great Don Trull and Larry Elkins set h- west Conference passing records and probably continued on as the nation's leaders in passing and pass-receiving, but they could do nothing when the chips were down against the vicious Texas pass rush and glittering defense. A crowd of 64,530 that jammed Memorial Stadium to the rafters, sat in a drizzling rain to watch the big game of the Southwest Conference as the two undefeated teams in conference play met. Texas, playing its usual style of game, held the ball most of the time, keeping Baylor from even a first down in the second and third periods. Texas threatened repeatedly to score with its grinding ground game but met a gritty Baylor defense that crack until that brief period in the third quarter. Quarterback Carlisle passed for 16 yards and ran for 16.

Cornhuskers still rank unofficially as the number one rushing team in college football, despite a Kansas defense which held them to nearly 90 yards less than their previous per- game average.

The Huskers made 201 yards on the ground against 3as, after averaging 289 yards through the first seven games. The performance against KU brought the Husker average down to 278 yards per game, or 2,224 yards after eight games. Although all returns are not in, this is probably enough to lead the nation. The Husker-Kansas game may have produced another national leader.
