I was just glad to see them kick the extra point.

It took a lot of pressure off us on the last drive." The victory, coupled with Ohio State's 12-7 loss to Wisconsin, assured the Hawkeyes of at least a share of the conference championship. A victory next week at home against Minnesota would give Iowa the outright title and a berth in the Rose Bowl. Fry said he heard the score of the Ohio State game at halftime. "But I didn't know if it would have a good effect or a bad effect on us. All we needed was a tie to go to the Rose Bowl.

Don't get me wrong, we still wanted to win. We had a good drive and got in position so Houghtlin could kick a field goal. It was a fantastic game," he said. Burtnett said the Hawkeyes "won the game. That's what counts.

Our kids are very, very down now. Our kids played hard and made big plays all day. It just wasn't enough." The Hawkeyes went into the fourth quarter with a 24-17 lead before the Boilermakers tied the game with a 72-yard drive.

(AP) -Iowa football Coach Hayden Fry couldn't believe Purdue went for an extra-point kick to tie the game in the fourth quarter instead of trying for a two-point conversion and the lead. And Purdue's Leon Burtnett couldn't believe the Boilermakers let time run out without getting off one more play for what could have been a miraculous comeback. "I'm mad," Burtnett said after Saturday's 27-24 loss to the Hawkeyes, who took over first place in the Big Ten Conference with the nationally televised victory. "When you consider you're playing at home, it's unbelievable how our people let the clock run out." With the pressure of a possible, Purdue lead off Iowa's back, the Hawkeyes drove 64 yards before Rob Houghtlin kicked the winning 25-yard field goal with 1:08 to go. The Boilermakers' last chance ended 20 yards from the Iowa goal line as time expired.

"We had at least one second left, enough time to get one play off, which is all we wanted," Burtnett said. "The officials could have ruled there was one second left. They should have reset the clock at one second. "They said, 'Don't get mad at us jump on your own people (running the Burtnett said. "Big Ten officials are the worst in the country.

They don't know the rules." Fry, whose Hawkeyes beat Purdue at Ross-Ade Stadium for the second year in a row, said, "It surprised me they didn't go for it (a two-point conversion). They probably thought they could stop us and get the ball back and get a field goal. "But the last thing I want to do is Defense S. Christiansen EAST Huskers hammer Kansas LINCOLN (AP) Rather than risk the wrath of his coach, sophomore Keith Jones picked up a kickoff he'd dropped and dashed 98 yards for a touchdown Saturday to highlight Nebraska's 56-6 victory over Kansas. "When I bobbled the ball, I was worried the coach was going to yell at me," Jones said of his third-quarter score.

"But it turned out OK. Two guys had the angle on me, so I figured I'd better get started." Second-ranked Nebraska started much earlier, rolling up 438 yards in the first half to build a 38-3 lead. The verdict set up a showdown next week between Nebraska and No. 7 Oklahoma at Norman, where the Big Eight Conference Big Eight Standings Conference Overall Nebraska 6 0 0 Oklahoma 5 0 0 Oklahoma State 4 1 0 9 1 7 1 8 1 Colorado 3 3 0 6 -Iowa State 2 4 0 4 Kansas 1 5 0 5 4 6 6 Kansas State 1 5 0 1 9 Missouri 1 5 0 1 9 championship and an Orange Bowl berth will be at stake. Jones also scored on a one-yard Fellow sophomore Von Shep-pard caught touchdown passes of 82 yards from Travis Turner and 35 yards from classmate McCathorn Clayton.

"We've got some very good young players," Jones said. "I'd say Nebraska has a pretty bright future." Fullback Tom Rathman led the Huskers' lethal ground game with 159 yards in nine carries. Rathman ran 44 yards for their first touchdown and dashed 56 yards to set up another score. I-back Doug DuBose added 109 yards and one touchdown in 17 carries. Nebraska, which leads the nation in rushing, gained 498 yards on the ground and 639 total.

offensive line has been blocking very well, which is allowing Doug and me to get those big gainers," Rathman said. Nebraska, which has won at least nine games each of the last 17 seasons, improved its record to 9-1 overall and 6-0 in the Big Eight. Kansas falls to 5-6 and 1-5. The Huskers scored safeties on a blocked punt and fumbled punt snap. They limited Kansas to a pair of field goals by Jeff Johnson.

The Nebraska defense contained Jayhawk quarterback Mike Norseth, who last week set a Big Eight one-season total offense record. Norseth completed eight of 25 passes for 77 yards and was sacked nine times. "It was a long afternoon, no doubt about that," Norseth said. "It was definitely not one I want to be involved in again." The Jayhawks haven't scored a touchdown in 15 quarters and Nebraska hasn't allowed one during the same span.

A total of five pass thefts in the game increased the M'side season total to 26, erasing the school single-season record of 23 set just last season. Leivermann closed out the season with 2,056 yards passing, but the loss dipped the Huskies to a 5-4 mark in the NCC and 6-5 overall standard.

