NU beaten after win Nov 6, 1977, Lincoln, Sunday Journal and StarJE Huskers- page 1E. Nebraska trainer Georee Prep Panorama By Randy York 1A Sullivan said all of the players should be ready for Saturday's final Nebraska, home game against Kansas' with the possible exception of Sorley. "I feel like an old man," Sorley said while cluthcing the ribs on his right side. "I don't think it was a late hit when I gut hurt. I just landed wrong.

Small price COLUMBIA. MO. Tom Sorley said he felt like an old man. and the Nebraska locker room looked like a scene from an old war movie. The Cornhuskers took a severe pounding in their 21-10 win over Missouri as the contest was a typical, rough and physical Husker-Tiger clash.

Sorley was the first Cornhusker to go down when he suffered bruised ribs in the second quarter. I.M. Hipp quickly followed when he aggravated a bruised thigh muscle. Other Nebraska players who were getting treatment after the game included: Tom Davis, bruised knee; Rick Berns, bruised hand, cut hand and cut chin: Kerry Wein-master. sprained ankle and Dodie Uonnell and Ken Spaeth bruised elbows.

but it hurts It hurts to breath, more to talk." just two of the many calls which seemed to have a big effect on the game." Coupled with Colorado's victory over Iowa State Saturday, Nebraska no longer needs help from anyone else to earn a clearout trip to the Orange Bowl. A victory over Kansas in Lincoln next weekend and a triumph in the annual shootout with Oklahoma the day after Thanksgiving will do the job. That still is a big order. First we've got to get by a good Kansas club." NU defensive coordinator Lance Van Zandt warns, while refusing to look ahead, "then we can get a couple of weeks rest before going down there (Morgan) for what is sure to be a real barnburner." Osborne said he felt the Huskers were "flat during the first half. They weren't playing with enough emotion.

We told them at intermission that nobody else was going to do it for them. The second half went a lot better, particularly the play of the defense. That goal line stand (which included the controversial pass to Winslow) was just great." The Husker head man felt the offense "missed far too many scoring opportunities. We had some inept plays and fumbles which hurt us." The Huskers Meeting set for officials word." He knew he should have gotten rid of the ball to allow the field goal try. "I'll kick myself all the way home," he said.

"It was just like the Washington State game. I wanted to see if a receiver could get open. I waited too long. The next thing I knew it was too late." On their second possession of the second half, the Huskers put together a sustained drive of 91 yards to take a lead they never lost. A tricky Garcia-to-Berns-to-Garcia series of handoffs, followed by a 37-yard pass to Kenny Brown highlighted the drive.

Garcia also found split end Tim Smith with a 23-yarder. Franklin's "touchdown" which was called back on the delay of game penalty followed. That forced Nebraska to settle for a 27-yard Todd field goal and a 12-10 lead. Before the third quarter was over Nebraska upped the margin to 15-10 on the 42-yard fielder by Todd following the clipping penalty against Mizzou on the The Huskers closed out the scoring on Berns' controversial touchdown with 7 minutes left. Woods' "incompletion" to Winslow came next before the wild afternoon was finished.

The crowd, the largest of the season here and the fifth-largest in Missouri history, included representatives from four bowl games the Liberty, Tangerine, Gator and Hall of Fame. It will be two weeks the Saturday when Nebraska is idle between the Kansas and Oklahoma games before the postseason classics can extend an invitation, however. Ted Harvey returned a Mizzou punt 42 yards to set up the game's first score, a 37-yard field goal by Todd to give the Huskers a 3-0 edge. That soon became 9-0. Tiger punter Monte Montgomery shanked a 6-yarder and the Huskers were in business at the Tiger 17.

Four plays later Berns banged in from a yard out, but Todd missed the first of two extra point boots. Early in the second stanza Missouri closed the gap to 9-3 on a 35-yard field goal by Jeff Brockhaus, then took a 10-9 lead after driving 80 yards in 10 plays. Before the intermission, however, Nebraska had a golden opportunity to take a lead to the dressing room. Linebacker Tom Vering partially blocked a Montgomery punt and the Huskers had the ball at the Mizzou 37 with 26 seconds remaining. Garcia completed a 24-yard pass to Berns to gain the 13 and easy chip shot distance for a Todd field goal.

