Buff Win Over KU Top
By Mel Hester
Colorado, led by quarter,
back Gale Weidner.i proved
to 42,000 fans at Boulder Sat
urday that the game isn't
over until the final gun
sounds.
The Buffaloes, trailing 19-0
with only 13 minutes left in
the game, marched into Jay
hawk territory three times to
beat Kansas 20-19.
On all three of the Buffs'
touchdowns, Weidner went to
the air scoring 52, 47 and 10
yard connections.
Colorado's great comeback
started when Ken Blair
hauled in Weidner's first toss
for a 57 yard score. Then
after Kansas was forced to
kick, CU fullback Lor en
Schweninger carried the ball
to the Kansas 47 yard line,
where, on the next play Ken
Blair snatched Weidner's pass
from defender Willis Brooks
and sped 16 yards for the
touchdown.
Then after stalling Kansas
once again and forcing them
to kick, Colorado marched
deep into Kansas territory

WILLIE'S ON THE WAY-Willie Ross, K-State line
Nebraska halfback, sprints through the the day.
Jennings Pleased--' 'Still
Need More Consistency'
Husker Coach Bill Jennings
was pleased with his team's
performance against Kansas
State. The NU mentor said
after the game, "The entire
squad played good, hard foot
ball." He had special praise for
his two fleet-footed halfbacks,
Thunder Thornton and Willie
Ross. "Ross played very well
defensively and offensively
and Thornton is ready to go,"
he commented.
"We used nothing new just
our regular defense," Jen
nings replied when asked
about the tough defense dis
played by the Huskers in
blanking the Wildcats 24-0.
Jennings said he did not
know what happened when
NU's Larry Donovan and
K-State's Jack King got into
a fight late in the game, but
described the whole game as
"a clean played ball game."
"Need Consistency"
Jennings was happy with
the ground attack turned in
by Jus gridders but added
that "it still needs more con
sistency." He reported that Nebraska
came out of the game with
no injuries of any conse
quence. Kansas State played about
as expected, according to
Jennings. "They played hard
and are a real aggressive ball
club."
Kansas . State Coach Doug
Weaver had special praise for
Nebraska saying, "They were
definitely the better team to
day. They clearly dominated
the game throughout.
NU Overpowering
"I was impressed with
their entire team. They did
just what we wanted to pre
vent them from doing over
power us."
The Huskers players were
happy about the win and
were already looking forward
play to Jerry Hildebrand gave
the Buffs the victory.
Iowa State, which also
scored three quick touch
downs, took advantage of Ok
lahoma mistakes Saturday to
down the Sooners 21-15.
The Cyclones' three quick
ones came in the first quar
ter with 17, 58 and 33-yard
drives sparked by Dave Hop
mann, and Ozzie Clay. Okla
homa, with plenty of fight still
in their blood came back
with two 80-yard drives slim
ing the winning margin to
only one touchdown. Then
once again marching, Okla
homa fumbled and IS recov
ered, cinching the win.
California, led by quarter
back Randy Gold, battled to
a 14-14 tie with heavily fa
vored Mizzouri at Columbia.
Gold led the Bears to both
touchdowns with H a 1 f b a c
Jerry. Scattini scoring on a
one yard plunge and Gold on
a 13 yard run.
Also- in the spotlight was
Missouri quarterback Ron
Taylor, who dived one yard
in the first quarter and drove

