Eddie 93-yard punt return and Jim 90- yard dash through left tackle for Oklahoma tonchdowns sent Colorado reeling, but each time the Buffaloes regrouped under the generalship of quarterback Dan Kelly of equalizing scores. The big break for Colorado came early in the fourth quarter when Oklahoma center Chuck.

Williamson passed over the head of punter Tom Stidham on fourth down and Dick Anderson recovered on the 18. Three plays later Wilmer Cooks, 215-pound battering ram, charged nine yards into the.end zone and John Far; placekick put the Buffs ahead 24-21 with 13 minutes left.

They range in size up to 6-7, but he notes they jump well Never Any Doubt Partially because of the reluctance of Missouri coach Dan Devine to go for two points on occasion, a big thing was made of the Nebraska frosh coach John decision to go for two Friday in the game with Missouri. The truth Is there was never any doubt. Varsity coach Carl Selmer was in the phone booth helping John and they started planning their two points play when the young Iluskers still had yards to go for the touchdown which made the score 13-12 During the frosh game the public address system in the stadium asked that Bud Wilkinson report to the ABC television control truck.

Even the holes there, which often, the tough-running NU backs still managed to pick up yardage. The Huskers showed as earlv as the first couple of minutes that they were going to be able to move against the Missouri defense, driving with the opening kickoff 69 yards in 18 plays before being stopped at the Missouri 13, a march that consumed eight minutes and 24 ssconds. The second time NU got its hands on the ball, they stopped, going 68 yards in 12 plays for the 7-0 lead, using only one pass. But that pass was a big one. The Huskers were faced with a third and 12 situation at their own 30 after a backs in motion penalty had nullified a 19-yard scamper by Gregory.

And Churchich was being chased by Missourians when he spotted Wilson far down- 1 field. i Wilson had to wait for the bail, then had to take it away from Tiger defender John Douglas at the Missouri 26. a 44-yard play. Churchich then began charging Gregory, Tatman and Wilson behind the blocking of Pickens, Osberg and Brichacek until he finally sent Tatman for the final yard over Pickens and NU was on the scoreboard with 14:30 left In the first half. Wachholtz, a strong M- American candidate then intercepted a Gary Kombrink pass at the NU 36 and with Look Iggie McVay locking for AU-Americans, returned it to the Husker 45.

The interception was sixth of the season and 12th of his career, both NU records. It also signaled the start of the second NU touchdown drive. But it took a Missouri fumble of a fair catch on Joe punt to keep the drive going. Gregory recovered the fumble at the Missouri 16. On the next play Gregory took the handoff from Churchich, but ran into Tigers Gary Grossnickle, Douglas and Jim Whitaker at the 10.

This merely slowed the powerful Husker back down as he broke loose from the trio and went in for the score with 9:47 left in the half. A combination of the Huskers refusing to let Missouri have the football and the tough NU defense In first half permitted the Tigers to get no closer than the NU 39. And things get worse before they got better for the Tigers in the second half. Missouri, which moved into Husker territory only twice in the first half, get on the Nebraska side of the field in the second half but once, that coming in the final two minutes before the Huskers stopped them at the NU 44, Nebraska, which at times this season has played less than perfect football, picked a most opportune time for their best game of the year. Not only was the game i by representatives of the Orange and Sugar Bowls, and All-American observers, but it was also seen by football fans from coast to coast via television.

Nebraska moved for third touchdown the first time it got the ball in the third quarter, going 73 yards in 13 plays, all of them on the ground. And most of the ground was covered in short chunks with only a 13-yard and a 21-yard run by Wilson gaining more than 10 yards. Churchich got the final yard on a quarterback keeper with 5:08 left in the third quarter. The Black Shirts set up the fourth tally with Kaye Carstens returning an intercepted pass 40 yards to the Tiger 7. On the second play, Gregory rammed the seven yards into the end zone carrying Grossnickle with him the final three yards and 2:37 still remained in third stanza.

The final score came moments later with No. 2 quarterback Wayne Weber directing the drive from the Husker 48. Sticking to the ground just as Churchich had done, Weber used Charlie Winters, Davis and Mick Ziegler to move to a fourth and five at the Missouri 5. fans in the record crowd of recalled their high school- viewing days with Weber tossing the ball to former Hastings High teammate Tom Smith in the end zone for the score. The win kept the Huskers unbeaten with a 7-0 record and a date with Kansas coming up next week at Lawrence.

It also kept the Huskers in the seat of the Big Eight race with a 4-0 mark. Mdnhattan, Kan. Ther- mus Butler kicked a field goal in two years. He even practiced. But Kansas needed one Saturday and Butler was the man.

had to have that field goal to save our said Butler in the Jayhawk locker room minutes after hooting the 38-yarder that salvaged a 3-3 tie with Kansas was just gonna have to do it. No, I never doubted that I The ball rested on the 21- yard line and the clock read 0:08 when KU stopped the clock on an incomplete pass. Coach Jack Mitchell had only one for the tie. The question was who could do it? Dave Bouda had been the Jayhawk placement man all year, but he had missed an earlier 39-yard attempt. So Mitchell decided to go with Butler, hoping he sacrifice accuracy for power.

But worked hard and now one of the better kickoff men Does this mean Butler will be the KU field goal hooter from now on? inside the 15, use said Mitchell. It first attempt ever. Two years ago, as a senior at Carver High in Columbus, he hit five of seven. Bill Lynch and Bill Hunt teamed to give KU one final chance with 50 seconds left. Lynch, blitzed in, caused K-State quarterback BiU Nossek to fumble, and Hunt pounced on it at the 30.

Then quarterback Bob Douglass hit Sandy Buda, setting up the tying fielder. I should have pitched the said Buda, Shanklin (Don) was too far behind me. a hook and lateral play. So I figured get what I could and stay in midfield for the field Mitchell admitted the sit- nation looked bleak indeed when Kansas State held possession into the final minute. were no i outs left.

It looked black, but we had to get one break during the game. It look like it would ever come, but it Mitchell felt he was wrong In not going for the field goal with four minutes left. Shanklin, going wide from the eight, was halted on fourth down. you need more than two yards, yon make it too Jack admitted. made the mistake, just let my emotions get Mitchell felt the main problem was inability to click through the air.
