'4B mmwrnmrnmrnmrnmr- W1I immiimgiSWlWMJMUIMlMl 1 AhwtiKfr-JOURNAL ionflaf lanuary 1. 1M4 'I Guess We're No. Bryant Orange Bowl officials rewrote their record book. Steve Sloan's 296 passing yards erases the 276 mark of Georgia Tech's Frank Broyles against Tulsa in 1945. Broyles now coaches at Arkansas.

a a's Ray Perkins caught nine aU in the first half, To set another mark. Sloan's 20 completions broke the mark of 18 Namath set against Texas last year. The three TD passes by Nebraska quarterback Bob Churchich was another game record. The two touchdown passes' caught by Perkins and the Cornhuskers" Tony Jeter tied a record. Three game records were broken.

Alabama and Nebraska totalled 895 yards in offense, 518 of them by the Tide. The previous mark was a combined total of 819 by Alabama and Syracuse in 1953 when Bama waltzed, 61-6. This year's participants made 46 first downs, beating the Alabama-Syracuse mark of 40. There were 528 yards gained by passing in this one, 72 more than Alabama-Syracuse and Tulsa vs. Georgia Tech in '53 managed.

One participant in the game, Jeter, signed a pro contract after the contest. He went with the Green Bay Packers. None of Bama's drafted players signed. It is possible fullbaack Steve Bowman will do so late Sunday with the New York Giants. It appears as of now Sloan has no professional football aspirations but is highly sought by the Atlanta Falcons.

One dressing room visitor was former Tide quarterback Joe Namath, now with the New York Jets. Namath, as happy as this year's Tide players, said, "They're just too good. I just don't know why they didn't play like that for me," he laughed. Tide halfback Leslie Kelley, who surpassed his performance against Auburn and wound up in a blaze of glory, said the Crimson offense kept Nebraska guessing. "They just didn't know what to expect from us," he said.

Several Tiders kidded tackle Cecil Dowdy for "laying all over that Walt Barnes." What they meant was that Dowdy laid on him after he had blocked him flat on his back numerous times. While the players celebrated, this just enabled Alabama to run more. Thi is the mark of a well-coached football team. We just got beat by a team that played better than we did tonight." Bryant, shouting in the din of his dressing room, said, "We have never been in a game like this. I knew we could move the ball against Any-body.

This game went better than we planned." There was one unhappy player in the Bama quarters. Tackle Jerry Duncan, who caught three passes for 32 yards on tackle eligible plays, was wailing because he haldn't made more yardage on Bama's first play of the game. He got eight yards and slipped. "I should have had a lot more," he joked. By JACK DOAXE Advertiser Sports Editor MIAMI, Fla.

"Those skinny little ole things have big hearts. I don't know what it takes to be No. but I guess with everybody getting beat today I guess we're it." Those were the only rational words Coach Paul Bryant could muster in a deliriously happy Alabama dressing room following the 39-28 operation on mighty Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. Cornhusker coach Bob Devaney agreed. "As far as I'm concerned, Alabama is No.

1 in the country. We had a lot to gain by winning, but we didn't get the job done. We stopped their passing a little better in the second half, but Sloan Attacks Orange Records As Bama Rolls Over Nebraska AP Wlrephoto PLAY NEBRASKA'S TONY JETER SCDRES ON Ben McLeod Hurdles Wayne Trirrole In Effort after a short Steve Davis punt i of 18 yards gave them position at the Bama 45.

Bama, too, went downfield, going from their 23 to the Nebraska three in 10 plays. Biggest one was a 32-yard Sloan-to-Dennis Homan bomb on the first play. Sloan to Wayne Cook for 14 and a 10-yard sweep by Leslie Kelley helped. But momentum died after the Tide had gotten a first down at the 6ix. With fourth and three, Bryant sent Ray in for a 19-yard field goal shot, but it veered off to the left.

For a while the fortune changed, and Nebraska appeared back in it. They moved to the Bama 43, backed the lide up to its la with a punt, then began a move after taking a Crimson kick at the 48. Wachholtz signalled for a fair catch, but Homan racked him when he caught the ball, and the Tide was taxed 15 yards to its 33. On the first play quarterback Bob Churchich, who had just relieved Fred Duda, fired to big Tony Jeter near the 15. And the 227-pound flankman went the rest of the way, running over one defender, for a 33-vard scoring play.

