Henry was the difference in well-played defensive struggle as he slashed through Augie defenders for Oregon State CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) -A lethargic Oregon State team roared to life in the second half Saturday and upset California 16-10 in a Pacific -8 football game.

In the first half, California scored on two of four opportunities while OSU made only one first down and had net yardage of minus four. But the Beavers opened the second half using the option play and surprised the California defense with a 26-yard scoring pass from quarterback Jim Kilmartin to end Jeff Kolberg. The next time Oregon State had the ball, Kilmartin directed the team 53 yards in 12 plays and fullback Dave Schilling took it over, putting OSU ahead for good. California, getting good ISU Coach Satisfied With Club AMES, Iowa (AP) Iowa State football coach Johnny Majors felt his Cyiones were still a "good football team" after Saturday's 54-29 Big Eight Conference defeat by fourth-ranked Nebraska, which he labeled "a great team." "I have nothing but praise for Nebraska, and no criti-cism whatsoever of our team," said Majors, whose Cyclones dropped their fifth straight of the season and ninth in a row in the Big Eight. "WE HAVE the finest receiver in the country in Otto Stowe," added Majors, in what for him was a very short post-mortem on the game.

Stowe caught touchdown passes of 9 and 33 yards and had six receptions for 63 yards as he added on to a pair of career Iowa State pass-catching records. Nebraska coach Bob Devaney also lauded Iowa State, which lost its tenth straight to the Cornhuskers. "They did a real fine job offensively," said Devaney. "The thing that impressed me about Iowa State was that they kept coming back." DEVANEY also thought his team played well as it pounded out 565 yards total offense. "Our first team played well, and I felt our offense was very versatile and effective today," he said.

The Nebraska coach showed some displeasure with the play of his reserves, against whom Iowa State scored its final two touchdowns late in the game. "We were playing our second-string kids, they were playing their first team. And their first team beat our sec-ond-teamers once in a while," said Devaney. ASKED about possibly running up the score to maintain or boost Nebraska's national ranking, Devaney said, "Teams naturally think of national rank, but the only one that's important is the one at the end of the season. "If I had been too worried about national ranking, I wouldn't have played my reserves so early," he added.

Despite an 8 0 -1 record, Devaney feels the toughest part of Nebraska's schedule is just ahead. "The games we play the next two Saturdays will be our toughest of the year. We can't afford to think past Kansas State next week," he said. HE SAID low an Van Brownson, a junior from Shenandoah who had been the Cornhuskers' starting quarterback the past four weeks, saw action only as a place-kick holder because of an injury.

Hunt's field goal, his second of the game, was the climax to a wild fourth quarter that saw South Carolina score 15 points and Tennessee ten.

But with substitute quarterback Dennis Chadwick lead-ing the way, Tennessee moved deep enough for Hunt to save the victory.

WELL KNOWN team could mount a sustained offensive drive. AUGIE KNOTTED the score early in the third quarter when placekicker Bob Car-fa climaxed a 45-yard march by splitting the uprights from 22 yards away, The big gainer in the drive was a 13-yard screen pass from quarterback Rey Dahl to Gary Fairchild.

Millikin got on the scoreboard first with a 26-yard field goal by Loren Thorsten-sen midway through the initial period after a drive stalled at the Viking 9.

Randy Wersching, who tried three field goals in the first half, converted on one of them early in the second period the 22nd of his career and a Pacific-8 record. That put California ahead 10-0.

Bobby Moore, improved its record to 6-3. The two teams, ranked among the nation's best in total offense, put on a give-and-take scoring show for a crowd of 24,700.

The Cyclones lost defensive tackle Darrel Jamsonius who suffered a broken ankle in the first quarter.
