Cofioim
By Bob Samnelson
The 1965 Cotton Bowl is past history,
but it is not likely to be forgotten by any
Nebraska fans who made the trip to Dal
las to see the game, or the loyals who
were glued to the tube on Jan. 1.
The memories of the fans who mi
grated south for the classic are not like
foremost among the less pleasant mem
ories will be the famous soooooooieeeee!!
ly to be all pleasant, however. First and
yell of the Arkansas fans.
Soooooooieeeee ! !
Sooooooooieecee!!
Sooooooooieeeee!!
Tigs!
Arkansas!
Razorbacks!!!
Each Sooooieee lasts anywhere from
five to fifteen seconds, and is a high
pitched screech. That yell was always
stalking Husker fans around the streets
of Dallas.
The yell, however maddening to op
ponents, is infectuous, and effective. It is
somewhat akin to the "Rock Chalk JAY
Hawk" yell from Kansas.
Nebraskans tried to counter the yell
with a Go Big Red or two, but somehow
it just wasn't the same. I herewith put
forth a challenge to the Tassels, Corn
cobs, Cheerleaders or anybody: Someone
think up a veil in the same vein as the
soooieee veil that will give everyone in
the stands something to yell, something
to be proud of, and something to defend
themselves with at Bowl games!
That yell was bad enough, but the
really maddening thing about the Arkan
sas people was that they were so obnox
ious. It isn't just that they were at a
Bowl game and away from home. Lord
knows the Nebraska fans were obnoxious
enough in their own right, but the Hogs
(as we who were there fondly grew to
call them) really were superlative in their
Hi!
For instance, they would corner a Ne
braska fan in an elevator or somewhere
else where escape was virtually impossi
ble, and proceed to drill the Husker in
the folk lore and mythology of Razor
backia. (Often it was little more than folk
lore and mythology.)
The poor Nebraskan would find him
self engulfed in a form of pidgin English
known as the southern drawl and he
would be defenseless because he could un
derstand so little of it.
"If'n yo haf ta kick t' Hatfafled, ya
bctah jus crawl inna hoi'," would trans
late to: "If you have to kick to Hatfield,
you had better crawl in a hole." This
piece of information was untrue in the
first place and hardly worth the effort of
translating.
Another Arkansas fan told me confi
dentially that the entire starting Razor
back team, linemen included, could run
the hundred yard dash in under ten sec
onds. Sure they can, and while carrying
Volkswagens, too.
As for the game itself, here's a hats
off to the Nebraska team and Coach
Devaney. It was a magnificent effort all
the way around against a fine Arkan
saw team, and with a couple of breaks,
it could have easily gone the other way.
Harry Wilson played and ran beauti
fully all day, and Langston Coleman was
again a one-man-gang on defense.
There were a couple of untimely pen
alties that hurt Nebraska drives at key
times, and there was the interferance on
Kent McCloughan that wasn't detected by
the referees. There was the time that Raz
orback quarterback Marshall was
trapped for a loss and escaped five or six
would-be tacklers to turn a loss into a
gain.
But the most important "if" in the
game was the pass to Lindsey when Ne
braska's defensive signals called for both
the ends and the linebackers to blitz or
red-dog. This strategy had resulted in div
idends for the Huskers when they used it
earlier in the game, but this time the
Hogs guessed right and Bent one of the
halfbacks into the flat area which is the
area outside our end and shallow.
This area is covered zone style by the
end if the linebacke crashes, and the line
backer if the end crashes. This particular
play, with both men rushing, left the flat
area unprotected and vulnerable because
defensive halfback Larry Wacholtz was
covering a deep man. The pass amounted
to a naked screen pass because Mar
shall backpedaled and then flipped to the
flat man. Arkansas gained good yardage
on a play that could just as easily have
been disaster for the Hogs if they hadn't
guessed right, but that's football.
Speaking of Larry Wacholz, few re
alize the 163-pounder's value to the team.
Aside from his defensive halfback chores,
Larry has also learned the quarterback
position in case of injury to Bob Church
ich, and does spot duty at the kicking
chores. In the Cotton Bowl, he made one
of the most beautiful pass interceptions to
grace the Dallas soil in many years.
Are You A Soccer Player?
In the Cotton Bowl one weakness in
the Nebraska team was embarassingly
apparent. That is that Nebraska needs a
Drum is a fine extra-point kicker, and has
done an admirable job this year in that
function. He is not the strongest kicker
ever seen in a football stadium, however,
and one attempt at Dallas looked more
like a well-delivered Warren Spahn screw
ball than a field goal attempt.
