But guided by a pint-sized kid who just to play the kers came from behind and then held off the talented Longhorns through an eternity in the 4th quarter. Pat Fischer, he with the heart of a lion and the left of Mercury, made his debut as the NU T-formation leader, so brilliant that he almost completely outshone the fleet of Texas backs who were expected to lead coach Darrell Royal to the elite and a 3rd bowl game in 4 years. It was E'ischer, who threw a scare into the Nebraska camp last week with a slightly stiff knee, who had probably his greatest day as a Corn- husker. In his quarterback debut the 160-pound senior from Omaha, scored both touchdowns and passed to Bill Thornton for the 2-point conversion that meant victory. His first score outdid anything the Texans could unfold.
