EAST BLASTS LINKS Zentic Receives 50-0 Victory Southeast Stunned By Fremont, 21-7 By MARK GORDON Star Sports Writer Lee five-year wait ended Friday night. waited five years for this and it was a good way to do said the Lincoln East football coach after watching his undefeated and top-rated Spartans trounce Lincoln High, 50-0, at Seacrest Field for the first East win over the Links in five meetings. The victory boosted the Spartans to their fourth victory while the Links of coach Andy Loehr fell to 2-2. While the defensive Spartans were limiting the Links to a meager 49 yards, their offensive mates were rolling to 324 total yards and distributing their seven touchdowns to four players.

Tom Bothwell scampered to three scores in the second quarter which saw East stretch a 14-0 first quarter edge into an insurmountable 35-0 halftime cushion. Jack Ball scored on a 25-yard run for the first East score and snared a five-yard pass from quarterback Scott Copple for another. In directing the potent East attack, Copple also ran for one touchdown as team allowed the Links just one first down in each half. An indication of the misfortune that was to befall the Links occurred when a bad snap on a punting situation gave East possession at the Lincoln High 10-yard line with just 1:36 remaining in the first quarter. Jeff Putman rambled the yards for the score that gave East 14-0 on the next play and from then on, it was all East's way.

After Jerry Phillips intercepted a pass from Link quarterback Bob Folsom, Bothwell scooted 21 yards with 9:11 left in the second stanza. The senior runner then scored on a 30-yard dash around left coin end and added his final six points on a four-yard jaunt when East recovered the football after kicking off as the Links failed to down the loose football. Penalties nullified two Lin- touchdowns as the Links were assessed 66 yards a point that upset Loehr as much as the inability of the Links to halt the Spartans. do much of anything right he said, and mistakes killed us I think about five of the was 10 their touchdowns were result of our mistakes. It just one of those The Links lost two fumbles, had one pass intercepted and had five bobbled or high snaps on punting attempts.

The Tigers presented Coach Jack Bryant with his 109th career victory after Dan Carmen scampered 60 yards to score on the third play of the game to give Fremont a lead it never relinquished. A stiff wind proved to be a decisive factor in setting the stage. Fremont, after winning the coin toss, elected to take the breeze at its back and kick off. The strategy worked as Coach Frank Capital City club was unable to move and punted out to the Fremont 37. After one running play gained three yards and a pass fell incomplete, Fremont quarterback Gordie Echtenkamp faded again.

Nearly trapped, he found Carmen out in the right flat and the 160-pound senior speedster zig-zagged down the field, breaking four open-field tackles while going through the entire Southeast defense on his way to paydirt. Southeast, without a first down during the first quarter, held the Tigers on their second possession but the third time Fremont had the ball, the host club increased the count to 140. After Fremont tallied its touchdown to open the second quarter, the Knights moved 64 yards to score their only TD. A flat pass from quarterback Tom Partridge to sophomore split end Rick Reynolds ate ip 58 yards. Three plays later Mark Michel smashed over from the one to produce the final 21-7 count.

Sorry, one of my mood was taken by some to indicate he may be just a bit tense on the eve of his first playoff series, particularly against a club as tough as the Orioles, who take an 11-game winning streak into their bid for a third straight American League pennant. But Oakland Manager Dick Williams appear concerned about blue mood, or the fact he seemed to be the same southpaw pitcher the second half of the season that he was during a sensational first half in which he was constantly compared with Sandy Koufax. think this being his first playoff will have any effect on him after the first said Williams. not concerned about him beaten Baltimore the two times he pitched against them.

FACE Bucs Were Rooting For Dodger Victory San Francisco There was an understandably sober reaction in Los Angeles when the San Francisco Giants finally nailed down the National elusive West Division championship and the victory exactly greeted with cheers in Pittsburgh, either. It was no secret that the Pirates, champions of the East, were rooting for the Dodgers to take the West, and for an entirely selfish reason. They simply play better baseball against Los Angeles than they do against San Francisco. In 12 meetings with the Giants this season, the Pirates won just three times.

Against the Dodgers, on the other hand, Pittsburgh held an 8-4 season edge. -TWO REPORTED OMAHA CASES HAVE RESULTED IN RECONCILIATION Saturday HORSE RACING Atokad, South Big Eight: Uldh at Memorial p.m.; Kansas State at Colorado; Iowa State at Kent State; Kansas at Minnesota; Missouri at Army; Southern Cat at Oklahoma; State Colleges Austin, at Nebraska Wesleyan, Magee Stadium, 7:30 p.m.; UNO at Wayne State; Chadron at Kearney; Hastings at Concordia; Dana at Westmar; Fairbury JC at Kemper; Midland at Northwestern; Peru at Southern, S.D., State, Lincoln High Schools: Pius vs Lincoln Northeast, Seacrest Field, 7 30 p.m. CROSS COUNTRY Wesleyan at Doane Invitational; Nebraska at Kansas State; Pius at Ooane Invitational.
