Rood Awakening
By MICK ROOD
Sports Editor
Shades of October 12, 1963.
Isaacson faded back six times in less than a minute.
Five complete passes and a six yard lateral covered
eighty yards. Nebraska's momentarily achieved three
point margin fades to a 17 to 13 defeat the lone defeat
of 1963. -
Things changed In the new year, It is January 1, 1964.
Sidle, by no means Isaacson's inferior, had a tougher
chore. Twice the Auburn ace was forced to third down
situations and at last the Nebraska rushers and alert
secondary broke their pass nemisis and brought an
Orange victory home.
Nebraska faced similar conditions, opposing a small,
fast line and protecting a skimpy lead late in the game.
It was a moment of truth for the Huskers ... and they
responded like the champions they are.
Sports Illustrated was the first to label Nebraska
"Giants of the Midway" flits season a handle given the
ferocious Chicago Bears of the 1930's and 40's. And an
apt name It is.
It seems fitting that both teams sporting "Midway Gi-.
ants" realized their impressive football legacies within
a few days of each other after dry spells of about twenty
years.
A large but swift line, an alert secondary and a ball
control offense gave both teams tight verdicts. Both faced
an outstanding quarterback and a formidable defense.
The bigger they are, the harder they hit . . .
Big Eight basketball predictions appearing here may
not be as ridiculous as they looked at the time. Kansas
State felt the potential of a dormant Colorado attack
while Oklahoma State soundly whipped dark horse Kansas.
Missouri looks stronger every time out. They chalked up
84 points with apparent ease without top scorer Ray Bob
Carey for the last 13 minutes.
The guess here is that no team, with the possible ex
ception of Oklahoma State, will escape with fewer than
three probably four losing contests.
Oh yes. That Cyclone win won't be the last. Look for
more.
Coach Cipriano's squad still has a lagging defense and
a sputtering offense. Better things can and will happen.
Student support wouldn't hurt a bit. The cynics might at
least turn out to see the other team in this case Missouri
Saturday night.
It is pathetic when a meager 2,000 show for a varsity
game at a university with well over 10,000 students. In
fact, students seldom comprise over half the "crowd."
It would be interesting to see whether the student
body of Nebraska could support a struggling basketball
team the way they supported a football team.
You can't play football all year long.

The Big Eight fireworks
have started, and for once
Nebraska isn't the dud.
Monday night Nebraska
broke a nine-game losing
streak 53 to 52 over Iowa
State at Ames while Kansas
State, which won the confer
ence preseason tournament
just before Christmas in Kan
sas City, lost to Colorado 60
to 59.
Oklahoma State, which lost
the tournament championship
game to Kansas State by
three, romped over Kansas 64
to 48 and Missouri beat Okla
homa 84 to 74.
With the failure of the pre
season winner to take the ac
tual conference championship
almost a rule in the Big Eight,
the fine league balance this
year leaves eight prime can
didates for conference cham
pion. "Slippery Joe" Cipriano's
Nebraska cagers took their
customary halftime lead Mon
day night, but they held their
own in the second half to
break a seven-game losing
streak to Iowa State.
Iowa State played without
its high scorer, Al Koch, who
was hurt several days ago in
practice. The Cyclones, who
entered the Nebraska fray
with a 4 and 6 record after
being nearly unanimous picks
for last .in the conference,
scored the first nine points of
the second half but couldn't
successfully navigate a delay
game starting with about
eight minutes to go.
Harold Cebrun led both
teams with 16 points.
Kansas State outrebounded
the shorter Buffaloes 48 to 38
and hit 42 per cent of its field
goal attempts to 37 per cent
for Colorado, which means
the Buffs must have done a
lot of shooting. Kansas State
led by 14 with 11:47 left to
play.

State's senior center at seven
feet tall, had another medi
ocre (eight points) perform
ance Monday night, and even
dependable Willie Murrell's
career high of 35 points
couldn't pull out the game, No
other Wildcat scored in dou
ble figures.
Colorado, which tied Kan
sas State for the Big Eight
championship at 11 and 3 last
year and had the league's best
overall record of 19 and 7,
was expected to be weakened
this year with the loss of Ail-
American Ken Charlton and
three-year lettermen Milt
Mueller and Eric Lee.
Old pro Hank Iba's Okla
homa State Cowboys made a
lucky 13 of 13 free throws in
the first half, taking a 35 to
24 lead, and added five more
points to the bulge in t h e
second half to subdue Kansas
64 to 48.
Junior guard Larry Hawk,
who scored 20 points Monday,
is performing as expected.
Last year he was his team's
top scorer with an average of
13.2 points per game, making
UPI All Big Eight.
He averaged .486 from the
field last year and made over
74 of his free throws in mak
ing 329 points, giving him a
good chance of becoming the
fourth Oklahoma State man
in history to score 1,000 points
in a season. Bob Kurland
leads with 1669 points.
Missouri continues to look
like a possible "dark horse."
When scoring leader Ray Bob
Carey fouled out with 13 min
utes to go Monday night, Ray
Price and George Flamank
took up the slack by scorching
the nets for career highs of
zi and 21 points respectively.
Oklahoma's balanced attack
of 11 scorers couldn't make
up for the Tiger stars.
Nebraska plays Missouri
nere Saturday night.
