Nebraska Escapes In Demoraiizing Victory; 27-17

Stein had reason to quit.
In the opening period t h e
Air Force defensive unit spent
the bulk of their time trying
to bring down Frank Solich
as the abbreviated Husker
traveled overland for 110
yards and two touchdowns.
Solich's effort helped pile up
a prodigious 230 yard Nebras
ka offensive thrust good for a
21-0 first period bulge.
If the last three periods had
been anything like the first
one, Stein never would have
gotten his chance.
The first quarter was played
as if a routine had been
worked out between the Husk
ers and the Falcons. The Air
Force would give Nebraska
the ball and watch Solich
run. Nebraska would give Air
Fort e the ball for a f e w
minutes so Solich could be
with the team. (Otherwise,
Flyin' Frankie might have
been the loneliest man on the
field, running by himself as he
did most of the time.)

pigskin and Solich would

kid stealing the ball from all

i ter. As the second period
began, Nebraska began to lose
its breath in the thin air of
the Colorado mountains, just
as I lost mine charging up 84
rows to the dizzy heighth the
press box.
Now it was Stein's turn. For
the late comers the last three
quarters may have looked
like the upset of the week.
Nebraska defenders spent
most of the late afternoon
chasing down Stein, or his re

Rest of Big 8
In other Big Eight action
the conference could muster
only one win against their in-
tersectional rivals.
Kansas made too many
first-half mistakes in their
15-23 encounter with Arizona.
The visitors capitalized on
these mistakes for two touch
downs and a field goal be
fore Kansas got going behind
t w o unheralded reserves,
halfback Richard Abernathy
and quarterback Bill Fenton
who figured in on both touch
downs. Jayhawker halfback Sims
Stokes tied a conference
mark for game receptions
when he pulled in nine, one
a 41-yard touchdown strike
from Fenton.
Sandy Buda added a first
half 25-yard field goal for the
rest of the Jayhawker's scor
ing. Pittsburg came up with a
13-9 victory over Oklahoma
behind two touchdown passes
by Pitt quarterback Kenny
Lucas. Lucas connected with
42 seconds left in the half to
put the game out of the Soon
er's reach.
The Sooners held the statis
tics margin over Pitt but were
unable to convert it to a vic
tory advantage.
