Coach Devaney's decision to keep his Nebraska coach
ing job has resulted in a landslide of elation. People across
the state have voiced their approval. Second the happy
motion ...
mis situation though, is probably the first of many
reminders that Husker football, and its head man, are in
the national view. Many big schools are going to be after
Devaney's job from now onN
It ii, however, unfortunate that the Miami mess had
to break just as Nebraska was, and is, preparing for their
Orange Bowl clash.
Although many denied it, the players probably felt a
strange sensation practicing for a coach that might not be
their coach at all at any moment. And then again no one
could blame The Man for considering what apparently
was an excellent offer ... a salary raise . . . possibly the
athletic director's position in the future.
The Man had acquired a god-like following in this
state and revived a proud tradition. The name Devaney
had been adopted .as an inseparable part of Husker ath
letics. All of the sudden, Miami people seemed pretty low,
trying to "steal" our coach.
What followed was mass hysteria. Of all the publicity
connected with the whole thing, the sudden backing of
the coaches' insurance policy was the topper.
Last year came the big announcement of a 200,000 dol
lar policy for The Man. Fine. Later the policy was lowered
to $100,000 due to lack of support. Now, just before the Mi
ami thing, the necessary funds for the reduced policy can't
even be gathered.
When Miami flashes started rolling in, naturally the
policy was quickly backed by a coalition of mostly Omaha
and Lincoln businessmen. It doesn't look good. The idea
was great, but why not have continual support for The
Man. Solid support is needed from now on.
If It isn't one problem, It's another. Glowing comments
for the coach don't melt the snow or moderate the frigid
temperature.
While Auburn hustles through a warm practice, Husk
crs are forced indoors. This is a real disadvantage, but
maybe not so much at Nebraska.
All season 1 o n g, the Scarlet team had actually prac
ticed on the field less than some other teams. Summer
preparation was grueling and scull sessions are many, but
during the season practices were rarely long. Injuries in
practice were cut down and . . . winning results.
Now the game. Scarlet backs and linemen have another
versatile quarterback on their hands. Sidle is easily the
equal of Isaacsonjust as dangerous a back. Statistics
and games stories bear that out.
Auburn boasts a strong, although sometimes young
line and some impressive victories. At last check, both
teams are at full strength. Neither team can brag a tough
er schedule. Nebraska opponents compare with Tiger
foes. Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas are equal to Ala
bama, Mississippi State and Georgia Tech.
Both teams ended the season with big victories, Au
burn whipped Alabama as Nebraska beat Oklahoma, and
both finished with 9 and 1 records.
Stop and wait ... the Scarlet line has more heft and
experience. Nebraska's backfield has more depth and
talent.
Sit down, relax, spike your oranges and watch: NE-BRASKA-27,
AUBURN-14.
A Quiet Smile
A tired man with a quite smile strolled to the center
of the basketball court. There he met a nervous fellow
coach who really looked like one of the players who scrim
maging. Football's Bob Devaney talked with basketball's Joe
Cipriano for a short moment. They exchanged comments
about the warm weather to come on their respective trips
Devany to Miami and Cipriano to California.
Devany flashed that winning smile and Cipriano smiled
back as they exchanged good luck wishes. It won't be long
before both will be winning smiles because Nebraska has
one of the top coaching duos around.

Nebraska should fare con
siderably better this time
than in the last Orange Bowl
appearance, January 1, 1955.
Atlantic Coast Conference
champion Duke smacked the
Cornhuskers 34 to 7. Nebras
ka, a 14-point underdog, had
finished second in the Big
Seven with a 4 and 2 mark
and S and 4 overall.
The game had been her
alded as a mismatch, since
Nebraska had dropped its
last game 55 to 7 to third
ranked Oklahoma and only
went to the Bowl because
Oklahoma had the year be
fore and couldn't repeat. The
Orange Bowl then had a tieup
w i t h the ACC and the Big
Seven.
The nation's press soundly
berated the mismatch, even
though 69,000 people had
showed up to watch, squelch
ing rumors of a financial flop.
Nebraska had rushed well,
rolling up 311, 383, 331, and
416 yards against conference
rivals Colorado, Iowa State,
Missouri, and Kansas. Okla
homa had limited its foes to
1.9 yards per rush and com
pletely throttled the Huskers,
amassing 577 yards in its vic
tory. Nebraska had never been
rated above 20th in the na
tion, while Duke finished 14th.
This year the UPI has Ne
braska 5th and Auburn 6th,
while the AP had the two
teams reversed.
A win over the Soon
ers in the November 20th
finale or a Colorado victory
over Kansas State would give
Nebraska the bowl bid. Kan-

