By Joe McGuff (Associate Sports Editor of The Star) Lincoln, Neb. Nebraska ran its winning streak to 14 games and its season record to 7-0 yesterday by scoring in the fourth quarter on a safety and a 37-yard pass to defeat a fired-up Missouri football team, 9-0, before a record crowd of 48,875 in Memorial stadium.

The margin of Missouris defeat can be expressed more accurately in inches. In the first period, Gary Lane broke loose down the sidelines on a bootleg and was headed for a touchdown when Larry VVach holtz dived for him from behind and got just enough of a hand on him to cause Lane to break his stride and go tumbling out of bounds at the Nebraska 17.

Devine Protests Call In the second period, Missouri put together its most impressive drive of the day and moved 38 yards to the Nebraska 21, but missed a first down by less than an inch. The Tigers protested the measurement.

Bud Abell broke through, grabbed him by his jersey and spun him. Churchich, who was within inches of going down, flung the ball blindly in the direction of Kent McCloughan, who was on the west sideline. McCloughan took the ball on his 26 and cut diagonally across the field. Johnny Roland grabbed hint at the 15 but Roland had no sooner laid his hands on McCloughan than he was knocked loose by a smashing block by Larry Kramer. McCloughan Dives In McGoughan righted himself and took off for the end zone, diving in just ahead of a Missouri pursuer who had picked up an angle on him.

Duncan Drum kicked the extra point with 6:34 remaining in the game. Missouri ran only four plays thereafter three incomplete passes and a punt. Nebraska held the ball for the final 5 minutes and 17 seconds. Missouris deepest penetration of the day was to the Nebraska 15 following Lanes sensational first-period run. In the last half, Missouri's two deepest penetrations were to the Nebraska 33 and 34.

The Tigers attempted field goals when the drives bogged down and both kicks were short. The Tigers 22-game scoring streak was broken by the Husk-ers, who limited them to 100 net yards rushing and 57 passing. The Huskers gained 152 on the ground and 118 in the air.

Roland, Rich Bernsen and Vince Tobin all had exceptional days. Nebraska had not been held to less than 14 points coming into the game.

Only the Huskers freak touchdown pass prevented the Tigers from holding Nebraska scoreless from scrimmage. The Tiger offense wasnt quite able to keep pace with the defease, but despite the frustration of not scoring, Missouri played what was probably its best all-around game of the season.

It was an exceptional performance by the aroused K-Staters, who certainly turned in their finest performance of the season. K. U.s offense had been stymied up to that point and hadnt been able to penetrate beyond the Wildcat 48. But, as has happened so many times in his brilliant career, Sayers was just too much to handle for a complete game. He had been held to a minus one yard on his two carries in the first half and had gained only 10 on two more assignments early in the third period.

(AP) Upstart Tulsa shattered Oklahoma State in record fashion, 61-14, yesterday with Jerry Rhome piercing the Cowboys defense with 35 passes, four of them for touchdowns. A Tulsa record crowd of 23,731 watched the Hurricane give the Cowpokes the worst drubbing in their 46-game series history, with Rhome setting school records for the most passes, most passing yardage, most total offense in one game.

End Howard Twilley caught a school record 15 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns. The Tulsa defense shared the glory, permitting the Cowboys clutches of Bill Matan and took off down the sideline. Bob Sjogren as the last Wildcat to have a shot at him as he left the other pursuing K-Staters in his dust, but Sayers somehow found a little more acceleration and rushed past Sjogren at the Wildcat 45. From there on. it was clear sailing and few can sail faster in the clear than the Omaha Phantom.

In six games, he has passed for 1,798 yards and has a total offense of 1,956, both tops in the nation. Besides throwing four touchdown passes to leave him only two short of the national college record for one season Rhome also plunged for two T. D.s.

(AP) Explosive Iowa scored with two seconds left but failed on a try for a 2-point conversion to let top-ranked Ohio State salvage a 21-19 victory and remain in a tie for the Big 10 football lead with Purdue. The Buckeyes, who turned two Iowa errors into touchdowns and electrified the crowd with a touchdown in three plays in the third quarter, stopped Gary-Snooks extra point run eight inches short of the goal for their sixth straight triumph.

Iowa had blocked an Ohio State punt on the Buckeye 12 earlier in the fourth quarter, but failed to gain. With four minutes left Iowa drove to the Ohio State 2-yard line and got off four running plays without a huddle. Craig Nourse finally cracked over on fourth down with two seconds to play. On the try for a tie, Snook rolled to the left and was stopped by Ohio State's Dwight Kelley, who earlier had blocked an Iowa extra point kick. The finish was no more exciting than the start, when Ohio States Steve Dreffer intercepted Snooks pass on the first play after the opening kickoff and raced 36 yards for a touchdown.

The Jets, who have not lost at home in their maiden season at new Shea stadium, now are 4-2-1. A crowd of 45,033 cheered the Jets every move. McDaniel, the Jets middle linebacker, triggered New Yorks first half offensive when he grabbed a Gabe Pariili pass, stepjbed down the sidelines and dove over for a touchdown after a key block from Clyde Washington. That came at the end of a sluggish first quarter.

Then, with Pariili having considerable difficulty, Jets quarterback Dick Wood started to rifle passes to Bake Turner and Don Maynard to get the Jets rolling on their own in the second period. Wood, who completed 11 passes in a row during the second hall, wound up passing for three touchdowns 40 and five yards to Turner and 29 to Maynard. But the first was aided by By Bill Richardson (A Member of The Star's SDOrts Staff) TTEMPTING to snap a 3-game losing streak, the Kan-City Chiefs today face the team that started them on their nosedive. The Denver Broncos, who registered their only victory at the Chiefs' expense October 11 in Denver, 33-27, invade the Municipal Stadium for a 2:35 oclock American Football league contest. Since taming Kansas City, Denver has gone on a 2-game skid and comes into todays outing greatly revamped after a disheartening string of injuries.

So the Chiefs will be favored in a game they need badly to stay in the Western division race. With a 2-4 record, the Chiefs trail San Diego by two games. Denver has a 1-8 record and only a slim chance to join the title scramble. Most of the Chiefs misfortune has occurred on the road. They are happy to return to home grounds, where they have a 1-1 record.

This is the first of a 3-game home stand. Coach Hank Stram said the Kansas City team would be in near-peak physical shape today. Among his recuperated warriors is quarterback Len Dawson, who has played only two quarters in the last two weeks. Dawsons importance cannot be minimized. Of the Chiefs 12 touchdowns prior to his rib injury, he passed or ran for all but one.

Coach Mac Speedie of Denver has announced a change in his quarterback ratings. Mickey Slaughter, second-year pro, has replaced Jacky Lee, 5-year veteran, as the No. 1 man. Speedie said the change was necessary because Lee had not been moving the club. This sounds like a familiar refrain.

The Chiefs offense bogged down considerably in their most recent game, a 24-7 loss to Boston. Kansas City made only seven first downs in that outing, lowest output in club history. But with the injury situation clearing up, the Chiefs snould start showing some offensive spark. Chris Burford, the talented split end who ignored a shoulder ailment to turn in a strong performance in Boston, represents a consistent threat with his pass receiving. Burford is especially adept at catching the crucial third-down passes.

Dawson will have standout receivers to look for today in Fred Arbanas, tight end, and Frank Jackson, the flanker on the right side. If the air game clicks, the way will be open for the power runs off the draw by Mack Lee Hill, the Chiefs hard-charging rookie fallback. Stram probably wont decide until just before game time who will be the other running back. Last week, he said it would be either Curtis McClinton or Abner Haynes. Less time is spent by Stram worrying about his defense.
