Saturday, Oct, 9, 1971 The Lincoln Star 11 Murta ugh Refuses To Divulge Pirate Starting Lineup BALTIMORE A Pittsburgh Manager Danny Murtaugh, determined to wait for one of his refused Friday to divulge his starting lineup for the World Series opener between the Pirates and the defending world champion Baltimore Orioles. insistence on maintaining his policy left major question-marks after the names of two of the heroes of the playoff victory over San baseman Rich Hebner and outfielder A1 Oliver. And their ultimate fate be known to an anticipated capacity crowd of 52,137 and a national television audience watching via NBC until just before the 1 p.m., EDT, starting time Saturday of the opener of the best-of-seven series. Murtaugh did confirm that right-hander Dock Ellis would start for the Pirates against left-hander Dave McNally. And, he emphasized that his refusal to announce a starting lineup should in no way be taken as an attempt to get an edge on the Orioles.

no reason to try and get an edge on this the cigar-chomping Murtaugh pointed out. pick out my lineup by the way I feel that morning. nothing scientific about it. Sometimes I platoon, sometimes I I call it just Then, noting some smiles among his listeners, Murtaugh seemed to stiffen. make fun of me because of how I make my he said sharply.

know against Series custom but sticking to my Following customs means that there will be no word on whether lefty hitters Hebner and Oliver or righty swingers Jose Pagan and Gene Clines will be on lineup card when he submits it to the umpires Saturday. But while maintaining his position on the starters, Murtaugh did name two other right-handers Bob Johnson and Steve pitch the second and third after Ellis opens. As for Ellis, who has been bothered by a sore elbow, Murtaugh said, said all right good enough for Ellis said a lot more before the Pirates finished working out, including challenging the controversial label that has been slapped on him. pop he insisted heatedly. see something I like I say it.

If you say what you want in this so calledAmerica I might as well go to Russia. keep saying all achieving with my arm destroying with my mouth. But I believe Ellis will get his opportunity to prove whether his arm is as sharp as his words against a Baltimore lineup that Manager Earl Weaver maintains has more home run power throughout than the Pirates. match Willie said Weaver, acknowledging the superiority of the home run leader with 48, got seven guys that can long ball with statistical evidence showed the Orioles with seven players who have hit more than 10 homers to five for the Pirates. Boog Powell, the big first baseman, skipped batting practice for the second straight day, the back of his right hand heavily bandaged.

But Weaver said despite the torn muscle fibers Powell would be in the starting lineup. definitely said Weaver. may have to come out, but If Powell has to come out, Weaver likely will bring Frank Robinson in from the outfield to play first. opening lineup has Robinson, Don Buford and Merv Rettenmund in the outfield, leaving Paul Blair on the bench and ready for action should some juggling have to be done to accommodate condition. Blair led the Orioles in hitting during the 1970 World Series with a .474 average.

Despite questionable physical condition, Las Vegas oddsmakers have established the Orioles as 8-5 favorites to win their second straight series and their third in six years in a drive to satisfy their dynastic aspirations. The Orioles also were established as 9-5 favorites to win the opener behind McNally, 21-5 during the regular season as compared to 19-9 for Ellis. The Orioles, who defeated Cincinnati in five games last Jerry, Van Carry Vivid Memories By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Columbia, Mo. quarterbacks Jerry Tagge and Van Brownson have vivid memories of their previous two meetings with the always-charging Missouri defense. Ironically, the quarterback who will start Saturday renewal of the Husker- Tiger series is.

the one whose memories of those past two games are least fond ones. Jerry Tagge, who has led Nebraska to the top perch in the national polls this season with four victories, was a victim of the stiff Missouri pass rush here two years ago as the Huskers fell behind by 14-0 in the first half. The Huskers were trailing by only 7-0 late in the first half when Missouri defensive end John Brown barged through the Husker blockers and caused Tagge to fumble at the NU 16. The Tigers went in for the score and a 14-0 halftime lead and the Huskers never recovered. But that was last loss, having won 22 and tied one since then.

