Thousands, roughly 27,000, of Big Red Nebraska fan went back north rejoicing Saturday after the awnnletion of jet anotberCornhuskerviiL Some, however, were in merriment more than omen. Those were the ones who happened to have a wager against the Las Vegas-spread 33 pants. As the KSU Stadium dock ticked to xero, their mood went from semi-grief to ecstasy on the final snap of the game. It was on the final play mat Jon Kelley scared from the one-yard hnc. That burst op the middle not only gave NU their fiOOth career victory, but a 3rpomt, instead of 31, decision over Kansas State, 41-S.

The last second TD left Kansas State coach Lee noon's disposition less thansnnny. "Replayed our butts off from start to finish, but I was disappointed with the finish, remember it," Moon said of NITs final score. TKA Iha wW Tan (Uan say anything to lloon about the final score? "I didnt go look for lloon responded with an icy stare. The K-State players, though, were more understanding "They're there to score, said Barton Hundley. It's our job to stop them, and we didnt' do it." Les Miller added, "It kind of teed me off, but I understand why they have to do it" The KdleyTD soured an otherwise profitable day for the 'Cats, who for the most part played as weO as they can play.

"I thought we did some things well. We threw the ball pretty well, but we just couldn't sustain a lloon said. "In the second half, our defense really played hard. They didn't give up. They have nothing to be ashamed of.

We deserved better than what we got" What Nebraska got was commendable play from fullback Tom Rathman and backup I-back Paul Miles. Rathman rushed for 84 yards on 11 carries and scored on runs of 37- and 9-yards while Miles rushed for S3 yards on ll carries and bad TDs of 21-and 4-yards. Adding to NU's 450-yard assault, was Doug DuBose with 82 yards of rushing, and field goals of 39- and 50-yards by Dale Klein, which ran bis season total to 12 tying the Husker school record for a single season. yj: yj v''f aiv.Tros,Mt ir that, K-State scored its only points of the day on Mark, Porter's 44-yard field goal. Porter is now six -of -six in kicking three-pointers this season.

By the half NU had padded the leadto24-3. The Huskers would only add Klein's 50-yard boot in the third stanza and a Miles run in the fourth period before the final play of the game. "1 thought coming in that Kan-sas State had a strong defense and mat it could be tough to move the ball. And it was," Osborne said. Husker QB Travis Turner added, "They came out and played 'us They gave a good fight." No one fought harder than Hundley.

The all-Big Eight free safety intercepted a pair of passes, broke up another and had 11 tackles. '1 was half-way pleased," said a weary Hundley as he slumped against his locker. "You always remember the plays you didnt make though. 1 could have had two mare interceptions and I missed a tackle I should have made' But, basically, Hundley left this one pleased. "Wee getting better.

The offense moved the ball faily well, foutwe just gave up too many big plays on defense. But it's a lot better than last year when they i(NU) did about anything they wantedto." Les Miller, who was moved to an end an defense from his tackle spot because of injuries, was also as pleased as passible in losing. "We played hard. I know I did because of the way I feel. I hurt," said Miller, who was credited with four stops.

Quarterback sacks made K-State's final offensive statistics deceiving. They did move the ball for a total of 240 yards, but their net total was only 186 because of 54 yards in John Welch sacks. "We moved the ball pretty well, but we nave to establish a ground game and I have to learn to throw the ball away more so I donl put my team in bad situations. We moved the ball, but just couldn't execute in crucial moments." Welch hit 15-of-34 passes on the day for 128 yards with Gerald Alpnin latching on to five of those Norris Cofeman (No. 44) goes for 62 yards on 14 carries.

"We moved the ball up the field today, but the scoreboard didn't show it," Moody said. "We wanted to control the football with play action passes and with the dropback game, running the underneath routes," Moon said. "I thought we did a pretty good job." "Our main goal was to stop the Tun, and we did that," said NU linebacker, Mike Knox. "Their piain weapon is the pass, and we were able to stop that too." The 'Cats will now take their 1-3 Big Eight and 1-7 overall record to Stillwater Saturday for" their next action against Oklahoma State. How They Scored Firat quarter Nebraska 7.

Saturday afternoon at KSU Stadium, they were everywhere. They started with the ocean of Nebraska red that fined the south end of KSU Stadium before overflowing into the east and west sides of the Wildcat football home, and ended with a roar that echoed throughout the stadium long after the fifth -ranked Cor-nhuskers bad defeated the Wildcats, 41-3. The atmosphere may have been similar to that of a Nebraska home football game in Tom Rathman rushes for "The offense was able to move the ball an but we need to get better," Osborne said. "We need to pass the ball better (fi-of-17 or 75 yards and two mtercep-tions) than we old. We dropped a Uncom but that was only the deception.

Of the 41MO fans that witnessed Nebraska's win over the Wildcats, an estimated 27,000 of them were followers of Nebraska football It's what people from the Cor-nhusker state refer to as "Big Red Mania They came to Manhattan in every way imaginable. Cars, buses, and motor homes with Nebraska license plates filled the parking lot and all roads leading to the stadium, oumumbering the Kansas motorists in some areas four to one. Nebraska faithfuls Tool Anton, Susan Andersen and Sally tunities to It was just one week earlier that the Kansas State was the hero in a 20-17 win at Missouri. K-State forced Missouri into turnovers on three successive possessions in the third quarter, twice killing the Tigers when Mhzou bad first-and-goal situations at the KSU 1-yard line. No goal-line stands were made this time around, but the Wildcats were able to get a grip on the high-powered NU offense.

"We didn't play that bad on defense," said KSU coach Lee Moon. "I thought we played extremely weO defensively in the second half. We blitzed a lot more today than in the past I thought that kept them off guard. Moon didn't argue. "He's a heckuva player.

You hear so much about their tailback mat Rathman doesn't get the credit be deserves." It was Rathman who put' the Coleman nets 37 The name is Morris Coleman. Basketball's his game.

Glandt, members of the Alpha Phi sorority at NU, were part of the red wave at Saturday's game. "It's a great feeling to come to these games and see our fans outnumber the home team," said Anton. "It's great to be a Husker fan. If theteam went to Japan to play, we'd be right behind them on the next boat." "Having 30,000 fans at every game is awesome," commented an enthusiastic Andersen.

"Everybody in the stadium gets caught up in the Big Red Mania. It a great feeling."

Abo, Barton Hundley obviously played weO. You just can't spot Nebraska 24 points and expect to win the football game." "We're getting better each week," said who intercepted a pair of passes. "The defense has been consistent and the offense is starting to move the ball some more.

It's important that we get better each week and we're dang that" "That win against Missouri helped practices go better this week," said Wallerstedt, a Manhattan High graduate.

Barton Hundley and the rest of the Kansas State defensive unit don't need to hang their beads. Yeah, the Nebraska Cor-nhuskers got their 41 points, but that's beside the point.

The Wildcat defense did their job. "We played them closer than 41-3, or at least that's what I think," said Wallers tedt, who was in on five tackles from his linebacker position. "You gotta feel good and you can't get down about this," Wallerstedt -added.
