Stewart, Nissen Thrash Nevada ushers in Record 116 71 1 half to finish 16-24 and take sole possession of the old single game record of 14 field goals he had shared with Herschell Turner and Harold Cebrun. "They gave me the corner and I didn't mind it a bit," smiled Stewart. "This was the first, time we've put together two good halves. Everybody was stressing at halftime (Nebraska led 52-31) that we had to get another good one. "We got quite a few fast breaks going and this hasn't been the case before.

We're a running team, but we can play it slower if we have to," he said. In a search for more i It A-Jf 18fiK 4 'Si vv js Ratings QU Darkhorse Sllllfflc Tb ITT 1m.

"I thought Stewart and Jura were outstanding. They shot well and played unselfishly.

Nissen had a great floor game," he added. Stewart had six assists and sophomores Riehl and Tom Gregory five apiece as the Cornhuskers cut up the Nevada defense. Peterson enjoyed one of his better nights with 13 points and 10 rebounds. The big lefthander put the Cornhuskers at the century mark with 5:15 re. maining as he canned his sixth field goal in seven attempts.

x. MSB ft I -'it i By DON FORSYTHE There were several scoring records which were easily identifiable in the wake of Nebraska's 116-71 rout of the University of Nevada at Reno Monday night. Marvin Stewart's 16 field goals, the team's 51 field goals and 116 total points were quickly documented as new Cornhusker records. Nobody knows for certain if Al Nissen also earned a spot in the record book, but nobody was betting against his 15 assists being the best performance ever by a Cornhusker in that category. "That just has to be a record," beamed Nebraska coach Joe Cipriano, who had given the Miller, S.D., junior his first start of the season against the Wolf Pack.

1'It doesn't matter if you start or not," Nissen claimed. "But it is a little harder to come off the bench and adjust." The 6-3 veteran also contributed 12 points and eight rebounds to the Cornhusker effort against the obviously outman-ned visitors. "We moved the ball well tonight," explained Nissen. "And once we start moving the ball we're tough." None of the 5,350 fans on hand at the Coliseum would argue that point. And none would take issue with another Nissen observation: "Marvin (Stewart) is really a shooter.

It's a sure assist when you give it to Marvin." No doubt about it, Marvin was marvelous Monday night. He had only two points in the first 10 minutes as 6-10 Chuck Jura carried the early scoring load. At halftime he had 11. Then the Cnicago senior really started connecting from close range at the tail end of a sizzling fast break and from the corners against the zone defense which was collapsed around Jura.

Hitting a blistering .617 from the field the Cornhuskers topped the 100 mark for only the fifth time in their 73 seasons of play. The previous high of 111 was registered three seasons ago against California State of Fullerton. The 51 field goals easily shattered the old mark of 44 scored against Missouri in 1967. The final 45-point margin was the greatest Nebraska victory spread since Jumbo Stiehm's 1913-14 team ripped Cotner College, 56-11. Outside Practice For NU After three days of indoor workouts, Nebraska's Orange Bowl-bound football team got outside to practice in Memorial Stadium Monday.

It was a brisk, chilly workout, prompting head coach Bob Devaney to be poetic as he left the playing field: "Oh, somewhere in this favored land, the sun is shining bright; The band is playing somewhere and somewhere hearts are light Devaney recalled the lines from Casey at the Bat as he noted, "it sure does get chilly when the sun drops down behind the stadium." Devaney observed that the first look at Louisiana State's game films produced no great surprises. "They're just as tough as we thought," he said. "Anybody who can go to South Bend and play Notre Dame like they did has to be a pretty good football team," he said. Devaney characterized the Tigers as being "a good all-around team with good balance and certainly the best defensive team we've faced this year. "This is a good-sized team.

It's not the small, fast Southeastern Conference team like we've seen before," he said. "I had a chance to talk to some Notre Dame players and they said that LSU had some fine athletes." Nebraska flanker Johnny Rodgers suffered a dislocated finger while attempting to catch a pass Monday, but x-rays indicated there was no fracture and he's slated to be back for Tuesday's workout. fourth and three, Detroit had to punt from its own 25.

Coach George Allen of the Rams had this observation Tuesday following their 28-23 loss to the Detroit Lions on Monday night. The Rams are at New York Sunday and the 49ers are at By Associated Press Brother, can you spare a dime? Or whatever kind of coin Pete Rozelle wants to flip to settle the National Football League's playoff picture. What hath Rozelle wrought? A state of confusion in which a coin flip could send a team to the sidelines while the winner of the toss goes after the Super Bowl plum. The simplest way of explaining the mess is this: If there is a two-way deadlock either for first place in a trailing, 21-16.

Los Angeles launched a rally from its own 17. It ended abruptly when middle linebacker Mike Lucci intercepted a Gabriel pass and ran it back 12 yards. Three plays later, following a 22-yard keeper scamper by Landry, Steve Owens, the 1969 Heisman Trophy winner, went in from the four to sew it up, 28-16. Los Angeles did travel back 65 yards for a touchdown but at that stage it was meaningless. The Ram coach blamed a tripping penalty called on the Rams as the key mishap.

On Detroit's Lcm Barney )) 111 i I. division or the best second-place record in a conference, the first tie-breaking formula is the season's games between the two teams involved. If they broke even or did not play each other, the next step is intra-division records for. settling division races and in-, tra-conference records for determining the best second' place team. If a comparison of intra-division races still leaves a tie, then intra-conference records are used.

Finally, comes a coin toss. Nine games Sunday will in-. volve playoff contenders, with the clash in New York between Los Angeles and the Giants the only one matching two pretenders head-to-head. The other key games find Houston at Dallas, St. Louis at' Washington, Green Bay at Detroit, San Francisco at Oakland, Buffalo at Miami, Boston at Cincinnati, Cleveland at Denver and Kansas City at San Diego.

Detroit's 28-23 triumph over Los Angeles Monday night' boosted the Lions' hopes and dampened those of the Rams, but really did nothing to assure the winner a playoff berth or eliminate the loser. All it means is that the Rams must win or tie Sunday to have any chance at the Super Bowl. The Giants would win any two-way tie for first in the NFC East while a St. Louis-Dallas deadlock would go to the Cardinals. The Rams would come out on top in a standoff with San Francisco in the NFC West.

In the AFC Central, a Cleveland-Cincinnati tie would go to the Browns. Victories by the Giants, 49ers. Dolphins and Bengals would put thoso teams in the playoffs no matter what the other contenders do. If the Cowboys and Lions both win, too, Sunday, a coin flip would decide which team would land in the playoffs. Does the loser get to keep the coin, Fete?
