Dallas quarterback Roger Staubach, performing with a bruised right shoulder, fired two touchdown passes and scrambled to set up Duane Thomas' winning five-yard scoring gallop to give the Cowboys a wild 28-21 victory over Los Angeles yesterday in a battle of National Football League division leaders. Staubach, who has led the Cowboys to four consecutive victories since he was instated as the No. 1 quarterback, wasn't on the field when Thomas broke a 21-21 tie early in the fourth period on his sweep around left end.

Top ranked Nebraska stormed 74 yards in the last three minutes this gray, pulsating Thanksgiving afternoon to come from behind with a four touchdown performance by Jeff Kinney for a 35-31 football triumph over second ranked Oklahoma. The victory, Nebraska's 21st in succession, ran its 1971 record to 11-0 and extended its string of games without defeat to 30.

A capacity crowd of 61,826 and a national television audience watched the Cornhuskers fall behind not once but twice yesterday before they came back on Kinney's fierce charges through the leaky Oklahoma defense. During the winning drive, Kinney carried the last four times in succession and made 15 yards, the last two for the touchdown. Earlier in the drive, Kinney had carried three times for 44 yards. Kinney's earlier touchdowns came on runs of one, three, and one yard. Johnny Rodgers, the Cornhuskers fleet receiver, made the other Nebraska score in the game's opening moments with a sensational 72-yard punt return.

Six minutes before Nebraska got the clincher, the Cornhuskers' only mistake of the game had put Oklahoma ahead, 31-28. After Lucious Selmon recovered Jerry Tagge's fumble on the Oklahoma 31, the Sooners drove 69 yards in 12 plays with Jack Mildren hitting Jon Harrison for the final 17 yards that put Sugar Bowl bound Oklahoma out front for the second time. The Sooners spotted Nebraska a 14-3 lead in the early moments of the second quarter and went ahead for the first time on a 78-yard, four-play burst in 46 seconds with time running out in the first half. Mildren ran for five on the keeper and Joe Wylie slammed off left tackle for a first down at the 33. Mildren, eyeing the clock, hit Harrison with a 43-yard strike that put the ball on Nebraska's 24.

Mildren faded just behind the scrimmage line on the next play and found Harrison again, the split end grabbing the ball just inside the five and racing over. Oklahoma drove 80 yards on 13 plays with Mildren slamming through the left side from the three immediately after Nebraska had taken a 10-point lead. Leon Crosswhite and Mildren got 78 of the 80 yards. The Cornhuskers. after Rodgers had staked them to a 7-0 lead, made their first drive late in the first quarter when Jim Anderson forced Greg Pruitt's fumble after a jarring tackle by Joe Bla-hack on the Nebraska 46.

Twelve plays later, Kinney dived over the goal from the 1. Between the two Nebraska touchdowns, John Carroll kicked a 32-yard field goal. Football experts predicted before the game that the Sooners, a one-point underdog in this top college contest of the year, could conquer the Cornhuskers if they overcame their biggest weakness-fumbling. Oklahoma lost three fumbles and the proud Cornhuskers wasted no time driving for touchdowns after two of them. Oklahoma's defense, another questionable factor, was magnificent in the first half, holding Nebraska's vaunted running game to 67 yards.

Staubach returned to the game to take the Cowboys to the Ram 10-yard line as time ran out. The cowboys moved ahead of Washington a full game in the National Conference Eastern Division with a victory while the Rams dropped into a virtual tie with San Francisco in the NFC West. Staubach rifled touchdown passes of 51 yards to Bob Hayes and 21 yards to Lance Alworthi making his first TD catch as a Cowboy after Isaac Thomas bolted 89 yards with the opening kickoff for Dallas in the nationally televised contest.

The loss overshadowed a fine performance by Ram quarterback Roman Gabriel who completed touchdown passes of 33 yards to Bob Klein and two yards to Pat Curran. Larry Smith scored the other Ram touchdown on a one-yard plunge. Gabriel hit 20 of 35 passes for 234 yards while Staubach completed 8 of 14 passes for 176 yards.

