"We couldn't get our feet on the Van Galder said. He might have added he get his passes off the ground, either. Two of his first three tosses were intercepted. But Tim recovered quickly to finish with 12 completions in 25 attempts for 143 yards and one touchdown.

The record would have been better, but Eppie Barn normally a handed end, dropped four bullseye tos.ses, including one in the end zone. As it was. Van pa.ssing was enough to punctuate a running game which accounted for 259 yards against the big but overmatched Bengals. Still, Iowa State coach Clay Stapleton was not overjoyed with his offensive line play, particularly view of the battle with coming up Saturday in Lincoln our big problem again is that we don't push people he said afterward. sure this will be the case at half the Cyclone yardage came from sophomore tailback Webster, the Omaha product who ripped off 119 yards, including one 47-yard scamper for a touchdown.

This and Steve ensuing kick overcame a 6-0 Pacific lead, the result of a fumbled punt which Bengal Bruce Coslet recovered in the end zone. Pacific came right liack, however. Rather, Iowa State yielded another gift, this time a 10-yard touchdown pass from Tom Strain to Gary Woznick after an interference call had given pacific the ball on the nine- yard line.

That was it for the visitors, though. Iowa State immediately ground 76 yards in 11 plays, fullback Willie Robinson plunging over from the one. The floodgates opened In the second l)alf. Ralkovec began the scoring parade with a field goal. Robinson scored again on a two-yard dive, Webster cracked over from the four and Van Galder sailed a pass to Tom Busch In the end zone early in the fourth period.

43-yard scamper with a pitch-out took up half of an 87-yard Colorado drive the first time the Buffs had the ball. Fresno large defensive line which averaged 235 pounds halted the drive at the 13, and Colorado settled for a 21-yard field goal by Frank Rogers.

The touchdown came after a 47-yard drive which took just three plays, including an 18-yard pass from quarterback Bemie McCall, to slotback George Lewark.

Fresno State, whose 47 players include 30 junior college transfers, moved freely throughout the intersectional battle with the running and passing of sophomore quarterback Dan Robinson. But the California team was stopped when it countered by a stubby Colorado defense led by tackle Frank Bosch, defensive end Sam Harris and linebacker Steve Sidwell. A fumble recovery by defensive halfback Bob Tate at the Colorado 15 set up Fresno only touchdown. Six plays later quarterback Bob Johnson sneaked over from the one-foot line. The main target for Robinson and Johnson passes was 6-4, 220-pound end Jim Stewart.

The win was first of the season, after a scoreless tie with Wisconsin last week. The game was Fresno season opener and the first meeting between Colorado of the Big Eight Conference and the Bulldogs, of the California Collegiate Association. Harris carried ten times for 113 yards to lead rashers. Speedy halfback Curtis Frazier led Fresno State with 71 yards on eight carries. Robinson, a 178-pound quarterback, completed 14 of 23 passes for 143 yards.

McCall hit only five of 13, but they were good for 103 yards. Fresno State edged Colorado in total offense, 313 to 290 yards. Clemson Overhauls Virgima Charlottesville, Va.

Then Lucas arched a throw to end Mitch Zalnas- ky, who made the catch in the end zone as he fell for a touchdown with 52 seconds remaining in the half.

Jim Jones, who made good on his first conversion attempt, failed on this try. Oklahoma scored the first three minutes of the second period on a 24-yard field goal by sohomore halfback Ron Shotts. Most of the afternoon the Sooners used a straight running attack, but they changed the pattern in the final period when they drove for their sole touchdown on passing power The Sooners rolled 91 yards in a push climaxed by eight-yard pass to Gordon Brown. The key pass in that drive was 45-yarder to Shotts. With Hammond holding the ball, Shotts went into position for a conversion try but Hammond took the ball instead and intended to pass.
