Sluggish Huskers Bow. 10-6 By DICK BECKER Sunday Sports Staff Bobby Reynolds returned to the Cornhusker lineup Saturday but it turned out to be a sad day for the Nebraskans. Even with the Grand Island All-American back in running form the Huskers to Missouri, 10-6, as 39,000 fans dejectedly a brilliant Missouri defensive club in action. This was a Nebraska club playing nearly as poorly as they did well last week against Colorado. A disappointing inability to take advantage of numerous breaks shoved Coach Bill Huskers down, the ladder in the Big Seven Conference and left the unheralded Tigers perched atop the field with three straight victories.

Only a desperation heave with just six seconds left in the ball game got the Huskers into the scoring column and the touchdown was too late and highly insufficient as far as the Husker backers were concerned. Meanwhile, the Tigers carried the fight to the Huskers, outplaying them at their own THE FEARED letdown that Glassiord warned of early in the week was very much in evidence as the Scarlet offense sputtered most of the afternoon, even with Reynolds in the lineup. It appeared, however, that Reynolds was operating under orders to carry the hall only sparingly. Late in the Johnny Bordogna on the bench after being shaken ran the Husker spread but passed up several opportunities to run the hall. He netted only four yards on five tries for the day.

Bordogna came into the fray with only a few seconds remaining. He did a remarkable job of keeping his feet as he faded back to pass. Finally he spotted Andy Loehr well behind the Tiger secondary and let loose a towering heave that Loehr fielded on the Missouri 6-yard line. Lehr took one step and w'as hit by Bob Schoonmaker on the Reynolds Back in Lineup 4-yard line. Loehr, however, bounced on top of Schoonmaker and into the end zone for the lone Husker tally.

The play covered 64 yards and came with just six seconds remaining. Reynolds missed the extra point try. George Prochaska kicked an onside kickoff Lordo fumbled it. George Gohde fell on it on the Missouri 47. There was just time for one play and Bordogna went back to pass.

He was swarmed under by Tigers on the midfield stripe as the gun went off ending the game. MISSOURI, playing the defensive role to the hilt, took advantage of the Husker miscucs to score with its defensive club. Nebraska was able to use its ball control well in the third quarter after the clubs hact battled on even terms in the scoreless first half The Huskers ran 28 plays to 10 for Missouri in tne third period but one mistake spoiled everything. With 1:16 remaining in the third period Nebraska took over after a Tiger punt on the Husker 31. Bordogna, running the split swung to the left and then pitched out to Fullback Ray Novak.

The ball hit Novak on the arm and bounced into the air. Little Ed MeiTificld, a particular thorn in the Husker side all afternoon, dashed in from his safety position and grabbed the ball on the fly on the Nebraska 30. He sped into the northeast end zone for a touchdown as the Huskers stood by in amazement after they had threatened to score all during the third period. Big Paul Fuchs, a dqfonsive tackle, booted the extra point. THIS EASY touchdown seemed to spark the Tigers and they held the Huskers before Reynolds booted a quick kick over the end zone.

The kick was good for 70 yards to the end zone hut the Tigers got it on their 20-yard line. l.cd by Bill Rowokamp, the transfer from and Hook, the Tigers moved up the field to the Nebraska 7-yard line. An offside penalty set the ball back to the 12 on fourth down and Fuchs, the defensive wizard, came bark into the fray. He booted a perfect placement from tlie 20-yard line and Missouri had a neat 10-0 lead with eight and a half minutes remaining. THE HUSKERS destined to rally this gray day.

Hob Bauman picked off a stray Bordogna aerial on the Husker 31 and it W'as all the Nebraska defenders eould do to halt the Tigers on the 18 and start a drive of their own. Bordogna hit Bob Smith for 27 yards and ran for 13 yards on two off the spread he was hurt. Reynolds took over and tossed to Emil Hadik for 23 yards to the Tiger 19 but a IS-yanl penalty fur having an ineligible receiver downfield ruined the hid, NEBRASKA spent most of the third period in Tiger territory but could never muster the necessary scoring punch. The Huskers got to the Tiger 12, 13, 14 and 17 but do business. Defensively the Huskers were nearly the match of the Tigers and the defenders gave the offensive unit plenty of opportunities.

When Bill Thayer returned the opening kickoff in the third poriixl 6.1 yards to the Missouri 25 it looked like the Huskers had found the spark at halftime. But that drive stalled on the 14-yard line. A moment latter Denny Emanuel covered a fumble by Rowekamp on the Missouri 36 but the Huskers make a thing. Nick fumbled as soon as the Tigers got the ball and this time Carl Brasee was there to get the ball for Nebraska. This time the Scarlet gridders carried to the 12 but a fake Statue of Liberty play, ending up in a pass from George Cifra to Smith, netted only eight yards and the Tigers the masters again.

Bill Kessler kicked out of trouble for Missouri but the ball was partially blocked by Bill Schabacker and the Huskers got it on the Tiger 40. Nebraska moved to the 22 before losing the ball on dowms. Only a yard separated the Huskers trom a touchdown as Reynold.s wanit high into the air to snare pass but he was out of the end zone and crasheil into tho snow fence surrounding the field. NEITHER team could score in the first half although both clubs had opportunities. The appearance of Reynolds with 2:48 left in the first half cheered the crowd but faded to spark the Huskers up and they lost the ball on the Missouri 24 when pass was batted into the air and intercepted by Mernficld.
