"The Nebraska passing game is so precise that very difficult to stop them all the time If we could have passed in the second half we could have moved more consistently But their secondary is the very best around and they just shut us off" And that is the way it goes when you win a one-pointer and lose by one if it is Missouri vs Nebraska in a collegiate football thriller think anybody would have done the same Onofrio said of the 2-pointer that stage you go for two I know I would have done the same thing A tie proves nothing But if it was the end of the year and it meant the conference championship But that was not his theme "The defense is to be congratulated They made a lot of mistakes but they contained and stopped Nebraska when they had toon that blocked field goal and the 2-point try" He first rated the victory as the biggest in his coaching days but qualified it by explaining that beating Notre Dame last year the week after Nebraska humiliated MU 62-0 was under different circumstances But this one was equally as great "Our kicking game was a big plus It made all the difference All aspects of the kicking game were A1 said Tom Osborne Nebraska coach said had to go for two points with the amount of time left With three or four minutes left we would have kicked it But even so you can always second-guess yourself If I had it to do over I would have called a timeout and thought about two or three other possible plays "The play that we used was the same one we used before to Shamblin (Dave) where defense left Tony MU's Bybee Injures Back Bv The Star' Own Service Columbia Ray Bybee starting fullback for the Missouri Tigers left the game yesterday with Nebraska because of a severely bruised back Bybee was to undergo examination yesterday in Columbia the Nebraska board of regents who courteously came in to congratulate him and merit his praise Onofrio could not praise the Huskers or David Humm their quarterback enough Tremendous hard hitting great These were frequently tossed around to describe the Huskers Of the Tigers he said have got to feel this (victory) will help us We still have many areas to improve in But not going to worry about that today" So the gang-tackling swarming hitting inspired Tigers a typical Missouri bunch of swashbucklers playing great defense to those with memories of other great MU football beat Ne-b a a when the Huskers went for broke with 1:00 on the clock and misfired on the 2-point play that would have meant victory Utah State Erupts Fort Collins Colo Jerry Cox awakened a slumbering offense for three touchdown runs and the Utah State defense intercepted four passes and recovered three fumbles as the Aggies defeated Colorado State 34-18r in a nonconference football game yesterday Aaron Picks New York Hogs Clip Baylor 713 career home runs one behind Babe record Aaron who was in Oakland to toss out the first ball at the first game of the Series yesterday also said the outcome will depend on whose bullpen comes through thing that made the difference for the Mets was Tug McGraw" said Aaron got knocked all over the place in the first half of the season but he was unhittable in the second i finally made another World Series even if it only involves throwing out the first Aaron said proud of that though and going to throw it just like an oldtim-er bounce it to Atlanta Hank Aaron said yesterday he expects the New York Mets to defeat the Oakland in World Series think this is going to be a series and I have a feeling the star is going to turn out to be Jerry Koosman of the Aaron said in an article published by the Atlanta Constitution think lefthanders can give Oakland trouble and Koosman in my opinion is one of the best lefthanders in the National League I know he gives me a lot of said Aaron who closed the regular season with passes for 342 yards including 15-of-l7 in the first half when Baylor compiled an amazing 353 yards in total offense but got only 7 points Morton sped 68 yards for a first quarter touchdown and 81 yards his longest run ever from scrimmage for a second quarter score to give Arkansas a 13-7 half-time lead which stood up Gary Lacy scored only touchdown on a 7-yard run climaxing an 80-yard drive Baylor lost possible scores on fumbles at the Arkansas 10 and 20-yard lines and Don 40 yard field goal attempt hit the cross bar and bounced back as the first half ended Waco Tex (AP) Dickey Morton of Arkansas raced for two long-distance touchdowns and piled up 271 yards rushing as the Razorbacks defeated Baylor 13-7 in Southwest Conference football last night The rushing total by the 175-pound Dallas senior was the second best in Southwest Conference history trailing the 297 yards gained by Texas Bob Smith against SMU in 1950 Two late interceptions by Rollen Smith in the end zone and Bo Busby near midfield ruined a spectacular