As John Lee (69) also arrives on the scene, Tom Ruud (45) sticks a shoulder (3) right into the spot where the ball was being held. The pigskin is now loose (4) and it's the extended right arm of Ardell Johnson (29) that's about to haul it in for the Black Shirts.

The key play comes to an end when the official signals a Nebraska recovery (5). Whew! The Cowboys came this close! Oklahoma State was within a half yard of a touchdown late in the game Saturday, but the Nebraska defensive unit came up with the big play necessary to preserve a 7-3 advantage.

Bruce gave special plaudits to defensive back Barry Hill, who set an Iowa State record with four pass interceptions in one game. "The interceptions were the key," Bruce said. He also praised the efforts of one of the Big Eight's premier running backs, Mike Strachan, who had 86 yards on 29 carries.

"I don't know how many yards he got," Bruce said, "but it was enough." He said kicker Tom Goedjen's three field goals and the Iowa State punting were "pretty good." "Our attitude is getting better," Bruce said. "We're getting tougher and tougher. We're beginning to believe." The Iowa State coach said the victory was an important one for his football program but ranked behind the Cyclone victory last season over Missouri. Fambrough said the second-quarter injury quarterback Scott McMichael suffered was "the big thing" in the Kansas loss. Although McMichael reentered the game in the fourth quarter, Fambrough said the sophomore quarterback could not grip the ball.

"He may have a broken hand," the Kansas coach said. Kansas also was without its senior fullback, Robert Miller. "That left us with two freshmen in the backfield," Fambrough said.

ID When the Black Shirts held, Kiffin leaped with excitement. "I hope they get down here," ho hollered, "because if they do, that's exactly what they'll try and that's exactly the way we'll stop them." In the closing moments Saturday, Kiffin saw his theory put to the test.

16 ISU Nov. 23 KU Missouri Coach Al Onofrio was lavish in his praise of Galbreath. "Galbreath had a great day," Onofrio said. "Galbreath is the kind of runner you need against the kind of teams we play. I can't remember a better run than the one he had on that 36-yard touchdown run." Onofrio said he was "proud of our offense," which gained 331 yards and of sophomore Steve Pisarkiewla, who until two games ago was a reserve quarterback.

"We had too many mechanical errors," Onofrio said, undoubtedly recalling that the Tigers had two intercepted passes and four lost fumbles, two of which helped the I A in the 1 it STAFF PHOTOS BY WEB RAY Season Records OSU (3-3) NE6RASKA (5-2) Wich.

23 OU in the first quarter and with 7:28 remaining in the game nearly had an interception that would have made his fumble recovery unnecessary. Johnson, thus, was the hero of an outstanding defensive effort by the Huskers on an afternoon when super defense was needed against a very fine Oklahoma State team. The Cowboys went into the game ranked the eleventh best team in the nation in rushing offense and started out like they meant to prove it by gaining 104 yards on two drives in the first quarter. The Black Shirt defense, however, made some adjustments and the game settled into a classic defensive struggle. Nebraska was second and Oklahoma State third nationally in total defense going into the game.

The Huskers were able to put together only one sustained drive all afternoon as 76,476 fans watched in unseasonably warm fall weather. That drive went 79 yards in 11 plays with fullback Tony Davis carrying the last three times for the game's only touchdown. It came 6:16 into the third quarter. Oklahoma State scored on a 32-yard field goal by Abby Daigle with 12:01 left in the game for its only points. The victory pushed the Huskers to 5-2 on the season and set up next Saturday's battle against Colorado in Boulder as a key one in their hopes for both a Big Eight Conference championship and a postseason bowl bid.

"We felt it was important for us to win a close one," said Coach Tom Osborne, who had called the game "dead even." "We're in good shape now to really make a run at the Big Eight championship. We've got a real shot at it." Athletic director Bob Devaney, in the dressing room to congratulate Osborne and the squad, called it a great victory. "In the Big Eight it's a question of whether you win, not by how much," he said. "The bowl scouts are just as impressed when you beat a good team 7-3 as they are when you win by a big score." Scouts from the Liberty, Cotton, Sugar and Sun Bowls watched the game and had to be impressed. "It was a defensive masterpiece, especially since we had not faced a wishbone team this season," Osborne said.

Defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin credited Oklahoma State with good execution on offense and admitted that statistical-wise the Huskers didn't do so well, but he added, "Statistics don't win games. We learned a lot about the wishbone and we have a lot of young kids who hadn't seen it before today." Following the first two OSU drives, the Huskers made some minor adjustments on defense and limited the Cowboys to 100 yards on the ground in the final three quarters. "We can play just as well against the wishbone as we can against the veer-T or any other offense," Kiffin said. In addition to Johnson's key plays, all other Huskers had fine defensive performances. Especially tough were linebacker Tom Ruud, who was credited with 18 tackles, middle guard John Lee, who had 11, and end Bob Martin, who got 10.

The play that ended OSU's final scoring threat came with 55 seconds left when Jimmy Burrow intercepted a Weatherbie pass at the 15 and ran it out to the 33. The Cowboys made poor use of their timeouts in the second half and it stymied them in their closing scoring bids. They used up their last one two plays before Daigle's 32-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. Daigle's first field goal try came with 58 seconds left in the first quarter when Johnson blocked the 42-yard effort. Continued: Page 4D, Col.

1 4 plays by senior cornerback Ardell Johnson the last three and a half minutes, Nebraska turned back stubborn Oklahoma State, 7-3, in Memorial Stadium. It was his recovery of a fumble by Cowboy quarterback Charlie Weatherbie a yard away from the Husker goalline with 3:22 remaining that kept OSU from scoring an almost certain touchdown. And it was his quick hands that flicked ball away from would-be pass receiver Ricky Taylor at the seven-yard line with :22 remaining. Had Taylor caught the ball could have been disaster.

"I'm proud that the team was able to play above the errors and come back," Onofrio continued. "It's tough when you play Colorado. They have a good running and passing attack." Bill Mallory, the Colorado coach, was dejected over the game in which the Buffs had led three times. "We were on top but we couldn't keep 'em down," Mallory said. "They kept coming back.

"I would compare Missouri to Iowa State because, after Oklahoma, They're all pretty close." Colorado defeated Iowa State 34-7 two weeks ago.

(AP) Iowa State Coach Earle Bruce said it was a "great, great effort" by his defensive unit that produced a 22-6 football victory over Kansas Saturday. Iowa State gave up only 72 yards rushing and 119 passing, including KU's one scoring thrust of 82 yards on a pass. In the Kansas dressing room, Coach Don Fambrough could only shake his head. "It's so hard to understand how through five games you can move the ball all over the field then nothing," he said. Through five games, Kansas was one of the nation's leaders in total offense and averaged well over 400 yards a game.

Some 12.000 Zairians turned out Saturday at the Stade Du 20 Mai (Stadium of the 20th of May) for the weigh-in. Muhammad Ali made a premature entry into the ring 40 minutes before the 11 p.m., local time, scheduled ceremony. The crowd went wild.

Shouting and raising their hands, they chanted: "Ah, boom a ya, boom a ya, "Kill him. "Kill him. "Ali, boom a ya." The challenger, wearing a brightly colored African shirt which hung loosely over his trunks, held his hand high in response to the salute. He entered the ring, accompanied by his fighter-brother Rachman, and did a few dance steps. The crowd cheered wildly.

The preliminary gesture lasted only about five minutes. As he left the ring All was heard to mutter to Rachman: "Let's shake 'em up." Then he went to the side of the stadium and walked in front of the screaming African fans, hands over his head, and into the dressing room. A light rain began falling early in the evening but the ring, with its red, white and blue strands hanging loosely, was completely covered, as were ringside and press seats.

(AP) Tony Galbreath was very modest to say the least. Galbreath, the Missouri tailback, made three touchdowns in the Tigers' 30-24 Big Eight Conference football victory over Colorado Saturday and summed up his per formance by saying: "I got good blocking up front. It was a whole team effort." However, Galbreath's 36-yard run in the fourth quarter for the winning touchdown was very much Tony Galbreath's effort. He broke tackles galore and when it appeared he was trapped at the three, he jerked loose and fell across the goal. Galbreath was the game's best rusher, running 23 times for 146 yards.

He also had touchdown runs of four and 14 yards. Miami, Ohio (6-0-1) def. Toledo, 31-22, Page 9D. 19. 20.
