Mizzou Loses to Cornhuskers a ajf By Jack January, a Post-Dispatch Photographer Pointed Protest Missouri coach Dan Devine lectures an official after his Tigers dropped a 16-14 decision to Nebraska at Columbia yesterday. Devine stormed onto the field to protest a call on Nebraska's interception of a pass that short-circuited a last-ditch Missouri comeback effort. Georgia Scrambles Past N.C CHAPEL HILL, N.C, Oct.

30 (UPI) Georgia's Lynn Hughes, a defensive specialist called to quarterback duty in a desperate gamble, scored three touchdowns in a frantic final quarter today as the Bulldogs beat North Carolina, 47-35. Hughes plunged for three short touchdowns, and Preston Ridle-huber dashed 31 yards for another as Georgia scored 26 points in the final frame. Hughes had passed for a touchdown in the first half. North Carolina had led 35-21 at the start of the final period. Hughes, who usually plays defensive, safety shared the signal-calling with Ridlehuber because of the injury to regular quarterback Kirby Moore.

Hughes scored twice on one -yard quarterback keepers and again on a four-yard sweep. Hughes's second touchdown left Georgia one point behind with only four minutes left. But Georgia tried an on-side kick-off that worked with reserve Billy Cloer rolling on the ball. That set the stage for the twisting 31 yard scoring run by Ridlehuber.

"I just found out about it before the game." Devine didn't seem to want to go on, but then he straightened and said, "Let me add one thing. Even if the penalty wasn't called, you wouldn't know what would happen. Nebraska might have got a touchdown instead. "I'll tell you, Nebraska is even better than I thought. And our boys made the finest effort of any team I've had since I started coaching.

"We made some technical mistakes. I'm sure Nebraska did, too. I don't blame our boys. If it's anybody's fault, it's mine." Devine said that a big factor in the game was that after the early going when Tiger quarterback Gary Lane danced gayly wide and threw effectively Nebraska was able to hold more strongly on the outside. And as to a turning point in the game, he said, with a wry smile, "it came when Harry Wilson decided to enroll at Wilson's 37-yard run to the Tiger one set up Nebraska's first touchdown.

Actually, his fine play he gained only two yards fewer than quarterback Fred Duda, who had a game-leading no surprise. Just ask Arkansas. He was a big thorn in the Razorbacks' side in the Cornhuskers' Cotton Bowl loss last New Year's day. "Nebraska on the whole is a talented and poised team," De-vine continued. "Look at the way they came back." Said Nebraska coach Bob Devaney, "we couldn't panic.

We've scored a lot of points this year and I couldn't believe we were beaten down 14-0 with three quarters left. However, I don't want to start many games with that handicap. Missouri just hurt our pride." Cornhusker defensive guard Mike Kennedy chipped in: "The coach didn't say much to us at halftime. We just knew we could get the job done and we did." Devine felt that the two long runs that set up Nebraska's two second-quarter touchdowns were major factors in stiffling Miz-zou's early momentum and sparking the Cornhuskers. "They didn't use any new plays on us," the M.U.

coach said. "They've used those same plays all year. And last year and the year before. They just executed them well. "And their defense was something that really hurt us.

But we played them pretty well in the second half. That interception of Lane's pass when he was throwing from their 28 and we still were ahead in the third quarter was the final straw. "I called that play. A bit more loft on the pass might have given us a completion. But that Marv 14 plays to score again as Duda twice hit with money calls.

Facing third and seven on his 26, he faked a pitchout, cut inside right end and got 13 yards. Then with fourth and a yard at the Missouri 40 and the Tigers pinching in what amounted to a goal-line defense, the Nebraska quarterback slickered 'em something frightfully. He faked a dive-tackle handoff to Solich, who carried out the fake so earnestly inside tackle that the defensive halfback on the right side was fooled. As a result, when Duda slipped laterally past the crashing end and linebacker, he turned the corner with not a blessed black-shirted soul in sight. The apparent fourth down short-yardage plunge became a 38-yard whopper to the 2-yard line, from where Tatman slanted over right tackle.

