COLUMBIA Mo. University of proud 12- game winning streak and national reputation rode the pitching and passing arm of Jack Scarbath the churning legs of Ralph Felton to a narrow comeback 13-10 victory Saturday over the Univer-! sity of supposedly out-( classed Tigers. i It was Felton who took a pitchout from Scarbath and carried 15 yards across the goal line early in the fourth quarter to givej Maryland its first touchdown. 1 It was Scarbath, calmly picking, his receivers under the pressure, of dying seconds, who spotted Lloyd Colteryahn on 26 yard line and opened the door for winning score with barely more than a minute re-: maining.

COLTERYAHN grabbed the pass, hesitated while Felton threw a key block that removed the only Tiger defender, and then raced into the end zone. Except for that brilliant comeback, Maryland looked like a fallen giant. For three quarters it, resembled anything but the team; that was rated 1-2 among the football greats with Michigan State. For three quarters the crowd of 18,000 sat in damp stadium seats, almost ready to believe they were to be in on the first major; upset of the 1952 season. They saw fumbled dispose of a terrific Maryland first half advantage, while Missouri playing as though It had never seen the team rankings, followed along behind Quarterback Tony Scardino and Jim Hook, and Fullback Bill Roekamp, the ex-West Point cadet.

Missouri managed only four first downs to seven in the first half. And In rushing yardage the Terrapins ground out 125 yards to the 45.

Amidst a deluge of flags, the Huskers cleared a first foothill along a mountainous road back by matching a halftime output of 26 points with 20 more bites of pay dirt during the final two quarters. An audience of 30,000 saw the Huskers exude crisp tackling and improved blocking this sunny day. They saw two fullbacks of old-time power proportions emerge in Ray Novak and George Cifra and, best of all. they saw All-American Bobby Reynolds in one of his heart-stopping touchdown gallops.

THEY SAW two new quarterbacks of high promise in Duane Rankin and Dan Brown and, amidst the symphony of flags, there beamed through a determination that forbodes a longer days for future Husker foes. I Coach J. William Glassford- emptied his entire bench, 53 strong, on the Coyotes as the' Huskers piled up 29 downs and 516 net yards. Whether the Coyotes were woefully weak or Husker replacements are neck-deep, the real test still looms Saturday night at Portland, Ore. There the Huskers do battle with a major power.
