An Indian summer afternoon of what almost was pure fiction for the University of Missouri's football team turned to acrimony Saturday because of a concussion that knocked Nebraska's brilliant quarterback.

Turner Gill, out of the game in the second period. The bitter words and deeper feelings that boiled to the surface overshadowed a tremendous performance by the Tigers and stained a 23-19 comeback victory by the Cornhuskers. Of all the bruising, white-knuckle games the series between these teams has produced, Saturday's blockbuster was one of the best. For the Tigers, It was a day of high triumph and then despair. Mizzou appeared to have a firm grip on the game with 9 minutes left when Brad Burditt kicked a 51-yard field goal, the longest of his career, that gave the Tigers a 13-9 lead.

But the Cornhuskers, shut down repeatedly by a Mizzou defense that refused to bend, had the answers when they needed them. Playing without Gill for the entire second half, Nebraska rallied after Burditt's kick behind the running of I-back Mike Rozier and Bruce Mathison, a 6-foot-4 senior quarterback who was Gill's replacement. The play that the whole game seemingly focused on occurred with 2 minutes 12 seconds remaining In the second quarter. Gill handed off to fullback Mark Moravek on a trap play. Moravek dragged three Tigers defenders with him to the Mizzou 22-yard line, but It was what was happening back at the 32 that caught the attention of those in the crowd of 76,406 who saw it.

Missouri defensive tackle Randy Jostes, a senior from Omaha, of all places, broke through and drilled Gill with a forearm. As Gill lay crumpled on the AstroTurf, Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne angrily Jumped up screaming, "Cheap shot! You call that a cheap shot, you (bleep). Say It gain!" The two men, separated by a rope, stood five feet apart for a moment staring at each other but neither saying anything. Just then, Jim Donnan, one of Powers' assistant coaches, grabbed Powers and hustled him back inside. As the fan walked away he looked back over his shoulder and yelled, "Lot of class, Powers!" Mathison engineered a long fourth-quarter drive that produced the go-ahead touchdown and then ran for an Insurance score a little more than 2 minutes later.

Rozier, who had been doubtful because of a hip injury, rushed for 139 yards on 17 carries and had two key runs on the late scoring drive. "Our team showed a lot of class and courage," Osborne said. "There was no panic on the sidelines. Things looked retry bleak with Turner out and our acks hurting. Sometimes you have to win games in the fourth quarter." Rozier entered the game early In the second quarter when starting I-back Roger Craig re-injured an ankle.

"I've never seen a player like Mike Rozier," Osborne said. "He couldn't even get into a three-point stance. He was hurting so much he couldn't even bend over. It was a tremendous effort. "I'm really proud of the team.

It was our finest win of the year." Powers also praised Rozier, who did not practice until Thursday. "Rozier ran very well today," Powers said. "The guy can play with some pain. He Is the difference. "Nebraska has a great football team.

They came back when they had to." Nebraska fullback Mark Schellen, also a reserve, scored on a 1-yard run with 4:46 left In the game, capping a 79-yard, 1-play drive that wiped out a 13-9 Missouri lead. Less than a minute later, Nebraska See MIZZOU, Page 7 and down and pointed to the spot on the field where the hit was made. Gill was assisted to the Huskers' bench, where he spent the rest of the half with his head in his hands and an Ice bag on his neck. At halftime, the injury was diagnosed as a slight concussion. The Tigers, leading by 7-6 when they returned to the field for the third quarter, were greeted with a chorus of boos.

After the game, as the Missouri team was filing Into the Memorial Stadium corridor on its way to the dressing room, a Nebraska fan charged toward Mizzou Coach Warren Powers, yelling, "Cheap shot, Powers! Cheap shot!" Powers turned, and then barged in the direction of the startled fan, AP Despite pressure from Nebraska's Mike Knox (44) Missouri gets off a pass Saturday.

Freshman tailback Marcus Dupree scored touchdowns on a 30-yard run and a two-yard dive Saturday in leading Oklahoma to a 27-9 college football victory over cross-state rival Oklahoma State. Dupree rushed for 83 yards in his first start in Oklahoma's multi-faceted backfield.

His 30-yard TD came on a sweep around right end in the first quarter, and his second touchdown came with 9 seconds remaining in the third. Oklahoma State's Ernest Anderson, who had been leading the nation in rushing with an average of 208 yards per game, was held by the, Oklahoma defense to 59 yards, with 34 of them coming in the first half. The Sooners defense also kept Oklahoma State, 0-1-2 in the Big Eight and 1-3-2 overall, from scoring a touchdown as the Cowboys got all their points on field goals by sophomore Larry Roach. Roach narrowed Oklahoma's lead to 6-3 early in the second period, but the Sooners came back on their next possession to score a touchdown that lifted them to 13-3 at the half.

The call went to Bass, who already had made good on four field goals, including a 44-yarder earlier in the final 3uarter. Bass survived a series of elays, then boomed the game-winner as he tied a Big Ten record for most field goals in a game. "I thought it was right down the middle," Bass said of his clutch kick, "That kick was going to make it whether or not there was any wind. You've got to be able to do it as if it's a habit." Bass' other field goals were from 19, 21 and 30 yards. "He said, 'Give me a shot at anything under White said of the frantic final seconds.

