Into the record books goes a titantic 15 14 triumph over the Orange Bowl conscious Missouri Tigers a monumental tribute to Coach Pete Elliott's gang of neversay die scrappers. Not soon forgotten will be this one point epic, a game that saw the Cornhuskers produce a horde of heroes in as thrill packed a game as Memorial Stadium has ever seen. The 35,000 Homecoming fans, uniragSiiurnal antiwar safari ilr'JTvA ELIffla iatfP fats! dying every minute of the way with the not to be denied Corn huskers, saw a 78 yard drive in the final five minutes.

A drive that would not be stopped. Maine Halfbacks And with the chips down Ne braska called on its Portland, halfbacks for the do or die attempt. Here was the picture: Fourth down and 16 yards to go on the Missouri 25 yard line. The ball was given to Willie Greenlaw as he moved to the left. Willie looked around and spotted his buddy Frank Nappi at the goal line.

There were Tigers there, too. But Willie fired a left handed strike and Nappi made a near impossible catch as he fell across the goal line. The score board lit up Nebraska 15, Missouri 14. Hardly any one was watching as Quarterback George Harshman missed the extra point. It didn't mean a thing.

Longest Period There was just 1:48 left to play. But it was to be the longest period in the Huskers' lives. Jimmy Hunter, a magician with a football, took to the air and riddled the Cornhusker defenses. And the sluggish clock refused to pick up steam. Down the field marched the Tigers.

Hunter completed three passes. The Tigers passed and ran to the Nebraska 26 yard line.

The Sooners scored in the final period on an 18 yard Harris to Thomas pass, ending a 70 yard drive. Colorado's line simply outfought the touted Oklahoma forVard wall in the surprising first half, stopping two strong drives late in the second period and ripping out big holes for the backs to race through. Colorado applied the pressure right from the start when guard John Wooten blocked fullback Billy Pricer's third down quick kick on the Oklahoma 9. Fullback John Bayuk recovered the ball in the Oklahoma end zone for a touchdown, with only 3:49 gone.

CIAV ClaliJI AW afw rw only extra point. Oklahoma came back strong, relying mainly on Coach Bud Wilkinson's famed quick openers for a 64 yard touchdown advance. McDonald scored on a 35 yard pass from Harris, who missed the extra point. It was in the second period that Colorado showed it might be able going and Halfback Howard Cook apparently had the first down around the Oklahoma 40. But we got a holding penalty on the play which killed us.

We were ahead 19 13 at the time and I felt we were moving until that penalty. "We have no alibis, our kids were simply tremendous out there but Oklahoma simply beat us. They have a great team but they don't have a bit more spirit than our guys." Colorado Halfback Eddie Dove, who suffered a broken nose, said in referring to the Oklahoma play ers, "there sure were a lot of them and they sure were tough." Oklahoma Halfback Tommy Mc Donald said, "if Colorado doesn't go to the Orange Bowl it will be a crime." Jerry Tubbs, Oklahoma's All America candidate for center, said "overall Colorado has a great team." Colorado End Wally Merz said the Sooners were "tough but they weren't supermen. 1 think our first team was as good as theirs to Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was a staggering blow to Stanford's Rose Bowl hopes. The Indians were undefeated in conference play until Saturday.

By losing they surrendered the feat. The Indians have a 3 1 record so far. The Bruins engineered the surprising triumph with a defensive attack that wrecked Stanford's feared aerial game when it counted. UCLA, a two touchdown underdog, piled up all of its points in the opening minutes of play with the aid of two breaks. The Bruins recovered a Stanford fumble on the Indian 20, and five plays later Edison Griffin rounded right end for four yards and a touchdown.

Minutes later, UCLA End Hal Smith blocked a punt by Stanford's John Brodie. Bruin End Pete O'Garro plucked the ball out of the air on the Stanford 42 and ambled to a touchdown. Brodie, who had little luck trying to dodge the fast charging Bruin linemen, was benched in the second period in favor of Quarterback Jack Douglas, who led the Indians on their first scoring drive. After a campaign from the Bruin 40, Fullback Lou Valli hit right tackle for three yards and a Stanford touchdown. Brodie took over again in the third quarter and tossed a 21 yard pass to Halfback Mike Rafftery for the second Stanford score, but Don Shinnick, the standout performer of the day, blocked Raff tery's conversion attempt to give UCLA the margin of victory.
