Sali Oct. ry, IMS nan Is Nebraska Defensive De BUI Ljru Seokbcil By BUI (The Jwu-uTi Spwts Etftor) MANHATTAN A former football standout for the Salina proved to be a defensive demon Saturday as the Nebraska Cornhuskers limited the K-State to 72 yardi rushing and 23 yards passing in their 4i-o Big Eight victory. Lynn Seokbeil, who at time thought of attending Kansas State before selecting Nebraska, played the right linebacker spot for the Huskers and called defensive signals. The former Salinan, who still lists Salina as his home town on the Nebraska roster, leads the Cornhuskers team in tackles this season and he collected several more Saturday afternoon. "I really didn't have a very good afternoov," Swk- beti said in the Husker dressing room after the game.

However, the young gridder was only being modest. From the press box it was apparent he was doing his job adequately. Asked about the remainder of the schedule, the Nebraska linebacker, who also has played some defensive tackle, said, "They'll all he tough from on. But I look for Missouri to be our toughest game. However, Colorado is our next goal." Devaney, Nebraska's Irish coach, caid the Kansas State, game was "another one I'm glad to have over.

They (K-State) played pretty good ball. "They exhibited the ability to move the offense better today than in game pictures I saw of their games. "The arly part of their mon ground defense was quite good. Their idea was to force us to throw the ball and they tried to defense our ground game and hoped to stop our passing game. "While they weren't kicking it far at other they covered their punts real well." Turning to his own pees defense, Devaney said he thought the N'ebraska pass defense was adequate.

Looking over statistics of the game he noted the Wildcats completed only six of 23 passes.

KWU Falls 27-6 After A Fierce First Half OTTAWA Kansas Wesleyan kept the Ottawa Braves off balance with a fierce rush Saturday night but the undefeated Tribe broke away for three last half touchdowns and a 27-6 Kansas conference victory here Saturday night.

The fast-charging Coyotes limited the Braves to only 62 yards rushing the first half and a 7-6 intermission advantage. Wesleyan also concentrated on the Braves' Ed (Buzz Bomb) Buzzell, the nation's leading passer. Although Buzzell connected on 14 of his 29 tosses in the game, he hit only one touchdown pass, his 21st scoring heave of the season. He ran his career record to 2 touchdown passes, only two shy of ticing the NAIA record and three short of setting a new mark. The Braves finally netted 148 yards rushing, to 218 for the Coyotes and gained 240 in the air to 91 for Wesleyan.

The Salinans picked up 146 of those the first half. Florida Rolls Over NCS 28-6 GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -With Steve Spurrier and Charles Casey setting passing records, the ninth-ranked Florida Gators rolled over North Carolina State 28-6 Saturday in a wild offensive display. Spurrier passed to Casey for two and set up the other two. An Interception and a penalty prevented two other touchdowns, and three field goal attempts failed.

North Carolina State came up with its own offense in the second half and threatened to make a game of it at 14-6 before Spurrier once again took command and iced it with two fourth-period scores. Florida was a three-touchdown favorite and lived up to it in posting its fourth victory of five games. The Gators marched 53, 49, 67 and 36 yards for their touchdowns. Spurrier set schools records of 21 pass completions and 250 yards, and Casey set one with 10 receptions. Florida had to punt only three times, but the Gators managed to stumble and mess up six chances.

N.C. Statt 0 0 6 0 6 Florida 7 7 0 14--28 Errors Hurt Wesleyan's greatest enemy Saturday night was its own mistakes. The Coyotes lost three Jets, Raiders Tie Af 24-24 NEW YORK (AP) Reserve quarterback Mike Taliaferro came on for a limp and limping Joe Namath in the fourth quarter, hit Don Maynard with a three-yard touchdown pass and brought the New York Jets a 2424 American Football League tie with Oakland Saturday night. Namath, the Jets' quarterback, had a dismal night and finally left late in the third quarter after missing six consecutive passes. As he trotted to the sidelines, he was limping visibly, but reports from the bench indicated he was not hurt.

The Jets trailed 21-1? when Namath left and 24-17 after Gen Mingo added a 38-yard field goal. Taliaferro then came in and drove the Jets to the Oakland 12 but was unable to take them in. However, after Oakland was unable to move fhe ball, Mike Mercer dropped back to punt. He fumbled the high snap from center, and linebacker Wahoo McDaniel fell on the ball on the three-yard lirie. On the next play, Taliaferro faded back, and with defender John Williamson clutching him around the waist, flipped the short pass to Maynard for the tying touchdown.

