Ricardo also kicked a 35-yarder in the third quarter to climax a second-half opening drive that began with Leonard Thompson's 32-yard kickoff return. Later, Lem Barney returned a punt 30 yards and Detroit wound up with a 24-yard Landry to Hill scoring pass. Simpson's first TD came In the closing moments of the third period, with wide receiver Bob Chandler throwing a perfect cross-body block on the final defender, Levi Johnson. A 87-yard, six-play Lions' drive resulted In a four-yard touchdown run by Bussey at 1:24 of the final period. It was set up by a 28-yard run by Landry, his longest in four years.

Despite his great statistics, Simpson said, "Going Into the game I felt I hadn't been able to help the team like I feel I can. I was just not doing the things I'd like to do." Without Simpson, the Bills would have been almost devoid of offense, Buffalo quarterback Gary Marangi did not come close to his pass receivers most of the day, completing only four of 21 pasjei for 29 yards. The game's first score did not come until midway through the second quarter when Landry concluded a 69-yard, 10-play march with a 21-yard touchdown pass to Hill.
Soon afterward, Detroit got the ball back on the Bills' 18 when Keith Moody dropped a punt.

The man has thousand moves." Buesey said, "I grew up watching O.J. He's an unbelievable back." Somewhat reversed Simpson seemed somewhat reserved about the whole thing. "The purpose of coming in Is to win and not to set a record," he said. "If it occurs, It occurs." Some have theorized that Simpson, who missed training camp and the entire exhbltlon season in a contract dispute, would quit after this season.

Fond du Lac High School's basketball team learned anew the wisdom of that saying Wednesday night when the Cardinals, after getting their noses bloodied by such Fox Valley Association bullies as Oshkosh West and Kimberly, took out their frustrations on West Bend West. The Cardinals, who brought an 0-2 record into the game, dumped the Spartans, 71-54, before a disappointing turnout of less than 1,000 fans in their home opener at Goodrich gymnasium. Senior guard Rick Zielinski, a slick 5-10 operator, was the outstanding player on the court as he scored 14 points, handed out 12 assists and played an outstanding defensive game to lead Fond du Lac to its first victory this season.
Zielinski had plenty of help from the other seniors on the Fond du Lac team.

Neither Crowe nor the Centaurs disappointed the fans as they recorded a 96-87 victory over UW-Fox Valley (Menasha) in their home opener. It was the Centaurs second straight win. Crowe, who was coming off a one-game suspension because of disciplinary reasons, made his debut with the Centaurs a good one. The 6-5 former all-stater led the Centaurs with 28 points.
He hit 13 of 29 shots, a .448 percentage, and added two free throws. Crowe's adept passing earned him five assists, several of the spectacular variety. "Mickey played well for us. He had some problems on defense when we went to a man-to-man, but I hid him on a small guard who wasn't scoring in the half," Centaur coach Dick Knar said today. If Crowe attracted the most attention, unheralded Mark Stephany, a 5-10 freshman from Fond du Lac, came up with the most solid overall game.
"How can I forget Stephany. He was the difference in the first half when we were having some trouble with Fox Valley," Knar said. "He was getting those three-point plays for us." Stephany wound up with 2 8 points, scoring 18 in the first half.
