Performing before a homecom ing crowd of 35,000 Missou trailed the Nebraska Husker twice, then powered a 70-yar touchdown drive early in th fourth period for a 14-9 lead an looked like a winner of its fourt straight game. But Nebraska smarting under a three-game los ing streak, unveiled a passing a tack not seen heretofore this sea son. Two passes- by Frank Napp were key plays in the 77-yar game winning drive.

Then, whei the push appeared stopped, Will! Greenlaw hauled back his lef arm and sailed the ball squarely into the arms of Nappi, stepped across the goal line with the counter. Kick Goes Awry Quarterback Harsh man's conversion kick went awry but Harshman already had earnec his keep with a 33-yard field goa! in the third quarter, good for i momentary 9-7 Nebraska lead. The setback chilled the Orange Bowl hopes of Missouri, unbeaten in. two previous league starts With Oklahoma ineligible for a return trip to the Miami, festival the second place Big Seven club is expected to get that prize.

Mixing passes and outside plays with its customary power assaults, Nebraska chieved a first down on Missouri's one yard line and fullback Jerry Brown scorec from inches out on the third try thereafter. Greenlaw's 26 yard punt return set in motion the third quarter Nebraska i culminating in Harshman's field goal. Starting on their 43 as the Huskers drove to Missouri's 23 before the advance was halted and Harshman, backed by a 20 mile wind, booted the counter. Shoulder The Load Nappi and Brown shouldered most of Nebraska's ball carrying chores, averaging 1.7 and 4.7 yards per carry, respectively.
