Nebraskan
Southpaw Larry Naviaux
Awarded 'Star of Week9
When one player is singled
' ut as the "Star of the Week"
in last Saturday's game, he
must have been spectacular.
Spectacular describes senior
halfback Larry Naviaux.
The 6 ft., 180 lb. Naviaux has
had many thrills during his
four year stay at Nebraska,
but credits last Saturday's
game his "most thrilling".
Completed 5 of
The affiable, industrial arts
major and P. E. minor sent
the crowd to its feet several
times during the rousing Pitts
burgh victory. The southpaw
hustler completed five of six
passes for two touchdowns.
One was a 12 yd. flip to end
Mike Eger in the second quar
ter and the other was a 2 yd.
pitch to halfback Pat Fischer.
Larry has completed seven
passes on nine attempts this
season for 60 yds. and two
touchdowns this season. He
also leads the Huskers on the
ground with 240 yds on 67
carries for a 3.6 average.
The dark-haired brown-eyed
Naviaux thinks that the team
spirit has been "real good"
this year. "I don't think it
has ever really been down,"
be added.
When asked about the fu
ture Nebraska teams, Larry

a look at the opponents on
the schedule."
Rough Schedule
Commenting on the appar
ent rough schedule Naviaux
stated that, "We do play a
schedule of big teams, but I
feel that a team learns a lot
bt playing Big 10 and some
of the larger eastern teams. I
do think it would be a good
thing if we could play a weak
er team in the middle of the
season, someone we could
had the following to say: "The ! use as a breather."
1959 schedule is a rough one I A natural athlete, Larry
and the Nebraska team will began his career at Lex
ington high school where
he picked np a half-football
half-basketball scholarship to
still be young. I predict they
will have a 50-50 season which
would be real good if you take
Nebraska after he won
monograms in football, has
ketball and track. He also
made all-state in basketball.
Naviaux nicked N.IL after
being contacted by two other
Big Light schools and sever
al in-state colleges and junior
colleges. This was a decision
mat neitner Larry nor the
University has regreted.
Married last June, Larry
plans to teach and coach on
the high school level upon
graduation.
Smith Expects
35 Wrestlers
To Report
Bill Smith, Nebraska wrest
ling coach, expects a squad
of 35 as soon as the football
season ends.
Working with basically the
same group as he had a vear
ago, Coach Smith figures Har
old Thompson, Osage, la.,
voted the outstanding f r o s h
wrestler last season and Lee
Bigelow, 157 pounder from
Omaha North, will help.
"We lost Dan Brand, heavy
weight, who placed .fourth in
the NCAA tournament last
season," Smith pointed out.
Coach Smith's erouo faces
the toughest mat slate in the
historv of the snort here. Ne
braska opens with the NCAA
champions, Oklahoma State
here, December 18.
No Rest For Huskers; Sooners Ready
There will be no time for
Nebraska's Cornhuskers to
celebrate their stunning up
set victory over the mighty
Pitt Panthers. It was the first
time in the 22 games played
that Nebraska has been able
to win from Pitt at Lincoln.
Oklahoma at Norman is
the assignment this week.
Winless Since '42
Nebraska hasn't won a
game from the Sooners at
Norman since 1942 when the
Cornhuskers edged the surg
ing Sooners 7-0. In fact, that
is the last time that the
Huskers have won from Okla
homa.
Whether the unpredictable
Huskers who are either on
(.loud 9 or walking the main
street of China, will be able
to rise to such heights is
doubtful.
Offense Sparkled
However the Huskers of
fered a new touch of derring
do to their offense against
Pitt. Pitchouts, fake place
kicks and a roll-out pass with
Larry Naviaux on the throw
ing end of five completions
in six attempts helped tame
the Panther.
Also, for the first time this
season the Huskers played i lite Uklahoma game wm
errorless ball. They fumbled j e lose out the careers of Nav-
once but recovered
The Huskers also took the
ball away from Pitt three
times on downs which indi
cates the depths to which
they were digging in on de
fense. Naviaux
The roll-out pass with Larry
Naviaux's southpaw shots
hitjing five out of six at
tempts proved Nebraska's
deadliest weapon. Naviaux
hit Mike Eger and Pat
Fischer in the end zone for
the two Husker touchdowns.
iaux, Guard Dennis Emanuel,
Quarterbacks George Harsh
man, and Roy Stinnett; Cap
tain Dick McCashland, full
back, and Dean Flock, half
back. Flock is injured and
will not be able to play.
LeRoy Zentic, junior, is the
only questionable player for
this week. He has a strained
knee ligament He was hurt
early in the Pitt game
Allen Wellman, a sopho
more, will likely be the
starter at the right tackle
spot.
