Big Eight Spotlight ..,
Oklahoma
(Buf Opponents Offer Little Sympathy
The Oklahoma Sooners are
singing the football blues for
the coming season. Since they
were picked In many quarters
to be national champions be
fore the season commenced
and met with such a disas
trous season, Gomer Jones'
crew of coaches is spreading
gloom in every direction.
Here is what the Oklahoma
spring football roundup has to
say about the Oklahoma team
for next year.
Although Oklahoma is defi
nitely not a Big Eight confer
ence championship threat, the
coaches hope to build a re
spectable team that will im
prove as it acquires experi
ence. Many key positions will
be manned by new players.
Coach Gomer Jones is lead
ing the way with the crying
towel.
. "Our spring practice aim is
to find and develop players to
replace our 20 departed sen
iors. We're especially looking
for tackles, ends and quarter
backs. Our halfback situation
is also critical with the loss
of Lance Rentzel and our
switching of Larry Brown to
fullback. A lot depends upon
the improvement of p e o p 1 e
who didn't play much last
year, also of our new sopho
mores," Jones said.
"Nebraska, Missouri nand
Kansas are the top teams.
But I think this is the year
that clubs like Colorado, Okla
homa State, Iowa State and
Kansas State will shorten the
gap between them and what
have been the first division
powers. Overall, the Big Eight
should be better balanced, top
to bottom, than in some
time," Jones concluded.
Jones is concerned about
the loss of his four ranking
tackles at the close of last
season, Ralph Neely, Butch
Metcalf, Glen Conaren and
Bill Hill. Also of three top
ends. Rick McCurdy, Allen
Bumgardner and Ron Har
mon. Guards Newt Burton
and Ed McQuarters and Cen
ter John Garrett are gone
Quarterbacks Bobby Page and
Ron Fletcher, halfback Lance
Rentzel, fuEback Jim Gns

and defensive halfback Char
ley Mayhue have played their
last college football.

OUTSTANDING
RETURNEES
Center Carl Mc Ada m s.
Oklahoma's best football play
er last season. Quick, wide
ranging, crisp-hitting line
backer who also calls the de
fensive signals. Last year he
made NEA's All-American,
AP's second All-American and
the Central Press and Ameri
can Football Coaches Asso
ciation third teams. He was
also voted UPI's Lineman of
the Year in the Big Eight
conference. Writers covering
the 1965 Gator Bowl voted Mc
Adams Oklahoma's outstand
ing player in the Sooner
defeat after he made seven
unhelped and seven helped
tackles on Florida State
backs and intercepted two of
Steve Tensi's passes, fighting
back 26 yards with one to the
50 from which Oklahoma
drove to its second touch
down.
This 6-foot 3-inch, 215-pound
senior from White Deer, Tex.,
located in the Texas Panhan
dle, played his best against
the stoutest opponents. Mc
Adams burned Coach Darrell
Royal's Texas Steers with so
many different kinds of light
ning that he was voted AP
Lineman of the Week despite
Oklahoma's 28-7 loss.
Although the Longhorns
were then No. 1 in all the
polls and had bypassed 24
consecutive regular season
games without defeat, Mc
Adams bolted on 13 unas
sisted tackles (the game's
high), led Oklahoma's suc
cessful goal line stand that
was climaxed by his jolting
fourth-down tackle of halfback
Ernie Koy on the goal, later
knocked the ball loose from
Koy on the Sooner 13 to pre
vent a touchdown, recovered
a Texas fumble and set up
Oklahoma's lone touchdown
by intercepting a Texas pass
and sprinting back 28 yards
to the Horn 15-yard line.
He stung Nebraska by mov
ing fast to pick off a Corn
husker pass on the goal after
Nebraska had driven 64
yards. He got 13 unassisted
tackles against rugged Mis
souri and made an incredible
interception of a Tiger pass.
(Gary Lane, Missouri quar
terback, said later, "You
can't believe how fast he is.
Our guy was wide open when
I threw the ball but McAdams
came from somewhere. The
ball was two feet from our
receiver's hands. But Mc
Adams got it")
In the Kansas defeat, Mc
Adams led the Sooner defense
that held Gail Sayers, Jay
hawk All-American half, to 36
yards in 13 carries. Okla
homa s coaches voted him the
"Ug" Award as the Sooners'
outstanding defensive player
after he got nine unassisted
and nine assisted tackles on
Southern California. They
also voted him the "Ug" after
the Maryland opener when
his vicious linebacking hubbed
the Sooner defense that held
the Terps without a touch
down for the first time in 39
straight games.

