NU KEY NATIONAL CONTEST Huskers Risk No. 3 National Ranking Against OU On TV By The Associated Press There be any turkey served in college football stadiums on Thanksgiving, but the traditional rivals on the fields will be trying to knock the stuffing out of one another. In most of the games there be anything at NU Tops In Two Phases New York great defensive effort against Notre Dame not only solidified the position among the smajor college defense leaders, it shook up the offense standings as well.

State, the leader in rushing defense and second- ranked in total defense, held Notre Dame to minus 12 yards running. This effort removed Notre Dame as a threat to rushing leader Nebraska by dropping the Fighting Irish from second to ninth. Notre failure to score a touchdown against the Spartans dropped it from first to fifth in the 0 i race. Nebraska now is the leader. Statistics released day by the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau showed that the effort against Notre running was finest by one major team4 against another in four years.

rushing allowance of just 45.6 yards a game this season also has been bettered only once in 18 years Syracuse allowed opponents only 19.3 yards a game in 1959. The statistics also revealed Tulsa leading in total offen.se and forward passing, Southern Mississippi first in total de- icnse, Toledo first in pass defense and Texas No. 1 in punting. Mike Garrett of Southern California has clinched the individual rushing crown with 1,328 yards in 243 carries and needs just 58 more yards against Wyoming Saturday to break Ollie career record of 3.166. Charlie Brown is loth in rushing with 937 yards.

Howard Twilley has won the pass-receiving title with 115 catches. He must score four points against Colorado State Thursday to become the first end to win the scoring crown. He has 111 points to 114 for Floyd Little, who is through. Other leaders are Dave Lewis, punting; Larry Wachholtz of Nebraska, punt returns (29 for 442 yards); Eric Crabtree of Pittsburgh, kickoff returns, and Bob Sullivan, interceptions.

The Sooner linebacker was injured in the Iowa State game and has been undergoing treatment for the sore ankle since.

Jones indicated Wednesday afternoon that McAdams likely would not start, but that he would be available for action, aprospect that caused creases in foreheads of Husker coaches. Another Sooner who had been on the doubtful list was tailback Ben Hart. Hart also made the trip and is expected to start. He has been slowed by a bruised instep. Hart has been a versatile performer for the Sooners, seeing action as a runner, passer and pass receiver.

He is the fourth leading rusher with 239 yards, has hit two of eight passes for 25 yards, has caught 12 passes for 115 yards and is also used on punt and kickoff returns. Two other Oklahomans who slowed by injuries are halfbacks Tommy Pannell and Ron Shotts, but both are expected to play. The Sooners chief offensive threat is quarterback Gene Cagle, a sophomore who took over the signal-calling chores after Oklahoma lost its first three games. Since then he has developed as the leading ball carrier with 320 yards on 76 carries and has completed 31 of 73 pass attempts for -355 yards. Cagle also leads in scoring with 24 points.

This Nebraska team will be trying to become the fifth Husker outfit to win three straight conference titles. The Huskers are assured of a tie with Missouri, but they need a win to claim the title all to themselves. Only teams from Nebraska and Oklahoma have ever won gjiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiinnimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiu SPORTS I I MBNU I Thursday FOOTB.ILL—Oklahoma at Nebraska. Memorial Stadium. 12:45 p.m.

Friday Nothing scheduled. Saturday NoUubg more than two Big Eight titles in succession with Nebraska doing it four times and Oklahoma once, but the Oklahoma string was 12 straight. Nebraska won four straight from 1914-17, three straight from 1921-23, three more from 1931-33, and three in a row from 1935-37. The Huskers this year have found as many ways to win as find in all the football books in the library. They have won with spectacular passing, long runs, defense and straight power football.

Coach Bob crew has been able to give opponents fits with quarterba(3ks Fred Duda and Bob Churchich passing to ends Freeman White, Tony Jeter, and Dennis Richnafsky and to halfback Harry Wilson. They have gotten lengthy runs from tiny fullback Frank Solich, who went 80 yards on the first play of the game for a TD against the Air Force. They have gotten out yards from power-running halfbacks Wilson and Ron Kirkland along with halfback- fullback Pete Tatman. And they have gotten stellar defensive play from the Black Shirts led by linebacker Mike Kennedy with All-American candidate Walt Barnes up front. Nebraska has no incentive from a possible bowl bid.

That was wrapped up weeks ago with the Huskers meeting Alabama in Orange Bowl. But they have the incentive of a chance at a third straight outright Big Eight title, an unbeaten season and the chance to show their wares before a national television and in color. Tropical Park Opens Long Racing Season Miami, Fla. Tropical Park, all spmced up with a refurbished grandstand, fresh landscaping and six acres of paved parking space, opens Thursday the longest thorough- ored racing season South Florida ever days. Husker Ron Kirkland Colts Seek 9th Straight; Buffalo Can Clinch Title By Associated Press Streaking Baltimore will try to make it nine in a row in the National Football League and Buffalo will attempt to clinch a division title in the American Football League in two important professional games on Thanksgiving Day.

Baltimore, gunning for a Jan. 2 title rematch with the defending champion Cleveland Browns, will be in Detroit to meet the Lions in their traditional holiday noon game. Green Bay use to draw the Detroit Thanksgiving date for years but the opponents have been rotated in recent years. The Colts, leading Green Bay by one game, with four to play, can help themselves considerably with a second win in five days. The Buffalo Bills, AFL defending champs, can assure themselves of another title game by beating the favored Chargers at San Diego in a contest that could be a view of the league champion-' ship tilt.

All of the other pro action will be Sunday. The NFL program will find Cleveland, with a three-game lead and four to play, at Pittsburgh. Chicago at New York, Green Bay at Los Angeles, Philadelphia at St. Louis, San Francisco at Minnesota and Dallas at Washington. There are only two Sunday games in the AFL, Boston at New York and Houston at Kansas City.

The Colts came out of their Philadelphia game last Sunday with many bruises and Lenny Moore missed practice Tuesday with a 101-degree temperature. Jimmy Orr, who made a dramatic return from the hospital to catch a touchdoi 'n pass against the Eagles, is considered a doubtful starter because of a shoulder injury. A sore leg makes Tony status also doubtful. When the two teams met Oct. 10, the Colts won 31-7 on three touchdown passes by Johnny Unitas, who threw for 319 yards.

The Baltimore-Detroit game will be seen on national television CBS at 11:15 a.m., CST. The Buffalo-San Diego game will be carried on network NBC at 3:30 p.m., CST. Buffalo and San Diego will battle on a muddy field at Baiboa Stadium. The Bills lead New York by games in the Eastern Division and can wrap it up with a victory. The Chargers lead Oakland by one game in the West.

Although the Bills beat the Chargers last year in the title game 20-7, San Diego even by clobbering Buffalo 34-3 Oct. 10 when John Hadl threw three touchdown passes. 14 Husker Seniors In Action When retiring Duke coach Bill stepped down this week it came with considerable emotion. He was giving up what he considered the best part of football coaching, his association with the players. He said so, noting the attachment a coach and player develop during their three years together as part of a unit.

When a coach retiree something like this is emphasized, but it actually happens to a degree to every coach every year. And, while some coaches may use the I and some the and some others something else, they all agree on the importance of this association. still a bowl game to be played for Nebraska, but for the regular season there will be 14 seniors walking the graduation plank.