to next week's big game with
Syracuse.
"We're lookin' for Ernie,"
said Husker halfback Willie
Ross when asked about the
Syracuse game. Ross was the
Husker's most potent weapon
against K-State scoring three
touchdowns and gaining 103
yards.
Good Blocking
Ross said, "My first good
college game feels real good.
I'm looking for many more."
He gave credit to some
good blocks which helped to
spring him loose on his TD
jaunts of 54 and 17 yards. On
the 54-yarder he reported, "I
just cut back and a real good
block by Bob Brown cut me
loose . . . after that just
speed and go."
The last one was a '44' trap
play and Willie praised line
men Ed Mitchell and Tyrone
Robertson for springing him
loose.
Spirit Good
Husker Dick Callahan, who
played his first game at left
half after only four days of
practice at the position, de
scribed the team spirit as
high and "if we keep going
like we are we will beat Syr
acuse."
Callahan, a sophomore from
Sioux Falls, S.D., was an all
state back in high school. He
reported that the defense was
new to him but that "they
didn't come my way very
much."
Senior tri-captain and cen
ter Mick Tingelhoff said their
line was pretty quick but that
"Big Bob Brown 'whipped'
their center a couple of
times."
He commented that the
team was up for this game.
"We were ready to go men
tally better than for the Ari
zona game."
Thornton Praises Searles
Thunder Thornton felt real
good about the win and has
Big 8 Play
from 4 yards out in the last
period for both Tiger touch
downs. Missouri, trailing 14-12, tried
a two-point conversion with
halfback Daryl Krugman run
ning right end. They suc
ceeded, tying the score 14-14.
Oklahoma State found little
trouble with Tulsa Saturday
and whipped them 26-0. Lead
ing the Cowboys to their vic
tory was Don Derrick who
snatched a Tulsa pass on the
Cowboy's five yard line to
halt the only Tulsa attempt
to score.

in route to his, third TD of
special praise for Kansas
State's Joe Searles.
Thornton who ripped the
Wildcat line for 100 yards
gained during the afternoon,
said that the reason he was
able to go the - right on the
end sweep better than in pre
vious weeks was because the
Huskers stopped pulling their
right guard.
The first time NU tried the
play the right guard was
pulled and a defensive man
shot through andj stopped
Thornton for a ldsst. After
that the guard was not pulled
and the play was onev of the
Huskers' most f ft fc t i v e
ground gainers. " ' '
' Dyer Happy
Dally Dyer, who made sev
eral tackles and recovered
the first K-State fumble, was
all smiles. "I love to win and
I felt this week we were go
ingto."
Dyer said that several of
the Huskers were playing
cards in a hotel Friday night
and talking about the game.
"We knew we were going to
beat them."
He praised K-State's -Spencer
Puis as a "good runner"
and said that their "linemen
were quick, but not excep
tionally strong."
"Our line charged better.
We played the same defense
as Arizona," the senior guard
added.

'The Galloping Hoss', 'Thunder
Spark in 24-0 Win over Wildcats
By Dave Wohlfarth
It's Ernie Davis vs. Bill
Thornton and . Willie Ross!
That's the match scheduled
for this Saturday at Nebras
ka's Memorial Stadium when
Syracuse tangles with the
Huskers.
Davis has proven his run
ning ability this fall and was
selected on most pre-season
All-American teams. He's the
key to the powerful Syracuse
ground game.
Thornton and Ross made
the headlines Saturday when
the shifty NU halfbacks ac
counted for 203 yards be
tween them as they led the
Huskers to a 24-0 win over
Kansas State at Manhattan.
Willie "The Galloping Hoss"
Ross personally accounted
for all three Nebraska touch
downs on scoots of one, 54
and 17 yards as the Huskers
smashed the . Wildcat's
dreams of a third straight
surprise victory.
Thornton Gains 100
"Thunder" Thornton re
gained his form of last year
and had his best day" of the
season. The powerful NU left
half ate up big yardage on
the Husker scoring drives as
he gained 100 yards in 14
carries. ; , '. v.
The NU backs were not the
whole show in the Band Day
game played before 19,500
fans; 1,000 of thenr rooting
for the Huskers. The staunch
white-shirted Husker line
opened the holes for the ram
bling NU runners and threw
up a defense which out
charged and stymied the
smaller K-Staters.
The massive NU front wall
turned in a different show
than against Arizona last

