Buffs Trick Play Old as Hills Illinois Check; Badgers, Run: Streak to Foui MADISON, Wis. (AP) Mike Wells passed for tw' touchdowns and Georgi Urcmovieh ran for tvi more Saturday, lending llnois to a 35-27 Irlumpl over Wisconsin nnd It, fourth straight Big Tei football victory. Uremovich, who rushfe By Volncy Meecc Staff Writer BOULDER, Colo. boy," Oklahoma State coach Floyd Gass sighed before turning from his locker to meot the press after the Cowboys had been bolted by Colorado, 40-6, Saturday afternoon. Referring to Colorado's jumping to a 33-0 intermission advantage, a writer ventured, "A long first half, wasn't it?" "Oh, you bet," Floyd said, "and a cold second half.

It was cold out there." Actually, the. temperature was In the high 40's, but It didn't seem like it because of a wind that was gusting to 55 and 60 miles per hour from the west. Gass' analysis of what happened was short and full of praise for the Buffaloes: "They're pretty strong physically. They've got a lot of muscle, a lot of speed." Some of the writers admitted they missed seeing Colorado launch the no-huddle play on which Clif son teams at Oklahoma in the 1050's. The no-huddle maneuver wasn't the only thing that hurt OSU, however.

There were two Branch passes off end-arounds and Charlie Davis' 67-yard scoring trip. Floyd said: "They caught us with the bombs, the long plays. And that speed. They fooled us pretty good." Gass said he didn't think Branch had thrown on the end-around this season. He was complimented about the Pokes' defense holding Colorado scoreless on four ford Branch sprinted 64 yards for a 6-0 lead 23 seconds into the game.

Asked If he saw how the Buffs lined up, Floyd said, "I didn't check it." Offensive coordinator Harvey Griffin, dressing on a bench nearby, did see it. He said, "They ran the same darned play Cameron College has been running for 20 years." Gass confirmed it was what was known as the "swinging gate" play. Originated at Ohio State in the 1930's, it was used effectively by Bud Wilkin possessions following Branch's early shocker. Floyd said, "You can't play defense 60 minutes nnd. expect to stop 'em all day." Were mistakes the main problem with an OSU offense that made only 44 yards the first half and 124 over-all? Gass said, "I think so.

We weren't able to move the ball and we gave the ball up too many times (four Interceptions and one lost fumble)." Asked if the 10 times O-State passers were caught behind the line was the most this season, Gnss said, It ought to be an all-time record." Was he surprised his offense didn't move the ball better? "Yeah," Floyd said. "We thought we could move the ball some on Colorado. But there again, they're just a big, strong football team. Someone reminded Gass he'd said early in the week that Colorado, which has lost only to Oklahoma and Nebraska, might be the No. 3 team in the nation.

Asked if he saw anything Saturday that changed his mind, Gnss replied, "It didn't change my mind one bit after watching 'em today. I'll assure you." Gass said Brent Black-man, who underwent nil appendectomy Oct. 23, wasn't at full strength but that what caused him to leave the game was a knocked-down shoulder. Both Blackman and middle guard Barry Price were to have shoulders x-rayed. Price, asked If he was surprised the Buffs could move the ball the way they did, replied, "I was surprised with that No.

26 (Davis, who rushed 341 yards). He had some real good moves. He looked better than I'd ever seen him." And when a writer asked Price the same question he'd 'asked Gass earlier, Barry said, "A real long day!"

The Cowboys still had to sweat It out as two plays lost back to the four. Blackman was shaken up in losing two and Pounds came in. and sneaked straight ahead to score from the four on third down. His pass for two bonus points was deflected by Gary Carano. John Stearns' Interception of a Pounds pass and 25-yard return to the 14 arranged the game's final score.

Bo Matthews went seven, Johnson six and Tarver one before Dean kicked the final point onto the scoreboard two seconds before round No. 3 ended. Davis, who had 100 at the quarter and 206 at halftime, also broke the CU one-season rushing record, 1,121 set by Whiz-zer White In 1937. Davis now has 1,190. The Buffs set a school record with their 676 yards In total offense.

Their 505 rushing missed the all-time best against OSU by 15 yards, Oklahoma having run 520 in 1956. Only statistical consolation that was Stillwater's was furnished by Bobby Cole, who tallbacked 101 on 16 carries, and Jim Bpnion, who strengthened I second-best-in-the-na-tion punting average with a 53.6 performance, which included boots of 64, 60 and 58. But Fans Not Impressed Tagge Rips K-State down. But while the Cowboys were congratulating themselves, the Buffaloes were lining up without a huddle to the left of the football. Branch took a direct snap, fled to his left and sprinted down the sideline to score with no one laying a glove on him.

B. Dean's placekick hit the right upright and failed, but Colorado got a 6-0 jump only 23 seconds into the game. The aforementioned perseverance came to the fore when the Cowboys proved to be extremely quarrelsome on Colorado's next possessions. The Buffs missed golden scoring opportunities from the OSU 38 after a fumble recovery and from the six after a Pounds pass from h'is. own eight was picked ofl by linebacker Lennie Ciuo and returned 10 yards.

On the latter occasion, defenders Don Geier, Barry Price, Bubba Bain and Crews helped shove the Buffs back to the seven on three plays, after which Dean's field goal effort of 14 was blocked by Rod Warner, who later blocked another three-point boot i and an extra point. The Buffs persevered on their touchdown drive started their second-quarter rampage, too. The attack went into the books as 81 yards on 12 plays but actually the hosts gained 103 Including penalty yardage they had to make up. The Buffs also solved third and eight, first and 25 and first and 21 difficulties during that assault, which featured the 16-yard run by Johnson and his 26-yard pass to tight end J. V.

Cain at the 30. A clipping fine rolled the Buffs out to the 41, but Davis barrelled 18. An offside penalty netted the Buffs a first down on the 19 and Tarver hurdled the line at the end of an eight-yard touchdown run three tries later. Dean's placekick made it 13-0 with 2:22 gone in the second period. Branch's wlpcd-out punt runback and Davis 67-yard beauty came 4:07 into the second round and Branch added two extra points on an end-around to make it 21-0.

The Cowboys were to see that end-around start twice more before inter-- mission and thny didn't likr it either time. First came from OSU's Branch started to his Statistics first half.

Oklahoma had beaten the Wildcats by 4,7 In a 75-28 orgy. Coach Bob Devaney was pleased with his team's performance, noting that Kansas State had been coming real tough through the last three games. He was particularly happy about the offensive showing in Uie first half.

Nebraska scored the first four times it had the bail, and once when it didn't have the ball. The latter came when K-State passer Dennis Morrison was tackled by Willie Harper. His fumble bounced through the end zone. The Huskers, according to game plan, wanted to pass 50 per cent of the time. They fell slightly short of that goal but passes provided the emphasis as they marched 80, 94, 79 K-Slatn made it interesting alter the Huskers had stepped off to a 14-0 lead.

They squeezed in a touchdown, an eight-yard pass from Morrison to Henry Childs to end a 62-yard drive, and a 34-yard field goal by John Goerger. That made it 14-9 with 8:43 left In the half. But in a three-minute span Nebraska put 16 points on the board with a one-yard run by Jeff Kinney and a two-yard run by Gary Dixon, his understudy. Dixon had scored Nebraska's first touchdown. With tho 30-9 lead, the Huskers seemed to relax a bit in the second half.

A 56-yard scoring pass from Tagge to Woody Cox provided a 37-9 lead at the end of the third quarter.