A year ago in Lincoln, the Huskers and Tigers were struggling through a 7-7 defensive standoff for three quarters when Brownson replaced Tagge at the Husker controls. Brownson guided the Huskers to a 21-7 victory with two scoring drives in the final quarter. In each of those two years, the game was billed as an early decider of the Big Eight title. Such is not the case this time around. Missouri is not considered a championship contender by most observers and their 1-3 non-conference record has done little to change that.

But Nebraska is not taking the game lightly with head coach Bob Devaney pointing out, done anything at Missouri previously that should make us think things will be easy. They never have been at And the Tigers exactly awed by the 23-game unbeaten string nor by their No. 1 national ranking. junior cener Scott Sodergren says, already know gonna be higher than a kite. I feel great.

never entered my mind that gonna But Missouri coach A1 Onofrio, in his first year as head coach after 14 years as an assistant at Missouri, soberly knows the job ahead of his Tigers. is the finest offensive and defensive Nebraska team since been he says. are an ideal type of team well-balanced, and can do a lot of One reason for the light regard in which many hold Missouri this season was last upset loss to Army by 22-6. But in that one, the Tigers rolled to 380 total offense yards, only to lose scoring opportunities time after time. But for the season offense ranks at the bottom of the Big Eight in rushing, total offense and scoring offense.

year, head into the Series with a winning streak that is a carbon copy of the one they took into the 1970 11 victories at the end of the regular season and three successive playoff victories. They also will have other 20-game winners at their disposal, second game starter Jim Palmer, i a nominee Mike Cuellar and Pat Dobson, who will start the series in the bullpen but could be Weaver's fourth game choice. The Pirates, meanwhile, refuse to accept the estimate that the Orioles are a superior team and point to the 1960 World Series, their last, when they defeated the New York Yankees in seven games. Ellis is one of the Pirates who buy the opinion the Orioles are superior. In his manner, he said frankly: no better than TD Husker Frosh Win With Luck At Helm The Lineups Offense Van Brownson By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Columbia, Mo.

freshman football team, after squandering an 18-0 halftime lead to trail by 23-18 with nine minutes remaining, stormed back with two touchdowns to score a 32-23 victory over Missouri here Friday afternoon. Trailing by 23-18 after a 28- yard field goal by the MINUTES Link Bombardment Hits Rockets, 26-15 Three quick-order touchdowns in the last seven minutes allowed Lincoln High to overhaul Northeast in an intra-city football game at Seacrest Field Friday night. The Links, trailing 15-6, capitalized on a pass interception, a 13-yard Northeast punt and a Rocket fumble to explode to their third win of the season. The Rockets appeared to be on the way to their second win until the collapse. They had a nine-point lead and possession of the ball with a second down on their own 34-yard line with eight minutes remaining.

But Buster Barber intercepted a Gaylen Kennell pass at that point and returned it 19 yards to give the Links new hope on the Rocket 30. Quarterback Bob Folsom busted over left guard nine plays later for the touchdown, but they still trailed 15-12 with 6:47 remaining. When Kennell was stopped on a third down and one situation on the ensuing series, Northeast was forced to punt. The kick carried only 13 yards and Lincoln High quickly advanced 46 yards in six plays to score the go-ahead touchdown with 3:01 remaining. A 21-yard Folsom to Bob Knollenberg pass accounted for the biggest chunk in the crucial drive, which included a 15-yard burst by Barber and a 12-yard gallop by Mark Weaver.

Weaver, a 170-pound senior halfback, finished the game with three touchdowns. He got the Links on the board two plays into the second half with a 64-yard sprint off right tackle to pull his club within one point at 7-6, then added the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard plunge and the insurance tally on a four-yard crossbuck. His last touchdown came Cross Country Win Goes To Peru State Peru Peru State captured the first five places in a dual cross country meet with Doane to clip the Tigers, 15-43.

