Fumble Forced With 6:41 remaining in the same quarter, Colorado safety Dick Anderson slammed into Churchich and forced a fumble which was recovered by Buff mid dle guard Ron Scott at the Nebraska 15. Fullback Wil mer Cooks picked up a Co lorado first down four plays later at the Nebrask two. On the next play Kelly again called on Cooks with the result a touchdown. The extra point attempt by Far ler was wide to the right. Farler could dream about that one for years. Nebraska's attempt to move the ball fizzled on their own 45 and Joe Arm strong sailed a punt into the Colorado end zose. The Buffs then started a 80-yard drive which was cli maxed when Cooks bulled over from the one. Nebras ka received a break in that drive when a pass from Kelly to CU's speedy split end Larry Platz was com plete in the end zone but was nullified by an illegal receiver down field.

The Buffs faked the extra point kick and Kelly went sprinting around right end with the ball, but was knocked out on bounds at the one. The score remained 19-7 as the half ended. New NU Team It was the same Nebras ka team that took the field in the second half, but in appearance only.

With fourth and one to go for a touchdown Churchich attempted a keep er over left tackle, but met opposition right at the goal line.

"We all know we scored then," said Church ich after the game, "a n d when they didn't give it to us, we only tried harder." Trailing 19-7 with 13:13 left in the game, the Hus kers initiated a touchdown drive from their own 37.

Mis Sooner End Rocks Awaj Headaches An old red rocking chair in room 206 of Washington House is swingirg up a storm this week. Ben Hart owns it. And Ben Hart's rocking in it. You can hear its creak up and down the halls of the dorm housing the Oklahoma football team. Because Hart, Coach Jim Mackenzie's split end, is a rocking man. He's also a worrying man. He worries before Oklahoma games. He worries after them, too. "Thinking about the mis takes I've mad e." And when he worries, he has to rock. I'm a nervous individual," Ben explains. "Lots of thoughts go through my mind. When I get to worry ing about our games, I get these tension headaches." Then's w h e n I hunt my rocking chair. After I rock awhile, I start relaxing." Hart's rocker, an old plat form job with red tweed upholstery, is only one of many he has owned. He's worn out a half dozen through the years. Just worrying and rocking. And rocking and worrying. 0 1 d rockin' chair's got him. What does he do when Oklahoma goes on the road and he can't take that old chair with him? "I just rock back and forth where ever I'm sitting. On t h e team plane, or in our play er meetings, or anywhere in our team hotel." Ben rocking quietly back and forth has been a famil iar sight to Sooner teams the last three seasons. Hart can rock in any kind of an old chair, just so it's hard and stiff.
