Iowa State Coach Clay Stapleton waited 30 minutes after the game before meeting with the press following the 1613 loss to Nebraska. But he genially visited with writers for a long time when the locker room doors were finally opened. When a writer joked, you made more points than Iowa Stapleton grinned and replied: not much Stapleton heaped praise on the Cornhuskers and Bill Jennings with such observations as: were just too strong for us. We put enough pressure on them. is a real fine player and Thornton really impressed me.

We could sure use This just a warm up for the soft spoken Cyclone coach who teaches hard nosed football. is a real good football he I said before the game Nebraska is the best looking losing team seen. agree with Jack Alitch- ell that Nebraska has a helluva lot of potential going for it. big and strong and will be great next year. backs ran the hardest of any backs seen this year and I say that without The Cyclone coach added, thinking it over, lucky they didn't beat u.s It was obvious Stapleton wa.sn’t happy about losing, but he confided to writers: damn nic-e, if you have to lose, to lose to a nice guy like Bill Jennings.

"We play a lot of sophomores and i never did look for any great shakes this Clay single out any Cyclone linemen because line play could have stood some better coacli- ing, so i want to blame the kids until I see the Heaving a deep sigh, Clay wound up his confab by saying, getting long now. Everyone is battle weary and beat up.

Both teams were before nothing to do but play the next 2 games. got Tulsa and Colorado and got Colorado and Oklahoma. Yep. the getting Official restrains Thornton Toogood tears into Hoppmanii. Thunder Ouster Irks Huskers Ames, la.

Nebraska players made no bones about the fact they felt Bill Thornton got a by being ejected with 1:25 left in the 16-13 win over Iowa State Saturday. The object of their frustrations was Cyclone star Dave lloppmann. The Husker version of what happened: a Cyclone lineman twisted off helmet after grabbing his face guard and Dave Hoppmann poked at his face, jabbing his eye and scraping his nose. Thornton Jumped up swinging and 4ackle Gary Toogood fired at the lineman, then veered for a punch at Hoppmann. Both Thornton and Toogood got the boot, but Hoppmann remained in the game to direct Iowa last second touchdown drive.

Nebraska sideliners were furious and Thornton had to be restrained by trainer George Sullivan from going back out for more boxing. And at the conclusion of the game, guard Dal Dyer got in some swings at Cyclone guard Chuck Steimle. But the Huskers were in a more jovial mood in the locker room where they whooped it up. ripped off his helmet and Hoppmann punched i Toogood said, adding with a grin. I got to Hoppmann with Thornton, cut on the nose and bleeding from the jabbing, made no accusations know who did he said.

We should have scored should have kept my Dyer explained his run-in with Steimle by saying, clipped me from behind and I Just went after Tri-captain Don Purcell, who hail a great day with 3 catches for 65 yards, said the victory a team effort all the way. Listen, not the the kids. They've got to have it, really battle like we did Pat Salerno, the senior end who injured a knee before the season, got into action for the first time and did well. But he was mad at himself for letting Hoppmann break loose on his long TD jaunt.

I had a hold on him and should have got Pat said. we really played hard everyone on the Dennis Claridge, w' played most of the game both on offense and defense, grinned when asked about the key field goal just before the first half ended.

"I see him throw a good pass all The Husker bench was aroused in the final quarter, yelling encouragement to players and jibes at the Cyclones.

And when a coach would call for a sub, other players would gather around and pep him up.

One Cyclone drive was stopped when Claridge inter-: cepted a Hoppmann pass in! the end zone and ran it back 49 yards. The Huskers ate up the clock and finally were stopped on the Cyclone 3 with 1:08 left in the game. During the drive Nebraska lost the services of and tackle Gary They were kicked out of the game for taking a couple punches at Iowa Hopp-1 mann. i Thornton had his helmet torn off on the play by Hopp-; mann.

Toogood came hi to: help as if the Tol-: edo strong man needed any! hi'lp. Hoppmann then led the Cy-, clones on a fanta.stic finish' which saw the hosts go 97! yards in ju.st a minute and 6 seconds. Key play was a 61-i yard pass to end Randy Kidd which nearly went all the way. Callahan ran Kidd down from behind. The final 6 yards was covered on a pass to end Dick Limerick.

pass for two extra points was dropped by Limerick on a diving effort. The Cyclones tried a short kick and the ball w'as fumbled by a Husker lineman and recovered by Iowa State. However, there was no damage as the clock ran out on the kick. There was an outburst at the end of the game as Dal Dyer and Chuck Steimle exchanged blows but it was quickly broken up. This was best showing on offense this year.

The Huskers went over the 300-yard mark for the first lime with 238 rushing and 88 passing. The Husker defense was better than the figures show. The Cyclones could run for just 89 of that on the one dash by and they passed for 180 with 97 of that in the final minute of piay. Purcell grabbed 3 of 5 completions for 60 yards. Claridge, used briefly at left half with Meade at quarterback, ran for 33 yards.

defense against ithe Cyclone single wing was I keyed around the use of Bob I Brown, 251-pound sophomore, at middle linebacker. Not once did the Cyclones use a full-1 back trap up the middle, sim- ilar to the ones that beat the! Huskers last year. All the Husker linemen did I a whale of a job and Claridge was outstanding as he played nearly the entire game due to injuries last week to Warren Powers and Willie Ross. Ross was a surprise entry on the traveling squad after making rapid improvement Thursday. He saw only lim-; ited action, however.

Quiet Please The first time Nebraska got the ball, the Iowa State band started to play a song just as the Huskers came out of the huddle. Quarterback Dennis Claridge nalled for silence, but get it and the officials held up the game until the band and booing could be stopped. Sub Problem Cyclone coach Clay Stapleton had substitution difficulties in the first half.

After the firs t-quarter penalty which set up the NU touchdown, he tried to send in a player but the official kept waving the boy out. The crowd let go with a chorus of boos and finally the boy got in. Later, he signalled for a sub on the sidelines and two boys "jumped up, collided and both fell down.
