Missouri wanted to stop Jerry Brown. They did a pretty good job of it.

But they weren't ready for Nebraska's passes and five completions four of them in the last drive produced Nebraska's big win of the year. While the defeat was a crusher to Missouri, it did not eliminate the Tigers from Orange Bowl contention. They still can make the Miami jaunt by beating Colorado and Kansas. Big Reward And while the Cornhuskers can't go to Miami, they couldn't have won a more satisfying or rewarding victory. Next week it's Kansas at Lawrence and another tough battle.

But the Huskers are ready now. They have found out that Pete Elliott's statement that the team that wants to win the most in the second half is the best team, is so very true. His Excellency, Esat Budakglu, ish author and lecturer who also witnessed his first football game as a guest of the University Saturday afternoon. At halftime, Jackson said, "I don't understand a thing about it, but the trimming is the Jackson broke off the interview to watch the Missouri and Nebraska bands move onto the playing field. "Who are those chaps? he asked, "they look just like Victorian armies." It was explained that the groups were bands from the two competing universities, and that they would march into formations of letters or other symbols.

"That's what 1 mean," Jackson said, "the trimmings are the best." "You know, those girls (cheerleaders) out there in the short dresses look just like ostriches the very effective," the Britisher added. Jackson turned back to look at the bands. "Who is that chap out there dressed up like a palace guard?" The "chap" proved to be a drum major. When asked to compare football with English rugby, Jackson said: "In the first instance, the competitors don't go back and congregate in little groups every time a man falls down in rugby." "In rugby, we don't wear helmets, and all that padding, and we also dont have spare teams to throw into the fray." At this moment Jackson broke off the Interview and headed for the balcony to take pictures of the bands, teams and card sections. "That's what I like," he aaid in parting, "the trimmings a 1 1 Turkish minister of agriculture who is on an eight day visit to the University, said that the corn football equalled tfMCw peting spirit of was familiar with.

Turkish colleges participate in intermural sports, "Safari we see, the Tigers will flee" winning sorority competition was Alpha Cbi Omega. Budakglu said that the major sport of his country was soccer, but that it wasn't staged with as much pageantry as football at American colleges seemed to be. The pageantry impressed another visitor, G. Colin Jackson, Brit Brown, Nappi and Larry Naviaux ground out precious feet and Brown finally hurdled over from about a foot out. Naviaux missed the extra point.

Missouri, a talented band with Hunter a deadly threat, got a drive going near the end of the first pe riod. The Huskers finally stiffened and took over the ball on the 11 yard line. A booming tackle by Brown on Hank Kuhlmann, one that meant a 12 yard loss, was the decider. But Mizzou had the offensive punch. Guided skillfully by Hunter, the Tiger moved 53 yards in 12 plays and scored late in the first half with Fullback George Cramer bocming over from three yards out.

Chuck Rash kicked the extra point and Missouri held a 7 6 half time margin. Nebraska's heart was ready in the second half. There were to be no letdowns this sunny Homecoming. Forcing a Tiger punt, Nebraska drove toward the Tiger goal. Greenlaw playing his best game of the year romped for 8 and Nappi swept the opposite side for 13.

Brown picked up the load and got 10 in two plays. There the drive bogged down with a fumble on the third down. 33 Yarder In went the kicking tee and Harshman tried a field goal from the 30 yard line with Greenlaw holding. The baU flew true and it was a 33 yard field goal, crediting 10 yards to the goal posts plus the scrimmage line which was the 23 yard line. Then Nebraska had to dig in.

One Tiger drive was stopped by Dick McCashland's fumble recovery. But as the third quarter wore on Missouri pounded goalward. Sonny Stringer and Hunter led the way and as the third period ended Missouri was on the Husker 32. It looked black for the home boys. And it was.

Hunter passed 22 yards to End Larry Plumb. A penalty stalled things temporarily but Tiger power carried to the goal and Cramer cracked over with his second touchdown from a yard out and Rash kicked the point to make it 14 9. Over 10 minutes remained but Nebraska didn't seem to have the spark. Harshman saved the day once vhen he fielded a bad pass from center and managed to get off a 40 yard punt from the Husker goal line when it appeared he was trapped for sure. But Nebraska saved the best for later They had this second half desire Pete Elliott has been striv ing for.
