eat Texas Christian 14-10
A smaller than anticipated
crowd of 60,974 showed some
signs of disappointment Sat
urday as they left Memorial
Stadium following Nebras
ka's 14-10 win over Texas
Christian.
The Huskers failed to make
a rout of the Horned Frogs,
In fact they had to fight for
their lives during the final
quarter to preserve a four
point victory. It was Nebras
ka's closest win In Memorial
Stadium since 1963 when the
Huskers edged Oklahoma
State 20-16.
But even though Nebraska
was not overly impressive in
the season opener, it is not
yet time to fill the nightly
draw down at Duffy's with
tears of mourning.
The Horned Frogs were a
good team and good teams
don't like to subject them
selves to routs.
'Lackadaisical'
"We're very happy to win,"
said Husker Coach Rob Do
vaney in the locker room af
terwords, "I was glad when
it was over."
The one thing that ap
peared to disturb Devaney
most about the game was the
loss in effectiveness of the
Nebraska ground offense as
the game progressed.
"I could see the lackadaisi
cal offense coming and that's
what I worried about
throughout the week," said
the Husker coach.
The Nebraska offense
started in high gear with
Husker backs Harry Wilson.
Charlie Winters, and Ron
Kirkland picking up good
yardage through nicely sliced
holes in the TCU defensive
line.
Nebraska's first scoring
drive, which started on t h e
Husker 37 and was culmin
ated by Choo-choo Winters'
six-yard burst over right
tackle, featured the powerful
Nebraska runners and was
spiced by a sprinkling of
passes from quarterback Bob
Churchich.
Following the successful
extra point attempt by Larry
Wachholtz with 4:35 gone in
the first quarter, the Huskers
jumped to a 7-0 lead and "Big
Red" was off and running.
TCU Touchdown
Texas Christian learned
quickly that' they would not
be able to run through the
Nebraska defense so the y
started to throw over it.
The lone TCU touchdown
came early in the second
quarter after a pass interfer
ence call on Nebraska's Kaye
Carstens had given the
Horned Frogs possession of
the ball on the Nebraska 18.
Two plays later halfback
Steve Landon connected with
right end Sonny Campbell on
the two yard line. After two
successful tries up the mid-

the extra point it was 7-7 with
10:43 left in the second quar

kick off and marched 78
yards to complete the Hus
ker scoring for the afternoon.
The final play of the drive
came from the TCU ten when
Churchich, finding both Har
ry Wilson and Dennis Rich
nafsky covered, hit left end
Dennis Morrison on the TCU
goal line.
Morrison had a Horned
Frog on each side of him but
made a beautiful leaping
catcli of the pin-pointed pass
and fell into the end zone for
six points. The extra point by
Wachholtz was the final en

vaney called it "lackadaisi

Martin called it better gang
tackling on the part of the
Frog defense.
Whatever it was, Nebraska
picked up only four first and
tens in the second half com
pared with 13 in the first
half. The holes failed to open
in the TCU defense, and the
Nebraska backfield, with no
where to run, became just
another backfield.

Huskers Lead
Championships
Contrary to popular belief,
Oklahoma has not won the
most Big Eight Conference
championships. This honor
belongs to last year's win
ner, Nebraska, holder of 24
titles, including a share of
the very first, back in 1907.
Oklahoma is second with 19,
while Missouri is third at 11.
Each team in the Conference
today has won at least one
football championship.

a touchdown pass from
had driven from their own 43
down to the Nebraska 35.
With about six minutes left
to play Ross Montgomery
took a handoff from his full
back position and headed into
the left side of the Nebraska
front wall.
Montgomery was jolted
hard bv Husker defensive
tackle Carol Stith, the ball
popped loose and Senkbeil recover-
i it.
Things looked good for Ne
braska. AH they had to do
was eat up some time on the
scoreboard clock which
showed 5:21 left to play. But
three running plays netted
only six yards and the Hus
ker were forced to punt.
On the second play from
the TCU 34 Shabay hit Mont
gomery for 17 yards. The
next play saw Shabay try for
the third time of the after
noon a compact double re
verse pass which had been
successful against the Hus
kers whenever it had been
called. This time Senkbeil
saw it coming and inter
cepted the aerial on the Ne
braska 40 with 3:20 left to
play.
Now the Husker offense
was even less potent than be
fore as three plays gained
only four yards.
After Nebraska's punt, Tex
as Christian set up shop on
their own 23. On the first
play of the series Shabay
dropped back but was unable
to evade Senkbeil who had
red-dogged instead of drop
ping back on pass defense.
Shabay was thrown to the
ground at the six but got off
a stray pass in a desperate
effort to stop the clock. The
pass was ruled intentional
grounding of the ball and a
penalty of half the distance to
the goal line made it second
down and 31 to go for the
Horned Frogs on their own
three yard line. Texas Chris
tian was unable to pick up
the needed yardage and Ne
braska ran out the clock in
their last two plays.
The Horned Frogs are the
kind of team that always
gives Nebraska trouble, a
team with fast receivers and
a nifty passer for a quarter
back. They knew enough to
exploit the weaker part of
Nebraska's defense and they
were close to being success
ful. It was a big win for Ne
braska, but other good teams
on the TCU schedule this
year won't be able to experi
ence the same.

