Y. (AP) Kingsley B'iaik, a second-string sophomore quarterback, fired three touchdown passes in the second hall Saturday and rallied rebounding Army to a 22-6 football victory over error- platgued Missouri. It was second triumph in three games, one more than the Cadets W'on all last season. Mi.s&onri is 1-3.

Army, which failed to capitilize on three fumble recoveries and an interception in the first half and trailed 6-3, finally broke through early in the third period after Gary recovered Otto fumble at the Missouri 45. Eight plays later, who replaced Dick Atha midway in the second period, s.idesteipped John rus'h on third down and whipped a 15-yard pass to Dave Sanders in the end zone. Atha had failed to complete a pass in nine attempts. Army got the bafl back two minutes later when Mike Gainers returned a punt 11 yards to the 46.

The Cadets went 50 yards in eight pla-ys for their third touchdown with 10 minutes left in the The big gainer was a 25-yard pass from Fink to Ed Francis to the 22. Once again, faced with a third down, Fink fired six yards to Bruce Simpson who made the catch as he fell across the goal line. A 56-yard run by quarterbai Chuck Roper early in the se- cHind period'gave Missouri a 6-3 half-time lead after Jim Barclay kicked a 40-yard field goal for Army in the first quarter. An enthusiastic record Stadium crowd of 43,503 fired up by upset of Georgia Tech a week ago, saw the Cadets foil one Missouri threat after another. Early in the game.

Jack Bastable fumbled at the Army 33 and Merce Ferguson recovered.

Boulder, Colo. is a fine team, but they have said Colorado Coach Eddie Crowder following his 31-21 victory over Kansas State Saturday. tougher than gangbusters on defense, but we have a few more elements, a few more strengths, that they It allowed us to One of those strengths is Cliff Branch. But, then, who else has a Cliff Branch?

because I know whether drop it or score a Crowder was pleased with the CU defense, tough times, our defense cut them off and forced them to he One of those tough times w'as in the waning seconds of the first half, after Branch had dropped a punt and turned the hall over to Kansas State at the Buff 49-yard line. The CU defense rose up with its back to the wall and repelled the Wildcats four times side the 3. The previous weekend, Colorado stopped Ohio State three times inside- the 6 before whipping the Buckeyes, 20-14. showed what got, being down and coming back the way they said K-State Coach 'Vince Gibson. Davis was stopped inside, but they came back with the pass to beat us.

the mark of a good football Gibson said he thought a key to the outcome of the contest was an injury to defensive back Johnny Robertson, who was hurt making the only interception early in the first period. kept picking on the kid substitute Terry Brown and it really hurt he said. Kansas State bounced back from first score, capitalizing on a Buff fumble at the CU 20-yard line with 7:07 left in the first period. On the sixth play of the series, Wildcat running back Bill Butler carried four yards for the tying score. CU turned a fumble into a score of its own early in the second period when linebacker Randy Geist pounced on the ball at the Wildcat 19.

The Buffs hit the scoreboard on tailback Charlie plunge from one foot out. Wildcat quarterback Dennis Morrison nwved his team to two third period scores and a brief 21-17 lead. He scored on a keeper around the left side from 12 yards out for the first, then hit flanker Fred Merrill on a 16-yard pass for the second.

A small barrage of oranges pelted down from the north stands. Nothing new, but maybe premature with seven Big Eight games on the horizon. Rich Sanger hit the first of six straight conversion kicks and Nebraska enjoyed a 7-0 lead.

The defense dug in, held the Aggies to zero yardage in three plays and got the ball back to the offense at the Nebraska 48. one point where something new almost happened. Tagge dropped back, spotted tight end Jerry List barrelling full speed ahead with no Aggies in the vicinity and pitchtHl a strike.

Tagge then found a gaping hole over the right side and was stopped only becau.se he ran into his right guard, Keith Wortman, at the six. Gary Dixon got three tough yards in two assaults at the surprisingly tough interior defense of the Aggies, then Tagge faked to Dixon and walked three yeards into the end zone as the defense converged on the I-back. It was 14-0 at the quarter and quickly 21-0 in the second period just when the Aggies looked like play it tough.

Adams launched a pass from midfield to split end Bob Wicks and the all-America candidate haul it in. It bounced out of his hands into Dave and the Cornhusker monster back romped 53 yards for a touchdown. Penalties plagued the Cornhusker attack the rest of the half, however, and it took a 13-play, 69-yard march at the outset of the second half to assure the home folks that the offense had indeed shaken the miserie.s it had experienced a week earlier. The drive which opened the half was a hammer and tongs affair. The longest play was an ll-yard Tagge to Kinney pass, the only aerial attempt on the march.

Dixon displayed some tough inside running ability with 23 yards in four carries after the Cornhuskers had reached the Aggie 36 and Tagge the final yard. The invaders, apparently on the ropes ai thbd and nine from their own 27 a few seconds discovered a new way to move the ball. Adams handed to fullback Ed Giles on a draw play and he careened 34 yards through the right side of the Nebraska defense to the Nebraska 39. Then Adams sailed a pass into the left corner for Wicks, who hauled it in near the 10 and zig-zagged between Jim Anderson and Bill Kosch for the touchdown. Mickey kick sailed wide and margin was 28-6 with 7:19 left in the period.

It was time to go to Hodgtrs. A fake into the line froze the secondary momentarily as Rodgers was streaking down and out to the right corner. Tagge drilled home a strike to the five and Rodgers waltzed into the end zone. It was his fifth TD catch ot the season and 12tli of his career.

The Minnesota Gophers, bringing the Big four-year domination of Big Ten football teams to a sudden end, battered the Kansas Jayhawks 3820 Saturday with an awesome rushing attack engineered by quarterback Craig Curry. Curry picked up 107 yards in 15 carries, ran for touchdowns of 4 and 17 yards andi passed for 29 yards to (Teorge Honza for a third touchdown. The senior quarterback, who completed 9-12 passes for 115 yards, also set up the two other three-yard run by Ernie Cook and a two-yard drive by Jim Henry.

Kansas fullback Steve Conley leaped into the end zone from one yard out in the first period, blasted 26 yards in the third and ran in from one yard out late in the fourth period for the Jayhawks. Mel Anderson of the Gophers was five for five on conversion kicks and added a 35-yard field goal as Minnesota evened its record at 2-2 and dropped Kansas to 2-2. The Gophers turned the trick again by rushing for more than 300 yands against a Kansas defense that had allowed only 300 on the ground in its previous three games.

Van Brown.son, who had engineered one of tlie penalty-plagued drives at the end of the first half, then replaced Tagge. His opening series went nowhere as he was thrown for a seven-yard loss on third and five. The next time was different as Brownson proved he still has point-producing power. Van, with enough first stringers accompanying him to assure success, engineered a nine-play, 69-yard drive. Brownson opened and closed the drive with passes, the first being a 17-yard completion to Rodgers.

Seven running plays moved the ball to the 22 and Brownson collaborated with reserve split end Frosty Anderson for the final touchdown. diving reception just inside the back line of the end zone was his first varsity catch.
