The Huskers are riding the Big Eight's longest winning streak 10, counting last year's season-concluding Sugar Bowl victory over Florida and nine straight this fall thanks in great part to one of the nation's finest defenses. Nebraska ranks eighth in the nation in total defense. 12th in 15 defense against the run and ninth in scoring defense Balanced Attack The Huskers boast a balanced, potent scoring attack as well.

'What really pleased me was getting four kids in the finals in four events and three in two events," Beran said. Jim, the reigning national A.A.U Junior Olympic all-around champion agreed.

"This was our best team performance all year," he said. "Everybody hit pretty good." The championship came as no surprise to Beran, in his ninth year at South.

Memorial Stadium, Lincoln. Broadcasts KLIN, KFOR, WOW, KFAB. KRNU Bay Game the latter figure a league high. But Iowa State leads the conference in pass defense. The Cyclones, on the other hand, are last in defense against the run, forecasting a busy day for Huskers runners Monte Anthony (606 yards), John O'Leary (543) and Davis (493) Against K-State last week, Davis carried 16 times for 74 yards to become the No.

2 career rusher in Nebraska history. His total of 2,259 yards bypassed the previous runnerup total of Bobby Reynolds Tough Tony now needs 161 yards to tie Jeff Kinney for the alltime leadership total of 2,420. Iowa State's four-game winning streak early in the season was the longest victory skein for the Cyclones since 1960. But Bruce's crew has been hard-hit by injuries since that time and plagued by mistakes. Close Until End A glaring example came last week when Iowa State trailed Missouri by a slim 17-7 count with just over 10 minutes to play yet wound up on the short end of a 44-14 score.

A costly fourth-down penalty kept one Mizzou drive alive and fiieo-fee Tigers recovered tivo consecutive onside kickoffs after tallying touchdowns. Nebraska holds a commanding 56-11-2 advantage in the long series between the two schools which began in 1896 with a 12-4 Husker victory. Iowa State hasn't won since a 10-7 affair in Lincoln in 1960, although the Cyclones pulled out a dramatic 23-23 tie in Ames in 1972. Last year, at Ames, Nebraska recorded a 23-13 triumph Anthony scored twice for the Huskers in that game, while Iowa State's two touchdowns were tallied by Luther Blue, who has been sidelined for the rest of this season by injury. Saturday's game, with a 1:30 kickoff, will mark the 81st consecutive sellout crowd of for Memorial Stadium.

NU Five Considered Kansas City (AP) The Selmon brothers Leroy and Dewey and tcammile Jirabo Elrod of Oklahoma lead the parade of Big Eight Conference football players under consideration for the 1975 All-America team. Almost every Big Eight board member has pointed the finger at the big, rugged defensive trio of the Sooners. Frank Haraway of the Denver Post says Elrod "is the best I've seen at defensive end. At defensive tackle, it's Leroy. He's the best.

"Make it Dewey Selmon at middle guard with John Lee of Nebraska another exceptionally good one." Bob Hentzen of the Topeka Capital-Journal describes Leroy as "the best defender in the Big Eight." "How do you separate them Leroy and Dewey Selmon?" asks Steve Southerland of WREN Radio in Topeka. "They are the hub of the Sooners' great defense." Most of the board members singled out Nolan Cromwell, the safety turned quarterback at Kansas; defensive tackle Mike Butler and defensive back Kurt Knoff, also of Kansas; center Rik Bonness, cornerback Dave Butterfield, fullback Tony Davis, defensive back Wonder Monds and linebacker Clete Pillen of Nebraska. And quarterback Steve Pisarkiewicz, tailback Tony Galbreath and split end Henry Marshall of Missouri, running back Joe Washington of Oklahoma, linebacker Gary Spani of Kansas State, offensive guard Derrel Gofourth and running back Terry Miller of Oklahoma State and tailback Mike Williams of Iowa State. Chuck Woodling of the Lawrence, Journal World describes Monds as "a head-hunter with great speed.

kickoff at Seacrest Field. In the only other championship game to be decided at night, Lincoln East travels to the University of Nebraska at Omaha to meet Omaha Westside in the Class A final, also scheduled to begin at 7.30 p.m. By Virgil Parker Journal Sports Editor Twenty-four seniors some of. whom won't even be allowed to suit up because of new NCAA restrictions are members of the Nebraska football team which makes its final home appearance against Iowa State in Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon. Coach Tom Osborne's No 2 ranked Cornhuskers, alone atop the Big Eight Conference standings, will try to clinch at least a tie for the league crown while posting their 10th straight vic-v tory of the season.

