Hut the facts of the cab are that they definitely didn't tell the true story of Nebraska's 33 to 6 opening Kunie victory over a determined, scrappy South Dakota eleven Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. Over 27,000 fans, most of them Cornhusker partisans, sat stunned after the opcnmtj half as the white-shirted Nebraskuns trudged to their dressing room ciaimiiw: only a slim 13 to fl advantage over the Coyotes.

BF.ATFN three times in their last four starts, the Yanks rolled over and played dead before Kinder's brilliant performance. Ellie never allowed more than one hit .1 inning, struck out five and walked only four. Phil Rizzuto's double to start the eighth was the only extra base blow, but he was left stranded. Ed Lopat, first of 23 enemy lefties to go the route in the Iiosox park all season, was nicked for two runs in the second and Ted Williams' 425-foot homer, his 42nd, In the third.

Hal Newhouser collected his 18th win of the season as the Detroit Tigers turned back Cleveland, 8-5. Newhouser spotted the Indians five runs in the first inning on two walks and five hits. THINGS were no nearer a solution in the National league after some spirited battles Saturday night. The Cardinals squeezed out a 3-2 decision over the Chicago Cubs to preserve their half game margin over Brooklyn." Gerald Staler blanked the Cubs until the final- Inning when they rallied for two runs. With one out and two men on base Ted Wilks relieved Staler and stopped the Bruins, getting Herm Rrloh on a fly and striking out Roy Smaller.

Stan Musial poled two doubles to produce two Card runs. BIG DON Newcombe, working with only two days rest, pitched the Dodgers to a brilliant 8-1 triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies. Newcombe, presented with an automobile before the game, allowed only four hits and fanned nine In posting his 16th victory of te year. Four home runs, three of llott. accounted for five of the Boston Praves' mns as ther defeated the New York Giant.

6 to 4. Pitcher Warren Shii accounted for the run Elllo't didn't drive In with a four-ply wallop In the sixth. The Pittsburgh Pirates beat back the Cincinnati Reds, 6-5. but the old Croslev Field linx worked aeain on Ralph Kiner and he failed to make anv nrog-ress toward a new National league home run record. Kiner, who has hit only three homers at Cincinnati in four seasons, barely missed in the third with a triple that hit high on the wall in centerfield.

(Ma lor league box scores on Page 2-B). Underrated Georgia Terli Surprises Vanderbilt, 12-7 ATLANTA Ga. (P). Buster Humphreys, a sub fullback last year, was a hip hurling hero Saturday and a fast and smart Georgia Tech football team upset Vanderbilt, 12-7. Before the game Vanderbilt was ranked second highest in the Southeastern conference and well up in the nation.

Tech was considered weak, too tiny and almost without a mid-section In the line. .4 i MIZZOU BEGINS PATDIRT DRIVF, Halfback Dick Braznell. No. 43, of Missouri, carried the brunt of the ball-toting duty in the first quarter against Ohio State. Braznell picked up nine yards on this thrust thru the right side of the line.

Behind by a point with three seconds to go, Missouri still had a chance to win, but Gloriosos' place kick from the 31-yard line fell short, taking the Tiger hopes with it. The "Show-Me" boys, held to 66 yards on the ground and 25 thru the air a year ago when Ohio won, 21 to 7, rolled thru the big Buckeye forward wall for 250 yards rushing and took to the air for 257 more Saturday.

$6.30 and Cyclones Use 'Y in Tying Illini, 20-20 CHAMPAIGN. 111. (VP). Iowa State and its new formation, guided by Passer Bill Weeks, unharnessed three long scoring drives to hold favored Illinois to a 20-20 stalemate in the II-lini's football opener Saturday. After Iowa State, a 28-point underdog, gained a 7-0 halftime lead, Illinois popped to life with a pair of touchdowns in the first five minutes of the third period to the delight of 31,106 home boosters.

The Cyclones then rolled 76 yards for a payoff and trailed only 14-13 at the end of the third as Joe Brubaker's conversion attempt was wide. ILLINOIS again flared for a 20-13 lead at the outset of the final after Dick Raklovits 43-yard runback of a kickoff ignited a 46-yard scoring push in seven plays. But Iowa State bounced back on an 80-yard surge featuring Weeks' 38- and 15-yard tosses to Jim Doran. Weeks eventually rammed over from one foot and Brubaker's perfect placement deadlocked the score, 20-20. Iowa State kept switching from the to the puzzling which has the quarterback and fullLack facing each other about five feet apart with a halfback behind them pointing to the line.

"Our downfield blocking Is poor." The husky Scarlet coach said. however, that his team learned great deal in beating bouth Dakota 33-6. "But we're going to have to work like the devil this week. We're going to have to concentrate!" he -said and slammed his fist' into his palm. "We seem to have left our concentration in Curtis." GLASSFORD declined to single out a Husker performer for indi vidual honors.

