rns Back Stubborn Kansas, 24-13 By Jim Van Kan. (AP) Unbeaten Nebraska used the passing and running of cool Bob' Cnurchich and the Play-busting of middle guard Wayne Meylati to overcome itubborn Kansas 24-13 Saturday. Buskers made it eight straight for the season and five straight In Big-Eight football in quest of their fourth straight league title. Kansas came to life offensively in the last half with the tricky reverses of Don Shanklin and Junior Riggins, and the passing of Billy Fenton, a gritty 150- pounder who hadn't played a minute all season. The Jayhawks scored once on a 25-yard Fenton pass deflected by flanker Bailey Kampsch'roe- der Into the hands of Riggins in the end zone.

Kansas threatened again before the Huskers took control and drove 45 yards for a last period touchdown. Churchieh, a cool, 178-pound senior, is noted for his pinpoint -pressure passing but not for his running. He made the key plays of an 18 point second period on the ground, however. Win Gamble With fourth and three at the Kansas 23 in a scoreless first period, Churchich made the first down with a seven-yard keeper- over his right' tackle. Four plays later, 219-pound Ben Gregory bolted three yards for the'TD and a 6-0 Husker lead.

Late in the half with second and 15 at the Kansas 27, Churchich swept to his right on the option play, cut back and standing up. On the first play after the kickoff, Dennis Thorell stole a Fenton pass and returned it 20 yards to the' Kansas 24. The Huskers then broke it open by ramming over a TD in six running Harry Wilson getting it from the two. Meylan Tough Meylan, a mobile 239-pound- er, stopped Kansas backs four times for losses totaling 25 yards and put terrific pressure on Fenton. He ran down Fenton for an 18-yard loss to stop one Kansas drive early in the third period.

Churchich hit 11 of 15 passes for 101 yards and one touchdown, a nine-yarder to Wilson with 51 seconds left. The plucky Jayhawks got that TD.back on Shanklin's 12-yard strike to Kampschroeder with three seconds remaining. Fenton completed nine of 17 passes for 105 yards. Shanklin ied the Kansas rushers with 77 yards on 21 trips while Gregory led the Huskers with 79 on 17. Southwestern Beats Sterling STERLING Southwestern's.

(AP) "We won the ball what we came here said Nebraska Coach Bob Devaney. "It wouldn't have been close if we hadn't had those penalties and fumbles the last half." Devaney wasn't happy with his reserves, saying:" "They usually play pretty good football, but they let K.U. drive the length of the field in the last minute." Ben Gregory and Harry Wilson, Nebraska backs, agreed that Kansas hit harder than any team the Huskers played all year. "It felt like (Mike) Sweatman (Kansas linebacker) almost knocked my nose off on one play," Gregory said.

"The Kansas defense did a lot of gang tackling. I can't understand why they haven't won more real tough." Harvey Hit Hard Wilson said George Harvey, Kansas linebacker, "hit me all afternoon he has tremendous speed for Ins size. Once on a one-on-one situation Harvey just plugged up that hole and hit me so hard. Our backs arc known to gain that extra yardage but they didn't at all this afternoon." Devaney praised the play of Senior quarterback Bob Churchich, who passed for 101 yards to break the Nebraska school record for career passing, and middle guard Wayne Meylan, who got Kansas backs for losses totaling 25 yards. Meylan is ah All-America candidate.

Churchich has 2,675 yards passing for his career, 40 more than Dennis Claridge gained in 1961-62-63. Special Praist Kansas Coach Jack Mitchell had special praise for Billy Fenton, 150-pound quarterback who hadn't played since last season. "Fenton has all the heart and guts in the world," Mitchell said. "He's playing just like he did last year, but he's not as fast because he hasn't been able to get in condition due to a foot injury. "He's working hard and every day helps." "I don't know whether our boys played harder or Nebraska let up in the second half.

Nebraska is about as good as it wants to be. When they bear down; they can be great." Fenton said, "We were just embarrassed by the way our offense played the first half. The coach told us to get fired up, and do better and we did."

Nov. 5 (AP) Oklahoma coach Jim Mackenzie was outwardly calm after the Sooners' 37-6 football victory over Kansas State Saturday, but admitted that he had some anxious moments before the final whistle. "I think the long passes to Ben Hart and Eddie Hinton were major factors in our win," he said, "but you have to remember it would be hard to pick out any individual who did a better job than the rest." Mackenzie was asked about the Sooner field goal before the half when Oklahoma held a narrow 7-point lead. "We got some misinformation, and I thought the ball was on the one and one-half yard line. I was told it was deeper, then we sent in two players to try the field goal.

When I realized where the ball was, it was too late and we couldn't substitute any more," Mackenzie said. "It turned out all right. We got three points, didn't we?" Someone asked him about the crowd reaction and the Sooner coach smiled and said, "I don't pay any attention to them. It's not their bread and butter." Quarterback Jim Burgar played at the signal-calling post most of the game because his akeriMte, Bob Warmack, was injured slightly during practice this wcok and the Sooner coach- didn't want to aggravate tha sore shoulder. Mackenzie said Kansas State has a good, fighting of kids, but that they don't have enough depth.

Mackenzie commented that Ok. lahoma look a while to adjist to the running of Cornelius Davis, Kansas State tailback, because the Sooners figured ha would be running at fullback, "I don't think that we threw that well," Kansas State Coach Weaver said when he learned the Wildcats hit nine of 25 passes for 138 yards. "We had a couple of interceptions. On our one big drive wo looked very good. At other points in the game, when it was important, we didn't do so well," 'he said.

Weaver said he didn't put in any special plays. He explained that switching Davis to tailback to replace injured Ossie Cain consumed most of the week. "We planned to play Davis, then Mike Duncan. We weren't going to play Cain unless were out," said Weaver. Wildcat Bill Nossek, commenting on Oklahoma's ends, said, "I thought they played real well.

We were to do what we wanted, run Davis up the middle. mainly wanted to get to throw.".
