A Memorial Stadium house of 50,565 saw the Gophers scale a 22-21 deficit with just 1:17 remain- ing when quarterback Hankinson hurled himself the final foot over a mountain of linemen at the Wildcat foaI And, for a wretched moment just before that plunge, it looked like the Gophers had marched all conversion try pass for Joe Holmberg, but the Gopher defense saw to it that such an oversight shouldn't matter. story of decisive touchdown, however, rested on the durable right arm of Hankinson. John hit seven of seven passes for 84 yards in a marrh that rrrtA fmm th r.w oiiUni fumble, gobbled up by Gopher linebacker Tim Wheeler. That left 80 yards to go and 7:40 in which to do it.

Hankinson needed 17 plays. He started with a 14-yard pass, down and in, to Chet Anderson. Again, Hank dealt down and in, throwing quickly to beat the rush, and had Aaron Brown for 11 more at the Gopher 45. After a Holmberg dive to the 48, Hankinson found Brown at the Wildcat 40 for 12 more yards.

Although Snook elected to stay with his team despite the death of his father this week, he wasn't able to move Iowa. The Hawks gained only one yard rushing all afternoon and in the air notched only 85 yards, most of them late in the fourth period when sophomore Chuck Roland was doing the passing.

John's, the state's "Cinderella" team, completed its rags-to-riches season Saturday. The Johnnies blanked Concordia 10-0 before 8,000 spectators to end their campaign with a perfect 9-0 record. The win gave St. John's a 7-0 mark in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and the league's football crown for the third time in four seasons. ST.

JOHN'S, a team composed of sophomores and juniors, also insured itself of retaining the No. 1 spot in the NAIA poll. It would take an act of the Ecumenical Council to keep the Johnnies from participating in the NAIA's post-season playoffs. The defending league champion, Concordia, i n- ished with a 6-2 over-all mark, 5-2 in the MIAC. Statistically, the Johnnies were far superior to the Cob bers.

St. John's gained 269 quarterbacking from Bill Munson, and, occasionally, like against the Vikings earlier in the season, we have moved the ball well. "I'm convinced in my own mind that we have the personnel to beat the Vikings." The fact remains that the Rams have allowed an average of 32.6 points, more than any team in the NFL. Ironically, the Vikings lead the league in scoring with an average of 32.7. Injuries haffs hurt the Today's Viking Riddle: Will Rams Be Feeling lier this week by Commissioner Pete Rozelle for claiming that some of the NFL's officials are subconsciously affected by crowd reactions in certain stadiums.

This had nothing to do with the Vikings, except that they happened to come up as the Rams' first opponent after the commissioner's rather harsh decision. National Football League rules stipulate that a coach must pay his own fine. By DWAYNE NETLAND Minneapolis Tribune Staff Writer Whatever the implications, the Vikings open a four-game home stand today by confronting a coach with a clear conscience and an empty wallet. Harland Svare, the Minnesota born skipper of the Los Angeles Rams, is satisfied on both counts. Svare's bank account was lightened $1,000 ear Nobody can really afford a $1,000 loss.

So, will Ro-zelle's edict send the Rams onto the Metropolitan Stadium turf hopping mad over what they consider an unjust penalty? "I don't think it will have any effect on the game," Svare said Saturday. "But, in the long run, I certainly hope it does. "What I said was the truth. The crowds in Baltimore and Chicago DO influence officials. This is not to be taken as a criti cism of the spectators.

It merely means that the officials must guard against a subconscious reaction to that crowd pressure. "I knew what I was saying, and what the consequences would undoubtedly be. Rozelle fined Mike Nixon of the i $1,000, so I surely was in line for a similar one. "I didn't pop off right after a game. I stood up at a Los Angeles, football writers' luncheon, 24 hours later.

I simply wanted to make a point, about a situation which must be corrected. "If the losing coach does not bring this up, who will? The winning team can have 15 bad calls, but that coach isn't going to criticize the officials. He's already won the ball game, so who cares? "To me, it was worth the fine to bring this situation out into the open." Svare, who will be 35 on Nov. 25, was born in field, and attended grade schools in Dawson and Redwood Falls. He long has been regarded as one of the great defensive minds of the NFL, but the Rams (1-6) have dismayed him this season by fumbling and dropping passes on Sunday after Sunday.

"It's one of the most frustrating things I've ever been through," Svare said. "We have a better team right now than we had in either 1963 or 1964. "We are getting good 1.
