But he suffered the same thing during spring practice and it is not necessarily serious." The Tigers also played much of the game without defensive tackle Rocky Wallace, an all-Big Eight selection two years ago as a sophomore, after he aggravated an old injury. "But it was a good football team that beat us out there today," he assured his post-game listeners. "Our guys, played as well as they can play and it wasn't good enough to win." Dapper Dan, who had beaten Nebraska the last three times out, admitted that "our defense actually played better than we had any right to expect." What was the turning point that broke open a tight 7-7 contest in the fourth quarter? key plays," Devine answered, "but we had three fumbles at that stage of the game and you can't do that and expect to Deat a good football team." Devine agreed the most crucial of the bobbles came when Mike Fink dropped the fair catch of a Nebraska punt. Someone suggested that Fink wasn't given the room allowed by the rules to make the reception.

"You said that, I didn't," Devine replied in obvious agreement, "but I do say that there aren't many football players alive who could have made that catch." The Tiger mentor observed that "there were a lot of big plays, though, and that was just one of them." Another, he thought, was Mizzou By VIRGIL PARKER The Missouri dressing room, took on the appearance of the emergency ward at General Hospital after the Tigers slam-bang football clash with the Nebraska Cornhuskers a Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon. The walking 'wounded were much in evidence. And though most people were wondering about linebacker Roger Yanko, who was taken from the battlefield on a stretcher, it was the injury to running back Joe Moore which may prove the most serious to Mizzou's gridiron hopes. The fourth time Moore carried the ball in the first quarter he was involved in a head-on collision with Cornhusker defensive tackle Dave Walline. Missouri head coach Dan Devine says that Moore, who was the third leading rusher in the nation last season, "is out for the year with a complete shoulder separation." fx Vj 1 jlmiMt rJ Mill Photos by Bob Gork'am Web Ray Willis Van Sickle Harald Dreimanis Randy Hampton 1 John Hennings Murtaugh Leads NU in Tackles Co-captain Jerry Murtaugh again set the pace for the Corn-husker Black Shirts Saturday as he had six unassisted tackles and five assists along with a pass interception against Missouri.

"That just wasn't consistent with the tone of the game," Devine insisted. "It was a good, sound football game until then. But that was not a sound move." Devine said that "I'm finding fault with some of the things we did without congratulating Nebraska. When we looked bad it was usually because theyf made us look that way. I Nebraska had some guys in there that our kids just couldn't handle.
