It was mostly due to alertness on
the part of end Alex Cochrane,
whn blocked Don Evans' punt in
the second quarter and carried the
ball to the one yard line wnere
the referee ruled Cochrane's knee
had touched the eround. On the
next play Junior Collopy smacked
over for paydirt to tie the score
at six-all.
Team Couldn't Play
It was a long afternoon for the
Nebraska team, which just
couldn't seem to get into the ball
game. The line wasn't blocking as
well as it did in the Minnesota
game and the team as a whole
acted very sluggish. Nebraska's
passers were given little or no
protection and at times it was a
wonder that they ever got some of
their passes away. Husker passers
Gerry Ferguson, Del Wiegand and
Frank Collopy just didn't have
enough time to throw a pass.
Colorado players seemed to come
at them from all sides.
The Husker running attack did
not live up to expectations either.
Cletus Fischer was still troubled
by last week's leg injury and was
still somewhat hampered. Arden
Means was shaken up and had to
be taken from the game. Means
gave a good account of himself on
the line. The Nebraska husky was
sharp on his tackles and did some
fine blocking.
Collopy Stars
Frank Collopy, playing his first
game as regular fullback since
Tom Novak switched back to cen
ter, gave notice that he will be a
hard man to stop as the season
wears on. Collopy was running
hard and his performance in the
fullback slot showed he has def
inite possibilities.
Colorado wasted no time in
showing the Nebraska, team who
was going to be boss. The Buffs
took Bobby Costello's kick off
from their own end zone and
brought it back to the Colorado
21 yard line. Harry Narcission
who both runs and passes the ball
for Colorado, tossed to John
Zisch, rangy Buff end, who was
dropped on the 45. Hagen picked
up five yards off right tackle be
fore Bob Costello tackled him and
Miller went around end to the
Nebraska 40 yard marker where
Ardie Means hit him.
On the next play Harry Narcis

NSA to Probe
Olivet Protest
The National Student Associa
tion which raised so much con
troversy on the Nebraska campus
last year has begun an investiga
tion of the expulsion of 60 stu
dents at Olivet College, Michigan.
The 60 students have been ex
pelled as & result of their re
fusal to register for the coming
semester. In this refusal, they
protested the request of the Olivet
administration that Barton Ake
ley, a sociology professor, and his
librarian wife submit their resig
nations from the faculty. Outside
sources have called the Akeleys
"ultra-liberals." ,
The NSA tried unsuccessfully to
start at the University of Ne
braska last year, but a student
election overwhelmingly defeated
their attempt. On recommenda
tion of the student vote, the Stu
dent Council decided not to allow
the NSA to establish itself on the
campus.
