Interception Helps Don't Blame Schedule-Makers Thousands of words were written three and four years ago about Mississippi and its "skimmed milk" schedule that kept the Rebels high in the national rankings. Some of those who were contributing to the volume of words on the subject were Nebraska writers, who now must defend the same charges, once thrown at Mississippi, that are now being tossed in the Cornhusker laps. Any attempts at, disproving the claims are futile since figures show that the Husker schedule is weak.

Nebraska's non-conference foes show a 6-13-2 record for the season. Michigan State's non-league opponents are 6-5-1 and Arkansas' two non-conference foes have a 7-7 record. And playing conference games against like Kansas State and Oklahoma State do little for national prestige. No One to Blame But you can't blame the Fred Dudas, the Frank So-liches, the Mike Kennedys or the Freeman Whites for the schedule. Neither can you blame Bob Devaney, Mike Cor-gan, George Kelly or any of the other NU coaches.

The schedule was handed them and they have to show up. That leaves only the schedule-makers to blame. But you can't even blame them since if they could know what the opponent is going to be like five years from now, they could make more money doing things other than running athletic departments. This year's schedule was the final one formulated by Bill Orwig before he left Nebraska for a similar job at Indiana. This year's schedule was made in 1959 and 1960.

In 1959, two of the teams on this year's Husker schedule appeared in post-season bowl games with Wisconsin losing to Washington, 44-8, in the Rose Bowl and TCU losing to Clemson, 23-7, in the Bluebonnet Bowl. The Air Force (5-4-1), TCU (8-2) and Wisconsin (7-2) all had winning records in 1959. To show how fast college football fortunes can change, none had a winning record the next season with Air Force dropping to 4-6, Wisconsin slipping to 4-5 and TCU falling to 4-4-2. The records of this year's Nebraska non-conference foes in 1959 are better than those offered by Michigan State or Arkansas in the same period. Air Force, Wisconsin and TCU had a 20-8-1 record in 1959 and 12-15-2 in 1960.

This year's Michigan State foes UCLA, Penn State and" "Notre Dame had 18-11-1 records in 1959 and 15-18-1 in "I960. Arkansas' non-league opponents were 14-6 in 1959 -and 7-11-1 in 1960. What Can You Do? So what can you do in this situation? The only thing "the Dennis Carlsons, Lynn Senkbeils, Harry Wilsons and Bill Johnsons can do is give their best, something that all have done. If beating Kansas State, 41-0, Wisconsin, 37-0, Iowa State, 44-0, and Colorado, 38-13, isn't enough, there isn't much more you can do except prove your mettle by com-ing from 14 points behind to beat Missouri, 16-14. You can't fault the players, coaches nor the administrators on the schedule.

They are merely victims of the football clock which this year has turned with Air Force, TCU and Wisconsin at the 5 o'clock mark rather than at 12 o'clock.

LP) Cin cinnati jumped to a big lead on the running of 210-pound Bill Bailey and held off a spir ited Kansas State comeback led by sophomore quarter back Mike White for a 21-14 football victory Saturday. Cincinnati seemed headed for an a victory when Bailey's 80-yard touchdown run midway in the second quarter made it 21-3. But the 5-foot-9 inch 162- pound White led a 64-yard drive from the second half kickoff with' a 46-yard run.

K-State was stopped but Jerry Cook kicked a 27-yard field goal. The fired-up Wildcats quick- got the ball back and drove 66 yards inl2playsfora touchdown with White hitting two passes and Henry Howard and Charlie Cottle making good yardage. Cottle scored from the two and White's two-point pass end Rick Balducci made it 21-14. Kansas State had two more chances on a fumble re- covery by Willie Jones and pass interception by Vince Borota at the Bearcat 42, and 25, respectively. But the Bearcat defense stopped them cold both times.

Wilson cracked through for six, Kirkland bulled for three, Duda got four for a first and goal at the six before Wilson was tackled for a four-yard setback. But the KU jubilation lasted only seconds as Duda picked up seven on the option, then handed off to Gregory, who followed AUers into the end zone with 20 seconds left in the first stanza. Nebraska's feelings for Kansas were shown midway in the second quarter when the Huskers chose to go for a first down on a fourth and inches to go situation at their own 13-yard line. With the partisan fans cheering the daring move, Duda handed off to Solich who squirted for two yards behind Tony Jeter and Allers.

Then showing a rare bit of fancy-dan, Duda passed to Freeman White, who later-aled to Wilson on a play that picked up 20 yards.

LB Missouri's Gary Lane blended his quarterback magic with the Tigers' sturdy defensive platoon for a 20-7 Big Eight football victory over Colorado Saturday, nailing down second place in the conference and a possible bowl bid. Lane, faking and running or passing on the plays that produced two touchdowns, capped his performance with a lS-yard scoring rnn midway of the fourth quarter. Earlier the ninth-ranked Missouri's defenders stole one pass for a touchdown and killed two Colorado scor-inghreats with goal-line interceptions. Two minutes after Colora do received the opening kick- off Missouri struck for a quick touchdown on Ken Boston's 38-yard interception run.

rne liuffs pulled, even at 7-7 with an 80-yard touchdown march in the first five min utes of the second quarter. slammed over left guard for the TD. Missouri regained the lead 13-7 on an 80-yard drive capped by Lane's two-yard pass to Earl Denny in the ena zone. Dick Bernsen's point after touchdown kick was low. Gary Grossnickle's two in terceptions of McCall passes, one in the end zone late in the second quarter and another at the goal line midway in the third period nipped Colorado scormg drives.

