And KP duty is never performed with 42,239 looking on in person and with more than half the TV viewing sports fans watching from their living rooms as was the case while Nebraska rolled to an easy and impressive 77-7 victory. But by the time the Huskers reached their 77 and Army got its lone touchdown with 33 seconds remaining, most of the crowd had left and some of the fans, who masochistic enough to stay around much past the early moments of the second half, were probably settling down into a lounge chair in New York City.

The game, which originally had been scheduled only as an Eastern regional contest, wound up being shown to 58.6 per cent of the nation, usurping the Midwest regional game between Bowling Green and Miami, Ohio, in all of the midwest save for (Mtio. What that viewing audience saw if they stayed around until the end was the most points ever scored against an Army team, topping the 51 by Notre Dame in a 51-10 game in 1970 and the most points scored by a Nebraska team since the 1000 win over Wesleyan in 1917 opener. So dominant were Huskers on both offense and defense that punter Rich Sanger never had to use his leg for a punt. And that was just as well since his leg got so tired from kicking extra points and kicking off after imiVlDUAL STATISTICS Hushing No. Westbrook .3 Dixon 13 Hodgers 10 Goeiler 8 Damkroger ........3 Humm 2 Olds 6 Hunty 5 Moran 6 Yds.

(AP) tailbacks Dickey Morton and Jon Richardson sliced around and through the Oklahoma State defense for 185 yards and two touchdowns Saturday night as the Razorbacks slipped past the Cowboys 24-23 in a wild intersectional game. The Cowboys lost a chance to tie the game with slightly more than six minutes left when Eddie extra point attempt struck the right upright and went awry. The Razorbacks won despite the heroics of OSU quarterback Brent Blackman, a nifty wishbone operator whose only two pass completions were for touchdowns. Blackman also added 14 0 rushing yards on his own.

The last threat ended when Mike Davis made a leaping interception of a Blackman pass near midfield in the final minutes. The winning touchdown proved to be a 13-yard scamper by Morton with a minute left in the third period. Less than two minutes earlier Blackman had lobbed a 14- yard pass to Garrett that tied the score 17-17. Morton, a junior, finished the evening with 25 carries for 134 yards. OSU got into position for a tie when Blackman flipped a 36-yard scoring pass to Reuben Gant with 6:23 left in the final period.

The Razorback victory left both teams with 1-1 records.

In contrast to the opener against Washington State, Kansas relied primarily on its ground game Saturday. Fambrough said the differing tactics were dictated by the Wyoming defense. we can make people defense us with the pass, if we can come up with a pretty good running game, said Fambrough, to throw just to be throwing. was very obvious Wyoming was playing our passing game. probably a stronger running team than they thought.

No one could accuse the Huskers of running up the score. Nebraska coach Bob Devaney used everybody on his side of the field who had a number on and had It been a home game, Husker fans surely would have seen some players In action they'd never seen before and probably would never sec again. Eleven different backs carried the ball including four I-backs. Seven Husker.s were on the receiving end of David Humm and Steve Runty passes. Eight different players got their names on the scoring list for the Huskers.

For Humm it was a second straight outstanding pa.ssing game as the sophomore quarterback hit on 14 of 18 for 160 yards, including 13 of 16 in the first half. Senior wingback Johnny Rodgers was the busiest of Huskers on offense, carrying the ball 10 times for 58 yards, catching five passes for another 58 yards and returning two punts for 11 yards, far below his par in the latter department. Overall offensively, Huskers showed the balance Devaney teams always strive for with 292 yards on the ground and 189 through the air. Defensively, the Black Shirts were superb with Army not scoring until the final 33 seconds on a fourth down play from the NU nine against the Huskers alternate defensive unit. The Cadets cross midfield until the first play of the second quarter, a drive that was stopped at the Husker three.

Army move the ball past midfield again until the final scoring drive, a drive that should have made U.S. citizens feel good about the never-say-die attitude of their future military leaders. The Cadets wound up with a minus 12 yards rushing, most of that resulting from the Husker pass rush led by Rich Glover, John Dutton, Monte John.son, Bill Janssen and Willie Harper. Army had 136 yards passing. To run down the scoring summary would crowd everything else out of the newspaper.

But the Huskers did show a few new tricks from their bag. They introduced a pitchout play to Rodgers designed to get the speedster outside in a hurry and it worked. They also lined up often with Rodgers in a running back position, giving the fancy stepper more opportunities to get the ball and go with it behind an offensive line tiiat has shown improvement each of the past two weeks. For Army, there was one consolation. Their next home foe, after a trip to Texas this week, is with Lehigh.
