Relentless Missouri stormed past Oklahoma, 30-0, and into a New Year's Day Sugar Bowl carance Saturday as quarterback Gary Lane enjoyed one of his finest hours. Lane tied a school record Shared by 13 players as he scored three times against the Sooners, whose defensive unit sorely missed the presence of All-America linebacker a McAdams. But even bad McAdams, sidelined by a sprained ankle, been in action it is doubtful that the Sooners would have been able to handle the awesome Missouri attack. The Tigers rolled up 378 yards and didn't have to punt until midway in the third quarter.

The Tigers ended 20 years of frustration against a homa on their home field, winning for the first i since a 14-6 tiiumph in 1945. The quick acceptance of the Sugar Bowl invitation extended by Dr. Fred Wolfe and Paul LeBlanc of New Orleans puts Missouri in a post-season game for the ninth time. It marks the fourth trip in eight years under Dan Devine, who has sent a pair of teams to the Orange Bowl and one to the Bluebonnet Bowl. "It was one of those days when nothing went right," Oklahoma coach Corner Jones lamented.

"We stopped their first drive on the four yard line, then that punt return by Johnny Roland and a fumble a them two quick touchdowns," he pointed out. Missouri, opening with a rish like it did two weeks ago against Nebraska, quickly marched downfield on running of Big Eight rushing leader Charlie Brown and timely passing by Lane in the opening minutes. But after earning a third and one situation at the five the Tigers were stopped in their tracks by the Sooners. All Mizzou needed was time, however, and when the Soon- ers were forced to punt, Roland put the Tigers back in scoring position. Roland fielded the kick at his own 13, slippd through a pair of defenders at the 20 and was within one block of breaking for 87 yards and a touchdown.

But punter Mike -Ringer caught him at Oklahoma 34. It took just six plays for ''the inspired Tigers to punch it across. Lane went the fin(Oi three yards around end, with 1:24 left in 1 opening period. The Tigers roared back with another lightning strike after Oklahoma's Ron Shotts fumbled at his own 47. Lane wasted no time taking advantage of the break, lofting a 38-yard toss lo Monroe Phels to move the ball to the nine as the quarter ended.

He put the Tigers on the Scoreboard again three plays later with a three-yard toss to end Jim Waller. A 29-yard field goal by Bill Bates pushed Missouri margin to 17-0 at halftime. The onslaught continued in the second half as Brown, who ran for 96 yards in 16 carries, and Lane, who ran for 72 yards and passed for 83, methodically picked apart the Sooner defense. "Our not having McAdams definitely hurt us, but it was no excuse," said Jones praising Missouri as a big, strong team which will make an excellent bowl representative. "Carl's the leader of our defense and when you your leader it lias an effect on the rest of the players," but I will say that our kids can't give up," Jones observed.

Lane reached for a a i of four-yard touchdowns on the pass-run option to complete the Missouri scoring in third quarter.

"They came from behind and won in the fourth quarter," Cutcbin drawled as he switched from Cowboy boots to more conventional footwear. "That's the mark of a good football team." Cutchin, obviously disappointed, was impressed with both squads. "We played well," he said.

"I think that's the best complete game we've played. We've played better in spots but not for an eatire afternoon. Nebraska is big and strong and deserves everything it has earned." The ex-Alabama assistant said the double-slot formation employed by the w- boys was put in especially for Nebraska. "It wasn't much different. We just moved one halfback and one end over a little," he said.

Cutchin cited a play he figured might have cost Oklahoma State the upset of the year. "When we threw that interception in the end zone in Crazy Kick Sets Stage for Pokes Duke Wallops Wake Forest Durham, N.C.

Nebraska had the ball on all but 11 plays in the second quarter, but (hey didn't get even until only 2:53 remained when Kirkland scored his first of two touchdowns for the day two yards.

That climaxed a 58-yard drive in 10 plays, started when Marv Mueller intercepted his first of passes in the quarter at the Nebraska 42. As was the case most of the day, it was Kirkland and Wilson who did most of the toting, Kirkland having runs of nine, five, ten and two in the drive and Wilson ripping one off for 11. It looked like the trend was going to be reversed in the second half. Nebraska's Jerry Patton recovered a fumble by Elliott on the opening kickoff at the Nebraska 22 and it took only five plays for the second (or third)-ranked to score. On the first play.

