Ward 1 Vt J.f By DON EVERSOLL Oklahoma State Coach Phil Cutchin made one statement after the defeat of his Cowboys Saturday that seemed to hang over each remark he made to the press corps in a short and solemn meeting. "We played giveaway out there," Cutchin said.

"Our kids played hard here today, but we gave away two touchdowns." The two touchdowns he referred to were the Churchich to Wilson TD pass that covered 34 yards in the third quarter, and Frank Solich's knifing "kickoff return in the third period that gave Huskers a 21-7 edge. "I'm not taking anything away from Nebraska, though," Cutchin stressed. "They controlled the a 1 1 real well. I guess they hit us right, today." With a tinge of disgust, the head coach' then admitted, "Hell they (Nebraska) hurt us everywhere." Cutchin wasn't saying much about his passing game, a factor that had figured to play an important part in the Cowboys' attack against the Huskers. "I'm not sure if we completed any passes," he mused.

But the Huskers had wrapped up their ninth straight win of an, unbeaten season and began visiting with bowl folks. Nebraska opened the game after an exchange of punts by showing their strength to all who wanted to watch. They started on the NU eight-yard line. Hohn picked up a first down by going eight and four yards over the left side.

Churchich hit Jeter with a nine-yard toss, then sent McCloughan," Hohn, Wilson and Solich right, left, and up the middle to move to the 50-yard line.

This time the "Black Shirts" held and forced the Cowboys to punt after three plays. This gave the Huskers the ball at the NU 24 and they consumed over our minutes before punting with 2:37 left in the game. Ron Kirkland kicked the ball into the end zone and OSU had a little over two minutes to go 80 yards.

They never got out of the chute. Defensive signal-caller Mike Kennedy atoned for all the sins of his unit by intercepting a Baxter pass at the OSU 24 and returning It to the 18. The Scarlets didn't look this gift horse in the mouth and movedin- for the final score in seven plays with McCloughan skirting right end unmolested for his 12th touchdown of the season, boosting his' point total to 74. Only' five seconds remained when the conversion attempt went astray as A pass to McCloughan put it on the 41 and the remaining 41 yards were gobbled up in 10 ground plays with McCloughan getting the final inches after officials said he had been stopped short on a three-yard carry on the previous play. The Cowboys moved through the Nebraska defensive line like it has never been dented before to go 67 yards in 12 plays most of it up the middle to score and knot the game at seven-all.

Then came the play that brought most of the 49,500 to their feet all except, the O-State followers who dropped their heads. Frank Solich, the Huskers' answer to Mighty Mouse, took the OSU kickoff at the 11-yard line, started up the middle, wended his way through the Cowboy tack-lers and cut for the east sideline to give the student section a good view. He picked up speed as he moved down the sideline and got a block from McCloughan at the 10-jard line. But Frank was already in the end zone to put NU in front 13-7 with 12:27 left' in the firsj half. Oklahoma State made staying worth their while except for those with weak hearts.

"The Cowboys who had come into the game with a 3-1 Big Eight record and with still a chance at the conference championship refused to fold, supplying plenty of reasons for anyone who had taken them lightly to make a re-evaluation. Oklahoma State linebacker Leon Ward intercepted a Churchich pass at the OSU 33 and returned it to the O-State 44. The Cowboys then probed the Husker inner defense as they had done throughout the game and found the probing fruitful. With fullback Walt Garrison, quarterback Glenn Baxter and halfback Jeff Williams striking for three and four-yard chunks, the Cowboys moved the 56 yards in IS plays to puirwithin 21-14 after Charles Durkee kicked the second of his PAT's.