Halfback Mel Knopp, who swept left end for 27 yards to advance the ball to the two- yard line, scored on a one-yard plunge two plays later with 7:13 remaining. The Links threatened to tie the game twice in the first half, but a five-yard motion penalty stalled one drive on the Rocket seven and a minus 10-yard screen pass just before the halt ended stopped the other march, which had penetrated to the five.

Northeast got on the board a second time with 5:26 remaining in the third quarter when Kennell passed 20 yards to Randy Sehlegel. The Rockets faked the kick on the extra point as holder Rob Ketterer hit end Garry Sullivan, who was wide open. Lincoln High dominated the second half statistics, rushing for 207 yards to increase its game total to 282.

Luck, who hit on 12 of 20 passes for 227 yards, started the winning drive with a 30- yard pass to fullback Tom Ruud to put the ball at the Tiger 44. Moments later a 15- yard personal foul penalty on Missouri moved the ball to the 16. Then with a third down at the 10-yard line, Luck, under a heavy rush from the Missouri defense, found tight end Brad Jenkins in the end zone for the go-ahead six points with 5:03 left. To put the game out of reach of a Missouri field goal, NU freshman coach Jim Ross ordered his team to go for a two-point conversion.

pass to Greg Pilkington was good, but the Huskers were caught holding and had to try again from the 23-yard line. This time toss found Tom Coccia in the end zone for the two points and the Huskers led by 26-23. The Husker defense then responded to a Missouri challenge, stopping the Tigers on a fourth and two at the NU 38. The insurance touchdown was set up when Missouri fumbled a Luck punt and Jerry VVeid, another of the Husker products from Green Bay, recovered at the Tiger 22. Pilkington bolted 20 yards to the two and Luck kept for the final two years to wrap up the scoring with 1:07 left.

Luck, a 6-3, 208-pounder from Fayetteville, N.C., who may battle David Humm for the starting signal-calling job on the Husker varsity next year, passed Nebraska to an 18-0 first half lead. He hit Ruud with a screen pass on a fourth and goal situation after the Huskers had been pushed back to the 27-yard line for a 6-0 lead with 9:48 left in the opening quarter. Then with 2:08 left in the first half, Tony Davis burst through the Missouri line for a six-yard TD scamper and with only 59 seconds remaining in the first half, Luck connected with Rund on a 23-yard scoring strike. That was the end of the Husker scoring until they had to come up with the winning drive after falling behind by 2318. The victory extended the Husker frosh winning streak to seven straight dating back to the 1969 season MISSOURI No.

By STEVE GILLISPIE Star Sports Writer Huron College may not soon forget Willie Sapp and his defensive teammates of Nebraska Wesleyan. The Sapp-led defensive unit contained the Scalpers most of the night as NWU rolled to a 287 win Friday night at Magee Stadium. The victory boosted the Plainsmen to a 5-0 record while Huron is now 2-2-1. Before the fourth quarter when NWU coach Harold Chaffee was playing mostly reserves, Sapp and i defensive friends had held the Scalpers to one first down.

The defense also scored two touchdowns besides stopping the Huron offense. Reed Stephenson intercepted a pass in the flat and went 16 yards for the initial score. The PAT try failed and there was 6:06 left in the first quarter. Dave McGrane completed a 34-yard touchdown pass to split end John McLaughlin for second score with 48 seconds remaining in the first quarter. The next score came in the third quarter with flanker Rick Grell on receiving end of a 37- yard touchdown pass from McGrane.

Ross Stephenson added the point after and NWU led, 19-0, with 2:34 left. Ross kicked a 43-yard field goal into the wind with 13:40 to go in the game for NWU. Defensive back Earl Nannen returned a Scalper punt 57 yards with 4:24 left for the last touchdown. Nannen had picked off a Huron pass just moments before and went 34 yards for a touchdown only to have the ball brought back on a clipping penalty. Carmen DeFelive caught a 44-yard pass good for a touchdown with 8:54 left for score.
