J. CARR Staff Writer College football muscles its way to the center of America's stage today. It is the beginning of 11 long weeks of grind and glory, and for the Big Four, there are some challenges that would give Samson the shakes. Carolina is at home against Kentucky but State travels to Richmond Duke meets Florida in Jacksonville and Wake Forest journeys to Nebraska.

The other four Atlantic Coast Conference teams also move outside, with South Carolina going to Georgia Tech Virginia Tech (1:30) and hosting The Citadel These are the additional games admitted by the NCAA this season in hopes of adding funds to some athletic budgets which are reeling toward red. Some guaranteed themselves fat day, but at the same time assumed the position of an overwhelming underdog. CAROLINA KENTUCKY The Wildcats can grit their Collegiate Openers By HERSCHEL NISSESON The Associated Press Big-time college football begins its 1970 season this weekend an earlier-thanusual start designed to alleviate some of the sport's financial problems. The National Collegiate Athletic Association gave its members permission to schedule 11 games this fall instead of the previous 10 in the hope that the revenue from an extra contest would help defray some of the zooming costs of college athletics in general. Some 66 of the 118 major football-playing colleges scheduled an extra game and most of them will be played Saturday.

Is college football on the skids? "If it is, you can't tell it out says Stanford's John Ralston, whose 10thranked Indians face Arkansas at Little Rock in the National television opener (ABC-TV, 6 p.m., EDT). Twelve ranking teams are scheduled for weekend action, highlighted by the StanfordArkansas clash and a meeting Baseball Carolina center Keith Hicks is ready for first snap The Sports Observer by Dick Herbert It is a new decade and hopefully a successful one for Atlantic Coast Conference football teams.

All of the schools are aware of the lack of football success against the major powers of the outside. They are active trying to make their teams competitive. In some cases it is almost impossible.

The News and Observer Sports teeth and growl, but it will take more than that to beat Carolina, which is moving at an accelerated pace in the Bill Dooley regime.

The Tar Heels have most of their starters back from last season, and today might employ, Paul Miller at quarterback. The former Ayden hero, who never lost a game in high school, has been waging a furious war with last year's regular, Johnny Swofford, and spring game star Mike Mansfield. But regardless who quarterbacks, Don McCauley is destined to run extensively. A year ago, he gained 1,092 yards and was named the ACC's player of the year. Kentucky went 2-8 in 1969, but Coach John Ray, in his second season, sees more speed and depth and aims to straighten out an offense Saturday, Sept.

12, 1970 that sputtered too often last fall. A pair of sophomores Jimmy Reed and Cecil Bowens, and Lee Clymer (Wake Forest transfer) should augment the running game. Former Raleigh Broughton standout, Al Godwin, is slated to start at flanker. Dave Roller (All SEC) anchors the defensive line. STATE-RICHMOND The Wolfpack pads softly, moaning about inexperience, and fretting over Richmond's formidable passing combination of Charlie Richards and Jimmy Livesay.

But State always pads softly at this time of the year, very discreetly operating behind a screen of secrecy. So Richmond is cautious. Coach Earle Edwards hints that the forward pass could be a dangerous Wolfpack weapon this season, with George Botsko and Pete Swirko adding speed at end and transfer quarterback Pat Korsnick flashing a strong arm. Four offensive regulars returned from last season, and five defensive starters are back, including two-time AllAtlantic Coast Conference safety Jack Whitley and rugged middle guard George Smith. Richmond tied for the Southern Conference crown a year ago, and Richards turned the defenses into debris, amassing 2,556 yards on 175 completions.

might throw many passes FLORIDA They in Jacksonville that the secondaries pass out. Duke has quarterback Leo Hart, who owns 12 ACC records, and Wes Chesson, who gets open repetitively and catches anything that is catchable. Meanwhile, Florida flashes junior John Reaves, the Nation's No. 1 passer a year ago, and fleet Carlos Alvarez, who caught 12 touchdown tosses in 1969. Both teams are blessed with solid running backs, but the Blue Devils are starting five sophomores in their offensive line and lack the depth the Gators flaunt.

To further complicate matters for the Blue Devils, Florida will be playing its first game under Coach Doug Dickey, who has undoubtedly Rosemary Casals leaps for return in U. S. Open Tourney Court Gains Finals in Bid For Rare FOREST HILLS, N.Y. (AP) Big, powerful Margaret Court of Australia slammed into the women's final of the U.S. Open championships Friday and faced only one more obstacle tiny Rosemary Casals of San -in her bid for a rare tennis grand slam.

