Thefts, Mud, Defense Contribute to 23-3 Reds Win By HAL BROWN Bob Devaney promised Nebraska football fans it be a runaway. For tbe first 55 minutes it then the Reds scored two late touchdowns for a 23-3 victory in the annual NU intrasquad game. But the 13,000 Husker fans who showed up Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium will have to wait four months to find out whether it was a better-than-expected defense, a muddy field, or an offense that still needs some work that kept points off the scoreboard. The muddy field factor will in Field Hurt Passing Nebraska football coach Bob Devaney shook his head as he looked over the statistics for spring game. had a very poor passing he said, citing 1336 by the Whites and 12-32 by the Reds.

Planned installation of artificial turf this summer should eliminate some of the problems the Cornhusker offense experienced Saturday in trying to negotiate on a slick, muddy surface. Bids are now being accepted for the turf and Devaney is hopeful that be able to recommend which bids be accepted to the Board of Regents prior to their May 18 meeting. just about have to get started on this project by June 1 if we hope to have the work completed by the Shrine he said.

Fans can hope that with the natural turf going out, the pass interceptions that stopped most offensive marches also will be gone. And they can hope that the defense will be as good as it looked throughout most of the afternoon, a sunny afternoon that by end had improved footing considerably on the chopped-up stadium turf. The most impressive offensive showing of the afternoon came in the fourth quarter when quarterback Jerry Tagge, who had had a disappointing afternoon until then, directed a 97-yard march that sewed up the victory for the Red team, putting thejT Sesf Reod in Sporft Is Sport Red Snnbae Journal mil SPOKTRED SECTION 10 PAGES LINCOLN, NEBRASKA MAY 10, 1970, PAGE 1 ahead, 16-3, with only 4:24 re- COLOR The Reds took over after stopping a pass interference- aided White march at their own three-yard line, holding the Whites back on four straight plays from inside the 10. Tagge, whose passes to the other team while quarterbacking the Whites in the first half, helped stake the Reds to a 9-0 halftime lead, used a Whites offside and a five-yard smash by Jeff Kinney to push the ball out to the 15 to get working room.

Bob Case drove in all four Cyclone runs as ISU moved its record to 10-2. In other single games, Nebraska edged Kansas, 7-6, in 10 innings, Oklahoma squeezed by Kansas State, 4-3, and Missouri handed Colorado its 10th loss of the campaign, 7-2.

Bobby Jack drove in all four runs and pitched a seven-hitter as the Sooners went above the .500 mark at 7-6 with their win against Kansas State. Neil Sloman and winning pitcher Bob Sheetz each poled two-run homers in victory over the Buffs at Boulder.

The right-handed hitting Griego laced the ball up the right-centerfield alley plating Arnold Placke and Dennis Jorgensen with two retired in and was tagged with his second loss of the season without a win. Robisch had relieved Bob Wolf after Joe Baker had reached first on an error by Jayhawk third baseman Keith Lieppman. Neil Garvey sacrificed Baker to second and Placke was used as a pinch runner. Griego had stolen two bases earlier in the game to bring his conference leading total to 14. But the running and hitting of Griego overshadow the stingy relief effort by Cramer and the home run hitting of Tom Tidball and Baker.

While this duo was handling The game was the last home contest for the Huskers. An estimated crowd of 1,350 was in attendance at the NU diamond for a lengthy 3:25 game.

uoleiB bold- faeed for p.m. Sunday State Auto Racing Super Modified at Eagle, STAFF PHOTO BY WILLIS VAN SICKLE Nebraska first baseman Pat Elgert leaps for a high throw, but came down with it in time to get Keith Lieppman. With runners nt second and third and Adrian Fiala at the plate, NU coach Tony Sharpe charged from the bench accusing KUnsas pitcher Bob Kaufman of balking. Such a call would have scored Griego from third and tied the game. But, after the lengthy argument and pushing session by both umpires and managers, a decision was made in favor.

According to the home plate umpire, the Kansas pitcher had signaled for an intentional pass to Fiala instead of making an illegal movement on the mound. A Big Eight rule allows the defensive team that option if they wish to throw the four balls. Fiala was eventually awarded first base, but the Nebraska rally and scoring chances were baited as Pat Elgert lined out to center. The win finally boosted the Huskers over the .500 mark in conference action. They stand 76 on the season while second- place Kansas owns an 8-6 mark.
