Huskers must win for bowl hid
Only one yard and a goal line fumbld'
away from being 4-3, Nebraska heads
west to Boulder with their ninth place
rating intact.
The Huskers still have hopes of
securing a major bowl bid If they can
keep winning until the Oklahoma
showdown. Colorado would have to win
the remainder of their games In order to
be considered for any postseason action.
Hopefully that dream will evaporate
this Saturday. The predictions for this
week's game:
Nebraska 27, Colorado 14
Husker fans might start throwing a
few oranges if Nebraska wins big In this
regionally televised game. Buff parti
sans won't be able to hurl their
traditional greetings unless it snows
before Saturday.
Oklahoma 59, Icwa Stats 10
Iowa State officials would be wise to
bring in a fire truck late Friday night
and water down their football field for
about three hours. Otherwise they'll be
just another humiliated victim in the
.Sooners' drive to the top.
Oklahoma State 3lj Kansas 20
The Jayhawks have gone into a
prolonged nosedive since their upset
win over Texas A&M and their once
enthusiastic fans have gone back to
cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Cowboys have suffered some
disheartening losses this year but this
won't be another one.
Missouri 17, Kansas State 7
Fans in Manhattan should be treated
to. a low-scoring defensive battle Satur
day. That Is,, if anyone comes to the
' game.-
Ohio State 37, Illinois 13
The Buckeyes are playing a better
.than average team in llliniois but won't
be sidetracked on their way to the
Michigan game.
Florida 14, Auburn 10
Most people can't name one player
from this year's Auburn team, which Is
peculiar since they are the fourth rated,
team in the country. Florida will upset
the Tigers and knock them back to 14th,
where they belong, ' -

This game could result In an upset but
probably not since' the Razorbacks
offense seems to desert them whenever
they play Southwest Conference teams.
Alabama 40, Mississippi State 7
The Crimson Tide keeps plugging
along, waiting for Oklahoma and Ohio

Bear Bryant's boys will lose before the
Sooners or Buckeves do. But not this
one. '

Monday Nebraska's tM-Cfose-for-com-fort.
7-3 win over - Oklahoma State
Saturday was an attitude booster for the
Cernhusker team.
He said although Nebraska's win
could not be considerd an artistic
success it was good for player character
and attitude to "win a close one."
"Defense was the dominant came
factor," Osborne told the Extra Point
Club. He praised the Nebraska black
shirts for their performance.
"I'm not totally satisfied with their
efforts, however'Osborne said. He said
the defense had trouble getting the bail
until early in the second quarter.
Osborne credited Ardell Johnson for a
fine defensive performance.
"In fact, he had one (big play) more
than he got credit for, he said,
referring to Johnson's simultaneous
sideline Interception attempt with an
OSU receiver.
be
"Along with flrre performances by
Bob Nelson and Bob Martin, the whole
defensive unit had a good game."
Osborne said he was disappointed
with the Husker offense.
"We actually averaged more yards
per play against OSU. than we did
against Kansas," Osborne said. "How
ever, we only had the ball for 58 snap3."
Osborne said people tend to forget
that Oklahoma State has the third
strongest defense In the nation.
Osborne stressed the uncertainty of
this week's game with Colorado.
Sophomore halfback Billy Waddy will
be tough to contain," he said. Dave
Logan, probably one of the Big 8's be3t
football players, may not play because
of an Injury, he went on.
, The Nebraska-Colorado contest will
be televised regionally. Kick-off time is
noon, mountain standard time, 1 p.m.

Gymnasts lose to ISU
By Larry Stunkel . .
Defending national gymnastics champion Iowa
State University (ISU) captured five of seven
events Saturday, en route to a 214.15 to 212.5
decision- over the UNL gymnastics team at the
Coliseum. L
Freshman Larry Gerard and Sophomore Gary
Juerlnk won the high bar and vaulting events,
respectively, for the Huskers' only firsts.
Husker coach Francis Allen said his best men
performed well, but the team's showing in the
floor exercise and still rings events hurt the effort.
West Injured
An injury ot Duane West early in the week made
what Allen called "a big difference in the floor
exercise event."
Both junior Gene Mackie and senior Pete
Studenski fell during their still rings routines,
Allen said, but they got scores of 8.8 and 9.05,
respectively.
"They both came back after they fell," Allen
said. "They reacted fast. without having to think
about It, which is what we want them to do."
Saturday's meet was Mackie's first appearance
since an injury sidelined him last fall.
'Coaching error'
"Gene had a lot of pressure on him," Allen
said, "There was a coaching error on my part in
the pommel horse for letting Gene do the routine
he did. It was a hard routine, I should have given
him something easier."
Mackie was competing with ISU standout Mark
Graham for the all-around title. Graham captured
the title despite falls in the pommel horse and high
bar events.
ISU coach Ed Gagnier said he wasn't pleased
wth ?pme of the errors his team made, but noted ,
ha had to be satisfied with beating "a team as
good as Nebraska,"
"Neither team was in midseason form,"
Gagnier said. "Every man on my team had some
pressure on him, especially the three freshmen
athletes I used."
Freshmen used
Gagnier added that Saturday was one of the first
times he had used freshmen extensively.
In addition to Gerard, Allen said he was pleased
with the performances of two other first-year
Husker performers. Junior transfer Dave Schulte
placed second in the parallel bars with a score of
9.1 and freshman Mike Cosgrove took'third in the
pommel horse with an 8.Q5 mark.
Gary Duff's 9.15 score won second place in the
parallel bars. Steve Dickey placed second in the
pommel horse with a score of 9.3.
The Husker gymnasts travel to Lawrence, Ks.
for the Big 8 invitational Saturday.
