But the flowers began to wilt as 38,000 fans sat in awe while the Cornhuskers were rolling up an impressive vic tory, 40-16, to stay within range of the Orange Bowl. With a 7-1 record the Husk ers played clean football mi nus the costly fumbles, inter ceptions and penalties of the previous week in a dismal showing against Missouri. Next week the Huskers were supposedly going to have a "vacation" against Oklahoma State before the last game of the season against Oklahoma. O-State Wins But Oklahoma State whip ped Army, 12-7, last Satur day, which rules them out as a pushover. It was simply a question of the Cornhuskers getting the jump on the Jayhawks whose defensive line left much to be desired. Nebraska simply kept driv ing into the middle and left side of the KU line to roil up a 32-0 halftime lead, leav ing the Kansas boys in be wilderment and literally no chance for a comeback vie tory. Not Much Passing The passing game, which had been the NU forte, early in the season, was used very little as the Huskers threw only three passes through the entire game. Willie Ross led the tremen dous rushing game by scor ing three touchdowns on runs of four, 26, and 32 yards in carrying the ball 12 times for 111 yards. The Nebraska defense also had a big hand in the offensively-minded game. Sayers Gains 107 Gale Sayers, Omaha Cen tral product, was held to 107 yards in 15 carries after roll ing up 200 plus yards several times this season. The defense also thwarted any Kansas momentum by forcing a fumble and inter cepting a Jayhawk pass in the explosive first period. The main Jayhawk offen sive threat was through the air as it gained 149 yards much of which was in the last period.

Ross and Warren Powers split the running assignments, consistently whipping through holes in the center of the line. Ross ended the 68-yard march by going over right tackle for the touchdown from four yards out. Claridge for Two Dennis Claridge, who engi neered the Husker drives beautifully, added two more points by going over the right side of the line on the con version. After KU picked up its only first down of the half on its first play, a penalty bog ged down the Kansas drive and the Jayhawks were forced to punt. The Huskers took the ball on their own 22 and marched all the way in much the same manner as the first TD drive. Ross Scores Bill (Thunder) Thornton, Gene Young and Dave Thei sen moved the ball to the Kansas 32 where Ross went through the right side and cut to the outside, following his blockers beautifully, to score the second Nebraska TD with 1:56 left in the first quarter. Uandge threw his first pass of the game to Larry Tomlinson for the two-point conversion. After the kickoff Roger Mc Farland threw a pass to Gale Sayers in the center of the field. But John Kirby, NU guard tipped the ball into the hands of Doug Tucker, who played his best game of the season, who ran the ball back 26 yards to the Kansas 16. Denny Scores Four plays later Nebraska had its third score of the con test as Claridge jumped over the center of the line from the one on the first play of the second quarter. This time it was Thornton who slipped over for the two point conversion. And once again the Husk ers scored the next time they had the ball. McCloughan's Turn Kent McCloughan got his revenge on Sayers as he knifed for 14 yards before turning on the speed from the 20 and scoring two plays lat er. Thornton picked up anoth er two-point conversion with 11 minutes left in the half. Nebraska had another strong drive going late in the half, but after the Huskers threw their three passes for the day (only one of which was complete), the drive ended. The second half offered lit tle except for the Nebraska fans with white cowboy hats and two of them dressed like Huskie the Husker. Once Again Even though the Huskers had a commanding lead, they marched for their final touchdown after the opening kifrfoff Starting for the KU 27, NU promptly inarched to paydirt in 11 plays as Ross capped the drive with 9:18 left in the third quarter on a 26-yard scamper. A Claridge-to-McCloughan pass ended the scoring for the Huskers as the two com bined for the two-point con version. Too Late for KU Kansas outplayed Nebraska statistically in the second half, but it was just too late. The Jayhawks scored with 4:58 remaining in the third quarter as McFarland threw to Armand Baughman, who made a beautiful catch, for the TD. McFarland ran into the end zone, for the two point conversion. Closing out the scoring with 2:08 left in the game, Kansas started on its own 21 and completed the drive with a 15-yard scoring pass from Brian Palmer, a third string quarterback, to end Andy Graham. Ll&d Buzz skipped over for the two-pointer. Both of t'se Kansas scores came on fourth down plays. Wonderous Willie Ross On the Prowl I T X 4 Robertson FOJ Ytr ft 'tw 'tJ4 Ez-i? A RosS (N) iHQ -X: !

