help because that's quite a distance for the parents of our California players to come. "While the players' parents have to pay tlheir way on the charter, it's much cheaper for them than coming commercially and that's one selling point we can use in our recruiting that a player's parents will have that opportunity to come back and see their son play. "This is the best and most active alumni group we've got." But while the group's cohesiveness is centered around the NU football program, the benefits go deeper than athletics.

'Our defense has gotten better as the season has progressed, but we are somewhat small compared to Wesleyan's defense," Seevers noted.
