Although Oklahoma State
has only a 1-6 record this sea
son, Husker Coach Bob De
vaney does not feel this is any
cause for optimism in the
Scarlet camp.
"We are concerned with
their improvement," the men
tor said. "They played a good
game against Iowa State, then
got their first win last Satur
day against Tulsa."
The reason for the Cowboys
Improvement is the switch to
a new "I" formation offense.
This offense is employed by
Maryland with quarterback
Dick Shiner. The "I" forma
tion has the halfbacks and full- j
back lined up behind the quar
terback. Devaney explained that this
offense puts considerable pres
sure on the pass defenders
and the defensive cornermen
in covering the man-in-mo-tion.
Plays run in the oppo
site direction from the man-in-m
o t i o n are particularly
hard to defend.
Using the new offense,
O-State has scored 61 points
in their last two games. As
a result Devaney believes the
Cowpokes morale and confi
dence and be built up for Sat
urday's content.

"They played good ball at
times against Arkansas and
Texas but then a fumble
would stop them," the Husker
coach said. He noted they
have not been giving the ball
away as much lately.
Nebraska holds a 19 lb.
man for man weight advan
tage in the line but Devaney
counts this as a possible
O-State advantage.
"We seem to have the most
difficulty with teams which
have lighter and possibly
more agile lineman," com
mented Devaney recalling the
loss to Air Force.

Charlie Jones
Nebraska's basketball success may hinge this year
on the continued prominence of Charlie Jones. The 6-14'
senior managed to lead Scarlet rebounders with 204 last
year and place second in scoring with 291 points to Daryl
Petsch. All this, plus the playmaking ability of Jones,
makes him an "old-timer" who should fit into Coach Joe
Cipriano's new system.

Under the coaching of La-

Soccer team has won their
last seven games of t h e
spring and fall season.
P.T.P. assumed spon
sorship of the soccer team in
the spring of 1963. The team
has been in existence since
1957, when it was organized
by Martin Carraneedo of Mex
ico City. Carraneedo' has
since returned to Mexi
co where he teaches.
In its seven years of exist
ence the soccer team has
changed sponsorship several
times. In 1957 it was spon
sored by the University, in
1958 by Globe Laundry. Until
1963 when P.T.P. undertook
sponsorship the team was
helped by private firms.
Coach Lajos Molnar re
ceived his coaches' "certifi
cate" from the University of
Hungary. Molnar's playing
experience numbers 14 years.
He played during high school
for a third cjass team and
while be attended the Univer

Steve Adams.
Coach Molnar says many
difficulties arise in schedul
ing a game such as this.
Many players have part time
jobs or are tied down with
school work and therefore
have a hard time attending
practices and games. One
other difficulty is the lack of
a permanent playing field.
Home games are played on
the intramnral field on Ag
Campus, but this field must
be shared by all the intra
mural teams. Another prob
lem is finding suitable oppo
nents since few mid-western
colleges have teams.
Soccer is played the world
over and is by far the most
popular sport all over the
world. The South American
teams at this time dominate
the World Championships.
Brazil has won the Champion
ship the last few years.

country the feelings run so

avoid angry fans.

soccer in Germany, attended
the University of Maryland on
a soccer scholarship.
The next game is Sunday,
November 17 against Union

played at the Union College
grounds. The last game of the
fall season will be November
24 against Creighton Univer
sity. Plans are being consid

Rood Awakening-
By Mick Rood
Sports Editor
It is whispered around on campus that Nebraska may
get the big scare against Oklahoma State. After that, it
is whispered that of course we don't have a chance when
Bud Wilkinson's Oklahoma team travels to Lincoln. We
all brag loudly about our team, but behind the scenes,
pessimism reigns. Why so?
This sort of mumbling went on before the Kansas game
too. Even after the convincing victory, many felt that Ne
braska had won on lucky breaks. Over-confidence is one
thing, but "under-confidence" is another.
Please consider:
The old saying that a good team invariably wins on
mistakes.That is precisely how the Huskers beat the Jay
hawks they made fewer errors and were able to capitalize
on Kansas weak points. Oklahoma is a prime example of
winning on mistakes. Nebraska lost to the Sooners last
year because they, could capitalize our errors.
The other factor, having a good, steady offense to
complement ball-hawking abilities, is most evident on the
Scarlet squad. Nebraska has the best all-around backfield
in the country. Seven Huskers have journeyed over 100
yards so far this season and four of those backs have
averaged over five yards a crack. (Rudy Johnson, Willie
Ross, Bob Hohn, and Kent McCIoughan) Nebraska has aver
aged just under five yards a try as team in the rushing
department while opponents have gathered only 2.8 yards
a try.
OSU boasts a new "I" formation but the Cowboy de
fense won't hold Scarlet versatility. After a second quarter
scare, NEBRASKA 38, OKLAHOMA STATE-13.
For the record, Nebraska outgained the Pokes last
year by 397 to 127 total yardage. Passing whiz Mike Miller,
who has been the key to Cowboy success of late, was
held to 4 ot 12 passes for 31 yards and two interceptions.
Both teams have improved; unfortunately for Oklahoma
State and hopeful Coach Phil Cutchin.
Another whispered comment is finding its way around
campus. Apparently, Dennis Claridge isn't playing up to
what some think he should. Not quite fair game if you
look closely.
The hard-luck season Dennis has been having compares
to that of Thunder Thornton's last year. Both had troubles
with recurring injuries. Both had the dubious distinction
of running plays that every team knew they would. Their
strengths were major projects of the opposition. Also, Cla
ridge has suffered from poor pass protection and fumbling
receivers. Fred Duda has discovered these important fazes
lacking on many an occasion.
Back to Nebraska's football prominence. Many students
feel that if the Huskers conceivably tied for the Big Eight
lead if Missouri beats the Sooners and Nebraska then
lost to Oklahoma that Oklahoma would inevitably go to
the Orange Bowl. There would be no question. No, gang, no!
Oklahoma may have the tradition of exciting teams
behind it, but Nebraska, in the last two years, has proved
it has the Sooners beat. No team in the nation, let alone
the Big Eight, can boast a better offense. On defense. Ne
braska leads "Norman's pride" bv a convincing margin
on the ground and by one yard per game for total defense.
This is not total proof, but as was said above the
Huskers have learned to capitalize on mistakes as well as
the Sooners. Nebraska really began their excitine form for
all to see in the Gotham Bowl.
The crystal football here: Georgia Tech bv one over
Alabama; Oklahoma by three over Missouri; SMU in an
other surprise over Arkansas; Auburn over Georgia, de
spite Rakestraw; Pittsburgh continues success over Army;
Kansas on the rebound against Colorado; Navy through the
air past Duke; Illinois to lose again by one to Wisconsin;
Iowa State bouncing K-State by 20; Michigan State in a
romp over miss-firing Notre Dame; Michigan wont upset
lowa; Minnesota win fizzle again at Purdu: Northwestern
will have a good day finally and whip Ohio State; Southern
Cal to edge Oregon State Friday; Rice over Texas A&M:
Texas to open up this time by 13 over TCU; UCLA can't
even take Washington.
