Injury, arrest hurts Tiger backfield
By Mike Reilley
Senior Reporter
It wasn't just the game that the Mis
souri Tigers lost when they dropped a
38-7 decision to Colorado in their Big
Eight Conference opener last week.
Not only did Missouri lose its fifth
game of the season, but their team's
leading rusher, tailback Darrell Wal

Saturday's game against Nebraska.

Early in the week, first-year Tiger

Thursday that Wallace had improved to

TILE PROS
The Buffalo Shills (0-6), rapidly
approaching preseason form, had just
one serious drive against New England
on Sunday. Several comical drives, but
only a single serious one. Currently
averaging 11 points a game, they left
with a 3-14 loss and the Bottom Ten
lead.
The biggest disappointment of the
season has been QB Vince Ferragamo,
obtained in the off-season from the
Rams, who reportedly felt he was too
tall for their offense. Ferragamo, whose
problems seem to increase the nearer
he is to Canada, threw an interception
for a touchdown to spark the loss.
Elsewhere, the Curse of Macumba,
the python hex against New Orleans
opponents, failed for the first time
when the Aints tumbled 13-23 to the
Raiders, whose animal mascot is Lyle
