ST. JOSEPH, MISSOURI SECTION SUNDAY, NOV. 2, 1975 SPORTS ST. JOSEPH NEWS-PRESS -WANT ADS Nebraska resorts to trickery to whip Missouri By TOM DOMALSKI COLUMBIA Mo. The Nebraska Cornhuskers ended two years of Missouri football frustration Saturday afternoon by defeating Tigers, 30-7 before a Faurot field crowd of 68,195, and a national television audience.

The Cornhuskers led throughout the bitter contest which had led to Missouri upsets the last two times the Big Eight teams had met. But the game was a close until Nebraska pulled out a leftover Halloween trick. The trick was a fake punt from the Missouri 40, and the prankster was back John O'Leary, who ran 40 yards along the left sideline to score unmolested. The trick fooled everyone in the 16-7 second quarter lead. Tigers stadium, and treated Big Red, fans to a seemed deflated after the touchdown romp and never regained enough momentum to score again.

The Nebraska defense lived up to its awesome reputation for the remainder of the afternoon, sacking Tiger quarterback Steve Pisarkiewiez nine times for a total yards. When the Mizzou quarterback Had' time, he seemed bewildered by the Cornhusker pass coverage.

Kearney burned the Griffons for two quick first quarter counters and then went on for its fifth victory of the season against two losses. Missouri Western, having lost two in a row for the first time this year, is now 5-4-1 and finding themselves in the position of having to scrap for a winning season. The Antelopes got their first touchdown with 12:01 left in the first quarter.

The hosts needed only four plays to cover 80 yards sending Bob Simon over from the four. Western couldn't move the ball its next possession, Kearney State scored again: The second Antelope TD came on a six-yard pass from Dick Schwenka to Fred Ivey. Kearney moved out 20-0 when Randy Butts dashed 15 yards with 7:10 remaining in the first half. The Griffons got on the board with 1:17 left in No, this isn't a get-together of that type.

O'Hara kicker Shawn Geraughty was the busiest player on the field as he trotted in to boot 10 straight conversions and was also on the receiving end of one touchdown pass. Lafayette's only score came on a 39-yard pass from David Mitchell to Wally Veale in the second period long after O'Hara had fashioned a comfortable lead. The Irish scored three times in the first period and three times in the second, for a 42-6 lead at the intermission, but still used some firs personnel into the third quarter. Mark Smith and Tom Leo led the O'Hara touchdown parade with a pair of tallies apiece as the Kansas City squad ran its record to 6-2.