Seldom venturing to the net but devastating from the back court. the 28-year-old housewife from the country town of Albury erased Nancy Richey of San Angelo, 6-1, 6-3. The 5-foot-2 Miss Casals, thwarted just short of the last round the previous two years, advanced through a 6-2, 6-7, 6-2 victory over Virginia Wade Gibson Stops Mets On Five-Hitter, 5-2 NEW YORK (AP) Bob Gibson fired a five-hitter for his 21st victory of the season, pitching St. Louis to a 5-2 victory over New York Friday night that dropped the Mets out of their share of their National League's East Division lead. The loss dropped New York into second place in the hectic NL East race, one-half game Pittsburgh and one-half game ahead of Chicago.

Both the Pirates and Cubs had Friday off. Gibson allowed only three singles until the ninth when the Mets broke through for both their runs. Wayne Garrett walked, Cleon Jones singled for his third hitting straight streak to hit, 19 extending games, and Dave Marshall doubled for one run. Another run scored on Ken Boswell's sacrifice fly. Gibson matched zeroes with Tom Seaver for three innings before the Cards busted loose with four in the fourth.

Joe Hague started the rally with a single and Joe Torre walked. Jose Cardenal's double into the left field corner drove in two runs and then Cardenal moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on Carl Taylor's single. Ted Simmons walked and then pulled a double steal with Taylor. When Jerry Grote's (throw sailed into center field, installed some of his Tennessee traits into the Gators' attack. He inherited numerous starters from a Florida team that went 9-1-1 a year ago, and this season ranks among the country's top twenty.

WAKE NEBRASKA The Deacons have probably never had a tougher opener. Nebraska simply has 29 lettermen back from last season's power that crushed Georgia 45-6 in the Sun Bowl, and that says enough. Wake, however, figures to be stronger than it was a year ago, when it went 3-7. It has experience on defense, some promising junior college backs, and a pair of capabie quarterbacks in Larry Russell and Jim McMahen. But need more than that against Nebraska a lot more.

Pirates Are Underdogs At Toledo TOLEDO, Ohio East Carolina's new look under Coach Mike McGee has its first showing here Saturday night (8:00) in the Glass Bowl against highly favored Toledo. The Rockets were 11-0 last season and are expected to be stronger. They have 15 starters back from the undefeated team of 1969. McGee, on the other hand, has only four players who started a year ago. He has installed a pro-type offense in of the Clarence Stashvichingle wing He, his staff, and 44 players arrived here Friday afternoon by chartered jet.

A light workout was ordered for 8:30. in Birmingham between thirdrated Southern California and No. 16 Alabama. Ninth-ranked Nebraska entertains Wake Forest, 14thrated Kansas State hosts Utah State, No. 15 Florida tackles Duke in Jacksonville, 17thranked South Carolina visits Georgia Tech and 18th-rated UCLA is at Oregon State.

Oklahoma, tied for 20th with West Virginia and Auburn, journeys to Southern Methodist while WVU is at home against William Mary. Ohio State, ranked first, and runner-up Texas open their seasons later while 11th-ranked Missouri played Baylor Friday night. Other key games include Kentucky-North Carolina North Carolina State-Richmond, Tulane-Texas Tech, Colorado State-New Mexico State and Califonia-Oregon. Holy Cross, which canceled its last games a year ago after an outbreak of hepatitis struck the entire squad, returns to wars against Army at West Point. Eight doctors plus lab technicians greeted the Crusaders at practice and gave them a clean bill of health.

If 1970 is indeed the Year of the Quarterback, as the publicity mills predict, it won't take long to find out. Stanford's Jim Plunkett, one of the prime Heisman Trophy candidates, will be on the firing line against Arkansas' Bill Montgomery, himself a super quarterback. Other aerial battles could be on tap between Southern Cal's Jimmy Jones and Alabama's Scott Hunter, John Reaves, Oklahoma's Duke's Leo Hart and Florida's Jack Mildred and SMU's Chuck Hixson, who should own bushel of national re records before too passing. Kansas State's Lynn Dickey and Georgia Tech's Eddie McAshan, first black QB at a major school in the Deep South, also will be in action. Depth is Problem Five players hobbled by injuries this week will be in uniform and will see some action.

