try this,
awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) {if(NR==1 && $i~/ddd/) {print $i;a=i;next}if(a>0){print $a;next}}}' filename

I imagine there are much neater ways, but this seems to work:
awk -vMYCOL="ddd" '{if (NR == 1) { for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) { if ($i == MYCOL) { mycolnum = i } } } { print $mycolnum }}' file1

EDIT:...

without the command "gzip" but with the command "gzcat"...
it is faster...:b:

for files in *.gz
do
FILE=`echo ${files} | cut -d"." -f1`
gzcat ${files}| tail +2 > ${FILE}
mv ${files}...

Most important thing is to backup these files before you try doing "mass" updates like these.
Then try something like:

for files in *.gz
do
gzip -dc "$files" | tail +2 | gzip -c >...
