(UPI) Joe Washington scored two touchdowns and Oklahoma's stout defense held Missouri to only six first downs yesterday as the third-ranked Sooners took a giant stride toward the Big Eight football championship with a 31-3 victory. The Sooners, who won their seventh game against one tie, struck for two touchdowns in the last two minutes of the third quarter to put the game out of reach before a record Faurot Field crowd of 68,831. Washington completed a 57-yard, six-play drive with a 26-yard touchdown run, hitting off tackle and sprinting to the sidelines, to raise the score to 16-3 with 1:58 left in the third quarter. When Missouri quarterback John Cherry fumbled seconds later, linebacker David Smith recovered at the Oklahoma 33.

On third down from the 37, quarterback Steve Davis flipped a pass to Billy Brooks, who stepped out of the grasp of Ken Downing and outran everyone else on a 63-yard scoring play. Early in the fourth quarter, Missouri lost another fumble and Lucious Selmon recovered, setting up Rick Fulcher's second field goal, a 30-yarder. Washington made the score even more lopsided when he dashed 80 yards on a punt return with 5:51 to play. Waymon Clark led the Sooners' potent ground attack with 153 yards on 26 carries. Washington added 107 yards on 13 carries.

The loss dropped Missouri's record to 7-2 while the victory gave Oklahoma a 1 to-game lead on the field in the Big Eight Conference. ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -Ed Shuttlesworth's one-yard touchdown plunge after Michigan recovered an Illinois fumble in the second quarter offset a surprising early 6-0 Illini lead and the fourth-ranked Wolverines went on to beat Illinois 21-6 in Big Ten football action yesterday. Michigan had not been behind this season until Illini kicking star Dan Beaver kicked a 41-yard field goal at 1:08 of the second quarter. Beaver stretched the Illinois lead to 6-0 with a 29-yard field goal later in the quarter.

Shuttlesworth's touchdown came four plays after Michigan end Walt Williamson recovered a fumble by Illinois' Steve Greene at the Illini 36. The Wolverines led only 7-6 at halftime but moved 67 yards in eight plays with the second half opening kickoff to score on a 33-yard run by tailback Gil Chapman. Illinois recovered Michigan fumbles at the Wolverine 29 and 25 but failed to take advantage of the opportunities. Michigan's Carl Russ intercepted a Jeff Hollenbach pass to thwart one chance and a clipping penalty put the Illini out of field goal range the other time.

Early in the second quarter Ohio State drove 71 yards in nine plays, sparked by a 34-yard dash by Griffin, with Elia this time going in from the two. COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPI) Safety Neal Colzie ran a punt back 43 yards for a touchdown and set up another with a 46-yard return and sophomore sensation Archie Griffin rushed for 130 yards in 21 carries to lead top ranked Ohio State over Michigan State, 35-0, yesterday.

Fullback Bruce Elia scored three of the Buckeye touchdowns on short yardage bursts and freshman Pete Johnson, his understudy, got the other with a two-yard plunge. The Ohio State defense, which has now allowed only 20 points in eight games tops in the nation didn't allow the Spartans past their own 37-yard line until midway in the fourth period. The Spartans' longest march of the day carried from their 34 to the Ohio State 35 where quarterback Tyrone Willingham was dropped four yards short of a first down on a fourth and seven situation. An 18-yard punt return by Colzie, who had 170 yards in eight returns for the day, gave the Buckeyes good field position on the Spartan 48 early in the first quarter.

(AP) -Rick Mudge's fumble recovery with 21 seconds remaining blunted a Colorado bid yesterday and preserved a 17-15 Kansas victory in a Big Eight Conference game. The Kansas defense, which earlier forced four Colorado turnovers, thwarted the Buffaloes late drive at the 24-yard line when Mudge recovered a fumble by Billy Waddy. Colorado had marched 70 yards before losing the ball for the final time. Only a slim crowd of 34,000 watched the game in Memorial Stadium. The Kansas defenders grudgingly yielded 91 and 89-yard Colorado touchdown drives in the second and fourth quarters.

(UPI) Quarterback Dave Humm ran for one touchdown and passed for two in Nebraska's 31-7 Big Eight football victory over Iowa State. The victory kept the Cornhuskers' slim hopes for the conference title alive and enhanced their chances for a major bowl bid.

Nebraska struck twice for touchdowns in the first six minutes of play. Each time, a 21-yard scoring march was set up by a recovery of an Iowa State fumble. A 49-yard field goal by Rich Sanger boosted Nebraska's lead to 17-0 early in the second period. And a 67-yard pass play from Humm to end Frosty Anderson moved the margin to 24-0 two minutes before the end of the half. Iowa State, which never threatened in the first half, scored early in the third quarter on a 58-yard drive after Barry Hill of Delray Beach picked off a Humm pass at the Cyclone 42.

MADISON, Wis.