Last year in the Orange Bowl, the
margin of victory was two field goals
by Husker Dave Theisen, and this year the
margin of victory in the Cotton Bowl was
a field goal, but the (kicking) shoe was
on the other foot. In this era of stanch
defensive teams, a field goal kicker with
accuracy and power can be the most im
portant man on the team. With the num
ber of scholarships granted each year,
there is really no excuse for a major col
lege ballclub to be so deficient in this de
partment. Maybe somewhere on the Nebraska
campus there is some ex-soccer player
from Hungary or some place who would
like a chance to win an 'N" with his foot.
Along with freer and freer substitu
tion rules comes the requirement for more
specialists, and along with ; kicker, Ne
braska needs a good snap-back center for
punts. He, too, could be a specialist at
his field, and he would be a valuable ad
dition to the team.
Next Year
With almost all the blackshirts return
ing, and promising freshman talent com
ing up, the outlook for next year is
bright indeed. There is always the chance
for a well known disease of Oklahoma
called "Senioritus", but that bug doesn't
seem to thrive this far north, and rumor
has it that Coach Devaney has a secret
cure for such diseases.
Bob Churchich will be back with a
year of experience under his belt, and a
great deal of company as well. The fresh
men could produce as many as three con
tenders for the position and Fred Duda
may be back in there also. Churchich
seems the pick for the job right now, how
ever, and should he continue to improve
as he has, he could become one of the
best. He must learn to stay in the pro
tective pocket longer to be most effective.
He must alzz learn when to pass, when
to eat the bill for a loss, and when to
scramble. But all that takes time, and is
mostly a matter of experience.
In Memorium
Don Pierce, Sports Publicity Director
of Kansas University died as result of in
juries substained in an automobile acci
dent on New Year's Eve. He was a much
respected man in the realm of the sports
world, and he was very cooperative and
helpful to the Daily Nebraskan sports
staff during our journey to the Kansas
Nebraska football game this falL The Big
Eight and the sports world has lost a
capable and a colorful figure.

early in the contest. The trio accounted for fifty-seven
shooting.
The three stars of Monday's action gather
points with some hot-handed
hyhawks Clip Huskers
for Initial Home Loss
Kansas ruined the Husker's widest loead of the game 36-
perfect home court record
and their first Big Eight out
ing last Monday night by a
score of 66-56.
Fred Hare led all scorers
with 22 points, while Kansas'
Al Lopes came through with
18 points, many in the clutch,
to top the Jayhawk scoring.
It looked like another de
feat for the Huskers early in
the first half as Kansas hit 73
per cent of its field goals dur
ing the first nine minutes.
Even w hen they missed a
shot, frequently they got a
second due to good offensive
hustle and the fact that Hus
ker center Bob Antulov's re
bounding was hampered by
an ankle injury.
Then the Huskers came to
life with seven straight points
by Hare. With more hustle on
the defensive boards and
moving the ball down the
floor quickly the Jayhawks
saw their lead cut to t w o
points at 32-30.
Nate Branch, who wound up
the evening with 11 points,
then socred on a beautiful
scored on a scoop shot on a
fast break that tied it up.
Kansas came right back
with the type of play that ul
timately doomed the Huskers
a stuff shot by Wesley vbo
w as alone under the basket.
To finish the half. Harp
Branch, and Jerry Spears
lossea in tree tnrows to take
a one point advantage to the
locker rooms.
Nebraska opened up to its
34, after the intermission, as
Hare scored a free throw, but
then the power of the KU
men came to the fore.
Lopes stn'ck home for four
out of four long jumpers and
Wesley added a couple short
jumpers to overtake the fal
tering Huskers and build a
48-40 bulge.
After four more points for
the Huskers, they went score
less for the next seven min
utes until Webb finally broke
through for a lay-up.
From here on the Huskers
went into a zone press which
got the ball but not the badly
needed buckets.
Kansas then Just held the
ball for good shots against the
zone and ran out the clock.
Coach Joe Cipriano noted
that the errors were what hurt
the most, but he was pleased
with the way the Huskers
came back after such a poor
showing at the Big Eight tour
nament over the holidays.
The Huskers next outing Is
Saturday at Oklahoma
State, and then Monday in
Norman for a game with the
Sooners.
KU 'Lopes' To Win
Kent
Says No
Husker halfback Kent Mc
Cloughan has denied all re
ports of having signed con
tract with the American Raid
ers. McCloughan said Monday
that Oakland talked to him,
but he did not sign. In Oak
land, Raider officials declined
comment.
McCloughan was chosen
number three by Houston in
the AFL draft and also was
picked third by Washington in
the National Football League.
He said he was leaning to
ward Oakland, which acquired
rights to him from Houston
last week, but may want to go
out for track in the spring.
Signing a contract would
prohibit any further collegiate
competition for him.