The Cyclones of coach Earle Bruce, who won four in a rOw after an opening setback to UCLA, will be trying to break a four-game losing streak while entering the clash with an overall 4-5 mark It'll be Dad's Day Saturday, with the fathers of the Nebraska players assembled along the sidelines. Since the NCAA rules don't apply to the dads, nearly 100 fathers will be "suited up" with numbers corresponding to those worn by their son-players. Eleven Senior Starters Eteven-'sente wfil'-beB-ths-starting lineup for Nebraska four on offense (center Rik Bonness, tight end Larry Mushinskie, wingback Tom Heiser and fullback Tony Davis) six on defense (middle guard John Lee, tackle Jerry Wied, end Bob Martin, monster Wonder Monds, cornerback Chuck Jones and safety Jim Burrow) plus place kicker Mike Coyle. Over the past three seasons, the Nebraska seniors have been a part of an outstanding combined 27-5-1 record to date, including post-season victories in both the Cotton and Sugar Bowls. The current Cornhuskers are aiming at two more regular potentially better, not as deep but our top three could be better than this year," Beran said.

2 Nebraska with the possibility of being without its No. 1 fullback Mike Williams, seventh leading Big Eight ground gainer this season, was listed as doubtful by Coach Earle Bruce. He had a bruised ankle which has been slow mending this weak, Bruce said. Klarence Isler will either start at fullback or see considerable action, Bruce said after Thursday's short workout. Otis Rodgers was back with the first unit at defensive end and will start Saturday against the Huskers after missing the Missouri game with a hyperex-tended elbow.

Bruce said no other changes were anticipated. "Practices have been good both offensively and defensively this week," Bruce said. "Now, we need to play errorless football and eliminate fumbles and interceptions against a team like Nebraska." The Cyclones have not beaten Nebraska since 1960 but played the Cornhuskers a memorable 23-23 tie in 1972. Bob Martin Rich David City, Neb. Jersey Tom Heiser Chester Columbus, Neb.

Denver, "We're so balanced We could win without Jim." Jim was a big factor for the Packers Thursday though as he and brother John placed 1-2 in the first three events, to spark South to a meet record of 179.62 points. The Packer total surpassed the previous high of 152 set in 1972 by Lincoln Southeast. Jim, 5-2 and 120 pounds, qualified first in five events to capture the all-around championship with a 54.10 score, edging John's 46.80. Jim Beal of East took third in the all-around, placing third in the horizontal bars, parallel bars and still rings. Lincoln Southeast's Mark Hobson finished fourth, qualifying fifth in the still rings and horizontal bars.

North Platte won a close battle for second with 152.05, nipping Southeast's 149.09.

Oklahoma 21, Missouri 14 -The outcome depends on how the Sooners react to the Kansas loss. If the Jayhawks woke up a sleeping giant watch out! On the other hand, maybe OU never really was a giant. We'll all find out Saturday.

South ALABAMA over Southern Mississippi, MARYLAND over Clemson, NORTH CAROLINA STATE over Duke, SOUTH CAROLINA over Wakt Forest, SYRACUSE over Virginia, FLORIDA over Kentucky Parker's By Picks Virgil Parker Fumbles Hurting Sooners United Press International Returning to the world of reality, where losing football games is as possible as winning them, was no problem for him, says Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer "I never felt that much pressure," Switzer said in reference to the end of the Sooners' 28 -game winning streak.