Oakland 0 14 7 3--24 New York 0 17 0 7--24 fumbles and saw four passes in tercepted. At the same time Wesleyan nabbed four Ottawa passes one of them by Buzzell, anc latched on to one Braves bob ble. A Wesleyan fumble on the opening kickoff led to Ottawa's first score. The Braves recovered on the Wesleyan 23 and four plays later Buzzell hit end Leonard Scheufler with a 4-yard touchdown pass Francis Mallard kicked the point. The Coyotes came back in the first quarter to tally with freshman halfback Al Fahring going seven yards.

Gary Fields' attempted conversion hit the crossbars. In the third period flanker Dick Booth ran 74 yards on a double reverse with 5:29 remaining and Mallard again kicked the point. Paul Peffly scored both Ottawa tallies the final period. With 12:35 remaining he went 24 yards and with 8:38 left, he went seven yards. Dennis Lambert intercepted the stray Ottawa passes.

Gary Leazure, replacing the injured Dee Kolzow, turned in a fine job running the Coyote attack. Statin 11 Wrslejan Ottawa By Ed Shearer Associated Press Writer FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (API Quarterback Jon Brittenum drove Arkansas 80 yards in the closing minutes and got the touchdown that toppled mighty Texas, the nation's No. 1 team, 27-24, in a battle for national Football supremacy Saturday. Brittenum squeezed into the end zone with 1:32 left, snapping Texas winning streak at 10 games, and extending third- ranked Arkansas' to 17, longest in the nation by a major college team.

It may have been the game that decides the championship in the Southwest Conference. Desperation Drive The desperation drive closed the book a magnificent comeback by the Longhorns, who trailed 20-0 after Arkansas unleashed defensive thunderbolts that netted two touchdowns, one on a 77-yard fumble return by speedy Tommy Tra-n- tham. Marvelous Marv Kristynik, a gambler's gambler, turned to the lowly pass when Texas found that it could not move with the tried and true--its ground attack. Kristynik opened up the Razorback defenses with his passing, and, when thwarted, scrambled for the necessary yards himself. He plunged one yard for a touchdown and ran 14 yards for another.

Three Fillers David Conway, called upon to fulfill dying drives, kicked field gcals of 35, 34 and 34 yards for the Longhorns. That gave Texas a 24-21 lead. Then the six-foot, 180-pound Brittenum let go. He hit six passes in the clinching drive, four of them to end Bobby Crockett, who took the Ic6t one for 14 yards in a falling catch at the Texas one. Brittenum went in on the next play.

An interception stepped the ensuing, and final, Texas possession.

"They played tough the first quarter and were blocking up the middle well," Duda said.

"We thought if we would throw the ball we would loosen them up." Nebraska did throw the ball well. They hit 13 of 25 passes for 134 yards and picked up 250 yards rushing. Plan Was Okay Devane said there was nothing wrong with Doug Weaver's defensive plan for the game. "I would say that for two thirds of the game they did a good job of slowing down our running game." K-State's Weaver singled out halfback Charlie Cottle for his offensive play. Cottle" gained 63 yards in 14 carries.

"The offense is looking up," Weaver said. "I am hopeful in coming games when the opportunity to score presents itself we'll be ready to score. "We'll never be statistically great. It's hard to score against a team like Nebraska as they don't make mistakes. "We're going to have an offense here but we'll have to he able to hit Tfct we did complete today was fantastic catches." "I have nothing but admiration for our defensive, teams," Weaver concluded.

"John Cairl played a fine game at defensive tackle and that's where he'll stay." While the Cornhuskers out on the field, someone brokt into the Nebraska locker room. Halfback Harry Wilson returned to find $40 missing from his billfold and Dennis Richanfsky lost Husfcers Bomb K-State 41-0 By Jim Van Valkenburg Associate Press Sports Writer MANHATTAN, Kan.

Wilson got Nebraska's first touchdown on a 11-yard run, ending a 62-yard drive in which Duda hit four of seven passes. An 11-yard punt in which the K-State kicker was severely rushed set up the second touchdown.

Bob CKurchich, Big Eight passing champion last year, took over at quarterback for Nebraska in the last half and directed 84 and 53 yard touchdown drives.
