However, it was far from a case of the heralded Cornhuskers knocking over Oklahoma State like tenpins before an enthralled, emotion-gripped homecoming crowd of Saturday. Few college football teams were more gallant in defeat than the Cowboys, who basked in some of their finest hours in history, carrying Nebraska down to the final seconds before bowing in a flaming 21-17 whingding. By barrelling 75 yards, to hammer home the winner with 38 seconds left, the received and promptly accepted another invitation to the Orange Bowl against an opponent to be named later, probably Alabama.

The victory clinched at least a share of the Big Eight title for Nebraska, which has only Oklahoma barring its path to a 10-0 regular season reading. Hepped up O-State carried it to the Nebraskans most of the way, with a versatile offense and fierce gang-tackling defense that took away the usual Nebraska breakaway runs and made life field goal by O-Stat Charles Durkee whichJ miserable for the Lincoln-, ites in the air. The Cowboys led early and late in the buzzing contest, taking advantage of a short punt to lead by 17-14 and put the issue squarely up to the heavily-favored Huskers, who were far from pleased with their spotty performance that blew hot and cold in the face of heroics by the aroused Orange and Black. But as it had done in a two-point squeaker past Missouri two weeks ago, Nebraska had the stuff when it counted the most, going for broke starting with 5:15 left on the clock. The winners' Eon Kirk-land waged a merry rushing duel with O-State's Walt Garrison, picking up Nebraska fullback Pete Tatman crashes over from the two-yard line with 38 seconds remaining for winning touchdown MISSOURI STAGGERS OU, 30-0 ured vitally in the Pokes' near miss against third-ranked -tearrA Breaks, the kind raja pop up from npwhgre along with those by alert or a forcing s5e of play, figured in scores.

Slate proved it: coiil move on its first but Durkee missed, trying for a 43-yard thrp-pointer. Soon aflerwafd, Glenn Baxter passed "'29 yards to Lynn Chadwiricjat the seven, then Kaye Car-stens took the Huskers of the hole with an end zone interception on Baxter. Trying to pass, visiting quarterback Fred Duda dropped the ball to Charles Harper at the Nebraska eight, when hit hard by Hugh McCrabb. The Pokes boomed over in three plays as Larry picked up the final -yard and Dufkc-c; converted to jar awake the Huskers with a 7-0 edge. Marv Mueller's1 interception on Baxter galvanized Nebraska into a ''scoring mood in the second --quarter, after which the i-fusk-ers tied it up by prbdcllng 58 yards on 10 plays; This series was allujlrk-lancl, Harry Wilson and Ben Gregory, Kirkland getting the Inst two yards and place kicking Larry Wnchholtz the 7-7 Fir-it play after permission had clisaster'writ-'' ton on it, for "-'Elllort f.f-e.d Gary kickoff on Stale's 22 With Patton racing down to make the rqcovory Nebraska porkeci upto go in front for iho'i'Orsl time on live hoK, 'i kt lick' being Kh-klniKl's-lw; yard swoop of right-end.

The visitors' only threat of the first half expired on the Mizzou 24 when a fourth-and-eight pass picked up only five yards. Meanwhile, the Missourians were taking apart the Sooners' McAdams-less defense. The Sooners did stop the Tigers' first offensive, a 55-yarder to the four with the opening kickoff. But the Bengals used Roland's 53-yard punt return and a.

recovered fumble to score 14 points in 98 seconds, then made a cross-country march pay off in a field goal and 17-0 half-time advantage.

But McAdams couldn't have made much difference.

The Sooners were out-rushed, 295-83, and their 131-83 passing edge was extremely misleading.

Missouri's slick, muscular Tigers blended two recovered fumbles, the running heroics of Charlie Brown and Johnny Roland and the brilliant quarterbacking of Gary Lane into a huge helping of humiliation for Oklahoma Saturday, steamrollering the Sooners, 30-0, before 51,000 spectators, The verdict, first Mizzou had scored over Oklahoma in Columbia since 1945, belted the Sooners out of the Big Eight race and boosted the Bengals into the Sugar Bowl. Missouri, 5-1 in the circuit and 6-2-1 overall with only Kansas left on the slate, accepted an invitation to New Orleans' New Year's Day presentation during a not-too-suspenseful meeting in the dressing room.
