The Con boy defenders are Ron Alexander and Leon Ward (56) (Wirepboto). LOOK OUT BELOW! Bill Walters does a masterful job of knocking the pins from under quarterback Bernie McCall of Colorado. McCall, on the first play from scrimmage following K. U.s field goal, went back to pass, saw Walters charging in and attempted to leap over the Jayhawk. It all wound up in a 5-vard loss for the Buffs.

iui Ini Lincoln, Neb. (AP) Nebraskas pint-sized fullback, Frank Solich, scored a go-ahead touchdown on an 89-yard second-quarter kick-off return yesterday and the fourth-ranked Cornhuskers protected the margin for a 27-14 Big Eight conference football victory over Oklahoma State. The tally, coupled with a 34-yard touchdown later in the same period on a Bob Churchich pass to Harry Wilson, gave Nebraska a 21-7 half-time lead that O. S. U.

reduced by a touchdown in the third period before yielding. The victory clinched at least a share of the loop crown for unbeaten Nebraska and ran the nations longest major college victory string to 16 games. Currently 9-0 for the year and 6-0 in the conference, the Husk-ers need only to conquer Oklahoma next week to round out their first all victorious season since 1915. Scouts from Orange, Sugar and Cotton bowls were in the record crowd of 49,500. A 92-yard, 19-play touchdown drive, made good on a one-yard run by Kent McClougham, got Nebraska off to a 7-6 first-quarter lead.

Oklahoma State countered with a 12-plav, 67-vard drive cashed in by quarterback Glenn Baxter on a one-yard plunge early in the second quarter. The tie lasted only 11 seconds as Solich. 162-pound junior, took the ensuing kickoff for his brilliant T. D. scamper.

Later inn the same second quarter, Nebraska took over on downs on its 27 and, with the help of deadly passes by Churchich, including the 34-yard counter to Wilson and a 2-point conversion pass to Tony Jeter, ran the advantage to 14 points. The courageous Cowboys, who went into the game with an outside chance at the title on a 4-3 season mark. 4-1 in the loop, got a second-half rally rolling when center Leon Ward intercepted one of Churchichs passes on O. S. U.s 44.

Baxter and fullback Walter Garrison alternated at rushes to put Garrison in position for the one-yard touchdown plunge with 41 seconds remaining in the third quarter. It was the last serious O. S. U. threat.

Late in the game, Nebraskas Mike Kennedy intercepted a Cowboy pass on the O. S. U. 24 and returned it to the 18. Carefully running out the clock, Nebraska scored with five seconds remaining on McGoughans 4-yard touchdown run.

The nations fourth leading scorer with 62 points going into the game, McCloughan thus ran his total to 74. Largely because of the bulling rushes of Garrison, Nebraska yielded 87 yards on the ground in the first half alone. Third ranked nationally in rushing offense, the Cornhuskers had given up an average of 72.9 yards in eight previous games. io8 Nourse 14 run (Slmoson k'ckl Mich Henderson 4 pass from Timber-lake (TtmbeHeke kick) Mich A moony ig run (oess fa'led) Iowa O'Hara 5oass from Snook (kick feiied) Mch Timberlake 1 run (Timberlake kick) Mich Anthony 1 run (Timberlake kick) Mich Anthony 1 run (Timberlake kick) Iowa Snook 20 run Simpson kick) Gophers Dash Purdue's Hope For Boivl Berth Minneapolis (AP) Hankinson, passing with precision, fired Minnesota to a 14-7 victory over Purdue yesterday Sophomore Nick Eddy Scores Two Touchdowns as Notre Dame Boosts String to Eight Straight With 34-7 Romp Over Michigan State FIRSTOVER FOE IN 10 SEASONS State ND 13 17 124 2'4 178 21 27-12 19-1 First tjow-s Rvh-g va-rJ-ge Rassing yardaga Passas Pasas Interceded by BILLY G.

In the fourth period, the Spartans smashed 57 yards to the Notre Dame 6 but could go no farther. M.

U. Gets Late 14 SMELL OF ROSES STROHG Victory Over Northwestern Pulls Ohioans Near Bowl Bid Columbus, O. (AP) Ohio State took a giant stride toward the Western conference championship and a Rose bowl bid yesterday as it won its fifth straight in the conference, 10-0, over Northwestern. The game was a dice-players dream. The seventh-ranked Ohioans parlayed Willard Sanders seventh touchdown and Bob Funks seventh field goal into their seventh victory of the season.

Sanders score came in the first period on a 5-yard plunge, ending a 38-yard, 11-play drive. Funks 3-pointer came In the second session. The final half, most sensational of the game, produced no scoring. Mike Buckner, defensive halfback from Akron, came up with Northwesterns big play as he intercepted a Don Unver-ferth pass on his own 6 and raced 71 yards to Ohios 23, where Unvcrferth caught him. The long run came to naught, however, as Ohio took the ball on downs on the 6.

