McCLOUGHAN HITS TURF Husker halfback Kent McClonghan succombs this time to Jaekrabbit tacklcrs, but managed
two touchdowns Saturday during Nebraska's romp past South Dakota State.

. Sports Editor
Nebraska kept the new
Memorial Stadium scoreboard
busy with the most Husker
points in 36 years against un
dermanned South Dakota
State Saturday.
Coach Bob Devaney cleared
the bench of 57 players by
the fourth quarter when the
Jackrabbits finally scored
against a Scarlet defense com
bination of fourth and fifth
stringers with 1:50 left in the
ball game, making the final
58-7.
The visitors from Brookings
gave the bigger Cornhuskers
several rude shocks in the
first half. While the unkind
hosts rang up a 37 to 0 half
time advantage, the Jackrab
bits, led by a surprising mid
dle line and ball hawking
Wayne Rasmussen, stymied
two first unit thrusts.
After a 59-yard Husker
drive, climaxed by a bruising
36-yard scoring jaunt by Rudy
Johnson, State came up with
one of their better moments
of the afternoon. On the Jack
rabbits first play from scrim
mage, quarterback Doug Pe
terson lost a slippery pigskin
to Nebraskan center Ron
Michka on the South Dakota
State 31 yard line.
Dennis Claridge fired a 25
yard pass to end Dick Calla
han and it looked as if the
Huskers would score their sec
ond six-pointer with less than
five minutes gone. Then after
several fruitless thrusts at a
stubborn Rabbit line. Claridge
sent a spirial to Callahan only
to have Rasmussen pick it off.
Unfortunately for the visi
tors, the vaunted Husker line
lived up to expectations and
held State to minus rushing
yardage for the afternoon.
Led by bruising Bob Brown
and Lloyd Voss, the Nebraska
beef repeatedly threw the
Jackrabbits for big losses. It
was this jarring line play that
kept State's starting signal
caller Peterson from second
half action and shook up ver
satile h a I f b ac k Rasmussen
early in the second half.
In the third offensive series,
daridge's top unit romped to
their second touchdown on the
strength of a 36 yard scamper
from Willie Ross and a 14
yard keeper on Claridge' part.
Johnson scored again and
kicked his second placement.
The State offense continued
to sputter but the defense sal
vaged two more happy mo
ments against their oppon
ents. . The Huskers marched
from their own 39 to the State
14 and a fourth and two sit
uation where Gene Young was
stepped by hard-charging
Dennis Dee short of the
needed yardage.
Dee, a 227-p euid junior
tackle, led what resistance
the 'Rabbits coold master
against a line that outweighed
them ever 19 pounds a man
from tackle to tackle.
On the first play after stop
ping the Cornhuskers, Ras
mussen fumbled and junior
gard John Dervin smothered
the ball on South Dakota
State's 13 yard line. During
the afternoon, the rather small
(206 pound, 6-0) Chicago na
tive contributed sharp line
play and several key blocks.
Dervin 's defensive gem
after Monte Kiffin'B crushing
tackle wasn't enough to send
the Huskers to pay dirt this j
time. Two incomplete Clar
idge aerials, one dropped by
fall surprise Preston Love on
the Sodak ten, and one yard
from Bob Hohn set the stage
for a hard charge from Oar
left side for eight yards one
shy of a first down.
The latter half of the sec
ond quarter produced three
Nebraska touchdowns and a
safety, leaving Brookings fans
nothing left to cheer about.
First, Claridge pushed his unit
48 yards with Kent McClongh
an covering the last four off
tackles.
On the following scores, the
Huskers utilized two brilliant
punt returns by Willie Ross
and soph Frank Solich of 48
and 44 yards respectively.
Both runs left the Sodak de
fense within their five yard
line and Devaney sent in an
other sophomore, Fred Duda,
to punch the TD's over. Duda
sent backs McCloughan and
Bruce Smith across the goal
and the Nebraska margin be
came insurmountable.
Sandwiched between the
last two touchdowns was a
football oddity a safety.
After starting State quarter
back Doug Peterson left the
contest for good, sophomore
Ron Meyer, who took over,
found himself surrounded in
his end zone by Huskers. Lyle
Sittler and Kent McCloughan
collaborated to down Meyer
for two points making the
score 30 to 0. Nebraska's next
tally made the halftime mar
gin 37 to 0.
Easy opposition allowed un
tested sophmores to "strut
their stuff." Duda, another
Chicago product, was the most
notable of these. The pint
sized hero of last year's suc
cessful freshman team per
formed calmly under varsity
pressure. Besides pushing the
first half scores through, he
led a pair of 52-yard success
ful drives in the second stan
za. The last one was capped
by his two-yard keeper around
right end.
Another soph, Solich, might
have reminded Husker fans of
the flashy openfield running
sported by ex-Nebraska half
back Pat Fisher. Despite the
fact he is the smallest squad
member, Solich ran wen for
the frosh last year and De-,
vaney paired him with WHie j
Ross for starting punt returns
in Saturday's game. He
turned in several fine returns
including the 44-yarder and
another time brke for open
field only to slip on the damp
turf.
Depth problems noticed in
the fall and spring may fall
to the wayside due to Satur
day's showing. Both on offense
and defense the second unit
proved more than adequate.
The fullback position, much
worried about after the depar
ture of All-America Thunder
Thornton last year, seemed
well-filled by Rudy Johnson
and Gene Young. These two
amassed 87 yards between
them while junior Bob Hohn
was the rushing leader with
64 yards mostly on virtue of
his 51 yard touchdown run
in the third quarter.
Additional encouragement
comes from the current Husk
er placement kickers, Rudy
Johnson and Dave Theisen.
There was nary a miss among
each kicker's four tries each.
Damp weather probably
hindered passing efforts on
the part of Husker field gen
eral, Dennis Claridge. Ne
braska's All-America prospect
completed four of eight passes
for 106 yards and covered 46
on the ground.
His brief appearence left
Claridge closer to several Ne
braska career marks. Last
year's Big Eight Player of
the Year lacks 16 completions
and 165 passing yards from
eclipsing John Bordogna's
(1951-53) career marks. Also,
with more action in the tough
er games to comes, Claridge
could surpass former Nebras
ka All-America Bobby Rey
nold's (1950-53) total yardage
mark of 1,417 in one season.
The Husker Co-Captain gar
nered 152 yards passing and
rushing Saturday, most of
them in the first half.

