30 -Someone made the mistake of using Pier Six language in a football equivalent of a Pier Six brawl today. And unbeaten Nebraska, proving it could come from behind as well as win going away, beat Missouri, 16-14. A final-period field goal by the Cornhuskers' Larry Wachholtz decided the game that kept alive second ranked Nebraska's chances of a National Championship in addition to an almost certain third straight Big Eight title and bowl bid. Unfortunately, though the husky Huskers obviously were physically superior, a critical officiating call took an edge off Nebraska's victory for the third straight time in a tense rivalry between two former coaching assistants et Michigan State.

Two years ago here, a mix-up on a ruling on a personal foul committed1 with the ball in the air gave Nebraska possession at a time Missouri was striving to overtake the Cornhuskers in a game won by Nebraska, 13-12. At Lincoln last fall, movies showed that quarterback Gary Lane, circling to pass, had been pushed into his end zone when a controversial safety broke a scoreless tie in the fourth quarter and led to an ultimate Nebraska victory, 9-0.

Archibald The Hawks came alive after a slow start, but the Detroit Pistons never did, and St. Louis won the National Basketball Association game at Kiel Auditorium last 122-95. There was little semblance to the qurdwnoving attack of their previous game the victory over the Boston Celtics a week beforeas the Hawks groped for baskets in the early going. Their first field goal came after ne three minutes had elapsed and it was on a goal-tending call after a shot of Cliff Hagan." Richie Guerin shouted edly for his club to get running and when St. Louis trailed by an 8-4 score with four minutes the coach called a timeout.

On the play that followed the time-out, though, the Hawks were charged with traveling and again failed to get their shot. Guerin put himself into the game in place of Jeff Mullins with 6:32 to go in the period and the score 8-6 in Detroit's favor. Richie immediately drove for the basket, scored and was fouled and the Hawks had the lead. Still the attack boggled and Guerin himself was unable to score on several later drives for the basket. A last-second jumper by Guerin put the Hawks in front, 22-21, as the quarter ended.

The Hawks shot a mere .333, with six for 19 in the period. Center Zelmo Beaty suffered a fingernail cut on his right eye shortly after the second quarter 6tarted. He remained in the game, but interrupted the action a minute later to say he "couldn't see." Gene Tormohlen replaced him with the Hawks leading, 26-25. Tormohlen, seldom seen since his emergence from retirement this season, played an important part in the St. Louis offensive that got under way shortly after.

A hook shot by Tormohlen made it 33-30 and he was credited with assists on baskets shortly after by Bill Bridges and Guerin that made it 43-30. Dave DeBusschere scored a pair of baskets for Detroit at that point, but at the half the Hawks were in front, 55-43. The third quarter clearly belonged to the Hawks as the Piston defense put up only minimum effort. Mullins, back in the lineup, popped in five field goals and Beaty apparently recovered from his eye injury added another 10 points. As the fourth quarter began, the Hawks had an 85-65 lead.

Beaty sank three successive backets at the start of the final period and with nine minutes to go the Hawks had a 25-point lead and Guerin began sending in his reserves.

With the 76ers holding a 100-92 lead with nine minutes left, Greer poured in 10 points to the Royals' four.

The scoring burst put Philadelphia on top, 110-96. wo baskets later, Greer dumped in two more jump shots and fed Wilt Chamberlain with another score to put the gafe out of reach.

Griese handed off to Kuzniewski for two more and then faded to pass. He faded into oblivion.

Batchelder bear-hugged Griese and suddenly took off a-runnin' with the ball. The theft official, ly listed as a fumble recovery-was for 55 yards, and Bo, after missing two games because of a knee injury, puffed to the Purdue 25 before Griese brought him down from behind. Here it was that Custardo, who completed 14 of 21 passes for 158 yards compared to Griese's 14 of 28 for 177-bombed the Boilermakers out of business.