Biggie Munn was stricken with a crippling heart attack and is apparently through as Michigan State AD. And it's been understood all along that if Kush could ever be enticed to leave ASU, Michigan State would have the test chance of pulling it off.

The thoughts of both Weber and Kush, though, will be on the present, not the future, when kickoff time (7:30) rolls around tomorrow night. Weber's teams have had good shots at the Sun Devils the past two years failing by 38-24 in 1969 and 10-6 last year. Boh Weber "I've always gone into the game thinking we had the good chance to win," said Weber. "This year is no exception. "For us to win," Weber continued, "we have to play the real aroused football game the perfect game.

'It will take great middle linebacking on our part to try to control their rushing game. We look at the key as being there and the fact that you need to score a lot of points to beat ASU." For Kush's 9th-rated Devils, it's a matter of pride. They've beaten UA six straight times and have clearly wrested the dominance in almost all athletic endeavors from their down-state arch-rivals. "Any old adage you want to use about a big game fits here," said Kush. "Being a favorite doesn't mean a thing.

I know our players will be fired up for Arizona. Our coaches already were by last Sunday." There's always a lot to lose and a lot to gain when UA and ASU meet on the football field. It's just that this time there might be a lot more at stake then just a football game. Frank By JIM MURRAY Los Angeles Times Service Not much was happening around Honolulu City Hall. Oh, there was lady on the loose with two sticks of dynamite and threatening to blow it up and they hadn't found her yet.

But Hawaii Five-0 was on the job and in the mayor's office hizzoner wasn't worried. It had been 29 years since I saw Frank Frances Fasi up close. You see, we used to go to school together back in Trinity College in Hartford, Conn. "You've gotten fat," Fasi said. He hadn't.

He sat there puffing a pipe, this man a lady was looking for to dynamite. He wore a red brocade vest, silver-tipped cowboy boots, a string tie and his hair, a silver gray, fringed to the nape of his neck. He looked as if he had just ridden into town with his own deck and notched guns. Back in those sweet college years, we always knew "Fazz" was going somewhere either the White House or the big house. He looked then like a young John Garfield, flat nose, wary jet black eyes.

Papa had migrated from Sicily to peddle ice in the streets of East Hartford. Times were hard. Fazz had been an all-state high school football player but he came to Trin on an academic scholarship and, at 157 pounds, he played center on offense and linebacker on "defense. He also sang in the choir even By STEVE Frank Kush and Bob Weber face each other across the turf at Sun Devil Stadium tomorrow night for the third time. It might also be the last.

Speculation has abounded this week that if Weber fails to bring his University Wildcats home a winner this time, he may have coached his last game at the UofA. And there is also speculation that Kush may be winding up his sensational career at Arizona State and heading for the head coaching job at his alma mater, Michigan State. Weber's really in the hot seat and his prospects of winning border on slim Frank Kuh and none. His 5-5 Wildcats are at least three-touchdown underdogs to Kush's 9-1 Sun Devils, Western Athletic Conference champions and Fiesta Bowl host to Florida State (Dec. 27).

This is Weber's third season at the UA helm and if success is measured by winning seasons (as they usually are), then he has failed. Seasons of 3-7 and 4-6 didn't enhance Weber's position as the 1971 campaign started. Losing to teams it should have beaten early in the season got the Wildcats and Weber in hot water with fans and alumni. Things were salved somewhat with unexpected triumphs over Oregon State and Brigham Young. Then things hit rock bottom last weekend when the Wildcats were humiliated by San Diego State, 39-10.

Arizona has been accused of not being properly prepared by the coaches for that game. And Weber said afterwards that the game "didn't represent a challenge to us" though victory would have guaranteed a winning season (and those have been a rarity at UA). So the word filtering up from Tucson this week has been to the effect that perhaps only a victory over A-State can keep Weber on the job. A loss he's probably gone. And a big loss could cause even bigger reverberations in the UA athletic department.

