Someone once said a tie in a football game is like kissing your sister. Another wit declared that it depends on what your sister looks like. But the 17-17 tie played here Saturday afternoon between Nebraska and Oklahoma State couId make botn of them feel like an ugly sister, who doesn't get an invitation to the school dance.

tie eliminated both teams from Eight P'onsn'P picture since the best either can finish in the league chase now is 5-1-1 and that ain't scoreboard put up only Saturday morning. Husker I-back Tony Davis' plunging drive into the Cowboys' goal line defense was stopped cold, leaving the score tied at 17-17 and Oklahoma State 99 yards from where it had to go to win. In a similar situation two weeks ago at Missouri, although with a bit more time remaining, the Huskers had tried the field goal, but Rich Sanger's attempt was blocked. And some fans cried, "We should have gone for the touchdown." Saturday, Husker coach Tom Osborne went for the touchdown and it didn't work, either. A week ago against Kansas, the Huskers were criticized for not passing from deep in their own territory.

They tried that, too, here Saturday and it backfired.

"That was the most important play of the game as far as 1 am concerned," smiled Fambrough, who said he also was proud of the way his nth-ranked Jayhawks came back to win after Iowa State took the lead in the fourth period.

"Coaches preach this type of playing' all their lives," Fambrough said. "Our boys could have given up but we came backhand came out a winner." Iowa State coach Earl Bruce agreed the blocked punt was one of the crucial plays. "We gave 'em two cheap ones," Bruce moaned, "the blocked punt and the draw play." The draw play was a 32-yard scamper by tailback Delvin Williams which gave Kansas the victory with just 1 :46 left to play. "That was a planned play." said Kansas quarterback David Jaynes of the draw. "It was effective because Iowa State was expecting a pass." Bruce was unhappy with his team's eight turnovers as well as the blocked punt.

The Cyclones suffered four lost fumbles and four pass intrceptions. "I've never had a team fumble that much or turn the ball over that many times," Bruce said. Fambrough was doleful over the loss of defensive end and captain Don Goode, who suffered a shouldor separation in the first quarter and will be out for the Kansas 3 6 1 22 lowaStatt 7 7 0 6 20 Kan FG Paul 23 ISU-Hill 86 punt return (Goedlen Kick) ISU Stanley 4 run (Goedien kick) Kan BEESON 50 blocked punt return (kick failed) Kan Williams 44 pass from Jaynes (Hall kick) ISU-Danowksy 1 run (kick failed) Kan-Williams 32 run (kick failed) MOST AMERICAN CARS DISC BRAKES Install our bait diac brake pads Imull our best brake linmaa Machine brake drums Repack front wheel battings Torque front wheel bearings Install all needed hold down herdwa Claan end inspect all parts Bleed and flush hydraulic system a Road test the ear IMef wet carry a FISK RANCHER Miin ft ckiow AD FISK PREMIER 4 PLY NYLON CORD NU OS How Scored Time Left FIRST QUARTER 3-0 Sanger, 30 field goal 11:19 Huskers took over at Oklahoma State 34 after punt snap was high and OSU punter Cliff Parsley attempted to run. After O'Leary carried four times for 26 yards to eight, delay of game penalty helped stop drive. 3-3 Daigle, 51 field goal 9:30 Rick Taylor returned NU kickoff 37 yards to OSU 48 to set up field goal.

Humm hit Shamblin with passes of 23 and 40 yards and Damkroger picked up 16 on run. Sanger kicked PAT. SECOND QUARTER 10-17 Thompson, 1-run 1:22 53 yards in 12 plays, Sanger's 25-yard punt gave OSU ball at its own 47.

OSU stayed on ground except for 17-yard pass from Blackman to Pettes on third and seven from 50. Score came on fourth and one. Daigle kicked PAT. 17-17 Humm, 1 sneak 7:48 44 yards in 11 plays. All of yardage coming on likely to be good enough.

And the tie which leaves the Huskers at 5-1-1 overall and the Cowboys at 3-2-1 is apt to lessen both team's bowl glamour, particularly to the major bowls. But, if the game left most of those in the capacity crowd of 50,500 largest to see a football game at Lewis Field here emotionless at the end it certainly should have satisfied some of the second guessers, even if it did create others to take their place. The tie became a virtual certainty when Nebraska, with a fourth and inches at the Oklahoma State goal line, chose -to go for the six points rather than the field goal with 2:23 left on the scoreboard clock, a "When you get a score like that, things get sloppy out there. I don't think we were down. I don't think the emotional thing has anything to do with penalties." Switzer called K-State "a fine football team." Quarterback Davis said K-State "played it (the wishbone option) a little more solid" than two years ago when Oklahoma won here 75-28.

"It wasn't a track meet today. We had to work." Oklahoma scored on its first three possessions, stunning Kattsas State homecoming fans harboring upset hopes. Davis gained 119 yards on 14 carries and halfback Joe Washington added 112 on 17 totes, although the Sooners' first-teamers played only one series in the second half. The unstoppable Sooners piled up 501 yards rushing and 85 more passing. Early in the first quarter, Kansas State punter Davis Spare dropped the snap, picked it up and fumbled again with Struck falling on the ball at the Wildcats' 22.