Four of them are starters. Depth has been one of the major problems encountered McGee, who last season was in charge of the offensive line at the University of Minnescta. He will start John Cassazza at quarterback and hopes the aerial attack will bother Toledo defense that have 11 lettermen starting. Carl Gordon has been very impressive for the Pirates as a wide receiver. The running backs will be veteran Billy Wallace at fullback and Les Strayhorn at tailback.

Dick Corrada will be the flanker. Bob Hileman will start at tight end; Tim Tyler and John Hollingsworth are the tackles; Steve Davis and Mike Kopp, guards, and Mark Pohren, center. McGee believes his guard bination is as fine as any, but Kopp is one of players with injuries that will limit his play. Toledo has a spectaculr quarterback in Chuck Earley, the last scrimmage completed 14 of 17 passes. The Rockets will not have tailback Tony Harris, an runner.

Fullback chartiancole has been bothered by an injury but will be available. The Toledo backfield made all. conference as a group last season, but sophomore Joe Schwartz has broken into the lineup. Two years ago the Rockets opened their season by defeating Richmond, 31-14, and the losers then went on to win the Southern Conference championship. Last season Toledo blasted Davidson, co-champion of the Southern, 56- 33, in the Tangerine Bowl.

A capacity crowd of 16,500 is expected. Fair weather has been predicted. In other games involving Southern Conference teams, The Citadel is at Clemson; Furman at VMI, William Mary at West Virginia, and Richmond is host to North Carolina State. Davidson does not play until Sept. 26.

The tempestuous Miss Wade blew a fuse over a line call in the second game of the third set after staving off defeat with a searing forehand in a sudden death tie break. She never regained her composure after that. Mrs. Court and Miss Casals will play Sunday for the title and the $7,500 first prize that goes with it.

A triumph will give her a sweep of the four major championships Australian, French, Wimbledon and U.S. -Won previouslv only by Maureen "Little Mo" Connolly in 1953. Jenkins Goes Against Bucs By JERRY LISKA Ferguson Jenkins of the Chicago Cubs has a dramatic spot Saturday to become the National League's first 20- game winner four successive seasons since San Francisco's Juan Marichal did the trick from 1963 through 1966. Jenkins, rallying brilliantly after a struggling start, takes a 19-14 mark against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the opener of a pressurized twogame set in the NL East's sizzling pennant chase.

With a small-sized blanket covering the embattled New York Mets, Bucs and Cubs, Jenkins will try to best Pittsburgh's Bob Moose (9-9) for a victory which would deadlock Chicago and the Pirates at 76-68. Jenkins, who earlier had a frustrating 2-8 record, attributes his resurgence to the fact "I feel good and I'm not The Pirates, who dropped two out of three to the Cubs in Pittsburgh earlier this week without ailing Roberto Clemente hope to have him back for the Cub series. The slugging outfielder has been in his native San Juan for treatment of a back injury. Sweep Scoreboard Standings American League Eastern Division Pct.

Semifinals in the men's division are scheduled Saturday at the West Side tennis club with only Cliff Richey Nancy's 23-year-old kid brother, standing in the way of a potential Australian monopoly of this $176,000 event.

In the other bracket, Wimbledon champion John Newcombe, seeded No.

2, plays Ken Rosewall, No. 3, In a battle of the new and old breed of Australian tennis. Newcombe now is favored to take the title, won a year ago by Rod Laver, but many experts give a good chance to the 25-year-old Rosewall, once king of the pros whose style and steadiness make him the game's picture player. Mrs. Court and Miss Casals have a deep mutual respect for each other, although Mrs.

Court has won all four of the matches played between the two this year. "Rosie beat me in Melbourne three years ago and in the Pacific Southwest two years ago," said Mrs. Court. "She is a little tiger out there. She is all over the place.

You have to stay with her." Rosemary said it was often frightening just to see the towering Mrs. Court on the other side of the net. "She has such long arms and legs," said Rosie. "She can reach anything. You have to play twice as hard as you do against any other player." Nicola Pilic of Yugoslavia and Pierre Barthes of France won the men's doubles title by upsetting Rod Laver and Roy Emerson of Australia 6-3, 7-5, 4-6, 7-6.
