Another Denver drive died on the 5.

A pair of Denver fumbles in the period ended one promising drive and gave Iowa State its field goal chance. Denver halfback Ev Newman fumbled the ball away on the Iowa 29.

At times he looked like he wanted to chew nails. But the greying University of Nebraska football coach resisted. As he walked the sidelines while the Hu.skers were losing to Washington State, Jennings displayed little emotion.

Quickly, he regained his composure and conversed briefly with assi.stant coach Don Strasheim.