Utah State Quarterback
Holds Passing Records
Nothing is more valuable
toa football team than ex
perience, and no position
requires experienced
personnel more than the
key quarterback slot. This
reasoning, barring injuries
of course, has a lot to do
with the Utah State Uni
versity coaching staff view
ing the 1966 season optimi
stically. Ron Edwards, a two-year
regular, returns for his fi
nal year of action for the
Aggies and stands an excel
lent chance to break most
of the USU passing and to
tal offense records.
A gifted runner and accu-.
rate passer who can throw
both short and long, Ed
wards led USU In total off
ense as a sophomore with
1071 yards, an average of
6.2 yards per play, and was
second in 1965 with 1166
yards with a 5.3 average.
Edwards already holds
the USU career record for
most touchdown passes with
21 and is closing in on car
reer records for most at
tempts (he needs 45 more),
most completions (needs
27) and most yards pass
ing (needs 365). He is also
only 106 yards shy of the
career total offense mark
of 2443 yards set by Kent
Harris.
In addition, he has tied
the season record of most
touchdown passes with 12
and has four single-game
records to his credits 33 at
tempts, 273 passing yards,
48 rushing and passing
plays and 273 yards total
offense all against Utah
as a sophomore in 1964.
USU coach Tony Knap
gives high praise to his star
quarterback by saying:
"Ron is as good a quarter
back as I ever want to
coach!" This is even more
significant when it is re-

membered that Bill Mun
son who is now with the Los
Angeles Rams paced the
1963 Utah State team to a
fine 8-2 record.
"Ron is a q u i c k thinker
who can attack with the
threat of run and still know
just when it may be best to
throw- A fine leader, Ron
is liked and respected by all
our players. In short, he
has the ability to get the
job done. I predict another
great year for the guy,"
says Knap.

another senior lctterman,
Ron Stewart, who was very
impressive as the number
one signal caller this spring
when Edwards was held out
of heavy contact work. In
limited action last year.
Stewart threw 29 times,
completed 10 for 112 y a r d s
and one TD. He is also one
of the top punters in the na
tion as evidenced by his
40.6 yard average of 21
boots in 1965.
Letters For All
On lettermen, Nebraska's
Bob Devaney chips in with:
"It is true we have 37 letter
men back, but we're a little
gracious with our letters here
if we stuck close to the rule,
we would not have as many
lettermen, I'm sure. But, I
don't mind giving a guy a
letter the girls like him better."
Cornliuskers, Frogs Comment
On Saturday's Opening Game
Coach Bob Devaney said
following the game that,
"defensively I think our
play against their running
attack was excellent." On
the other side of the scale
the Husker coach was dis
appointed with the offense.
"In the first part of the
game our offense looked
good, but in the second half
they stopped us cold. We
were very disappointed in
our inability to move the
ball."
Devaney on Nebraska's
ends "We only completed
two passes (to the ends)
so I don't think they're of
the All-American variety
yet.
Devaney on Nebraska's
short kick-offs "We should
have used the on sides kick
today."

for Harry Wilson on a half

'hopes to get equal mileage
from the same formula this

"I learned the hard way

it just lets a lot of people

Big Eight and most by a
Colorado runner since All

1957.
Despite h i s impressive
1965 figures, Harris admits
he spent most of the season
learning - as did his offen
sive teammates.
"It takes a lot of time
for the offense to get to
know each others' moves
and timing," explains the
lean, 185-pound T-back in
Eddie Crowder's Switching
T attack. "I really felt like
we were coming along well
late season. I could tell it
in my own running by the
way I was co-ordinating
with our guards, John Beard
and Kirk Tracy. After I got
used to running behind
them I could almost sense
the way they were going to
attack a certain situation
and prepared to adjust al
most automatically."

Nebraska a fine team "A

"Our defense played ex

"We had our chances to
