You don't throw behind a batter if not trying to hit With two out in the Boston first, St. Louis er Nelson Briles reared back and fired a fast ball toward Yaztrzemski, the American triple crown winner who drove in four runs with a pair of homers to the series 1-1 In Boston Thursday. Yaz was unable to get out of the way and the ball him on the calf of the left leg, resulting in a big Williams rushed up to plate umpire Frank Umont. told Frank if the way he wanted the game played, we could Williams said.

Then he called manager out from the St. Louis dugout. said that all he had been reading was that Jim Lonborg threw at Lou Brock on the first pitch in the second game. Then Umont said he stand for any Williams said that the Wg difference between pitch to Brock and the one that hit Yastrzemski was the way it was thrown.

BOMB-berger KS NU Hsw Scored Time left By HAL BROWN Manhattan, Kan. Nebraska, playing Santa Claus, let Kansas State lick the candy for 58 minutes here Saturday, then turned Scrooge and snatched it away from the Wildcats just as they were getting to the tasty portion. A 31-yard field-goal by sophomore Bill Bomberger took the taste of victory out of the K-State mouths with 1:11 left in the game to give the Huskers a 16-14 victory as they opened defense of the Big Eight Championship they have owned the past four seasons.

winning kick was his second field goal of the season in six tries and came against a 12 miles-per-hour wind after an earlier 40-yard attempt with the wind had missed near the end of the first half. The Columbus sophomore also had seen an extra point attempt fail in the third quarter when it was deflected by Bill Kennedy after the Huskers had drawn to within 14-13. The winning drive was typical of nearly a dozen such efforts by Bob Devaney-coached teams at Nebraska, starting deep in Husker territory and consuming six minutes and 19 seconds before the decisive kick. And also typical of such drives iu the past were some key third and fourth down plays. The winning drive started at the NU 15 after the Husker Black Shirts, who had allowed K-State only 15 yards rushing and 104 passing, had pushed the Wildcats back from the Nebraska 37 to the KSU 37 in four plays with Ivan Zimmer and Jerry Patton doing most of the damage.

The first crisis of the drive that started with left in the game came on a third and seven from the NU 18.

Crisis No. 2 came only three plays later with a third and four at the NU 39.

Patrick gained seven on the option play. Another crisis developed at the Kansas State 40 where a third and 10 loomed as trouble. Patrick found a partial solution with a six-yard pass to Davis, but this still left four yards to go and a fourth down coming up. The NU 1 i a 1-caller faded to pass, looking for his favorite receiver, Dennis Richnafsky, who set a school single game record with 13 receptions. As Richnafsky dived for the ball, Mike Duncan was on the Husker back and officials ruled pass interference, giving Nebraska a first down at the 26.

An 11-yard Patrick to Richnafsky pass put the ball at the 15 and three plays later the ball was at the K-State 14 with a fourth down coming up and an important decision to be made on the NU bench. The decision came quickly, as football decisions must, with Bomberger and place kick holder Ernie Sigler trotting onto the field. A few seconds later the Huskers had the lead for the first time in the game, then held off a last-ditch passing blitz by K-State quarterback Bill Nossek to preserve their third win of the season without a loss. Not since the Missouri game at Columbia two years ago have the Huskers started so far down as they did here Saturday afternoon as 22,000 umbrella-hoisting fans gathered in their seats with the rain pouring down. The Santa Claus Huskers handed a fired-up Kansas State squad, making its Big Eight debut under new coach Vince Gibson, two gift scoring opportunities and the Wildcats about to relinquish the gift certificates.

Instead, they cashed them into a 14-0 lead with only 11:41 gone in the game. Patrick presented the first Continued on Page 3C, Col. First Quarter C.

The weather, with a light rain or mist falling throughout the gam caused some revision in the Nebraska strategy. tbe field condition like was, it forced both teams to leave the running game and turned it into a passing Devaney pointed out. Nebraska, which averaged 231 yards on the ground in its first two starts, managed only 114 in 53 rushing attempts against the Wildcats. field was really tricky.

Some spots were okay, but others soft and there was a lot of fullback Dick Davis explained. But the Frank Patrick to Dennis Richnafsky nation kept the Cornhuskers on the move when the dependable ground game was mired. gave Richnafsky the game ball. He certainly deserved said Devaney. were giving double coverage to the long side of the field so we worked on the short side to the Nebraska coach explained.

Devaney said that a defensive gamble helped Kansas State set up its field goal attempt in the second quarter. A 23-yard Dana Stephenson punt went out of bounds on the Kansas State 47 and on the first play quarterback Bill Nossek went for the to Dave Jones, who had slipped behind Stephenson. were in a goal line defense. It was a matter of guessing wrong more than improper explained Devaney. Stephenson made a diving stop of Jones at the Nebraska 11 and the Huskers held and forced a 27-yard attempt by Mike Bruhin.

His kick missed by about the same margin was good as they kicked from nearly identical field position. 28, Auburn 19 scored in each quarter via the passing arms of Max Linder and Steve Nielson for a 28-19 victory over Auburn here Saturday night.
