Sukup's crucial PAT (it gave the Huskers a nine-point lead) completed the scoring. "After that, they would have had to score twice to beat us," Van Zandt said. "If we could avoid a complete breakdown I figured we were okay then." Lindquist ended any final K-State hopes with his third theft and the Huskers survived. "We made way too many mistakes," Miller said in an understatement Linebacker Tom Vering agreed.

"We've got to hitch it up in our last two games or well never reach our goal of an unbeaten season and a trip to the Orange BowL" been in a lot of trouble if we'd lost that one." The Huskers moved to the K-State 32, but turned the ball back when a fourth-and-one try by Redwine failed. After Dickey completed a 19-yarder and appeared to have the Wildcats on the move once more, Lindquist picked off his second pass. But at the K-Stafe 11, following a 40-yard gallop by Franklin, Hager (who had returned because Quinn had an equipment problem and was temporarily out of the game) was hit from behind, lost the ball and KSU recovered. The Wildcats returned the favor on the very next play. Bill Barnett pounced on the bobble at the KSU 15.

A 30-yard halfback pass by Daryl Black and two Dickey aerials good for 18 and 17 yards, got the ball in position for LJ. Brown's one-yard TD plunge. What later loomed as a big play followed.

The Wildcats completed a two-point conversion pass play but were penalized for illegal procedure. The second attempt failed. The Huskers finally took advantage of a K-State fumble with eight minutes left in the third quarter. Redwine cmae in for the first time and the Huskers perked up. Quinn, who had taken over for starting quarterback Tim Hager, passed to tight end Junior Miller for a nine-yard gain and Redwine ran for a first down at the three.

Tim Wurth, at fullback, skipped in on the next play and Sukup's kick made it 14-12." Late in the third quarter, Dave Liegl was returning a' K-State punt when the ball popped high in the air. Jeff Krejci looked like a basketball rebounder when he went high in the air to capture the loose ball. "That was as big a play as there was in the game," Van Zandt felt. "We could have NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -Billy Sims rushed for 128 yards and scored one touchdown and tackle John Goodman highlighted a devastating Oklahoma defense with a 56-yard touchdown run with a midair fumble recovery as the Sooner whipped Kansas, 38-0, in a Big Eight football game Saturday Kansas could manage only 37 yards on the ground and was unable to cross the 50-yard line until the 11:24 mark in the fourth quarter.

The victory didnt begin easily for the sixth-ranked Sooners, who led only 3-0 after the first quarter on Mike Reeling's 30-yard field goal and 10-0 at the half on a four-year run by quarterback J.C. Watts. But Oklahoma pushed ahead 17-0 in the third quarter on a one-yard plunge by Sims, the nation's leading scorer, then exploded for 21 fourth-quarter points that began when Goodman picked the ball out of the air after reserve Kansas quarterback Kevin Clinton lost control of it at the Oklahoma 44. Reeling's kick made it 24 0. Backup quarterback Kelly Phelps scored on a one-yard plunge and Darrell Shepard, a former Houston signal-caller seeing his first duty as a Sooner, raced 60 yards on his second possession to complete the scoring.

Despite getting favorable field position for much of the contest, the Sooners who hurt themselves with several untimely penalties and turnovers had little success running wide against the rugged defense.

The Huskers almost didn't have Ricky Simmons' 13-yard touchdown run either. Even after he arrived at Nebraska, Mason's talents were almost exported to Baylor. And Simmons was thinking strongly of transferring to Tulsa during the early part of the season. 1 ji i- The Greenville, Texas, teammates, who also share a room on the fourth floor of Abel Hall, were confused, semi-depressed young men two months ago.

Bowl Game wins race LAUREL, Md. (AP) -Greentree Stable's Bowl Game took the lead for good with a about an eighth of a mile left and held off late-charging Trillion of France Saturday in winning the $200,000 Washington, D.C.

International at Laurel to virtually capture the North American grass championship. The triumph in the l'-mile turf classic was the 5-year-old gelding's fourth straight win this year. Ridden by Jorge Velasquez, Bowl Game carried 127 pounds over a course made soft by overnight and morning rains in 2:51, the slowest time ever for the 28 runnings of the race. Bowl Game scored by three-quarters of a length over Trillion, 124, a 5-year-old mare who was competing in her fourth stakes in three weeks. Trillion, who was ridden by Jeff Fell, finished a nose in front of France's Le Marmot, 120, who was sent off as the 8-5 favorite by a crowd of 20,142.

Bowl Game, who is trained by Jack Gaver returned $9.20, $5.20 and $2.80 as the third betting choice in an eight-horse field. Trillion, owned by Americans Edward Stephenson and Nelson Bunker Hunt, paid $8 and $3.80. Le Marmot, owned by Rodolf Schafer of Switzerland, returned $3.20. Golden, of the United States, the chief rival ef Bowl Game for the North American grass title, finished fifth and had a three-race winning streak snapped. Fourth was France's Son of Love II.

Following Golden Act were Waya, a French mare representing the United States; Native Courier, of the United States; and Dom Alaric, of Canada. Native Courier set the pace and led through the final turn, but the field was closely bunched all, the way. Bowl Game moved into the lead briefly after the turn for home, surrendered it, then moved ahead again at the eighth pole. Golden Act, the second choice, faded after being in good position on the outside under Sandy Hawley with a about half mile Once Bowl Game took the lead in the deep stretch, he held off the hard-charging Kentucky-bred Trillion while Le Marmot was in the hunt but just couldn't the match the top two. Bowl Game's victory was the 14th for the United States and brought the host county even after 28 Internationals.

The win was worth $120,000, boosting Bowl Game's career earnings to $896,893. Ma rrr 21, UNIRQYAL "I began to believe that Nebraska would never play a black quarterback," Mason said. "I began to believe that I was too small to play in the big time," said Simmons, who's 5-10 and 165. Stargell, Blair roomies Mason has never doubted his ability. The only son of John and Claudia Mason, he grew up around big time competition.

His father spent eight years in minor league baseball. "His first year in Rochester, N.Y., his roommate was Willie Stargell," Nate said. John Mason finally made it to the big leagues, playing two years as a utility infielder for the Baltimore Orioles. "I went to the ball park every day when I was six and seven years old," Nate recalled. "1 got to sit in the dugout before and sometimes during the game.

Next to my father, my favorite player was Paul Blair because he was my father's roommate both years on the road." John Mason now works for the post office in Greenville. Claudia is a telephone operator there. Simmons parents are both school teachers. Clyde teaches junior high history and math in Garland, Texas, and Bertha is a remedial reading specialist in Caddo Mills. I "They don't put up with bad grades," Ricky said "That's the first thing they ask me every time they call.

Football is important, but it always comes second." Ricky never told his parents he was thinking of transfer- He and Nate took their problem to head Coach Tom Osborne. "He told us we were making a mistake, but he never promised us anything," Simmons said. "I was mad because I wasn't getting a shot at varsity quarterback," Mason said. "Now, I'm glad I didnt I could have gotten hurt real bad, not knowing what I was supposed to do. Besides, I needed to grow up." Quiet, hard workers With their freshmen seasons behind them, Nate Mason and Ricky Simmons are ready to settle down for a long winter of hard work.

"We both have cars, but we didn't bring them to Lincoln," Mason said. "Our parents told us we didn't need cars.
