Oct. 19(57 Gophers Question Two Vita 9 SID HARTMAN IV Oregon State Stomps on Iowa 38-18 pointing also to a missed Nebraska field goal attempt early in the first quarter that was downed inside the Gopher six-inch line. "We got beat by seven points and Nebraska played about that much better," continued Warmath. "They were able to play more consistently and sustained their offense better than we did. "We had several receivers open that we didn't hit and some of our receivers dropped balls they should have caught." Quarterback Ray Stephens, who played more than three quarters, said, "I felt more at home than last week.

I now feel I can do the job." DEAN CHANCE, who will face the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park today in a game that could win the pennant for the Twins, has allowed the Red Sox only two runs in 18 innings this season in Boston. The 26-year-old right-hander has 1 a 4-1 record this year against the Red Sox. His only loss was a 3-2 decision to Boston at Metropolitan Stadium. "I shut them out on my 26th birthday in Fenway," said Chance Saturday night after he learned that Detroit had lost the second game of a doubleheader to California, thus assuring the Twins of a tie for first place if they beat Boston today. "I've also defeated Jim Lonborg twice.

(Lonborg has a 21-9 record and will face Minnesota today.) "I pitched my five-inning perfect game against Lonborg at the Met and beat him 9-2 in Boston. "I've had good luch against Carl Yas-trzemski this year, too. I don't recall him driving in a run against me. (Yaz is leading the league in hitting, runs batted in and is great individual effort on the run." The questionable punt came in the first quarter, when Nebraska's Dana Stephenson kicked the ball from the Minnesota 40. The ball rolled dead and the officials put it on the one yard line.

"Actually the ball went into the end zone and came back," said assistant coach Bob Gongola, who was in the press box and in a good position to see the play. "The point of the ball was on the goal line and the ball should have been brought out to the 20. Instead, we got it on the one and we seemed to have 99 yards facing us the rest of the half. We were with our backs to the goal after that." Minnesota coach Murray Warmath and Sakal agreed that the Gophers were much improved over last Saturday, when they beat Utah 13-12. "We played 100 per cent better than last week," said Sakal.

"If had played as we did last week, Nebraska would have blown us out of the stadium. "We are an up-and-coming club. Once we get some momentum, we are going to be hard to beat." Warmath didn't want to take anything away from Nebraska, but he did 'feel that Nebraska got some important breaks. "I've never seen so many breaks in the kicking bench. "We won't know who it was until we see the films." It could have been either end Del Jessen or even linebacker Noel Jenke, who was on the end of the line on that defense.

The Cornhuskers then managed to march to the Gopher 25, where halfback Joe Orduna went 25 yards for the winning score with 4:45 left to play in the third quarter. "It was a trap play," said Gopher defensive tackle McKinley Boston. piled the play up but he ran over me." Capt. Tom Sakal claimed that he had a shot at Orduna and so did defensive halfback Mike Condo. "He came off guard, went to the inside, got a block and cut back, picked up a couple of blocks and went in for the score," said Sakal.

Orduna. who had a big day in Nebraska's victory over Washington two weeks ago, said he just saw daylight and ran. "I think two Gophers had shots at me, but they tried to block me down rather than tackle me and I was able to slide off them," he said. Nebraska coach Bob De-vaney added his explanation of the touchdown run. "We noticed in the first half that the weak-side Minnesota tackle was quite conscious about outside plays," said Devaney.

"So we decided to run Orduna inside. There was some Florida Rolls to SEG Win Over Miss. State tied with Harmon Killebrew for the home run lead with 44.) "The wind has been blowing out here the last few days and this makes the ball carry. This has to be the biggest game I've ever pitched. I hope I can meet the challenge." VetOska Report: Jim Finks and Bud Grant of the Vikings, both graduates of the Canadian Football League, contend that there are a number of Canadian players who would be stars in the NFL if given the opportunity.

The Chicago Bears' Bob Wetoska, former De La Salle athlete and now one of the outstanding offensive guards in the NFL, is of-fered as evidence. Wetoska, now in his seventh year with the Bears, originally was drafted by the Wash JACKSON, Miss. Pi Fullback Graham McKeel shredded Mississippi State's defenses for two touchdowns Saturday night to power Florida to a 24-7 Southeastern Conference victory. State's defenders kept Florida bottled up through the first half, when State put together its best pass and run of the game on an 81 -yard scoring march, but the Gators dominated the last two periods on the running of Mc Keel and passing of sopho-1 more quarterback Jackie; Eckdihl. 3S Phil Hagcn, who Jhrew the winning pass in the Utah gfime hut played only briefly yesterday, had nothing buUpraise for Stephens.

"We thought we could stop their running game but not this well," said Devaney. In "the injury department, end Bob Stein suffered a mild concussion, lie was dizzy after the game and couldn't remember when he got hit. Guard Tom Fink hurt his ankle and high.

Trailing 7-3 at intermission, Florida scored th? first two times it got the "hall in the third period. McKeel got both touchdowns on thrusts into the Stale line.

The Beavers, winners of three in a row this year and nine straight carrying over from last season, pulverized Iowa's inept defenders with a three pronged attack by quarterback Steve Preece, fullback Bill Enyart and wingback Bill Main. WITH THOSE three consistently making good yardage, Oregon State scored touchdowns three of the first four times it had the ball and led 31-0 at halftime. Meanwhile, Oregon State kept the Hawkeyes and their vaunted quarterback, Ed Po dolak, bottled up most of the day. The Hawkeyes didn't even threaten in the first half, and their last two touchdowns came after Oregon State had built a 38-6 lead. Oregon State outgained Iowa 321 yards to 13 on the ground in the first half and finished with a 496-393 advantage in total yardage.

Ermer Story: After the 1962 season, Cal Ermer received a letter from the New York Yankee organization discharging him as manager of the Richmond, farm team in the International League.

"I've had some low periods in my baseball career. I was convinced I'd never get a chance to manage in the major leagues," said the Twin manager. "When I lost the Richmond job, I started to wonder. "I perked up a little when I was hired as a coach at Baltimore in 1963. John Mc-Hale (now assistant to the baseball commissioner) recommended me to Billy Hitchcock, then the Baltimore manager.

"I wondered again when I was fired as a coach after one year. I had a three-year contract with the Orioles. So I worked as a scout in 1964. "I was managing San Juan By SID HARTMAN Minneapolis Tribune Staff Writer LINCOLN, Neb. In a sad dressing room following a 7-0 loss to Nebraska Saturday, members of the University of Minnesota football team talked about an offside penalty after they had recovered a Nebraska fumble cn the Corn-huskers' winning touchdown drive and a questionable call on a long punt that kept the Gophers in the hole most of the first half.

The Cornhuskers had the ball second-and-eight on their own 32 when quarterback Frank Patrick completed a seven-yard pass to end Dennis Richnafsky, who fumbled the ball and Minnesota recovered. So, instead of the Gophers having the ball in good scoring position, Nebraska got the ball back. "The referee told us the end man was offside," said end coach Butch Nash, who was on the phones to the BIG TEN STANDINGS (iXonconference games) Purdue 2 Pts.
