The statistics won't show it because of a fourth quarter assault against the Nebraska reserves, but the Cornhusker defense was almost unbelieveable in a 28-6 de-feathering of the' Gamecocks before a record Memorial Stadium crowd of 47,800. The unbeaten Huskers of coach Bob Devaney, ranked No.

8 in the nation, shut off South Carolina with one first down in the first half, final play of the period when Dan Reeves completed a 60-yard pass to Jule Smith. The Gamecocks netted three yards rushing for the day. And while the defense, which got tremendous help from sophomore ends Langston Coleman and Mike Grace, was thwarting South Carolina at every turn, the Nebraska offense was unloading its long range bombs in a demoralizing fashion. Sophomore Bob Churchich, playing his first 5v "if You can see all 22 players in this picture of the first Husker touchdown, a 30-yard pass from Bob Churchich to Kent McCloughan McCloughan sprints under the ball to make the catch on the six (right), then scores his 6th TP of the year.

Whitey Ford, the loser in the opener, was scheduled to pitch, but Berra said, "Ford's heel is bothering him. He warmed up today and it hurt him." Joe Pepitone, whose left thigh may become more famous than Betty Grable's at least to baseball fans-became involved with a few more close pitches in Saturday's third World Series game.

"I'm going to stand in the runway," he told his outfielder, "to get a head start t5 the clubhouse when you hit it." Bouton, who allowed only that unearned run in the fifth, said he had walked back into the dugout after snuffing out a Cardinal threat in the ninth an said: i "C'moif boys I don't want to go out there again."

Snake-like Frank Solich flashed for one of those from 40 yards away and sophomore Harry. Wilson ran seven yards for the other as Nebraska scored in its 27th straight game.

This tied a record which dates back to 1904. Nebraska bobbled away a couple of other scoring chances, one of them a sure thing. Churchich ran into the end zone in the- scoreless third quarter, but the ball squirted loose as he crossed the goal and South Carolina recovered a touchback. The wierd part of this Band Day bombshell was that Reeves set all kinds of records. He established a one-game school passing record of 240 yards, erasing John- ny Grambling's record of 227 set in 1953.

And he also set a career record, boosting his total yards to 2,147. But most of it came when everybody was kings x. The Gamecocks didn't score until there was only 2:55 left in the game. Smith crack ing from the two after Reeves and Ronnie Lamb had connected on three straight passes to get the ball within range. tuai ouuiu Carolina drive, coming after a Husker fumble at the South Carolina 34, covered 66 yards in 11 plays.

Reeves completed seven of nine passes in the march. Reeves did suffer one black mark. He had his first pass intercepted, the Huskers plucking two of them away from the Gamecocks. Incidentally, those two were the first the Huskers have intercepted this Both came in the fourth quarter with Love stealing one and Bill Haug lifting another. But it was that first half when the game was played for keeps and the Huskers kept it.

Nebraska scored on its third posssssion, getting in gear on the Gamecock 31 when Coleman separated Reeves' and the ball and Richard Czap fell on it. After one running play, Churchich hit McCloughan who slipped in behind the defender at the goal to score his sixth touchdown of the season.

Mickey Mantle went to second on the play, then scored the tie-breaking run as Tom Tresb singled. The Yankees went on. for an 8-3 victory. When Pepitone came to bat for the first time in the second inning of Saturday's game, Simmons' first pitch was high and inside and Pepitone dropped to the ground. The next pitch also was inside, but this time the, left-handed batter back.

'We gambled a little," NU coach Bob Devaney noted in recapping the Husker win. But we knew we had to stop (Dan) Reeves from throwing the long ones against us." The Gamecocks had gamed 360 yards by passing in three previous games and came up with 240 Saturday, but didn't complete many of the long ones of which Devaney spoke and many of the pass ing yards came late in the game when NU reserves took over. This performance by the NU reserves late in the quarter dimmed an otherwise happy afternoon for the Husk er coach.

"I am very discouraged by the play of some of our re serves," Devaney said. "We dipped into our reserves and they looked very poor in those last few minutes." But the NU boss, the win-ningest coach in the nation, was happy with the play of his front-liners. "We got a good pass rush from our line, and our linebackers! Joe McNulty and Mike Kennedy, plugged real New York (UPI)-A grin- ning Mickey Mantle, witn the game winning home run ball in one hand and the other arm around winning pitcher Jim Bouton, said, "I'd have had horns if I didn't hit it." Still quivering from the thrill of breaking a 1-1 tie with a tape-measure home run on relief pitcher Barney SchuhV first delivery in the ninth Inning, the blond Yankee switch bitter explained he was "looking for a knuckle ball and got it but it obviously wasn't one of his good ones." Mantle's error in the fifth inning on Tim McCarver's single opened the gates for the Cardinals' only run and made Mickey a potential goat if the Yankees had gone down in defeat. The homer was his 16th in World Series competition, making him the all-time leader in that category. "I guess that adds something to it but it would have been a big thrill, anyway," he said.
