Louisiana State Outduels Miami MIAMI, Fla. W-Louisiana State turned two fumbles and a blocked punt into three touchdowns in 10 minutes Saturday, and the Tigers i needed everyone of the breaks to beat Miami, 34-27, in a high-powered battle of offenses.

Bill Miller, coming in to replace Miami's injured quarterback, Bob Biletnikoff, led the Hurricanes on a furious last-ditch drive that fell short by a touchdown. Henry Russell picked up the blocked punt on the goal line and stepped into the end zone for the first of LSU's easy scores, and the Tigers had to go only 19 and 18 yards for two others after recovering fumbles by Russell Smith. i About Dodgers Belt wiped away that stig- ma with a vengance by scoring in every period. Wisconsin punished itself constantly with disastrous mistakes and Nebraska, sparked by a terback Fred Duda, fullback Frank Solich, and a powerful defense unit, never let the Badgers off the hook. Duda, a prairie transplant from Chicago, scampered 59 yards for one touchdown and passed 29 yards to Solich for another.

Pete Tatman and Charley i rs plunged one yard each for Nebraska ou owns and Ben Gregory exploded on a 13-yard scoring burst with 38 seconds left in the game for the Huskers' final six points. Badgers Harmless Larry Wachholtz, who set up Nebraska's fourth touchdown with a 55-yard punt return, also kicked a 24-yard field goal and three conversions. Nebraska also chalked up a two-point conversion on Duda's pass to end Free man White. Wisconsin never threatened se riously. The Badgers penetrated Nebraska territory to the 39 and 34 in the first half and managed only to nudge the ball past mid-field after the intermission.

Wisconsin threw mild scares into the Huskers when long passes from Chuck Burt skipped off the fingertips of Louie Jung and Dennis but this was the ex tent of. it. Nebraska wasted no time after recovering Tom Brigham's fumbled punt return attempt on the Badger 31 in the first quarter. Wisconsin put up staunch resist-ence inside its five, but the determined Huskers got on the board in four punches at the line. Badger Defense Sparkles On the first play after the re covery, Duda tirec a zs-yara pass to end Tony Jeter for a first down on the three.

Harry Wilson hit center for two yards, Solich lost a yard when he fumbled, but got it back on third down. Tatman nmmed over right guard for the touchdown from one yard out with 4:41 gone in the game. Wachholtz' conversion attempt from placement sailed wide to the right. The Badger defense did a re spectable job of containing the explosive Huskers during their next three series, but Devaney's gridders scored again at 4:55 in Turn to Page 4, Sports Statistics Detailed Statistics en Pate 4 First downi 10 15 Rushing yardage 5S 293 Passing yards II tl Passes 1J-31 7-17 Passes Intercepted by 1 3 Punts 12-37 t-3 Fumbles lost 3 1 Yards Finalized 12 tl Wisconsin Nebraska 0 I 437 II 14 Neb Tatman. 1.

The 49ers lead the NFL in 12 offensive and defensive categories. Most impressively, they lead in first downs, yards passing, total yards, touchdowns, field goals, and total points. Defensively, they lead the league by allowing opponents only 2.8 yards per rush. That kind of ball carrier discouragement may place another big burden on Packer quarter back Bart Starr, who has been of the Dodgers' Big- Three, succeeded Saturday where Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale failed and pitched Los Angeles to its first World Series victory, 4-0, after the two aces had lost the first two games to the Minnesota Twins.

The former American League lefthander, who never lost to the Twins in his days with Washington, carried his charm through nine brilliant innings with a five-hitter. Record Crowd A Dodger Stadium record crowd of 55,934 saw the Dodgers gang up on Camilo Pascual for two runs in the fourth on a sin gle by John Roseboro with the bases loaded. Lou Johnson's double, following Willie Davis' single, gave Los Angeles a third run in the fifth before Pascual faded for a futile pinch hitter. Jim Merritt, a Dodger club house boy in 1961, gave up the final run in the sixth on a single by Wes Parker and a double by Maury Wills. With a chance to square the Series today, Dodger a nager Walter Alston had announced he would call on Drysdale, loser of the first game, to face Jim Grant, the man who beat him in the opener Wednesday, 8-2.

Game time is 3. p.m. (CDT), with the usual NBC coverage (WIBA radio and WMTV television). Battey Injured The Twins lost more than the game when Earl Battey, their No. 1 catcher, ran into the railing near the Twins dugout while trying to catch a foul in the sev enth.

