The Lincoln Star from Lincoln, Nebraska • 11

October 3, 1970 Tim Lincoln Star 11 Warned Chge Dim Nbrcflskco Series DEVANEY AAARK AGAINST BIG TEN AS GOOD AS GOPHER MENTOR RECORD IS BAD VERSUS BIG EIGHT points out. "But I think they showed they can be a good football team in their game with Missouri." The Gophers led, 9-0, at halftime in that one. They didn't throw the ball against Ohio much because I think they were confident they could just run over them," Devaney added. While Minnesota shows an imbalance of 628 rushing yards 4o 185 passing in its first two games, the Huskers once again present a balanced attack, a trademark of Devaney's success at Nebraska. The Huskers have the Big Eight's leading par In quarterback Jerry Tagge, who is hitting at a .702 percentage of completions clip on 33 of 47 for 482 yards and four "touchdowns.

He has long-range threats to throw to in flanker Johnny Rodgers, who has caught nine for 210 yards and four TDs. Guy Ingles has snared eight for 129 yards and I-back Jeff Kinney six for 59 yards. I-back Joe Orduna is the primary running threat with 274 yards in 48 carries, but he gets help from Kinney and fullback Dan Schneiss, a blocker deluxe for his fellow backs. in their first two games, a 34 12 loss to Missouri and a 49-7 victory over Ohio University, with 489 rushing yards coming last week against Ohio. The rushing attack is built around left halfback Barry Mayer, a 215-pound senior, and fullback Ernie Cook, a 207-pound junior, along with scrambling quarterback Craig Curry, a junior whom Devaney tried to recruit to Nebraska.

Cook has rushed for 174 yards, Mayer for 161 and Curry for 65. But in Nebraska's Black Shirts, they'll be facing the Big Eight's defensive leader against rushing and the total defense leader, allowing only 92.3 yards per game rushing and 244.7 yards overall. The Gophers haven't done much passing with Curry trying only 36, hitting 13 with one interception. His favorite receivers have Cook with five receptions for 32 yards and left end Kevin Humm with three receptions for 52 yards. One reason for the wide variance between passing and rushing yardage in the Minnesota statistics could have been the Ohio game.

"I don't put much stock in their Ohio game," Devaney coming this season at -Southern Cal. His only non-league losses were to Air Force in 1963 and Southern Cal last season, both at Nebraska's Memorial Stadium. Perhaps a part of Devaney's success on the road comes from a philosophy that undoubtedly carries over to his squads. "Some coaches go on the road thinking everything Is against them," Devaney points out. "I've never felt that way.

The field Is the same size, the rules are the same and you still use 11 players." Warmath, meanwhile, has lost nine straight against Big Eight clubs with his last win coming against Nebraska in 1960 (before Devaney) by a 28-14 count and the Gophers continued on to the Rose Bowl that year. This may be one of the best Minnesota teams since that 1960 outfit and NU quarterback Jerry Tagge points out, "This could be the best Minnesota team a Nebraska team has had to play." Devaney rates them right behind Ohio State, the nation's No. 1-ranked team, in the Big Ten. The Gophers are averaging 314 yards on the ground By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Minneapolis Nebraska coach Bob Devaney's record against Big Ten foes is as good as Minnesota coach Murray Warmath's is bad against Big Eight opposition. Warmath would like (o see that change, beginning this afternoon when his Gophers take on sixth-rated Nebraska at 1:30 p.m.

here. Devaney, of course, would not. The Husker boss has racked up an 8-0 mark against Big Ten teams since coming to Nebraska in 1962 and five of those wins have come over Minnesota. And it has mattered not to Devaney whether those games have been played at home or on the road with four of the victories coming one. at Michigan and one at Wisconsin.

In non-conference games, Devaney, the winningest coach in the nation with a 105-284 mark (70-17-1 at Nebraska), has a 24-2-1 record at Nebraska and he has yet to lose a non-league game on the road.

Manager Bill Rigney of the Twins has the same feeling as Weaver. "The secret of winning is containing their hitters," said Ripey. "We know they're going to throw good pitching." But, if the pitching does falter, both teams are capable of turning on a slugfest.

Harmon Killebrew, 41 homers and 116 runs 'batted in, and Tony Oliva, .325, are Minnesota's big bats. Frank Robinson, Baltimore's only .300 hitter, and Boog Powell, 35 homers and 114 RBls, are the Oriole's threats. The Twins still want revenge from a three-game sweep by East Division champion Baltimore in 1969. Johnny Bench catching, Lee May at first, Bernie Carbo in left, Tommy Helms at second, Woody Woodward at short and Nolan pitching. Anderson said the only change in the lineup for Sunday will be Hal McRae in left against the left handed Walker.

The Pirates and Reds both held final workouts Friday afternoon at Three Rivers Stadium. 1 A crowd of between 30,000 and 35,000 is expected at Metropolitan Stadium for the 4 p.m. American League game. Fair to partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the middle-50s are forecast. "The team that makes the least number of mistakes has the best chance," said Baltimore manager Earl Weaver.

"The team which has the best pitching should win." On paper, the Orioles have the best pitching by a wide Left-hander Mike Cueller, 24-8, leads the Pittsburgh IB) The Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates, their managers exuding confidence, begin their best-of-five series today for the national league baseball championship. While in the American League, Baltimore's star-lined pitching staff made the Orioles favorites against revenge-minded Minnesota in the best-of-five championship series also opening today. Dock Ellis, 13-10, was tabbed as the starting pitcher for Pittsburgh. Gary Nolan, sidered the steadiest if not the. winningest Red hurler, was named to start for Cincinnati.

Nolan's record is 18-7. Both are righthanders. Oddsmakers gave the Reds a slight edge in the playoff. The weather forecast was for mostly cloudy skies and a chance of showers, with the temperatures in the low 60's. Manager Sparky Anderson of Cincinnati said "I think we're the best team in baseball, but they're the second best.

We won more games, didn't we?" The Reds took the West Division title with a 102-60 record, while the Bucs were 89-73 in winning the East. Manager Danny Murtaugh of the Pirates defended his charges, saying, 'I think we'ro as good as any club in basketball. "Records don't mean too much in a series like this," the 52-year-old skipper said. 'The Reds had an 8-4 edge over the Pirates in regular season play, and Pittsburgh won only one game at the new Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati. The first two games will be played in Three Rivers Stadium, which opened in July.

The third, and fourth and fifth games if necessary, will be in Cincinnati. Two southpaws are scheduled to start Sunday's game, Jim Merritt for the Reds and Luke Walker for the Pirates. Each is his team's winningest pitcher, Merritt with 20 victories and Walker with 15. The rotation calls for Tony Cloninger to go for the Reds and either Bob Veale or Bob Moose for the Pirates in Cincinnati Monday. Although Murtaugh didn't announce the starting lineup for the Pirates until late Friday, it was expected to be this Matty Alou In center, Dave Cash at second, Roberto Clemente in right, Willie Stargell in left, Al Oliver at first, Manny Sanguillen cathcing, Richie Hebner at third, Gene Alley at short-stop and Ellis pitching.

The Reds lineup is Pete Rose in right, Bobby Tolan in center, Tony Perez at third, Kickoff 1:30 p.m., Minnesota Memorial Stadium.
