Glory Road Can Render Juicy Reward 0-State Is 8th Victim, 14-0; Sooners Next Orange Hurdle By DICK BECKER Bob Devaney, called to revive slumbering football giants, leads liis Cornhuskers into the promised land Saturday in quest of a triumph, a title and a trip. The culmination of almost unbelievable first year as NU football coach comes at Norman, where the Scarlet and Cream warriors will play Oklahoma for a share of the Big 8 footbail championship and a trip to a bowl hopefully Orange Bowl. It all came to pass when the Huskers enveloped Oklahoma State 14-0 Saturday before 33,500 frigid fans at Memorial Stadium while Oklahoma was beating Missouri, 13-0. $iinbaD JiDurnal Slar Not spectacular, this Husker win was perhaps the most thorough beating the Huskers have handed out as they rolled to 8 wins against a single loss (to Mis- The score is the least indicative of the difference between the two clubs as the Cowboys never even threatened to score in losing for the first time in 3 meetings with Nebraska. In Complete Control Nebraska got two quick first quarter touchdowns and then was content to completely control the important game.

Nebraska and Missouri are now 5-1 in the conference while Oklahoma is 5-0. Nebraska winds up against the ers and a win would assure a piece of the championship.

Nebraska set another school record with 22 first downs for a total already of 176. The old mark was 169 by the 1950 Cornhuskers. Claridge engineered the Cornhuskers 76 yards the first time they got the ball with Bill (Thunder) Thornton scoring from 8 yards out. Claridge ran the keep for two conversion points.

The next time the Huskers got the ball they went 62 yards, helped along by a roughing the kicker penalty. Claridge kept over the weak side for 6 yards and that score.
