Huskers Rally To Will ('out. From II) take a 17-14 lead with 14:14 left In the game on 24- yard field goal, a Tagge lo Frost pitchout went awry and again in came the Black Shirts with KU at the Ilusker 28. Four plays later, Sherwin Jarmon blocked a Bell field goal attempt from ihe 28 with 12:01 left to stop that threat. Then moments later when the Black Shirts had apparently stopped KU again and forced a punt, Alan Larson tried to field the ball in a crowd, fumbled and KU recovered at the NU 46. A a 1 in came the Black Shliis to stop this threat after it had reached the Ilusker 12, turning the a 11 over to the offense for a final effort as the clock neared the end of the line.

This time the offense responded to the task and pulled out the win with that long, delicate march downfieW. At times in the first half it appeared that Rogers, who made a field goal in five previous attempts this season, was personally going to boot Kansas out of the Big Eight race. He hit a school and Big Eight record 55-yard field goal with 5:30 left in the first half for a 3-0 Ilusker lead and came back moments later with a 46-yarder for a 6-0 lead. 55-yard boot broke his own school record of 51 yards set In last opener with Wyoming and snapped the league mark of .54 yards by Jerry Hillebrand against Okalhoma State in 1961. When the Huskers moved 57 yards in four plays midway in the second quarter for a tally and a two- point conversion for a 14-0 lead Big Red fans were thinking of a rout.

The big play in that series was a 33-yard pass from Tagge. whose 23 completions broke the NU record of 22 by Frank Patrick against Oklahoma in 1967, to Frost. But Kansas yet ready to be routed despite being on the verge of their fourth loss in five games and second in a row in conference play. The Huskers helped out when Kinney fumbled the ball to KU at the NU 18 and three plays later quarterback i Ettinger rifled a 19-yard pass to John Mosier for the score and PAT kick made it 14-7 with 4:53 left in the first half. The Jayhawks drove 62 yards the first time they got the ball in the second half wdth Ettinger scoring from one yard out and Bell tied it at 14-all with 9:45 left in the third quarter.

Nebraska came right back and drove to the KU five, but field goal attempt from the 12 was blocked by Jim Hatcher with 4:11 remaining in the third stanza. Kansas took a Dan Schneiss punt at the KU 27 late in the third quarter and Ron Jessie galloped 34 yards on the next play to put the ball at the Husker 29. Five plays later Bell kicked the goal-head field goal and things looked dark for the Huskers until they put together that final winning drive. two field goals moved him into a tie with Larry Wachholtz for career field goals at eight, Wachholtz getting his in the span while Rogers has one season and five games remaining to surpass him. The loss was the fifth by Kansas coach Pepper Rodgers in two and one-half years in the Big Eight and all five have come by the margin of four points.

(UPI) Kansas State unleashed a withering second-half attack Saturday and buried Iowa State under a 34-7 deluge in a rainy Big Eight Conference football game. Just as he did a week ago, Mack Herron scored three touchdowns. His scoring bursts against the Cyclones covered 3,16, and 3 yards.

The big play came midway through a third quarter when K-State faced a fourth-and- two situation at Iowa 16-yard line. At the time, the Wildcats led 10-7. Herron, on a wingback pitchout, skirted left end and sprinted untouched into the end zone. That gave K-State some breathing room and, miputes later, Henry Hawlhorrfe set up the clinching touchdown with a 40-yard return of Bob punt to the eight. Three plays later Herron burst into the end zone from three yards away.

Quarterback Lynn Dickey later scored the first touchdown of his career on a 23-yard option play. It was first victory over Iowa State since 1964 and widest margin of victory in this series since a 47-7 win in 1936. The Cyclones were forced to start sophomore Mike Fontanini at quarterback, but alternated Obert Tisdale, starting late in the first half. Kansas State scored twice in the first quarter. The Wildcats took advantage of a fumble recovery by Jim Dukelow on Iowa 14.

Five plays later, Herron cracked over from the three. A rough ing-the-kicker penalty gave K-State another chance at the end of the quarter and Arreguin kicked his 53-yarder, setting a school record. Like K-State, Iowa State grabbed its chance when Tom Elliott wrapped himself around a fumble at the 17 in the second quarter. Fontanini sprinted around end for 16 yards, then scored from the one on a quarterback sneak. Iowa Slate 0 7 0 Kansas State .................10 0 14 K.

Oklahoma jumped to a 28-9 lead in the second quarter, then withstood a furious Colorado rally to escape with a 42-30 Big Eight Conference football victory Saturday. A near-capacity crowd of 60,450 saw Colorado battle back to trail only 35-30 when Bob Anderson circled right end and raced 17 yards to score with 2:37 to play. The Buffs tried an onside kick, hoping to regain possession and have a shot at the winning touchdowm. The ball bounced crazily through receiving unit until the Lonnie Johnson fell on it at the 31 only a split second ahead of the Buffs.

Oklahoma then marched the 69 yards in nine plays, Steve bwens scoring his fourth touchdown of the day from one yard out on the last play of the game.

A play was sent in from the bench, and Owens wheeled 17 yards around left end to pass the century mark again. The game was billed as an individual duel between Owens and Anderson, and the two superstars lived up to their advance publicity. Owens wound up with 112 rushing yards in 28 carries in addition to his four touchdowns. He also completed a pass for 16 yards. Anderson gained 123 yards in 26 tries and scored three touchdowns.

A pair of unheralded performers, Oklahoma's Roy Beil and Colorado quarterback Jim a 11 also provided fireworks.
