The Doily Nebraskan
You Can't
Win 'em All
By BOB FLASNTCK
Sports Editor
The 11:40 a.m. "milk train" out of Iloldrege Neb. is
undoubtedly one of the most unappealing means of travel
on which to return to Lincoln after a summer vacation.
That particular train stops at every little burg along
the line, (Exeter, Saronville, Friend, Funk etc) and sel
dom does it get up a full head of steam before it begins to
slow down for the next stop.
: But on my return trip to Lincoln this year I hardly
noticed the jolting stops and the lengthening hours of the
trip. The reason being that I was reading a book which
completely captured my interest, something which rarely
happens in my case.
The name of the recently published book was "Go
Big Red." It is writtten by liollis Limprecht, James
Denney and Howard Silber of the Omaha World Herald
It contains a history of Nebraska football from its humble
beginning in 1890 through Bob Devaney's undefeated
team of 1965.
"Go Big Red" brings back nostalgic memories to
those who are able to remember coaches Jumbo Stiehm,
D. X. Bible and Biff Jones while presenting a thorough and
enlightening account of the Devaney era.
The tradition of tlie "Fighting Cornhuskers" and thier
accompaniment of spirited fans dates far back into the
20th Century and the book makes it clear that the pop u
larity of the team today is a rejuvination of that long
embedded ertfhusiasm for the Huskers.
Hand "Go Big Red" to a Husker fan and immediately
he will thumb his way through the pages until he reaches
the team he remembers best. For Bob Wickham, Con
ductor on that sporadic train from Iloldrege, it was the
era of Biff Jones.
Glancing through the pages Conductor Wickham spied
a picture of one of his past teammates at Lincoln's old
Havelock High School who had later gone on to play foot
ball at Nebraska.
This led him to recall the scrappiness of the high
school teams in his day, and even to how he had almost
been ejected from a game by game official Greg McBride
(now with the Omah World Herald) for some bad
language he had ventured to use in a game with Creigh
ton Prep.
As the train chugged out of Crete, Conductor Wickham
began to analyze the whole spectrum of Nebraska football,
junior high through college and his analysis didn't end
until the 11:40 "milk train" out of Iloldrege jerked to a
stop in Lincoln's Burlington Station.

Of Big Eight
Will Tangle
. Tin Van Galder really
hasn't moved into high gear
among passers for the 1966
season but still has been
good enough to become the
eighth passer in the Big
Eight to throw for ' more
than 2,000 yards of pass
completions. ,
Van Galder has completed
22 passes so far this year
for 252 yards and a career
total of 2,024 -yards. That
places him just behind Gary
Lane, recently departed Mis
quarterback who has 2,061
yards.' The all-time leader
js another Missonrian, All
Amerlcan Paul Chrlstman
who has a 3,139 yard total.
Interestingly enough the
No. 9 passer in Rig Eight
career circles will be in
Ames Saturday. Bob
Churchich, who got his real
start on the turf of Clyde Wil
liams Field in 1964, has a
total of 1,993 yards to his
credit.
Since figures are a part
of this "treatise" It is in
number of Big Eight lead
ers will take the field in
teresting to note that a num
ber of Big Eight leaders will
take the field in Ames Satur
day: Van Galder, No. 1
passer. No. 1 total offense;
Churchich, No. 2 passer;
Eppie Barney, No. 1 receiv
er; Larry Wachholtz, No. 1
punt returner; Tom Busch,
No. 1 kickoff returner, Har
ry Wilson. No. 2 kickoff re
turn man.
In Cyclone figures Les
W'ebster is the leading rush
er. Nationally Tom Busch is
the No. 1 kickoff return
man; Barney is tied for
seventeenth in receiving.
