Osteen Puts LA Back in Runnings 4-0 Los Angeles Claude Osteen, bottom man of the Dodgers big three, succeeded Saturday wHere Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale failed and pitched Los Angeles to its first World Series victory. 4-0. after the two aces had lost the first two games to the Minnesota Twins. The former American League hander who never lost to the Twins in hts days with Washington, carried his charm through nine brilliant innings with a five- hitter. A Dodger Stadium record crowd of 55,934 saw the Dodgers gang up on Camilo Pascual for two runs in the fourth on a single by John Roseboro with the bases loaded.

Lou double, following Willie single, gave Los Angeles a third run in the fifth before Pascual faded for a futile pinch hitter. Jim Merritt, a Dodger clubhouse boy in 1961. gave up the final run in the sixth on i single by Wes Parker and a double by Maury Wills. With a chance to square the Series Sunday, Dodger manager Waiter Alston had announced he would call on Drysdale, ioser of the first game, to face Jim Grant, the man who beat him Wednesday, 8-2. The Twins lost more than the game when Earl Battey, their No.

1 catcher, ran into the railing near the Twins dugout while trying to catch a foul in the seventh. He was forced to leave the game. Los Angeles also had a casually. Jim Lefebvre suffered a bruised right heel while scoring from second on hit in the fourth. X-rays proved negative, but Dick Tracewski took over.

While Osteen was baffling the slugging Twins with four singles and one double, the supposedly weak-hitting Dodgers ripped into Pascual and Merritt for 10 hits, five of them doubles. Series in Detail Pnge 8C It was obvious at the start that Pascuai, who missed seven weeks in and September due to an operation in his right arm pit, was not sharp. The Dodgers were hitting long fly balls, and the curve ball was not as effective as usual. Pascual skirted serious trouble in the first three innings but the Dodgers finally got to him in the fourth. Ron Fairly led off with a double past third base down the left field line and Johnson sacrificed him to third.

Zoilo Versalles made a fine stop of hard smash, holding Fairly on third but had no play at first base as Lefebvre was credited with a single. Parker walked on four pitches, loading the bases. Ro.seboro. the fellow who was hit on the head by Juan bat in a big rhubarb at San Franci.sco in late singled to right field and two big runs scampered home. That really was all Osteen needed.

The 26-year-old pitcher had the Twins under control. Osteen is the man who came to the Dodgers last December from Washington with third baseman John Kennedy and 1100,000 for five players. It was only the third time the Twins had been shut out this season. Most of the game was played under lights because of a heavy grey fog. The sun finally broke through in the late innings.

When Versalles rifled first pitch to left field for a ground rule double, it looked like another chapter of Minnesota story. But the Dodgers came through with a key play after Harmon Killebrew walked with two out. When the Twins tried a hit and run, Battey missed the sign, took the pitch and Roseboro fired to Wills at second. But Wills switched to the plate In time to trap Versalles. Zoilo finally headed back for third and was thrown out.

was our type of said manager Walter Alston of the Dodgers. finally had a chance to do some Wills stole his first base in the third inning and Parker and Roseboro worked a double steal in the fourth after the two runs were in, but they were stranded when Osteen and Wills popped up. Tiviiis Both Lose Prestige Rockets to New Height WIREPHOTO Catcher Earl Battey of Minnesota lost the foul ball on this play and the Twins lost Battey. His neck was badly bruised and he had to leave the third World Series Game. Watching at left is Twins first baseman Don Mincher.

By CURT MOSHER highly ranked Cornhuskers Sugar Bowl scouts and 53,810 fans to one of the sweetest sights see all season as the Big Eight behemoths brushed aside Wisconsin of the Big Ten, 37-0, Saturday afternoon. While ballooning their national prestige to an all-time high, the Huskers, in recording their fourth straight victory, used this brilliant sunshiny day to wipe out a half century of Big Eight frustration against the Badgers. The awesome Huskers, rated No. 1 by UPI and No. 2 by AP, exploded for more points in one day Big Eight teams had scored on Wisconsin in 12 games dating back to 1895.

A tie by Colorado three weeks ago was the best a league school had done against Wisconsin. So impressive were the Huskers they accomplished all of this on a day when things exactly go their way. They had two passes intercepted. I a fumble and worked against 91 yards of penalties. It matter.

XEBRASKA, OCT 10. 1965 for the fiist time as a starter this year and teaming witii Frank Solich in an exciting running exhibition the Huskers struck swiftly when they struck. And the Huskers opposed to taking advantage of any breaks which came their way.

like the first one for instance. Thwarted on their first try A1 Kuehl. subbing the ailing Ron Kirkland, booted a booming punt which Tom Brigham fumbled at the Wisconsin 31. Dennis Carlson of the Huskers recovering. On the first play Duda popped a pass over the middle to Tony Jeter, the burly tight end.

And Jeter, bumped solidly by Dave Fronek as he caught it. shook him off and ran to the Wisconsin three for a 28- yard gain. It took four more plays. but Pete Tatinaii banged over from the one. Larry missed on conversion but the Huskers were on their way.

Nebraska score again until midway the second quarter, but the Huskers were effectively bottling up any Wisconsin threat. Only twice in the first half did Wisconsin worm its way into Nebraska territory. The Badgers got to the Nebraska 39 on their first opportunity, but stout defensive play by Lynn Senkbeil. Bill Haug, Dick Czap and Mike Kennedy killed that drive off at the Wisconsin 46. The other Badger thrust was to the Husker 34.

but that drive, too, ended up behind that at the 37. Chuck Burt, the highly touted quarterback, completed 11 passes and Wisconsin had a dozen good ones for the day, but they did no damge as Nebraska kept a good rush on and picked off three of his tosses, two by Wachholtz and one near the finish by Joe Unis. Wisconsin finished with only 142 vards on offense while NU piled up 381, 283 of it on the ground. Duda and 1 i h. along with sophomore Ben Gregory, got most of it.

Duda got a big hunk on the Huskers second touchdown. Running the option the way it was intended to be run. Duda rolled out to his right on a second and two situation from the Nebraska 41 and fled 59 yards unscathed for the second tally five minutes deep in the second quarter. He turned in two great fakes just as he was turning the corner, then cut back to his left and panted i way into the end zone. The Huskers chose to go for two points and got it on a pass from Duda to Freeman White.
