Baker stops Ottawa, 38-30 OTTAWA (UPI) Taylor Gill rushed 29 times for 130 yards and two touchdowns while Ben Reed added another 178 yards on the ground Saturday to give Baker a 38-30 triumph over Ottawa. The win gives Baker an 8-2 overall record and third place in the Heart of America conference with a 6-2 record. Ottawa, 5-4-1 overall and 4-4 in conference play, is in fifth in the HOA. After the two teams traded touchdowns into the second period for a 14-14 tie, Baker scored 10 straight ponts for a 24-14 halftime bulge with Gill's first touchdown and a 21-yard field goal by Joe Boeh giving the Wildcats the edge.

(UPI) Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne was disappointed with the Cornhuskers' play in the first half, but credited a resilient fourth-quarter defense with the 31-7 Big Eight win over Iowa State Saturday. "We need to get things reorganized on offense," Oaborne said. "Our defense really held up." Nebraska's win, coupled with Oklahoma's 19-14 loss to Missouri, gave the Cornhuskers their first undisputed Big Eight title since 1971, when Nebraska also claimed the national championship.

The victory means an automatic Orange Bowl bid for the seventh-ranked Huskers, 6-0 in the conference and 8-2 for the year. Osborne praised the Huskers' kicking game as a major factor in the win. Punter Grant Campbell averaged 47 yards on five kicks, and Eddie Neil and Irving Fryar ignited a fourth-quarter explosion that brought the Huskers 24 points in 5 minutes 20 seconds. Neil hit on the Huskers' only field goal attempt of the day from 49 yards out, and when the Nebraska defense shut down Iowa State's offense on the next series, Fryar returned a Rich Miller punt 63 yards for a touchdown. Osborne was particularly happy with the way the defense stopped the running game of ISU ail-American candidate Dwayne Crutchfield, who piled up 98 yards rushing in the first half but was held to minus-1 yard in the second half.

"The defense controlled the line of scrimmage in the second half. We wore Crutchfield down, and we quit arm- tackling," Osborne said. Osborne said he didn't think next week's game with arch-rival Oklahoma had anything to do with Saturday's victory. "I don't think we looked ahead. We Tom Osborne haven't started to prepare for Oklahoma," he said.

Iowa State Coach Donnie Duncan said he was happy with the Cyclone running game in the first half, but nagging injuries that have plagued Iowa State all year began to take their toll in the second half. "The first half Crutchfield was healthy. In the second, (Tom) Davis was in as a substitute fairly regularly," he said. "As long as we have that power and strength (of Crutchfield) inside, we have the power to move people." Duncan said Crutchfield re-injured an ankle and was unable to cut laterally, "but that wasn't the game." He said the three keys to the loss were Fryer's punt return, an interception on Iowa State's next series and a fumbled reverse, which gave the Huskers 21 points in their fourth-quarter explosion. "The 31 points is not indicative of the way our defensive players played," Duncan said.

"Anyone who saw the game would recognize that." The teams battled on even terms until 14:52 left in the game, when Neil's line-drive effort sailed between the outstretched arms of the Cyclone defenders to break a 7-7 deadlock. Fryar's fireworks came less than two minutes later when the Cornhusker defense shut down the Cyclones and Miller was forced to punt. On the next series, ISU quarterback John Quinn was intercepted by tackle Henry Waechter at the Cyclone 21. Five plays later, sophomore quarterback Turner Gill threw a 3-yard scoring strike to wingback Anthony Steels. Quinn, trying to get ISU back into the game, was frustrated on the next series by a fumbled handoff, recovered at the Iowa State 11 by Husker middle guard Curt Hineline.

Fullback Phil Bates scored on the next play. The Cyclones, 2-3-1 in the Big Eight and 5-4-1, held the offensive advantage at the half, piling up 166 yards, primarily on Crutchfield's power running. The Huskers could only manage 88 yards offense before halftime, and capitalized on their only scoring opportu 7 nity when I-back Mike Rozier scored from 4 yards out to tie the score at 7-7 with 2:38 left in the half. Crutchfield tallied on a 2-yard run with 6:21 left in the second quarter to give Iowa State its only lead of the day. The Cyclones missed on two other first-half scoring opportunities.

The Cyclones moved from their 26 to the Nebraska 8 on their first possession of the day, but the drive was halted when Quinn fumbled a snap at the 8 and linebacker Brent Evans recovered for the Huskers. With 27 seconds left in the half, ISU kicker Alex Giffords narrowly missed a 45-yard field goal attempt, set up by tackle Shamus McDonough's interception of a Gill pass.