The speculation surrounding Kush is simply that it appears the job may open up at Michigan State if Duffy Daugh- cleared, Carrier had lost 5 yards, consciousness and the rest of the day. Fasi wanted to get in the Marines. He wanted to be first string in war, too. Only trouble was, he was color blind. His war with the Marine Corps was lively but the Marines lost.

Three times they threw him out, even after he got in by 1) memorizing color charts; 2) hiring a double to take the test; 3) switching test records when the medic wasn't looking. He got all the way to Camp Lejeune before his third unmaksing. A shavetail looked at him curiously. The Corps struck its colors. "Anybody wants to be a Marine that bad, should be.

Don't change your mind on the beach at Yokohama." Fasi fell in love with Hawaii while billeted there. He went home to Hartford briefly, but one sleet storm on Farmington Ave. and he borrowed $400 from his kid sister, got a ukulele and headed for the trade winds. At that time the government was auctioning de-activited military facilities, bases and buildings. They looked useless to most bidders.

Fasi didn't look at the buildings, he looked at the lumber, the bricks, the steel, the windows, the doors. He bought them at about the cost of the schoolbooks, w-arehoused them and was in on the building boom years before the construction materials could arrive in quantity from the mainland. The establishment was not enchanted. Fasi refused to hire off-duty policemen at $75 an hour to escort his house and building movers, rejected the mysterious "permits" he was required to buy. He got 150 traffic citations in six months.

Fasi decided to suit up and get into the game. Typically, he went for the ball. He got into politics, fought back, won. And he told Dr. Ogilby, "It's free enterprise, isn't it?" Hawaii had to agree, too.

Fasi got beat more often than Nixon. But he came out of each pileup grinning. As Wesleyan found out, you can't beat Fasi one-on-one. The sugar planters might not like him. The regular political establishments can't control him.

The underworld supposedly had a contract out on him. (He was guarded by shotguns night and day till he got bored with that.) Now they're afraid he might be governor. Or President. If I know Fasi, they should be glad to settle for anything sub-dictator. i jUSR! Sports today RADIO-TELEVISION NBA Basketball Baltimore at Atlanta.

The prevailing guess around campus was that Fasi didn't really sing in the choir, he got somebody to impersonate him for $12.50 a year while he pocketed the rest.

There was precedent for this in the incident of the used books. The school was getting ready to burn 150 of them. The war was about to start but nobody knew that but Fasi and Hirohito. Fazz offered to buy the books. "Take them," the prof.

said. Fasi shook his head, "I wanna pay." He finally paid $1.50 for the lot of them, or a penny apiece. He sold them for $2.50 each when non-war publishing ceased. The college president, an Episcopalian minister, called Fasi to his office. "Francis, do you think it's fair?" he asked.

"It's free enterprise, sir," defended Fasi, who was used to stalling attacks at the line of scrimmage. Dr. Remsen V. Ogilby chuckled. And bought a book.

Fasi played football the way he lived. I remember our "arch rival," as they used to say, was Wesleyan. They had a 225-pound halfback headed for the pros named, fittingly, Jim Carrier. Fazz, a soph substitute, got a call when the regular center broke his leg hanging onto Carrier. (Trinity's squad was about 15 men.) Wesleyan' didn't bother to block this 157-pound baby face.

They just aimed Carrier at him. When the dust to extend the Olympic hand to Red China would be sheer error. his rule over the International Olympic scene, is more sovereign than the whole kaboodle of countries in the United Nations. It will be disclosed later, when Brundage chooses to relate the full story on his decision to invite Red China to Munich that, unlike the unconditional welcome to the Red Chinese by their new United Nations friends, Brundage has spelled out at least one stipulation the Chinese will refuse to meet. Brundage, unlike the United Nations majority, is hot deserting old friends.

With his tentative invitation to China, he isn't kicking Taiwan out of the Olympics, which is perhaps his own way of rebuking the UN for jettisoning one country to accommodate another.