Missouri's Wins
Bahnsen Shuts Out
Tigers On Two Hits
The wierd combination of
home runs and sparkling
pitching highlighted S a t u r
day s doubleheader sweep by
Nebraska over defending Big
Eight champ Missouri.
Sophomore righthander Stan
Bahnsen spun a two-hit 4-0
shoutout in the opening con
test. Bahnsen, handling his
first assignment as a Husker
hurler, dueled Missouri' hero
of a year ago, Jack Stroud,
through four scoreless innings
before Nebraska got him some
runs to work with.
In the Husker half of the
fifth, Stroud walked Joe
Gaughan and Curt Johnson.
At that point MU coach Hi
Simmons pulled Stroud in fa
vor of Mike Eader.
Eader was greeted by his op
posite, Bahnsen, who
scratched out an infield hit to
load the bases.
Two batters later Randy
Harris was hit by a stray Ea
der pitch, driving in the first
Nebraska run. Catcher Larry
Bornschlegl then responded
with a single that brought in
Johnson from third and Bahn
sen from second, and gave
Bahnsen all the cushion he
needed. John Roux, however,
added an insurance homer in
the sixth.
The two hits off Bahnsen
were harmless leadoff singles
in the fifth and seventh
frames. For the seven innings
he struck out eight Tigers and
issued only two free passes to
first.
Junior left-hander Bob Her-
genrader took over the mound
duties for Nebraska in t h e
second game, and after a
shocking start settled down to
earn a 5-2 victory.
Ray Thorpe, silenced in the
first game, led off the second
game by hammering a Her
genrader fast ball over the
370-foot marker in left field.
First baseman Ron Cummins
NU Golfers
Open Season
Nebraska's golf team en
joyed the spring-like break in
the weather this week-end,
and capitalized on it by play
ing matches on both Friday
and Saturday.
On Friday, NU scored a
double victory with wins over
Omaha University and the
University of South Dakota.
The Huskers downed Oma
ha 15-3, and topped South Da
kota 15V2-2V2 at the Holmes
Park course.
Tom Thompson stroked a
four-over-par 76 to lead the
wins.
On Saturday, NU enter
tained Iowa State University
of the Big Eight. The Huskers
overwhelmed the Cyclones
ll-3.
John Hurst of Iowa State
was Saturday's medalist,
carding a 79 on the Holmes
course.
For the week-end Nebras
ka racked up 15 wins over
their three opponents, while
losing only two matches.
The long wait to get on the
links may have sharpened the
Huskers aggressiveness for
these wins were impressive
to the point of being overwhelming.

followed immediately by lash
ing a double to left.
This rude awakening pushed
Hergenrader into shape as he
gave up only two more hits
over the next five and a third
Innings.
In the sixth, Thorpe again
touched the Lincoln lefty for a
four-bagger that, along with a
later single in the same frame
by shortstop Bob Robben,
brought Tony Sharpe to the
hill. George Flock, who turned
the best performance by a
Husker in the opening games
earlier in the week, came on
to snuff out the fire by no
hitting Missouri the rest of
the way.
Hergenrader's seven strike
out pitching was backed by a
seven hit attack off Husker
bats.
Third baseman Gaughan
and center fielder Johnson led
the spree. Gaughan cracked
two hits and Johnson banged
a homer.
The losses snapped Mis
souri's twenty game confer
ence winning streak.

mighty Iowa to avenge an
early '90's defeat to the
Hawks.
A testimony to Flippen's
powerful, aggressive play
came when Missouri refused
to fulfill its contract for an
1892 contest with NU unless
Flippen was benched.

The
PEG-BOARD
By Peggy Speece
They say that the grass is greener on the other side
of the fence . . . only in this case it wasn't grass and
it wasn't greener only wetter.
The Nebraska track squad started out for Iowa State
for a meet with ISU and Minnesota last Saturday only
to get as far as Atlantic, Iowa before they found out
that ISU's track was submerged under water. The Husfc
ers turned around and came back to Lincoln, their out
door track season suffering further setback.
The main problem this season seems to be some
thing called "Spring??". (Has Nebraska really given up
spring for Lent?)
Until this past weekend, the team was unable to get
out on the newly resurfaced Memorial Stadium track. It
is doubtful that it will be dry enough for workouts yet
this week. The squad has had very little outdoor practice
at all, but considering the job the Huskers did in Texas,
it would seem they could look pretty good. At any rate,
track fans would like to find out.
With the weatherman forecasting mild temperatures
for the end of the week, the track squad will take off
for the Kansas Relays April 16 and 17.
April 20, Houston and Wisconsin visit Lincoln for a
triangular meet that is, if the weather permits the
track to dry out.
And on April 23 and 24, the Huskers will be at the
Drake Relays. This meet goes on rain or shine but it is
notorious for going on in the rain.
Mr. Weatherman, if you are reading this article,
