With the Reds threatening to score again, defensive back Marv Muellei intercepted a Wayne Weber pass in the end zone and got out to the one-foot line. Fierro then moved his White teammates the length of the field and into a 30 mile-an-hour wind that played havoc with the NU punters. Fierro kept the defense off balance with a varied running and passing attack.

IBy CURT MOSHER Columbia, found a higher peak than Pike ever did here Saturday as the inspired Cornhuskers of coach Frank Sevigne ended 15 years of frustration to win the 38th annual Big Eight Conference track and field championships. With Dave Crook running the fastest quarter mile in Big Eight history in 45.9 and sprinter Charlie Greene and hurdler Dave Kudron scoring double victories, Nebraska ended a three-year stronghold on the outdoor title held by Kansas. The Rampaging Huskers had six athletes reaching a seasonal high and amassed 113 points to 103 for Oklahoma and its talented band of sprinters. Behind this duo came Oklahoma State with 80, Kansas 77, 48 each for Missouri and Colorado, 37 for Kansas State and 21 for Iowa State.

Ind. Mario Andretti set a new speed standard for the 57- year old Indianapolis Motor Speedway Saturday and veteran Chuck Rodee was killed in one of four wrecks that blemised the fastest qualification session for the Memorial Day 5(X)-mile race. Andretti, native of Tieste, Italy, who won the U.S. Auto national championship Iasi year, captured the No. i starting position for the 500 at an unchallenged speed of 165.899 miles an hour for the 10-mile run and 166.328 for one lap around the 2 2 -mile asphalt track.

A. J. Foyt of Houston, twice winner of the race, held the year-old records of 161.233 and 161.958. He was one of the four rivers who slid into the concrete retaining wall Saturday. He was hot hurt.

Rodee. 38, whose home is only a short distance from the old track, became the 57th fatality there. His car swerved tail first against the wall coming out of the main stretch in view of a large part of a crowd of about 175.000. No official attendance figures were given, but police estimates ranged up 200 000 Carl Williams of Kansas City, rated the hottest rookie at the track this year, also escaped injury in a crash, and Ail Malone, Tampa, Fla suffered only minor burns when his car hit the wall and caught fire.

They averaged 160.743 m.pgh. for the tests, compared with 136.052 for the 1965 field. Andretti, who resides in Nazareth, will share the three car front row with Jimmy Clark of Scotland, the 1965 Indianapolis winner and world road racing champion, and George Snider, Fresno, who will be making his second 500 start. As a rookie last year, Andretti finished third in the 5(K). Clark, one of the last runners, averaged 164.144 in a new Ix)tus-Ford, spons()red by the Chemical Division of Studebaker which quit making autos this year.

Snider, who ran before Andretti, briefly held the 10-mile record at 162.521 and the one- lap mark at 163,014. He drove the IvOtus-F'ord in which Bobby Johns of Miami, finished seventh in last 500. Parnelli Jones, the 1963 Indianapolis winner, salvaged the reputation of the new supercharged Offenhausers by i using one for the fourth Snider (lark Another driver who bettered record was Lloyd Ruby.

There could hardly be one place selected where Nebraska won this meet, but it would be difficult to overlook double in the 120-yard highs and 330-yard intermediates. This was the one place where Nebraska had faltered in the preliminaries as Ray Harvey, who had won both indoor hurdle events, came up injured and run up to form. But Kudron took both and in doing so came up with his best times of the season in both events.

It was strictly a Nebraska effort as Oklahoma did about all it could.
