Sport By Signals 1 nwamiiitiimiiiinmiiimiiiiiiiiiiH Hal Brown Madison, Wis. If changing trains in Chicago or being so close to Milwaukee does nothing else for you, it makes you think of what Milwaukee and Larry Shepard have in common both have been slighted by major league baseball. If you were able to keep track of the musical chairs game played the past week in the big leagues, you know that once again Shepard, one of the most successful of minor league managers, has been left without a chair. A reliable source claims Shepard had a line on the Cleveland job. But the Indians hired Joe Adcock.

He also had been contacted about being pitching coach with Boston. But that went to A1 Lakeman. Then there was St. Louis. Larry spent a couple of days with manager Red Schoedienr but the St.

Louis brass hired Billy Muffett as pitching coach. When Detroit manager Mayo Smith decided to hire a pitching coach, he took advantage of the rift at Minnesota and grabbed Johnny Sain from the Twins. That leaves Minnesota without a pitching coach, but where does that leave Shepard? Probably back at Columbus since an Associated Press story speculating on successor at Minnesota mentioned everyone but Sibby Sisti and Larry Shepard.

Halfback Larry Carwell set a Big Eight conference record when he returned two interceptions 123 yards.

One of them set up the first Cyclone touchdown. The biggest excitement in the game came when Dave Spealler little as football players go at 5-feet-5 inches and 130 pounds booted a 36-yard field goal to give Iowa State a 10-0 lead in the second quarter, Spealler, a sophomore who was an all-state soccer player in high school in Philadelphia, was paying in his first football game. He joined the Cyclone squad only Wednesday after two fraternity brothers encouraged him to contact Iowa State coaches to see if they could use his kicking ability. Spealler who wore a football helmet, shoulder pads and jersey but only gym shorts approaches place kicks from an angle. He later booted an extra point in the third quarter and handled most of the kickoff duties.

Carwell set up the first touchdown when he inter cepted a pass from Bob Skahan and raced 75 yards before being knocked out of bounds on the Jayhawk 4. Cyclone quarterback Tim Van Galder went over on the next play. In the third period, Carwell intercepted another Skahan pass on the Iowa State 41 and ran it back 48 yards to the Kansas 11.

Continued from Page 1C Nebraska still through and continued to dominate play in the final period despite the fact Devaney used his bench freely- Wayne Weber and Ernie Sigler both saw duty at quarterback and it was a Weber-guided group which scored the final touchdown with 4:21 to play. The Huskers got the ball when Len Janik picked off the third Wisconsin pass at the Wisconsin 37. Sophomore Dick Davis as the running whiz of the drive, using the same play twice to gain 16 and 9 yards in the march.

Paul Critchlow waded in from the one-yard line for the tally and Wachholtz converted. NU intercepted a final pass in the dying minutes with Dennis Thorell nailing it at the Nebraska 24. The NU subs were moving when the game ended. Even though Nebraska was outclassing the Badgers, who now stand 2-2, in the first half it was another of those frustrating situations where the yards were coming but the points The Huskers fumbled the first time they had the ball and stalled at the Wisconsin 36 the second. This after Wilson, who finished with 86 yards, had roamed for 33 and Churehich had fired a 16-yard pass to Gregory.

Nebraska got its field goal the next possession, Carel Stith arranging that when he recovered a fumble at the Wisconsin 28 after Langston Coleman had jarred the ball loose from Wisconsin sophomore quarterback John Ryan. The Huskers drove to the 10 with Churehich hitting Tom Penney with an eight-yard pass for the big play. But NU settled for three points here with eighth career field goal tying him with Vic Halligan and Ron Meade. Wisconsin came right back with its best drive of the day, moving from its 35 to the Nebraska 15 from where Tom SchinJke kicked a field goal. Ryan was a sharp young quarterback in the drive and had a sharp young receiver in Tom McCauley helping him.

But NU stiffened in time to force the field goal with Jim McCord nailing Ryan on a third down play. NU had its most frustrating development in the second period. The Huskers drove from their 12 to the Wisconsin 37 and then suffered two straight delay penalties and finally had to punt from the Nebraska 48. Churehich said later there was a mix-up in communication on the field. But the next possession, coming when Rick Coleman recovered a fumble at the Nebraska 36, finally produced a touchdown.

NU rolled 64 in seven plays with 11 and 13- yard passes to Tatman and Morrison and a personal foul against Wisconsin doing the major damage. Gregory raced the final nine yards for the touchdown with 4:37 to play in the quarter. After Marv Mueller intercepted a pass, Nebraska got it going again but Churehich had his pass stolen in the Wisconsin end zone by Schinke. The other Nebraska interception was by linebacker Barry Alvarez, who proved for a moment speed can be highly overrated as he returned it 25 yards. For the record, Churchich, who needed only five completions and one yard, easily did as be was predicted to do and now holds virtually all of the Nebraska passing records.

Within three games he could hold them all.
