BLACK SHIHTS HOLD KANSAS TO MINUS YAHDS RUSHING CONQUER CARDINALS, 20-0 Redskins do it again Sunyise, sunset shooting houis or local nimiods Awesome Cornhuskers stun 55-0 as Nebraska wins 25th Kansas in row aged while losing three of four The victory boosted Washington's lead hi the NFC East to two games over the Cowboys, whose coach, Tom Landry, muttered: "When you give them away, you can't win them. What went wrong? Our kicking, passing running-nobody was Dallas fumbled the ball away three times and had three passes intercepted. "For the first time this year," Saints Coach J. D. Roberts said, "our special teams started forcing the errors and started making the big plays for us." Manning passed 29 yards to Tony Baker for New Orleans' first touchdown, then scram-pered 13 and two yards for two more, countering Roger Stau-bach's two scoring passes for the Cowboys.

Norm Bulaich rumbled for 108 yards, including 3-1 for a touchdown, and caught a 27-yard pass for another score in the Colts' romp. "Our running game was going and we mixed in a few passes," quarterback Earl Morrall understated. He also fired two scoring strikes to Ray Perkins as Baltimore broke open the game against the Giants with 21 points in the second quarter. Bog Davis, the Jets' third-string quarterback making his first start since 1969, passed for a pair of touchdowns against the winless Bills and Emerson Boozer churned up 116 yards, including a two-yard touchdown, as New York scored more points 'than it had man Nebraska lead to 41-0 on a 13-yard dash With 5:58 left. Shenandoah, Iowa's Van Brownson came in to quarterback in the final period with just seconds dry of 10:00 "left in the game.

Brownson added to the parade of TDs with a plunge from the one. During one drive, Brownson directed the Huskers 85 yards, but the drive fizzled out at KU-8. The last Husker score came with just over two minutes remaining, Pat Fischer, a sophomore cornerback and son of NU coaching staff member Clet Fischer, swiped a pass and dashed 14 yards Into the end zone. The 55 points scored by Nebraska enroute to the Huskers 25th consecutive win, were next to the highest ever against a Big 8 foe. Just last season Nebraska beat Oklahoma State, 6541, on the turf here.

In the past 43 years of NU football, Husker teams have slnglfe game outputs of 65-58-58-56, and now 55. So great was the play of Nebraska's famed Black Shirts Saturday that Kansas ended up with a minus 42 yards rushing. Also, statistic-wise, Kinney and Dixon each rushed for a net of 104 yards, Olds had 74, Rodgers 47, and among the 11 Huskers getting rushing yardage was Dave Goeller a first half. By intermission, the Jayhawks had rushed for a net of only seven yards. In the passing department, Kansas had fivo yards.

Kinney, Olds and Dixon had combined to rush for 110 yards, and Tagge had added 82 air yards. But, KU's punter Harris was having a field day by intermission with five boots averaging out at 49 yards each. One sailed 57 yards. The second half continued as a nightmare for Coach Don Fambrough, his Jayhawks and you can even toss in the same five officials they were still around! And the Huskers were not trying to pour it on. Coach Bob Devaney played e.

season's high of 62 Cornhuskers. "In fact," stated Bob afterwards," We even went four deep at some position." Less than three minutes had slipped off the clock in the third quarter when Nebraska struck again, this time on the game's longest run from scrimmage. From its own 20, Nebraska moved to the 34 after Tagge had hit Cox with an jeight-yard gainer and had sent Kinney for six. Kinney took a Tagge pitchout at the N-34, started to sweep end, but cut back and raced 66 yards into the end zone. It was the longest ramble of his Husker career for the senior from McCook.

Before gome into the final An 18-yard end around run by Jerry List, coupled with four runs by Gary Dixon, put the Huskers at the one and Dixon then crashed in. Sanger made it 14-0 with 2:40 left. Husker Daryl White, a sophomore from New Jersey, recovered a fumbled punt which KU's Gary Adams couldn't handle and at the 7:06 mark in the second quarter Nebraska took over at the KU-29. With Kinney pounding the middle, Bill Olds racing around end, and Tagge hitting List for an eight-yard gain, Nebraska moved to the one and Tagge dived over for the TD. It was 21-0 after Sanger's boot with 4:19 remaining in the first half.

Time was i running down to near the 2:00 mark when John Rogers returned a John Harris punt for 22 yards, putting Nebraska at the Nebraska 47. A pass try to Woody Cox failed, but Lincoln's Maury Damkroger rushed for seven yards. Tagge hit Frosty Anderson for a gain to' the KU-37, setting up an aerial score and a 28-0 halftime gap. From the 37, Tagge sent Rodgers racing for the corner at the goal line and sidelines. With defender Lee Hawkins putting pressure on him every inch of the way, Rodgers took the throw in the air near the two, and came down in the end zone, in-bounds by inches.

