It was extremely unusual in that there were only three field goals and a safety scored. Besides that, things happened to us today that haven't happened in previous games things like getting a 15-yard penalty for kicking the ball (after an incom-plete pass), jumping off sides and being in motion." He added: "Missouri scrapped the heck out of us." Well, join the crowd, coach Majors. Ara- Perseghian and Eddie Crowder know just how you feel. Onofrio up things this way: "We, have a very young squad and right from spring practice they accepted every challenge we gave them. The Notre Dame victory had to give us a lot of fuel for the rest of the season that and the Colorado game.

This team has a lot of patience and refused to be beaten. "That's how you measure a football team not only on ability, but also on heart."

They got the invitation Saturday after downing the Iowa State Cyclones, 6-5, highlighting a remarkable turnabout football season. What attracted the Fiesta Bowl to the University of Missouri? "I love Cinderella," said John Reid, executive director of the bowl.

Cinderella was the role assumed by Mizzou after the 62-0 blitz at Nebraska. The Tigers bounced back with stunning upsets of Notre Dame and. Colorado, played well in a loss to Tklahoma, then downed Iowa State on Greg Hill's dramatic field goal. After Saturday's victory, the Tigers had two choices the Fiesta on Dec. 23 in Tempe, or the Liberty Bowl on Dec.

Athletic director Mel Shee-han said one factor that worked against die Memphis game was a conflict with MU final examinations.

That came late in the third quarter while Link Cherry's pass to Link's left. The play carried to the Cy- clones' 27 with 3:19 left and Missouri permitted the clock to wind down.

Suddenly, the fullback play opened. Iowa State was looking for a pass or wide play, but Johnson darted inside for nine yards and then for eight. The Tigers had first and goal now at the 10, and the shivering crowd was warm with expectations. Missouri played it nice and cozy. Johnson got two yards, then two more and Cherry kept for a yard, centering the ball squarely in front of the uprights at the 5.

As mentioned, Iowa State called time at this point to put the pressure on Hill, the hometown Columbia junior who saw a decisive field-goal attempt miss by a whisker early in his sophomore year out at the Air Force Academy and hasn't missed in the clutch since. When Greg played king of the Hill with his kick, toppling twelfth-ranked Iowa State the way the Tigers had upset high-riding Notre Dame and Colorado, the turnabout for the season was as dramatic as for this afternoon and almost as unusual as the 6-5 score.

Maybe "By the Time I Get to Phoenix Fast-Starting Oregon Whips Oregon State CORVALLIS, Nov. 18 (AP) Donny Reynolds bolted down to five seconds and took time out.

Hill's field-goal tied the score at the malf, 3-3, but Majors was so convinved his defense could contain Missouri that the Cyclones took the wind from the north, rather than the with their choice of options at the start of the third period. The fact is, Missouri passed midfield just twice in the second half, losing the ball once on the Tigers' only turnover, an interception shortly after the safety had given Iowa State the lead by the improbable score of 5-3 with 2:42 left in the third period. The second time 01' Mizzou got past the 50 under its own power in the second half the game was in the balance. With 6: 17 left, halfback Gary Anderson intercepted Amund-son's pass at the Tigers' 23, A motion penalty gave the home side a 'miserable start, but Cherry passed 13 to right end Don Muse, and Don Johnson barely wiggled for a first down at the 34.

After that catch, Johnson who along with Ray Bybee had found few openings for their fullback slants on this cold aft II FROM PAGE ONE est score for a Missouri football game since 1923 when a lean junior halfback named Don Faurot declined to give a safety to Kansas State because he'd fumbled a low snap in the end zone against Iowa State a couple of weeks earlier. Capt.

Art Bend, father of governor-elect Christopher (Kit) Bond, then yielded the safety by which Missouri escaped with a muddy-field victory. The score: 4-2. The odd combination of field goal and safety is so unusual that the last time either side scored five points in a Missouri game came in a 7-5 loss to K-State in 1921. The most recent Big Eight conference contest in which there were no touchdowns was a 3-3 tie between Kansas and Kansas State six years ago. The safety which loomed large this grim afternoon came when it looked as if the entire white-shirted Iowa State line burst through to block a punt late in the third period.

The scrimmage line was the 20 and Jack Bfistable was kicking from about the 6-yard line. The ball rebounded back over both the goal line and end line for an automatic two points. Missouri, hampered by a holding penalty in a game-opening drive, was unable to move again except for one quick strike after J. L. Doak shook loose a fumble by Mike Strachan, the hardworking Iowa State I-formation tailback who is the Big Eight's leading rusher with 100 or more yards on the ground.

Mizzou co-captain Dan Mc-Donough recovered Strachan's fumble on the Iowa State 42. John Cherry screen-passed 11 to Chuck Link and later pitched out to Link for a 15-yard sprint around left end. But from first down at the six, Missouri could get no closer than the 3-yard line, its fullback play off the Wishbone closed down almost completely. Here, as Hill missed with a fourth-down field-goal try, Iowa State was offsides and the ball was advanced to the l'2 Coach Onofrio, a conservative man, chose to go for the touchdown, to the delight of the crowd, but Ray Bybee was stacked up on the fullback shot up the middle. Now, Amundson showed his great individual ability.

The 6-3, 220-pound twinkletoes in white shoes burst up center for nine yards on a quarterback sneak and soon raced 65 yards on a keeper to the left. He was overhauled by Mizzou's Mike Fink at the 19. The pursuit paid off because when Missouri's defense rose up, the- Cyclones were forced to settle for three points. Goed-jens' fourth-and-nine kick covered 35 yards. Thereafter it seemed a game of Bastable fielding high snaps from center like the smooth baseball player he is and kicking on the run, like the soccer player he used to be in St.

Louis. With fourth and seven at the Missouri l.t, Goedjen missed with a 30-yard field-gnal try just before the Tigers made their drive with 2:43 in the first half. Bybee Burst 18 over center. Cherry, connecting on 10 of 17 passes for 73 yards, hit Bastable on third-and-seven for 19 then passed to Link for 24. After a 6-yard pass over the middle, Bybee plunged one and the Tigers set up the field goal.
