He can move into No.

6 spot on the Husker rushing chart with his 124 yads against Oregon and needs only 107 today to bypass Dick Davis, who completed his career in 1968, and 140 yards to take over the fourth position ahead of Bob Smith, who finished in 1954. Kinney's one touchdown last week tied him with Kent McCloughan (1962-64) with 110 ponts on the scoring chart how it was at Minneapolis in 1968 when the Huskers spotted Minnesota a 14-0 lead and still trailed by 14-7 going into the fourth quarter. Stephenson picked off a Minnesota pass and gave the Huskers the ball at the Minnesota 17. Three plays later, Ernie Sigler passed to Jim McFarland, but with 10:60 remaining, the Huskers still had no better than a tie. Sherwin Jarmon gave the Huskers another scoring chance with a pass interception and a Gopher piling-on penalty helped the cause as Rogers booted a 18-yard field goal with only 1:32 left for a 17-14 win.

They haven't all been easy! Huskers Moving Up Three Nebraska gridders, who moved higher among the leaders in various statistical categories in the 34-7 win over Oregon, can climb even more notches this week. Past Husker Heroes In Minnesota Series and he needs only one more TD to take over the fourth position from Dennis Claridge, who scored 112 from 1961-63. Junior wingback Johnny Rodgers with 747 pass receiving yards needs only 16 more to supplant Dennis Richnafsky as the fourth leading pass receiver in NU history. Warmath 2-7 Against NU While Nebraska coach Bob Devaney is 6-0 against Minnesota, Gopher coach Murray Warmath is only 2-7 against the Huskers since taking over the Minnesota reins in 1954. His only victories came against Bill Glassford, 19-7, fn 1954 and against Bill Jennings, 25-14, in 1960.

Jennings' 1959 squad scored a 32-12 win at Minneapolis. And while Devaney is 9-0 against Big Ten foe, Warmath is only 2-12-1 against the Big Eight, his only wins being those two against the Huskers. His 1962 Minnesota team tied Missouri 0-0. One String Sure To Continue The Huskers must defeat Minnesota to keep their unbeaten string of 20 intact, but at least one other string is assured of continuing. The game, a sellout long ago, is the 18th straight sellout at Memorial Stadium and barring some kind of natural disaster, it will be the 18th straight crowd and the fifth straight crowd of better than 67,000.

Band To Salute Bands "Bandwagon USA" featuring the music of bands of many kinds will be the halftime presentation Saturday in Memorial Stadium by the Cornhusker Marching Band. From the strains of "Sentimental the 188 Cornhusker marching men will recreate the excitement of the circus band with "Billboard the Dixieland band with "Way Down Yonder in New the Sunday afternoon park band concert with "William Tell the military band with "National the rock band with "25, or 6 to the western band with "Ring of and the polka band with "Pennsylvania By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Seniors on this year's Nebraska football team might find it hard to believe that the Nebraska-Minnesota rivalry has been a hard-fought, intense one. This year's seniors Lave been a part of Husker clubs that have waltzed through, around and over Minnesota lis to the tune of 42-14 as sophomores and 35-10 as juniors. But it hasn't always been so easy and they wouldn't have to hunt for a member of the old-timers club to hear about some of the hair-raising experiences that NU fans had in watching Husker-Gopher clashes. They could check with former quarterback Dennis Claridge, who could tell them about the 65-yard touchdown pass to tight end Tony Jeter with 12:42 left in the game at Minneapolis that broke a 7-7 deadlock and gave the Huskers a 14-7 triumph before 61,000 fans, including 5,000 from Nebraska, at Minneapolis in 1963.

Or they could stop out at Lincoln Southeast to talk to former fullback Frank Soiich or drop over to a local savings and loan outfit and discuss the 19G4 game with Bob Hohn. In that one, also at Minneapolis, the Gophers' Billy Crockett ran a punt back 80 yards to give Minnesota a 21-12 lead with only 7:52 to play. On the third play after kickoff, NU quarterback Fred Duda wanted to pass, but found that his two primary receivers had been piled up by Gopher defenders. He then spotted Soiich streaking down the middle and laid a pass in his arms for a 45-yard touchdown. But the Huskers still trailed by 21-19.

The NU defense forced a Minnesota punt and the Huskers took over again at the Gopher 44, but moments later a fourth down faced them. Duda solved that by hitting Freeman White with a 14-yard pass. A 15-yarder to Hohn got the Huskers to the 18. On the next play, Duda's pass appeared to be intercepted by a Gopher defender, but it slipped through his hands and bounced off his helmet. Husker Kent McCloughan made a desperation lunge for it and came up with it.

He plowed through two would-be tacklers at the one-yard line to score the winning points in a 26-21 comeback victory. Or Joe Orduna could tell them about .1967 in Lincoln when the two teams battled to a scoreless first half before quarterback Frank Patrick, hitting on four of five passes, took the Huskers from their own six-yard line to a first down the Minnesota 25. He then handed the ball to Orduna, who went 25 yards to score the only points in a 7-0 victory.

Partridge Turns Bad Snap Gopher Kicker Gains Eligibility Minneapolis, Minn. UP) Minnesota Gopher linebacker and placekicker Lou Clare has been declared scholastically eligible and will see action when the Gophers meet Nebraska Saturday. Clare had missed some practice while attending summer school to make up some classes and while working this fall to regain his eligibility. Clare is rated the best place kicker Murray Warmath has coached at Minnesota. He will do the kicking off, after touchdown and ting for Russ Gibson.

