Two Fourth Period Scores Put Game Way Out of Reach. M. U. Reserve Wasn't Nervous He Practices Kicking Long Hours. By Joe McGuff.

(Associat Sports Editor ot Tha Star Kas. The Manhattan, Dennis Stuewe Makes a Dive, but Misses Target. sm Only once did the eager Husker fans in the crowd of 33,000 have a chance to cheer as they expected when they entered the stadium. By the time was over, most were as gloomy as the skies under which the game was played. Now Iluskers Turn.

That golden moment came with five minutes left in the first half and lasted until 6:43 was gone in the third period. It came with stunning quickness, and at a time when it looked as if M. U. was about to put more points on the board. With Mizzou in possession on the Nebraska 17, second-and-4, John Roland started the halfback sweep right.

lie stopped, and under a hard rush lofted a pass toward Ken Ilinkley. the right half who had run a down-and-out pattern to the 10. But just as the ball was released Ilinkley fell. Nebraskas John Kirby tapped the ball into the hands of teammate Noel Martin on the Husker 12, and the Clay Center, lad rumbled 83 yards behind five blockers for the T. D.

When John Faiman converted, it was a 7-7 tie. Before and after, it was all Missouri; the Tiger line harassed Nebraskas backs from start to finish, split the Huskers open from tackle to tackle and in general, forced them into a state of confusion. Huskers in Trade. The first sign of Nebraska cracking came with two minutes left in the first quarter. On second-and-8 on their 37, Dennis Claridgc, the heralded Husker quarterback who spent most of the day on his back, turned the corner on a keeper, was racked up on the 40, fumbled and Daryl Krugman, the M.

U. safety, covered the ball on the Husker 46. After a pass fell incomplete, M. U. started an action left, then sent Roland back over the trapped right tackle on an inside reverse.

He cleared the hole, broke the linebackers tackle, swung to the outside and went in for the touchdown. Roland fumbled when hit near the goal line with the ball squirting through the end zone, but officials ruled he was in possession when he went in. Bill Leistritz booted the ball through the posts and over the tf -VL't i w.f, l-i 5 -i By William E. Richardson. (A verrber of The Star's Sports Staff Lincoln, Neb.

Clutch plays can win football games and Missouri received a big one yesterday from a 19-year-old sophomore. Bill Leistritz, who has kicked his way out of John Rolands shadow, gave the Tigers the lead points with a 45-yard field goal in the 16-7 triumph over Nebraska. That was a real clutch performance, Coach Dan Deune said of the booming placement It was fine that he couki come through after dubbing his first one. Often, in such a situation, a boy will also dub the second one. Cool for Kick.

Leistritz said he was not nervous when he went in to make the big try in the third quarter. After I missed the first one, I got a little mad at myself. But by the time I went back in I was relaxed. I base to make the most of my kicking if I want to get in the game.

but the Jajhawk tailback went on to the 5 where he pitched to Rodger McFarland (not shown) who went over for touchdown. This was Kansass second T. D. of the game. annual football civil war of Kansas took place yestcr- day at Memorial stadium here.

It more or less turned out to be another Gettysburg for Kansas State but the Wildcats resisted fiercely and had the satisfaction of making Kansas earn its 38-0 victory. Gale Sayers, the K. U. sopho- i more sensation, eluded the I clawing K-State defenders to i score three touchdowns and gain 156 yards in 17 carries. He thus accounted for almost half of the 339 yards the Jayhawks gained on the ground even though he sat out the last lUz minutes.

K. U. Takes Quick Lead. A crowd of 16,000 viewed the 60th renewal of this rivalry in gray, chUling weather and saw the Jayhawks establish control of the game by taking the opening kick-off and driving 75 yards to a touchdown in 11 plays. The Jayhawks registered a safety a few minutes later when 3oug Dusenberry of Kansas State was hit in his end zone.

Thereafter the Wildcats stiffened their opposition and K. U. battled to leave the field with a 15-0 halftime advantage. The Jayhawks took a commanding lead when they received the second half kickoff I 2 3 ROLAND M. U.

Doug Weaver obviously is dejected after seven straight setbacks this season and 15 in a row overall, but hes still convinced Kansas States football team is better than it was last year. You guys probably wont believe it, he said in the Wildcat dressing room, but I still think were better than we were last season. Sure of Conviction. I dont have any facts to back me up and thats what the people go by, but Im convinced if this years team played the one we had last year, this years team would win. Jack Mitchell, the K.

U. coach, refused to be drawn into a comparison of the merits of the K-State teams of the last two seasons but commented, They dont give jou anv thing easy. We had to work for even thing we got. was happy all three of the units on the Jav hawker travelling squad got to play about one-third of the game and praised the passing of Brian Palmer, who completed six of eight for 86 yards. He also had a word of praise for Larry Corrigan, K-State quarterback.

Ran His Plays Well. I thought Corrigan played a fine game." Mitchell said. He evaded us well on the pass plays and ran well when he had to keep the ball. We had a tough time getting him down. Weaver also lauded Corrigan, who was harassed all afternoon by the hard-charging Jayhauk-er linemen, calling it the junior quarterbacks best game of the season.

Explaining the attempted field goal early in the second quarter when the Wildcats were trailing. 9-0. Weaver said he figured K-State would have to play good defense to win and he still hadnt given up on it at that point. We counted on coming back and scoring, Weaver said, and we have a 2-point pass play for extra points that we think will work, so the field goal would have put us ahead, 11-9, if we lad been able to accomplish what we thought we could. At least we had a play that the fans can second-guess about.

Usually we dont even have that. Loss Hard to Take. Weavers disappointment was keen. I really thought wed do better. We all really believed we could win and even at the lalf we felt that we still had a heck of a chance to pull it out Kansas State changed just about everything it has done (Continued on Page 3B.)

(AP) Oklahoma demolished Colorado with four long touchdown strikes in the first 22 minutes and kept pouring it on for a 62-0 Big Eight football victory yesterday.

The defeat was the worst ever for last years champions since they joined the conference, (then the Big Seven), in 1943. The Oklahomans sacked up their third straight Big Eight triumph without defeat by puncturing Colorados secondary on quarterback Monte Deeres arrow-straight passes down the middle on touchdown plavs of 83, 41 and 32 yards in that 22-minute span. Halfback Virgil Boll caught two of them, John Flynn took the other. Halfback Paul Lea scampered 39 yards around left end for another T. D.

The fading Wildcats surrendered two more touchdowns the fourth period. Jack Mitchell, the Jayhawk coach, used his third string most of the fourth quarter and divided the playing time about equally among the three units that were in uniform for the game.

touchdown came on a 24-yard pass from Brian Palmer to Dave Green-ee. Sayers scored his touchdowns on two runs of 11 yards and another for 20 yards. Rodger McFarland ran five for the other Kansas T. D. Although Kansas State suffered its seventh straight loss and failed to score for the sixth time, the Wildcats showed sharp improvement over their )erformance of last week when they were routed by Oklahoma.

Larry Corrigan and Dusen-erry, the Wildcat aerial threats, received much better protection and there was more variety to the K-State pass pat-erns. As a result they completed nine of 25 passes. Three other passes went incomplete only because receivers could not hang on to the ball. The Wildcats also succeeded in toughening up their defense (Continued on Page 3B.)