Fikejs and Vogt scored their first touchdowns in the first half with Fikejs opening the scoring on a 3-yard run and Vogt hauling in a 1-yard pass from Faul. St. Mary sandwiched a 25-yard field goal by Mark Brown between the scores but still trailed 14-3 at the half. The Cavaliers pulled to within 14-10, with a 8-yard touchdown pass from Russ Lane to Tim Fox, but Fikejs, on a 5-yard run, and Vogt, on a 15-yard pass from Foul, each scored again to decide the game. Tabor closed the season 3-6 overall and 3-5 in the conference, while St.

Mary ended 4-6 and 4-4. Southwestern blasts Bethel WINFIELD (UPI) Tom Calvin, the leading scorer in the NAIA, threw for one touchdown and ran for three others Saturday to give Southwestern a 42-7 Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference victory over Bethel. Ron Hubp scored twice in the first period, taking a 72-yard pass from Wade Cargile and then hauling an 18- yard pass from Calvin, to get the Southwestern offense moving. The Moundbuilders added a 48-yard scoring pass from Cargile to Lester Fowler before Bethel managed a score. Calvin scored the next three touchdowns for Southwestern, getting 5 and 1-yard touchdown runs for a 35-7 halftime lead, and adding a 28-yard touchdown run in the final period.

The Bethel offense was held to one scoring play, a 7-yard run by Lyle Strait in the second quarter. Bethel ended the season 1-7 in the conference and 1-4 overall. Southwestern finished with a second- place ranking in the KCAC, with records of 5-2-2 overall and 5-2-1 in the conference. COLUMBIA, Mo. (UPI) Bob Meyer rushed for 108 yards and one touchdown to carry Missouri to a 19-14 victory Saturday over llth-rated Oklahoma and deprive Sooner Coach Barry Switzer of the Big Eight Championship for the first time in his nine-year tenure.

The loss dropped Oklahoma to 5-3-1 the most losses a Switzer-coached team has ever absorbed. The Sooners are now 4-1-1 in the conference to clinch for Nebraska its first undisputed Big Eight title since 1971 when the Cornhuskers also won the national championship. Nebraska is 9-2 overall and 6-0 in Big Eight play heading into its season finale next Saturday against the Sooners at Oklahoma. The Warren Powers coached Missouri defense delivered the Tigers their first win over Oklahoma since 1969 by forcing eight turnovers six fumbles and two interceptions but the Sooners still almost pulled the game out. Trailing 19-7 with two minutes left in the game, quarterback Darrell Shepard threw a "Hail Mary" pass that Missouri linebacker Van Darkow deflected into the arms of freshman Steve Sewell for a 46-yard touchdown.

The Sooners then recoverd an onside kick at the Missouri 42 but Oklahoma Bob Meyer turned the ball over on downs following three incomplete passes by Shepard. That enabled Missouri to keep its own bowl hopes alive with its second straight win and a 7-3 overall record. The Tigers are also 3-3 in conference play. Missouri defensive tackle Jeff Gaylord was brilliant with 12 tackles, including four for 17 yards in losses and a sack. He also recovered three fumbles and forced Shepard to hurry a pass that led to an interception by Demetrious Johnson in the third period.

Johnson also recovered a Shepard fumble. Meyer's touchdown came on a 19- yard run following the Johnson interception at the Missouri 46 late in the third period. George Shorthose went 32 yards around right end on the first play of the possession and Meyer burned the right end again two plays later for 19 yards and his eighth touchdown of the season. The touchdown accounted for Missouri's only points in the second half and gave the Tigers what would turn out to be an unsurmountable 19-7 Meyer rushed 21 times and also caught; three passes for 34 yards. Although Shepard finished the day with 123 yards rushing and a touch-; down, the day will remain a nightmare; for him.

He fumbled the ball away four; times and threw both interceptions as; Oklahoma's four-game winning streak; came to an end. Missouri recovered three Sooner fumbles in the Oklahoma end of the field in the first quarter but could only! cash them in for one field goal a 24- yarder by Bob Lucchesi six minutes in the game.

Wildcats shock WSU, 32-30 WICHITA (UPI) Freshman Mario Ferretti took advantage of a second chance Saturday after a Wichita State penalty to kick a 23- yard field goal with 20 seconds left to lead Northern Michigan to a 3230 non-league win. Northern Michigan kept its unbeaten record intact at 11-0 while Wichita State ended regular season play with a 4-6-1 mark. It was a seesaw battle from start to finish with Northern Michigan, ranked No. 2 among NCAA Division II teams, unawed by the Division I Shockers. Ferretti's winning kick came three seconds after he missed a 28-yard field goal attempt.
