Mississippi, ranked second in this Associated Press poll to Michigan State, lost its bid to take over the No. 1 spot when the Spartans lost to Minnesota earlier Saturday.

LSU was ranked 6th. This was the 3rd straight year that LSU has wrecked a possibly unbeaten season for the Rebels. But Mississippi kept the 68,000 screaming fans tense until the final seconds when LSU end Gene Sykes recovered Rebel quarterback Glynn fumble on the Tiger 36 yard line.

Hadl was the big not the an afternoon that saw a biting 20-mile-an-hour wind whip across the field and most of the fans head for the fireside before the contest ended. The temperature was a mighty cold 30 at the final whistle. The elusive Hadl, who got a great deal of assistance from a fine Jayhawk squad that lived up to advance billing, was a master at the option maneuver and he hit key passes aU afternoon. His chart for the day: 36 yards rushing, one touchdown and 7 of 10 passes for 113 yards and one to mention his ball-handling and spunky leadership. It was his slick engineering job that got KU a two- touchdown lead by halftime to scuttle Husker upset hopes.

impressive win, when Colorado nipped Missouri, 7-6 to remain unbeaten. Nebraska sagged to 2-4-1 for the year, suffered a record breaking 5th straight loss to KU and its 4th straight of the season. KU is now 4-2-1. NU Homecomers saw only one Cornhusker splurge a belated passing attack which led to a touchdown early in the 4th quarter after Kansas had a 21-0 lead. Perhaps there will be a bit of satisfaction in knowing that the sudden decision to pass, which met with entertaining success, set up a Bill Thornton touchdown the first time in 10 games the Kansas line has surrendered an infantry TD.

But the much-too-late NU aerial circus was just part of the frantic activity which took place during the second half. Kansas changed the script by abandoning TD marches in favor of long distance thrusts, for one thing.

Halfback Leon 25- yard punt returned to 47 ignited the Colorado touchdown march with barely a minute left in the second period.

Halfbadp Teddy Woods scampered Ifi yards and quiur- terback Gale Weidner hit end Jerry Hillebrand with a 14- yard pass to the 21. After one incomplete pass, Weidner connected with halfback Bill Harris for the touchdown. Harris tucked in the ball on the 10 and eluded one tackier before scooting into the end zone. Neither team was effective on offense in the 3rd quarter. Early in the 4th period Missouri took a punt on its 37 and marched 63 yards in 13 plays for the equalizing touchdown.

Quarterback Ron Taylor started the scoring with a pitchoizl to Hunter, who then rifled the ball to end Don Wainwright on the goal line. The Missourians then tried the identical play from the other side of the line for two extra failed. passing moved Colorado down to the Missouri 9 in the first quarter but the Tigers stiffened and attempted field goat from the 17 was wide to the right.
