(Telegram Photo by Rich Gaver). Nebraska turns CU errors into 63 points By CHARLES E. W1ESER LINCOLN, Neb. (UPI)-If Coach Bill Mallory has never been inside a of horrors, the of Nebraska will suffice as a '''suitable substitute. After his 10th ranked Buf- '(aloes had turned the ball over often to Nebraska in a 63-21 that it verged on the in- '''credible, Mallory said, "I believe 1 was in the Bright place." He said he hoped 'he was having a bad dream, that he'd wake up "and the would be over." If he found what had hap- pened difficult to believe, so Nebraska Coach Tom "'Osborne.

"I've never seen so many turnovers with ex- cellent field position," he said, adding he figured the game's outcome would hinge on a break and that it would end with a win spread of one to three points. But Osborne also said his ranked fourth ''nationally, turned in an performance, for a lapse or two, and character" when it right back and scored 42-yard Vince Ferragamo 'pass to Bobby Thomas less two minutes after quarterback Dave Williams stunned the Corn- huskers with a 74-yard scoring run on the game's third play from scrimmage. The go-ahead touchdown came on a 10-yard run by John O'Leary and capped a 57-yard drive. It was after that that Colorado started making its unbelievable string of errors, fumbling the ball the Huakers on its 31 and setting up a six- play drive on which Monte Anthony scored the first of his two touchdowns on a two-yard through the line. The first Nebraska scoring march was 69 yards and the fourth 80 yards.

The others all set up by Colorado fumbles and one Cornhusker pass interception covered 23,1, 34,11 and 14 yards. In addition to O'Leary, Anthony scored twice in the lopsided affair, and Ferragamo got into the point- making act twice on passes, also connecting on a five-yard touchdown flip to Brad Jenkins in the second quarter. Other touchdowns came on short one-yard runs by Tony Davis and Gary Higgs and a 14-yard sprint by Dave Gillespie, leading Nebraska ground gainer with 106 yards in 14 Ferragamo, Osborne said gets better game after game, clicked on eight of 10 passes for 118 yards. Williams scored on a six- yard run and Jim Kelleher on a three-yard run for the Buffs' last two touchdowns. Osborne claimed he was worried that something might happen early in the game to reverse the misfortune Colorado was suffering.

"But every time something bad happened, it seemed to. be happening to'them." he said. If Mike Coyle had a tired right foot after the game, that was understandable. He han- dled kickof chores and kicked nine extra points. Once he was called on to try a field goal but missed.

Even that turned into good fortune for the Cornhuskers because the Buffs were offside to give Nebraska a first down close to the goal. That led to Davis' touchdown. That's the kind of game it was. LINCOLN, Neb. (UPI) Statistics of the Colorado- Nebraska football game: Colo Neb First Downs 20...

United Press International Oklahoma State, despite a conference schedule, was just too good to lose three games in a row. The Cowboys, who were slight underdogs entering Saturday's contest at Kansas, desperately needed the vic- tory after successive losses to Missouri and Nebraska.

If they had lost Saturday, they would be facing the prospect of meeting Oklahoma and Colorado at Boulder on the heels of three straight defeats. Quarterback Scott Burk engineered a pair of third- quarter drives, covering 70 and 78 yards, that pumped Oklahoma State into a 28-7 lead and eventually turned into a 35-19 victory. "Our offensive line protects me like I was their little baby," said Burk. "That's something I appreciate." Said Kansas coach Bud Moore, "Oklahoma State was an excellent team and we allowed them to be. They just took the fight to us." Oklahoma State scored five touchdowns on the Jayhawks, four more than anyone else had in Kansas' first six games.

Terry Miller ran for 112 yards, Robert Turner 103 and Burk added 65 more. While Oklahoma State was avoiding a plunge into college football's might-have-beens graveyard, second ranked Oklahoma, fourth ranked Nebraska and 15th ranked Missouri also were winning. Oklahoma clouted Iowa State, 39-7, with Joe Washington scoring twice and gaining 90 yards on 14 carries; Nebraska scored nine straight touchdowns after a 74-yard touchdown run by Colorado's David Williams on the third play of the game and romped to a 63-21 triumph, and Missouri blasted Kansas State, 35-3, although the Tigers played without injured tailback Tony Galbreath. The big game this Saturday will send Nebraska (7-0) to Missouri (5-2) for a nationally televised clash. Elsewhere, Oklahoma (7-0) will visit Oklahoma State (5-2), Colorado (5-2) will go to Iowa State (4-3) and Kansas State (3-4) will travel to Kansas (4- 3).

Missouri has enjoyed great success against Nebraska In recent years, winning the last two by 21-10 and 13-12 scores. By MIKE RABUN UPI Sport! Writer MEXICO CITY (UPI) United States athletes spent the past two weeks in Mexico feeling as if they were invited guests who had been given the back, room and told they had to eat out. So they demonstrated their distaste by rifling their host's treasure chest. The Americans brought home 116 gold medals and 247 medals overall from the seventh Pan American Games, which ended Sunday with the traditional closing ceremony at the Aztec Stadium. The 247 total represents the largest collection of medals ever won in the Games.

And the 116 gold medal count has been bested only once the Americans having captured 128 in 1967 at Winnipeg. But the outstanding run of U.S. performances, putting the nation's athletes in the proper mood for the upcoming Olympic year, was ac- complished under the most pleasant of circumstances. "I think many of those athletes who have made inter- national trips before realize the American sports figure is not the most popular in the world," said Col. F.

Don Miller, executive director of the United States Olympic Committee. "But those who were ex- posed to it for the first time found it to be something of a surprise." From the opening day of the games American athletes were subjected to booing, catcalls and, most of all, the shrill whistle which in this part of the world is the common signal of displeasure. The booing continued right through to the closing ceremonies. The appearance of the American flag in the parade of nations unleashed the bansheelike whistling. President Luis Echeverria Alvarez, who was booed loudly himself at the Games opening ceremonies, spared himself further em- barrassment Sunday by failing to appear at the official closing of the competition.

"I talked to many of our participants," said Miller, "and they all said the whistling gave them ad- ditional motivation. I visited as many of the game sites as I could and I thought the whistling generally came from an isolated, but well organized group." The harsh treatment of the Americans was not a hit-and- miss affair. It was general. The most flagrant attack came during the 20-kilometer, walk during which American Larry Young, who placed third behind two Mexicans, was shoved, hastled and spat upon. "Our man was treated so very baoUy that we took im- mediate exception to it, of course," said Miller.

"The explanation of the Games committee was that the police were not allowed on the grounds of the University of Mexico (most of the race course was through the university). "They did apologize for that and they promised better c.rowd control during the marathon. And we received better control." The final medal count showed the United States won 54 per cent of the 215 gold medals awarded. The Cubans, who had trained vigorously for the competition since-it provided them with a chance to upstage the U. won 58 golds exactly half the American total.

Canada won 18 first places and none of the other countries participating could manage as many as 10 gold medals.
