If 4 Gndders Stun Texas; Face Minnesota Next By Hal Brown Nebraska, a' team that has pulled more major upsets in the past three years than any school in the country, turned giant-killer again Saturday night with a 14-13 victory over heavily-favored Texas at Austin. The victory was the second opening-game upset' for the Huskers in the past three years under Bill Jennings. Nebraska - toppled a potent Penn State team, 14-7, in the 1958 opener and later in the season laid claim to the title. "Champions of Pennsylvan ia" with a 14-6' surprise win over Pittsburgh Looking Ahead ' Saturday night's victory ranks with last year's stun ning . 25-21 triumph over Oklahoma but the Huskers made it plain after the" game that they - weren't going to rest-on their laurels -as talk swung to the upcoming bat tle with Minnesota at Memor ial Stadium Saturday. Jennings; shouting to be heard over the noise in the dressing room .at Austin re minded the jubilant Huskers, "Forget this game,, we've got Minnesota next week." Don Purcell, junior end from Omaha who did an excellent job of stopping the Longhorn end sweeps, was also looking to Saturday's game, "After we beat Minnesota we'll be right up there among the best." Co-captain Don F r 1 c k e, back at his center slot after a year at fullback, summed up the player's feelings, "We're not going to live on just one game. We've got Minnesota next week and we're going on down the line." The win over Texas gives Nebraska a 2-1 edge over the Longhorns in the series. Ne braska won the first game by a 26-0 count in 1933 and Texas b'anked the Huskers a year ago, 20-0. Pat Fischer, making his debut at quarterback a suc cess, scored both Husker touchdowns and was on the pitching end of the two-point play for the conversion after the second Nebraska TD. LongRunback "" Fischer gathered in a punt from Bobby Nunis on the Husker 24-yard line and raced STUDENT WIVES!!! MANPOWER needs skilled office help for tem porary assignments.

Ron Meade, who made good on nine of 12 extra point attempts last year, tailed this time as his boot was off to the left. Nebraska scored what proved to be the winning point on a trick play after the Huskers had driven 35 yards in 10 plays for their second TD with 12:13 gone in the third quarter. Leading 12-7 Meade entered the game arid Nebraska lined up for a placement with Fischer on one knee to receive the snap back. As the snap came back from center Fischer stood up and hit Thunder Thornton in the end zone with a pass for two points to make the score 14-7 in favor of Nebraska.

With Fischer, Thornton, Clare and Bernie "The Bolt" Clay carrying the mail Ne braska drove goalward. Fischer picked up two and after a fumble netted one yard the 166-pound quarter back from Omaha went back to pass but when he saw all h i s receivers covered he tucked the ball under his arm and scampered 16 yards for a firs' down on the Texas 16 ,vard line. Thornton then picked up fcur yards, Clare added four, and Thornton came back for two more and a first and goal situation on the six-yard line. Clay gained three to the three-yard marker, Thornton added one and Clay gained one more yard. Fischer Scores With fourth down and one yard to go Fischer kept the ball and reached paydirt for his second TD of the game. Texas drove 73 yards for their second touchdown on 18 plays with quarterback Mike Cotten pushing his way over from the two-yard line with 7:47 remaining in the game. The Longhorns decided to go for two points and a win rather than one point and a tie but the Nebraska line stopped Cotten on the one yard line to preserve the 14-13 Husker lead. Texas threatened once more as they drove to the Nebraska 13-yard line with 1:38 remaining but with a first and ten on the 13 Cot ten slipped as he went back to pass with Bill Comstock in close pursuit for a loss of nine yards. Another pass at tempt was knocked down by Thornton. After fullback Ray Poage gained five to the 17 the Long .lorns sent Ray Barton in for a field goal attempt but his kick was short and to the left nt the goal posts and Nebras ka took over at the 20 with less than a minute remaining on the clock. Meade Keeps Junior quarterback Meade replaced F'ischer and ran two plays into the center of the Longhorn line to run out the clock and give the Huskers the win.

'lllW ji in i f'nnmr r n in nr i i sin u mmmmimiiT- i 1 l Fischer Enjoys Openers Pat Fischer is making long runbacks in opening games a habit. In the last three opening games he has run back punts or kickoffs for more than 75 yards in each game. Against Penn State two years ago he ran back a kickoff for 92 yards and a touchdown, and last year a clipping penalty nullified a 94-yard ; punt return against Texas. Saturday night he ran a punt back to 76 yards for a TD. The Texans needed 18 plays j plays to cover the 80 yards with Cotten going the final six for the TD. Barton added the extra point to give the Long horns a 7-0 lead with 10:47 gone in the opening quarter. SIDrXIGUTS The Ne braska defense held Texas without a first down in the third quarter. Archie Cobb handled t h c punting for Nebraska with seven kicks totaling 267 yards for a 38.1 average. Harry Tolly averaged 36.4 yards per punt on 53 boots during the 1959 season. Three Texas punters averaged 36.8 yards per punt. The win gives Bill Jen nings 2-2 mark in opening games.