"Maybe everybody else down here lived in a dream world and thought we would win forever, but I know what losing is all about Kansas, a startling 23-3 winner, ended Oklahoma's 37-game string without a loss last Saturday and Big Eight Conference fans are wondering how the Sooners will react this week. Missouri will be Oklahoma's' foe and 66,000 fans are an-ticipated for the battle at Faurot Field in Columbia. Missouri (6-3) still is hopeful for a bowl bid, while Oklahoma (8-1) can tie for the Big Eight championship and gain an Orange Bowl berth with season ending vie berth with season-ending vic-Nebraska. Elsewhere Saturday, the schedule will send Colorado (7-2) to Kansas (6-3) in a regionally televised contest. Iowa State (4-5) to Nebraska (9-0) and Kansas State (3-6) to Oklahoma State (5-4).

Although the season is nine weeks old, five Big Eight teams still are ranked among the top 20. Nebraska is No. 2, Oklahoma No. 7, Colorado No. 12, Missouri No.

16 and Kansas No. 19. The Oklahoma-Missouri and Colorado-Kansas battles, however, will match four of those ranked teams. Oklahoma is a 12-point favorite and Kansas is a surprising one-point choice in the top games. Nebraska is a 23-point favorite and Oklahoma State is favored by 15.

Switzer says if Oklahoma surrenders the football this week the same way it did last, his Sooners will lose again. Oklahoma suffered four fumbles, four pass interceptions, a blocked punt and blocked field goal. "If we had played well, we still might have lost, 7-3," said Switzer. "But we didn't give ourselves a chance to see. Kansas was a good team and you can't turn the ball over to good teams as much as we did and still win." Concerning the Missouri game, Switzer said, "I think we'll go play hard.

We haven't experienced this before. But I read every week about teams that come back and win after losing the week before." By Jeff Haase Omaha South coach Richard Beran admits he had a little help in guiding his Packers to their first Nebraska Boys' State Gymnastics championship Thursday night in the East High gym. Beran's championship squad, led by sophomore standout Jim Hartung, got an early start in gymnastics thanks to the Omaha Gym Club and its coach Phil Cahoy. by the time they got to South they were ready for Beran's finishing touches. "Several of the guys belonged to the club," Beran said, "and like in Jim's case he had a tremendous amount of experience when he got here (South).

"Phil is responsible for a lot of our success. He works with the boys a lot during the off-season, and in gymnastics, working all year-round is important." "A coach only gets a team like this once in a lifetime," Beran Student Testifies BOULDER, Colo. (AP) A former University of Colorado athlete has sworn in an affidavit he took a college entrance test for a Colorado football player in exchange for a promise of an athletic scholarship, the Rocky Mountain News said in today's editions. The News said Vance Hawthorne confirmed he took the test for Steve Griffin, who had scored badly on the test, in an affidavit taken in connection with a civil suit filed against Colorado University Coach Bill Mallory and the school's athletic department. The suit, filed by Griffin's parents, alleges that Mallory and the department staff arranged a stand-in to take a test and prepare a course report for their son.

The News, which said it had obtained a copy of the affidavit, quoted Hawthorne as saying, "I did in fact take the ACT (American College Testing) test in place of Steve Griffin on a Saturday during the spring of 1972." Hawthorne said in the affidavit that freshman football Coach Dan Stavely promised him an athletic scholarship if he would take Griffin's test. Stavely branded the sworn statement "a complete falsehood," the News said, and added Hawthorne had never received the scholarship. Hawthorne agreed that he hadn't been given the scholarship he said be was promised. Hawthorne said he was provided with "two forms of identification bearing the name of Steve Griffin before he appeared to take the college test I Iff jh laV vif-Mj; GEORGIA over Auburn GEORGIA TECH over Navy TENNESSEE over Mississippi VANDERBILT over Army MIAMI, FLA. over Florida State, LSU over Mississippi State TULANE over North Carolina, FURMAN over Citadel, COLGATE over William Mary, MEMPHIS STATE over Houston, WEST VIRGINIA over Richmond VIRGINIA TECH over VMI Midwest OHIO STATE over Minnesota, MICHIGAN over Illinois, WISCONSIN over Indiana, PURDUE over Iowa, MICHIGAN STATE over Northwestern, BALL STATE over Illinois State, BOWLING GREEN over Southern Illinois, CENTRAL MICHIGAN over Northern Illinois CINCINNATI over Ohio DAYTON over Marshall, DRAKE over Wichita State, EASTERN MICHIGAN over Western Michigan, MIAMI, O.
