He has scored seven touchdowns in the last two games.

The victory gave the Buskers a 9-0-1 record this season and extended their unbeaten streak to 17 games. They are in the Big Eight, with Oklahoma remaining on the schedule next week. But the Sooners, with a 4-1 league mark, could gain a share of the title by winning that one here and then beating Oklahoma State the following week. K-State, 2-4 in the league, stifl could tie for second place. i pi mi iistiiiillj, FROM PAGE ONE opinion on the subject was divided.

Back judge Wayne 1 within five yards of the play, made no move toward his flag and Montgomery leaped to his feet, the picture of outraged youth. He charged Cooley and gave him a round-house, open-handed wrack on the back, the blow was of sufficient force to snap 1 's head back and dislodge his hat. Cooley seemed even more angry than Montgomery as he ordered the running back from the field. K-State coach Vince Gibson said Montgomery did not mean it as a blow and was the victim of too much excitement when he attempted to attract Cooley's attention. "Mike's a good kid," said the coach.

Gibson was true to his Big Eight connections and called Nebraska "the best team in the country." He said the loss of Montgomery and the absence of linebacker Oscar Gibson, who didn't dress because of a knee injury, were factors contributing to K-State's poor performance. "I won't comment about the call on the pass to Montgomery until I've seen the film," he said. Huskers Can Have Pick: Orange, Cotton, Sugar NEW YORK "KNICKS" with Bill Bradley and Wilis Reed VS.

Cliff Speegle, head of the Cotton Bowl delegation here, and Jim Llewellyn, leader of the Orange Bowl contingent, said they would remain overnight to await Devaney 's pleasure. Joe Katz and Cliff Kern represented the Sugar Bowl, but were accorded little chance of bagging the Corn-huskers.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association rule on bowl announcements permits a team to announce its intentions a week before its final game.

However, considering the fact that 01' Mizzou rushed for 328 yards, it's this impression that the Tigers also contrived to take themselves out of scoring chances by turning too soon to their erratic passing attack or to other fancy offensive frills. Fumbles hurt, too, but a fumble also helped and the Tigers couldn't take advantage of a pass interception close in. As part of the what's-next in a snakepit season, a penalty for illegal substitution sending in three players when only two were permitted in an Iowa State kicking situation permitted the Cyclones to keep the ball and sweep to a touchdown. The fact is, running 97 plays to 69, gaining 27 first downs to 19 and 461 total yardage to 384, the Tigers dominated so much that the frustrating result is the kind guaranteed to bring second-guessing from the grandstand coaches and pressbox quarterbacks. The ease with which Missouri blew State out of a questionable rushing defense Ames had lost five straight Big Eight games-made it much more unlikely that the Tigers could be held to three touchdowns than that the visitors would score four themselves.

For instance, just after Shoemake's long field goal on the game's first possession, the Tigers drove impressively 71 yards for a touchdown in eight plays, all of them on the ground. Big Jim Harrison, who would power for 123 yards in 20 carries, swept strongly behind good blocking with runs of 13 and 17 yards. Bill Mauser, who ran 23 times for 106 yards, slant-' ed off right tackle and rolled the last 23 yards to score. Jack Bastable, the sophomore kicking specialist, did extremely well with his first prolonged playing opportunity, gaining 94 yards in 16 carries. But his kicking what little he did again was spotty.

Fact is, the Tigers needed to punt just once. Bastable hit the left upright with his first conversion attempt and later was far off when he attempted to cleave the wind with a field-goal try. Maybe, looking back, the Tigers scored too easily too early. Two minutes after their first touchdown, they led, 12-3. When Carlson was hit for a loss by John Cowan and fumbled, Mike Fink recovered at the 21.

With third and two at the 13, Harrison, breaking tackles, bulled to the 2. Chuck Roper sneaked over from the 1, but Mel Cray then dropped his pass on a two-point conversion attempt. Here, frustration began to set in like the cold weather. Fink, fumbling a punt against the wind, lost possession at the Iowa State 41. Next time, again sticking to the ground, Roper drove the Tigers from their 15 to the Iowa State 16, where Booker Washington fumbled the away on first down.

