DES MOINES SUNDAY REGISTER Oct. 77, 1947 Colorado's Big Plays 21- 8-S Topple Huskers, 16 By Jim Moaekler (Sunday Register Staff Writer) r' el- (Lcv it jfe-V fS Big Georgia Defense Pins' V.M.L, 56-6 ByRonSpcer ATHENS, GA. (AP) Fullbacks Ronnie Jenkins and Brad Johnson each scored twice Sat- urday as eighth-ranked Georgia blasted Virginia Military, 56-6, Saturday. The Southeastern Conference power limited V.M.I. to minus 49 yards rushing in rolling up its largest point total since 1958.

The Keydets avoided a shutout in the third quarter when quarterback Russ Quay tossed a short pass to end John Hince and the lanky end raced 73 yards to score. That was the only time V.M.I, got into Georgia territory as the Bulldogs repeatedly threw Quay for losses when the stocky soph-C omore tried to pass. Jenkins, the 'starting scored on runs of six and four yards. Johnson cracked over on-runs of one and seven yards," and another fullback Rusty Epperson picked up Georgia's. final touchdown on a three-yard spurt.

1 Quarterback Kirby- Moore, who failed to score for the first time this fall, tossed a 39-yard touchdown pass to end Dennis Hughes, and second-team quarterback Paul Gil- bert scored on a 10-yard sprint. The other Bulldog touchdown was on a 62-yard punt return by Terry Sellers.

A record throng of 65,766 saw the unbeaten and nationally fourth-ranked Buffaloes come up with the big plays they need ed for their tmra siraigni league victory. Colorado drove 29 yards to tie the score at 7-7 after the Huskers gambled and lost on a fourth-down play, then bolted ahead on a dazzling interception-lateral affair covering 70 yards. The score the Buffs needed to pull out the triumph came on Jeff Raymond's 76-yard interception return in the third quarter.

Rally Fails Everybody in the place figured the Huskers were ready for a face-saving performance on a bright 66-degree day and they were right. Until the final moments, it appeared as if the Buffs might be caught by a fourth-quarter ambush for a second straight year. NeDrasKa had rallied to win by 21-19 at Boulder a year ago.

Coach Bob Devaney's Huskers gave it such a mighty try that they amassed 402 net yards total offense (178 rushing, 224 passing) to 182 for the Buffs. But the alert Colorado pass defense, led by Raymond, picked off four Frank Patrick passes to spoil the effort. Raymond stole a Patrick pass to choke off Nebraska's final threat with little more than a minute left. The Huskers, who had won 20 straight games at home, hadn't lost two regular season games in a row before under Devaney. They scored the second time they get the football, and looked as efficient on offense as at any time this season aside from the interceptions that eventually spelled doom.

Nebraska marched 43 yards for its first touchdown after Jim Hawkins recovered Colorado quarterback Bob Anderson's tumble to open the way. Gregory Scores The Huskers actually had to cover 47 yards after being charged with an illegal motiofT violation, but they overcame that setback when Patrick fired Statistics Colorado Mebraski 14 50 110 178 75 4 fit 2 8-15-1 15-78-4 J-29 -37 1 4 First downs Rushing yardage Passing yardage Return yardage Passes Punts Ptimhies lost Yards penalized 84 40 SCORING Colorado 014 7 021 Nebraska 7 0 316 Neb Gregory 17 pass from Patrick (Bomberger kick) Colo Plantz 6 run (Bartelt kick) Colo Veeder 62 lateral from D.

Disastrous Gamble The Huskers took over and came up wfth fourth and one at the 29.

Showing high faith in their defense, the Huskers went for the first down with disas trous results. Patrick stretched his 6-foot 7-inch frame forward on a quarterback sneak, but he didn't make the yardage. Referee Vance Carlson also ruled that he lost the ball on a fumble. Colorado needed just five plays to score after the charitable act. Anderson opened it with a 10-yard trip over right tackle.

Halfback William Harris and fullback Tom Nigbur, playing in place of jnjured Wilmer Cooks, rushed it to the six. On the next play, substitute halfback Larry Plantz swung left end, eluded cornerback Jim Hawkins at the five and in for the touchdown. Nebraska's nopmg a mate would cover the ball in the end zone, instead, Frank Bosch recovered for the Buffs. A holding penalty against Colorado on a Husker punt Helped Nebraska move 80 yards for a touchdown early in the second half. The Huskers got to the Colorado 40 on the penalty.

After Patrick passed 13 yards to Morrison, Joe Orduna struck out over left tackle, broke Mike Bynum's tackle attempt at the five and completed a 27-yard I 1 Blocked Kick Colorado's Anderson stormed in to block Bomberger's try for the extra point, and the Huskers still trailed, 14-13.

Jacklin Thomas had scored Britain's only two winning 'points in the Scotch two-ball foursomes Friday in which the United States got off to a 5-2V2 lead. Arnold Palmer, held out of the morning action, and his partner, Julius Boros, were forced to stage a strong come back for a 1-up victory over George Will and Hugh Boyle. The British pair soared to a four-hole lead through nine holes with a five-under-par 31 but started sagging after three putting the tenth for their first lossing hole.

Then Palmer won three of the next four holes with birdies, all on putts of under six feet. With the match even going to the final hole, Boros clinched the victory by lagging a putt to within three inches for a conceded winning par. The two Britons failed to hit the green. The series will be completed today with 16 singles duels. The Americans need only win four to clinch the Cup they have won 13 times and lost only three times in 40 years.
