Thefts, Mud, Defense Contribute to 23-3 Reds Win By HAL BROWN Bob Devaney promised Nebraska football fans it wouldn't be a runaway. For the first 55 minutes it wasn't, then the Reds scored two late touchdowns for a 23-3 victory in the annual NU intrasquad game. But the 13,000 Husker fans who showed up Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium will have to wait four months to find out whether it was a better-than-expected defense, a muddy field, or an offense that still needs some work that kept points off the scoreboard. The muddy field factor will in Statistics Whites Reds First downs 12 16 Yards rushing -36 105 Yards passing 125 189 Passes 13-36-6 12-32-1 Punts 6-39 5-40 Return yardage 148 115 Yards penalized 10 83 Fumbles lost 0 0 lllllllinilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll all likelihood be gone by the time the Huskers open the 1970 season Sept. 12 against Wake Forest on a Memorial Stadium field that will be covered with an artificial surface.

Fans can hope that with the natural turf going out, the pass interceptions that stopped most offensive marches also will be gone. And they can hope that the defense will be as good as it looked throughout most of the a sunny afternoon that by game's end had improved footing considerably on the chopped-up stadium turf. The most impressive offensive showing of the afternoon came in the fourth quarter when quarterback Jerry Tagge, who had had a disappointing afternoon until then, directed a 97-yard march that sewed up the victory for the Red team, putting theft The Reds took over after stopping a pass interference-aided White march at their own three-yard line, holding the Whites back on four straight plays from inside the 10. Tagge, whose passes to the other team while quarterback, ing the Whites in the first half, helped stake the Reds to a 9-0 halftime lead, used a Whites offside and a five-yard smash by Jeff Kinney to push the ball out to the 15 to get working room.

"I only used the whip on him a few times," said jockey Ronald Houghton. "But that was because he likes to loaf but he didn't today he won easily." Houghton piloted the second favorite of the Ak-Sar-Ben crowd of 19,561 to a one-and-a-quarter length victory in the $15,0000 Ambassadors' Handicap over second place Fast Gas and show horse Vagabond Flyer. The triumph was worth $8,250 to L. P. B.

Stable, of Denver andpari-mutuel backers received $7.00, $3.80 and $3.60. Fast Gas followers got $6.40 and $4.40, while Vagabond Flyer fans received $5.00. "He started picking up his cars to look around and see who was near him," Houghton said, "so I put his mind on the race as we were going down the stretch." The colt led by three lengths going into the stretch and with oughton's encouragement, won the six-furlong test for three-year-olds, running a 1:12.3 clocking over the muddy turf. The el i favorite Special Dunce was never in the contest and i finished last. 'Although Houghton said he let Phil Joy "run away" most of the race, he said he waited until he entered the stretch and "then I reached back and asked him for.

that something extra and he gave it. Houghton's triumph in the Ambassadors' Handicap shattered an attempt by jockey D. W. Whited to win his fourth consecutive race. Whited, Ak--Sar-Ben's second leading rider, won in the fifth aboard Seemsaway, in the sixth on Dark Star King and in the seventh with Candi's Prince.

But Whited earned his fourth triumph of the afternoon leading Marty's Gem to the wire in the afternoon's final race as he became the first rider to pilot four hourses to wins in Ak-Sar-Ben's young season. While the daily double combined longshots Jed mark ($16.80) and Sasa Song ($28.40) to return a mammoth $410.60, the Exacta produced the Omaha track's smallest payoff of the season as Marty's Gem and Willie Batton returned $66.00. The Exacta the ninth -saw jockey Fred Ecoffey break a stirrup as Miss Carry Back tossed the Pine Ridge, S.D. rider off just as the horses broke from the gate. Ecoffey apparently uninjured by the spill, walked away.

Leading jockey L. Durousseau, seeking his third straight Ak-Sar-Ben riding crown, finished 11th on his first horse Revel's Reward in the first race and then requested his remaining mounts be canceled. "It might have been the soda pop I drank "Durousseau said. My left side hurt me, so I requested that I not ride again today." Results. 3D coach Bob Devaney Indicated that The sacrifice brought in hard-throwing Robisch who walked Jorgensen on five pitches But the big Kansas lefty set- tied down to strike out Bruce Cramer before yielding the opposite field double to Griego.

Griego had stolen two bases earlier in the game to bring his conference leading total to 14. But the running and hitting ot Griego didn't overshadow tne stingy relief effort by Cramer and the home run hitting of Tom Tidball and Baker. While this duo was handling the Huskers' half of the extra-inning. The hit came off Dave Robisch, Kansas' fourth pitcher. Robisch, who stands 6-9 and led all Big Eigth basketball scorers, pitched only a third of an inning and was tagged with his second loss of the season without a win.

Robisch had relieved Bob Wolf after Joe Baker had reached first on an error by Jayhawk third baseman Keith Lieppman. Neil Garvey sacrificed Baker to second and Placke was used as a pinch runner. Nebraska football coach Bob Devaney shook his head as he looked over the statistics for Saturday's spring game. "We had a very poor passing percentage," he said, citing 13-36 by the Whites and 12-32 by the Reds. "These guys are better throwers than that." He admitted that the slippery condition of the field in the first half had something to do with it.

"That may not have been the only reason, but it certainly contributed to it," he said. Planned installation of artificial turf this summer should eliminate some of the problems the Cornhusker offense experienced Saturday in trying to negotiate on a slick, muddy surface. Bids are now being accepted for the turf and Devaney is hopeful that he'll be able to recommend which bids be accepted to the Board of Regents prior to their May 18 meeting. "We just about have to get started on this project by June 1 if we hope to have the work completed by the Shrine Game," he said. The annual North-South all-star game is set for Memorial Stadium Aug.

22. "We also hope to get bids on a new track the next month," he added. "We hope to be able to put Jt between the Fie Id ho use and Coliseum, but! are awaiting some measurements to determine if we have enough room without cutting into the baseball outfield," he said.

-WM' MMCTtn. mm i tnnm as nis team won, lh-h. the Nebraska offensive outbreak, Cramer was eliminating Kansas batters in relief of Bob Munson and George Hinman. The game was the last home contest for the Huskers. An estimated crowd of 1,350 was in attendance at the NU diamond for a lengthy 3:25 game.

An argument involving both managers and both umpires took 15 minutes to resolve in the fifth inning. With runners tot second and third and Nebraska's Adrian Fiala at the plate, NU coach Tony Sharpe charged from the bench accusing Kansas pitcher Bob Kaufman of balking. Such a call would have scored Griego from third and tied the game. But, after the lengthy argument and pushing session by both umpires and managers, a decision was made in Kansas' favor. According to the home plate umpire, the Kansas pitcher had signaled for an intentional pass to Fiala instead of making an illegal movement on the mound.

A Big Eight rule allows the defensive team that option if they don't wish to throw the four balls. Fiala was eventually awarded first base, but the Nebraska rally and scoring chances were baited as Pat Elgert lined out to center. The win finally boosted the Huskers over the .500 mark in conference action. They stand 7 6 on the season while second-place Kansas owns an 8-6 mark. Nebraska travels to Oklahoma State next weekend before visiting league-leading Iowa State the following week.
