Runty fired a 53-yard gem to Anderson and I-back Jeff Moran bulled for two yards as Nebraska sent KU reeling to its worst defeat since a 1954 65-0 loss to Oklahoma. Although the Huskers failed to balance their passing and running game as Devaney has stressed so often, it's hard to fault 360 passing yards and 171 running yards.

The Black Shirt defenders stopped KU's running and passing so effectively that the trio of KU quarterbacks were never a match.

The game's most explosive play, a 72-yard touchdown pass to Johnny Rodgers, quickly pulled NU to a 14-0 advantage with 6:46 left. Although relatively collared by the Jayhawks (Rodgers caught four other passes for 54 yards), the TD effort was a thing of precision and beauty to watch. After breaking loose from the KU secondary, the Omaihia senior caught the perfect pass in stride and scampered un-molested to the end mm leiisnaw wuj cuniume iu downs one in the first half (a 16-yard run by sophomore Billy Riggins on the final play) and three in the final 30 minutes.

One cf those was on a penalty. The Huskers allowed the Jayhawks only 32 rushing yards and 31 passing yards a meager 63 yard offensive production. NU rolled to 171 rushing yards and 360 passing yards for a whopping 531 total offensive output. In scoring its third straight shutout, the Huskers found the early going treacherous against KU. But once NU found the range, it tallied 28 points in less than 1 2 minutes.

Hindered by a blocked punt and a pass interception in the first quarter, the Huskers begani their march towards a fifth consecutive triumph with 13:18 remaining before By MARK GORDON Lawrence, Kan. There was something for all Nebraska fans here Saturday from the passing heroics of David Humm and Steve Runty to the defensive mastery' of Rich Glover Co. But it certainly didn't occur in the early going during a 56-0 bombing of Kansas before 50,500 chilled Memorial Stadium fans. The aroused Jayhawks battled to a 0-0 first-quarter standoff with Nebraska's nationally-ranked Gornhuskers before Human began flinging his left-handed passing arm in style. By the time the Las Vegas product left with 7:27 remaining in the third quarter and NU ahead safely 42-0, he had set a NU record he tied only last week.

(AP) -The name of Lee Stover, who set out last season with a knee injury, kept cropping up in both dressing rooms after Oklahoma State defeated Baylor, 20-7, in an intersec-tional football game here Saturday afternoon. All agreed it was Stover's pass interception and 55-yard sprint into the end zone that turned the tide for the Cowboys. "It took us a long time to get started," said Cowboy tight end Charlie Beal.

"We were poking along until Stover's interception it sparked us up." Beadl later caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from Brent Blackman to seal the victory. Stover, a red-shirt junior from Amarillo, said of the touchdown, which enabled OSU to tie the score a 7-7. "The ball had some steam on it and I just reached out and tipped it and I had it. "I just looked at the goal and started running. It's hard to put into words, I never had anything like that happen to me in my life." Said OSU coadi Dave Smith, 'Tt was a great interception by Stover and it was not only a great catch but it tunwnj the momentum around.

We had a tremendous goal line stand at the end of the first half to give us the momentum then came the interception that turned everything around. "I thought Okkhoma State had exceptional poise the entire second half. They are well coached and well disciplined.

"I was nervous at the first, btrt after the first series I was with th toam," said a happy White.

Seeking to bolster his obviously sagging offense, KU coach Don Fambrough inserted quarterback David Jaynes with 3:24 left in the first half.

Jaynes, the Big Eight's passing leader, showed signs of his ailing right shoulder suffered in last week's 20-19 loss at Kansas State. He was ineffective and Bruce Adams was little better. KANSAS Rushing No. Yds. Ave.

The Kings led by 20 points in the second quarter and left 55-39 margin, thanks mostly to Archibald's 23 points. The Hawks matched their entire first half scoring with Steve Bracey's basket at the buzzer gave Atlanta its first lead of the game, 78-76.

Pete Maravich had 14 and Herm Gilliam, Atlanta's leading scorer with 22, contributed 10 to the big period.
