Mallory spoke in almost exclusive positive terms and more than once alluded to the Buffs bouncing back from their ninth straight setback against Nebraska. "I'm darn disappointed," he said, "but I'm not tossing in the towel. I don't know if people will stick with us. It's up to them, but I'm not quitting.

"I don't cry around after a loss," he added. "I know one thing about me Bill Mallory. I can and will snap back after a loss. I know our players will, too. Proud of Effort "As a coach, even in a loss, you look for different things.

First, did we try our best? Did we bust our butts? Did we give it "I don't like what Mallory does, but to be honest, I expected it today," Harraway said. "Usually, he'll just make players off limits after losses on the road. Today is nothing new. We've been through this before, and I suppose we will be again. "I don't understand it," added Harraway.

"Losing a football game is not a suicide situation. But Bill seems to make it 'like that. He feels he's protecting the feelings of his players. It bugs everyone. I even talked to two Colorado Board of Regents members today to see if anything can be done about it." Mallory was cordial in his own dealings with the press despite the disappointing loss to Nebraska.

He is not caustic like Woody Hayes He is not surly like Woody Hayes.

He is not easily incensed like Woody Hayes. Nevertheless, Bill Mallory is like Woody Hayes in one rather major respect he disdains post-game locker room interviews. Mallory, Colorado's third year head football coach who served under Hayes as Ohio State's defensive line jach from 1967 to 1969, has let Hayes' controversial influence seep into the Big Eight. Players Off Limits After Nebraska's 24-12 victory over his Buffaloes here Saturday, Mallory kept the press waiting 25 minutes before opening the doors. Interviews with players, he said, were strictly off limits.

"I told our players to get dressed and get out of here. They feel bad enough without having to talk about the loss," Mallory said. A couple Boulder Daily Camera sportswriters, Mike Knisley and Craig Harper, had talked briefly with kicker Mark Zetterberg, linebacker Bert Roth and wingback Emergy Moorehead before being shut down. Les Steckel, Colorado's wide receiver coach, grabbed the notes out of Knisley's notebook, crumpled them up and threw them away. Dan Creedon, the Camera's sports editor who had been in the interview room with Mallory at the time, later approached Steckel and indicated bis displeasure.

Writer Threatened "He told me he'd punch me in the teeth if he had to," Creedon said of Steckel, a former U.S. Marine captain, national Golden Gloves light heavyweight boxing champion and decorated inf-natry officer in Vietnam. Unlike the Boulder Camera, Frank Harraway covers Colorado football by himself for The Denver Post, an assignment he's had for 20 years. 5 I c-spvey nn Waldemore blocks Mike Spivey (47) and Donnell blocks Charlie Johnson (72) as Anthony spots the opening (3).

'Bullet-field Made Good Play' lKk zJouchdownf Tu our all? Today, bur people did. It's a darn shame we didn't win, but I'm proud of the great effort we gave." Mallory didn't sidestep comment on perhaps the game's most crucial play Dave Butterfield blocking Zetterberg's 21-yard field goal attempt which would have given Colorado a 15-14 lead with 12 minutes left in the game. "That sure hurt," Mallory said.

"That was a heckuva Nebraska rush. We thought he (Butterfield) was offsides. Our coaches up in the pressbox insist he was offside. I know one thing. He came in awfully quick." Mallory said Howard Ballage made a tactical error when he fumbled a Nebraska punt on his own 21-yard line, setting the stage for the Cornhuskers late third quarter touchdown.

Turning Point "Howard might have misjudged it because of the sun, I don't know," Mallory said. "He did not catch it true. When there's ever any you should stay the hell away from the thing. "That was really a turning point and it's a shame it happened," he added, "but no blame should be placed on this young man. We win We lose together.

He's only a sophomore and he's going to be a great player someday." Mallory was surprised about two aspects of the game. He felt if Colorado had the temp at half-time, the Buffs would win. He also felt if Colorado shut down Nebraska's passing attack, the' Buffs would win. "We had control at the half and we held them to 96 yards passing, yet we couldn't get the job done," Mallory said, shaking his head. "Nebraska's two defensive tackles are great," Mallory offered, "and when that defen-; sive end (Tony Samuel) went out, we really attacked his replacement (George Andrews).

But he came up with a couple really big plays. Nebraska is a fine, fine football team are we." i WWU Ull UIC UUtfU, kicker said. "I kicked one from the same angle last week against Drake and it was good. Dave Butterfield just made a good play." Zetterberg's four first half field goals of 50, 46, 37 and 29 yards tied the Colorado school record of four by Freddie Lima against Kansas in 1972. Colorado kicker Mark Zetterberg told a Boulder sportswriter Saturday that his 21-yard missed field goal attempt in the fourth quarter was caused by a missed assignment.
