"Those were awfully good holes the line was opening up," fullback Pete Tatman said wiht a big grin. "They were beautiful." All the way across the front LaVerne Allers, Kelly Peterson, Jim Os-berg, Bob Pickens and Gary Brichacek the Husker backs found running room Saturday. And Harry Wilson complimented mates Ben Gregory and Tatman for some super blocking, too.

Wilson seemed to spring to life in the third "They had been keeping us from going wide wide," Harry said, "but Ben and Pete, got to-making some good blocks and it was wide open running." Harry, who went out of the game for a time, said while running down field trying to get a block he caught a heel on the side of the head. He didn't mind. Like all other the Steubenville Stomper pointed out how high the Huskers were. "We'd been hearing all week about how Missouri was going to beat us," he aid. Harry also said the good weather to practice in all week was a factor.

"Nobody got tired," he said Wayne Meylan had a big red mark on his arm where he said he was kicked while trying to block the kick which resulted in a 15-yard penalty on Nebraska. "Today was the best team effort both offensively and defensively I've seen since I've been mere," Meylan enthused. "We know we're capable of playing like this and it's about time we were doing it." Meylan and, his aides up front made things easy for Wachholtz and Carstens in the backfield, the two secondary players chorused. "Our defensive line played a great part in it," -Carstens said of the pass defense which almost completely shut off the Tigers through the air and came iiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiniiiiiii Photos by 1 Bob Gorham 1 I Web Ray Willis Van Sickle 1 Harald DreimanisPi Jim Palmer mlllilllllllllllllllUllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllll iiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiuiiiitiijiiif Churchich is pinned down, il Gregory meets pitches a lateral to Ben Gregory '-111 i I vlj Nebraska Sf 'M Mm'Mlm J2 LvX second quarter. a Tiger reception committee (2), blasts through Nebraska-Missouri Lineups up two pass interceptions the one by Car stens and the other by Wachholtz.

"Our line was penetrating and it sure helps when that quarterback doein't have time to run around back there and look for receivers," Kaye said. Kaye almost got a touch-down on his interception, but was nailed from behind. "Langston Coleman or somebody was ahead of me," he said, "and I was waiting for a block. I slowed a little maybe too much, I should have gone to the sidelines. "I was smelling that goal line," he smiled.

Gregory was, of course, another of the "big effort" guys. He scored two touchdowns and both times knocked people down to there. "Something just turns you on," he said of those sltua-tions when you're about to get tackled. Something turned the en-. tire group on Saturday.

But it didn't turn any heads. "We've still got (thre tough games to play," Tatman said. "Touchdownt If -Mr Ends: Marty Berg, Jim Judd.

In football pulls, it's another And nothing typified Nebraska's rousing 35-0 victory over Missouri Saturday than the football pull defensive halfback Kaye Car-stens had with Missouri end Chuck Weber when the Fairbury Flyer intercepted a pass and returned it to the seven-yard line to set up the fourth touchdown.

"He was pulling on it and I was pulling on it," Kaye said with a grin. "I just gave it that last one big effort and finally got It." The "one big effort" was the story as far as the fired up Cornhuskers were concerned. Quarterback Bob Churchich said he had never been in a game where everything went so perfectly and co-captain Larry Wachholtz said: "It was the best team effort we've ever had. Usually it's the offense or the defense playing well. Today everyone did." Probably the most delighted group, if there could be a separation among th three tacklers (3, 4) and jn in.
