(AP) Quarterback Jon Brittenum drove Arkansas 80 yards in the closing minutes and scored the touchdown that toppled Texas, the nations No. 1 team, 27-24, yesterday.

Brittenum squeezed into the end zone with 1:32 left, snapping the Texas winning streak at 10 games, and extending third-ranked Arkansass to 17, longest in the nation by a major college team. It may have been the game that decides the championship in the Southwest conference. The desperation drive closed the book on a magnificent comeback by the Longhorns, who trailed 2IM) after Arkansas unleashed defensive thunderbolts that netted two touchdowns, one on a 77-yard fumble return by Tommy Trantham. Marv Kristynik, a gamblers gambler, turned to the lowly pass when Texas found that it could not move with the tried and true it's ground attack. Kristynik opened up the Razor-back defenses with his passing, and, when thwarted, scrambled for the necessary yards himself.

He plunged one yard for a touchdown and ran 14 yards for anothter. David Conway, called upon to fulfill dying drives, kicked field goals of 35, 34 and 34 yards for the Longhorns. That gave Texas a 24-21 lead. Then the S-foot, 180-pound Brittenum let go. He hit six passes in the clinching drive, four of them to end Bobby Crockett, who took the last one for 14 yards In a falling catch at the- Texaa 1.

Brittenum went in on the next play. An interception stopped the ensuring, and final, Texas sesssion. The rugged Razorback defense got the first two Arkansas touchdowns. Bob Nixs 53-yard punt came down to Phil Harris at the Texas 5, and, hit by tackle Glen Ray Hines, Harris fumbled. Martine Bercher recovered the ball in the end zone.

Minutes later, Texas was driving when Harris, hit hard on an end run, fumbled in the air. Trantham, Arkansas corner-back, grabbed it in flight and set sail on his 77-yard run, with Jack Brasuell, safetyman, providing a clearing block at the Texas 10. Arkansas marched 60 yards for its third touchdown, which came on an 11-yard pass from Brittenum to Crockett. The Longhorns piled up 401 yards total offense to 181 for Arkansas. Arkansas and Texas have won or shared every conference title since 1959, and the winner of this game, played before 40,000 and a national television audience, usually wins the conference crown and goes to the Cotton bowl.

1 Walt Barnes and Czap Lead Cornmen's Strong Defense By Sid Bordman (A Atember of The Star's Soorts S) Manhattan, Kas. It fig-ured, and it happened yesterday on the turf of Memorial stadium. Nebraska, rated No. 2 nationally and reaching for top ranking among college football teams, flattened Kansas State, 41-0, with an overpowering attack and defense to match. Huskers Now 5-0 With a near-capacity crowd of about 20,000 awaiting the inevi-table Husker explosion, Kansas Photograph.

From Manhattan by William Radford, jr. States bear-down defensive unit kept the gates to the goal-line shut until the opening minute of the second quarter. Once the Huskers untracked, they were virtually unstoppable, breaking into a 21-0 half-time advantage. A 14-point fourth quarter put the lid on the Huskers fifth triumph without a loss. Kansas State, now an 0-5 club followed its usual script.

The Wildcats offense faltered early and often, putting too much pressure on the defensive unit. Matan Fights Back Despite the lopsided score, which was not exaggerated by Wildcat errors, Kansas State fielded some outstanding players Bill Matan, the rough-and-ready 239-pound senior defensive end who is being tabbed as all-America, added to the claim with a great game. He tackled, rushed and wiped out Husker blockers. Walt Barnes. Nebraskas all-America candidate, was as Impressive as Matan.

The 252-pound defensive tackle, teamed with 261-pound Dick Czap to corral Wildcat hall carriers and keep Vic Castillo and the other quarterbacks In hot a r. Barnes, as quick as he is strong, made tackles from side-to-sidp, deep and shallow. The Huskers, who were only 40 strong because of conference regulations limiting traveling squads, received sparkling quarterbacking from Fred Duda and Bob Churchich as they chalked up 250 yards on the ground and 184 by passing.

A 79-yard kick-off return by Ray Thorpe and a 67-yard punt return by Johnny Roland gave Missouri a 14-14 tie with U. C. L. A. yesterday in a 'thrilling, bewildering football game that left fans hammering their heads in an effort to get the events of the day in focus.

U. C. L. A. completely dominated the first 44 minutes and 37 seconds of the game.

The Bruins scored in the second quarter on a 34-yard pass from quarter- Photograph From Columbia by Arnold B. Crank and Jim Lap-ham back Gary Beban to end Byron Nelson. The Bruins scored again in the opening seconds of the fourth quarter on a pass from Beban to end Kurt Altenberg that also covered 34 yards. At this point the Tigers trailed, 14-0, and their chances appeared comparable to those of Joe Nossek hitting a home run against Sandy Koufax. The Tigers had reached the Brain 20 in the first period and this proved to be their deepest penetration of the day from scrimmage.

They were unable to cross the 50 in the second period and did not get past their own 49 in the third.

The game will be broadcast on KCMO and televised outside the Kansas City area by NBC. Coach Hank Stram said he would start Len Dawson, his No.

1 quarterback, against the Bills. Dawson sat out last Sundays 31-23 victory at Denver, directed by his young understudy, Pete Beathard. Dawson steered the Chiefs to triumphs over New York and Boston and also was at the helm in the 10-10 deadlock with San Diego. If Dawson should need relief, Stram knows Beathard is capable of supplying it. Buffalo, seeking breathing room as the Eastern division leader, will rely on Jack Kemp, its pass-minded veteran, with young Daryle Lamon-ica in the wings.

Kemp has had notable success against the Chiefs, posting a 3-0-1 mark against them over the last two years.

It was the first starting assignment for the sophomore quarterback and the first victory for the Sooners, who had been shut out the last two outings.

Oklahoma fans had been grumbling because the Sooners seemed to be heading in the same direction as last year, when first one and then another quarterback was tried.
