DETROIT - Detroit rallied for
five runs off Dave McNally in the
fifth inning last night, three on a
homer by Frank Howard and one
on a balk by reliever Doyle Alex-

deficit and give the Tigers a 6-5
victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
The triumph kept the Tigers one
game behind Boston but moved
them from fourth to second in

erful Big Eight must once againj
rank as the premiere football con-
ference in the nation in 1972.
Defending national champion
and number one ranked Nebraska
was knocked off by UCLA, 20-17

tition, Three Big Eight squads re-

some great football to surpass
their 1971 showing when Nebras-
ka, Oklahoma, and Colorado fin-
ished one, two, three in the na-
tional polls and four teams made
bowl appearances.
With Nebraska's opening day
loss, the title race was thrown
wide' open. Whether or not new-