In fact, it seemed to the record turnout of fans (68,311) that the vaunted Cornhuskers even impressed game officials to the extent they, were out of position so often trying to keep tab of the ball, that they committed boo-boos which had the Homecoming crowd riled, to say the least of pushing Coach Bob Devaney's blood pressure beyond the boiling point! If there was a "bottom 20" rating for football officials, the five-man team working the Nebraska-Kansas game would soar into the No. 1 spot due to the lous'est performance of the weekend.

i And, it was the game's initial kickoff that the first of several quick whistles gave fans an indication of what was to blossom forth on the part of the officials. Jayhawk Chuck Schmidt took Rich Sanger's Running.at full- speed Schmidt had the ball jarred loose at the KU-31, and it was recovered by Nebraska. Officials declared the ball had been blown dead and KU kept possession. But, after Kansas gained just a yard on two plays, QB David Jaynes had a pass partially blocked- and Huske Willie Harper intercepted at the 31. A clipping penalty damaged the Huskers chances, and the series of downs ended at the KU-28 when Sanger's field goal try was no good.

The first Nebraska score was set up as Bob Terrio swiped one of Sophomore QB Jaynes's aerials, giving the Huskers 4 control 'at the KU-32. From "here, QB Jerry Tagge i. Kansas one and Jeff Kinney, who had picked up 30 yards curing me anve, crasnea over. Sanger's" PAT was good and it was 7-0 with 7:50 left in the first quarter.

"I couldn't hear the count so I went with the snap of the ball," said Bo Scott of the Browns, who went four yards with it into the end zone for his third touchdown of the game with 39 seconds remaining to stun the Bengals. "They beat the living hell out of us," was all shell-shocked Patriots, Coach Jolia Mazur could say after Bob Griese fired four touchdown passes, two apiece to Paul Warfield and Howard Twilley, while the Dolphins held New England to just 117 total yards' and smothered quarterback Jim Plunkett six times.

"I had two great days," said Blass, "and they happened to be in, the World Series." Blass spent most of the afternoon pacing nervously around the mound between pitches, digging at the dirt and otherwise occupying himself.

"The pacing?" said Blass. "Oh that's just the preview of a bad stomach.

FIRST PIRATES' TITLE IN 11 YEARS By BRUCE LOWITT The old, men got together for another one in Washington while one kid did some masterminding in New Orleans.

"The old geezers did it again," Coach George Allen grinned after his undefeated Washington Redskins won their fifth in a row Sunday, a convincing 20-0 whipping of the St. Louis Cardinals. And quarterback Archie Manning, New Orleans, No. 1 draft choice, took advantage of six Dallas turnovers to run for two touchdowns and pass for a third as the Saints upset the Cowboys 24-14. In Sunday's other National Football LeaguB games, Baltimore walloped the New York Giants 31-7, the New York Jets toppled Buffalo 28-17, Cleveland nosed out Cincinnati 27-24, Miami crushed New England 41-3, San Francisco beat Chicago 13-0, Detroit dumped Houston 31-7, Los Angeles defeated Atlanta 24-16, Minnesota turned back Green Bay 24-13, Oakland ripped Philadelphia 34-10 and Denver edged San Diego 20-16.

The Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Chiefs in Kansas City in Monday night's nationally televised (ABC, 9 p.m., EDT) game. "We keep hearing that the 'old men' are going to fold or that the balloon will bust," Washington quarterback Billy Kilmer said. 'We have something to prove every week." Kilmer and Charley Harra-way each ran for a touchdown and Curt Knight booted two field goals for the 'Skins, but the star of the day was linebacker Jack Pardee, who intercepted three passes to thwart the Cardinals. "I guess they feel sorry for an old man," he laughed. shutout by journeyman Nellie Briles and a brilliant relief job by 21-yfear-old rookie Bruce Ki-son.

"Anytime you go into a Series like this, the emphasis has to be on, the pitching," said Murtaugh. "They had four 20-game winners, but we had enough pitching to win our division and the pennant, so I thought we'd have enough now." And while the Pirate pitchers, shelled for 16 runs and 24 hits in the first two games of the Series, suddenly shut off the Oriole offense, Clemente stepped into the hitting spotlight. A veteran of 17 major league seasons, the slugging right fielder tore the Orioles apart, collecting 12 hits, one short of the Series record. He was the obvious choice as the Series' most valuable player. "This means so much to me," said Clemente.

"I'm 37. I might never get to play in another World Series." Clemente did it all in mis Series. His flawless fielding and a rifle arm kept the Baltimore baserunners wary throughout. And his big bat marked the eventual down! all of the defending champions. It was Clemente's booming fourth-inning home run that put Pittsburgh in front Sunday.

"The bowl officials are not in a positioffof wooing any teams right how," said Devaney, whose Cornhuskers started the rout of the Jayhawks with one-yard touchdown runs by Jeff Kinney and Gary Dixon. "I've got to worry about a fine Oklahoma State team. "They must have a pretty good offensive club if they can score 37 points against that tough Missouri defense.