After pinch-batter Ken Henderson walked, reliever Mike Corkins replaced started Steve Arlin, 9-18. Willie Mays walked and Henderson and Mays staged a double steal before Tito Fuen-tes' ground out scored Henderson, capping the rally. Reliever Jerry Johnson earned him his 17th save. John Jeter's single and Nate Colbert's double gave the Padres a 1-0 lead in the first. Larry Stahl's single plus errors by Marichal and Fuentes allowed the Padres to score an unearned run in the second.

The Giants bounced back with three unearned runs in the bottom of the second. Willie McCovey's walk, Kingman's single, Don Mason's error, Speicr's bases-loaded walk and Marichal's run-scoring double did the damage. San Diego scored three runs after Enzo Hernandez led off with a walk, Mason singled and Jeter was safe when Marichal made an error on his sacrifice bunt, loading the bases. Hernandez and Mason scored on Speier's error and Jeter scored on Lee's double play grounder, giving the Padres the lead again. Extra Innings At Los Angeles Los Angeles Solo home runs in the eighth and ninth innings by Atlanta's Henry Aaron and Mike Lum put the Atlanta-Los Angeles game into extra innings, tied at 2-2.

The Dodgers scored two runs in the fourth inning and held a 2-0 advantage going into the eighth inning. The Dodgers trail the San Francisco Giants in the National League Western Division race. nto 8-6 Win For Southeast Spartans Trounce Hastings Hastings Lincoln East struck for four first-half touchdowns within a six-minute span and went on to crush Hastings, 57-7, here Friday night. The Spartans, trailing 7-0, capitalized on four successive Hastings' turnovers to build a 28-7 advantage and added flanker Jack Ball's 83-yard scoring run just before the half for 35-7 cushion. Three fumbles and a pass interception set up East's first four touchdown drives, which consumed only 11 plays in 5:41.

The lopsided score was surprising in view of Hastings' 8-7 season opening upset win over Lincoln High last Friday. The Spartans, however, needed a quarter to establish their dominance. Linebacker Dick Neal ignited the surge, recovering a fumble on the Hastings' 37-yard line. Halfback Bryce Carlson cracked for 27 yards on the next play and then tied the game with 1:59 left in the first quarter with a five-yard run. Reg Cast's interception set up East's next touchdown which took only five plays to move 29 yards.

Ball snagged a 12-yard pass from quarterback Scott Copple for the score. A second fumble recovery by defensive end Phil Mitchell gave East another touchdown two minutes and four plays later. Split end Gene Smith caught two touchdown passes from Copple, the first covering 21 yards the second quarter and second covering 13 yards early in the third period. East coach Lee Zentic then went to his bench for the rest of the game. A 25-yard touchdown by substitute quarterback Chris Siefkes and a 57-yard gallop bJ third-string sophomore halfback Pat Lehigh highlighted the second-half of-, fensive fireworks.

The with three straight victories, shar th league lead with Quad-Cities. By STEVE GILLISPIE Star Sports Writer The Nebraska Wesleyan football lost one while Doane gained one for Nebraska Intercollegiate Athletic Conference games Saturday. Plainsman coach Harold Chaffee says starting right guard Steve Foree probably has been lost for the season. But Tiger coach Ray Best says veteran quarterback Leonard King will start against Concordia. Foree injured his knee in practice during the week and Tom Christie is expected to start in his place as NWU hosts Midland.

King has recovered from a knee inju-y after missing Doane's 7-7 opener tie against Yankton. "King's return will give the team a big boost," Tiger mentor Best said. "We have to do a good job for Minnesota field goals Saturday. Saints Activale Back New Orleans UP) The New Orleans Saints announced Friday that running back Tony Baker has been activated and offensive guard Bob Hudspeth waived to keep the team at its 40-player limit. against Concordia, we feel this game is the key to our season.

"We are not only playing the team who broke our 38-game winning streak but also the defending champion," he continued. "Our players realize the importance of this game and we feel they're ready." Concordia coach John Seevers is cautious in his evaluation of Doane. "By tying Yankton Doane showed they have a tough defense since the nation's leading rusher (NAIA Division HI) plays for them," Seevers pointed out. He was referring to Les Goodman who had 113 yards against the Tigers. "Last year Yankton scored 24 points while holding us to three with Goodman," Seevers said.

"And then Doane last week not only holds Yankton and Goodman down, but also scores a touchdown. We were surprised with Doane's defense since they lost so many starters. "But we like to think we also have a good defense and we're pleased with our offense, so it should be a good game." Besides Foree out Chaffee says he may make three other changes. "We'll probably start Dan Howard at tight end, Bob Gill at halfback and Jeff Mun-nis at flanker," Chaffee said. "They've ben looking good in practice but we'll still play a lot of boys like we did last week." Chafee also said he'd start Dave McGrane at quarterback but his backup, Ross Stephenson will see a lot of action.

Other state college games Saturday include Dana at Yankton, Drake freshmen at Fair-bury Junior College, Sterling, Kan. Hastings, Northwest Missouri at UNO, Graceland at Peru, Chadron at Dickinson, N.D. and Kearney at Eastern Montana.
