Iowa State, a 21-point underdog, surprised vaunted Nebraska in a 23-23 deadlock before a wildly excited capacity crowd of 36,231 at Clyde Williams Field. A missed extra point by Tom Goedjen cost the Cyclones a major upset in the school's football history. Yet, as it was, it couldnt be classed otherwise.

A 24-yard pass from George Amundson to Willie Jones in the left corner of the end zone with only 23 seconds left in the game, pulled the Cyclones into a deadlock as fans surrounded Jones. Goedjen's PAT try sailed just inches to the left of the uprights. The tie, no doubt, erased Nebraska hopes for a third straight national championship, for the Cornhuskers, known as the Big Red, earlier suffered a 20-17 defeat by UCLA THE CORNHUSKERS, while keeping the Big Eight lead with a 4-0-1 record, now are 7-1-1 for the season and hopeful for a bowl bid. The magnificent Cyclones, being eyed strongly by Liberty Bowl representatives, solidified their post-season chances with the tie. They are 2-2-1 in the conference and 5-2-1 for the year.

Up to Saturday, the Cornhuskers, rated No. 3 nationally, had won 24 straight Big Eight games, dating back to early in the 1969 season, Iowa State, which could have and perhaps should have won this game, made a brilliant last minute drive of 74 yards to achieve the deadlock. With 1:03 left, Rich Sanger gave the Cornhuskers a 23-17 lead with a 36-yard field goal. ONLY 58 seconds remained after Cyclone Phil Danowsky eturned the kickoff to the Iowa State 26.

SOPHOMORE DENNIS Franklin, no doubt one of the finest quarterbacks in the country, directed the Michigan attack deftly. He was a constant passing threat and finished with 6-for-ll including two. touchdown strikes. Iowa played nearly errorless ball, so mistakes cannot be blamed for the onesided margin.

The Hawks lost only one fumble and were intercepted a single time, which isn't bad in any circles. It was just a case Lauterbur's club was outmanned.

It certainly was a landslide victory for coach Bo Schembechler and his Michigan Wolverines. Intricate computers were not needed to predict the game's outcome once action was only a few minutes oid. The Wolverines overwhelmed Iowa from the opening kickoff to the game's final gun. The nation's fourth-ranked collegiate club raced through the gaps in Hawkeye's five-man defensive line like they were avenues. The visitors rolled up 161 rushing yards in the first half, added 90 more in the final two quarters for a smashing total of 251.

(AP) Woody Hayes, straightforward as ever, wouldn't alibi. "We took a real beating out there," said the veteran coach. "It was not a typical Ohio State football game with all those fumbles.

We lost to a superior team. What more can you say?" Possibly you could say that Michigan State was sky-high for the Buckeyes, defensing them into fumbles and interceptions, and working the Wishbone offense well enough to get four field goals, a touchdown and a 19-12 victory in a Big Ten game.

(Staff Pho- Iowa sportsman to.) 4i 4 The victory was the Spartans second straight going away present to retiring Coach Duffy Daugherty.

Last week they upset Purdue and Saturday fifth-ranked an unbeaten Ohio State. "In all my years I've never seen a team with greater desire," said Daugherty. "Our ball control was the key to this game. When you put the ball in play 81 times to the other team's 57, you are in command." The Spartans managed to get close enough in the first half for Dirk Krijt, a soccer-style placekicker from The Netherlands, to boot field goals from 23, 40, 22 and 31 yards. The last two came in the final minute before halftime and tied the score 12-12.

Each of the scoring drives was guided by quarterback Mark Niesen, who continually burst through and around the Ohio State defense for short gains. The Buckeyes scored their points on a Blair Conway 44-yard field goal in the first period, a 20-yard pass from Greg Hare to Ted Powell and a safety when Jim Coke blocked a punt in the second period, In the end it was Niesen who provided the Spartans with the winning points. He scored on a six-yard run late in the third quarter after Hare was intercepted for the third time. The Michigan State defense also forced four fumbles.

Indiana University's football coach Johnny Pont must have been feeling "paranoid" Saturday evening after watching the University of Illinois unleash its one-man wrecking crew, Lon-nie Perrin. Perrin, a sophomore whose potential is unlimited according to his coach, Bob Black-man, led the Illini to a 37 20 win here against the Hoosiers in a Dad's Day contest played before more than 55,000 fans in Memorial Stadium.

"I really didn't feel 'up' for the game today," said Perrin after the game." But after the first play I was ready. I was a quarterback until the 10th grade, and I was running the ball so much, that my coach turned me into a halfback."