The University of Colorado served-notice on the Big Seven football fraternity Saturday by nicking highly favored Kansas, 13-12, before a record crowd of 22,500, The home club so completely dominated the opening periods of the game that Kansas was 13 points behind and had played 22 minutes before it was able to move the ball past midficld.

Rough running by Forrest Griffith and Bud French, plus dead-shot passing by Jerry Bogue. put the Kansans in charge for most of the second half, but their closing bid for victory was killed by a brilliant pass interception by Malcolm Miller on the Colorado 22 when the game had but two minutes to run. COLORADO was stopped on the Kansas seven In the first two minutes of the ball game but bounced back a few minutes later to score on a 12-play drive of 71 yards. Hard running by Harry Nar-clslan, Dane Graves and Don Hagln, plus 27-yard pass from Miller to Hagin, set up this score, with llagln plunging the final six inches. The second Colorado score came midway in the second period when Narcisinn hit Charles Mosher in the end zone with a beautiful 15-yard pass.

Rodolfo Flores then added the point that later proved to be the deciding factor in the ball game. The Kansans drove 88 yards late in the first half on 15 plays with French carrying it over on a 30-yard rush over left tackle. Kansas again showed its power late in the third quarter after French had returned a Colorado punt 20 yards to the Kansas 27. Wade Stimson. John.

Duke's Blue Devils, restrained only by the presence of scouts in the stand, climbed all over an 1949 University of-Rich-mond team, winning 67 to 0 Saturday before 10.000 onlookers. Offered no alternative, Richmond could only stick it out grimly for 60 minutes of slaugh-ter. To Ohio Stale COLUMBUS, O. OP). Ohio State launched its 1949 grid season Saturday by defeating Missouri's alert and powerful Tigers, 35 to 34, in as wild and woolly nn opener as- the big Buckeye Stadium ever has witnessed: The two teams treated 66,510 fans, biggest opening crowd in Ohio State Missouri history, to a ten-touchdown parade, and a misplaced kick for an extr point by Missouri's John Glorio-sos, the Tigers' outstanding player, provided the difference.

Sooners Rip BC Eagles In 46-0 Win BOSTON. (P). Oklahoma's Sugar Bowl champions launched their 1949 grid campaign by walloping Boston college, 46-0, before a crowd of 36,241 at Braves field. The visitors, operating out of the spectacular split-T behind a line that seemed to explode every time the ball was snapped, played as if they meant to atone for the licking their coach, Bud Wilkinson, took in the Chicago All Star game. If they missed the graduated stars who led them to' the Big Seven title last year and a postseason triumph over North Car- Lolina, they didn't show it.

DARRELL a 170 pound jack-of-all-trades, ran the club like an expert, teaming with George Thomas, Leon Heath and Lindell Pearson to form a back-field that will score bushels of points this season. Thomas scored three of the seven Oklahoma touchdowns, one of them on a 95 yard return of the opening kickoff. He gathered in the boot at his five and went all the way behind perfect blocking, without a soul touching him. In the second period, the 177-pound speedster snatched a 22-yard pass from Pearson, thrown after a lateral from Royal, and stepped across the goal line to cap a 72-yard drive. Boston College, virtually helpless on the ground altho its line outweighed Oklahoma 17 pounds to the man, took to the air for most of its offensive effort.

Ed Songin completed 22 of 46 Boston passes for 154 yards but couldn't fire a payoff pitch. Boston's deepest penetration was to the Oklahoma 28 in the second period. Oklahoma piled up 358 net yards on the ground, against a net of 35 yards for Boston college. It was the first shutout suffered by a Denny Myers-coached Boston team since 1941. scored only once last year, on an 82-yard punt return against Kansas State.

THE GAME had its laughs. When Quarterback Fran Nagle sent Mueller thru( the line with two yards to go' on, a fpurth down, a press box wag re-, marked, "We'll have to tell that to Attorne; General Jim Anderson That's gambling!" i The colorful Nebraska pep section presented an Innovation. Red-sweatered Knbs and white-garbed Tassels were seated so they presented a' block-letter to the west stands. The card section shared some of the team's first-game ragged-ness but it's attempts to show a Nebraska hunter bagging a South Dakota Coyote were well applauded. Don Lents' Scarlet band spelled out "Bill" In tribute to the Hnsker coach during its halftime capers.

The oft-beaten Kansas State Wildcats hit the victory trail with a powerful running attack Saturday night in pummeling Fort Hays State, 55 to 0.

COYOTE Coach "Harry Gam-age, an Illinois star of the Red Grange era, said he had prepared his club to play defensive ball. "We worked all week on defense," he said.