"I was afraid to look." Bass said it helped him when Wisconsin called timeout with three seconds left "I sort of liked that," he said. "I was calming myself down and getting ready to go." The Illini still were shaking their heads about the Wisconsin flea-flicker that nearly cost them the game. "We didn't know what happened," said defensive back Craig Swoope. "It came out of the blue sky. We never thought they'd try a trick play like that.

"Ithought the play was over. Then 1 saw him pick It up and throw It deep, and I thought, 'Oh, that's the The Illini weren't the only ones taken by surprise. "I'd never seen It before," said Wisconsin linebacker Kyle Borland. "The defense and offense practice at different ends. I was shocked.

But I thought It was great." Eason didn't have time to give the play much thought. The Illini offense had only 52 seconds with which to work. "Tony took over and controlled everything and was very calm," said wide receiver Oliver Williams. "Tony put a straight face on, buttoned his chin strap and said, 'Let's go out there and catch some passes and get the Job Compiled From News Services MADISON, Wis. It wasn't that the Wisconsin Badgers didn't perform another miracle Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.

It was just that Illinois performed a better one. Wisconsin had won its last four games with the help of good fortune in the closing minutes, and they pulled another rabbit out of the hat Saturday against the Illini when they took a 28-26 lead with a touchdown on a 40-yard, razzle-dazzle play with 52 seconds left in the game. But the Badgers defense was out of miracles. Quarterback Tony Eason guided the Illini to the Wisconsin 29-yard line In five plays, and Mike Bass kicked a 46-yard field goal as time ran out, giving Illinois a 29-28 football victory. "I can't remember a victory that felt better," said Illinois Coach Mike White, shouting to be heard In the Illini locker room.

The victory gave Illinois a 6-2 record overall and 5-1 in the Big Ten Conference. Michigan leads the league with a 5-0 mark. The Badgers fell to 4-3 and 3-2. Illinois trailed, 20-9, In the third quarter, but rallied and held a 26-20 lead with two minutes to play. The advantage was reduced to 26-22 when Illinois punter Chris Sigoumey took an intentional safety by running out of the end zone.

Wisconsin drove into Illini territory after the free kick, and on a second-down play from the 40, the Illini fell for a sucker play. Here's how the play unfolded: Quarterback Randy Wright stepped back and fred lateral pass to wide receiver 'Al Toon. intentionally underthrown pass skipped off the artiflcal turf and into the hands of Toon, who turned and fired a strike to tight end Jeff Nault, who caught the ball Inside the Illinois five-yard line and went over for a touchdown.

Wright said that the Badgers had begun using the play this week and that It had worked every time they practiced It. It worked again Saturday, but the extra-point attempt didn't.

Wendell Gladem's kick hit the upright, and the Badgers' lead was only 28-26. Illinois quarterback Tony Eason hurried his team downfleld, narrowly escaping an Interception by Wisconsin's Jody O'Donnell. On the next play, Eason, who completed 37 of 51 passes for a career-high 479 yards, connected with tight end Tim Brewster on a yard pass to the Wisconsin 29. The clock stalemated beyond immediate solution. Neither side would predict when they would resume trying to reach a settlement in the strike that has called off 70 NFL games, and almost certainly will wipe out games tor next weekend.

Jack Donlan, executive director of the NFL Management Council, said he sees no reason to resume talks unless the union changes its stand. "It makes no sense to get back when we are hung up on conceptual issues," Donlan said. "Some day this strike will be settled, but we won't go back without a change in stance by the union." Ed Garvey, executive director of the NFLPA, said, he expects talks to resume as soon as the NFL owners realize the solidarity of the union.

Mediator Sam Kagel, realizing both sides are unalterably solid in their stances on the crucial wage issue, Saturday recessed indefinitely the, talks aimed at ending the pro football strike, now in its 34th day.

Kagel, 73, headed back to his San Francisco home after trying unsuccessfully to get either the striking National Football League Players Association or the firmly-entrenched owners to alter their positions. He said he is available, should both sides desire his services further. "This is the time for the parties to re-examinine and reassess their positions on these very complex issues," said the mediator.

After a hitless first four games in the World Series, he batted in eight runs In the last three. George Hendrlck, A minus The Cardinals' only power threat, Hendrick batted in 104 runs. He was forced into swinging at many non-strikes because there was no threat behind him for most of the season. Mike Ramsey, A minus How can a non-starting, .230 hitter be graded so high? The rationale is that Ramsey played a standout month In place of Injured second baseman Tom Herr early in the season and played 14 errorless games In place of shortstop Ozzle Smith In the heat of the pennant race. Doug Balr, plus Balr played the perfect foil for Sutter, holding teams close in the early innings or saving games when Sutter needed a rest.

John Stuper, plus In the clamor surrounding the climactic seventh game of the Series, Sniper's masterful sixth game should not be forgotten. Sure, the Cardinals scored 13 runs In the game.

He made just 11 errors at third base.

Jeff Lahtl, minus Lahti twice pitched six innings of relief to gain victories. He impressed Herzog and his staff with his aggressiveness. Gent Tenace, plus Despite a three-for-48 slump with which he closed the season, Tenace was of considerable value. Half of bis 32 bits were for extra bases, including seven home runs.
