Tiger LasH" Minute
Thomas Sparkplug
In Near Upset
By BOB MARTEL
Sports Editor
So close, yet so far. That was
the story of the Cornhusker'a at
tempt to ruin Missouri's homecom
ing and pick up their second win
of the campaign.
Nebraska led 13-7 with 2:42 left
when Tiger quarterback Phil Snow
den decided to take to the air.

fens was not up to par and the
Tigers hit on six of seven attempts
to move the ball to the Nebraska
13.
Fullback Hank Kuhlmann lugged
the leather to the six and Snowden
brought the crowd to its 'feet as he
skipped through a host of Nebras
ka tacklers to score the equalizer.
Charlie Rash extended his
string of consecutive PAT's to 13
as he booted the extra point to
jive Missouri the 14-13 victory.
The Tiger victory ended a three
fame Nebraska win streak and
was Missouri's 20th triumph in 51
meetings. There have been three
ties.
The game started out looking
like a long afternoon for the Corn
buskers. Nebraska took the opening kick
off and couldn't move on the first
series of plays. Stinnett punted and
the Tigers took over on the NU 45
and marched downfield for the
first score. Rash added the extra
point and Missouri led 7-0 with 8:22
till remaining in the first quarter.
The Huskers looked as if they
had something going following the
kickoff. They gained 33 yards in
six plays, but Stinnett's first pass
of the afternoon was intercepted
and the march was halted.
Missouri banged its way to the
Nebraska four yard line in the
second quarter only to have
H u s ker - end- Mike Lee brsak
through and drop Snowden for a
five yard loss necessitating a field
goal attempt. Rash's three point
try was way off.
Nebraska came roaring back to
pick up one of its biggest breaks
of the afternoon. Jerry Brown's
quick kick bounced off Tiger Dave
Mason's leg on the Missouri 23
and Husker end Roger pounced on
It to put Nebraska within striking
distance.
" The Huskers smashed down to
the MU 11 and on the third down
10 yards to go for a first down,
Doug Thomas ripped over the right
aide and barrelled down to the two
where he fumbled and the Tigers
took over.
Nebraska struck lightning fast

Almost but not quite
in the third quarter, scoring twice
within 1:04.
Jerry Brown and Thomas led
the Huskers to their first score.
The Big Red grinded out 38 yards
in 13 plays with Thomas plunging
over from the two to climax the
drive.
Dick Prusia had two chances to
tie the game, but failed on both
occasions. -
Nebraska received another gold
en opportunity just seconds later
when Missouri halfback Charlie
James fumbled the kickoff and Le
Roy Zentic pounced on it on the
Tiger 22.
Thomas ran 16 yards down to
the Missouri six on the first play
and Larry Naviaux, after picking
up one yard, grabbed a pitch out
from Stinnett and sprinted the re
maining five yards to put Nebras
ka out front. George Cifra added
the point to make the score 13-7.
The game itself was a sloppily
played affair with rumbles the
main theme. Missouri fumbled the
ball away, four times while the
Huskers lost possession three
times.
Nebraska will 'host the Kansas
Jayhawks next Saturday in the an
nual Homecoming contest. The
Jayhawkers were trounced by Mi
ami of Florida 48-7 in an inter
sectional contest Friday night.

Frighten
Sooners
The stubborn Colorado Buffa
loes came very close to halting
Oklahoma's consecutive victory
string when they dropped a close
14-13 contest at Norman on Sat
urday. The Oklahomans, thoroughly out
played, had to come from behind
in the fourth quarter to pull the
contest out.
Clendon Thomas bulled his way
over from the eight and quarter
back Carl Dodd booted the PAT
to turn defeat to victory for the
Sooners.
The Sooners drew first blood
when they capitalized on a Colo
rado miscue late in the first quar
ter. Thomas' 67 yard quick kick
was touched by a Colorado player
on the Buffs' 13 yard line and the
ball was smothered by Sooner Jer
ry Thompson.
Bobby Boyd romped over from
the nine yard line and Dave Baker
kicked the point to send the Soon
ers ahead.
The Buffs scored in the third per
iod when Bob Stransky intercep
ted a Thomas pass and romped 40
yards for the touchdown. Ellwin
Indorf's conversion attempt was
blocked and the Buffs trailed Okla
homa by one point 7-6.
Stransky passed to Boyd Dowler
for the second Colorado score. This
eame "at the beginning of the
fourth quarter. Indorf's kick was
good and the Buffs were out in
front 13-7.
Mullins Leads

The University of Nebraska
cross-country squad remained un
defeated as they downed Missouri
23-32 at Columbia on Saturday.

The Kasnas State Wildcats j
picked up their first Big Eight
Conference victory of the season
Saturday as they downed Iowa
State 14-10.
The Wildcats halted four Iowa
State scoring opportunities in the
fourth quarter to preserve their
lead.
Kansas State carried the ball
across mid-field only twice but
a 70 yard march at the outset of
the second half accomplished the
winning margin. George Whitney,
whose 20 yard run midway in the
drive was a tremendous factor,
scored the winning touchdown from
the five. Don Zadnick added the
extra point.
The Wildcats drew first blood
early in the first quarter. Jim
Lary fumbled the opening kickoff
to setup the score on the Iowa
State 28. Tony Tiro plunged over
from the three. Zadnick again
added the point.
A 27 yard pass from Dwight
Nichols to Brian Dennis enabled
Iowa State to tie the score early
in the second quarter. Dennis
made a difficult over the shoulder
catch for the score.
Lyle Carlson, who added the
extra poinnt, kicked a field goal
from the Kansas State 20 in the
third period to bring the Cyclones
ud to 14-10. '
Ineligible receivers downfield

down in the second period and
