The Daily Nebraskan
Sophomore
Holds Leads
III in 'Em ABB
By Bob Flasnlck
I'd put money on it that the most popular question
in NEBRASKAland this week is "Does Nebraska really
have a good football team this year or are the Huskers
finally heading downhill?"
The answer Is easy. Nebraska beat a good Texas Chris
tian team Saturday so the Huskers too ha'e a good team.
But in Nebraska just having a good team isn't enough
anymore. Husker fans would like their team to be almost
superhuman, a team that will beat their opponent by 20
points every week, end up with a perfect record and be
invited to a post season bowl game. Perhaps Bob Devaney
has been too good to us.
College football is a game of desire, dedication, and
breaks. Whenever two good teams ,et together, either
team can win, no matter how superior one may seem
when compared to the other.
Sports illustrated put it nicely this week
"It must be that the college players really do sniff
those mums and listen to those yells and believe that jer
seys arc sometimes retired ... A slow guy will outrun a
fast guy, a little guy will block a big one, a player who
can't keep his socks taped up will sidestep one who
can . . . This is how it always has been with the college
game, and this is how it w ill be again in 1966."
College football is anything but cut and dried. It
wouldn't be the great game today if it was.
Texas Christian had the kind of offense that would
give any team trouble, an offense with quick pass receivers
and a niftv passer who knows how to exploit a weakness.
But when you think about it the Horned Frog's only
touchdown was set up by a pass interference call which
would not have been necessary to keep the pass from be
ing completed.
The Cornhusker defense kept a potentially good ground
offense bottled up all afternoon and the Nebraska offense
showed what it was capable of doing early in the game.
The failure of the offense to move as the game pro
gressed was probably the most disturbing development to
come out of the ganie. Coach Devaney termed it "lacka
daisical offense." TCU Coach Abe Martin thought it was
due to better defensive play by his team, but it just might
be that the "Big Red" hasn't been sniffing enough of
those mums.
There is something new in the University Athletic De-
partment this year besides the red stripe that was added
to the football helmets and game pants.
Monday saw the initiation of a new walkie-talkie sys
tem to be used by Nebraska coaches, physicians, and
trainers. There will be units in the field house, intra
ural building, University Hospital, and on the practice
field to handle any emergencies that come up.
There was a letter in the mail Monday from Doctor
LJmn'W. Thompson of Omaha, Class of '42. He wants the
University to revitalize the song, "Scarlet and Cream."
I Says Doctor Thompson. "For about three decades pri
or to the second World War this musical composition
(The Scarlet and Cream) paralleled Harry Pecha's im
mortal "Dear Old Nebraska U." The melody and the
rhvthm has many similarities to "Dear Old Nebraska
U."
Let all of us join and revive this song which was so
popular in former great years of Nebraska football, and
for some unknown reason has not been played by the Uni
versity of Nebraska band for over a quarter of a cen
tury." I have a copy of the music if anybody is interested.

Devaney Praises Cornhuskers
After Viewing Films Of Game
Husker Coach Bob Devan
ey has praise for some
members of his team after
viewing films of Nebraska's
14-10 win over Texas Chris
tian, Saturday.
Two of the pats on the
backs went to members of
Nebraska's "Blackshirts"
or defensive team.
Talking of defensive line
man Wayne Meylan, Devan
ey said, "Wayne is a great
defensive lineman. After
watching movies of the TCU
game, it seemed like he w as
always where the ball was
forcing the passer to hur
ry, making the tackle, jam
'Fearsome Fivesome'
Top Big Eight Record
Big 8 Sports Information
That fearsome fivesome
at the heart of the Nebras
ka defensive unit is at it
again this year. They spear
headed a becalming job on
Texas Chrstian's running
attack which ranks as the
best opening-day perform
ance in the Big Eight Con
ference record books.
Jim McCord, Wayne Mey
lan, and Caret Stith, the
three inside up front, and
Rick Coleman and Lynn
Senkbeil, the linebackers,
stopped the heralded Frog
running brigade w ith but 10
yards, giving the Huskers a
big jump on the rest of the
league in their quest for an
other team defensive crown.
This stingy allowance on
the ground paced the way
for the Nebraskans to take,
the early total-defense lead
as they gave up a total of
only 158 yards to the vaunt
ed Texans.

