LAWRENCE up this one for Bemie Masteram. The score: Nebraska 16, Kansas 14. It was early in the fourth period, when the Huskers were sporting a 13 to 7 advantage that Nebraska's professor of football did his bit of masterminding. The Scarlet had the leather on the Jayhawker 5- yard stripe, fourth down and six yards to go.

From the bench. Master son I ushed in quarterback Dick Thompson Bemie sent in instructions to try a field goal He wanted those three points. Sam Vacanti. with Tommy holding, dropped back to the 13 yard stripe, and booted the ball squarely thru ghe uprights. That ladies and gentlemen, was the ball game And what a bail game it was! Here was K.

THE HI SKERS struck first early in the second period on a (beautiful Vacanti to I beautiful Hutton to Vacanti pan. Dick, going full speed, caught the ball on the KU 32, quickly cut toward the middle and with some fine interference raced the remaining 30 yards to the promised land. It was a 52-yard run, Naan Vacanti kirk was lew, the snap bark being a little stow or a missed signal making Thompson late getting the ball down for the attempt.

That six points looked good for a while for Nebraska's line was giving the Kl' forwards the works. Kansas, in fart, made only six yards by rushing ine the first two periods. A costly fumble by Fullback Tom Novak gave the Jayhawk- I ears life on the NU 26 in the first of the third period and K.U. struck fast. An Evans to Pattee aerial for IS yards put the oval on the Husker 17.

Frank Pattee came thru with an important first down on the Husker 7. Pattee lost five on a completed forward, but Evans dropped back and put a bullet pass to Bud French in the end rone for the tying touchdown. DON FAMBROl GH. who mimed an extra point all season, split the uprights and the Kansas rooting section went wild. The Jayhawkers were ahead 7 to 6 Oily seven minutes had been played in the quarter when the Jays struck.

Nebraska got its next scoring chance shortly after, when French fumbled Jack Pesek long kick and Bob Schleiger recovered for the Huskers on the Kansas 31. A holding penalty put the Huskers back ii yards, but a moment later Bill Mooney b.oke loose on a naked reverse and scampered down the sidelines for 42 yards and the 'own. This time Vacanti made good MOO MET HITS PAY Husker Bill Moomey crosses the double stripe for the second Nebraska touchdown the Scar let trimmed Kansas 16-14, at Lawrence. Hard on the heels of the York speedster is Ray Evans, Jayhawk star. (Staff Photo by Wirephoto.) and the Huskers breathed easier.

The Scarlet led 13 to 7 and the Huskers were riding high. ANOTHER fumble by Bud French gave Nebraska its last scoring opportunity shortly be- fore the end of the period, die Schwartzkopf recovering the apple on the Jayhawks' 22 yard stripe. Then came the touchdown drive that fizzled and the strategy that paid off in a field goal. Leading 16 to 7. the Huskers settled down with hands on hips, place, xcept that Mr.

Ray Evans of Kansas had other ideas. He ripped thru for first down on the Kansas 35. He reeled off five more and then pered 23 to the NX 35. He had a little help from his mates enroute, particularly from Hoyt Baker, who found a hole for nine yards, getting up to the braska 26. Evans faded back again and.

1 with good protection, sighted the field and saw tall Otto Schnellbachcr streaking down the sidelines. He cut loam and Otto plucked the ball near coffin corner and went over standing up. AGAIN Fambrough delivered the mail. The score: Nebraska 16. Kansas 14.

And the way the game ended, alt ho Gordon Hall made an important tackle on Frank Pattee that lost Kansas ten yards am! put the ball on the Jayhawker 30 Kansas had elected to try a pass on the fourth down with a yard to go. It was a fake kick formation, but Hall was thru fast and Pattee nevfcr got rid of the ball, AS THE CLOCK ticked away the seconds. Nebraska lost the ball on a fumble on their own ten and Evans, in a last ditch effort to win the ball game, flipped a long one to Schnell- bacber that was good for a first down on the Kansas 31 as the game ended. Nebraska all bet took K.C. apart in the first period, three times threatening to score only to miss the boat.

Little IMck Hutton was almost loose for a touchdown on the second scrimmage play of the ball game, going yards on a quick opening play to the Kansas 25. Ray Evans got him from behind to save a touchdown. A VACANTI to Hutton pass that had all the carmans of a touchdown went tor naught when the ball slipped thru fingers. Kansas finally took over on downs on their own 15, Moomey scampered thru for 34 yards, getting up to the Kansas 32 and Sam pitched to Hutton for 31 yards and down on Jayhawker 4. Here again the Huskers paused up a scoring chance when Jack Fesek let a Vacanti forward slip thru his fingers with the uprights lu sight.

Kansas took over on their eight Mike DiBiase recovery of a Kansas fumble cm the Jayhawk 14 gave the Huskers still another scoring opportunity, but thie time the Huskers went haywire and KU took possession on its 19. TO NEBRASKA'S line must go much of the credit for the victory. In the first two periods, Kansas made exactly six yards by rushing. Evans completed only one pass in eight fag 11 yards. The final also far- vored the Nebraskans.

198 yards net to hPi 51. and by first 9 to 6. Nebraska completed of 16 aenais for 126 yards against 5 out of 13 for S3 yards.

This statement drew a short, cynical laugh from the presidents of both major leagues, and the umpires went on getting the same pay as before.