There were just nine seconds left when third down time came and Nebraska had no more time outs remaining. Osborne called for one more pass attempt. But Garcia was sacked and time ran out. It was a decision that would have had Monday Morning Quarterback tongues wagging had Nebraska lost. "There was time for one pass into the end zone to try for the touchdown," Osborne said in defending the attempt.

"I spnt in word for Randy to unload the ball out of the end zone if he couldn't find a receiver. I guess he didn't get the word. Maybe I got greedy." Garcia admitted he didn't need "the There will be an officials meeting Sunday at 7. p.m. at Irving Recreation Center, for anyone interested in officiating mens or womens basketball.

It's a small price to pay for the product. Just three weeks ago today, more than 31,000 fans paidj stiffer admissions to watch 13 gymnasts perform in two exhibitions at cavernous Chicago Stadium. 1 Omaha South's Jim Hartung and Phil Cahoy were onei fourth of the American delegation on the program, headlined by Romania's Nadia Comaneci, the queen of the 1976 Olympics in Montreal.

Hartung and Cahoy. two of the United States' strongest hopes for the '80 Olympics in Moscow, will perform as preps for the last time together in the Sports Complex. Being world class athletes, they deserve support next weekend, even though they are not expecting it not when only 100 watched them perform in Class A district competition last Tuesday at Omaha Northwest. "That's more than we got for the Metro championships though." points out Hartung, who will be seeking his third straight state all-around championship in South's pursuit for i third straight team title. As important as Chicago No matter how many show up to watch Hartung and Cahoy, the two will be primed to perform in nothing less than championship style.

"This meet means as much to me as Chicago because it's the last of my high school career," says Hartung, a 5-foot-4'2; inch, 130-pound, 17-year-old senior. "We're working on some new stuff," adds Cahoy, a 5-foot-10-inch, 140-pound 16-year-old junior. "But mainly, we just want to clean up what we have. If we can get a 10 (a perfect score), that should get the crowd to buzzing as much as something sensationally new." Cahoy achieved that gymnastic gem with a 10 in the parallel bars at district, duplicating the feat he had accomplished in the same event five days before in the Metro. "It means a lot to a gymnast," he says, "because you know nobody can go higher.

The worst you can do is tie forfirgt place." A crowd means a lot, too, admit the Packer standouts, who have performed together in international competition in South, Africa and New Zealand and national meets in Boulder, Philadelphia and Memphis. "The more people in the stands, the more excited you are to perform," Cahoy says. "Part of the fun of competing is the excitement you create for the fans." Has learned to compensate Hartung, a former national Junior Olympic champion in Ithaca, N.Y., also values the motivating forces of a crowd. But competing in Nebraska, he's learned to compensate for the lack of one. "Gymnastics just hasn't caught on in Nebraska like it has in Illinois, for instance," Hartung says.

"It's getting bigger with more clubs starting up here. "But it takes an Olympic champion to really get people charged up about the sport. Look what Olga Korbut did. And Nadia she's the best advertisement this sport's ever had." Cahoy believes male gymnasts will never be able to capture the, hearts of the fans in a similar fashion "because men just aren't going to project that darling image that a little girl can project. People still look at male gymnasts like they look at weightlifters." Hartung, this country's leading candidate for the World Games in France in '78 according to the experts, disagrees.

"Maybe." he says, "there will be a male symbol for gymnastics in a couple years His voice trails off and he doesn't finish the sentence. He's hoping others finish it for him when the time comes. do (u) E) fl i-lLJb or'Poweronlce I jj Gas-saving radial construction, smooth-riding polyester cord body Longshot steds limelight JlmSLA- Ld I I TJ 7 I ffl kj -'i i i ji belts lor strength and 11 I ir Lf Double steel cord belts lor strength and long Specially compounded tread rubber tor low temperature flexibility, and traction Scurf Bar helps protect whlla- rail, annular curb re. 33 whitw.ii I piu7 Fits fflWH and Site MMly old tire P19575R14 ER78-14 $53.00 $2.38 P20575R14 FR78-14 S57.00 $2.44 P21575R14 GR78-14 S59.00 $2.61 P22575R14 HR78-14 $64.00 $2.82 P20575R15 FR78-15 $59.00 $2.68 P21575R15 GR78-15 $61.00 $2.68 P22575R15 HR78-15 $66.00 $312 P23575R15 LR78-15 S71.00 $3 20 vantage of the seven-pound weight allowance and sent Johnny D. charging past a tiring field to take the lead with a quarter mile to go.
