ID LINCOLN SUNDAY JOURNAL AND ST A ft 1, Nebraska Stars Plentiful in Tension Packed Victory Johnsons PAT Kick Decides It Continued From Page I Lane pass late in the game by NT halfback Kent Mc- Clouehan that stopped a final Tiger throat and sewed up the Hunker win. Hut vying with each of these individual factors is the opening Husker drive that carried the Scarlet and ('ream 76 yards in 11 plays for the TO after taking the opening kickoff. Actually the drive covered 91 yards when you include a 15-yard penalty that set the Huskers back momentarily. NU went the entire distance without leaving the ground. Johnson gave an indication that he was the man to watch in the Husker back- fiekl when he took a handoff from Claridge on the first play and went 31 yards to the Husker 45.

After the Huskers drove to the Missouri 31 in four more plays, the Scarlet and Cream was hit by a 15- yard holding penalty. This stunned the Huskers only for a second because (laridge fired back with a 10-yarder to the 36, Hohn added 10 and Johnson got 10 more. Hohn and Ross cracked to the Tiger 5 and Claridgc carried the ball in to give the 6-0 lead. When Johnson kicked the conversion it was 7-0 and only 4:52 had elapsed. The Tigers never moved the ball consistently against the NU defenses.

For instance. Missouri had the ball for only two plays on each of its touchdown series. The first Missouri TD came with 8:30 left in the second quarter and was set up when Claridge booted a 10-yard punt out-of- bounds at the NU 33. Lane looped a pass over Husker defenders Fred Duda and Ted Vector to Ted Saussele at the Husker three-yard line. Fullback Gus Otto took a handoff from Lane and drove to the one-yard marker.

When hit. he fumbled into the end zone where Ken Boston fell on the ball for the tally with 14:54 remaining in the second period. But when placement kick was wide, the Huskers still led, 7-6. The second Missouri score was a two-play affair and came after the Huskers had moved out to a 13-6 lead on previous series. A short kickoff by Larry T.

mlinson stopped at Missouri 33 and Lane then paused to John Sevcik for 14. On the next play le found Boston all alone at the Husker 25. Boston gathered in the pass and raced into the end zone with no one close to catching him. key pass defense play stopped the two-point conversion attempt and the Huskers held on for the win. Nebraska scored its second touchdown in almost a carbon copy of the opening TD drive.

Claridge guided the Husker attack 81 yards, using only three passes two to McCloughan and one to Ross. Johnson carried the ball ove- from one yard away with 9:13 left in the final period. first PAT kick was good, but NU once ayain was penalized for holding and Thcisen failed on the second attempt. The win gives Nebraska the lead in the Big Eight with a 4-0 mark, slightly ahead of Oklahoma with a 3-0 record. The Huskers must get by three more foes to capture their first conference crown since 1940 a feat that also would land them an Orange Bowl berth.

Sixth- ranked Oklahoma, pestered more by its own miscues than by defense, packed most of its scoring into the second and third periods Saturday and defeated the Buffaloes, 35-0. It was the 14th consecutive Big Eight Conference victory for the defending champions and their third this year. The Sooners gained almost at will against Colorado, but four lost fumbles and ragged play execution stymied drives time and again.

The Sooners mauled the Buffalo defense for 284 yards in the first half and racked up 17 first downs before intermission. But their own errors limited their scoring production to only 14 points. They added two more touchdowns in the third quarter and another late in the final period. Oklahoma threatened the first two times it got the ball, but did not score until early in the second quarter when Lance Rentzel picked his way into the end zone from the six. A few minutes latnr.

JacMe Cowan scooted over from 17 yards out for the first of his two touchdowns. He got the second in third period with a 16-yard run. Cowan, normally a defensive specialist, led the Sooners with 121 yards in 10 carries. defense kept the Buffaloes bottled up completely and Colorado threatened only once. That came after final touchdown when Colorado quarterback Frank Cesarek passed the Buffs to the Oklahoma 19, where the drive stalled.