After Boston's interception gave Missouri its first touch down, Charles Greer returned the ensuing kickoff to Colorado's 26 and eight plays later the Buffaloes were on the Missouri 38 with fourth down and four to go. Colorado faked a field goal with McCall holding, and he passed to Harris on the Mis souri 15. Harris charged to ward the goal but fumbled the ball and it was recovered on the three to end that threat. The Buffaloes' first touch. down started on Greer's 11 yard punt return to the Color ado 20.

They needed 17 plays to go the rest of the way for the score. Besides McCall's 22-vard pass to Lewark, the Colorado quarterback hit Lar ry Plantz on a lu-yara une to pick up most of the. yard age. On the next kickotf cnarue Brown returned the ball to the 20 to set off the tiebreaking touchdown drive. On the first play Brown rambled 33 yards around right ena ana more ground plays moved the n- gers down to the Colorado two.

Then Lane tossed a scoring pass to Denny.

Churchich, Gregory, Win ters and Solich drive the ball at will down the field with the biggest gains being a 13-yarder by Gregory and a 12-yard rush by Churchich on the option. The scoring was wrapped up four plays later after Kaye Carstens intercepted a Fenton pass at the Kansas 34 on third down and ran it back to the KU seven. Winters then got his sixth touchdown of the season on the first play after the in terception and 24 seconds still remained in the third period when Wachholtz kicked his sixth straight conversion, tying the NU record. Devaney then turned the Husker chores over to the end of the bench and left the statisticians with the toughest job of the daygetting all the ball carriers on the rushing sheet. Fourteen different ball carriers handled the ball for the Huskers and all 14 had a rushing total behind their names.

Kirkland was the leader with 147 yards on 10 carries, all of them in the first half. Len Janik gave an indication of Husker depth this season. The sophomore who went to the same Chicago high school as Duda came through with several key stops of the KU quarterback. Janik rammed into the Kansas backfield to throw Fenton for losses of two, 10, and 10 yards during the onesided contest. The Chicago sophomore started the season far down in the fullback ranks and is the sixth defensive end to come out of the Husker stockpile with a top performance.

Three plays later Duda passed to White, who was slanting toward the center of the field in the end zone from the 13-yard line for a 21-0 Husker bulge with 4:47 left in the half. Kansas picked up its only score following the third NU touchdown, driving 80 yards in 13 plays, crossing the NU goal with 27 seconds left in the first half. A 21-yard pass from quarterback Bill Fenton to Sim Stokes and a 19-yarder from Fenton to Richard Abernathy gobbled up the biggest chunks against the Husker Black Shirts.

Fenton finally drove over the two-yard line. The final three Husker tallies came the first, three times Nebraska gained possession in the second half. Nebraska drove 74 yards with the second half kick-off in 15 plays that consumed six minutes and 11 seconds. The biggest gainer ground game eating up 299 yards, scored in every period and appeared headed for a rout when the Sooners marched into a 17-0 lead in the third quarter. Tailback Ben Hart and Jon Kennedy scored ou short runs capping drives, and Ron Shotts booted a 35-yard field goal.

Van Galder, who had overshot Busch three times in the first half and had a touchdown pass called back on a penalty, found Busch in the open and hit him on a 1 1-executed 82-yard play. Iowa State got the ball right back and moved from its own 39 to score, helped along by Van Galder's 17-yard scamper to the 15-yard line and a personal foul against Oklahoma.

The a i of the yardage was gained on the ground with Wilson carrying the final 10 yards, getting a block from Jeter that sprung him into the end zone untouched.

Nebraska started another drive after throwing Kansas Jrom its 20 to the 10 in three plays, forcing an out of bounds punt at the Husker 42. This march took 11 plays, all on the ground except for the touchdown play, an eight-yard pass from Bob Churchich that Dennis Rich- 24-20 State from the one, and the Oklahoma lead was cut to 17-14. The Sooners took the ensuing kickoff and marched quickly for the clinching touchdown, going 70 yards in 16 ground plays for the score, collected by Hart on a 4-yard run. Iowa State collected its fi nal touchdown a few minutes later after Cal Lewis returned a punt 35 yards to the 32. Van Galder then hit King fo- the score.

(UPI)-Ok- lahoma survived a second- half Iowa State explosion Saturday to nip the Cyclones, 24-20, in a hectic Big Eight Con ference football game.

Quarterback Tim Van alder rallied Iowa State to three touchdowns in the last half, but it was not enough to catch the fired-up Sooners, who played their best game of the season. Van Galder fired two touchdown "bombs," hitting Tom Busch for 82 yards and Gary King for 32, and set up third score with a 17-yard run. But a gallant goal-line stand by, Oklahoma on the one-foot line and a nullified scoring pass, both in the second quarter, had enabled the Sooners to roar to a 17-0 lead, and it was too much for the Cyclones to surmouni.
