But the Iowa State squad had no intention of giving up easily. Three plays into the line had about as much success for the Huskers as ramming into a concrete wall.

cut at tne last second, he got the ball down and Harshman did the rest, kicking it far and true for three points and victory. "Boy, I thought I'd never get that ball down," George said in the dressing room after the game. "It was a good pass from center, but I caught it wrong and I had to change my hands around after I got it down. That's just too close." Coach Pete Elliott said that George was used to hold the ball "because he has worked with Harshman a lot in practice." The backfield for the Huskers at the time of the dramatic field goal also included Gordon Englert and Frank Nappi, both of whom did a fine job of blocking while George was getting the ball just right for Harshman. Englert was fired into the game in place of Roy Stinnett who had been injured a minute earlier.

A last ditch field goal, held by a fellow that was not supposed to play and with two substitutes doing the blocking. They'll be talking about that for a long time. iff lcfl Erskina The re Talking About Harshman Puts Kick Into Big 7 Thriller Football Big Seven NEBRASKA 9 State 7 Colorado 26 Kansas 25 Oklahoma 66 Kansas State 0 SMU 33 Missouri 27 Big Ten Washington 28 Illinois 13 Michigan State 9 Michigan 0 Notre Dame 20 Indiana 6 Minnesota 21 Purdue 14 Ohio State 32 Stanford 20 Southern Cal 13 Wisconsin 6 Iowa 14 Oregon State 13 Tulane 20 Northwestern 13 State College Peru 51 Chadron 25 Hastings 25 0 Kearney 26 Midland 0 Omaha 27 Ambrose (la.) 19 Scottsbluff JC 14 Norfolk JC 13 Other Baylor 14 Maryland 0 Army 14 Penn State 7 COP 21 Cincinnati 15 Navy 14 Cornell 0 Tennessee 33 Duke 20 Kentucky 17 Florida 8 Virginia 7 Wake Forest 6 So.

Jimmy Wulff took over after a Michigan fumble early in the fourth period and Mendyk went the final 6 yards for the only touchdown of the contest. Matsko missed the conversion but it didn't matter then as the third period field goal by the 185 pound, two time letterman from St. Michael, already had shaken the Rose Bowl champions out of their first half doldrums. Until his field goal, the Spartans had been pushed from one end of the rain spattered turf to the other. Still, the Wolverines showed a surprisingly strong passing game but never could muster a scoring punch.

The Spartans became a bristling, opportunity minded crew after Matsko's placement and took control of the contest witnessed by the largest crowd ever to see a football game in Michigan. The aroused Michigan State line crashed through the veteran studded Michigan line and time after time forced the Wolverines into a batch of second half, mistakes. Held to "a meager 51 yards in the first half, Michigan State shot back to claim its first victory in three seasons in this backyard series that gave Coach Duffy Daugherty his first triumph over a Michigan team.

These were the things 30,000 football fans were talking about when they filed out of Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon after seeing the Nebraska Comhuskers edge Iowa State, 9 7. Harshman, a junior from Dickerson Run, was the fellow who won the Order of the Hero because it was his kick that provided the margin of victory. But certainly the title of Sub Hero belongs to a boy that wasn't supposed to play Saturday.

He was Leo George, alternate back who was injured against Ohio State. It was George who was assigned to hold the ball for the Huskers' do or die effort. Prior to the game Coach Pete El 1 i 1 1 had said George had only "an outside chance" of playing. It was also George who gave the fans one moment of tense excitement they'll never forget.
