HUSKER FROSH FALL Rockets Smash Links By John Hines Star Sports Writer Lincoln Northeast won the Trans-Nebraska championship and its sixth victory in a row over Lincoln High in the 26-year-old series, 40-19. in a wild-and-wooly offensive show at Seacrest Field Friday night. Northeast quarterback Jerry Colvert bootlegged the option play to the left side for 18 yards on the opening play of the game and the pattern was set for the whole night in what faintly resembled a National Basketball Association encounter.

The last touchdown of the game was off by Rocket tackle Bill Faglcr, a strap- i 195-pounder. Lincoln High had om up to 34-19 with 32 seconds left and tried an onside kick. But Fagler got it on his own 48 and had daylight in front of him to go on a 52-yard runback and conclude seventh Victory in eight starts. The most unusual aspect of the game, however, was that neither team punted, mostly because it was better to go for it. Northeast had the ball for six series and scored five times, not counting Fagler's runbaek.

A pass interception by the Bill Strain the other drive. Lincoln High had the ball eight times, scoring on three occasions. Interceptions by Wally Winter and Rich Olson halted two Link efforts, a fumble recovery by Roger Griffin blunted another. North- east made the only success-1 fui crack at holding for downs on the seventh drive by LHS and the final gun stopped the other possession. Northeast ground out 283 yards with fullback Tom Purbaugh gaining 119 in 19 attempts and Colvert 83 on I 13 keepers.

Lincoln 222 yards rushing included 88 by! Melvin Tarpley and 75 by Charles Moore. Both teams had minimal passing yardage. Northeast led all the way, although Lincoln High trailed on two occasions by 7-6 and 14-12, the difference being blocked conversion kicks of Link by Rocket defenders Mike Henninger and Steve Kyles. The Rockets drove 75 yards with the opening kickoff, Colvert running a kepp option play for 23 to the Link six for the big play. Dennis Berartek went over from the two.

But then the Links took care of the rest of the first period with a 50 yard scoring march capped by Gary seven-yard burst. In the second quarter North, east went 65 yards, Colvert scoring from the one, and Lincoln High 74 lengths, Tarpley turning the left corner for the final nine to make it 14-12 with 2:18 left in the half. Then one of the most crucial parts of the game enabled the Rockets to pull away. The teams exchanged pass interceptions, grab putting Northeast only 35 yards away.

PAT Winter 44), First Rushing yardage parsing piafeSfS intercepted lost penalized Two NU Point Conversion Fails By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Nebraska gambled and lost Friday, but the gamble was backed by loud applause from the loudest crowd ever to see a freshman game at Nebraska as Missouri edged the NU yearlings by the margin of a missed two-point conversion attempt. The crowd of 11,500 voiced their approval of Husker frosh coach John decision to go for the two-point conversion after a fourth quarter touchdown had pulled Nebraska to a one-point deficit at 13-12. The attempt, a run by quarterback Anthony Dvorsak, was stopped short, leaving the Huskers trailing 13-12, the way the game ended eight minutes and seven seconds later.

frosh had stormed downfield 74 yards in 13 plays for the second touchdown after taking the kickoff following go-ahead touchdown that gave the Tigers a 1.3-6 edge with 13:11 left in the game. With reserve quarterback Dvorsak at the controls and handing off to No. 1 left halfback Jor Orduna and reserve fullback Kim Wheeler, the Huskers moved speedily downfield, all the way on the ground. Orduna, who led NU rushers with 94 yards in 15 carries, moved the kers from the Missouri 49 to the Tiger .39 and Wheeler followed with a nine-yard scamper. After a Dvorsak pass fell incomplete.

Orduna broke loose for an 18-yard jaunt and then gained six more for a second and four at the six. Wheeler barged lor two and when Missouri tackle Bob Forbes jumped offsides, it was a first down at the Tiger 2. Dvorsak gained one, then gave the ball to Orduna for the TI) and fans began pondering whether Melton would go for the tie or the win. When the Huskers lined LHS LNF 17 21 222 3-8 MJ 2-4 by 2 0 0 1 0 45 iS up in the T-formation, the crowd roared its approval, but the attempt failed. The Huskers had one more chance to win when Missouri quick kicked from its 24 to the Nebraska 22 with 6:21 remaining.

The NU frosh pushed the ball up to midfield, but the attack was halted and a Dvorsak pass attempt on a fourth and 12 situation from the 50 failed, turning the ball back to Missouri. Missouri scored the winning touchdown from its 43 with 13:11 remaining in the game as Chuck Colclasure got behind Husker defender Bob Carter and quarterback Craig Weaver tossed the bail into his waiting arms. Jay Wallace kicked the conversion that proved to be the deciding point. The touchdown pass was the first time Missouri had been in Nebraska territory since early in the second quarter when the Tigers scored the TD that made it fi-6. The Husker defense, led by Frank Avoiio, Dana Stephenson, Mike Bohaty and Pat Lahey, had kept the high-scoring Missouri offense stymied.

The Tigers had averaged 51 points in winning their first two games. The Huskers scored first when Wilfred Minor caught Tiger defender John Davis napping and Rex Lowe slipped in behind him. Minor's pass to Lowe in the end zone covered 31 yards with 54 seconds left in the first quarter. kick attempt failed. Missouri came back to tie moments later, going 69 yards in 13 plays with Jon Staggers, who gained 40 yards in seven attempts for the Tigers, going the final five yards with 10:15 left in the first half.

Chris extra point kick was good, but officials detected a Missourian sides and Bohaty blocked second effort, leaving the game tied at 6-6 at halftime.
