By ELDON MILLER. Raleigh, N. Sunday LINCOLN, Nebr. -State's spiritled Wolfpack Cornhuskers pushed to the Nebraksa's limit unbeaten here Saturday before bowing to the home team, 19-14. Leading most of the game, the tired Wolfpack yielded Nebraska's winning touchdown with just 1:08 left.

The Cornhuskers, guided by quarterback Dennis Claridge, made the most of their time, moving from their 20-yard line with 2:35 left. State threatened after the score as quarterback Jim 1 Rossi threw a 41-yard pass to fullback Gene Young. Young was caught by Dwaine Carson and John Kirby at the Nebraska 24. There were 40 seconds remaining. But Nebraska's defense tightened fourth down and 11 yards to go, Rossi was swamped under at the 35.

The game ended seconds later. The victory thrilled a capacity crowd of 38,000 and the Cornhusker team members who jumped enthusiastically when halfback Dennis Stuewe, whose ability to play was in doubt because of injury, ran 12 yards on a power sweep to the left for NU's clincher. Pack Takes Lead. State, a definite underdog, should have won if poetic justice were to be served here. The Pack jumped on the powerful Cornhuskers early in the first quarter as Rossi scored from the 3.

The play was set up by halfback Joe Scarpati's brilliant punt return that gave State a first down on the Nebraska 31. Then after Nebraska finally scored a touchdown and went ahead on an extra point early in the second half, Scarpati ran the kickoff 91 yards to put the Pack ahead again. It was the first big play. of the year for State, which earlier this season had been the victim of such explosions. The run, on which the 177-pound junior was not touched, would have electrified a State home crowd.

It shocked the partisan crowd here. Rossi passed to end Ray Barlow for the two-point conversion and State led, 14-7. The Pack then staged a dramatic goal line stand, the excitement of which was heightened by the appearance of Nebraska's AllAmerica fullback candidate Bill (Thunder) Thornton. Fumble. State then held Nebraska on a series of downs and, after a Nebraska punt, took over on its 29.

But alternate quarterback Bill Kriger fumbled the snap from center on the first play from scrimmage and NU tackle Al Fischer fell on it. Nebraska moved to a first down on the State 5.

The 212-pound Negro was not supposed to play because of an ankle injury. His appearance had all the spectaculars of a motion picture on Saturday's hero. But Nebraska tried to fool State, as Claridge sent Thornton middle of the line and kept himself. He was stopped at the line, trying to score over his right tackle. Nebraska scored what could have been the big touchdown with 8:08 left.

The Cornhuskers moved from their 20 to a touchdown in 11 plays, the last a oneyard run around left end by Stuo ewe. That made the score 14-13, State's favor. Claridge went for the two point attempt, but his pass intended for Stuewe was batted down by fullback Pete Falzarano. Moments earlier Falzarano had prevented NU from scor- See STATE, Page Four.

By DICK HERBERT DURHAM Duke's aggressive line overpowered California here Saturday as the Blue Devils went on three touchdown marches that gave them a 21-7 Homecoming Day victory. Holding the Golden Bears to a net of 12 yards by rushing and opening the way for Duke's fine corp of backs to ramble, the line forced the Bears into a passing game that was not a match for Duke's "infantry marches. The Blue Devils scored in each of the first three periods on advances of 58. 45, and 74 yards, each of which, oddly enough, required 10 plays.

The Bears rallied from a 14-0 halftime deficit to go 64 yards for their score after taking the second-half kick- off. Stopped Late in the game California recovered a fumble on the Duke 34 and moved to the three, but the stout defense was too much and forced the West Coast visitors back to the 13. Halfbacks Billy Futrell, Mark Leggett, and Bill Baird and fullback Mike Curtis took full advantage of the holes sprung open for them by the light, but quick Duke forwards. In all, the Duke ground brought 225 yards. The defense was so strong California found early it had to throw the ball.

It did this well by completing 15 of 26 for 203 yards. Duke saw its swing end covered by two men most of the time and thus relied on its ground attack for the most part. There were three completed passes in the three touchdown marches. Some Revenge Duke entered the game with an 0-4 record against West Coast opposition but quickly asserted its superiority by going 58 yards for a score the second time it came into possession of the ball. Mark Leggett, the senior right halfback from Asheporo who runs low to the ground, scored from the 6.

He had another outstanding performance. Midway in the second half after a penalty of 15 yards halted a drive that carried to the California 4, the Blue Devils drove 45 yards for their second score. This came on a smash at the middle by sophomore Mike Curtis from three yards away. California took to the air successfully as the third quarter started and used key aerials to advance from its 36 to the Duke 12. There Captain Larry Balliett passed 12 yards to halfback Alan Nelson, who was free in the end zone.

Devils March Now faced with a lead of only 14-7, the Blue Devils quickly did something about it by moving 74 yards after the kickoff. Curtis burst through the middle of the line from the 14 to score. Bill Reynolds made his third straight conversion and Duke had a 21-7 advantage. That ended the scoring, but there were enough fireworks left to keep most of the crowd of 000 in their seats until the gun. The Duke defensive stand in the final minute that stopped the Bears after they had reached the 3 was one of the highlights of the Duke performance.