He was forced to leave the game. Los Angeles also had a casual ty. Second baseman Jim Lefebvre suffered a bruised right heel while scoring from second on Roseboro's hit in the fourth. X-rays proved negative, but Dick Tracewski took over. While Osteen was baffling the slugging Twins with four singles and one double, the supposedly weak-hitting Dodgers ripped into Pascual and Merritt for hits, five of them doubles, It was obvious at the start that Pascual, who missed seven weeks in August and September because of an operation on his right arm, was not sharp.

The Dodgers were hitting long fly balls, and the Cuban's curve ball was not as effective as usual. Fairly roubles Pascual skirted serious trouble in the first three innings but the Dodgers finally got to him in the fourth. Ron Fairly led off with a double past third base down the left field line and Johnson sacrificed him to third. Zoilo Versalles made a fine stop of Lefebvre's hard smash, holding Turn to Page 4, Sports Sports on TV Football: Buffalo vs. San Diego (AFL), noon, WMTV (Ch.

Campbell's electrifying run brought life to what had been a dull game. Northwestern's other score came in the opening mui utes of the second quarter when Dennis Coyne blocked an Oregon State punt and Bob Tubbs recovered on the one-yard line. Bob McKelvey plunged for the score and a short-lived 6-0 lead. On the ensuing kickoff, Bob Grim romped 89 yards for an Oregon State touchdown, and Mike Haggard's conversion made it 7-6.

"This is the happiest day of my life," beamed defensive coach George Kelly, recalling his days as assistant coach at Marquette when the Badgers "used to just maul us. Defensive Capt. Mike Kennedy, a linebacker, said the Wisconsin clash "was a big challenge for us, and I feel we came through." Wisconsin Coach Milt Bi'uhn, who suffered his first loss against Big Eight opposition, felt the entire Nebraska team did well. "They have a lot of depth, lots of strength," he said. "They did everything well.

They did everything better than we did. They're just stronger physically than we are." He labeled the "turning point" a fumble by Badger Tom Brig-ham which led to Nebraska's first touchdown with less than five minutes gone in the opening quarter. "You just can't give a team like this a break," Bruhn lamented. Bruhn said he couldn't single out any Badgers as outstanding performers in the game, and lie expressed disappointment with the play of his defensive ends. "They (Nebraska) killed us on the option play," he said.

Quarterback Fred Duda scored his 59-yard second quarter touch down on an option run, and Ne braska made good use of play throughout the game, with the quarterback either keeping the ball or pitching out to a trailing back, Bruhn said he feels Duda, fullback-halfback Frank Solich, and lanky end Freeman Whits "would be stars playing against any team."

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) Ne braska's injury-troubled defensive unit received most of the post-game praise from coaches Satur day after the undefeated Corn huskers had shackled Wisconsin, 37-0. "Defensively, we did a good1 job," said Nebraska Coach Bob Devaney.

Both are expected to be at full speed again, but even they may have trouble with the San Francisco line. Starr has responded with an aerial show that ranks him as the NFL's No. 2 passer with 34 completions in 52 attempts for 549 yards and three touchdowns.

He has extended his NFL record of consecutive passes thrown without an interception to 277. The league's No. 1 thrower is San Francisco's John Brodie, who in his ninth year as a pro finally seems to be living up to the promise he showed as a rookie. The former Stanford star credits much of his success this year to the tutoring of Y. A.

Tittle, the former 49er and New York Giants ace who is coaching the San Francisco quarterbacks this year. Brodie has amassed 773 yards and seven touchdowns on 48 completions in 76 throws. The 49ers' chief receiving threat Should Battey be unable to play, Manager Sam Mele of the Twins said Jerry Zimmerman would catch. The Twins' dressing room was sober, but there was no dejec tion. Most wanted to know how Battey was.

The big catcher lay in the training room with an ice pack cm his back. The team doctors would not let reporters talk to Battey at first, but about an hour after the game be was able to speak, although it took a visible effort. "It hurts for me to talk and 11 hurts to swallow," he said, "but I think I'll be all right." Battey was asked what happened on the play. "I thought I had two more steps. Then my foot hit the con crete strip they have just in front of the rail, and I fell into the fence." Both Zoilo Versalles and Camilo Pascual said the Twins had Maury Wills out in the third in- Twn to Page 4, Sports Battey Expected of hiiig (From Wire Services) LOS ANGELES His Los Angeles Dodger teammates call Claude Osteen "Gomer" after the television character, Gomer Pyle, but there was nothing com ical about the Tennessee born pitcher Saturday.

Certainly the Minnesota Twins saw nothing funny in the skinny, 5-11 southpaw who pitched like a giant in shutting out the Amer ican League 4-0, on five hits for the first Dodger vic tory in three games. The hard-hitting Twins, had been blanked only three times durins the regular season, but that could be because they didn't have to face Osteen. The 26-year-old native of Can- ey Springs, posted a 5-0 record against them in his three years as a member of the Wash ington Senators. I wouldn't call it any special magic," protested usteen wnen asked what sort of potion he used on the Twins. "I just feel I know how to pitch to them.