week. Kansas State gained

managed only 7 first downs.
Many Heroes
The Husker linemen heroes
were many on this sunny,
windy day. Dallas Dyer and
Mick Tingelhoff recovered
important fumbles for the
Huskers; Bob Brown smoth
ered many a midget Wildcat
back; tackles Bob Jones and
Gary Toogood came through
with their usual rugged tack
ling; ends Don Purcell and
Dick McDaniel were demons
on defense; Ed Mitchell and
Tyrone Robertson made some
key blocks; linebacker Bill
Comstock made some hard
hit tackles and sophomore
John Kirby looked good de
fensively. There were many more as
Coach Bill Jennings used his
entire traveling squad with
the exception of Dennis
Stuewe, who was held out
due to an ankle injury.
The win left the Huskers j
undefeated for the year with
two wins and a tie. K-State
has now won two and lost J
one. It was the first Big Eight"!
conference game for both i
teams. i
NU Scores Early '
The Huskers scored twice
early in the game after, re
covering K-State fumbles
deep in Wildcat territory. The
first score came on Ron
Meade's 41-yard field goal
and the second on Ross' one-
yard TD.
After being neid scoreless
the second period the Husk
ers roared back again with
Ross crossing the goal stripe,
in both the third and fourth
quarters for a 24-4 margin, j
i The most exciting moments ,
in the game came when Ross,
193-pound soph from Helena,
Ark., raced through left tack
le' then headed up the left
sidelines for a 54-yard scam
per. Once "The Hoss' was in
the open he just turned it on
and galloped away from the
K-State defenders.
Longest Drive
The run climaxed the Husk
ers' longest yardage march
in the fewest plays of the sea
son. The Huskers marched 79
yards in three plays the first
yracuse
time they got their hands on
tne ban in the third quarter.
After Ross returned the
second half kickoff 17 yards
to the NU 21, Thornton pow
ered through . the right side
and up the sidelines for 20
yards to the Nebraska 41.
On the next play soph full
back Rudy Johnson burst
through left guard for five,
then Ross took over. John
son, the most consistent
Husker runner all year, had
another good - day as he
gained 25 yards in "five car
ries, usually spinning up the
field, frontwards, sidewards
or backwards.
v Willie Scores Again
Ross' third touchdown of
the day was on a quick open
er through the center of the
line. Willie skipped through
for 17 yards and Meade's
third successful conversion of
the day gave the Huskers a
24-0, lead with 11:06 left in
the game.
This last Husker score
came after Thornton popped
ou a fumble by K-State's
Glenn Isernhagen on the
KS 17.
The Huskers had scored
the first two times they got
the ball in the game, On the
first K-State play from scrim
mage halfback Spencer Puis
fumbled and Husker guard
Dyer recovered on the K-S 20.
Field Goal Works
Johnson hit the right side
for five but the Husker of
fense bogged down and with
fourth and 21 on the Wildcat
31 Jennings sent Meade in
for a field goal attempt.
Meade, whose toe may hold
the secret to many Husker
victories this fall, split the
uprights with a 41-yard field
goal to put NU ahead 3-0
with only 2:58 played.
Kansas State fumbled again
and Tingelhoff pounced oh
Joe Searles' fumble on the
Kansas State 24. This time
the Huskers marched in to
score in five plays.
Husker Score
An offside penalty against
K-State made it first and five
on the KS 19. Thornton went
through right guard for a
first down on the 11, then
Ross swept left side for five
yards and quarterback Den
nis Claridge went straight
ahead on a keeper to the
KS 3.
Johnson banged through the
right side for a first and goal
on the Wildcat one and Ross
wheeled around left end and
into the end zone untouched.
The Husker defense kept
K-State runners bottled up all

quarter was a punting dual
between Nebraska's Archie
Cobb and Wildcat John Drew.
Long Pass Falls
The closest K-State came to
a score in the first half oc
cured when quarterback Lar
ry Corrigan faded back rom
his own 40 and threw a long
pass which Puis, who was all
alone behind the NU defense,
made a great try for but
could not control.
The passing game for both
teams was practically nil as
both Corrigan and Claridge
completed only one pass
each. Nebraska piled up 290
yards rushing and only seven
through the air.
The Husker third-stringers
played most of the last quar
ter after the first two units
had alternated throughout the
game.
Fullback Gene Young, who
made the trip due to senior
fullback Gene Ward's injury,
gained 15 yards In four car
ries, most of it banging' right
up the gut.
The Kansans made, their
only serious scoring attempt
late in the game when they
marched from their own 15
to the NU 16 before they lost
the ball on downs. Fullback
Bill Gallagher and half Al
Underwood were the big
gainers in the drive.
The fourth quarter was
spiced by a fight between
NU's Larry Donovan and
Wildcat Jack King. Both
players were ejected from
the game.