Three plays later, when Iowa State prepared to punt from its 32, the Mizzou penalty for illegal substitution gave the visitors first down. They knew what to do with a break when they got one. Carlson passed 13 to Jock Johnson, 29 to Lor- enz and then used the option, as mentioned earlier, to score on the ground against team which was supposed to be defensively tough against the rush, but vulnerable through the air. To open the second quarter, Bastable's 32-yard run and a major penalty put Missouri on the Iowa State 23. A second-down screen pass got only two yards when Bastable was backed out of bounds before streaking down the sidelines.

Roper got only two on a keeper and his fourth-down pass failed, giving Iowa State the ball on its 16. Minutes later when Carlson, rushed, threw an off-balance pass, Nip Weisenfels intercepted and returned 8 to the 17. A 1 1 the Missouri running game had been robust, the first play was a pass. Roper missed. A sweep by Bastable got only 2.

Another pass missed and so did the against-the-wind field-goal attempt. Wait, that's not all. There was another, chance in a second quarter which, amazingly, was scoreless. Twe Tigers' defense threw back Iowa State and forced a short punt to the Ames 35. With third and three, Harrison plunged for 7.

On fourth and four, Roper passed 8 to John Henley for first and goal at the 8. How now? Well, Mauser belted inside for 3, but then Roper, rolling to pass, couldn't seem to find a receiver and took a six-yard loss.

So a team that had first and goal at the 8 was fourth and 18 when Roper pitched one over the middle to the 2-yard line, where Gray muffed it.

To start the second half against the wind, coach Johnny Majors of Iowa State switched to Amundson at quarterback, fearful Carlson's passing might get the Cyclones in trouble here as it had in other games recently. The strategy was perfect. Although the Ames kickoff-return man slipped to one knee at the 5, Iowa State went 95 yards just like that as Amundson peeled off 77 to score on an option off tackle to the left. "They say," said the Amundson who explores for offensive openings rather than for uncharted territories, "that Missouri's defense is hard to run against, but with an eight-man front, if a back breaks initially, you've got i -o spaces." Roald couldn't have put it in any better than George, who put the ball down over the goal-line. And when Bastable fumbled two plays later at the Tigers' 41, Ames was back in business.

Amundson kept again, this time to the right, but for only 14 yards, the piker. And then when he had third and 13 at the 17, Lorenz made a great diving catch of a low line pass at the 1-yard line. When Amundson sneaked over on his third try, Missouri trailed by 12 points with 5:18 gone in the third period, but the Tigers then made it look almost as easy as they had at the outset, though this time they used two passes in a 10-play drive of 72 yards. The passes were third-and-four for 15 to Ty Walls from the Missouri 45 and immediately thereafter to Gray for 22. From the 11, Harrison burst over for a touchdown completely untouched.

Before the quarter ended, the Tigers were moving again. Aided by a major penalty, they surged from their 42 to the Iowa State 23. There, on third and eight, Roper passed 7 yards to Mauser. Harrison plunged for first down on the 15. Familiar scoring territory? Sure, and trouble again.

Missouri had third-and-three at the 8 on the first play of the fourth quarter when Harrison fumbled. Now, Stowe came through with a great grab of Amundson's third-and-10 pass out of the end zone and an Amundson keeper, followed by a Once the Tigers got possession, you see, they lateral to Mike Palmer, gained 36 yards, easing the problem. could go to a point as they did when, aided by a 15-yard penalty a third-down screen pass to Bastable, they reached the Iowa State 36. Another third-down pass, this one to Walls, got to the 24. With third-and-five at the 19, the Tigers tried a halfback running pass, but Bastable was rushed so that he had to throw hurriedly.

Henley dropped a fourth-down pass and the ball went over at the 19. Once more the Tigers came back, getting first down at the Iowa State 29 as Roper sneaked for two yards. Afirst-dewn pass failed, a draw play lost and then linebacker Mark Withrow came through with Iowa State's first pass interception in six games. As Majors viewed it, Iowa State still needed offense to help the defense and they got it when Stowe maneuvered adroitly to demand and command pass interference Amundson's long pass out of danger. That did it.

That and the 33-yard run by which Amundson, exploring like Amundsen, found his way once more into the Missouri end zone, saddling Devine with the first losing season in his 16 years as a head coach and giving Iowa State the victory that had eluded the Cyclones here since coach Majors was a pre-kindergarten kid in Tennessee.
