Halfback,
Fleming, Ross
As Nebraskan
By MICK ROOD
Sports Staff Writer
The Nebraskan has selected
Willie Ross, 5-11, 195-p o u n d
junior left halfback as the
Star of the Week for his
Hazing offensive performance
against Kansas last weekend.
Ross broke into the touch
down column, scoring three
tallies while leading the Husk
era to a satisfying 40 to 16
victory over the Kansas Jay-
hawks last Saturday. Willie
bulled his way for 111 yards
and better than nine yards
per try through the hapless
Kansas defense. This effort
netted the Nebraska speedster
mention for Back of the Week
by United Press International
as well as the Nebraskan ci
tation.
Willie, who is also known as
a touch defender, won person
al laurels over vaunted Jay-
hawk Gayle Sayers in an of
fensive dual. He out-gained
Sayers 111 to 107 yards and
ontscored him as Sayers
failed to score.
Commenting on the surpris
tag Kansas margin, Willie
said, "The boys knew they
would have to win in order
to stay in the Big Eight race
or get a bowl berth. Coach
Devaney told us to try to get
five yards a crack and just
run over them."
Willie credited the entire in
ternal line with helping him
to his good showing. "You
really couldn't single one boy

out because it was mainly a
team effort," he commented.
"The fumble I made last
year against Oklahoma State
led to one of their touch
downs so I have a debt to re
pay," Willie remarked about
the coming contest
Willie, a junior majoring in
Physical Education, was born
in Helena, Arkansas. He later
lettered in his freshman year
at St. Elizabeth High School
in Chicago and then returned
to Helena to earn All-State
high school honors three years
in the running.
Willie is very happy with
the Nebraska coaching staff
In many ways. Backfield
Coach Corrigan has helped
me a lot with my blocking.
I must admit when I came
here that was my weak spot,
but the coach has improved
me quite a bit.
Commenting again about
the Oklahoma State test, Wil
lie said he didn't think that
the team would let down aft
er their Kansas success.
"We've got to play one game
at a time and if we win this
one I think we can play in a
bowl game. When we get to
Oklahoma, we'll try to whip
them too. You know last year
I had a cracked rib at the
Oklahoma game, but this year
I'll try to be in good shape."
Willie paid tribute to Coach
Devaney when he said, "The
boys always want to play for
a man you believe in, and we
believe in the coach."
Mike Fleming, leading cross
country harrier, has been se
lected as the Nebraskan's sec
ond 'Star of the Week' for his
Big Eight title showing at
Ames, Iowa last Saturday.
Fleming, who felt he wasn't
pushed throughout the entire
championship race, clipped
off the three mile course in a
credible 14:53.0 to lead the
Big Eight cross country
runners.

"I never felt better and
never felt stronger," com
mented Fleming following the
rugged distance jaunt. "If I
had been pushed I probably
would have reached 14:47 or
14:48," he continued.
Within the last nine months
the Husker runner has won
three Big Eight championship
races. The first came in last
year's two-mile indoor when
Fleming ripped off a 9:17.6 to
outstride all Big Eight com
petitors. The other came in
MIKE FLEMING
the outdoor mile run last
spring. Fleming took the dis
tance in 4:08.1 again ousting
Big Eight runners.
Fleming, who will be run
ning the mile and half mile
this Indoor season, feels that
with the loss of Bill Dotson of
Kansas University he will not
be pushed throughout the sea
son. Dotson graduated last
spring while Fleming still has
outdoor, indoor and cross
country seasons remaining to
his eligibility.
Eyeing the Big Eight team
indoor championship for this
year Fleming felt that Tie
braska is strong with the mid
dle distance NU's strongest
point getters.
Last years champs, Kan
sas, who edged the Huskers
by a mere 1112 of a point,
cannot be counted out this
year cautioned Fleming.
Fleming stands 5-11 and
weighs 139 pounds, his best
running weight. The Balti
more Maryland native worked
out at San Francisco last
summer and worked himself
where he can run for an hour
or an hour and a half without
experiencing great fatigue.

