This, same Nebraska team also scored 42 points against UCLA, don't forget. How's that for a heaping helping of happy talk in the wake of the Husk-ers' 42-3 mashing of Iowa State? Why stop there? Better Iowa State teams have lost by a lot more here in Memorial Stadium. And another thing: The Cyclones never collapsed. They might have given out, but they never gave in or up. In fact, they actually seemed to get stronger as the game progressed.

"They played really hard," a gracious Keith Jones said after rushing for 240 yards. "They played like that till the last second ticked off. Iowa State did not come in and lie down." No, Iowa State was bowled over and flattened like a cartoon character who falls under a steamroller. But what did we expect the outcome hinging on a two-point conversion? The Cyclones could have lost by 70, and to their everlasting credit they didn't. Jim Walden can be proud the score wasn't 73-3.

The Huskers said they were impressed by Iowa State's grit. The Cyclones, they said, were better than advertised. Linebacker LeRoy Etienne shook his head when talking about Joe Henderson, who gained 67 hard-earned yards in 21 head-knocking carries. "That guy Henderson," Etienne said, "He's a really good running back. One of the best I've seen.

He can move. He can really go." BUT FLUFF and froth out of the way, the best thing that both teams can say about this mismatch is that it's over, not to be continued for another 12 months. Good riddance. With that in mind, everyone could have gone away happy. The Cyclones with the knowledge they are through with a game that should have been called off at the coin toss.

The Huskers with the understanding they can finally start thinking about Oklahoma without having to deny it. Not that the Huskers and their backers were thinking about Jamelle Holieway when they were rubbing the noble Henderson into the turf. But almost. On Saturday the Cyclones were most definitely the third team on the field. This crowd, this campus, this town, this state, this Nebraska team had Oklahoma on the brain.

How could thev help it? Remember those Minnesota Twin fans and their Homer Hankies? Outside Memorial Stadium, students were peddling the Big Red equivalents. They are called Husker Hankies, and they are to be waved during the UDComine Nebraska-Oklahoma game "Game of the CenturyPart II," the Husker Hankies say. Part you'll recall, was the 1971 Oklahoma-Nebraska game. The sequel is scheduled for Nov. 21.

The Huskers don't play next Saturday, Oklahoma is next up on their sched ule. Not everyone wearing scarlet and cream would admit to, gasp, looking ahead. Some even said they didn't believe for a minute that Walden was serious last week when he said there was no way the Cyclones could win. No. 2 Nebraska runs over Iowa State, 42-3 By BUCK TURNBULL RMister Stiff Wrlttr LINCOLN, NEB.

Iowa State was simply up against vastly superior numbers Saturday against an unbeaten Nebraska team that well could be the best in college football. The Cyclones made a game effort, and Coach Jim Walden said he was proud of them, but their only consolation prize in a 42-3 loss was that the score might not have been quite as bad as many anticipated. In its final tuneup for the clash with No. 1 Oklahoma here in two weeks, second-ranked Nebraska turned loose 18 ballcarriers who piled up 604 yards, the most ever by rushing against an Iowa State football team. The previous high was 542 yards by Oklahoma in 1985.

Speedy I-back Keith Jones led the Cornhuskers' onslaught with 240 yards in 15 carries, including touchdown runs of 27 yards and 69 yards. His backup, Tyreese Knox, churned out another 1 18 in 14 attempts. "Proud of My Players" "I'm proud of my players," Walden said. "They hung in there, and they kept trying. If a lot of them hadn't said.

"I knew I shouldn't have done it as soon as I threw it. "He Walden told me I was smarter than that, and that I should know better. Then when I fumbled a little, later on, he decided I'd better stay on the bench for the rest of the day." By that time, the Huskers were already ahead by 28-0 with almost 10 minutes remaining in the second quarter, and Derek DeGennaro finished out the game as the Cyclone quarterback. Asked if it meant Sadek would lose his starting job for Saturday's final home game against Kansas State, Walden replied: "Probably not. But he's going to have to learn to do things our way, or he's not going to play senior or not." After quarterback Steve Taylor's 9-yard scoring run gave the Huskers an early 7-0 lead, Iowa State promptly marched from its 22-yard line to a first down at Nebraska's 3.

Joe Henderson picked up 29 yards IOWA STATE Please turn to Page 5D in all nine of the college games he has played so far. Shudak has made his 15 field goals in 19 tries. The school mark was set by Tom Goedjen in 1973 and equaled byAlexGiffordsinl981. The day's most notable record went to Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne, who recorded his 146th career victory, surpassing the Big Eight mark of 145 held by former Oklahoma Coach Bud Wilkinson. The present Sooner coach, Barry Switzer, also reached No.

146 Saturday. 28-0 at Halftime The Cyclones turned the ball over four times in the first half, helping Nebraska mount a 28-0 lead at the intermission, and also sending quarterback Brett Sadek to the bench for the remainder of the game. Sadek gave the ball away on two fumbles, once at Nebraska's 1-yard line, and on an intercepted pass that drew a tongue-lashing from an angry Walden. "I was supposed to throw to the short side but I went long," Sadek 1-4 i i I DAN GABLE attack, not defend, the crown in Hilton Coliseum. "If you're defending something, there's the risk that it can be taken away," Gibbons said.

