That similarity was a field goal.

But there the comparison ends. This day the Cornhuskers were to feel the painful experience of losing by three points. This day there were no flukes to aid the opposition. Underdog's Day By DON BRYANT Staff Sports Writer It was a dark day at Memorial Stadium Saturday. While heavy clouds cast an ominous hue over the proceedings there, the Kansas State Wildcats fought desperately through tie gloom to chop down the Nebraska Cornhuskers, 10 7 before 24,000 fans, smallest KU crowd in 10 years.

There was a similarity to the Huskers' game with Iowa State times this fall the Wildcats had gone forth into battle and three times they had been shellacked. Only last week, Oklahoma battered them 66 0. The week before Colorado did the same, 34 0. This had to be their day and they made the most of their opportunities, some gained by their own efforts and many supplied by the listless Cornhuskers. Crosse's Win The actual victory was supplied by Halfback Ben Grosse, who booted a 35 yard field goal with 3:55 left in the third quarter.

Gross e's kick, helped on its way by a whistling pound halfback who serves as co captain of the Wildcats. Twice he leaped high in the air to make miraculous interceptions as the Huskers took to the air in an attempt to pull the contest out. Huskers Take Over With about five minutes left in the final quarter Nebraska took over on downs on their own 31. A minute later Nesmith pirated Larry Naviaux's pass on the State 41, near the East sidelines. There, what fight the Huskers had left was spent and the Wildcats marched to the Nebraska 15 before Pete Elliott's battered forces could stop them.

But when the Huskers regained the ball only 45 seconds remained in the bitterly contested game. Gimpy Willie Greenlaw gave the home crowd one more of its few chances to cheer when he took a pitchout and slithered to the Nebraska 40. Jerry Wheeler doubled up in pain as the clock showed seven seconds left. His injury gave Nebraska a timeout and a one in 'a i 1 1 i chance. Play Stopped The Huskers never got the play off and the Wildcats swarmed their Oklahoma's Twin Phantoms Rope Texas Longhorns, 45 0 Yawning hole opens trip to score.

Pt? 4 ffrJAf IHf ter. It was all the margin the battling Wildcats needed as they stub bornly resisted the nitrated Corn, huskers and capitalized on the lat ters frequent miscues. One Wildcat stood head and shoulders above the other 21 play ers on the field during the final half as Kansas State fought sav agely to protect their chance for glory and the Huskers sought a break or weak spot to attack. He was Kenny Nesmith, 184 47 yard run nullified by a penalty. Thomas was almost as spectacular as he raced for 123 yards in 13 carries.

A crowd of 75,504 watched the Big Red plow a fighting but futile Longhorn team under with one of the most awesome running games the Cotton Bowl ever saw. It was futile to Texas, so futile that one of the Longhoms Robert E. Lee, a guard took a poke at Dale Sherrod, Sooner reserve quarterback, as time was running out. They wrestled around without damage. Back in 1908 Oklahoma beat Texas 50 0 for the worst defeat of all time.

Saturday's Oklahoma victory was the fifth straight over the Longhoms. It woulq have been higher but the Sooners committed nine fumbles and lost four, three of which halted drives. One touch down a 63 yard dash by Jay O'Neal, Sooner quarterback was wiped out when it was found that the ball had been whistled dead. Oklahoma rolled up a massive 369 yards on the ground to a piti ful 74 for Texas and passed for 133 compared to 114 for the Long horns. Cerv Going To Athletics? Bob Cerv, New York Yankee outfielder and a resident of Lincoln, will be sold to the Kansas City Athletics within a week.

Cerv has been with New York for several seasons but has only been used sparingly.

Dejectedly, the Huskers trouped to their quarters, their hoDes of victorv and mavbe even 1 Granges sadlv deflated. Nesmith, who led the Wildcat ball carriers by gaining 47 yards, also saved the bacon in the third quarter. After the Huskers recovered a fumble on the Wildcat ,35, the speedy halfback took the wind out of the Big Red's sails with an interception of Naviaux's third down aerial on the State 10.

That was all Kansas State need ed. When First Team Quarterback Keith Wilson went out of the game on injuries a few plays earlier, Alternate Dick Corbin took over. And after Nesmith's interception. Corbin running the option play with finesse unfamiliar to the Husker backfield guided the Wildcats up field. In nine plays including a 19 yard pass from Corbin to End Jim Luzinski and a 16 yard romp by Gene Keady the visitors were faced with a fourth down on the Nebraska 25.

Grosse was rushed into the game and kicked the winning field goal. What Happened What happened to the Cornhuskers after the first five minutes may never be known. Elliott, his assistants and the Huskers them selves will be seeking the answer for a long time to come. But it was one of the most complete and rapid transformations seen for quite a spell. The Huskers took the opening kickoff and 4:53 seconds later they led 7 0.