Undefeated Cowboys
To Be at Full Strength
In Lincoln Saturday
Nebraska, fresh from an
impressive victory over Kan
sas, could run into trouble
against Oklahoma State's un
derrated Cowboys this Satur
day. Cornhusker mentor Bob De
vaney commented this week
that the Cowboys will be at
full strength for the first time
this season. He also men
tioned the Dads' Day foe has
as formidable a passing at
tack as anyone the Huskers
have faced this season.
State's quarterback Mike
Miller could give the Huskers
some of the weak moments
experienced during the Iowa
State and Kansas State con
tests. Miller, the Big Eight's
leading passer, has completed
63 of 133 passes for 867 yards.
He also has average ball
handling ability and led the
Oklahoman's cause, complet
ing seven of nine passes dur
ing the stunning upset over
Army last week.
Besides the Army triumph,
12-7. the Cowboys hold solid
margins over Tulsa and Colo
rado. This team also held
league-leading Missouri to a
moderate 23 to 6 score. De
spite their unimpressive 3-4
record. State has shown a
dangous and sometimes sur
prising attack.
Oklahoma State, like Ne
braska, has often proved to
be a second half club. Two
out of three victories were
sparked by rallies in the
second stanza.
Miller, the Cowboy's offen
sive leader, has found a bevy
of capable receivers to toss
to. Wingback Wardell Hollis
and halfbacks Don Derrick
and Don Karns have been the
busiest receivers. Ends Bill
Leminff and Tommv Ward
have also proved prime aeri
al targets lor Miller s bullet
like attempts.

From the Stick
By RICK AKIN
Oh, these prognostications may drive me nuts (so
might this that the Big Eight has got going.)
A few upsets, yes, but these teams that have been
getting upset is just too much for my average to bear.
Northwestern not only got beat last weekend by Wis
consin, they got clobbered, 37-6. And Ohio State, picked
first before the season started but having Its troubles
just slipped by Indiana, a weak foe, 10-7.
I will just have to go along with the most pessimistic
coach in the nation, Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma, who
athletes. Anything can happen. Stanford's 16-13 upset of
. said, "Every college football team today has capable
Michigan State and Miami of Ohio's upset of Purdue
proved this." - ' .
I wish somebody with "capable athletes" would knock
off Bud's team.
. Last week's Big Eight and Big Ten picks weren't
so hot but overall the Stick hit 14 right and six wrong
for 70 per cent. About half.
This Week
Great effort by the Huskers last week (brilliant).
That clobbering took a little of that cockiness out of the
Jayhawk fans, I heard one fellow respond when asked
if KU was going to win, "Oh, we are going to win all
right, it is just a matter of how much."
'Tis a fine thing to see the Huskers
able to pick themselves back up after a
frustrating Saturday, like the Missouri
fray.
Well, once again for nearly the last time
this season the Stick turns the eyes to
this week's games.
Army getting beat by Okie State was
probably the best thing that could have
happened to the Huskers. If the Cadets
would have clobbered the Cowboys, NU
might just decide to pass in getting up
mentally for this week's eame and turn
their attention to the Oklahoma game the following wek.
Anyway, the Huskers are just too strong and the
Pokes might be a little tired. NEBRASKA 24, Oklahoma
State, 6. 1
In the Big Eight
The biggest game of the week will be the Missouri
Oklahoma tussle at Norman. Both teams have really
been running up the score in the last two weeks (both
teams beat Colorado by more than 55 points).
I'm afraid that Oklahoma is going to start a string
of Big Eight championships again. The Sooners are too
quick and Missouri won't be able to generate enough of
fense to beat Oklahoma. In a close, low-scoring game,
OKLAHOMA.
Kansas entertains California after the helmet-shaking
tussle last week. But as KU Coach Jack Mitchell said
"We can't be that bad." KANSAS.
Iowa State takes a breather this week against Kansas
State. The Wildcats almost pulled one out last week. But
once again defeat is in the offing. IOWA STATE.
Colorado, probably pretty depressed after the last
two weeks, travel to Texas Tech. Texas rapped Tech
last week, but will comeback this week. TEXAS TECH.
In the Big Ten
WISCONSIN will continue to score with a win over
Illinois. IOWA will finally get one over Michigan. PUR
DUE will slip by Minnesota in another close one. NORTH
WESTERN, with blood in the eyes, will kill Michigan
State. OHIO STATE (those poor Buckeyes) will squeeze
by against Oregon.
Other Games
ARMY over Pitt, SYRACUSE over George Washing
ton, AUBURN over Georgia, ALABAMA over Georgia
Tech, LSU over Mississippi State, ARKANSAS over SMU,
TEXAS over TCU, WYOMING over BYU.
OREGON STATE over Colorado State, NAVY

"he's (Thornton) the best I've
seen him for a long while, at
least since the Iowa State
game."
Halfback Dave Thelsen, who
has also been having injur?,

Commenting on Powers, De
vaney felt, "Powers is one of
the most valuable men to our
squad being able to play both
positions (left half and full
back). He has managed to
stay healthy and he is a good
two-way football player," con
cluded the NU coach refering
to Power's ability to play both
defense and offense well.
Nebraska will be looking for
a heavy pass attack from
the Cowboys and will be work
ing on defense plus their own
passing this week.
Refering to the tough Okla
homa State line Devaney com
mented, "they've played real
good ball and seem to pro
tect the passer real well, how
ever they appear to tire. They
could well be one of the
tougher lines, they shut off
Army well," Devaney con

both undefeated in league ac
