The other former major leaguer was in the stands Saturday for the same reason that he has been at every game in at least the last four years. He is Wyrostek, a journeyman baseball player for 11 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals. Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies and Cincinnati Reds, whose son Tom is a guard on the Missouri eleven.

Football Over Baseball Although the elder Wyrostek made his livelihood from baseball, his chief interest now as a fan falls with football. just flatly refuses to go to baseball says Tom. rarely even listens to a baseball game.

The Huskers had the ball twice and go a Oklahoma State once.

But the next time Okla- OU-NU Key Is In Line Continued From Page 1-D pull the Tigers within 6-3 with 3:41 remaining in the first half. The Tigers had to battle from behind all day in their bid to keep hopes for a Big Eight title tie alive. They fell behind. 6-0, when Shields took a Daryl Krugman punt on the Oklahoma 35 and scampered down the east sideline in front of the Sooner bench 65 yards for a touchdown. But around these three scoring occasions there was little offense evident from either side of the field with Missouri responsible for most of the lack of offense in both camps.

The Tigers obviously had no offense other than quarterback Gary Lane and the Soon- crs had to worry little about anyone in a gold jersey other than the sophomore quarterback Meanwhile, the Sooners who will battle Nebraska next Saturday in Lincoln for the Eight title, showed some fine running backs but with the exception of Grisham's like charges up the middle and an occasional spring around the outside by Shields, the Tiger defense was tough. Next battle for the Big Eight title and the Orange Bowl trip that goes with it very well could be decided in the line. Nebraska ly will show the Sooners more offense than they encountered here Saturday. The big question could be: Can line stop OU the way Missouri did0 only offensive threat was Lane rolling out on a run or pass and the Tiger signal-caller found Sooner pass defense vulnerable at times especially up the middle, completing 10 of 25. But the Sooners also had little else to worry about, allowing them to catch three of aerials with all of them coming at key points.

Three lost fumbles also cost the Tigers, one of them coming at the Sooner seven- yard line at the end of the first half. Lane had hit Harry Abell with a pass at the seven for a first down, but the Missouri end tumbled and Oklahoma recovered. Had Missouri been able to move in with this drive and score the Timers may have had a different ball a here Saturday. Although the point spread was more, Oklahoma quite measure up to the Nebraska performance here two weeks ago in some respects: Sooners gained only 229 yards rushing, compared to nearly 300 by the Huskers against Missouri. and Missouri both ran nearly the same number of plays, 81-72, while the Huskers held nearly a 2-1 advantage over the Tigers.

drives here Saturday were stopped by a Missouri defense while Nc- i drives against same Tigers suffered penalties. When Nebraska plays host to Oklahoma Saturday in the Big Eight title test, both will take unbeaten league marks into the game and Oklahoma will be going for its 17th straight Big Bright win.

The payoff came on a Miller to Williams aerial from the four-yard line. But there were only 51 seconds left in the game. The Pokes went for two-pointer, but it was broken up by Dick Callahan. They attempted an onside kick, but it was scooped up by Ron Michka and the Huskers killed the clock.

Although Miller was at his best in the second half, he was reasonably effective all day, completing 19 of 32 for 165 yards. Nine of them went to Jacobsen for 105 yards. It was his aerials which led to the Cowboy field goal from the 20-yard line. It came right after the Cornhuskers had opened the scoring for the day. Nebraska, blowing and cold with big gainers and failures, moved into State territory the first two times it had the ball, but tally.

But the third time was a charm. With Duda and Willie Ross doing the running, the Huskers zipped 55 yards in nine plays with Joe McNulty going over from the two two plays deep in the second period. Dave Theisen kicked his first of two conversions for the day, missing on the third attempt. The Cowboys came back to get the field goal, but it only brought on another of those punishing long range drives by Nebraska. This 70-yarder Included three passes by Duda.

one each to Larry Tomlinson, Chuck Doepke and McNulty. The one to McNulty was tiie play of the day, Duda faked twice and got both of the would be Nebraska ball carriers tackled, then pitched to McNulty near the sidelines for 12 yards to the O-State 14. Two plays later Duda carried it in on a beautiful run from the seven. Nebraska continued trend at the start of the second half, going 73 yards in 14 plays. Only two of the plays were for any distance, a 15-yard run by Bruce Smith on the draw and another 15-yarder by Duda.

Maynard Smidt took it In from the three and the Huskers were finished for the day. Oklahoma State now has a 1-7 record, whipping only Tulsa.

Oklahoma State coach Phil Cutchin is a quiet man not prone to use superlatives, lie was a soft spoken man as usual after his team lost, 20-16, to Nebraska, but he abandoned the latter trait.

Tie was impressed with omore quarterback Fred Duda. Cutchin said. the other (senior Dennis Claridge, who has missed the last games with injuries) is better than him, (Duda) the guy who beat us if one guv can do But even with the narrow victory, Cutchin was impressed overall with Cornhuskers. is a fine football team and sure they missed those folks they left at he said, referring to Claridge, fullback Rudy Johnson and tackle Monte fin. It was slightly unusual, but Cutchin singled out a play to illustrate his feelings about Nebraska.

He shook his head over the catch of the onside kickoff attempt by Ron Michka. O-State had pulled to within the final four-point spread with 51 seconds to go and tried the short kick. Michka took it around his shins and handled it flawlessly. got an end or back who can catch the football like he said. He also noted that outside of Duda.