With 1:35 left in the period, Wachholtz then scuffed the extra-point try that didn't seem big at the time, but which loomed large as the defenses took over in the second half. With Nebraska dominating. but not enough, a 67-yard punt by West with the wind rocked the Cornhuskers back the tn'rd period. And when Ken Boston intercepted Duda's pass and returned seven to the vis- itors' 29, the Tigers had a chance. However, two plays later Lane's throw on the run was picked off by Nebraska's Marv Mueller at the 9 and returned to the 34.

Nebraska had the wind as the fourth-quarter began. After the Cornhuskers fielded a punt at their 35 and returned five, they used seven running plays to reach the critical point at which the unnamed and unidentified Missouri player used the word to which the linesman took exception. The penalty to the 18 was followed by three running plays and the field goal by Wachholtz, who insisted afterward, no fooling, that the Tigers nearly blocked it. That's the story of their tense recent rivalry with close calls, no embarrassment, but no cigar, either. Rollie Dotsch, Tiger assistant coach, was more taken by Nebraska's big backs than by Duda's performance.

"Often they had three 215-pounders in there at one time the kind you can't push back. Even when you hit them hard they still fell forward for four or five yards. That enabled them to control the ball too much and that killed us. You don't let a team like that keep snipping at you and expect to win." Dotsch then said, "and whenever Nebraska had third and eight or third and 10, Duda was able to come through with the big play and keep 'em going." Equally killing was a fourth-and-one play by Duda at the Missouri 39 late in the second quarter. It resulted in a 38-yard gain by Duda that set up the second Nebraska TD.

"It was an option left, faking to our fullback (Frank Duda said. "He made a heckuva fake and that drew their linebackers and ends inside. I was able to dive outside and go." Sadly appended Mizzou's Charley Brown, the Big Eight's leading rusher who was held to 25 yards today, "they are not overrated. They're real good."

"Yes, I made the call because I thought he might be a little green. I wish I hadn't thought that now." Then, he said softly, "I think Nebraska can be very proud of its team, just as we can be. Nebraska bounced back real well-two well." Johnny Roland, Mizzou's fine defensive back and an All-America candidate who played Nebraska's All-America end candidate Freeman White to a virtual standoff today, was impressed by White and Nebraska's size and speed. As to the Tigers' early lead, Roland said, "We didn't know if they would fold. They'd never been behind all year, so we didn't know what to expect.

They came back and that's the mark of a great team." Carl Reese, the Tiger fullback who ran effectively, added, "one thing about them, they didn't hit as hard as some teams, but there was a mass of them there waiting for you every time." Offensively, quarterback Fred Duda was a problem, as was Lane to Nebraska. "Lane played a tremendous game," said Devaney. It seemed as if anytime he wanted to, he could run for big yardage."

And a record overflow Memorial Stadium crowd of see people on the rocks? roared in approval of the fired-up Tigers' thrusts. Nebraska, first in the nation In rushing and first in total offense, must be at least tied for the tops In poise, too, and the powerful Huskers declined to panic. By halftime, Nebraska had pulled within one point of Missouri, and only the most optimistic could have expected the Tigers to deny the champions a touchdown in the second half. That they did, of course, but they couldn't keep the Huskers off the scoreboard. And that they would have had to do because they mounted virtually no offense of their own the last three quarters against the muscular men of the Central Plains and points east and west, north and south.

Scoring in the first quarter on drives of 80 and 51 yards the first two times they handled the ball, the Tigers gained 182 yards to 177 in the first half. They blended passing with running in a manner seldom seen at 01' Mizzou recently. However, after controlling the ball for 22 plays to only 11 in the first period, the Tigers couldn't withstand the bruising force of the hard-hitting Huskers. Nebraska, finishing with 73 offensive plays to Missouri's 60, wound up with six more yards than its No. 1 rushing average (266).

Although the Tigers chis-'eled, away nearly 100 yards (318) from, the visitors' nation-leading average of total offense (415.7), they couldn't move against the monsters of the Midlands in their, limited second-half opportunities. "Missouri gained only 61 yards the half, just 16 passing.