Leivermann, who completed 11 of 26 passes, was taken out of the game after the third quarter and did not play in the final stanza. On a day when seniors were showcased, freshman linebacker Ed Gochenour of Sioux City East spearheaded the Morningside defense with seven unassisted tackles, five for losses. Tracy Johnson, the superlative M'side end and linebacker, recorded two quarterback sacks to give him nine for the season. Johnson also made another tackle for a loss. Linebacker Brice Farmer made five solo tackles and seven assists to run his season totals to 42 and 75 in those departments, both team-leading figures.

Defensive back Steve Neubert also had three solo tackles and three assists.

Berg, a 6-7 transfer from College of Great Falls in Montana, hit yet another rebound basket to give Wayne its first lead of the game at 41-39 midway through the second half. But Marcelino Garcia, a 6-5 sophomore from San Juan, Puerto Rico, tied the score at 41 with two free shots and with seven minutes remaining a Garcia field goal gave Briar Cliff the lead to stay, 47-45.

The Chargers put together seven straight points as Wayne went more than three minutes without scoring. Terrance Hall ended the Wildcats dry spell with a basket, but Donaldson, Galvez and Jim Paulson shot Briar Cliff ahead by 1 1, 58-47. Wayne never got closer than six points after that. Briar Cliff had a good night shooting by making 23 of 39 for 59 percent. However, Nacke thought the BCC offense was too methodical at times.

CLOUD, Minn. Morningside put the finishing touches on what can arguably be called the most successful football season in the school's history Saturday with a 21-15 conquest of St. Cloud State.

Nate Cole, the North Central Conference's most productive big-play gridder for two years, closed out his career with two more "spectaculars." The Chicago senior roared 95 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter after St. Cloud's Bob Ertl had put the Huskies in front 3-0 with a 45-yard field goal. Then, in the fourth quarter, Cole uncorked a 47-yard touchdown run that put Morningside in command 21-9. Morningside finished the season with a 7-3-1 overall record and, for the first time since the North Central Conference was founded in 1922, the Chiefs won five conference games in consecutive seasons. The win over St.

Cloud let Coach Erv Mondt's athletes finish 5-3-1 in the NCC, good enough for fourth place in the standings. Mondt directed M'side to a 5-4 NCC record last year. The 7-3-1 record is the best at the school since George Allen coached the 1949 team to an identical 7-3-1 mark. Only four times since Morningside began playing college football in 1898 have Maroon and White teams won seven or more games on the playing field in a season. The 1912 team went 8-1-1, but the victory total included a 13-0 win over Cherokee High School.

Morningside was a legitimate 7-2 in 1930 and the 1971 Chiefs were 7-3, but that win collection included a forfeit from South Dakota because the Coyotes used an ineligible player in a 35-6 win over M'side. Saturday, Darren Belk also provided the explosive big play for the Chiefs against St. Cloud, racing 40 yards for a third-quarter touchdown. Belk led all rushers in the game with 141 yards on 24 carries. Belk's carries and yards were both season bests for the junior from Alexandria, who finished the year as the team's best rusher with 845 yards on 180 carries.

The rousing curtain call to a year-long Sioux City sports hit show also marked the final college game for quarterback Jim Gibson, who holds nearly every Morningside passing record. Gibson only passed for 80 yards, completing nine of 24 aerials, but Mondt termed the playing conditions for passing "far less than ideal." Gibson finished the season with 162 completions in 287 attempts for 2,071 yards. For his career, Gibby completed 546 of 1,001 passes for 6,315 yards. "Darren Belk had a good day running," said Mondt, "but, again, the blocking of our offensive line, like it has all year, had a lot to do with his yardage. "Our kids did a great job and our seniors came through for us again.

"The last game is really a senior game and our 16 guys did a great, great job." Among the seniors playing the final game for Morningside were Darin Hildahl, Greg Mitchell, Matt kMiller and Monte Colfack, the interior nucleus of one of the NCC's most efficient offensive lines. Other seniors playing their last game were Mike Noble, Cole, Gibson, Tracy Johnson, Wade Brandt, Dave Chop, Terry Nielsen, Bruce Lindell, Dave Sokolowski, Terry Den Beste, Mitch Johnson and Kevin Stricklin. St. Cloud's Mike Leivermann did 7 WAYNE, Neb. Briar Cliff's basketball team has very nearly accomplished in the first week of the season what it took an entire campaign to do last winter, win games away from home.

When Coach Ray Nacke's veteran Chargers turned back Wayne State 70-60 here Saturday night it marked victory No. 2 in the span of five days. And both came on enemy courts. Tuesday BCC had stopped Dana 70-64 at Blair, Neb. Last season the Chargers won only three of 14 road games.

All-American Mario Galvez, who pumped in 20 points the first half, finished with 33 to lead all scorers. He made 12 of 20 field goals and nine of 14 gift shots. Briar Cliff never trailed the first half, sprinting into a 14-4 lead on a string of 10 unanswered points from Fernando Pinillo, Galvez and Jeff Donaldson. The Cliff went up by as many as 12 (24-12) on a Galvez bucket, but the Wildcats scratched back to within 32-26 at intermission. Getting six "second-chance" baskets the last half, Wayne quickly moved into contention.

Trailing 38-33, Keith Berg put in a rebound shot, Vincent White scored after a steal and Berg netted another.
