After the game, Osborne accepted a bid to play in the Sunkist Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, on New Year's Day. The Cornhuskers' opponent will be once-beaten Florida State, No. 4 in last week's rankings.

"We're probably going to have to play one of the two best teams left (in the nation)," said Osborne. "We'll have a heck of a test." First, however, Nebraska must play Colorado next Saturday in Boulder. "I'm a little concerned right now," he said Maybe with good reason. "This is Colorado's bowl game, so to speak," McBride sail Cornhusker defensive end Broderick Thomas, who first called Memorial Stadium "our house," has done a lot of speaking about the Oklahoma game. Someone asked if he thought his talking was a factor in the loss.

"If it was me, I apologize," said a subdued Thomas. "Our team gave 100 percent. I'm not going to make any excuses. We lost the football game." Taylor was intercepted three times and completed only six of 18 passes for 58 yards. He ran for 54 yards on 18 carries.

But "when you go against a good defense and you're not controlling the line of scrimmage, it's very difficult to play quarterback," said Osborne. Because of its inability to run the ball, Nebraska "got to the point where we had to start throwing," he said Thanks to Oklahoma miscues, the seven points held up until early in the second half, when the Sooners' turned a Rickey Dixon interception and 24-yard return to the Nebraska 13 into a touchdown. On the second play, Anthony Stafford scored from 11 yards away, his longest run of the afternoon. Stafford has run the 40-yard dash in 4.35 seconda Thompson and Collins have :04.4 speed in the 40, according to Jim Donnan, Oklahoma's offensive coordinator. Therein lies the problem.

"Their speed beat us," McBride said. "They have superior speed. You could see that. We had kids there, and they just broke through little cracks." Jamrog agreed. "A couple of times we the Legislature discusses the larger question of who should pay for such care.

Omaha hospitals began gathering indigent care information in mid-1986; This year, the system was extended to three hospitals in Lincoln and eight In other Nebraska communities. The data showed the 19 hospitals logged 663 patients they thought met the' definition of medically indigent "It's our opinion that figure of 663 is artificially low," Thomas said As hospi tals get more experience with the sys-tem, the patient total can be expected to go up, he said Thomas said the hospital survey system showed that indigent patients are getting care. They're not being turned away," he said. Hospitals in some communities are: county-sponsored, and the cost of indi-' gent care is included in its county subsidy, he said OMAHA (AP) Providing hospital care for the medically indigent might cost Nebraska counties more than $10 million a year, a Nebraska Hospital Association spokesman said About $4 million of that would be in Douglas County, said Arnold "Chip" Thomas. He made his estimates Friday after testifying at a public hearing on indigent care held by the Legislature's Health and Welfare Committee.

The estimates were based on preliminary information gathered from an association system that collects data on hospitalization for medically indigent people people at or below federal poverty guidelines who do not qualify for existing health coverage programs. He cautioned that survey figures are based on only three months experience at 19 of Nebraska's 100 hospitals. The dollar size of the indigent care problem in Nebraska is a key issue as said "It's just supply and demand basic economics." Even Santa got into the act. Steve Everitt of Omaha dressed as Saint Nick and stood outside the stadium. "Please, Santa, give me two tickets," one woman said shyly.

Santa wasn't that generous. Mike Flanagin, 24, of Lincoln said he had bought two tickets for $50 and a friend had bought two for $60. Flanagin said he still needed two more before the game started. He said the offers had ranged from $50 to as high as $300. John Walter, 26, drove from Kansas City, to sell his tickets.

"I ain't making nothing on it What I'm wanting is $100, but I'm getting nothing," Walter said He said he had paid $20 apiece for the three tickets. "I haven't sold them, but let me tell you something: Before game time, these will be sold," Walter said confidently. Half an hour after the kickoff, Walter was nowhere to be found By the time Nebraska had its first-quarter lead, the sidewalks leading to the stadium were mostly clear, but about 100 people still lingered in front of the southwest stadium entrance waiting for scalpers to panic and the ticket prices to drop. No such luck. Scalpers were still asking $75 a ticket, but few fans were biting.

Some fans paid $40. One Iowa Hawkeye fan asked $150 apiece for his two tickets. While fans scoffed and laughed, he threatened to go in and see the game if he couldn't sell them. Some fans shouted "Good luck!" ByAIJ. Laukaitis Wall Street moved to Memorial Stadium Saturday.

