(am Cowboys Hold on i mm Oklahoma Is Next, Final NU Opponent When it was all over the tired, cold and mud plastered warriors trooped into the dressing room. Those who had played a lot couldn't get out of uniforms by themselves. Strings holding pads in place had to be cut. So did many of the web belts. It took trainer George Sullivan a long time to get pads and tape off Bill (thunder) Thornton.

It was revealed that Thunder did not practice last week due to a leg injury and was not supposed to see action. But the heroic junior from Toledo was ready at the bell and collected 24 of Nebraska's 31 yards in the first half. But after one play in the second half, Bill took himself out and suggested he be used just on defense. There were no excuses from the powerful fullback. "It was just as bad a field for them as it was for us," Thornton said in quiet tones.

"We couldn't do anything. We couldn't find a place to run. We needed to find the bread and butter play and we couldn't." Thornton wanted no part of comparing Colorado and Kansas. "You can't tell how tough they were in a situation like this," he declared. Dennis Claridge, who played the entire game, was slowly trying to get mud caked shoes off.

"The ball got slippery a couple of times," Claridge said. 'They were real tough. They stunted a lot and we couldn't handle them. Their ends were tough and stopped us outside." Senior end Don Purcell didn't feel Colorado was as good as Kansas. "They were pretty good, but not as good as Kansas," Purcell said.

"They did roll up a few more yards than we did," he grinned. "But I don't think they should go to the Orange Bowl. Kansas should." Guard Dwain Carlson said the Husker linemen "couldn't get any traction on offense. We hit 'em but we couldn't stay with 'em. They were big and used a lot of stunts.

This hurt us a lot on our pass protection." Carlson didn't want to compare the two top teams in the Big 8. "It's real hard to tell," he declared, "but Colorado had a well balanced team." Tackle Bob Brown was frank to admit he didn't think Colorado was as good as Kansas. "We just couldn't get the breaks," the sophomore from Cleveland said. "They did a lot of stunting and they also did some outside which surprised me. It's hard to tell anything when a game is played on a muddy field.

Hardin Visitor Chancellor Clifford Hardin was a visitor to the Husker dressing room. He had nothing to report on his search for a Nebraska athletic director other than to confirm that he had contacted Tippy Dye of Wichita U. The NU Board of Regents meets Saturday but the chancellor gave the impression a decision on a director was not likely by that time. Jersey Change Colorado put clean, dry jerseys on many of its players at halftime. Coach Bill Jennings said the Huskers considered a change but decided against it.

"Ours weren't too bad," he said, 'and we knew they would get muddy quickly anyway," Lexington Day University of Nebraska athletes from Lexington were honored by their home town Saturday at halftime.

() Three short touchdown drives in the first half and another in the 4th period after a fumble recoverygave Oklahoma State a 28 24 football victory Saturday over Houston. But Oklahoma State, which completely dominated play in the first half, needed that advantage to hold off a passing Houston team which scored 3 touchdowns in the second half. All second half touchdowns were on forward passes. The Texans matched the Oklahomans in touchdowns, 4 each, but did not make a sin gle conversion. A kick failed following their first score, and Houston went for the two Pointer after the other 3 touchdowns.

But a run and two pass attempts for the two point conversions failed.

a title tie. And the Buffs have beaten Kansas, which could tie, to cling to the Orange Bowl inside track. Dashed to smithereens by the humiliation were Husker hopes for a winning season. Nebraska stands 3 5 1 for the season and 2 4 in loop action. Colorado dominated the scoreless first half, although the Huskers blunted two seor ing bids with some furious de fen.se and twice forced abur tive field goal attempts by Buff booting star Jerry Hilie brand.

Perhaps expecting Coach Sonny Grandelius to live up to his pre game "conservative" tag, the Huskers got the sur prise of their lives after the second half kickoff. Sonny turned Gale Weidner Big 8 passing leader loose on the first play and he promptly fired a 26 yard pass to Bill Harris. Next it was a 20 yard strike to Hiilebrand and the Buffs were on the march. With rushing leader Loren Schweninger 93 yards of muddmg ripping off tackle, they rolled to the NU 17 and Weidner fired a 11 yard pass to Olympian Teddy Woods for a first down on the 6. Nebraska needed a "break" and got it when Harris fumbled and Gary Too good recov ered, on the Husker 12, set By Jim Raglin Full faced smiles and whoops of elation helped crack the dirt on the mud encrusted faces of the Colorado football team.

