Flip-Flop Play Scores Two for NU BUSKERS ROMP, 44-0 Zippity Duda Zips Again U'l By HAL BROWN Nebraska football coaches may be finding the 1965 football season just a weekly series of problems, the problem facing them next week wiU be much more pleasant than the one they battled last week. pleasant problem than the one faced last week of trying to correct a leaky pass defense that cropped np against the Air Force. The big problem for Husker coaches this week was set up by the performances of quarterbacks Fred Duda and Bob Churchich in racking up the worst beating a Nebraska team has handed Iowa State since 1922 when NU won, 54-6. The Huskers changed the plot for their third win of the season before a record crowd of 54,125 including 3,800 high school musicians for Band Day. In the first two wins, Nebraska had gotten off to big first quarter leads, then watched the leads diminish as the game progressed.

Saturday was different. After a 04) first quarter score, Husker fans may have begun to worry about the second quarter slump that had plagued the Scarlet and Cream gridders in the two opening wins. But they have worried as Duda, who was injured in the Iowa State game at Ames a year ago, made a serious bid to regain his starting quarterback berth from incumbent Churchich whom he had been unable to unseat since Churchich took over following the serious leg injury to Duda. Behind tough blocking up front, the Huskers rolled to 501 rushing and 207 passing with Harry Wilson gaining 69, Pete Tatman 62 and Charles Winters 50. Meanwhile the NU de- fense, itung by criticism that the Black Shirts were being tainted by recent performances, stopped the Cyclones with only 44 yards on the ground and 30 through the air.

But it was Duda, a spunky quarterback who drives the Cornhuskers, who got the Big Red machine rolling after Churchich had failed to generate an offense in the first quarter. Unable to move the first four times they had the ball, NU coach Bob Devaney inserted Duda into the terback slot early In tho second quarter after the Larry Wachholtz left Cyclone tacklers strewn across the field in returning a punt Continued on Page 4C, Col. 1 Statistics NEB.

JUs ISU Again, And Fredas Back By LARRY DENNIS It has been a long year for Fred Duda, who awoke on an October Sunday morning in 1964 in an Ames, hospital bed and read newspaper headlines which screamed that he might never play football again. doctor was standing right there and he said not to believe it, and since then I never thought that I Fred said Saturday after sparking Nebraska to a 44-0 triumph over Iowa State.

It was against the Cyclones last season that Duda suffered the shattered leg that cut short his junior year of competition and threatened to sideline him for good. He has been working at a comeback ever since. that irony for assistant coach George Kelly said in the locker room. year Bob Churchich rescued Duda in the I a State game, and this year Duda rescued Fred, who declares i leg does not bother him a bit, took over in the second quarter after Churchich and the Huskers stuttered at the beginning. Before the half he had tossed an eight-yard touchdown pass to Dennis Richnafsky and a perfect 26- yarder to Freeman White sandwiched around a twisting four-yard touchdown run which he made himself.

The Snook and Burt Show, which sounds like an old vaudeville act but was supposed to be more of an aerial circus performance, almost failed to materialize here Saturday, but Charlie Burt had just enough ham in him to save the show. The sophomore whiz, who came into the game as the No. 2 passer on total completions, came up with only 10 out of 23, but the last one carved out a football upset as the Badgers unloaded on Iowa, 16-13, before a Camp Randall Stadium crowd of 63,058.

Burt, who brings his almost totally-unsupported air game to Nebraska next Saturday, earned Wisconsin i first victory of the campaign with 3:42 to play when he fired a 42-yard touchdown bomb to split end Louis Jung, who simply beat Iowa defender A1 Randolph down the sidelines. The long pass was almost out of character for Burt, who normally throws the short stuff. Wisconsin coach Milt Bruhn, a hulking sort of a man with a smile like your favorite acknowledged that this was the case. But he said the play was nothing new and that the Badgers have used it before. use it juit Big Milt aUowed.

Because Wednesday is Yom Kippur, the most solemn day on the Jewish calendar, Koufax will respect his religion and remain out of action.

Drysdale, the 23-game winner who has shared the heavy burden with Koufax all season, thus will get a chance for three' starts if the Series goes the seven-game route. The victory over Milwaukee, after San Francisco had beaten Cincinnati 3-2, snuffed out the last chance of the Giants and Beif Read ii the SPORT RED SECTION LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, OCT. 3, 1965 eliminated any possibility of a National League playoff that would have delayed the start of the Series. The Dodgers and 'Twins will play the first two games at Minneapolis-St. Paul Wednesday and Thursday.

After an off day Friday for travel, they will resume the best-of-seven set at Dodger Stadium Saturday afternoon. All games will start at 1 p.m. local time and will be carried on network (NBC) radio and television. The neapolis-St. Paul area is on central standard time.

Thus the first two games will start at 2 p.m. EST. The eye-catching pitching pair of Koufax and Drysdale has made the National League champions the 13-10 favorites despite the booming power in the bats of Twin sluggers like Harmon Killebrew, Don Mincher, Bo'b Allison, Jimmie Hall and Tony Oliva. It was typical of the scrambling style that they beat the Braves for the clincher on only two hlti with a walk, stolen base, error and a wild pitch and then got two mns when Brave pitchers walked two with the bases loaded. They were low in the majors in home runs and trailed in most of power departments with a team average of .245.

For the first time in many a year, key men on both clubs are leadoff hitters who play shortstop. Maury Wills with Jus bunts, stolen bases and daring base running typifies the Dodger attack. The brilliant Zoilo Versalles of the Twins is also a fine base runner and a brilliant fielder but he has blossomed out unexpectedly as a power hitter with 19 home runs.