CLARIDGE TO CALLAHAN will be a combination to watch

passes Saturday for 62 yards.

Frosh Football Study
To Change Technique?
A new approach in teach
ing football may come about
from an experimental pro
gram conducted last fall with
the Cornhusker freshman
football team.
Tom Osborne, an assistant
coach at the University and
former professional footbau
player, saw a need for a bet
ter way of teaching football
players their assignments.
A graduate student in
Teachers Colleee. he decided
to teach 16 freshman football
players their blocking rules
by means of specially pre
pared booklets.
The results ot tne experi
ment were outlined in his the
sis, written as a partial re
quirement for his Master of
Arts degree, which he re
ceived this past month.
The booklets contained
questions and answer frames,
arranged so that the player
had to answer the question
before he could see the an
swer. Osborne explained that this
involved the technique used
by teaching machines, in that
the student must respond in
order to progress and must
understand each point before
being allowed to move ahead.
This procedure is in con
trast to the present widely
used method of handing out
blocking rules on mimeo
graphed paper and asking the
players to memorize the
rules.
Osborne compared the 16
players who used the book
lets with a control . group
which used the conventional
methods. By means of four
written exams, ratings from
the coaches, and grading of
two movies of actual games,
Osborne found that:

Iii the written tests, the
experimental group received
an average grade- of about 10
per cent higher than the con
trol group.
In the Coaches' rating
scale, the experimental group
had a rating average of 8.1
out of a possible 12 points,
compared with 5.4 points for
the control group.
In the movie evaluation;
the experimental group had
91 per cent of their assign
ments correct, compared with
83 per centf orthecontrol
group.
All evaluative procedures
were statistically significant
in favoring the programmed
teaching method.
Osborne also found that the
experimental group tended to
spend more time in study of
the plays than the control
group.
Only guards, tackles and
centers were used in the ex
periment "for it was the
coaches' opinion that the
blocking assignments of these
interior linemen were more
complex than those assign
ments of other positions and
were consequently the hard
est to learn."
The thesis was done under
the supervision of Dr. Rob
ert E. Stake, assistant pro
fessor of educational psychol
cgy and measurements.
