Uncercogs:
Nebraska Migrates
To Meet Buffaloes
For the first time this season,
Nebraska's Cornhuskers' will be
rated as underdogs in a conference
battle. The Colorado Buffaloes,
their Saturday opponents have won
three Big Seven games in a row
and right now are tabbed the team
to beat for a Orange Bowl berth.
Nebraska has surprised the Buffs
the last two years mainly because
of Willie Greenlaw and will be
trying fiercely to turn the truck
of the third straight time.
Besides Greenlaw only 12 other
Husker lettermen are making the
trip. The Buffaloes on the other
hand have 20 lettermen back from
last year.
Among the stars from last year's
game that are missing from the
Nebraska camp are Don Erway,
still eligible but injured; Rex
Fischer; John Edwards; George
Cifra; and a pair of topflight ends
in LeRoy Butherus and Jon Mc
Williams. The addition of new sophomores
and some junior-college transfers
make the Huskers about on the
eame level.
A team of 36 Huskers and the
coaching staff leave Lincoln this
Boulder and the all important Colo
rado tussle. The Huskers must
win at Boulder if they are to re
main in contention for another trip
to Miami on January 1. A loss
almost puts them out as they will
have two conference losses and
still will have Kansas, Missouri
and Oklahoma left on the schedule.
Don Rhoda, junior letterman,
from York, is the only Husker who
will be forced to sit out the -contest.
"The Horse" was injured in
the second half against Indiana
last week and the injury lias not
healed enough for the-big guy to
play. Rhoda was with' the second
unit at left guard behind LaVerne
Torczon. His place in the lindup
will be taken by Ernie English,
the big sophomore from New Or
leans, Louisana. English had been
playing tackle but was shifted aft
er Rhoda's injury. '
. Otherwise the only doubtful
Husker will be George Harshman
first team quarterback, who sat
out last Saturdays game, with a
case of the flu. Harshman is mak
ing the trip and should see lim
ited action although he may not
he at full strength. Harshman
worked out lightly for the first
time on Wednesday.
The Buffs are already hollering
about Greenlaw who so far this
year hasn't lived up to expecta
tions. He sat out the first game
with a leg injury and nw only
limited action the second contest.
Since then the Portland, Maine,
senior, has had his ups and downs.
Early this week Greenlaw aggra
vated his leg injury but will be
ready for tomorrows contest, "vro
years ago Greenlaw led the H isk
ers to a 20-6 win in Boulder. He
down and had another called back
because of a penalty. Last season
beofre a capacity crowd here in
Lincoln he thrilled the fans with
two long TD runs in about a three
minute period. With the Huskers
leading by one touchdown still r
early In the game Willie raced
48 yards for one touchdown and
minutes later he pirated a Colo
rado pass and raced down the side
lines 95 yards to put Nebraska
into a 21-0 lead which Colorado
was unable to overcome.
Pete Elliott the Husker head
mentor will probably start tne
same unit of men who got the call
Jast Saturday.
Marlin Hilding and Mike Lee once
again get the call at the end 'po
sitions. Hilding has been looking

very good in the early contests
and is the leading Husker pass
receiver. He has caught four tos
ses for 71 yards. Lee also has
looked good. The Grand Island
Sophomore has caught 2 Nebras
ka passes this year. At the tackles
Elliott will start Don Kampe and
Jack Fleming.
Kampe has been drawing praise
from the coaches for his fine de
fensive play. Fleming, this week's
Star of the Week, will be playing
his last game against the Buffs
and wants to make it a winning
effort. He has been outstanding
the Jast couple of weeks.
Co-captains LaVerne Torczon
and Jim Murphy continue to lead
the Husker guards. Both of these
fellows have been stalwarts
throughout the early part of the
season. Elliott says you never have
to worry about them as they will
always make a good performance.
The ether co-captain Bob Ber
guin again gets the nod at center.
Berguin has been playing his us
ual brand of ball at center. He
played two games under a lot of
pressure with Max Kitzelman, his
understudy, on the sidelines and
should be able to relax now and be
even more efficient.
The starting quarterback slot
seems to be undecided at this time.
Either Harshman or sophomore
Roy Stinnett will get the nod. If
Harshman is fully recovered from
the flu he will probably open but
if not at full strength Stinnett will
start. Stinnett played this position
in the early stages of the season
and at times looks very good. He
has completed 10 of 16 passes
so far this "year. Stinnett is also
the leading Husker punter.
Frank Na'ppi will start at left
halfback, for the second straight
week. Nappi looked especially good
last Saturday against the Hoosiers.
He is a fine runner and an excel
lent passer. The Portland, Maine,
junior .also is a good defensive
man.
Sophomore Larry Naviaux con
tinues to get the nod at the start
ing right halfback post. Naviaux
ranks second on the team in rush
ing with 266 yards gained in 44
tries for a average of 6:0 yards
per carry. Naviaux also .Is sec
ond in scoring with 17 points.
Jerry Brown of Minden the lead
ing ball barrier on the team again
gets the call at fullback. 'Brown,
who played guard last year, has
gived every opponent to date
many headaches with his hard
running. Brown is leading in the
scoring race with 18 points.
The second Husker unit finds
Clarence Cook and Howard McVay
at the end .positions. This pair
of first year men have done a
very good job to date.
Jerry Peterson and Jerry Wheel
er anchor the tackle spots.
Peterson had a lineman's dream
come true against Ohio State when
he blocked a punt and scored a
touchdown. Wheeler started the
campaign with the first unit nd
still is pressing Fleming. Both fel
lows are juniors.
Ernie English and Art Klein are
at guard on the second team. Eng
lish the sophomore moves to this
post from tackle. He is a very
promising man and should be n
capable replacement for the in
jured Rhoda. Klein, a letterman