About linebacker Lynn
Senkbeil, who had four un
assisted tackles and four
tackle assists, against Tex
as Christian Devaney said,
"He w as outstanding against
TCU, with a fumble recov
ery, pass interception and
big TCU loss to his credit
in the fourth quarter. '
Devaney also had praise
for center Kelly Petersen.
The Husker Coach said of
Petersen, "He is a tremen
dous offensive center, real
ly quick and tough. He's
usually the first man down
offset, in part, the tremen
dous defensive job that Ok
lahoma State did on anoth
er Southwest Conference
powerhouse, Arkansas. By
holding the Hogs to only 57
passing yards and another
143 rushing, the Cowboys
were able to grab onto sec
ond in both pass defense
and total defense.

Nebraska's next assign
ment will be Utah State this
Saturday in Lincoln. The
Aggies' recorded a 8-2 sea
son record last year and
have a good crop of return
ing veterans, but they were
beaten Saturday in their
season opener with New
Mexico, 17-13.
Coach Devaney and his
aides are familiar with
Utah State football. While
at Wyoming, Devaney and
company tied the Aggies in
1957, 19-19: won 41-13 in
1958; won 27-2 in 1959; lost
17-13 in 1960 and tied 6-6 in
1961, for a 2-1-2 record.
"Utah State plays a good
brand of football," said De
vaney, "They have good per
sonnel and we must play
better than we did in our
opening game."

In Rushing
Big 8 Sports Information
The best opening day
rushing barrage in the his
tory of the Big Eight Con
ference has given Corne
lius Davis, the Kansas
State sophomore fullback,
the early league rushing
lead.
Davis, a former St. Louis
high school hurdle champi
on, broke for 161 yards
against Army to move to
the single-game rushing top
for a Doug Weaver-coached
back at Kansas State.
Davis' total also repre
sents the best day in the
Big Eight for a sophomore
since Gale Sayers ram
bled for his record 283
yards against Oklahoma
State back in 1962.
Now fourth on the all
time Kansas State list for
a single game, Davis' tot
al included an 89-yard scor
ing gallop for the Wildcats'
lone touchdown. This jaunt
was the longest from scrim
mage for the Conference in
two seasons.
Davis was just one of
three sophomores to break
into top 10 rushing list dur
ing a year when returning
upperclassmen were ex
pected to throw a protec
tive shroud over the upper
spots vacated by graduated
seniors.
However, right behind
Davis was Kansas' Don
Shanklin, a speedy little
breakaway threat who
rambled for 134 yards
Kansas' best individual
rushing effort since Sayers
bounced for 144 against Ne
braska in 1963.
Also grabbing a spot high
up on the all-time list was
Kansas' Bobby Skahan, who
popped back into action
with a 230-yard total of
fense day, which included
hitting 12 of 19 passes for
152 yards. This effort also
gave him the individual
passing lead after the first
weekend of action.
Skahan now trails only
Sayers, Ray Evans, and
Wade Stinson, Jay hawk ath
letic director, on the one
game tables.
His big push also gave
Kansas a total of 406 yards
for the day, the best for the
Jayhawks since the Iowa
State game two seasons
ago. This total also marked
the best day for Skahan,
personally.
Riding Skahan's great on
target throwing his 12 of
19 fell just shy of the all
time Big Eight accuracy
mark, to the receiving lead
was Jayhawk flanker, Hal
ley Kampschoreder, who
collared "six of the aerials
for 88 yards. Thus, Kamp
schroeder picked up right
where he left off last year,
when he came out of no
where to become Kansas'
top receiver the last two
games of the season.
A third Jayhawk, David
Morgan, gave Kansas the
individual lead in a fourth
category, when he booted
his way to the top in punt
ing, holding a 47. 5average.
Morgan has apparently
displaced last year's Big
Eight leader In the cate
gory, Bill Lynch, as the
Kansas punter.
Breaking up the Sunflow
er State's early domination
of the individual leads were
Oklahoma's Eddie Hinton,
sophomore halfback who
heard the footsteps and
took the punt-returnirjj5-lead
on the strength of his
63-yard touchdown burst
with an Oregon kick, and
Iowa State's Tom Busch.

Cornhuskers Scare
Utah State's Coach
Big 8 Sports Information
"We could easily be 0-2
after our first two games."
These words were spoken
by Utah State University
football coach Tony Knap,
not after last Saturday
night's stunning upset at the
hands of New Mexico by a
17-8 score, but early last
spring in looking ahead to
the 1966 grid season.
Although Tony is not the
type to say "I told you
so," it's exactly the way he
felt as he viewed USU's first
tw o games of the year
against New Mexico and
Nebraska.
The game against the Ne
braska "Cornhuskers, slated
this Saturday in Lincoln, is
bringing beads of perspira
tion to the brow of Knap,
formerly known as the
"Grey Fox" but at this
stage of the gam e, the
"Greyer Fox."
