But not until Muncie sophomore Luther Bradley raced 99 yards with an interception four minutes into 'the final chapter, did it -cease to, be 1 hairy for the ninth-raijked" Irish. Bradley who sat out last 'season because of disciplin-' ary problems, completely turned the tide just. when Purdue appeared ready1 to grab a long-sought lead, Flanker Paul Beery's miraculous catch of a Craig Nagel pass carried 31 yards to a first and-goal on the Irish four and their 3-0 edge was wavering in the wind. But, halfback Scott got exactly nothing in season.

When the score reached 10-0 on Eveland's 22-yard field goal with 1:09 remaining in the initial period Ne-braska had amassed 150 yards total offense to Indiana's ZERO, At the half the 'Huskershad 224 yards to Indiana's 31 all of which came on one drive which failed when Frank Stavroff was wide to the right on a 28-yard field goal. Hoosier Coach' Leei Corso, who refused to lose his enthusiasm, believes "two" crucial scoring plays" broke the game open for Nebraska. The first was Tony Davis' slashing 20-yard run which put the count at 17-0 with 3:29 left before the break. Davis swept right from his fullback position, broke tackles of Willie Wilson and Donnie Thomas and dove into the end zone. The second was split end Bobby Thomas' leaping catch of a 12-yard pass from Luck in the left corner of the end zone.

Thomas went high in front of Harold Waterhouse to grab ball and give Nebraska its 24-0 intermission lead. -V- -Davis' touchdown followed a rare blocked kick. Hoosier punter Trent Smock was flanked to the right on third and 14 at the I.U. 6. Jones passed, the ball to Smock as he took' a step backward, but before he could get trie kick off Nebraska defensive back Wonder Monds was on the Monds blocked the ball and Nebraska took over on the I.U.
