I A Munbti' of Tha Star's Sport $taf 1 AWRENCE, KAS.

Like the 33,000 people sitting in on the Kansas-Ne-braska game yesterday, Coach Jack Mitchell of the Jayhawks was at a loss in trying to explain what happened. Its the biggest mystery Ive ever experienced. Jack said of the 40-16 loss slapped on his team. Weve been beat as badly but at least it was in playing against people who had us outmanned. You dont know.

Maybe they had us outmanned. Believed Team Was Ready, If we were ever up for a game, I thought we were up for this one. Maybe were no better than that. Weve got no excuses. I dont have the answers.

As long as they live, our players will never understand that first half. It was the darndest thing Ive ever seen ray life. I just dont understand it. Smoking a cigar as he sat on the bench in the dressing room, Mitchell crumpled a sheet of paper showing the game statistics and kept repeating the phrase Its a mystery. 1 dont understand it.

On the other side of the field, Conch Bob Devanev tried to make himself heard above the happy roar of players in the Nebraska dressing room. To him, there was less of a mystery. N. C. Flayed It Straight.

We werent trying to do anything fancy as in the Missouri game. We just decided to slug it out with K. U. We were springing our runners on the trap plays. With Dennis Claridge hurt in the middle of the week, we didn't want to run him much." Devancy has often said his quarteihack must be a good runner to make his system go.

Yesterday, he left the running duty to the other backs and they went. Warren Towers, the Kansas City Lillis graduate, had one of his better days as a Cornhusker. In fact, it was the first time in six meetings the senior back had been on the winning side against the hometown" clubs, Missouri and Kansas. I've been waiting for three years to heat one of them. Towers said.

I feel real bad we didn't get Missouri. Warren was naturally delighted over the outcome. We haven't had a good game since Michigan (second game of the season). We were overdue. We were more fired up during the week before the Missouri game than we were this week.

I think the coaches were worried we wouldnt he ready. But, of course, the attitude during the eek doesn't mean anything. It's what happens on Saturday that counts. Goes Both Ways. Towers, called by Devancy one of Nebraska's most valuable players, has been used at both halfback and fullback.

Yesterday. he gained 44 yards in 11 carries and made a key stop in blunting a first half K. U. gamble short of a first down at the Kansas 35. The Huskers took over and swept to their 1962 Coupe DcVille.

Towers recalled after his senior year at Lillis he had inquiries from both K. U. and) but nothing definite. Nebraska took an interest. Coach Bill Jennings liked him well enough for a scholarship and he became a Cornhusker.

Only 17 at the time and weighing 160, Towers grew rapidly in Lincoln. He has added two inches to stand 6-1 and now weighs in at 195. He would like a try at pro football next year. Willie Ross, the fleet Husker halfback, must like the feel of Kansas soil. Last year against K-State at Manhattan, he spurted for three touchdowns, a feat he duplicated yesterday.

I Faith in His Team. Maybe Ross felt a particularly strong urge to come through! against the Jayhawks. He was quoted as saying after the Missouri game last week that Nebraska was too good to lose two in a row and Kansas would pay for it. This notice was posted in the Kansas dressing room as a re-minder to make Willie eat his words. However, Ross, a 139-pound junior from Helena.

and his teammates came to plav. its like I said last week. he noted. Were too good to loe two in a row. We don't have; mui depth and we have toi plav our best to make up for it.

We had to win if we are going to get to go to a bowl. With thoughts of the big victory and the chance for a bowl game running through his mind, Ross made this optimistic declaration: We'll win the next two. The Huskers have Olahoma State and Oklahoma remaining. Bill Jennings, the former Husker coach who now serves as an assistant at K. was on the losing side for the sixth straight year in the Kansas-Nebraska game.

Bill Becruited Team. I hate to lose, but you can't deprive Nebraska of this victory. said Jennings, who recruited virtually every player; in action for the Huskers yes-j terday. Jennings recalled the early-collegiate beginnings of some of his former players. Of Dwain Carlson, standout guard, he said: Basically he was a good football player.

Wc backs ran behind the precision of its line, the way in which they kept on their feet while the clutch of tacklers, the way they curleycued one way and then another, the way which they seized their openings. In the first quarter the Jayhawks might as well have remained on the sidelines for all the use they had of the football. It was almost as one-sided in the second quarter and, while less so in the second half, the margin was almost un-comprehensible when one recalls that Kansas had been granted at least an edge by virtually all of the dopesters. Even in the Kansas camp itself there was an unmistakable air of confidence. After all, hadnt the Tigers taken the measure of the Cornhuskers last week, and was there any great reason to believe that some sort of victory could not be achieved.

And, again, one expected both sets of players to be geared high for this one since to the winner it meant remaining in the Big Eight conference race and to the loser a drop into oblivion so far as the title is concerned. Looking back now. one can understand the reason for this electric feeling which seemed to pervade the Huskers. They had. in a senve.

humiliated themselves last week against the Tigers and they had been living for a week with the memories of what happened. Those memories had been building up and yesterday, in a stadium, which was filled to rapacity for the 13th time, they exploded. They exploded with such vehemence that possibly no team could have survived. They resembled the eye of a tornado, just as savage, just as churning and vindictive. We have in years gone by seen players emotionally aroused but nothing like that displayed by these Huskers in this one.