Kirkland reached for 15 on a pitchout wide to the right. Solich and Charlie Winters moved it to the two, from where Kirkland bolted in. Wachholtz converted and the Huskers enjoyed a 14-7 lead with 13:06 to go. Neither team got much going until that exciting quarter when Oklahoma State moved to the brink of a classic upset. 0-State drove from the Poke 49 to the 28, thanks in part to a pass interference call against Nebraska.

Durkee, who had kicked five field goals mis year, kicked his sixth from the 45-yard line and put the Pokes within striking distance i 10:56 to play in the final period. A goofy punt by Kirkland almost proved to be the undoing. It really wasn't that bad a kick, but the bound was one to put 0-State coach Phil Cutchin into a orbit. It hit on the Poke 48 but bounced all the a back to the Nebraska 35. With Garrison earning 19 of it, Oklahoma State covered the 35 yards in seven plays, Baxter getting it from three yards out.

0-State took away a couple of things Saturday. The Huskers were thwarted in any attempt at running back a kick by Baxter's i aerials. And the pass was like a rusty gun, until the critical drive The Lineups OKLAHOMA STATE NEBRASKA Offense LE--Sellari LT--Akin LG--Francis C-CIick RG--Gasch RT--Havern RE--Chadwick QB--Baxter, Burris LH--Elliott, Lawson RH--Dickerson, Bonne FB--Garrison Defense LE--Young, Sneed LT--McCrabb LG--Harper, Christian RG--Davis, Goodwin RT--Randall RE--Cathey LB--Cheatwood, Lavender LB--Miler LH--Nahrgang RII-GHI S--Settle, Cheaiwood Offense LE--Jeter LT--Carlson LG--Allers C--Petersen RG--Osberg RT--Brown RE--White, Richnafsky QB--Duda, Weber LH--Kirkland.

If we just had overthrown the ball and then kicked a field goal, we'd have been kicking a field goal on the last play of the game from the 23 and that could have been the difference. There were a lot of plays where we could have won, however. "When you run out of time on the other folks' five-yard line, you can look back and see a jillion little things that would have saved two additional plays. "Do you-all know that's two straight games we've ended up on the five-yard line and the clock has run out on us? Happened at Iowa State, too." Cutchin said the Cowboys ran star fullback Walt Garrison on draw plays late in the day "because Nebraska had to anticipate a pass." Asked if he had ordered a field goal when Nebraska jumped offsides while Cowboys lined up in kicking formation with a fourth-and- three situation at the Husker 13 late in the fourth quarter, Cutchin replied, "I ain't a goin' to tell yon.

That situation might arise again." The five-yard penalty set State up at the eight-yard line and a go-ahead touchdown resulted. Fullback Garrison, the Big Eight's leading ground-gainer a year ago, lamented his near-miss failure to score on the last play. He socked from the 23 to the 5. "The last man got me." Garrison said. "It was a draw play up the middle.

I told our guys in the huddle to knock everybody down and they almost did. Their secondary was laying back looking for the pass." Lineman Charles Harper credited an open date between the Iowa State a Nebraska matches. "We had two weeks to get ready, and that helped a lot. We wanted this one worst ot all. We were iired-up all right.

"Nebraska did just what we expected lined up and tried to run over us. awfully big and strong." Teammate Hugh McCrabb seconded that. "Their half backs were such fine blockers," he said. "That impressed me the most. We're real i a i we thought we could win.

I knew from the way we practiced we would give them a good run for their money." Defensive stickout Harry Cheatwood said "Nebraska was just big and hit hard. They didn't try to deceive us. Their running backs are elusive and cut against the grain real well. "We were in a do-or-die situation and we almost did it." 1 I'unu. humbler I Boulder.

Colo. i.f--Fa Colorado, listless and outplayed for nearly three quarters charged in for two fourtn quarter touchdowns to overcome Kansas, 21-14 for a Big Eight football victory Saturday. Kansas stung Colorado with the first touchdown in the second quarter and after the Buffaloes tied it, 7-7. minutes later the game settled into a scoreless tug of war until the Buffaloes turned two pass interceptions into final period touchdowns. George stole a Bill Fenton pass on the Colorado 43 to one touchdown march and Kerry Mottl stole another Fenton throw on Colorado's 49 to set up the second.