Devine seemed drained of By Ed Wilks Of the Post-Dispatch Staff CHAMPAIGN, Oct. 30-Illinois's sometimes maligned defense paired perfectly with another run for records by fullback Jim Grabowski here today as the Mini completed the collapse of Purdue's Rose Bowl hopes by smacking the Boilermakers, 21-0.

i. The Mini pursuit simply chased Purdue's remarkable quarterback, Bob Griese, into frustration on this bright and balmy afternoon at Memorial Stadium as the Orange and Blue climbed past .500 for the first time this football season. Such was the Illinois defensive rush that Griese, the nation's No. 2 passer and a do-it-all guy who was ranked No. 4 in total offense, was even chased to the bench, with senior stand-in Doug Holcomb the quarterback at one stage of the final period.

There were records a-plenty as Illinois, a three-point underdog, caught Purdue for a fourth-place tie in Big Ten standings with 2-2 conference record. The records were mainly Gra-bowski's. His ramminv runs, whether hitting Straight ahead or bending the corners with pitchouts, netted him a Big Ten career rushing record, plus an Illinois career total offense record, plus an Mini one-game high for carries. The Boilermakers had been ranked sixth and seventh in the wire service polls this past week, but Purdue was a tottering giant coming into this game after being beaten by Michigan State, 14-10, last weekend. And Grabowski, a rambler, proved the giant killer.

The Chicago senior carried 36 times for a 163-yard net that pushed his career rushing total to 2275 yards, the best three-year running gain accomplished by a Big Ten player. His pick-up today also gave him 2540 yards in total offense, cracking the Illinois career record of 2424 set by quarterback Tommy O'Connell In 1951-52. The 36 rusmes erased the rec- for six of his 22 career touchdowns. Quarterback Fred Custardo, whose long, daring pitchouts to Grabowski and halfback Sam Price set up Grabbo's slashing runs up the middle. Also bettered O'Connell's total offense record.

Custardo finished the day with a three-year total of 2480 and twice passed for touchdowns hitting halfback Ron Bess from the 3 for a 13-0 halftime lead and then knocking Purdue flat with a 25-yard bomb to end John Wright in the fourth period. That fourth-period TD, coming at a time when Purdue still was in the game, followed a finishing touch on a dandy day of defense by Mini end Bo Batchelder. As Illinois coach Pete Elliott commented later, "We got one of those days of superb efforts on the part of everyone," but Bach-elder was the kid whose effort was most distinctive. After intercepting both Griese and Holcomb and also regaining possession for the Mini on a fumble recovery after a short Illinois punt, Batchelder laid Grrese's frustation bare. Purdue, whose team rushing net was a minius-14 yards thanks Sophomore fullback Bob Apisa scored three touchdowns and 20 point; to tie an MSU one-game 'ecord.

Junior halfback Clint Jones scored twice, and quarterback Steve Juday picked the Wildcat defense apart, passing fo 126 yards and one ID. Northwestern stung the Spartan by marching 44 yards in nine pluys to score the first time ft had the ball. The TD came when sophomore quarterback Dennis Boothe fumbled iyn a rollout and Larry Gates recovered in tht end zone. But Michigan State rebounded, taking the ensuing kickuff ani out 57 yards in 13 plays. The payoff was a one yard plunge by Apisa.

MSU, unveiling a double-flank Win. 49-7 Spartan emotion. He talked slowly, sipping at a cup of water between words, after his Timers ihad dropped a heart-breaking 16-14 decision to undefeated Nebraska here today. The incident to which he referred was the critical personal-foul penalty against Missouri for allegedly directing profanity at an official. The penalty moved Nebraska into close range for its winning field goal.

Before commenting on the call, Devine paused for a seemingly endless time. "I don't know about the call," he finally said. "I haven't had a satisfactory explanation yet." Then he continued, "apparently it was something one our boys said. I'm not going to name him. But that call decided the game as much as any play on the field.

The boy told me he was disappointed he hadn't made a better tackle and made some comment to himself that obviously someone misinterrupted as being directed at them. I probably would have said something worse. "This is a game of emotions EAST LANSING, Oct. 30 (UPI) Top-ranked Michigan State bulled closer to the Big Ten football title and a Rose bid today by crushing Northwestern, 49-7.