It was a back slapping, praise passing bunch gathered in the dank dressing quarters celebrating a 7 0 win. Appropriately enough, most of the players chewed slices of oranges as they shucked filthy uniforms and headed for the showers. Coach Sonny (irandelius made it clear to his team, the press and anyone else in the vicinity 'that his Buffs should represent the Big Eight in the Orange Bowl. Immediately after the team entered the dressing room, Grandelius told the players, "You are the team zone for the game's only touchdown with 2:30 left in the 3rd quarter. Hiilebrand, who missed 3 field goal tries for the day, booted the point to wrap it up.

Nebraska got the ball only 4 more times and managed only incomplete passes the rest of the way, one on a fake punt with 2:02 left in the game after a fumble recovery at the NU 28 offered a final chance' to make a yard. Just prior, wuh 4 minute. left, Hiilebrand tried his 3rd field goal of the day from the NU 23, but it was blocked by end Don Purcell. Hillebrand's two kicks supplied the only tense moments of the scoreless first half. But the fans warmed up on a couple of occasions when officials nabbed NU for personal fouls.

The second personal foul on NU came on a fine 54 yard punt by Claridge when several Huskers banged into the CU receiver on the Buff 14. With a 15 yard boost and fans pelting the field with snow balls and boos the Buffs moved off tackle and via short passes to the NU 19. There Weldner's 3rd down pass was incomplete and Hil lebrand's try from the 25 was far to the right. In the first quarter, after CU took possession at the NU "Wa a field goai from the 36. But the boot was far short.

Nebraska's best first half position came late in the first quarter when Bob Brown recovered a Leon Mavity fumble on the NU 37, the play following the first personal foul penalty. But the Scarlets could get only to the 41. Thornton was the Husker first half workhorse, getting 24 of NU's 31 yards on a plunges. The Buffs, who out downed the Huskers 8 0 in the first 2 quarters, picked up 7 yards on the ground and 51 through the air on 6 of 9 completions for a 129 31 half time edge. Buff heroes were numerous, with tackle John Denvir and Ali American guard Joe Ko mig sparkling on defense.

But it was Weidner's passing 10 of 14 for 150 yard which riddled the suspect Nebraska pass defense and turned the tide. Harris chipped in 53 yards rushing to join Schweninger for infantry honors. JsQbmte winds up Uia mi that will go to the Orange "How can they keep us out of the Orange Bowl? If winning the conference championship means anything we should go. We beat the other two (Kansas and Missouri) they (the Orange Bowl committee) are talking said Sonny. For emphasis, he said: 'I have no doubt we will be invited." He obviously was upset about reports Kansas might make the Miami trip instead of Colorado.

He made one conversational detour during the Bowl talk: "We were shooting for the conference championship. This school has never had one." Nebraska's defenses surprised Colorado coaches. "We did not anticipate them and had to adjust," said Grandelius. Colorado fumbles troubled the young coach. "Except for the fumbles, we played exceptional football.

Before today we fumbled only 3 times and lost the ball only once." "We used only 11 men most of the way. Gale Weidner (quarterback), Joe Romig (guard) and Jerry Hiilebrand (end) were next to sensational," said Sonny For Nebraska he credited tackle Bob Brown for "a real good job." "You stiil have to have respect for Claridge. We put plenty of nressure on him," he added. "Nebraska hit hard and showed good fundamentals. It helped us to remember two years ago when we came here expecting to win and were surprised," Grandelius added.

His face caked with dried mud, linebacker Ralph Heck commented on the persona! foul that set up Colorado's winning, and only, touchdown. "Two guys hit me after he play, knocking me down. I was surprised they called it (the He said one of the NU players involved was Don Purcell. He and I just looked at each other and laughed, Heck said. Hiilebrand, gigantic end, said: "It was a rough game good, hard hitting.

Purcell is real good. I hate to sav that about another end. Bill Thornton really comes at you hard and 'is the best fullback we've seen. Center Walt Klinker agreed that it was rough and singled out Lloyd Voss, NU sophomore tackle, for praise. Joe Romig, AU American guard, flexed his mountain of muscles and commented: i don't think either team could do more than it did in that mud.

Thornton ran hard and played real well on defense." Despite the sloppy field, the Colorado players had some complimentary words for the mud. "It's a heck of a lot of fun to play ia the mud," said Heck, campaign at Memorial Stadium next Saturday against Oklahoma, the team they've beaten for two straight years.

Fighting broke out in the California rooting section in the second half and after it quieted down more than half the members had left the game apparently in disgust. California didn't even threaten to score until Rudy Carvajal sprinted 77 yards to set up a counter in the final period after the score already was 41 0.

Hadl completed 9 pass attempts for 81 yards and one touchdown before the Kansas second and third stringers went in. He also had a long touchdown pass to McClinton nullified for holding. California, beaten 7 times this year, helped Kansas along by losing fumbles 3 times. The victory was Kansas 6th in 9 starts this year, with one tie.