After Colorado went ahead 1-7 on quarterback Berme VfcCalTs 20-yard scoring pass Lewark, Kansas' left-handed quarterback Bob Skahan completed four passes to Haley Kampschroeder for Kansas' final score.

Iff)-- Quarterback Tim Van Galder bettered three Iowa State football records Saturday in leading the Cyclones to a 38-6 i Eight conference victory over Kansas State. Van Galder completed 21 of 44 passes for 293 yards, and he also scored on a three- yard run.

The slender junior Madison, added 51 yards rushing for a school record offense of 344 yards. His 293 yards passing topped the 281 yards by Bill Weeks in 1950 and his 344 total yards gained bettered the 320-yard i le game mark by Dave Hoppmann in 1960. The 44 passes attempted by Van Galder also was a school record and the 21 completions fell one short of a new mark. Van Galder engineered a five player scoring barrage as the Cyclones brought i conference record to 3-3-1 on the last Big Eight game of the season. It was the sixth straight conference a for the Wildcats and their ninth for the season.

But Stillwater. Okla The Orange announcement coming out of here after the Nebraska-Oklahoma State game comes as no surprise to many Husker fans who have heard all the rumors the week that their favorites were headed for M.ami, Fla. But while many of the ians were prepared for the announcement, nearly as many were hoping it wouldn't ba- true. A Miami trip is out of the question for many fans who could have followed the team to a return trip to Dallas.

However, the bowl trip is most of all a reward for the team and coaches, not a reward to the fans although their support is certainly appreciated by every one connected with the Cornhusker team. While keeping winning as the primary object, head coach Bob Devaney looks at a bowl trip as a reward for a successful season, a treat for the boys who have earned some fun by giving up two or three hours daily since the first of September When speaking ot tun. vou can't top Miami with its palm trees, sandv beaches just off the back door of your hotel, horse racing, dog racing, jai alai You can't come close to touching it any where except New Orleans Now before you start writing letters to the editor complaining that while fun is a factor, winning is also important, take a look at Devaney's bowl record. In the Husker football history B.D. Devaney), Nebraska was 0-2 in bowl games.

Since his arrival, they are 2-1 with the only loss coming to perhaps the finest footbal 1 team in the country last year when Arkansas scored a 10-7 win in the Cotton Bowl. What About a Rematch? The major item Husker fans can argue about is that their heros should have taken another shot at Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl. Maybe so, but this had drawbacks. The major reason for the players overlooking the Cotton Bowl is that there would be no assurance until after next Saturday that Arkansas would be the Cotton Bowl foe. An Arkansas loss te Texas Tech would put the Red Raiders in Dallas Jan.

1 and playing Texas Tech certainly would not draw rave notices anywhere but in Lubbock, and in Lincoln. And even if you do play Arkansas, you aren't going to prove anything except maybe you can slap them back for the back-hand they hit you with last New Year's Day. One can argue that Nebraska should have waited to see if a battle of unbeaten could be set up between the Husker and the Hogs. The Huskers certainly were in the driver's seat and likely could have made the bowls wait. But could they afford to make Husker fans wait? Pressure was building every day from NU fans who wanted to get their reservations in.

With fans talking more about whether it would be the Orange or Cotton Bowl than about whether they were going to win the upcoming game, it became increasingly difficult to keep the players' minds on the next game.

Whoever wins, they aren't going to be recognized as the champion. That plum is going to either Notre Dame or Michigan State, which means that the best the Huskers and Hogs could be playing for is second place. And, thank goodness, athletes are not like car rentals. They never find much to boast about if they are only No. 2.

The only thing that really matters is No. 1. Beyond that, it's all the same. It also is quite likely that Nebraska's Orange Bowl foe, Alabama, is as good as Arkansas. Their only loss came to Georgia in the season opener on a highly-disputed call.

But the best argument for Miami is that it was the players' choice. They earned it and they decided. It's somewhat like your youngster earning a dollar mowing a lawn. He earned the money and he should be able to spend it where he wants. Defense Leads California, 24-0 I Portland, Ore.