sas State had edged Nebras
ka 7 to 3 on October 9th and
was now 3 and 2 in the con
ference and favored to lose
to Colorado. They did, 39 to
14 at Boulder.
Nebraska had a 16-14-3 ree
ord against Oklahoma but
had not won since 1942. Okla
homa had 17 straight wins
and 46 straight conference
wins. Two of their players,
end Max Boydston and center
Kurt Burris made All-Ameri-can
in 1954.
Nebraska guard Charles
Bryant, tackle Don Glantz,
and halfback Bob Smith all
made first team All-Big Seven
for the year, with tackle Bill
Holloran and Andy Loehr
making the second team.
Glantz also played in Mobile,
Alabama's Senior Bowl a
week after the Orange Bowl.
Jerry Barger, Duke quar
terback, was the real Husker
nemesis, completing 7 of 13
passes for 84 yards and a
touchdown. He also scored
one. Nebraska completed 1
pass of 9 for 26 yards. Smith
was our leading gainer with
22 yards.
. This year has seen pesky
quarterbacks, especially Ter
ry Isaacson of Air Force and
Gary Lane of Missouri. A
year ago in the Gotham Bowl
Nebraska won 36 to 34 over
Miami even though All-American
(then) George Mir a
passed for over 350 yards.
Nebraska . has Improved
considerably on pass defense
and even held Lane to 8 of
20 passes. This year's Corn-
husker eleven led the nation
in rushing with an average
of 262 yards per game and
outscored opponents 260 to
107.
A ub u r n s AU-American
quarterback Jimmy Sidle
may be another thorn in the
Husker side, but this shouldn't
be another 34 to 7 either way.

Cipriano Cifes New Five
As Best For Road Trip
Nebraska will head for
Southern California's gym
with a new starting five to
morrow. During last night's scrim
mage, Coach Joe Cipriano
used Jim Yates, Neil Nannen,
Charlie Jones, Daryl Petsch
and Grant Simmons as the
first stringers.
"These boys Will be the
probable starters," Cipriano
said. "We get better rebound

Cipriano noted that this was

this evening in the Student
Union Ballroom. Cheerlead
ers will be touring the cam
pus with a victory bell at 6:30
p.m. to remind the campus
about the rally.
Featured speakers at the
program will be Bob Zenner
of KOLN TV and Dennis Clar
idge, co-captain. The band
and Yell Squad will also be
present.
New Year's Day there will
be a rally at the field house in
Miami to welcome the team.

first team raced their way
past a second team composed
mainly of Earl Wright, Har
old Cebrun, Coley Webb, Bob
Antelov and Jerry Spears.
Cipriano said although Ce
brun and Antelov had been
pulled from the first five, they
would see plenty of action
against the Trojans.
The big source of offense
last night was senior Daryl
Petsch, who, after leading the
'62 team in scoring, had
started only once thfci year.
The scrimmage itself was
one of the most grueling this
year as Cipriano ran the team
at game pace throughout.
The traveling squad re
mains the same with the first
and second teams plus Joel
Kortus, Al Reiners.
Nebraska will play the Tro
jans Friday and Saturday
nights and return home on
Sunday night.

You were expecting maybe romance .77 glamour?
Then forget about the Peace Corps. Glamorous it's not
You're going to be right in there with monotony,
illiteracy and an army of bloodthirsty mosquitoes.
Helping people who have asked for help. You're going to
work 16 hours a day and sometimes some of the people
won't even know what you're doing there in the first
place. And you will see one fraction of the results you'd
hoped for. But it's worth it when a kid in Nigeria
understands what an alphabet is and some day will be
able to use it. When a farmer in India gets chickens witK
some meat on them for a change. Or when Colombian
villagers learn to work together for the first time and
this new spirit of unity builds a health center. Th
Peace Corps works in 48 countries not changing the
world dramatically, but not leaving it the same, either.,
It's tough to get into the Peace Corps. But we'll be
glad to check you out. Just write to: The Peace Corps,
