The Buffaloes ripped through the Huskers for a net total of 363 yards and the Beast collected 108 of them himself.

But he didn't take top honors in the ball lugging department. That honor went to Bob Stransky who kept the Cornhuskers off balance all afternoon. Stransky gained 120 yards, most of them coming on reverses off the Colorado single wing. Bayuk, thbugh, was the hero for determined Buffs. Idcntial TD Plays His two touchdowns came on By DON BRYANT Staff Sports Writer BOULDER, Colo.

"The Beast" finally has his day against the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers. Colorado's hard charging fullback John Bayuk had tried for two years to live up to his advance notices and failed both times. But Saturday afternoon "The Beast" gained his revenge, scoring both Colorado touchdowns as the Golden Buffaloes blanked the Huskers, 16 0. It was the first time the Corn huskers bad been shutout this fall and the goose egg reflected Nebraska's complete lack of offensive punch through the long, dull contest. While 45,500 Homecoming fans enjoyed themselves (nearly 7,000 Nebraskans didn't get much opportunity to yell), Dal Ward's Buffaloes stamped themselves as definite contenders for the Big Seven berth in the Orange Bowl.

Best Buffs This was by far the best Colorado team to play against the fe identical plays, weakside traps, the first a 23 yard jaunt in the second quarter and the second a 14 yard thrust in the third period. Both extra points were booted by Ell win Indorf. Nebraska donated two points to the Colorado cause in the final seconds of the first half. The Cornhuskers, trailing 7 0, had just gotten a fine break, but some questionable quarterbaciring turned the break into a safety for Colorado. 66 Yard Run Eddie Dove brought the crowd to its feet with a dazzling 66 yard run, on the first play after George Harshman's unsuccessful field goal try with about three minutes remaining in the half.

With the ball on the Nebraska 24, Leroy Clark got 16 yards on two tries before Stransky fought to the three. But Stransky fumbled and Husker Bob Berguin recovered on the three. All the Huskers had to do was run out the clock, one minute remained, and it looked like that was the battle plan: Brown banged the middle twice and moved the ball out to the 10. But on the next play with 12 seconds left, Halfback Frank Nappi was sent to his right on an option pass play and he got no protection. Safety Frank Clarke nailed Nappi in the end zone for the safety, giving Rock'em Sock'em Sooners KO Bewildered Irish, 40 0 4 catches Cornhusker's jersey.

Unquestionably, the Sooners paced by halfback Clendon Thom as' two touchdowns struck a solid blow in their bid to return to the No. 1 position in The Associated Press national poll. Michigan State's Spartans, currently the nation's No. 1 team, were upset by Illinois, 20 13, today.

Michigan State was held to a 7 7 halftime tie by Notre Dame which trailed 26 0 at halftime. A Notre Dame record crowd of 60,128 saw the Irish blanked for the first time in 28 games by a Sooner attack which ignored unimpressive game statistics while they poked across six touchdowns, four coming in the first half. Thomas, who teamed with half back Tommy McDonald for 121 rushing yards on 23 carries, scored once on an 11 yard run and again on a 36 yard saunter with an interception of a Paul Hornung pass. End John Bell, one of the five Sooners who scored touchdowns, scored in the first quarter on a 1 yard plunge. McDonald made it 26 0 by intercepting a pass by Notre Dames Jim Morse and streaking 55 yards for a touchdown.

In the Sutton region, where much of the land has been irrigated, reports indicated that not more than one shot could be taken at the birds.

A Lincoln party of 12 in that area said that they had had good luck, though, and had filled their bags by mid morning. The flat lands of the state offered pretty good hunting, Munger summed it up. He concluded that the pheasant population is "large" this year. The Game Commission has set up courtesy check stations where hunters can stop and provide information which the commission will use in tabulating more accurate figures on the bird population. See Neale Copple's Woods Waters for a slant on the "new" Nebraska hunter.

LP Duke turned loose a sophomore studded set of fleet backs and threw up a sturdy defense Saturday to wallop North Carolina State 42 0 in an Atlantic Coast Conference football game that was hardly a contest. Star quarterback Sonny Jurgen sen, nursing a leg injury, left the bench only long enough to direct the third touchdown drive late in the second period. But the Blue Devils, with Jurgensen's soph replacements Bob Brodhead and Pryor Millner at the controls, functioned wtih devastating effectiveness. Wray Carlton, a driving soph halfback, scored twice and led the Duke spree with 77 yards in 13 rushes. Carlton's total was matched by another soph, George Dutrow, who had 77 on 10 carries.

Duke amassed 412 yards on the ground. The Blue Devils turned a cou pie of breaks into their first two touchdowns but from then on they simply overpowered the opposi tion. N. C. State 0 8 0 Duke 7 14 14 742 Duke scoring Touchdowns: Carlton 2 (2.

Bob Benson the district chief warden, said there seemed to be about an even number of birds and hunters.

In the Lincoln area, however, Bill Cunningham, Hie warden, said that hunting was only "fair." The ratio was two to one. "Two hunters for every bird." Many hunters said they spotted a good number of pheasants, but too good a number of hens. Munger said that those hunters who got out early in the morning were filling their bags. 'A about 10:30 luck seemed to slack. Then the shooters had to work for their limit, he stated.

Generally, the areas near towns offered poor hunting and those nimrods who got away from the populated areas were having bet i ter luck. The wind and dust didn't seem to have too adverse an effect on the hunting Saturday. One group which returned with filled bags said that the only trouble was that the hunting was "dirty."
