in they (trainers) warned against it because he push off that fault either one of the coach said think Tagge was hampered by coming in cold and having a bad ankle We probably would have taken a look at him in the game anyway but probably not as soon as we did (due to injury) Tagge able to run certainly fault Brownson He fumbled one time Sure that hurts but Tagge did a couple of things that hurt us too The fact that they were hurt did hurl our opportunity to win this game had a chance to win the ball game with 2:10 to Devaney continued we threw an interception like to lose but in looking for something encour aging I was glad the way this team came back A lot of teams get down by 28 7 and get beat by 50 7 We came back not down about this game like some others we've lost But we sure can't be satisfied You going to win many games giving up 31 points got to be tougher defensively than we were today Our vaunted Blackshirt de fense up to their no tices in the first half (Southern Cal scored 21 points) They came back in the second half to play pretty good football two long passes killed us We let two plays like that work and still call our defense sound" Devaney said USC quarter

of Wayne Gar liner to the right field fence in the sixth inning keep ing the no hit string alive It was the first hitless pitching performance by a Pirate since Harvey Haddix hurled 12 perfect innings

night and led Morningside to a 34 28 victory over the University of Nebraska at Omaha before 9000 Shrine i Night football fans It was a bitter contest for tire 1 Indians who lost their opener for a third straight year The i Chiefs evened their record at 1 1 and made it two straight wins over the Omahans Junck 6 0 and 168 pounds fooled the vaunted Omaha defense with his rollout runs He carried the ball 18 times for 163 yards and four touchdowns The runs ranged from nine to 62 yards The first half featured offense and the second half defense The Omahans might have gone ahead except for two vital pass interceptions by Steve Jones The Chief made his first theft on the Omaha 36 midway through the third quarter His last with 5:17 to play ruined what appeared to be a promis ing drive after Herman Pearson recovered a Morningside fumble on the Omaha 39 The Indians had opportunities as Morningside lost five fumbles but could not capitalize on their chances The Omahans were in front only once during the game that at 14 13 late in the second period 15 yard run quickly erased that lead and Don Bigler took a pass for the extra point Morningside did not have to punt until 2:11 was left In the first half The Indians had two other opportunities late in the first half but one drive bogged down on the Chief 23 and the second found red Tichauer missing a field goal from the 12 yard line

Joe Orduna prompted the Buskers to passmore than he had initially planned Orduna last leading rusher suffered a knee injury in practice and watched the game on crutches from the sidelines we had Joe Orduna in there (on rank 43 yard first half run) we would have had a touchdown With speed they have caught up from Nebraska score after run carried inside the 10 Jones who Devaney said appear to have

half Saturday to threaten an upset of Southern California's football team then bowed by only a 31 21 margin while the bulk of the 67 058 fans cheered the ef fort Coach Bob Devaney promised a better offense The Com huskers made good on the promise while outdowning the Trojans 24 18 and collecting 290 yardstto the 335 Going into the final quarter Southern Cal perched saucily on a 28 7 advantage But with only two minutes and 15 seconds to play Nebraska had pulled to within 21 28 and was primed to drive again with a first down on its 33 Unhappily quarterback Jerry pass was speared by enemy John Young on the Husker 49 and returned to within 23 yards of the goal line Southern Cal hurried on to the eight It was third and six when tackle David Walline dumped quarterback Jimmy Jones for a nine yard loss and' botched the touchdown bid The visitors had to settle for a 34 yard field goal by Ron Ayala Those final three points no doubt ruined many a wager but they did nothing to detract from heartening overall performance The one somber note was the loss of sophomore quar terbacks Tagge and Van Brownson with lame ankles Nebraska got its last gasp offensive shot from the NU 23 in the final seconds The player trying to hurl lightning bolts was third stringer Tony Dvorsak The game ended with three straight in complete passes Davis Outgains OJ Coach John McKay thought SouthemCal 'played but well enough to The play was not so poor but what tailback Clarence Davis was able to reel off 114 yards in 27 carries': Statistically at least that overshadowed the 1967 debut of tailback 0 Simpson who netted 93 yards against Washington State Another good looking newcomer was rookie quarterback Jones whose back was so bad at midweek that he allegedly tie his shoelaces There was no word Saturday as to how Jones got his shoes on but he was healthy enough to pilot scoring drives of 80 61 38 and 85 yards and pitch a couple of touchdown passes Cornhusker rooters will settle for their own new quarterback twosome of Brownson and Tagge Before limping out of the game late in the third period Brownson the cool mixmaster from Shenandoah la completed seven of 11 passes for 61 yards and exhibited running ability that evoked roars of joy from the crowd Tagge limped onto the field as replacement then proceeded to hit his receivers eight times in 14 tries for 76 yards Both men demonstrated poise Brownson was stuck with a minus 15 yards on the ground that misleading figure being attributed mainly to occasional lapses in pass protection He did run for two first downs and didhinge over from the two for first: touchdown Brownson Departs Brownson was forced out of the game after being decked for a two yard loss by gigantic Tody Smith USC right tackle Tagge appeared to be in greater distress than Brownson but gutted it out long enough to engineer the second scoring sweep and most of the third Nebraska's Paul Rogers failed on field goal attempts from the 34 yard line in the first period and from the 32 in the third Actually his initial effort was good but Nebraska was guilty of Turn to Page 4 Column?