Tickets to the Nebraska-Oklahoma football game, the most sought after and most scarce Nebraska commodity for weeks, remained that way up to and even after Saturday's kickof f. Outside the gates and along nearby streets, potential buyers outnumbered ticketholders willing to sell, but many ticketholders seeking huge profits found the market wasnt there. Many fans acknowledged paying $25 to $100 for the $18.50 tickets; some people were seen paying more, but would not admit so afterward Fans walked toward the stadium with fingers raised or small signs held high: "Wanted -2 tickets." HI need two (tickets), but 1 can't afford no hundred bucks," said Joe Chavez, 24, who said he drove from Denver to see the game. "I'm willing to pay thirty bucks or I'll watch it on TV." Chavez had been standing near Ninth and streets for three hours. Up the street, Chip Williams, 35, of Lincoln sat in the back of his red and white 1953 Chevrolet pickup with a sign asking to buy two tickets.

He had been begging for a ticket since 8 a.m. and had had plenty of offers all way above his budget "One hundred dollars? I'm not paying that. I'm trying to get one for $25 or $30," Williams said "I'll guess I'll be watching it on TV." A middle-aged Omaha man, dressed in NU regalia, said he had been offered tickets for as low as $55 and as high as $140. "It's just what the market bears," he From Taggares Noteworthy The proposed potato output contract; with Quaker Oats would cause the farming division to suffer even more losses, she said, because the contract price': would be less than what Chef-Reddy has been paying. build a potato processing plant in Nebraska; and Quaker Oats' requirement that it employ Ms.

Among appropriate gifts: socks, washable slippers, cotton underwear, soft candies or cookies in containers, robes, night Ms. Taggares also disputed the validity of the promissory note. She said she had signed it because P.J. Taggares Sr. told her that she would never be required to pay it and that if she did not sign it she would be fired and never receive any benefit from her interest as a shareholder in the company.

From pagelA Fans- be nice for him to win one. "But it was a good football game and somebody has got to win and somebody has got to lose." Zajicek said he wasn't going to let the loss ruin his day. "I'm still going to go out and eat and have a good time," he said "It's just a football game." In the southwest corner of the stadium, where most of the Oklahoma fans were seated, Chris Trapp of Oklahoma City found "some semblance of balance" in the outcome. "It's only appropriate that it worked out this way because Nebraska beat us in our park and it's only fair we came up here and beat them in their park," she said, referring to Nebraska's 35-31 win in Norman in the so-called Game of the Century in 1971. Saturday's game had been billed Game of the Century II.

1 was at the 1971 game. It was more exciting in 1971 when we were behind to catch up all the time," said -Dick Lowry, 49, of Vinita, Okla. "This was a wonderful win. Nebraska had liibout convinced us that they were going beat us." I': Lowry, sporting a red cap with the phrase "Nebraska Was No. 1," said some' thought he was crazy to drive 320 -miles to see Oklahoma play.

Other fans said they almost didn't come after last week's media blitz. 'The media had us so scared that we were afraid to come up here," said Rick Webb of Oklahoma City. "We almost didn't come." Some of the 5,000 OU fans expressed surprise at the Sooners' win. "I really didnt think we'd win," Trapp said "It's like what we've become fond of saying: 'It's fourth quarter Sooner Other OU fans said they had been confident about the game's outcome. "HelL I knew they (the Sooners) were going to win all the time.

I had no doubt I wouldn't have come all this way for defeat" said Rick Henderickson of Checo-talLOkla. "It was close. It was the kind of game we expected," said Tom VanKiersbilck of Shawnee, Kan. "We came out on top. I think we beat a great football team.

Our boys just stuck it out" VanKeirsbilck, whose son, Mark, plays backup center for the Sooners, said the NU fans were awfully quiet this year. "They didn't have much to shout about this year. I think they were a little tight-mouthed," he said "I think their keys ('Keys to Our House' sported by many NU fans) will be for the outhouse." Most OU fans had high praise for NU fans, although fans of both teams fired verbal assaults at each other throughout the game. One OU fan called Memorial Stadium the "Nebraska Jungle." However, OU fan Lanny Ross, 52, of Clinton, Okla. best summed up the rivalry between Nebraska and Oklahoma when he said: "Nebraska and Oklahoma don't put each other down and I think that's great And I hope it stays that way." fin, wtat inn it The Cottonwood Club is the fun place for serious exercise.
