ka's disastrous 14-6 loss to
Oklahoma State Saturday.
The Huskers will face
mighty Mizzou, defending Big
tight champ and unbeaten
this year, next Saturday at
Columbia, the home fort of
the Tigers. A troop of NU
fans is expected to make the
trip, which has been sup
ported by the student body
as the annual Husker migra
tion.
The Huskers will have to
Improve their punchiest scor
in attack If they want to
stay In the ball game with
the Tigers. It was this lack
of some scoring push which
cost the Huskers the Okla
homa State game, the second
straight loss for Nebraska.
The last-place Cowboys took
advantage of a big break and
the Huskers' inability to score
when opportunity knocked to
upset Nebraska before 25,000
homecoming fans at Still
water. Like Last Year
The game had the same ap
pearance as last year's 74 0
State win over the Huskers
in Lincoln. Outplayed most of
the game the Cowpokes re
covered a fumble late in the
game and marched in to score
then added the extra point
for a 7-6 win.
Again this year a break
was the turning point of the
game for Oklahoma State.
With Nebraska leading 6-0
midway throught the third
quarter, Oklahoma State was
forced to punt on a fourth
down on their own 40. Husker
safety Willie Ross hobbled
Dave Hannah's punt on the
NU 12 and the ball bounded
back to the one where Cow
poke end Tommy Ward re
covered. Fullback Bob Adcock bulled
over on the next Play and
Bill Comstdck recovered for
Nebraska on the OSU 44.
Dennis Stuewe picked up 11
yards, than hit the left side
for six more to the OSU 26.
Thornton plowed for three
and Dennis Claridge sneaked
for a first and ten on the
OS 18.
On the next play Claridge
made a beautiful fake to
Thornton who plowed into the
line and was tackled. Cla
ridge, meanwhile bootlegged
the ball to the right and fired
a strike to end Dick McDaniel
in the end zone for the Hus
ker's only score of the day.
Nebraska led 6-0 after the ex
tra point failure with 9:29
left in the first half.
A great goal-line stand by
the Huskers preserved the
lead before the halftime in
termission. The Cowboys
marched 69 yards to the NU
2 before Dillard was stopped
short on a fourth down try
at the end zone.
Purcell. Dallas Dyer, Rudy
Johnson, Ross and warren
Powers made some key stops
In slowing the OSU drive
which was stoped with only
10 seconds left in the f I r s t
half.
Two other Husker drives
were stalled by miscues. In
the first quarter they had
marched to the OSU 42 but
fumbled and in the third
quarter they took a kickoff,
trailing 7-6, and with Thorn
ton and Pat Clare banging
out the yardage, made it as
far as the OSU 16 where they
had the ball with a second
down and one to go.
NU Stopped Again
A pass from Claridge in
tended for Purcell was incom
plete and on the next play
NU was offside. Thornton was
caught for his only loss of the
day and. another incomplete
pass stopped the Huskers.

Nebraska Cagers Start
Second Week of Drills
Nebraska's varsity basket
ball squad starts its second
week of workouts today with
six seniors, three juniors and
seven sophomores on hand.
Al Buuck is the only eager
not to return. Buuck did not
return to school. It is still
doubtful that Jan Wall will
see much action because of
injuries received in a sum
mer auto accident.
Coach Jerry Bush said that
the men seem very anxious
and are working very hard.
He also commented that the
team has depth in all positions.

Victorious;
NU Loses
The Nebraska cross coun
try team fell to defeat at the
hands of a strong Colorado
team 23-26 Saturday on the
windy three mile hili-and-dale
course in Pioneers Park.
Ray Stevens, Husker junior,
finished first with a 15:09 to
remain undefeated in the cur
rent cross country season.
The blond runner from North
Platte finished a good 30
yards ahead of second place
Bob Griffith of Cblorado,
timed in 15:15.
Colorado, fielding an all
sophomore squad, . also
notched third and fourth
places with Steve McBrain
and Mike McCoy clocked in
15:31 and 15:34, respectively.
Husker soph John Portee
fell over the finish line for
fifth position with a 15:36.
Buff Dick Faust followed
closely for sixth in 15:36 and
J i m Lewis of Nebraska
ranked seventh with a 15:39.
Bruce Degan, Tom Starr
and Bill Sproat, all of Colo
rado, finished eighth, ninth
and 10th, respectively. Ne
braska finished 11th, 12th and
13th with Stuart Tucker, Clar
ence Scott and Paul Nielsen.
Ironically, the whole field
was sophomores except for
Stevens and Scott, juniors,
and Nielsen, a senior.
Nebraska's Bill Kenny was
sidelined with an injured
Achilles tendon. He expects
to start working out today, he
said.
In the previous meets the
Huskers placed second at a
t r i angular at Manhattan
against Colorado and Kansas
State and won a triangular
over Drake and Iowa State in
their second outing.
Next week the harriers will
travel to Missouri for the last
dual of the season. After Mis
souri, the AAU in Omaha and
the Big Eight Conference in

meets remaining.