Weak pass defense ...
The Cornhuskers will certainly have to work on pass defense if they
expect to come out on top in any one of their remaining games. With
news of Indiana's success in the airwaves floating around the Big
Seven, you can be sure to see a lot more aerials thrown against
Nebraska. One thing I can't figure out is why the ends weren't
rushing the passer last Saturday. There is hardly any defense against
a short pass except rushing the passer and trying to upset his timing.
Gene Cichowski of Indiana had all day to pick out his receivers.
Disappointing? ...
Rumors have been floating around campus that a group of migrat
ing students have intentions of selling their Nebraska-Colorado tickets
and spend the game time in Tulagi's guzzling beer and watching
Oklahoma tangle with Notre Dame on television. I'm afraid that this
is impossible. Both Tulagi's and
Buffaloes and Cornhuskers fight it
Elliott popular ...
It seems that a new fad has hit the campus. A pretty young coed
approached the sportswriters at the Rag yesterday and asked that we
print different pictures of Pete Elliott each week. It seems that Pete
outrates Rock Hudson here on the campus.
Sooners eyeing first win ...
Oklahoma will be going after another first this Saturday, that
being their first win over the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. The
Sooners are a three touchdown favorite to hand the Irish their fourth

three week total shows Bob Wiirz
the lead all by himself with 41
winners and three ties.
This week the top game pits Lor
as College against Platteville State.
Platteville boasts an unbeaten rec
ord of five wins and goes into this
game a slight favorite. Last year
the staters defeated Loras. 40-13,
but are expected to have a much
tougher game on their hands this
time. Loras has been pointing to
wards this game all season with
revenge in their minds so the fire
works should really fly.
Here in the B'g Seven, Nebraska
travels to Colorado for the make
or break game. Colorado is rated a
the favorite in this contest but the
Cornhuskers are expected to give
them a real battle. An upset is
very much in the wind.
Powerful Oklahoma is highly fa
vored to hand Notre Dame its
fourth loss of the season. The
Sooners have too much depth for
the Fighting Irish who have been
hampered by injuries all year. It
looks like Oklahoma by three
touchdowns or better.
Iowa State will probably absorb
its sixth loss of the year as they
tangle with the Tigers at Colum
bia. The heartbreaking losses to
Nebraska and Kansas followed by
their thumping at the hands of
Colorado will be too much for them
to overcome. Missouri has been
improving with every game and
should have no trouble.
Kansas State is traveling to Wy
oming for their game with the Sky
line conference leaders. Wyoming
is having its usual fine season again

Luck Again
this year and is picked as the fa
vorite by the staff. Kansas State,
however, should make an interest
ing game of it.
Oklahoma A&M is entertaining
Kansas in an intersectional con
test. The game is rated as a toss
up as both teams appear to be
equal in strength. The staff has
gone four and two on this game
favoring Kansas but is quite re
luctant in doing so.
The top game in the Big Ten
play finds-Iowa traveling to Purdue
The Hawkeyes will be trying to de
fend their unbeaten record this
Saturday and will be goind so
against one of the top teams in
the Big Ten. The staff has gone
fifty-fifty on this game with either
team capable of winning.
Another Big Ten contest has
powerful Michigan against an im
proving Minnesota team. The game
figures to be a tough battle for
the first half but Michigan's re
serves will probably wear the Go
phers down. The staff goes five
to one for Michigan.
Ohio State is expected to get
back on the winning trail against
Wisconsin after last week's stun
ning upset at the hands of Penn
State. Wisconsin won't be able to
contain the fighting mad Buckeyes.
It is unanimous for Ohio State.
Michigan State which has taken
over the number one spot in the
national football ratings is highly
favored to push Illinois all over
the field. The Spartans have depth
at every position and should wear
down the Fighting Illini very early.
The game of the doormats pits
Northwestern against Indiana.
Both teams have shown some
strength in recent games. The staff
is four and two for Northwestern
on the strength of their tie with
Minnesota two weeks ago.
Down south, Baylor and Texas
A&M square off in one of the top
battles in the country. Both teams
are ranked in the top ten. The

'staff picks A&M five to one on
the strength of the showing they
made last week in defeating TCU
but anything might happen in this
game.
Miami travels to TCU in another
close one. Miami was surprised
last week in its tie with Georgia so
they will really be up for this one.
By the same token, TCU was up
set last week by Texas A&M, 7-,
and want to get back in the winning
votes TCU to whip the Hurricanes
in a close battle.
For the third close game in the
South, the staff picks Mississippi
to down Arkansas. . Both teams
have beaten some of the per
rennial powers in the South and ap
pear ready to battle each other.
Georgia Tech and Tulane should
provide plenty of action in their
Southern Conference game. Tulane
is riding high after upsetting Navy
and Mississippi on two consecutive
Saturdays. Georgia Tech is ranked
fourth in the country and has to be
favored in this game.
In the Pacific Coast Conference
Stanford and USC tangle for what
might be the Conference cham
pionship. Both teams have shown
power this season and neither is
going to give away. The staff fa
vors Southern Cal four to two,
even though the main guns for
USC will be gone due to the pen
alty imposed upon them last year
by the Conference.
In another coast game UCLA
journeys up to Oregon State. The
Uclans isn't expected to be able
to cope with the Beavers' power
as Oregon has their best team
in many years. UCLA is further
hampered by the loss of their
seniors who are ineligible for the
last five games.
Oregon is traveling across tht
country to meet powerful Pitts
burgh. It looks like their long trip
will be in vain as Pitt is riding
high after their win over Duke. Th
staff makes it unanimous for Pitt.