Ex cept for Zoilo Versalles, all the hits they got off me were on bad pitches. When I got the ball where I was supposed to, they didn't hit me." Osteen said his curve was the best he had all year, but his big Ditch, the one with which he got. jthe Twins to hit into a double Dlav on two occasions, was a fast ball that tails off like a slider. "I call it a tailing fast ball," he said. "It sinks and goes in to the batter." Osteen.

the low man of the Dodgers' Big Three, has a reputation as a hard luck pitcher. Despite a 2.79 earned run average this past season, he had a so-so 15-15 record. Vhat the won and lost record fails to show, however, is that his mates gave him only 29 runs in his 15 defeats. "I feel wealthy," he said. "I tgot four runs today.

Any time I get a run, I'm happy." In 1964, with the Senators, Osteen lost seven games by shut outs, four by scores of 1-0. Dick Tracewski, Dodger utility- man, nicknamed him Gomer because "he looks like that TV guy." "I don't object to It," said Os teen. "But I am nothing like Gomer. He's lucky." The two players injured in the game catcher Earl Battey of Comico MELE ALSTON the Twins and second baseman Jim Lefebvre of the Dodgers, are expected to play in the fourth game today. Battey hurt his neck when he ran into the railing near the Twins dugout trying to catch a foul ball.

Lefebvre injured his right heel scoring in the fourth inning. Manager Walter Alston of the Dodgers said if Lefebvre was unable to play, Dick Tracewski would be at second base and bat eighth in the Los Angeles batting order. GREEN BAY (UPI) The surprising San Francisco 49ers, who have established themselves as a team which title contenders must beat in the National Football League's Western division, challenge the unbeaten Green Bay Packers here today. A crowd of more than 50,000 at Lambeau Field will witness one of the division's two pivotal games this weekend. Detroit, with a 3-0 record matching the Packers, battles defending Western champion Baltimore, which is tied with the 49ers at 2-1.

League statistics indicate the 49ers, despite their blemished record, have looked belter so far than the Packers. The division's cellar team of last year opened by routing the Chicago Bears, 52-24. They showed they were for real a week later by defeating Pittsburgh. Last Sunday the 49ers spotted Baltimore a 17-0 lead, but roared back to lose by only 27-24 in a game Pyle of 49ers Northwestern Rally Topples Oregon State Challenge Packers Rosters for Television Viewers PAfKFns to-Caffey 49ERS 53-Dewdla FM.h.i,iUS 54 Harrison Hornung 4 Kramer 10 Mlra 34 Cerne 10 Claridge 44 Nitschkt 12 Brodle 58 Chappie 12 Bratkowskl 47 Grimm 17 Kilmer 40 Lakes 15-Starr 70 Marshall 43 Wilson 21 Jeter 71 Voss 22 Lewis 44 Wilcox 23 Pitts Wright 23 Swlnford 45 Siemintkl 24 wood 74 Jordan 24 McFarlind 47 Rock 25 Moore 75 Gregg 29 Messer 41 Mudd 24 Adderley 74 Skoronskl 30 Casey 70 Krueger 31 Taylor 77 Kostelnlk 32 74 Miller 34 Chandler 10 Long 34 Davis 75 Norton 35 Jacobs II Fleming 37 J.

UP) Halfback Woody Campbell rambled 76 yards early in the fourth quarter to set up the winning touchdown and Dean Dickie's 35-yard Wisconsin plays Northwestern next Saturday at Evanston. field goal with two minutes to play clinched a 15-7 victory for Northwestern over Oregon State Saturday in a non-conference football game. Until Campbell's romp to the four which set up Ron Rector's three-yard scoring dash, it appeared the hard-running Beavers, led by fullback Pete Piter's bruising ground attack, would score a 7-6 triumph. Shortly after Rector put the Wildcats ahead, 12-7, Oregon State recovered a fumbled punt on the Northwestern 21. On a lourth-and-two play, Fred Schweer was stopped one inch short of a first down near the Northwestern 11.

Late in the period, Tom Garret- which Packer scout Wally Cruice thinks they should have won. The Packers have defeated; Pittsburgh, 41-9; Baltimore, 20-17; and Chicago, 23-14, in that order, but Coach Vince Lombardi says he's still waiting for them to put together four quarters of good football in one game. The Packers' injury epidemic has subsided, so Lombardi figures today bet ter be the day. The game, starting at 1 p.m., will be carried in Madison by.
