By STEVE GUSS Midland College hopes to break a precedent against Nebraska VVesleyan at home Saturday not scoring on the Plainsmen. The Warriors, on the short end of the 32-10-5 series edge, won in seven years, show only 12 points in the last six games and last touched the grass in the Wesleyan end zone back in 1964. Those figures faze Harold Chaffee. never played a Midland team yet that give us a tough the Plainsman coach notes. Chaffee says the Warriors are a lot better than their 28-7 loss to Hastings showed last weekend.

Midland coach Max Kitzelman agrees. would have been a different game had we not given them the ball three times inside the 15 and once inside the Kitzelman will go with three freshmen in his backfield. The trio mustered only 149 yards offense last week, but is going to come around. A 5-11, 180-pound Larry Holmes is the new quarterback. He is flanked by other first- year performers Spencer (lilbert (5-7, 170) at flanker, Willie James (5-9, 165) at LINCOLN, NEBRASKA FRIDAY, SEPT.

18, PAGE 17 halfback and junior veteran Bryan Nitchie (6-0, 194) at fullback. James scored 21 touchdowns in his senior year at Kankakee, and is hard to contain. John Gurnb, a 5-10, 170-pcund senior, is being used in the defensive secondary rather than at a halfback spot. Gumb runs the 100 in :09.9 and is a hope to cut down strong passing attack. scouting on 28-8 win over Dana showed that did a good job throwing the ball and the coaches told me we have to get down and work if we want to Max says.

Chaffee is worried somewhat by a roll-out quarterback because the Plainsmen had trouble covering that against Dana. He also wasn't especially pleased wdth his running game that netted only 77 yards. going to use only two plays simplify things. Wc had too many frosh mistakes and the execution was poor. got to get better On the plus side, the coach was impressed with the play of a number of individuals.

Peery played well (defensive end) and (defensive guard) Roger Griffin gave us a total Freshman punter Rick Grell, defensive back Russ Ellis, offensive end John McLaughlin and quarterback Steve McKelvey, the latter two most responsible for the NWU scoring, had a good game. win the first game on defense and not on Chaffee explains, so like to see the pile up on the Memorial Field scoreboard in Fremont Saturday.

and third place Chicago. The Pirates and Cubs foolishly showed Corlee (King) lit up for their games and lost, allowing the Mets to gain ground on both of them. By Associated Press The New York Mets have the knack of gaining ground in the topsy, turvy National League East race. They simply play. The Mets took the day off Thursday and consequently couldn't lose.

The same be said of first place Pittsburgh Philadelphia knocked off Pittsburgh 3-2, cutting the lead to I'a games over New York. The Cubs bowed to St. Louis 9-2 and remained two games behind. Elsewhere in the National League Thursday, San Francisco nipped San Diego 4-3 and Houston whipped Los Angeles 10-5, eliminating the Dodgers and clinching the West Division race for idle Cincinnati. In the American League, Baltimore clinched the East Division title when Boston edged second place New York 5-4 in 10 innings, eliminating the last challenger.

The Orioles w'ere shut out for the second straight night by Washington, 2-0, Cleveland rapped Detroit 6-2, Minnesota edged California 4-3 and Milwaukee edged Kansas City 4-3 in 13 innings. Traditionally, pennant races are described in terms of the loss If a traditionalist, the Pirates have a two-game edge there. But in this race, it seems that the all-important won column. The NL East contenders find easy to lose. But winning, ah, winning has become quite a job for them.

Over the last nine games, for example, first place Pittsburgh is 4-5 the same as second place New York. Chicago has charged into contention with a 54 mark over the same period. The Pirates fell victim to a suicide squeeze bunt against the Phillies, spoiling the comeback of Dock Ellis, who made his first start in seven weeks.

Turner) Omaha Ron Stander, winner of his previous 14 pro- fessonal fights, battled to a draw Thursday night with a more experienced Manuel Ramos, victor over such notable boxers as Ernie Terrill and Eddie Machen. Although Stander, of Council Bluffs, felt he had won at least seven of the ten rounds, both judges and referee Gene Buzzello gave each fighter an identical number of points. Buzzello and judge Jack Anderson both scored it 97-97 while judge Paul Limas had it 98-98. The Council Bluffs Butcher, who had never gone more than six rounds previously in his bi ief pro career, started cooly, stalking his opponent and taking plenty of time, a reversal fiuni his usual brawling type form. In the second round Stander managed to slice up left eye with a barrage of blows, but the veteran ring fighter Ramos managed to withstand the attack.

In pi-climinary matches Thursday nfght, Chuck Hernandez won a unanimous decision over John McDuff, also of Omaha; brother, Dale, defeated Stan Kramer in 2:55 of the first round on a TKO in their lightweight bout; Dick Pelster took a unanimous decision over Willie Williams of Cleveland; Clem Tucker of Omaha and F'red Jimenez of Minneapolis battled to a four-round draw in a welterweight bout and Jackson of Omaha lost on a TKo to Harold Carter in 2:39 of the third-round when the Omahan dislocated a shoulder.
