It helped us a great deal to helped us a great deal to go into our dressing room at half time leading 21-7 rather than being tied 14-14." Captain Bill Light blamed long completed passes for the defeat. "We'd stop Nebraska for two downs and on third down they pass for a first down. Nebraska was a lot quicker than I anticipated. Rodgers is probably the quickest back we will face all year. 0 the second quarter.

"We felt we had to establish a passing game against Minnesota, said Devaney.

"We didn't think we could just run at them all day. Last we did against Oregon, but today we tried to use the pas in situations which normally might call for the run. We were able to exploit some inexperience in their secondary." Tagge, who had thrown only 10 times in a 34-7 victory against Oregon, hit 15 of 21 yesterday for 218 yards. And Rodgers grabbed six of those for 126 yards. The Gophers could not generate a rush against the sturdy Nebraska offensive line, while Kinney, rushing for 79 yards, kept things in balance.

Now that they've seen how No. 1 teams play, the Gophers must regroup for the invasion of Washington State next Saturday. By Sid Hartman Staff Writer i Lincoln, Neb. Murray Warmath didn't think the score Nebraska 35, Minnesota 7 was the difference in the ability of the two teams, Saturday, i '(we played a much Stronger, more determined and more spirited game than we did in beating Indiana (28-0) last week," said Warmath, following tjie defeat at the hands of the defending national champions and the current Ijop-rated team, 'At tidies we were Inept ih some departments. Penalties again hurt us.

Most of them were in the area of not being necessary or lieing avoidable. Is a great football team and their quarterback (Jerry Tagge) and halfback (Johnny Rodgers) were hotter than a pistol. still don't think Nebraska is 28 points better than us. I'd love the chance to play them again. 'I think a second game ould be a lot closer.

It was a game of almosts. Had we been able to score when we had first down on the Nebraska 10 just before half time and tied the score at 14-14 it might have turned everything around. 'instead of it being tied at rjalftime, Nebraska marched the length of the field trr make it 21-7. That touchdown did stun us. I don't know if we ever got over it.

"We showed what we clj 1 do when we did march 78 yards to come back from a 14-0 deficit. We just have to quit making mistakes. We knew we had to play a near perfect game if we were to beat Nebraska and we did any-tfrjng but that." tr Nebraska coach Bob Devaney agreed with Warpath's sizeup. "Minnesota's young defense played our running game real tough and actually forced us to pass," Said Devaney. "We did take advantage of some of; Minnesota's inexperience on defense.

It had to Late Georgia rush wins 17-7 yards for a 14-7 lead with 8:54 remaining in the game. Georgia added a 31 -yard field goal just over two minutes later but it was not necessary. Arizona zips by Cougars Correspondent Spokane, Wash. Washington State, plagued by its own errors and the fourth-quarter passing of Arizona quarterback Bill Demory, was beaten 39-28, Saturday. The Cougars had gone ahead 21-14 on Bernard Jackson's 78-yard run in the second quarter, stayed ahead 21-20 when Arizona missed a third-quarter conversion, then boomed ahead 28-20 in the fourth quarter on a 58-yard, tackle-busting run by sophomore fullback Ken Grand-berry.

The Wildcats zoomed back, though, on the passing of Demory and the catching of Charlie Mc-Kee, closing it to 28-26 with but 4:25 lest in the final period. Demory nudged it over from the one after an 84-yard drive that included three big-gain shots to McKee. But Cougar sophomore Greg Craighead and Tom Wick-ert jumped in to ground Demory near the goal trying to run in a two-Then, up came the fatal point option play, error. Jackson, returning the Arizona kickoff, fumbled at his 24 as he was swung around, and A i a Brian Linstrom recovered at the Cougar 15. Arizona tailback Joe Pe-troshus got it close on a 12-yard burst with Demo-ry's late pitch-out and, after a penalty, Demory hit split end Barry Dean for the score a nine-yarder with 3:23 to play.

Another -p i run failed and it was 32-28. A Cougar fourth-andtwo play missed by a yard with 2:00 left and the Cats took over at the WSU 46 and got a final, somewhat superfluous touchdown on a rather surprising pass from Demory to McKee on third down good for 47 yards. It was win a few, lose a few in the action-crammed first half, but Jackson and a well-blocked 78-ya power play sent the Cougars off the field with a 21-14 first half lead that could have been wider. The Cougars took the opening kickoff 67 yards in eight plays. Paine bluffed a run and threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to soph Bobby Redmond, flaring in the end zone, for the 7-0 Paine next hit Tony Lo-max on another yarder to the end zone corner.

Arizona picked off a fumble at its 48 and moved to a third and six at the WSU 11. Demory threw in the end zone toward McKee. Robin Sinclair, covering McKee perfectly, leaped and spiked the ball toward the ground, bur Chris Eddy made a diving grab for the 1 touchdown. Arizona tied it 14-14 after a pass interference penalty at the WSU 14, but the Cougars went back up 21-14. WSU coach Jim Sweeney, whose team faces Minnesota next Saturday in Minneapolis, said afterward: "I don't mean to cheapen Arizona's win but I feel we could have won.

Arizona came back and did a good Job. I didn't sea Jackson get hit on the key fumble. He rims so hard that when he hits some, one, sometimes the shock knocks the ball loose. We can find lots of ways to beat ourselves. The ability to stop making the mistakes, the difference between winning and losing, has to come from within each individual." Jeff Kinney (35) leaped high to score the second Nebraska touchdown in a 35-7 victory over Minnesota at Lincoln.

Leading the way for Kinney was fullback Bill Olds (44). Nebraska defenders were Mike Perfetti (23), Steve Neils (97) and Bill Light. Gopher scorecard St. John's ripped St. Cloud State 35-7 Saturday in Upper Midwest nonconfer-ence college football at Collegeville, Minn.