Ames, Iowa, (UPI) Iowa State had a change of pace Saturday in beating back a sparkling Oklahoma State counterattack to defeat the Cowboys, 33-28, in a wild Big Eight football game. The high-scoring melee was in sharp contrast to the tight defensive battle last week on the same field when the Cyclones held powerful Missouri to 18 vards rushing hut lost, 7-0. Iowa State jumped off Saturday to a 13-0 lead and was never behind but Oklahoma Stale constantly chipped away and was never out of contention until the final gun. The victory before 20,000 homecoming fans was the fourth in a row over the Cowboys and gave Iowa State a 4-3 season and 3-2 conference record.

Oklahoma State is winless in six games this year, four of them in the Big Eight. The game featured two long runs, one by each team. The third touchdown rame on an 84-yard kickoff return by wingback Dick Limerick, and the final tally was an 80-yard run by sophomore halfback Jeff Williams. The game was wide open from both sides and neither team seemed able to put up much of a defense. Oklahoma State was ahead in all statistical departments, outgaining the Cyclones on the ground 199 to 194 yards, and in the air 201 to 79.

The Cowboys completed 15 passes, all by senior quarterback Mike Miller. Iowa State completed only 4 of 8 tosses. Iowa State fullback in Vaughn, second leading rusher in nference. r-orcii three times for the Cyclones and Limerick had the other touchdowns. Fullback George Thomas scored twice for the losers and Miller and Williams had one each.

Iowa State marched 73 1 yards with the opening kick-1 off to take a 6-0 lead and early in the second quarter stretched the auvantage to 13-0 after recovering a Williams fumble on the Cowboy 11 scoring kickoff return came after Oklahoma State had driven 74 yards in 7 plays for its first touchdown. Each team scored once more before the half ended to give Iowa State a 26-14 edge at the intermission. The Cowboys took the second hall kickoff and went 85 yards in 15 plays to score and pull within five points. The Cyclones came back early in the 4th period and drove 43 yards in 11 plays with Vaughn bucking over final inches. ensuing kickoff went into the endzone for a touchback.

On the next play, Williams went all the way to conclude the scoring.

Rollie Fickenscher got the only Scottsbluff score on a three-yard run in the first period. The scoring drive was set up when a Trinidad fumble was recovered on the 48. Trinidad came back to score again on an 80-yard run on the first play from scrimmage following the Scottsbluff score.

Trimdad scored three of its touchdowns on pass plays. Tom Kerr kicked 7 of 8 extra points. Trinidad Scottsbluff Continued From Page 1-D poorest day of the season rushing. The flashy halfback managed just 79 yards on 15 attempts, but still managed to electrify the crowd with a 63- yard punt return for a TD on the fourth play of the game. Sayers added a second touchdown early in the third period for a 4-yard sweep.

He went into the game as the leading rusher. But Sayers does not show concern for his injury as much as Mitchell. be ready next said Sayers and added, can be other injury worries mounted in the game when he lost two of his top ends. Jay Roberts suffered a shoulder injury and Bob Reid hurt a knee. And on Friday starting guard Ron Marsh, another Omahan, was hurt in an automobile accident and missed the K-State battle.

However, Mitchell expects his troops to all be ready next week. opening touchdown here Saturday set pace for a game completely dominated by the Jayhawks. Kansas State made only one trip into KU territory in the first half and that was on the closing series of downs. Another Nebraskan figured in the scoring. Junior quarterback Sid Micek of Scottsbluff stole one of third quarter passes and rambled 27 yards to paydirt.

The golden anniversary homecoming crowd of some 30,000 also saw Tony Leiker score on a 17-yard sweep and fullback Ken Coleman on a one-yard plunge. Nebraska freshman coach John Melton may have a dry Extra Point Club presentation for Monday because he observed that Mitchell kept his Jayhawks pretty much under wrap. With the exception of Savers, it was Coleman and his alternate, Armand Baughman that handled the bulk of the ball carrying chores. Each carried nine times with Baughman getting 45 yards and Coleman 43.
