They rolled up two touchdowns, failed to allow Nebraska a first down, and appeared on their way to an easy victory over just another ball club. But Ralph Damkroger, packing 211 pounds, standing six feet and substituting at right end, and Del Wieband, a run-to-the-mine quarterback, caught fire midway in the third period. Wiegand, standing on Minnesota's 34, tossed successive passes of 14, 12, and eight yards to Damkrsger for a touchdown.

Ten minutes later, in the fourth period, Wiegand tossed another 14-yard pass to Damkroger who stepped across the goal for another counter. Bob Costello failed to kick the first point I but negotiated the second. Alter the second Nebraska toucn- down, Minnesota, sparked by Everet Faunce at left half, roared back to score twice and sew up the game. The Minnesotans had an easy time in the first two periods. They push ed Nebraska all over the field, and within four minutes Bill Bye romped through tackle standing up for a touchdown.

Early in the second period Harry Elliott passed 17 yards to Stanley Thi'ele for another counter. Bill Bailey kicked both extra points. Then Nebraska had its innings, and pulled within one point of the visitors. After Wiegand and Damkroger put on their show, Faunce went charging down the field for runs of 45 and 15 yards. He passed 14 yards and skidded to within one omers there looking- at sweeping curve and a called third strike and again Shea had 'fought, them off.

But it was even rougher and -the tension was even higher in the Edwards started off with a single to right and. little Vic Lom bard! went in to run for Oarl FurUlo sacrificed him to second and the Dodger fans were. shaking- the ball park with their roar as they remembered that incredible ninth-inning -comeback of Friday and. the way their beloved Bums had come off the floor. But Shea wasn't having any.

Retires Jorgensen He "sent Spider Jorgensen a high ball which; the skinny third baseman lifted to Henrich in short right holding Lombardf on second. And then came the Cookie. It was a swinging strike, that first pitch. Just the way it had been one pitch before Lavagetto broke up Serins' no-hit dream. But' after that Shea rewrote the script He worked the count to three and two and sent In that scorching slide against which Cookie swung mightily and hit nothing but air.

Tex. (AP) The Texas Longhorns overwhelmed the Tar Heels of North Carolina, 34 to 0 here Saturday, making a strong bid for national college football leadership before 47,000 at Memorial stadium. Texas used Its famed pass ing game, with Bobby Layne- doing much of the throwing, as well as a strong running game, to score In ev ery period but the third.

CAP) Van derbilt heaved a CI yard touchdown pass, in the. first period and scored again in the final period to defeat Alabama, 14 to 7, on Dudley field Saturday In a southeastern conference contest before a capacity audience of 22,500. Alabama scored late in the game after both Commodore touchdowns. It was Vanderbilfs second win of the season and Alabama's, second loss. But It wasn't too easy for the' hefty, 25-year-old righthander who gave the Nev York Yankees the fifth game of the classic and put them out in front once again, three fames to two.

3hea breezed for full innings. nd then sudden-y the battling 3rooklyns, who pulled one mt of the fire vith two out in he ninth, were threatening to do it once more. Through the 6th and the 7th they Vere on him and thn in thi Bth in A4 ning Bruce Ed- DlMfl wards. The first man up, blasted out a single. Two went down and pinch-runner Vic Lombard! had moved to second on a sacrifice.

Up came Cookie Lavagetto, the little man who almost wasn't there this season but who delivered the double for Brooklyn's victory In Friday's game. Hero Friday, Bum Saturday Friday a hero today a bum. The mighty Cokie went down on strikes and Shea was in. Thus Spec, the confident chucker with the sweeping curve and the sizzling slider, again squared, his account with the Yankees. In the spring of 1946 the Yankees paid his appendectomy bill and Saturday he gave them 34,379 disconsolate Dodger fans.

It was a Dodger -crowd, roaring and raucous, which saw him outlast four Dodger tossers and pin the defeat on Bex Barney, the Omaha Express. Barney, the Dodger starter and wildest pitcher in series history with nine walks in four and two-thirds Innings, gave up the two runs which sent the battling Bums to defeat. After him came Joe Batten, Hank Behrman and Hugh Casey. The Yanks could get no hits from Hat-; ten and only one off Behrman and one from the portly Hugh. Shea in Control Shea, who didn't let a Dodger reach first base until the fourth inning, had to share the honors with PiMaggio.

Joltin' Joepttftm-booed and b-1 littled, came through with a fifth inning home run which was the off. It came with one away and it went into the upper deck of the left field stands. It spelled Barneys end. xur as mug as Ihe was around, -r carucy gave uicui a show. He walked the first man up, Snuffy Stirnweiss, and there were 4 two on as Tommy IWpnrlrh hit a iiru I Die to right.

Thus with two strike outs and a weak roller, Rex had shut the door. Barney Walks Two The Yanks were right back in the third thanks to Barney's wildness when, with one away, Tommy Hen-rich walked on four pitches and Johnny Lindell on five. But again DiMaggio failed, hitting Into a double play. Barney's wildness was bound to tell.

It did In the fourth when with two away, he walked both Aaron Robinson and Phil Rizzuto. Shea helped to win his own ball game 'by lashing a single to left which sent Robinson roaring over the plate with the game's first score. Barney shut them off then until Di Maggio, bitter over the boos which had greeted his previous batting attempts, rifled his homer Into the stands. Boms Get Rtui The Dodgers got back one of those runs in the sixth and really put the pressure on the young man from Naugautuck, Conn. Al Gionfriddo, batting for Hatten, walked on four pitches to start the rally.

The crowd centered its roar on Shea. Unrattled, he sent Eddie Stanky down on strikes. But he walked Pee-Wee Reese which pushed Gionfriddo to second. Jackie A I nuDuuua doucxieu Shea then for a single to center, scoring the fleet Gionfriddo. The Yankee threatened again tae eevenm.

s. Henrich opened With a nlA center, and after Jkir Robinson Lindell fanned, DiMaggio: drew 1 walk from Behrman. That was the 10th walk; given by the Brook pitchers, typing the series record held by five teams and tied Friday by Floyd' Bevens as he lost his one-hitter. But with two men on, McQuinn fanned and Johnson grounded out Shea In Trouble The methodical Shea was in trouble in the seventh. Edwards walked on four pitches and went to third, after two were down, when Arky Vaughan delivered a' pinch hit duoble.

Pete Reiser batted them for Stanky and was walked intentionally to fill the bases.
