He also combined with quarterback Eddie Wilson on a 28-yard pass play and piled up 177 net yards rushing to lead the Arizona attack. The lone bright spot in the Husker offense was the pas ing of quarterback Dennis Claridge. NU took advantage of a bad punt and a recov ered fumble and scored on drives from 40 and 22 yards out. The Huskers led 7-6 at the half then held a 14-6 advan tage early in the third stanza. Arizona, with Thompson and his touchdown twin, Joe Her nandez, doing most of the damage, roared back to score then tied the game on a two point extra point play and continued to threaten through out the last quarter. Time Runs Out On the last play attempted in the game the Wildcats were camped on the Husker 26-yard line and were trying to rush in a field goal tee be fore time ran out on them. Nebraska, which spent most of the afternoon on defense. came out on the short end of the statistics with only 134 yards total offense compared to Ari zona's 367. The wildcats made 297 on the ground and 70 through the air. Nebraska drew first blood in the game after a bad punt gave the Huskers the ball on the Arizona 40. The big piay came when Claridge at tempted, to pass to Dennis Stuewe from tne . rne pass was incomplete but in terference was called on Ari zona's Thompson and NU got the ball first and goal at the Wildcat 5. NU Grabs Lead In the first play of the sec ond quarter Claridge bit end Jim Huge, who was all alone in the end zone, with a 5 yard TD pass. Ron Meade's extra point kick gave Nebras ka 7-0 lead. Arizona scored late in the first half marching from their own 38 in eight plays. The big gainer came when Thomp son broke through the right side of the Nebraska line and scampered 4C yards to the XU 16 before Warren Powers stopped hini. The Wildcats scored on a 7.irarH inrr.n nanc fmm flliar-! j.'r i terback Wilson to end John Renner. Their two-point extra point play failed. The Huskers again took ad vantage of a break when NU's Tyrone Robertson pounced on an Arizona fumble on the Arizona 22, setting up the second Husker score. After Bui Thornton lost five, Claridge again went to the airways, hitting halfback Dennis Stuewe on a 12-yard pass play to the' Wildcat 15. Fullback Rudy Johnson boomed for nine yards to the six then Stuewe swept left end for the score on the next play. Meade's talented toe again connected tor a 14-6 bulge. From then on, however, it Thompson Scores was all Arizona as the Wild cats immediately roared back to score and never let up. Thompson' got the second Wildcat TD as he broke through for a 24-yard sprint, climaxing a 79 yard drive in 11 plays. Arizona decided to go for two on the extra point and it when Claridge fumbled the' the fourth quarter but were - ' - , . -w - r y f , 4. H unable to score. A Wilson field goal attempt was no good from the XU 23 and time ran out on the second drive.

Defensive halfback Powers stopped two Arizona drives, once with a key pass inter ception and coming out of no where to bat another Wilson pass down.

"Nebraska has a good hard hitting football team," was the comment Arizona coach Jim LaRue had to sum up the game Saturday. LaRue made it very clear that he is never satisfied with a tie but that it's better than losing. Coach LaRue replied interference penalty called against them and the fumble which set up the second NU tonchdown were the big dif ferences in the game. LaRue said there was no doubt Bobby Thompson and Joe Hernandez were stand outs for his club. 'Make Thunder Blunder" In the Arizona dressing room was a sign dangling from the wall stating "Make Thunder Blunder." Thompson said that this was the team motto for the Nebraska game. "The (Nebraska) line was big and strong and Brown was powerful," commented guard Howard Breinig. Thompson also backed up this statement by saying "They hit just as hard as we thought they would." He also expressed the fact that Ne braska was the biggest team they have played and he couldn't see how Thorntoa al ways was waiting for him on their trap plays. Arizona's last surge for a victory, which was brought to a stoo with time running out, brought this statement from Wildcat quarterback roa die Wilson. "Last time I looked at the Clock there was 10 seconds left and the clock was stopped." Then he said the referee took the ball and what could he say, the game was over. Wildcat Speed Praised The Cornhusker football team seemed to have had enough of Arizona's speed Saturday afternoon. ' Coach Bill Jennings, obviously dis satisfied with the 14-14 tie, commented that "they (Ari zona) had real fine speed. They are a threat on every play." Assistant coach C 1 e t u s Fischer, who scouted Arizona against Colorado State, add ed, "They were better than we thought; they didn't show anything like this last week." Bob Brown, hulking Husker tackle, said, "their line didn't bit too bard, but they certain ly were quick, the quickest I've ever seen." After pausing for a mo ment. Brown added that "we're better than we looked." Halfbacks Dangerous' Dennis Stuewe, Dal Dyer and Jim Huge all had praise for Arizona halfbacks Bobby Lee "The General" Thomp son and joe "Jackrabbit" Hernandez. The two fleet-footed halfbacks were labeled "quick and dangerous." Coach Jennings, running bis hands through his graying hair, stated that "we didn't hold their long gain plays as well as we had hoped to. They really didn't try anything new, but they trapped as to death all afternoon." "Basically we used the same defense as last week," he continued. "I don't know why they could sustain a drive and we couldn't; we will have to find out why in the films and correct it quick ly," he added. IIP!!
