Relentless Missouri stormed past Oklahoma, 30-0, and into a New Day Sugar Bowl af- 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 Carl McAdams. But even had 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 have to punt until midway in the third quarter.

The Tigers ended 20 years of frustration against 0 1 a- homa on their home field, winning for the first time since a 14-6 triumph 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 bowl trip in eight years under Dan Devine, who has sent a pair of teams to the Orange Bowl and one to the Bluebonnet Bowl.

Missouri, opening with a ish like it did two weeks ago against Nebraska, quickly marched downfield on the 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 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 the Oklahoma 34. it took just six plays for the inspired Tigers to punch it across. Lane went the three yards around left end, with 1:24 left in the opening period. The Tigers roared back with another lightning strike after Ron Shotts fumbled at his own 47.

Lane wasted no time taking advantage of the break, lofting a 38-yard toss to 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 A 29-yard field goal by Bill Bates pushed the Missouri margin to 17-0 at halftime. The onslaught continued in the second half as Brown, who ran for yards in 16 carries, and Lane, who ran for 72 yards and passed for 83, methodically picked apart the Sooner defense. not having McAdams definitely hurt us, but it was no said Jones praising Missouri as a big, strong team which will make an excellent bowl representative. the leader of our defense and when you lose vour leader it has an effect on the rest of the but I will say that our kids give Jones observed.

Not Choice, But Stillwater. Okla. The Orange Bowl 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 Miami, Fla. But while many of the fans were prepared for the announcement. nearly as many were hoping it 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 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 Rob Devaney looks at a bowl trip as a reward for a successful season, a treat for the hoys who have earned some tun by giving up two or three hours daily since the first of September. When speaking ot tun. you can't top with its palm trees, sandy beaches just off the back door of your hotel, horse racing, dog racing, jai alai.

We just moved one halfback and one end over a he said. Cutchin cited a play he figured might have cost Oklahoma State the upset of the year. we threw that interception in the end zone in Crazy Kick Sets Stage for Pokes Continued from Page 1C right guard for the touchdown with 2:03 to play. Charles Durkee, who earlier had missed a field goal attempt from the 33, booted the conversion for a 7-0 lead. Nebraska had the ball on all but 11 plays in the second quarter, but they get even until only 2:53 remained when Kirkland scored his first of two touchdowns for the day from two yards.

That climaxed a 58-yard drive in 10 plays, started when Marv Mueller intercepted his first of two 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. 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 is 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 fourth 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 this year, kicked his sixth from the 45-yard line and put the Pokes within striking distance with 10:56 to play in the final period.

A goofy punt by Kirkland almost proved to be the undoing. It really that bad a kick, but the bound was one to put 0-State coach Phil Cutchin into a jolly orbit. It hit on the Poke 48 but bounced all the way 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 high aerials. And the pass was like a rusty gun, until the critical drive.

If we just had overthrown the ball and then kicked a field goal, 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. you run out of time on the other five-yard line, you can look back and see a jillion little things that would have saved two additional plays. you-all know two straight games ended up on the five-yard line and the clock has run out on us?

Devaney), Nebraska was 0-2 in bowl games. Since his arrival, they are 2-1 with the only loss coming to perhaps the finest football team in the country last year when 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 to Texas Tech would put the Red Raiders in Dallas Jan. 1 and playing Texas Tech certain would not draw rave notices anywhere but in LabDock, and in Lincoln. And even if you do play Arkansas, you going to prove anything except maybe you can slap them back for the back-hand they hit you with last New Day.

One can argue that Nebraska should have waited to see if a battle of unbeaten could be set up between the Huskers and the Hogs. The Huskers certainly were in the 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. Ames, Iowa. (JV- 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 from 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 their conference record to 3-3-1 on the last Big Eight game of the season.

It was the sixth straight conference defeat for the Wildcats and their ninth for the season.

WBA Version of Championship Even if Nebraska and Arkansas had met as unbeaten teams in the Cotton Bowl, it Field Goals Stop Clemson Statistics LMary. Clemson would merely have been like the World Boxing version of the heavyweight boxing picture. Whoever wins, they 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.
