(APKThe Clemson Tigers lost to Oklahoma, 52 3, Saturday, but; afterward OU Coach Chuck Fairbanks hailed the Tigers as "the toughest team we have played so far." "Clemson did a fine job preparing for us" Fairbanks said in the Sooner dressing room. "The score wasn't really as indicative as it might have been." Fairbanks said. The Oklahoma coach, whose team has averaged more than 54 points in three games and allowed their opponents an average of two points, wasn't excited about the victory, but called it "a big one for us." "We had some real good plays between the offense and defense," Fairbanks said. "We made some mistakes and were a little more ragged than we were a week ago, but Clemson probably had a lot to do with that." Fairbanks noted that Clemson "had success runminu against us in the first half. They had a different blocking scheme wtiich made the middle of our defense a little more soft until we made adjustments and started to react better." Sooner fullback Tim Welch agreed with Ingram.

"Yes, they were stacking up on the outside," he sadd'but that made it that much better for us in the middle."

(AP) Kansas State Coach Vince Gibson said his Wildcats, "started hitting people" Saturday and that was the. difference from poor showings they had made the past two weeks in lopsided losses to Brigham Young and Arizona State. "We did a lot of things poorly," Gibson of State's 31 7 victory over Tampa, "but we got after them and hit them I for the first time in three games. "The main difference was not defense or offense, but getting after people and playing with enthusiasm.

We just simplified everything went back to the defense we've played here for five years." He said the Wildcat offense still was not consistent, "butj we're playing better.

It was only 7 0 at the end of the first quarter, but it was never that close. The 28 0 halftime count better tells the story. Daveney stayed perfect against Minnesota and the Big Ten Conference. It was his eighth straight over the Gophers and 11th in a row against all Big Ten competition. STATISTICS Minnesota Offense Rushing No.

(AP) Jay Cruze passed for four touchdowns and 354 yards in a 34 27 football loss to Missouri Saturday, but he's still not sure whether he'll become California's No. 1 quarterback. Further more, he doesn't care.

"I like a little extra pressure on me when I go in," he said. 'I like to go in and make things happen." Cruze's performance set a school record, although he played little more than two quarters. can't be particularly happy about my performance, considering we didn't win," he said. Cruze, who started nine games for California last year, took over for sophomore Steve Bartkowski late in the second quarter. "California Coach Mike White said, "I'm still in the process of a 1 a i our quarterbacks." White said he still has confidence in Bartkowski, who has been bothered by an elbow injury.

Missouri won because the Tigers held the ball three minutes after Cal's last touchdown. Cruze said. "We Big the a spectacular 64 yard punt return, it was his seventh such TD jaunt. That would equal the Big Eight and NCAA record of Oklahoma's Jack Mitchell (1946 43). But one of Johnny's doesn't count, having come in a bowl game against Alabama last New Year's Day in Miami.

He's also had one kickoff touchdown return. His combined counting total of seven Is also just one shy of the Big Eight and national record held by Colorado's Cliff Branch. The 49 0 whitewashing equalled the worst defeat in Minnesota's long and proud history. Two other times, against Indiana in 1945 and Michigan in '66, the final count was the same. Only twice have more points and two excellent cor nerbacks," Feldman said, referring to seniors John Schweizer and George Campbell.

Gary Dixon opened at the spot, scoring the Huskers' first two TD's. Replacement Dave Goeller got the next touchdown, on a pass from David Humm, then Dixon came back to tally a third, equalling his best day ever, He had a trio of TDs against Oregon last fall.

(AP) Kansas football Coach Don Fambrough said Florida State quarterback Gary Huff is one of the finest college passers he has ever seen after Huff led the Seminoles to a 44 22 victory over the Jayhawks Saturday. "But he has a lot to go with him," the Kansas coach added quickly.

"We played a tremendous football team. They have such fine athletes in key positions quarterback, receivers, runners, defensive secondary." Fambrough said the 6 1, 190 pound Huff, who completed 26 passes for 295 yards and four touchdowns, is a fine athlete. "He reacts so quick," Fambrough said. "We tried everything against him. We rushed at times, we dropped off at times.

Sometimes we would almost have him but he'd still get the ball off. "This is the second year we've played against him and I would have to say he is one of the finest college quarterbacks I've seen at least as far as the passing game is concerned." Fambrough said he did not ft el nearly as bad about the Kansas loss to Florida State as he did about the opening game defeat at the hands of Washington State, 18 17. "When we lost to Washington State we lost to a team I thought we should have beaten," Fambrough said. "I was happy with the way our team came back in the second half. At times in the sernnd half, we played as well as we could play." Kansas trailed the Seminoles 28 7 at halftime.

"We gave them so much," Fambrough said.