About the only thing the Nebraska Cornhuskers left intact here yesterday afternoon was the stadium and there may be some cracks in it. Een the green dye used on the gridiron grass had been transferred to their uniforms. And understandably enough, the shade of green matched the looks on the faces of the Kansas part of the 33, (XX) crowd when this 40-16 debacle wasoer. One wondered whose home-coming this was and Just what kind of corn had so aroused these Huskers in their amazing rout of the Jayhawhs. Last week, against the Missouri Tigers, the Huskers committed a number of mistakes.

Yesterday, Kansas committed only one and that was in scheduling this game. K. I lias Too Little. Too Late. The two Kansas touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters were faint solace for what happened in the first half, which contained two such incredible periods that when they were over the spectators sat in stunned silence.

Back in 19tr. Nebraska defeated Kansas. 53-2, for a record larruping in this long series, but it couldn't have been more convincing then than it was in this one. Nor could it have been more aroused. If the Jayhawks were dazes! so were their followers and of all the explanations offered during the intermission there was none which seemed to make much sense.

When the Huskers gathered in a huddle in front of their bench seconds before the contest their actions indicated a fever of determination which might not have impressed an observer at the time but was something he couldn't help but remember as the plot and its aura of unreality began to unfold. The Huskers. in this huddle, seemed almost keyed to the burstirg point and, as it developed, their emotions were for real. A lot of reasons can be ascribed. In comparison was the listlessness of the Jayhawks.

but the contrast in the play of the two teams possibly created that feeling. Another Had tart Recalled. This is the way Kansas looked in that first half against Oklahoma State," mentioned one woebegone follower. During the intermission the coach slammed the door after telling the youngsters he had done all there was to do; the rest was up to them. But by the time the first half of this game was over it was too late.

The damage had been done and there was no way to repair it. 1 That's the way those old Nebraska teams used to play." said someone else with undisguised admiration. Thats a team out there of the Sam Francis era." The present day Jayhawks wont remember Sam Francis Dor will they soon forgot what happened here. should have born apparent after the first few minutes but then nobody took the hint. Not the spectators and probably not the Jayhavvkers themselves.

Sid Micck had kicked off and the Huskers had taken the hall on their 33-yard line. In in plays they had gone 67 yards for the first touchdown. And then they had capped that by running for the extra two points. All T. ToUou ed hy 2Rointcrs.

There may never have been a game with as many touchdowns in which all extra points were made on runs or passes. Seven touchdowns and in each instance the place kick was substituted by a play and each play worked. That may mark this contest down in the archives as the most novel of any ever played. After the first Nebraska touchdown the Jav hawks had the ball and. on their fifth play, had to punt.

And once again Nebraska started, this time from their 22, and the fury of their drive was unabated. They clawed, they hurled, they maneuvered there were times when they seemed so bia-ted eager to get back to the line of scrimmage from the huddle they could hardly contain themselves. The shadows soon after the game took over this field and they jthbered about the plays of Willie Boss, Dennis Claridge, Warren Towers and Rudy Johnson. They got in some words for Gale Sayers, who gave all he had in the worst of losing causes. And we don't doubt that when the Hunkers got their paraphernalia off and stepped into the showers, when the wafer hit their bodies it turned into steam.

They weie hotter than any hot water could possibly have been. Now. if this that happened is any true measure it would be well to warn the Oklahoma Sooner. The Huskers. with one los now against seven victoncs, will be meeting' Sooners in two weeks.

quarterback Rodger McFarland tried a pass: linebacker John Kirby tipped the ball. Doug Tucker, the No. Husker quarterback, picked it off on the Kansas 40 and ran it back to the Jaybawk 16. Three dive plays, two at guard and one at tackle, moved the ball to the K. U.

Trap Works Again. In three plays, two of them the old familiar trap, the score mounted to 32-0. I Halfback Kent McCloughan, who runs the 100-yard dash in 9.7 seconds, moved from the 36 to the 22 on the left guard trap. Then he waited for Towers to gain 2 on a straight-ahead dive, and then ran the trap again for the touchdown. Thornton split the tackle and guard apart for the 2 pointer.

The clock showed 11:23 left in the half, but apparently the Huskers were weary. They didn't score again. Mot of the time was consumed in their 53-yard march to the Jayhawks 30. No wonder they didn't score; the pet play wasnt tried. When the gun sounded for the half, a check of the statistics showed this mark of Nebraska dominance: it had nin off 39 plays for 253 yards rushing and completed one pass for II more: Kansas had the ball 10 times, gaining 40 rushing and 2 on a pass.

The half time re-d seemed to revive Nebraska as if it needed it. The Huskers thundered 73 yards in 11 plays for a 40 0 lead. By now the sweeps were working. Ross turned right end for 10. McCloughan went around the other corner for 14.

This, and Thorntons shots over the inside men, moved the ball to the Kansas 26. Then, on second-a d-9, Claridge, the ankle-sore quarterback who let the other fellows carry most of the time, ran a keeper at the K. U. left end, forced the defender to penetrate, and then pitched back to Ross. He steamed around the bend, evaded a man on the 20.