The victory was the third straight for the Blue Devils following their opening 14-7 loss at Southern California. Changing the pattern of the previous two decisions over South Carolina and Florida Duke was stronger in the first half than in the second. California was regarded as a dangerous offensive team, but the determined Duke line play took away its running game. Balliett did a good job of throwing, but it was not enough. Start Well The Blue Devils got good field position from the start.

They won the toss and received. Leggett made a good return from his 5 to the 41. A pass failed on the first play and two line smashes brought nine yards. On fourth down Bobby Hawn punted to the California 17. The Bears were held and kicked out to the Duke 42.

From here the Blue Devils stayed on the ground and marched for their See DUKE, Page Four. RAPPOLD TURNER Cal. LEGGETT WALTER Cal. RAPPOLD LEGGETT I WALTER Cal.

Commissioner Ford Frick called off Saturday's game as soon as he arrived at the park. He immediately went into a huddle with Matty Schwab, the groundskeeper, on the possibilities for Sunday. "We'll proceed on a strictly dayto-day said Frick.

"If it is bad Sunday, I'll be out with Matty early. I'll make a decision Asked about the soggy outfield under the high grass that has not been cut for several days, Frick said, "we have a very serious problem." He quickly quashed any rumors that the Series might be shifted to any other site. "Positively not," said Frick. "It will be played right here if we have to wait until Christmas." "The soil 1S adoble," said Schwab. "That is the trouble.

The water can't penetrate. You could play on it but it would be like football. When the ball hits it will stay right there." The weatherman gave some hope that the storm was tailing NEB. 154 202 15-25 0 6-30 43 0--14 (Barlow 48 THAT DID -Nebraska halfback Dennis Stuewe (34) lies on his back after scoring the winning touchdown late in the game with N.

Informed that the weather man said there was a likelihood of rain Sunday, Frick said, "If I was a gambling man, I'd hire that fellow to go to Las Vegas for me. His predictions are pretty good." The day postponement already was the longest weather break since the 1911 Series when the Philadelphia A's and New York Giants waited a week from Oct. 17 to Oct.

24 to play the fourth game in Philadelphia. That Series lasted 13 days, and didn't end until Oct. 26. The current series will go into its 10th day Sunday. The New York Yankes, leading 3-2 in this -seven series that has turned it into a rest cure, were champing at the bit.

Manager Ralph Houk tried desperately to find a field house with a dirt floor for a workout but had to give up. He gave orders for everybody to be ready at 9:30 a.m. Sunday because "we'll work out someplace if they can't play the game." He mentioned Modesto, San Jose and Fresno as possibilities.

CHAPEL HILL Deadeye Dick Shiner hit 14 of 18 passes but a midfield misplay hurt Carolina even more here Saturday. It halted a Tar Heel comeback try and sent the unbeaten Terps to a 31-13 victory before a coming Day crowd of 26,000. The luckless Tar Heels, behind 14-0 early in the game, were trailing 17-13 and had the ball in good position when the play turned the tide near the end of the third quarter. Ou third down from the Maryland 46, sophomore halfback Ronnie Jackson, trapped on a re. verse, tried to pitch the ball to a Carolina backfield mate.

Guard Fred Joyce of the Terps picked it out of the air and carried it to the Carolina 41. From then on, what had been an even ball game became all Maryland. The Terps, sniffing their fourth straight victory, went quickly for a touchdown, outfoxing the Tar Heels by featuring running the ball for the first time all afternoon. With a 24-13 lead, Maryland recovered a fumble at the Carolina 12 and went over in two plays. John Hannigan, who has never missed a conversion attempt in college, kicked his 26th straight point for the final margin.

Those events in the last quarter overshadowed what had been a sparkling offensive show by both teams on a very hot (85 degrees) day. The brilliant passing of quarterback Dick Shiner led to 17 points for the Terps in the first half while Carolina staged two good drives for touchdowns in the second quarter. The Terps, riding the unerring arm of Shiner, moved for touchdowns the first two times they got the ball. Then the Tar Heels, on their third possession, flashed 86 yards in nine plays, most of them passes by quarterback Junior Edge. Maryland came right back with a 59-yard march to the 21 where Hannigan kicked a field goal.

With the score now 17-7, Carolina barged 61 yards, mostly the ground, for its second touchdown. By then, there were only two See UNC, Page Four.

By JACK STEPHENS COLUMBIA, S. C. South Carolina recovered five Wake Forest fumbles Saturday night and converted them into a 27-6 lacing of the Deacons. The Gamecocks ran almost at will around the Wake Forest ends, scoring twice in each half.

Halfback Billy Gambrell, the USC ace senior, scored the first and last touchdowns on runs of four and two yards. The flashy 173-pounder just missed electrifying the crowd with a 108-yard kickoff return when he was pulled down at his 45 by Deac Wally Bridwell, the last man between the Gamecock runner and the goal. Left end John Caskey caught a 12-yard pass in the second period for second TD and quarterback Dan Reeves, a cool 18-yearold quarterback, got the other on a sneak. Jack McCathern toed three extra points. Deacs Score.

The lone Wake score came in the third period after the Deacs pounced on a USC fumble at the South Carolina 23. Five plays later Bridwell slithered around right end, barely diving into the end zone. The first South Carolina touchdown was the result of an 11- play, 70-yard drive.