Wachholtz tacked on a point and tied it 7-7 with 2:15 left in the half. The Cornhuskers kept the Tide contained just outside its 10 but made a fatal mistake by roughing Steve Davis as he 'punted from the end zone. The penalty gave Bama a first down at its 25.

Churchich got his club back in contention early in the third quarter as he hit three straight passes covering 62 yards for a touchdown. The TD play was a 49-yarder to halfback Ben Gregory. A Churchich pass for a two-Doint play was broken up hv Rav and left it all at 24-13 with 10:35 left in the third quar ter. It only served to infuriate the Tide, who promptly marcnea 69 yards, every one of them on the ground, to six more points. It took 11 plays with a 2a-yara sprint by Kelley, a running fool this night, the big eater of yardage.

Frank Canterbury got 17 yards in three determined bursts as the goal line neared, and Bowman knifed in for the TD from one away. Sloan sprinted and threw to Perkins, all by himself in the end zone, for the two additional points and a 32-13 lead with 4:29 re maining in the third stanza. The Cornhuskers of Bob Devaney made one more effort 9:30 Monday Night at Sears couragement was necessary. Sloan directed his men the 75 yards in rapid order, not even allowing a 15-yard holding penalty to hamper him. The two long plays were for 22 and 39 yards to Perkins, The latter to the Nebraska 12 as Perkins made one of his patented diving grabs.

Bowman bulled for eight at tackle and Kelley roared the other four into the end zone. Ray made it 14-7 with 7:11 left in the half. The Tide went 93 yards the next time it had the ball. Sloan hit Perkins for 27, found Cook on tosses of seven and 12 yards, got help on an 11-yard pass interference call against the Cornhuskers, then threw 11 to Perkins for another TD. Ray converted and it was 21-7 with 1:42 left.

An onsides kick, covered by Vernon Newbill at the Nebraska 46, brought further fireworks. Sloan fired to Perkins once again, this time for 36 yards to the 10. Bama got it to the two on a seven-yard Sloan-to-Perkins hookup, but fourth down was at hand and Ray booted an 18-yard field goal just 34 seconds from the half to make it 24-7. The Cornhuskers, although overmatched, showed brilliant offense themselves and werej saved from humiliation because of it. Churchich kept the reins of; the Husker ottense in the second half and put on a dazzling show.

Never ahead, the Cornhuskers had to throw more than usual and rushed only 24 times in the game for 146 yards, far below their 290-yard per game -AP Wirephst San Francisco Meet Opens Tliinclad Season PASS To Stop Cornh uskers GUARANTEE FREE REPAIRS on ALLSTATE Tires Shop Monday 'Til 9:30 p.m. A 20-yard Sloan-to-Bowman pass got it started, and Kelley, the game leading rusher with 118 yards on 26 rushes, took ing of Cecil Dowdy, who flatened Nebraska's AU-Amerl ca tackle Walt Barnes on the play. Barnes weighs 252, Dowdy 204. Ray conversion boosted the spread to 39-20 with 8:13 to go. The Cornhuskers weren't dead yet.

One drive was stopped at the Tide nine when Paul Crane intercepted a Churchich pass, but the next time the Big Eight champs went all the way. Churchich hit White for 13, Tonv Jeter for the came's last tnnrhrinun Hp then threw to Gregory for two more and finished it at 39-28 with 2:50 remaining. The 28 points represented the most ever scored aeainst Ala bama during the Bryant reign, but they weren't nearly enough.

set a collegiate record of 3:56.4 while at UCLA, and Jim Ryun, the Kansas schoolboy who set an American record of 3:55.3 as a high school senior, head the mile field. Gerry Lindgren, who burst onto the national track scene at the first Examiner Invitational two years ago, is back again for the two mile. He'll have plenty of competition from Doug Brown, the distance ace from Montana who captured both the three and six-mile races in the last NCAA meet, and Kansan John Lawson. The high school two -mile event is now named for Lind gren, whose nine minutes flat in this race was the meet top sensation in 1964. The slim Washington State sophomore will present the trophy to the winner.

Caldwell, who has sparked the Hawks to two victories since joining the club four days ago in a trade with Detroit, hit the winning basket after Boston's Sam Jones knotted the score at 98-98 with 12 seconds to go.

Some of the biggest names in track have filed entries to whip around the banked boards. Besides runners, there are six high jumpers who've cleared seven feet or better, eight men who've pole vaulted over 16 feet and six shot putters who have thrown the iron ball more than 62 feet. As usual in indoor meets, the distance runners command the most attention.