We've always had trouble with Oklahoma State, when we play down there." i- KANSAS CITY (AP) -postseason football bowl The boys are buzzing around Nebraska and Oklahoma like files hovering over sugar candy but Coaches Bob Devaney and Chuck Fairbanks were interested today only in "our next game." Top-ranked Nebraska, which humiliated Kansas 55-0 last weekend, goes to Oklahoma State, a 37-16 victor over Missouri Second-ranked Oklahoma, fresh from its 45-17 flogging of sixth-rated Colorado, visits 1 the Kansas State Wildcats, who were embar-rased by Iowa State 24-0. Two of last week's losers get d-Yi-. Taggfe hit 10 of 18 passes for 108 yards, while Brownson connected on 2 of 7 for 19. Rodgers had five punt runbacks for a total of 76 yards. For KU, Jaynes tossed 21 passes and hit on 7 for 98 yards; Terrio, Harper, and Fischer, as mentioned, interecepted one each.

Defensively, it must be said that Rich Glover, 234-pound middle guard from- Jersey City, N. picked up where he left off at Missouri by leading the vicious Nebraska defense.

Since Oklahoma Sooners blasted Colorado Saturday, 45-17, indicatiions continue to point to a Big 8 showdown between Nebraska and the Sooners at Norman on Nov. 25. If all goes well between now and then, the winner at Norman might well emerge as the nation's No. 1 team.

Devaney was dissatisf'ed with two things about the Kansas game in which Jerry Tagge added to the Jayhawks' "woes by scoring on a one-yard sneak "and throwing a 37-yard TD pass to Johnny Rodgers. He didn't think his team scored enough, and he wasn't sure about the officiating.

Don Fambrough, the Kansas coach, said of Nebraska: 'They don't have any weaknesses. That's why they're No. 1. It has to be one of the best teams I've ever seen. But I'll say this, we certainly helped their cause." Fairbanks and Colorado Coach Eddie Crowder were both stunned by the developments at Norman.

"This is a little bit beyonJ what I had expected," Fairbanks said, obviously referring to the 45 points and school record of 670 yards in total offense, including 172 yards passing. The Sooners, who had thrown only 20 times in their four previous victories, pitched five times in this one. Jack Mildren, the mastermind of the wishbone brilliancy, connected on three, a 54-yard bomb to Jon Harrison and a 68-yarder to Joe Wylie. Crowder, aware that Oklahoma's sensational Greg Pruitt had insulted the Buffs with 190 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries, said It was the "worst I've ever felt. They have as much talent as any team I've ever seen, I think.

"What's really making that attack go is the driver Mr. Mildren. He is doing a superb job with the option game. And for a guy who has been injured, that Wylie is great. I hope we don't play any more injured backs like him." It was Oklahoma's first Big Eight test.

Colorado is 5-1 and 2-1. Missouri's Mike Fink was first the star and then the goat of the game with the Cowboys, 1-0 and 3-1-1. He returned the second half kickoff 100 yards for the tie-breaking touchdown and a minute later fumbled a kickoff which was recovered by State and quickly turned into six points. Iowa State, 4-1 and 1-1, needed no more than Reggie Shoemake's 44-yard first quarter field goal to beat Kansas State, 2-4 and 0-3. Dean Carlson hit on-18 of 29 passes for 235 yards and threw two touchdown strikes to Ike Harris of 64 and 28 yards.

"It might be' a long year," said Vince Gibson, the Purple Pride coach, after State's first shutout in 43 games. "A lot of people are getting off the band By HAL BOCK Associated Press Sports Writer BALTIMORE (AP) In the end it was a maligned pitching staff working without its top winner that turned the tables for the Pittsburgh Pirates and made them baseball's world champions for 1971. Steve Blass, his hair soaked with champagne, stood on top of a table in the bedlam of the Pirate dressing room Sunday and shouted, "We've got a no-name pitching staff but we're the champions." Blass had just pitched the Pirates to the title, beating Baltimore 2-1 on a tension-packed four-hitter that captivated a nation-wide television viewing audience which included President Richard Nixon. The President called the Pirate dressing room after the game to congratulate Manager Danny Murtaugh and his team on their first title in 11 years. "He complimented me on looking so calm on the bench," said Murtaugh, "and he said that although the day belonged to Blass and Roberto Clemente, it took a real team effort to win the Series.

I thanked, him for taking the time to call, "it was a tremendous tribute to baseball and a great thrill for me." Nixon also phoned the Oriole dressing room to talk to Baltimore Manager Earl Weaver, who often had lamented over not hearing from the President, despite the past successes of his team. It was Murtaugh' who manipulated the seemingly thin Pirate pitching staff to the title. Deprived of his biggest winner, Dock Ellis, who worked only 2 1-3 innings in the Series, Murtaugh won, it anyway with two sensational jobs by Blass, a BELL'S NAME ENGRAVED FREE on Scissors, Shears or Cutlery when Sharpened at 514 EUa Beatrice T.V.
