However, a By BILL McGRANE Minneapolis Tribune Staff Writer Nebraska mounted a furious fourth-quarter passing attack Saturday in the Memorial Stadium gale to snatch a 26-21 victory in Minnesota's 1964 football debut.

To do it, the Big Eight and Orange Rowl champions had to come from behind after the Gophers had surged ahead 21-12 with just 7:32 remaining. It was a shocking reversal. MOST OF THE 50,237 assembled and, likely, the national television audience felt an upset victory was assured when Gopher halfback Billy (NEXT: Minnesota at California: Nebraska at Intra State.)

The issue was settled in the line, and for a while it was a stubborn conflict in which neither side yielded.

Its' hard rush smothered Wisconsin's passing game and its immovable posture on the ground deprived Wisconsin altogether of power in its running plays. Offensively it took a little longer, but the Badgers' defensive line also wilted under the force of the Irish charge. BOUNCES I II i RIGHT TO McClOUGHAN Crockett sped 80 yards to score on a punt return for the 21-12 count. As it developed, Crockett's nimble dash did no more than set the stage for Nebraska's remarkable finish. And the finish was courtesy of Fred Duda, a chunky junior quarterback who simply thrived on pressure.

Duda's composure too often followed hard on the heels of Gopher misfortune. All four of Nebraska's touchdown marches started in Minnesota territory at the 17, .32, 45 and 44-yard lines. That "fatal fourth" follow- Wildcats Past Indiana 14-13 BLOOMINGTON. Ind. L.A.

The passing aces traded behind in the second quarter By TOM BRIERE Minneapolis Tribune Staff Writer LOS ANGELES, Calif. Los Angeles' Bill Kelso, a pitching thoroughbred Saturday night, threw a 2-0, four-hit shutout at the Twins. The Twins haven't scored against Angel pitching since the sixth inning in the first game of a doubleheader at the Met July 19, embracing 29 innings. Dean Chance Ditched a 4-0 ing Crockett's touchdown: Mike Reid's kickoff into the teeth of a 30-mile-an-hour wind carried only to the Cornhusker 40-yard line and at that point Minnesota was penalized 15 yards for apparently attempting to catch the wind-blown boot interference with the offensive team. THE PENALTY put the ball on the Gopher 45 meaning that the kickoff, ultimately, was good for only five yards.

They also, more or less, went to the heart of the matter.

Eddie is Eddie Meador, a stumpy defensive back and Ram captain who used to be one of the league's best in the hairy business of playing the corner in pro football. He has now been installed at free safety, which position, his coach LOS ANGELES, Calif. The Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings, unable to restrain themselves in advance of today's collision between the NFL's fanciest offense and its toughest defense, traded poetic couplets at long range Saturday. The poetry, perpetuated by some rhyming wizards in the rival front offices, was uniformly atrocious and hopefully no omen for events of this afternoon. modestly declared, "has never been played any better in the NFL." Meador will be viewed on some occasions today as a blitzing safetyback, giving the Ram defense a potential of eight pass rushers on certain plays a gang scene which is going to make the Los Angeles defense look like Calhoun Beach on a hot day.

Primarily, though the Rams will try to button up the Viking offense (averaging better than 400 yards which will be vulnerable to the rush if not supported by suitable ground power or do you try to minimize the Rams' rush by hammering on the ground? The man who must provide the answer, Norm Van Brocklin, obviously isn't talking. Whatever the interplay of strategy, the game has aroused Los Angeles' once-jaded football audience to the point where some are expected in the coliseum (Ch. 4, 2:05 p.m.). The Rams hold a victory front assault by Lamar Lundy (268 pounds), Rosey Grfer (296), Merlin Olsen (276 and Deacon Jones (261) the latter possibly the most dreaded pass rusher in football today. Which leaves the Viking tacticians with this dilemma: With the team's running depth sapped by last week's injuries to Tommy Mason and Ted Dean, do you hinge your attack on a full-throttle passing offensive by Fran Tarkenton team which yielded 34 points to the Bears last week can hardly ignore it.

Not with Dick Bass and Ben Wilson running and Jimmy Phillips heading the receiver corps. Offensively, the Vikings will put it up to Tarkenton, Bill Brown and rookie Bill McWatters to start with. And it may end up that way. Tommy Mason's status remains highly dubious, although there is 1 nothing wrong with his legs. If emergencies arise, -he will be summoned.

he's forgotten, there is the strong chance that Roman Gabriel will be sufficiently recovered from his knee injury to step in. The Los Angeles offense has frightened no one In the NFL this year but a i if 'wiBifflJi'iiiWBiiiiffliri'i'.
