Cornhuskers Crush Kansas 6 42 A Comhusker Offensive Frolic Sore Footed Wachholtz Ties Conversion Record i iiuica i i a total offense figure of 510 yards. Longest Husker gain of the day was 40 yards, twice by Kirkland, who both times had a hole wide enough to start the Indianapolis 500 through. Little doubt surrounded the outcome from the time Nebraska marched 61 yards for its first score with 4:05 left in the first quarter. After helping the line open holes for seven and eight yard gains by Kirkland and Solich, Wilson turned ball carrier at the Kansas 20 and put the ball at the five. Then with six men in the Nebraska backfield two KU linemen who jumped offsides included Kirkland skirted right end for the score and Wachholtz kicked the first of his six conversions for a 7 0 NU lead.

A rout appeared to be under way moments later when Nebraska forced KU to punt and the Huskers started a second scoring drive at their own 41. One of Kirkland's 40 yard runs Continued on Page 3C, Col. 4 SECTION LINCOLN, highest point total of season. Only the 44 against Iowa State topped the point total on the Husker side of the scoreboard this season and while his first string teammates showed little regard for his throbbing toe, Wachholtz found a sympathizer in NU coach Bob Devaney, who emptied his bench throughout the fourth quarter. The only help Husker teammates gave Wachholtz' injured foot Saturday was in the rest they provided him between scoring plays.

All but one of the scoring efforts came on long, time consuming drives. The Huskers threw their book of spectacular plays away against the Jay hawks and appeared content to NU's Ron Kirkland rambles for part of the 147 yards he gained against the Jayhawks. a Defensive Dandy Devaiiey: NU Bowl Decision Will By CURT MOSHER There isn't a lot of re hashing involved when a game ends 42 6. And that's what happened Saturday so there wasn't. But there was the usual discussion of pluses and minuses and Nebraska coach Bob Devaney had some thoughts about both.

And he also had some thoughts about bowls, a subject Bob discussed in soft tones despite the fact he would naturally prefer to ignore it. "We haven't done anything at all," Bob said of the bowl situation. "We haven't discussed it with the team. We'll try to hold off as long as we can. And we'd like to go to the end of the season." The Huskers have two left, next Saturday at Stillwater and Thanksgiving Day here against Oklahoma on national television.

2 team, extended their undefeated streak to 20 games by overwhelming out a Rice, 31 0. Burnett scored two touchdowns, set up another, and saw his running play a major role in a drive that led to a 37 yard field goal by Ronny South. A crowd of 46,000, including Lynda Bird, Johnson, eldest daughter of the President, watched. The victory was Arkansas' 13th in a row in Southwest Conference play, a record that exceeded a streak of 12 by Texas in 1963 64. Arkansas scored the first two times it had the ball and boosted its halftime lead to 17 0 when Burnett scored after Bobby Roper intercepted a Rice pass and raced 49 yards to the Owl nine in the second quarter.

Arkansas drove 64 yards for an early touchdown in the fourth period and closed with a 10 yard touchdown by Jim Lindsey on the first play after another pass interception with six minutes remaining. The Porker defense permitted Rice to pass the Arkansas 33 only once, and then only on a fumble recovery to the Razorback 12 early in the second period. On the next play, Arkansas regained the ball at the 11 on a fumble recovery. Burnett netted 116 yards in 28 carries, running his eight game season total to 713 yards for 176 plays.

And when the hole wasn't there, Husker backs Ron Kirkland. Harry Wilson, Pete Tatman.

Ben Gregory and Charlie Winters simply bowled over would be tack lers. If this didn't work you could find Frank Solich popping out like a bump on the head or Fred Duda picking up yardage or the option play. The Huskers didn't need to pass, showing complete command of the contest with 419 yards rushing and Best Jack in Career against them. And I thought they'd played some poorer teams than we are." Mitchell offered this explanation of why Nebraska has been taking people apart. "You can stop their pattern of play," Mitchell explained.

"But their backs are so strong they just keep going. I think we only forced them to punt once (in the first quarter). If we were making five or ten yards a crack I wouldn't punt either." For gaining 144 yards on the ground, Mitchell praised his offensive line and 150 pound quarterback Bill Fenton, who guided the Jayhawks most of the afternoon. "That little Fenton kid did a good job," Mitchell said, "for no bigger than he is." "They're (Nebraska) a tremendous football team," Fenton said. "I can't criticize the way we played, but Nebraska is just a good, sound, strong team.

"I thought we had a chance," he continued. "We were trapping their tackles. But they just held." Dan Miller, the former umana iortn star now in Kansas togs, said it felt good to be back. in Nebraska hut not so good to lose. "That, offense of theirs is great," he allowed.

"They've got a great team." Sandy Buda, a starting offensive end, who had his prep days at Creighton Prep, also heaped praise on the Huskers. "They have that depth and their defense is good," he said. "We were trapping their tackles (on offense) but their linebacker kept picking up for them." Larry Wachholtz puts the brakes on fleeing Jayhawk quarterback Bill Fenton. After KU Stomped On Nebraska Parents Wait made any major adjustments in the defense. "We just tried to get more of a rush on the passer.

And we played a little different on their traps." It was their trap plays and some reverses which went well for the Jayhawks. "I think their drive in the second quarter deserves a lot of credit," Bob said. "They mixed their plays and their passing well." Bob also noted they punted the ball well, KU's Bill Lynch having a big day both into and with the wind. "I thought offensively, Ron Kirkland came back well there and ran well after being away from it for awhile. He just played a little last week.

"And the right side of our line did a good job Jim Osberg, Jim Brown, Dennis Carlson over there. We ran the right side well. Harry Wilson got some good blocks." A few other individuals mentioned were defensive backs Kaye Carstens and Bill Johnson. "If there was any dissatisfaction it was our throwing," Bob said. "Our quarterbacks didn't throw well.

The yardage isn't so bad, but we're just not real sharp." Bob pointed out that in one spot Fred Duda was way off the mark, then did a little better at times. And Bob Churchich was just the opposite, looking terrific at the outset and then having his troubles. Bob said he again told Wayne Weber to stay on the ground and thus limited his ability to show much. The reserves were also deep with Weber.

(3) Nebraska Has Seen By RICK AKIN Kansas football coach Jack Mitchell looked back into a football filled memory, searching for the best football team he'd seen. It came out Nebraska, a 42 6 victor over the Jayhawks in Memorial Stadium Saturday. "I'd have to compare them with the best two or three teams I've ever competed against," Mitchell said. "And I guess I'd have to say today they were the best." His other nominee was Syracuse, which stung KU in 1959, 33 14. "Our scout Tom said Nebraska was the best team he's ever seen in our conference," Mitchell in his eighth coaching year at KU said.

"And he saw Oklahoma in its day. "Of course everything is dif fernt now," Jack said. Noting that all the teams are stronger and the style of play has changed somewhat. Asked to pick out some NU standouts, Mitchell made it easy. "Just start at the top of their roster," he said.

"They have to be the finest team in our conference (history). "I didn't think any team would whip us physically the way Nebraska did," Mitchell offered. "I was surprised to see the way they just completely dominated the Jack said that he felt that his offense performed admirably at times but that ii Huskers' ball hogging offense kept his Jayhawks out of it. "I thought we could play within one or two touchdowns of them," he said. "Nobody has played this poorly iff 3f Fathers of Bill Johnson SMU Gamble Pays Off, 10 0 College Station, Tex.