Tim Welch scored from the one in six plays. Seconds later. Struck batted a Steve Grogan pass into the air and Randy Hughes intercepted at the K-State 34. From the 13, Davis passed to tight end Wayne Hoffman for the touchdown. Grogan revived Wildcat hopes briefly early in the second quarter when he flipped a 50-yard pass to Bud Peterson, who was hauled down at the Oklahoma four.

Grogan then passed to Bill Holman for the score. But Kansas State committed another error midway through the quarter when Gordon Chambliss fumbled an Oklahoma punt and Jim Taylor recovered at the Wildcats' 41. Davis, who gained all his yards in the first half, scored on the third play with a 27-yard run, assuring a rout. The Sooners scampered 75 yards in eight plays at the outset of the second half with Washington bursting the last six yards for the touchdown. Oklahoma I1 14 14 7-56 KanstsSttt.

(AP) -Mark Oklahoma No. 1 in the nation as far as Kansas State Coach Vince Gibson is concerned.

"I said before we played them that they probably are No. 1 in the country," said Gibson after the Sooners walked away with a 56-14 victory Sturday. "Now that we've played them, I know they are." The K-State coach praised his own players "for fighting, scrapping and not giving up." But he said Oklahoma has everything offense and defense. "I haven't seen a better Oklahoma team," Gibson continued. "The 1971 Oklahoma team had a great offense, but just an average defense.

The 1972 team had a great defense. This year they have both." Gibson said the Oklahoma triple option "is a helluva offense if you have the people." "That quarterback can fly," said the K-State coach' referring to Oklahoman Steve Davis. "They have that fullback (Way-mon Clark), and that (Joe) Washington and that quarterback." Oklahoma Coarh Barry Swit-zer said his team was fortunate to capitalize on three Kansas State kicking mistakes for an early 21-0 lead. He said the Sooners' own mistakes could beat them in another game. "I'm very worry the way we played, the errors and penalties." Switzer said.

"Those are the kind of things that get you beat." Switzer referred to Oklahoma's 14 penalties for 126 yards, many of them by the second team after the Sooner coach called in his first team in the first quarter. "We set a national rushing record (711 yards) here two years ago," said Switzer. "I think today we set a record for penalties. "I'm always concerned about penalties. That's poor mental discipline.

You can't afford to let that happen." Switzer said he thought his Sooners ranked third nationally, were emotionally prepared for the game, but it "got out of hand with both teams making so many mistakes. midway in the first quarter after Sanger and Oklahoma State's Abby Daigle had swapped 30 and 51-yard field goals, respectively, Husker quarterback David Humm went back to pass on a third and seven from his own 23. The pass was intended for Davis, but it found instead Oklahoma State linebacker Cleveland Vann, who ran it 25 yards into the Husker end zone and the Cowboys led 10-3 with only 6:46 having been played. Undeterred by that misfortune, the Huskers proved after taking the ansuing Wckoff that they could pass against the Cowboys. Humm hit sophomore split end Dave Shamblin with passes of 23 and 40 yards in a 88-yard, seven-play drive that tied it at 10-10 with 5:36 still remaining in the first period.

Nebraska proved in the third quarter that they could run against the Cowboys, going 44 yards in 11 plays, all of them on the ground, to knot the count at 17-17 after trailing by 17-10 at halftime. And they proved they could they could run again on the dirve that led to the decisive decision of whether to go for six or three. With the exception of a 14-yard Humm to Davis pass on that drive which started at the OSU 46, Davis carried on all of the other 10 plays, getting 3, 6, 6, 2, 7, 3, 2, 1, 1 and no gain as he failed to get the inches needed for the victory. Nebraska ground out 205 yards for the best rushing effort since the second game of the season against North Carolina State and added 138 through the air. But again, errors at critical times killed the Husker efforts.

The most critical of these was a holding penalty called on right guard Dan Anderson on a third end 14 play from the Cowboy 34. On the play, Humm and wingback Ritch Bahe teamed up on a 23-yard pass play that put the ball at the OSU 11. But the holding penalty made it third and 29 from the 49 instead of first and 10 at the 11 and the Huskers were forced to punt. In three Big Eight games, the Huskers are 1-1-1, having lost to Missouri by one, 13-12, beaten Kansas by one, 10-9, and tied Oklahoma State. Colorado comes calling in Lincoln Saturday.

Nebraska's physical therapist George Sullivan said that I-back John O'Leary and defensive end Bob Martin should be ready for Colorado if they respond to treatment. Sullivan said O'Leary was suffering from "a pretty good strain" of his knee, while Martin reinjured the left ankle that had' slowed him the past week. Not Everyone Watched Game Stillwater, Okla. Not all persons among a record Lewis Stadium crowd that watched Nebraska and Oklahoma State battle to a 17-17 tie here Saturday were interested in the football game. The Nebraska locker room was burglarized in the second half.

A camera and team equipment were taken, but a team spokesman said no personal belongings were stolen. HUNTERS the ground. Sanger kicked PAT.
