Nebraska's basketball team reminded us that it is basket
ball season again. I hope no one was surprised by their per
formance. Comments here in the past have always overrated Husker
cage teams . . . this year the hoopla may be justified. Three
hustling sophomores are seasoned as juniors and a more
consistent Grant Simmons make Nebraska the dark horse
of the Big Eight.
Rebounding will be a -sore point, but ballhawking and
hustle should make up the difference along with what can't
help but be better shooting.
Willie Campbell, after being overlooked last year, may
be the key to success for Coach Joe Cipriano. Campbell
has something that the rigid Nebraska postmen of the past
have lacked. He is not a fixture on the floor, he moves. He
has more shots than any Husker center of recent years, and
he can hit.
Tom Baack may be the most consistent shot on the team,
but Fred Hare and Nate Branch will have many big nights
before the season is over.
It is hoped that Cipriano will "trust" this starting five
this year. Last year, a tendency to bench a player for
a few bad plays didn't help the win-loss record. But this is
first test year for Cipriano and his system is well-installed.
Minus the old tampering and quibbling, this team can hurt
anyone.
An upper division finish for Nebraska seems inevitable
this season. It may turn out something like this: 1) Kansas
2) Kansas State 3) Nebraska 4) Iowa State 5) Colorado 6)
Oklahoma 7) Missouri 8) Oklahoma State.
Three teams are rebuilding and Iowa State's shooting
shouldn't stop the top three's better overall game. Colorado
could be the spoiler . . . they never sag badly in recent
years. Picking Oklahoma State for the cellar or near the
cellar has to be a dangerous, but two Iba's can't beat the
whole league this time ... the supporting cast is gone.
If you show up at basketball games this year, you
can cheer a winner . . . fickle fans.
Sloan Leads In New Records
As Tide Team Smashes 13
Tuscaloosa (Special)
Alabama's 1965 Southeastern
Conference champion
ship football team was one of
the finest offensive teams in
Crimson Tide grid history, as
evidenced by the 13 team and
individual records broken.
Four team records were ei
ther broken or tied, with nine
individual marks coming un
der the same re-writing pres
sure from the 1965 Alabama

Cleveland, Tenn., senior, did
most of the record breaking.
He personally broke six Tide
records, tied two others and
was responsible for one of the
four team records being es
tablished. Here are the records either

Crimson Tide:

Sooners Battered, Cowboys
Hold Edge In Closing Game
Norman, Ikla. Each
fresh from frightening the
pants off mighty Nebraska,
Oklahoma and Oklahoma
State collide here Saturday in
their 60th annual game, and
to close out the Big Eight
football schedule.
Coached by Phil Cutchin.
who captained Bear Bryant's
first Kentucky team in 1946
and for 11 vears was Brvant's
assistant at Texas A&M and
Alabama, the Cowboys are
believed to have their best
chance in two decades to
break out of the Sooner yoke.
The Sooners have won 19
straight years. They lead the
mellow rivalry with 45 vic
tories against' 8 defeats and
6 ties. Last Orange and Black
victory occurred at Norman
in 1945 when Jim Looka
baugh's Pokes thrashed Okla
homas 45-0.
Hardened by a punishing
schedule that included five
bowl-bound opponents. State
seems to rate an edge be
cause of their better experi
ence and the discouraging run
of Sooner casualties that
threatens to eliminate among
others both Oklahoma's offen
sive and defensive signal-callers,
Gene Cagle and Carl Mc
Adams. But Coach Gomer Jones'
squad should benefit from
playing at home and from not
being bound by the Big Eight
the Crimson Tide also drew
spectators at a record break
ing clip in 1965, with some
502,620 having watched the
Crimson Tidesmen in battle.
This is an average of 50,262
per game during the 10-game
schedule. At home, some 327,
757 watched the six games
played in the state, averaging
54.626 per game. - -
Leading the offensive' line
is Paul Crane, an All-America
senior, who has been tabbed
by Coach Bear Bryant as Ala
bama's best all-around play
er. Crane goes at line-backer
in the Alabama defense at
critical, stages,. The 6-2,191,
two-way athlete makes up for
his lack of size and weight
with a quickness and tough
ness that placed him on Play
boy's preseason All-America
team.
Leading the Alabama back
field is senior Steve Bow
man. The 5-11, 193, fullback
has .been tabbed the "Baby
Bull" as he led the Southeast
Conference in rushing with a
net gain of 770 yards. Bow
man lost only 14 yards on 153
carries to turn in a 5.2 yard-per-carry
average.
The workhorse of the back
field, this is the second year
that Bowman is rushing
champ. Last year he netted
536 yards and a 5.1 average.
Tommy Tolleson led the
Alabama receivers. His 32
catch total was good for a
374 yard gain and two touch
downs. The 6-2, 188, senior
also set a Crimson mark for
receptions, with a three year
total of 63.
The Daily Nebraskan
40-man traveling limit.
Cutchin's hard-twisted en
try plays best when firing at
a shining target. They fell
with honor to Arkansas 28-14,
Missouri 13-0, Texas Tech 17
14 and Nebraska 21-17 and de
feated Tulsa 17-14, all five of
whom are headed for holiday
play.
Walt Garrison, Cowboy full
back, needs only 90 yards to
hold his Big Eight rushing
championship from Missouri's
Charlie Brown.
Based on comparative show
ings against Nebraska's No. 3
juggernaut, the Cowboys
could take the Bell Clapper
back to Stillwater. They
played the Cornhuskers tight
er, 21-17, and were threaten
ing to win at the gun.
However, Oklahoma's feat
of losing to the Scarlet only
21-9 with crippled personnel
on Nebraska's borne field
rates almost as high.
Comparing the two state
rivals further, State has been
the better offensively, aver
aging 12.6 per game to Okla
homa's 10. The Sooners have
been superior defensively,
yielding an average of 16
points to 17.4 for State. How
ever, the Stillwaters have
played the most difficult slate
in the Big Eight.
Rushing has been the chief
scoring means of both. Okla
homa has rushed 10 touch

punt for one and kicked three
field goals. The Cowboys, re
turning nine starters from
their 1964 offensive platoon
have scored nine by rushing,
two by . . ing, two by pass
interception and seven by
field goal.
Cutchin's squad has shown
by far the better pass defense,
giving only two touchdowns
all season, one to Arkansas
and one to Texas Tech. Tulsa
couldn't score aerially on the
Cowboys.
Jones' Sooners have yielded
eight touchdowns by passing.
However, the Sooner rushing
defense has been superior.
State has surrendered 16
touchdowns by rushing to Ok
lahoma's 9. And the Sooners
surrendered 7 of the 9 to Mis
souri and Nebraska when
they were denied the sideline-to-sideline
linebacking of Mc
Adams. Badly chewed by injuries,
the Sooners listed five start
ers and a front line reserve
questionable at midweek.
They are quarterback Cagle
(shoulder,) linebacker Mc
Adams (ankle), tailback Ben
Hart (ankle), tackle Jim Riley
(knee) and linebacker Robert
Flanagan (hand). Wingback
Tommy Pannell still has to
prove he can cut off his ankle
hurt early in the Missouri
game.

i winding up the regular season

Sloan completed 97 of 160
passes for 1,453 yards and 11
touchdowns. His completion
percentage was 60.6.
Sloan was named to the
Football News, a weekly pub
lication out of Detroit, All
America squad for the 1965
season.

Coach Paul Bryant "He de