Melton's Rampaging Freshmen End Season With Help of Lebsach's Arm in 33-0 Victory Nebraska's freshman foot ballers wrapped up their sec ond victory and their season last Friday with a 33-0 trounc ing of Iowa State at Ames. The Husker yearlings had previously shut out the Kan sas State frosh, 31-0. The Cy clones had been stopped, 21-0, by Missouri earlier in t h e season. Coach John Melton's year ling defense proved too much for the Cyclone squad and the most impressing factor of the game. The Huskers held Iowa State to a mere 117 yards. NU's offensive was sparked by the passing arm of Lin coln's Dave Lebsack. Lebsack connected with 9 of 14 at tempts for 129 of the Huskers total 294 yards. Jeter, White Snare Tony Jeter and Fremean White, top end prospects, were Lebsack's number one and two targets. Jeter grabbed three for 59 yards while White, 6-5 Detroit pro duct, snared four for 42 yards. The winning frosh managed to score twice in the first period and added one score in each following frame. Fleming Tops Individuals But Colorado Takes Crown Bv JAX SACK Sports Staff Writer Colorado won the Big Eight Cross Country team cham pionship at Ames, la., Satur day, but Nebraska had the top two individual men in Mike Fleming and Ray "Skip" Stevens. Fleming toured the three mile hill-and-dale course in 14:53, a record for the new route over the George Veen ker Memorial golf course. Husker coach Frank Se vigne said, "Mike won with no effort." On Stevens' second place finish at 15:01, Sevigne Bowlers Lose To Kansas The Husker bowling team dropped a ZVz-k decision to the Kansas rollers Saturday morning. The Jayhawks were led by Terrel Hays' 244 game and 644 series. Nebraska rolled team games of 934, 983, and 923 for a three game total of 2840. The Husker points came when they tied the Jayhawks 983 all a game which would have won either of the other two games. The Huskers and their series: Phil Schenck, 539; Ralph DeLong, 514; Bob Houser, 560; Hal Erwin, 571; and Captain Keith Van Vel kinburgh, 596. "The boys shot well, but just ran into a hott" team," said Coach Jim Hornby. commented, "He looked real good." Sevigne was pleased with the entire performance of the Nebraska squad which placed third with 76 points. This is a big improvement over seventh place last year with 150 points. Nebraska's other vital point-getters were Larry Toothaker who copped 20th, Bill Kenny 23rd and Stuart Tucker 30th in a field of 72 men. Colorado's runners were tightly packed together with Bob Griffith leading the at tack and finishing ninth with a 15:19. Teammate Bruce Degan was 10th at 15:20 and the other three counters fin ished 13th, 13th and lGth. The Buffs won with a team score of 60. Other top individual show ings include Pat McN e a 1, Kansas State, third at 15:05; George Cabrera, Kansas, fourth in 15:06: Paul Aceve do, Kansas, fifth at 15:07; Charles Hayward, Kansas, sixth at 15:10; Roy Bryant, Missouri, seventh at 15:11 and Harry Ray, Missouri, eighth at 15:6. Team scores: 1. Colorado 60 2. Kansas 63 3. Nebraska 76 4. Missouri 85 5. Oklahoma 115 6. Kansas State 123 7. Oklahoma State 167 8. Iowa State 198 Ted Vactor, speedy half back, opened the NU scoring when he ran in from the Iowa State four yard line. A 35 yard, Lebsack to Jeter pass set up the counter. Vac tor made the count 7-0 when his kick sailed between the uprights. Senkbeil Pirates Alert second unit guard, Lynn Senkbeil, who turned in one of the finer defensive per formances of the afternoon pirated a Cyclone pass late in the first frame and re turned it 47 yards for the second Husker score. The Huskers continued onslaught, when. a. 55-yard punt return by Ron Pogge meyer of Nebraska City kept the yearlings rolling. The half closed with Ne braska holding a 19-0 edge. Just Five First Downs Nebraska managed to give the Cyclones only 5 first downs the first one on a penalty. They also gave Coach Melton his 22nd straight freshman football victory. Melton managed 20 victories at Wyoming before coming to Nebraska last year. A 57-yard Cyclone screen pass to speedster Dave Mont gomery brought the Iowa State crew into Nebraska ter ritory the only time in the afternoon. The attack ended at the NU 27 and the Huskers scored 10 plays later. Lebsack Passes Three 13-yard Lebsack passes set up Nebraska's fourth score with fullback Stan Farar pushing it over from the Cyclone one. Lebsack again sparked for the final Husker tally. A 24 yard toss to Vactor was good to end the Nebraska scoring. Vactor is the top NU rusher. Melton managed to clear the Husker bench utilizing all 49 players.' Fifteen NU backs received ball carrying experi ence.

Visiting Husker fans were delighted to hear Jayhawk fans say: "Kansas has never been so ineffective. Nebraska is good. We're all for NU. They should get a bowl bid." The Huskers gained no ground on Oklahoma and Mis souri, however, as both clubs remained undefeated in league play. Oklahoma had no difficulty with Iowa State, defeating them, 41-0, at Ames. All that need be said about the Soon ers' effectiveness is that they scored the first s i x times they got the ball and led at halftime, 35-0. Missouri had even less trouble with Colorado, beat ing them. 57-0, at Columbia. Johnny Roland carried the ball only eight times, but scored three touchdowns. The Oklahoma State C o w boys distinguished themselves and the Big Eight by out inarching the Cadets of West Point. 12-7. The Cowpokes had been a three-touchdown underdog. The Cadets scored on a 40 yard run by Ray Waldrop in the first five minutes, but the Cowboys came back with two touchdowns in the second quarter to complete the up set. State's first touchdown came on a 24-yard pass thrown by the Big Eight's leading passer, Mike Miller. The winning touchdown came after Tommy Jackson inter cepted a pass on the Army 40 and ran to the Cadet 9. The Kansas State Wildcats almost escaped a winless sea son, but they lost to Arizona, 14-13. Kansas State lost when Arizona deflected the KS pass attempt for a two-point con version late in the fourth wuarter. Standi mgs CONFERENCE W L T Pet. Pts.
