It w'as the worst licking ever administered Nebraska by a Kansas club in the 66- year history of the rivalry, besting the 22-point margin established here in 19.58.

Except for Jack extreme kindness to his former coach, the Jayhawks very likely would have surpassed the 36-point total run up way back in 1899 when KU beat the Huskers, 36-20. Mitchell called off the dogs midway in the 3rd quarter after the Jayhawks leisurely took a 24-0 lead before a crowd of 28,000. How To Lose Your Head But Keep Your Feet Iowa (UPI) Iowa Stale ended 29 years of frustration Saturday when it scored a touchdown in the final 3 minutes to beat Oklahoma, 10-6, for its first victory over the mighty Sooners since 1931. The Cyclones, who had lost 23 straight to Oklahoma after tying the Sooners back in 1926, sent their All-American candidate Tom Watkins over with the winning touchdown w.di a left in the game after Oklahoma had forced a 4th down situation on the 6-inch line. The jam-paeked crowd of 18,000 fans turned Clyde Williams field into bedlam as the final gun sounded and coach Clay Stapleton was carried off the field on the shoulders of his players.

The Gophers, ranked Number ,2 nationally, going into the game, were expected to take over the number one Iowa only twice under its own power, but a bad pass from center on a punting situation gave possession once only 14 yards With the Cornhuskers turning in their poorest performance of the year by a wide margin, Kansas played the rest of the way and drove 62 yards for a 4th quarter touchdown.

Late in the final quarter, Kansas snared a Pat Clare fumble on the KU 33, but the Jayhawk.3rd and 4th stringers dent the Husker defense to add further embarrassment. So inept were the ers that they were unable to make a first down from midway in the first period to the final minute of the 4th quarter. Thus, Nebraska is now for the campaign and 1-4 in the Big 8, with Oklahoma State and Oklahoma still on tap. Kansas, meanw'hile, is 4-0-1 in conference play with Colorado and Missouri still to be met. Overall, KU is 5-2-1.

Nebraska was completely devoid of an offense, and little better on defense against the fired-up Jayhawks who quickly capitalized on Husker rocks in the early stages of the game and then toyed with their northern neighbors as Mitchell threw' 43 players into action, including some not listed on the program. There are more unhappy facts to recount. It was the first time Kansas has ever been able to win 4 straight from Nebraska. It was the first time since 1937 that Nebraska has been shut out twice in succession. The Huskers have now been blanked 59-0 in two games against Missouri (28-0) and Kansas.

Nebraska move inside 35-yard line until 4 minutes were left in the 4th quarter. It took a fumble by Con Keating former Columbus, prep star and now 3rd string quarterback at Kansas to turn the trick.
