All 40 Huskers Maul Wildcats, 41-0 Runners Score But Passing Instrumental By CURT MOSHER Manhattan, Kan. The Big 40-man restriction on traveling squads hurt Nebraska here Saturday, but it certainly do Kansas State any good as the Cornhuskers enjoyed a 41-0 cakwalk before 20,000 fans. The deepest Cornhusker coach Bob Devaney could go was to the likes of Charlie Winters and Ben Gregory and K-State will tell you only scratching the surface. horde of hard running backs, led by Harry Wilson, who bulled and danced for 72 yards, and aided by the passing of Fred Duda and Bob Churcbicb had a pleasant afternoon. Credit to Passing Winters, along with Pete Tatman, scored two touchdowns.

In fact, in all but one of the touchdown drives, passing gobbled up about half the yardage. Duda had a terrific day, particularly so after a not so terrific start when he was throwing a little long and high.

But once be found the range he had his best day of the season. He connected on 8 of 15 for 103 yards. And, just as important, he have any intercepted. Duda, who also ran for 40 yards, could have been even more spectacular statistically had it not been for some penalties early in the game. He had two long runs called back, one of them for a touchdown, the latter for a clip which prevented Nebraska from scoring in the first quarter, but just barely- The Huskers scored on the first play of the second period when Wilson bolted away from the grasp of Bill Salat to score from 11 yards out.

The run, followed by Larry Conversion, climaxed a 62-yard drive in 11 plays. This drive was typical of the importance of the air gdme. On that drive Duda pitched 12 yards to Freeman White, 12 yards to Wilson, 14 yards to Dennis Richnafsky and eight to White again. From there on in it was strictly a matter of how much. For the record, the rest of the touchdowns came like this: And Away They Go 33-yard drive in three plays after only poor punt of the day with Duda pitching 16-yard passes to Wilson and Frank Solich, Tatman going over from the one.

53-yard trip in 11 tries with 14 and 13-yard passes to White and Solich and eight and nine-yard runs by Winters and Wilson, Duda cracking in from the one. bruising 85-yard drive in 14 plays with Churchich at the controls. He pitched 14 to Richnafsky, 20 to Tony Jeter and 10 to Casey. The longest runs were 12 by Wilson and Gregory, Winters going in from the one. 52-yard drive in five plays after John fumble recovery with a 22-yard pass interference play, a 23-yard halfback pass, first of the year) from Gregory to Larry Casey and the payoff seven-yard TD run by Winters the highlights.

25-yard parade in five plays with Wayne Weber at the helm after Marv Mueller intercepted Mike pass. 11-yard run was the big one and Tatman took it over from the two. Wachholtz converted three times, Ted Vactor twice and Duncan Drum missed one. Little Chance for Larry If the Huskers failed anywhere off their customary form it was in returning punts, but that was more a matter of K-State simply doing a good job. Bob Ballard kicked high and sometimes long and the coverage was superb.

Wachholtz, the national leader going into the game, have a chance to start a runback. The Huskers effectively bottled up the K-State passing game, but in doing so allowed the Wildcats, who now have the record in reverse at 0-5, enjoyed a good rushing day for them. The best K-State could do was a thrust at the Nebraska 13 at the outset of the fourth quarter. But stout play by Walt Barnes, Kaye Carstens and Lou Narish shut it off on downs. The victory for the Huskers, ranked No.

1 in the nation by UPI and second by AP, was even more impressive in view of the injury situation with the first three defensive ends and starting halfback Ron Kirkland out and Mike Kennedy missed half of this game with a shoulder injury. Whether the easy win over K-State was impressive enough to boost the Huskers to the top rating in AP polls remains to be seen. jiiiiimiiiiiiwittiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniMiiHiiNNiiiiiniiiiiiHi vu Sports In Black Page 7C Big Eight Roundup SECllON LINCOLN.

Football followers may find it hard to believe when reading the score, but writers who had covered Kansas State in earlier contests remarked frequently about the improved showing the Wildcats were making even though being tromped, 41-0, by Nebraska here Saturday afternoon. And Husker coach Bob Devaney made the same observation as he talked after the game.

offense was better than we had seen in movies of their earlier Devaney pointed out. their ground defense was quite good. "Kansas State exhibited the ability to move the ball well at times." Devaney credited K-State coach Doug defensive plans with giving the Huskers trouble early. "They forced us to throw the ball more because they were stopping our inside running game at Devaney said. "They did a particularly fine job of de- fensing Frank Solich.

think Doug figured right in that. I would have done the same thing. You always try to defense what the other team does best. But of course when you stop one thing, it may leave something else open." Nebraska safety Larry Wachholtz agreed with Devaney that the score may not have been a true indication of the contest. score might not indicate it, but Kansas State never gave up," he pointed out.

"They were hitting hard all the Wachholtz had a few chances to find out how hard the Wildcats were hitting as they stopped the leading punt return man for no yardage on two returns plus one fair catch. "They probably worked a little more on punt return coverage this Wachholtz figured. "And they were helped in it because the punts were high. "Most of the time this season I have had only one or two players to get away from, but Kansas State had four and five players down there in front of me."

In the Texas dressing room, disappointed coach Darrell Royal said the 1965 edition of the Razorbacks were "the best Arkansas team played. I hope they go all the Royal said the same thing last year after Texas lost to Arkansas and Arkansas went imdefeated and finished with a No. 2 ranking.

"Bobby Crockett had to make two of the most unbelievable catches," Broyles said. Crockett was the favorite target all day of Arkansas quarterback Jon Brittenum. Eight of 10 completions were to Crockett and the combination clocked for 102 yards, one touchdown and the play which set up the deciding score.

Royal said, "I knew they could move the ball, but what fantastic catches Crockett made." Tommy Nobis, the g- great linebacker, said his injured knee should not be used as an excu.se.