pasing performance by Neal Jeffrey 1 Jeffrey completed 23 of-36 Heavy Traffic A hole closes quickly for Tommy Reamon of Missouri as the senior tailback strikes through the heart of the Nebraska defensive line for a short gain in the third quarter Reamon whB has rushed for more than 100 yards in MU games was held to 69 yesterday Closing the gap are Mark Heydorff (22) and Bob Thornton (17) for NU Another Longest Day Drains Fambrough a lot out of me This game reminded me a lot of the Tennessee game Today we got the hot hand and won We made our breaks in the late going both times just that today it went our What was thinking on the drive to victory? Field goal perhaps? was just thinking he said I want to do anything that would cost us the ball I want to throw down there Then that draw play and the 15-yard penalty against them put us in better Fambrough has little time to recover before thinking about taking on Nebraska in Lincoln Saturday just goes to show you that they can be he said referring to the 13-12 setback by Missouri my policy remains the same We will enjoy this win until 8 tomorrow (Sunday) morning and then worry about By Del Black A Member of the Sports Staff Lawrence Coach Don Fambrough finally admitted yesterday that he had a long tough week preparing his Kansas football team to play Kansas State After watching his Jayhawks pull out a come-from-b i 25-18 victory Fambrough looked as if the 3-hour game had lasted three weeks He was drained physically and emotionally He answered questions in short sentences Bet ween questions in the tomb-like coaching quarters a wiped away heavy perspiration He slumped in his chair Finally he grasped a question which he could key his answers noting the fumble recovery that set up the winning touchdown in the waning minutes "I certainly would have settled few a one-point victory because I knew it would be that kind of Fambrough said know what to say I really have nothing but praise for that Kansas State football team Kansas and Kansas State are 7-8 in this conference then this is one helluva conference And we might finish that way too "Kansas State was well-prepared and they came to play They have a tremendous offensive line No one has ever run on us like that I think we played their option stuff fairly well but they sure did a good job on the other stuff That Steve Grogan (quarterback) can do a lot of things with the football He does a good job of concealing the ball That sprint -draw (to Isaac Jackson) really hurt us We worked on it all week but they just executed good" Asked why it was such a tough week of preparation Fambrough said really was concerned about starting the conference and playing K-State in the first game That game down at Tennessee took away from us we just he added just came right at in the second half KU fold and neither did we But it got down to one play-the fumble was as hard a football game as ever seen I be more proud of our football team and the way they came back got the mental toughness which we have last Dave Jaynes KU quarterback said K-State do much different in the second half when it seemingly grasped control of the game seemed run three plays off and go off the the senior from Bonners Springs said just played good Jaynes said the wide pitch off the option was successful in the first half because he was catching the in a blitz just a hit-and-miss thing with the he said changed a little in the second half Jaynes attempted to explain getting caught in the end zone on the play on which K-State picked up on automatic safety Jaynes was called for intentional grounding nose guard (Charley Kilgore) put a lot of quick pressure he said know where I was on the field My tailback had to stay in to block on the blitz and I had no place to go with the State spoke briefly and to the point "The whole game can be traced to one the he said Bill Holman the running back who coughed up the ball at the K-State 40 only 2:41 from the final gun said he believe he had good control of the handoff from Grogan "The tackle (Fedro Dillon) was Holman said I think I really ever had a good hold on the guy hit him real Grogan said "I thought he had it but on the hit he sort of relaxed because I think he was groggy I know when he got up he too Fambrough gave the game ball to Dean Zook the end who plays on the right side next to Dillon "That play fumble recovery) was the perfect example of being in the right place at the right Fambrough said Gibson had more to say about the crucial miscue 2:41 left in the game we get a break roughing-the-punter penalty against KU) and all we need to do is run 30 seconds down each play But we Gibson said that his never lost their hold on the game despite trailing 17-3 early in the second half game never turned There a new place in town to test-drive a Saab Maryland Tumbles To
