This was the week the Nebraska football schedule was to get tougher. Those who do nothing but read the final Nebraska 41, Oklahoma State 13 score and compare it with the 36-0 and 55-0 triumphs the past two weeks over Missouri and Kansas, respectively, will figure it did. But the 37,000 at Lewis Stadium here know differently except for the first 12 minutes while the NU offense was getting untracked and for the final two minutes when the Cowboys with their No. 1 offense still in the game scored their 13 points against the No.

2 defensive units. In the other 46 minutes, the No. 1-ranked Huskers completely dominated the Cowpokes, who came into the contest with a 3-1-1 record, oulscoring them 41-0. And the guy, who simply reads final scores in his Sunday paper know how great the Nebraska Black Shirt defensive unit was once again. The statistics in the paper will show Oklahoma State with 209 total yards, 100 rushing and 109 passing.

But what those statistics show is that when the Black Shirts became spectators, they had given up only 23 yards rushing and 49 passing in three quarters of action. Leaders in that defensive supremacy were end Willie Harper with nine tackles, four of them for losses totaling 16 yards, middle guard Rich Glover and tackles Bill Janssen and Larry Jacobson. And when the big defensive play was needed, Jim Anderson with two pass interceptions, Dave Mason with one pass theft, Gary Hollstein with one and Bill Kosch with a fumble recovery were there. Mason turned his pass interception into a 27-yard touchdown gallop, the Read in Sporti fhm Sport ut SPOHTREP SECTiOX 10 PAGES LINCOLN, NEBRASKA 24, 1971, PAGE 1 second score of the game with 10:47 left in the second quarter. fumble recovery came at the Husker 30 after Mason had jarred the ball loose from the grasp of Oklahoma Dick Graham and NU drove 70 yards in 10 plays for a 34-0 count with 3:51 left in the third quarter.

The supremacy of the Husker Black Shirts was so marked that the Cowboys came up with only three first downs in the first half, one of them on a pass interference call, while being held to 14 yards rushing and 19 passing. And in that first half, OSU quarterback Tony Pounds, who was playing without the normal relief help from sophomore Brent Blackman, who went to a Stillwater hospital, for an appendectomy just before the game started, completed just two of 12 passes to Cowboy teammates. He completed three to Nebraska defenders. The superb job turned in by the Black Shirts gave their offensive mates time to figure out an 0-State defense that was causing them trouble in the early going, stopping them on the first three possessions. But when the NU offense poked the first hole in the dike, the touchdowns began to flow in typical Husker fashion on steady drives and on big plays.

The biggest of the big plays came with the score at 34-0 and was a play Husker fans had been waiting for all year and which head coach Bob Devancy Continued on Page 3C, Col. 1 Cowboys Corraled First Quarter Time NU as Left 60 Kinney, 25 run 1:33 70 Sanger, placement Second Quarter 13 0 Mason, 27 pass interception 10:47 11 0 Sanger, placement 20 0 Li.st, 42 pass from Tagge 6:30 210 Sanger, placement Third Quarter 270 Kinney, 12 run 9:25 33 Rodgers, 6 pass from Tagge 3:51 34 0 Sanger, placement Fourth Quarter 400 Rodgers, 92 punt return 14:06 410 Sanger, placement 41 6 Heilman. 1 run 1:52 41 7 Clapp, placement 4113 Elliott, 21 run 1:16 According to Nebraska coach Bob Devaney, Jerrv List had his best day.

The duo teamed up for touchdown passes of 70 and 21 yards as the Plainsmen rallied from a 13-7 deficit at Magee Stadium. Undefeated NWU is now 7-0, the best record in 60 years for the school.
