A 10-yard run by John Riggins and one of 14 by Mike Reeves were big efforts. Harmful to the Huskers' cause was Stephenson's interference with Kansas receiver John Mosier on a pass play from the eight.

Kansas got a first down on the one. from i where Douglass sneaked over, with 4 minutes 9 seconds re- maining. Gamble Fails It was a 16-13 as Bell converted again, and that's the way it would have ended if Nebraska hadn't run a futile fourth-down play from its 23 and Kansas took over on the 26. Douglass was really using up the clock, but in so doing he circled left for 10 yards and the last touchdown with 1:11 remaining. This was a classic game, one which will be replayed in years to come.

Nebraska did a good job of checking the big Kansas running threat, Shanklin. His longest run was 19 yards and he netted only 45. At the same time the Huskers limited the left-handed Douglass to eight comolptinns in 20 throws for 78 yards. Al Larsons led the Husker defense with a dozen tackles while linebacker Jerry Mur-taugh specialized in hattin down passes. 15 First Downs So even was the game that each team had 15 first downs while Nebraska outgained the winners, 236 to 194 yards.

The going was vigorous and the officials had a busy day marking off 74, yards against Nebraska, 105 against Kansas. Both teams were unbeaten and nationally ranked. Neither had reason for chagrin after Saturday's game. Kansas Coach Pepper Rodg-ers summed, it up after the game: "I'm not sure if we are No. 1.

but we do have a good team. Anyone that beats Nebraska at home has to have a -good ball club."

The largest crowd in Big Eight football history sat in on a game of showdown at Memorial Stadium Saturday and in the end it was the blue chips of Kansas who swept the pot.

The score was 23-13 as 67,119 watched the Big Red of Nebraska put up a stubborn fight before losing for the first time this season to a bunch of Jay-hawkers who were rated sixth nationally before the game and ought to do better than that 3s a result of humbling the Husk-ershere. Kansas, leading the nation in scoring, was shut out in the first half and had to score twice in the final five minutes of the game to finish in front. Quarterback Bobby Douglass contributed both the go-ahead touchdown and the final score, which really was a gift resulting Season Records KANSAS 47 Illinois .18 Indiana NEBRASKA 13 Wyominq 31 Utah 17 Minnesota 13 Kansas 0. 19 Missouri 0. 26 Okla.

The record assemblage saw a real rouser of a game on this gray day one that pitted Kan sas speed and finesse against the able Nebraska defensive unit. For a good long time it looked as though the hard-hit ting Huskers would win out. The dangerous a a dominated the scoreless first quarter, but Nebraska was equal to every Jayhawk challenge. Kansas drove from its 38 to Nebraska's 10, but the Huskers harried Douglass vigorously on fourth-down pass and the losers took over. That period ended with Kan sas up to Nebraska's 33, but that was as far as the drive could penetrate and the pendulum began to swing toward the home forces who soon were to put the first points of the game on the board.

DALLAS, TEX. (AP) Texas' Steve Worster bulled and I his way seven hard vards tor a touchdown with 39 seconds to play Saturday to give the Longhorns a stunning 26-20 victory over Oklahoma in a bitter intersectional clash. The Longhorns seemed a beaten bunch after Oklahoma quarterback Bob Warmack had sprinted 15 yards for a 20-19 Oklahoma lparl with hut 2:37 Tight Husker Nebraska's way.

The Huskers were ready. Dana Stephenson punted and Donnie Shanklin, Kansas' flashy tailback, signalled for a fair catch but fumbled, the ball. On it like a flash was Joe Orduna, the 196-pound junior halfback from Omaha who led the game's ground gainers with 98 yards. Sudden Score Joe obviously got a good feeling out of that recovery, which came on the Kansas 28. On the very next play he took a pitchout from Ernie Sigler, went to the right, then cut back left for the touchdown that sent the crimson-clad viewers into ecstasy.

They didn't seem to mind much when Paul Rogers of Rock Rapids, who had hit seven for seven, missed the conversion kick. It wasn't much of a day for the Iowan, whose place kicks had provided the victory margin over Wyoming and Minnesota. With eight seconds of the half remaining the Huskers were deep in enemy terrain on the 20, but this time Paul's place kick, with official's call Okla.

Houston's 75-yard drive in the second quarter was capped by James Strongs touchdown from the nine. which would have made it 9-0 at the half, was far enough but wide to the right. Rogers had another chance immediately after things got started after the rest period, this one from the 37.

But it never got into the air as the Kansans swarmed in to block it. Intentional Safety Bill Bell 'really lit the spark under the Jayhawks with a punt from mid-field that was downed on the one. Coach Bob Devaney, rather than risk a punt into the 12-mile-an-hour wind, ordered an intentional safety. Ernie Sigler carried out the maneuver which made the score 6-2. It also gave Nebraska a free kick from its 20.

Soon came an exchange of fumbles, but the second one set up the chance for Kansas to go in front for the first time which it did. Nebraska's Dick Davis bob-bled a pitchout and Emery Hicks bellied ihe ball for Kansas on the home 19. In six plays the score was 8-6, which Bell changed into 9-6. Big gains were a Douglass- Junior Riggins pass to the seven, and an end sweep by Doug lass to the one. The touchdown went to Shank lin who made a high dive into vacated territory.

50-Yard Drive That's the way the period ended, but the Huskers weren't through. They like to call the shots in this league, and it seemed they might early in the fourth period when they. cut. loose with a 50-yard scoring drive that ended with Orduna slanted over right tackle for the final yard and Rogers' place kicking put the Nebraska front, 13-9. A successful fourth-down gamble by Sigler that brought a first down on the 25 was vital, but even more so was a 20-yard gallop to the five by Davis, who found a big hole before being chased out of bounds.

At this stage Husker hopes were That ended in five minutes in which Kansas', offense functioned effectively for the first time in a 73-yard 27-14 BREEZE FOR MISSOURI COLUMBIA, MO.
