Defensively, the Blackshirts weie facing a proven Cowboy offensive attack that had averaged over 400 yarcis a game. Nebraska held the wishbone offense to 294 yards, forced six fumbles and recovered three of them. Oklahoma State's only sustained drive came in the second quarter when it drove 52 yards in 11 plays and faced a fourth and goal situation at the Nebraska one yard line. It scored when halfback Leonard Thompson dived for the goal line, and the official signaled the touchdown. But Dutton said the call by the official was a "very close one." "Some of the sideline people said he wa: n'l over," he said. Dutton was credited with seven tackles against the Cowboys. Middle guard John Bell, who had 13 tackles, agreed with Dutton that the touchdown was questionable. 'There was a pileup, and the whistle blew, and then it seemed like he went over," he said. On the bus ride from Lewis Fiehi to the Stillwater Municipal Airport, O'leaiy was another frustrated Cornhusker. He was the starting l-hack against the Cowboys, but in the first quarter he strained some ligaments in his left knee. He didn't play in the second half. O'Leary summed up Nebraska's 111 conference record by shaking his head and saying, "We just keep beating ourselves." oofc 13th & P Under the Douglas III 2:30 -5:30 M - F Till 9:00- Thur. 10.00- 6: 30 Sat. i !
