He also said that heavily favored Bold Lad was the least of his worries among the other three-year-old colts. "Bold Lad hadn't proved himself and I just didn't think lie would get there." Bill Hartack, who was going for his fifth Kentucky Derby victory, added mystery to the moment: -Bold Lad had a reason not to run. 1 think I know what it is.

"He wasn't running right and he wasn't reacting very good. He tried real hard to run but he just wasn't going any place." Shoemaker said this was ju.si about the luckiest lie's ever been in a big race.

"We got our break when Flag Kaiser didn't get out of the gate very good. "This meant we didn't have to catch him like we thought we would.

Cyclones' Bats Rip Nebraska By HAL BROWN A boxej who doesn't carry knockout punch doesn't win many toe4o-toe i matches and Nebraska's base- team learned this painfully Saturday afternoon at NU Diamond. Nebraska hitters were overmatched in a slugfest with likes of Iowa State's Dick Dlsen and Al Tubbs as the Cyclones ripped out a 14-5 decision over the Huskers. Nebraska starter 3ob Stickels was removed Tom the game in the second i the Cyclones had enough runs--six--to i the Iowa State wasted little time teeing off on Stickels' so-so ball, scoring five times in the second a a solo -un in the first inning. The loss dropped Nebraska into third place with a 6-4 and boosted Iowa State into second at 7-4, trailing Missouri by me gnme.

Palmer toured the par 15636-72 Desert Inn Country Club course in 35-36-71, but it was young Dick Sikes who provided the sensation of a hot windy afternoon when he shot a 30 on the back nine to equal a tournament record and move into contention.

Art Wall Jr. set the record of 30 in 1964. The 25-year-old Sikes, who is sponsored by Art Model, the owner the Cleveland Browns a team, snapped out of a 38 on the first nine holes and proceeded to knock out six birdies on the final nine for a 68. It put Sikes four strokes behind Palmer as the cast of stars go into the final round Sunday. Sandwiched i were Chi Chi Rodriguez and Doug Sanders, each of whom had to be satisfied with par 72 and a score of 209.

Palmer actually gained one stroke over Rodriguez a Sanders, who trailed by only two strokes when play began Saturday. Bill Casper also had a 72 and rested alone at 211, i 1 Nicklaus, improving with each round after a disastrous initial 74 Thursday, came in with a 67 for 212. I just played better, that's all there is to' it." said Nicklaus, summing up his round. Nicklaus has won the tournament the past two years and can still make a run for a i victory Sunday, although trailing by six strokes. Sam Snead, a 52-year-old veteran, slipped back with a 74 and was tied at 213 with Kel Nagle of Australia.

Comedian George Knudson, Chuck Courtney. Rod Funseth and Miller Barber, each with a 72, and Bruce Crampton, another Australian, with a 76. were tied at 215. By CURT MOSHER The sun worshippers who baked their skulls in Memorial Stadium Saturday and walked out two hours later wondering whether the Nebraska football team had uncovered deptli or discovered weaknesses had an expert mumbling with them. This same question a the leader, himself, pondering the situation a wee bit.

Cornhuskers their final big scrimmage prior to the annual wind-up game next Saturday and the Red team, which had on its side both the No. 1 offensive team and the top defensive team, posted a narrow 36-27 victory over a VV i squad. But the par! of the a which had coach Bob De- vaney asking the big question was the early a t. When the top teams were excused for the day, about midway in the practice, the Reds held even a narrower lead. 15-14.

"This probably demonstrated that we have more depth than we thought we had." the coach said. Then he added: "Or our first two units are not as good as we thought." The i which i-realed this bewilderment was the offensive team, qiiarierbacked by i Sigler, a sophomore-to-be from Dallas, Tex. "Sigler handled the team well and he threw 11." Devaney praised after contest. And his battery mate, Dennis Richnafskv from Clairton. drew a little mention from coach, too.
