(UPI) Sophomore quarterback Gene Cagle, in his first starting role, scored three touchdowns and fired up the sagging Oklahoma attack for a 21-7 Big Eight victory over winless Kansas Saturday. It was the first win of the season and a happy homecoming for Oklahoma, which until today showed very little offensive might.

Frantic Colorado made up for a rash of errors with a last- ditch drive that produced a 33-yard field goal by Frank Rogers and a 10-10 football tie with upstart Iowa State here Saturday. It was at that point that Iowa Steve Balkovec booted a 34-yard field goal for a 10-7 Cyclone lead, climaxing a comeback which shocked 25.M10 homecomers here on a chilly, sunny day. kick with 21 seconds left was a second- chance effort which gave the Buffs their second deadlock in five games in what was supposed to be only a tuneup for next battle at Nebraska.

Rogers promptly made it 7-0. and that was all the scoring for a time, because Buffalo fortunes soon took a turn for the worse. The winning Los Dodgers picked up about 10 grand and the Minnesota Twins about $6.500 for their efforts in the World Series.

The umpires fair that well. They receive only $4,000. Nebraskans in Winter Ball Several of the young baseball players from Nebraska and around the Big Eight will be playing in the instructional leagues in Florida and Arizona this winter. Last Husker pitching sensation Stan Babnsen and Dave McDonald of Grand Island will be with the Yankees in Florida.

Also in Florida is former Missourian John Scvcik. In the Arizona circuit Ken Fila will be getting a jump on his debut next spring. In that league former Lincoln Chiefs skipper Monty Basgall will field a team for the Dodgers. Incidentally, the instructional league is pretty fast baseball.

Kansas took the ball on the Oklahoma 39 when end Bill Walters recovered a fumble and Skahan rifled three straight completions to move to the Oklahoma 10.
