The Indians, 5-0 in the conference, will go to the Rose Bowl for the first time in 19 years if they beat Washington next Saturday. Plunkett, Stanford's senior quarterback, became the first major college player in history to account for 7,000 yards when he threw a 70-yard touchdown pass to Jack Lasater in the first period. He threw two more touchdown passes as the Indians broke the game open in the second half. After suffering through three interceptions, a fumble three key penalties and failing on a fourth-down attempt at the Yale 10, Dartmouth finally broke the ice with three minutes left in the half.

Taking a short punt at the Yale 43, the Indians covered the yardage in five plays, with Brendan O'Neill slicing off the left side from the three for the touchdown. Cha-sey started the march with a 2 5 a strike to Darrel Gavle and on the play before the touchdown fullback Stu Simms smacked the middle for 10 yards on third-and-five.

Creed took a 33-yard Dickey pass in the second quarter. Kansas State had gone ahead in the opening period on a 23-yard field goal by John Goerger, who also converted after both Kansas State touchdowns.

Missouri, behind Chuck Roper's passing, made a fine bid to pull the game out at the end but time ran but with the Tigers on the Wildcats' 20. Kansas State almost took a 10-0 lead into the halftime intermission. With 59 seconds left, Pete Buha intercepted a Dickey pass and returned it 35 yards to the Kansas State 2.