"No one can take away our 1987 title. But now there's another title up for grabs." Two of Iowa State's school-record four national champions of a year ago return: 150-pounder Tim Krieger and Eric Voelker at 190. Also back are all-Americans Jeff Gibbons at 134 and 177-pounder Mike VanArsdale.

Iowa quarterback Chuck Hartlieb and receiver Quinn Early found a spectacular way Saturday to take the spotlight off Hartlieb, who was performing 50 miles from his home in Woodstock, 111., went on a record-shattering passing spree that propelled the Hawk-eyes to a 52-24 victory over Northwestern. Hartlieb set a Big Ten record with seven touchdown passes four in the second quarter and established a school mark by throwing for 471 yards. The four scoring passes in one quarter tied a national record set by numerous quarterbacks. Early's four touchdown catches set an Iowa record and tied the Big Ten record. His 256 receiving yards accounted for a Big Ten record, and his 95-yard scoring catch set a school record and tied the conference record.

In addition to the 95-yarder in the third quarter, Early caught scoring passes of 35, 9 and 44 yards from Hartlieb. "I was getting jealous," Early said, "because Travis Watkins caught two touchdown passes. Before today I'd never had two in a college game." Watkins' scoring catches were for 22 and 7 yards. Hartlieb's other touchdown pass was a 7-yarder to David Hudson. Owner of the old records for touchdown passes and passing yardage in one game was Chuck Long.

Next March in Ames, Iowa State will be the defending champion and Iowa the unaccustomed challenger. Penn State, Oklahoma State, Arizona State and Northern Iowa should also contend. "Sooner or later, certain things had to happen," Gable said. "I just hoped they wouldn't happen under my reign.

Iowa State took the title away from me. And while I didn't want it to happen then, now I say 'Thank I'm glad they did. "I'd hate to see where I'd be right now with that 10th title. I'd be going nuts. I can honestly say we would have lost this year.

But by losing, we have a chance to win this year." Gibbons said his team plans to Dowling wins, finds itself in fifth state football final Gable glad Cyclones beat Hawks last year By RANDY PETERSON Register Stall Writer CEDAR FALLS, IA. West Des Moines Dowling finally has another chance to capture something that has slipped away on four other occasions. The Maroons advanced to the championship game of the Class 4-A high school football playoffs with a 21-3 victory Saturday over defending champion Cedar Falls. Dowling reached the championship game for the fifth time, but only the first since 1976. The Maroons have finished as state runners-up each time, losing to Cedar Rapids Jefferson, Davenport Central and Davenport West in championship games from 1972 to 1974, and to Central again in 1976.

Dowling Coach Don Mauro, an assistant on those teams, has guided the team to three straight playoffs. The Maroons' opponent at the UNI-Dome here next Friday night will be second-rated Bettendorf, a 35-14 winner over Dubuque Wahlert By RICK BROWN Register Stall Writer Iowa wrestling coach Dan Gable is one of those rare people who gets more attention for his defeats than his victories. In 1970, as a senior at Iowa State, Gable's loss to Washington's Larry Owings in the NCAA finals sent shocks through the sport. It was his only defeat in 183 high school and college matches. Last season, Gable's Hawkeyes were aiming for an unprecedented 10th consecutive NCAA title.

But under the leadership of second-year coach Jim Gibbons, Iowa State, Gable's alma mater, unseated the Hawkeyes with a brilliant display. There are similarities in those two defeats, Gable said. "I used them both to my advantage," he said. "One of the things I'm good at is taking negatives and changing them into positives. This NCAA loss has had more effect on my life than the Owings loss.

The Owings HOW THE TOP 20 FARED "Their coach is known tor nis snow jobs," said John McCormick, the all-Big Eight offensive guard. "I'm sure he doesn't tell his players the same things he tells the press. He doesn't tell them they're worthless. THEN AGAIN, McCormick was also the Gloomy Gus who looked at the Huskers' 666 total yards and shrugged. "Forty-two points for 666 yards of total offense, isn't that much," he said.

"The yards don't mean that much with all those turnovers. I hope we got it out of our system." So does Tom Osborne, the Nebraska coach. He'd warned his players not to take Walden seriously, and they tried their best. Still, Etienne, a junior who sat out the first quarter for disciplinary reasons, had a hard time keeping his mind focused. "Everyone was thinking about he said, "I know I was.

The crowd wasn't getting up for this game at all. They were thinking about Oklahoma themselves." Had Iowa State been regarded as highly as Oklahoma, Etienne said, ooh, the result would have been grue- SOme- L. "It would have been terrible, he said. "I don't think they would have scored three points. "On a scale of 100, we've played at 98 9 for most of the year.

Today was about an 89 with the first half the 70 range." At least it had a beat he could dance to.
