T Russell's hand will be in a cast to for six weeks. 9:14 Gus Johnson of the Bullets, sty- cloc mied all night by the tight New die York defense, assumed the hero's to a role with 14 seconds left in the 55 game when he sank two free the throws to give his team their B final margin of victory. The Bullet win washed out a fine performance , by the Knicks dynamic duo of Willis Reed and Walt Frazier, who scored 34 and 30 points respectively. Former Detroit Piston ace Ed- die Miles netted 25 for the Bul- lets while Kevin Loughery backed him up with 23. The Knicks trailed throughout the first half, battled back to knot the score, and finally lost the - heartbreaker on Johnson's pair of er i charity tosses. tors * Wings clipped St( ST.

DICKEY GUIDES KSU Nebraska set for tough test ---.(i> ti By KEN COHN There are presently only two Big Eight teams ranked in the top twenty, which, far from prov- ing the league's mediocrity, re- flects the usual internecine nature of conference play. Any one of five or six teams were given a chance to take the title in Sep- tember, and with just a few weeks left in the season, the dust has not yet settled. Tomorrow, two of the three re- maining contenders-the fourth- ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers and the 20-ranked Kansas State Wild- cast-will clash at Lincoln in a game which will very likely deter- mine a champion. Nebraska is 5-0 in Big Eight play (8-0-1) overall) while the Wildcats have a 5-1 con- ference mark. If the Huskers win, they will eliminate K-State and clinch a title tie, with the Okla- homa game a week later their only remaining obstacle. On the other hand, a Wildcatj victory tomorrow would probably result in a tie for the champion- ship between K-State and the winner of the Nebraska-Oklahoma game. Oklahoma would be best off if tomorrow's game ended a standoff; the Sooners would then have a dark-horse shot at an out- right championship. Meanwhile, Orange Bowl officials will be scratching their heads and trying: to seduce Ara Parseghian. Nebraska, despite an early-sea-j son tie with Southern Cal, remains a hopeful contender for the num- ber one spot in the polls. In the: last three games, the Huskers have averaged almost 50 points a game and last week bored Iowa State 54-29. Van Brownson has beer, the first-string quarterback since a clutch performance in the Kansas game a month ago, but Jerry Tagge is as experienced a back-up signal-caller as could be found anywhere. The dependable ground game is underpinned by the one-two punch of Joe Ordunadand Jeff Kinney with 1250 yards between them,! while compact speedsters Johnny Rodgers and Guy Ingles are the main aerial targets, with 29 and 28 receptions respectively. Two hundred-ten-pound middle guard Ed Periard and star line- backer Jerry Murtaugh have to- gether contributed 89 unassisted tackles to a defense that has given up more than two touchdowns in only one game. Coach Bob Devaney, though, recognizing the threat presented by the Wildcats, led by super- quarterback Lynn Dickey, said this week, "I'm glad we've got two outstanding quarterbacks because we are going to see one of the nation's and the Big Eight's best this week. K-State has a tremen- dous defensive unit, so we'll be facing as tough a team or tougher than any we've met all year." The Wildcats, 6-3 on the season, do not have quite the same incen- tive as Nebraska. Come what may, they will watch the bowl games on TV come New Year's Day. For years the doormat of the Big Eight, K-State, under the helm of Vince Gibson, has undertaken a massive recruiting and rebuilding program in the last three or four years. Gibson's success has been Pyrrhic; the NCAA last month slapped the team with a three- year probation for recruitment violations, forbidding attendance at any post-season games. The 'Cats were further crippled by the injury of the widely-ac- claimed Dickey; his sore ribs kept him out of two games and con- tributed to as many losses. But with a healthy Dickey, the Man- hattan maulers have come back strong with four straight wins, as they look for their first confer- ence crown since the early days of the old Big Six. "We haven't lost any desire be- cause of our inability to go to a bowl," maintains Coach Gibson. The K-State grid renaissance has produced an experienced team (23 seniors on the squad) alcng with an ample supply of fresh talent concentrated in the fresh- man team and this year's sopho- mores, 25 of whom were red- shirted this season. Dickey, despite his slow start, now ranks fourth among all quar- terbacks, past and present, in career pass completion and fifth in passing yardage, having thrown for over 5700 in three years. He holds a total of 11 Big Eight re- cords. Fullback Mike Montgomery leads the team in rushing and passes caught, while wingback Henry Hawthorne has rolled up 438 yards on receptions and has scored nine TD's. The Wildcats will be hurt by the loss of injured linebacker Os- car Gibson (no relation to Vince), but the defense continues to win the unanimous praise of the K- State coaches. Defensive end Mike Kuhn starred in last week's 28-15 triumph over Oklahoma State. aI game further marked by the 130- yard performance of running back Bill Butler. K-State has its work cut out for it, especially in the light of the numerous mental mistakes made by the offensive line against Ok- lahoma State. "Nebraska has a very good, solid football team."; comments Gibson "It's well-bal-I anced on offense, and has a prov- en defense." But he further expressed his confidence in the Wildcat's pros- pects. "We're very, optimistic, since we've always played well at; Lincoln (State beat the Huskers, there 12-0 two years ago(. So, we're not afraid to play there." don." .