In the final minute Northwesterns defense returned the compliment and stopped Ohio on the 6-inch line after Tom Bugel had intercepted a Dave Milam pass and chased it 18 vards back to the 10. Ohio State, deflated, 27-0, by Penn State last week after six straight victories, was a different team. The Bucks broke out a new I formation and did a lot of gambling.

who caught the ball on the Oklahoma 49. The next big play was a 23-yard pass from Lane to Brown, who made a diving catch on the 25. Reese picked up five yards and Brown 7, moving the ball to the 13. Reese and Brown each picked up 4 yards and then Otto gained one and a half. Thus the Tigers found themselves inches short of a first down on the 3 with fourth down coming up.

Automatically they gave the ball to Otto, who picked up a yard at left tackle. Otto carried two more times and went over. Bates kicked the game-tying extra point. The Sooners couldn't get past their own 36 following the kickoff and punted. Missouri put the ball in play on its 38.

On the first play, Lane fumbled and McCurdy recovered on the 39. A pass from Page to Lance Rentzel moved the ball to the 33 and then Page threw out of bounds to stop the clock with 33 seconds left. Grisham carried to the 22. Page then passed incomplete, with Otto nearly intercepting. There was a clear field ahead had he held the ball.

With 13 seconds left, Metcalf tried a field goal into the wind from the 29. It was wide. Larry Shields intercepted a Lane pass on the last play of the game and was stopped on the M. U. 40.

RICE HAS NO TROUBLE McReynolds Stars in 19-8 Victory Over Texas Aggies Houston (AP) Walter McReynolds threw two touchdown passes and helped set up a third score with a 21-yard run yesterday as his Rice university Owls defeated Texas A 19-8.

down coming up and four yards to go, Bobby Page passed to Gordon Brown who slipped behind Ken Boston and took the ball on the 15. There wasnt even a Missouri player within shouting distance of Brown, who went over in smooth, unhurried strides. Butch Metcalf kicked the extra point and the score was tied at 7-7. Oklahoma was on its way to touchdown midway in the second period when Grisham stopped the drive by fumbling. An interception by Rick McCurdy gave Oklahoma the ball on the Missouri 45.

The Sooners drove to the Missouri 7. Grisham smashed over his left tackle to the 3, but fumbled and Bob Ritter recovered for the Tigers. Fumble Aids O. U. Oklahoma moved into the lead with 0:34 left in the third quarter.

A fumble by Carl Reese gave Oklahoma the ball on the Missouri 48. The Sooners picked up a first down on the 35 in three plays and then Pannell passed to Hart, who was wide open on the 5. Hart went over and Metcalf kicked the extra point to make the score 14-7. Oklahoma reached the Missouri 14 early in the fourth period after McAdams intercepted a pass on the M. U.

45 and ran it back to the 31. The Sooners finally lost the ball on downs and then Missouri took over to start its long touchdown drive. The Tigers faced their first crisis when they arrived at fourth-and-1 on the 38. Otto apparently anxious to avoid any disputes on measurements, made two yards around right end. At the 48, the Tigers had a fourth down and inches to go.

This time it was a break that kept their drive going. Lane passed and McCurdy deflected the ball into the hands of Ted to virtually wipe out all hope the Boilermakers harbored for making their first Rose bowl trip. Hankinson set two Gopher season passing records, notching eight completions in 15 attempts for 159 yards and two touchdowns. The Minnesota quarterback bagged the Gophers winning touchdown early in the fourth quarter. Purdue Mn.

(AP) Sophomore Nick Eddy bolted 61 yards for a score in the first 34 minutes and unloosed a cascade of touchdowns for top-ranked Notre Dame yesterday that ended 10 losing years against Michigan State, 34-7. It was the eighth straight victory for the Fighing Irish, headed possibly for their first perfect season and National championship since 1949. Eddy smashed five yards for a second touchdown and ace quarterback John Huarte figured in the other two, a 13-yard pass to Joe Farrell and a 21-yard dash into the end zone after a fake handoff.

He completed 11 -of -22 passes for 102 yards and rushed for 44 yards. Perhaps the most heroic performance was turned in by Otto, who played both ways.

He carried the ball nine times and made five unassisted tackles. He provided the climax to the fourth-quarter touchdown drive by carrying four straight times. Jim Grisham was the Sooners offensive standout, gaining 96 yards on 17 carries. Linebacker Carl McAdams made 13 unassisted tackles and helped out on four others. Grisham Plays Unusual Role Grisham played a rather strange role in the days proceedings, since he was both the Sooners pride and their despair.

The hard-driving fullback was to a certain extent responsible for keeping the Tigers in the ball game in the first half. The first big break of the game came late in the first period after Lane had punted the ball dead on the Oklahoma 10. Quarterback John Hammond attempted to hand off to Grisham, but it was not a good handoff and Grisham did not get full control of the ball. He was hit by Butch Allison. The ball flew out of his hands and Bill Powell recovered on the 9.

On first down, Charlie Brown burst over his right tackle, bounced off two Sooners and dived into the end zone. Bates kicked the extra point. There were five minutes and 43 seconds remaining in the first period. The Sooners, who on fleeting occasions still look like the great Oklahoma teams of years gone by, took the kickoff and drove 75 yards to a touchdown. It was an awesome demonstration of power and precision.
