Page 4 The Nebraskan Friday, September 30, 1960 for Big 8 ener Set Op Iowa State's Hoppmann To Test Husker Defense By Hal Brown Nebraska will be trying to keep a home winning streak alive against Iowa State Sat urday when they meet the Cyclones in a 2 p.m. encoun ter at Memorial Stadium. The Huskers haven't lost a game to Iowa State at Me morial Stadium since 1944 when the Cyclones took a 19-6 victory. Nebraska has won 12 of their last 14 games against Iowa State. In three of the last five games, the winning margin has been three points or less with Nebraska winning all three. The only two Cyclone wins in the past 14 years were In 1957 when Iowa State won, 13-0, and last year when the Cyclones triumphed, 18-6. Husker coach Bill Jennings indicated that he expects a typical Big Eight game Sat urday and described a typi cal conference game as "a lively game with plenty of scrap." '"It will be an interesting game since it is the first con ference game for both teams and no team knows how it compares with the rest of the conference until you have played a couple of games," Jennings commented. Good Defense think their defense probably is on a par with last year's," said the Husker coach. Only three teams scored more than a single touchdown against the Cyclone defense a year ago as Iowa State Shut out four opponents. Teams being blanked by Clay Stapleton's "dirty thirty" were Drake, Colorado, Kan sas State and San Jose State. South Dakota, Kansas and Nebraska were held to a lone TD against Iowa State. Okla homa was the only team to really break loose against the tough Cyclone defensive unit as the Sooners romped to a 55-12 win over the boys from ; thrown for Ames. Iowa. I The West has been on the receiving end of four pitches with two of them being touchdown strikes. Another Cyclone backfield threat is Tom Watkins, all conference fullback in 1959. Watkins led the Iowa State rushers last year with a 5.2 average on 161 carries for a total of 843 yards. He tied with Dwight Nichols for the Cyclone scoring leadership with 54 points on nine touch downs. Watkins is second to Hopp mann this year with 99 yards on 18 carries for an average of 5.5 yards. He has yet to be a loss this year. Memphis. Ark., af HOPPMANN tackle slot in Thursday's workout. Joe Gacusana, a two-year letterwinner, has given up football to concentrate .?: ...

He found it when he joined Pacific Telephone in San Francisco. Here's how Wes tells it: "I remember one of my first jobs. The boss said, 'Wes, I want you to work out a plan showing where we'll need new field operating centers to keep up with Northern California's growth over the next 10 years.' I didn't know whether 1 was more happy or scared." Wes didn't tell us (but his boss did) that he handled the report like a pro. And today, as a division supervisor, he's holding down a key telephone job. Wes Roberts' story is not unique in the Bell Telephone Companies. The telephone business is growing fast '-and men are needed who can grow just as fast. Wes can tell you: "We get good training. But no one nurses you along. We hire managers not errand boys. So far as I can see, there's no ceiling for a self-starter in this business." If you're a guy like Wes Robert8if you like to bile off more than you can. chew and then chew it you'll want to visit your Placement Office for literature and additional information. v w - 'Our number one aim is to hare in oil management jobs the mml vital, intelli gent, positive and imaginative men m can possibly find."

I By Hal Brown Two conference clashes and three intersectional con tests make up the football schedule for Big Eight teams this weekend. The conference games send Iowa State against Nebraska and Colorado against Kansas State. The three intersectional battles are among the top games on the nation's grid calendar fort his weekend with Missouri going against Penn State, Okla homa taking on Pittsburgh and Kansas clashing with Syracuse. The Big Eight would receive another tremendous boost in its drive for football supremacy if Mis souri, Oklahoma and Kansas can all come through with wins against the tough East ern competition. Kansas and Missouri are both unbeaten with the Jayhawks downing TCU, 21-7, and Kansas State, 41-0, while the Tigers toppled SMU. 20-0. and spoiled Oklahoma State's debut into Big Eight football with a 28-7 Brown triumph. Kansas and Missouri are ranked fifth and 19th respectively in the latest Associated Press Poll while the Jayhawks' opponent, Syracuse, is ranked second and Penn State is in the 20th slot. Nebr aska, with a 1-1 record after a win over Texas and a loss to Minnesota, is faced with the task of doing what Drake and Detroit failed to do in the last two weeks. The Huskers must stop Dave Hoppmann, Iowa State's sparkl ing tailback, who stepped into Dwight Nichols' shoes and has more than adequately taken over for the Cyclone all American. The Cyclones have hardly worked up a sweat in their first two games as they smashed Drake, 46-0. and thun dered past Detroit, 44-21. The Huskers have met two tough opponents in their opening assignments. Both Texas and Minnesota are in the AP's top twenty with Texas holding down the 13th place and Minnesota taking over 18th after last week's win over the Huskers. Nebraska, ranked 12th after the win over Texas, dropped from the ratings the past week. Colorado will be looking for its first win when Kansas State invades Boulder. The Buffs were shut out. 26-0, by Baylor in their opener last Saturday. Kansas State was blanked bv Kansas. 41-0, after winning their opener, 20-fi. from South Dakota State. "I sure hope Baylor was that good. Because if 'It turns out we were that bad It's gonna be a long time and a long way to December," said Colo rado poach Sonny Grandelfu after last week ls to Baylor. BIG EIGHT Here's the wav Saturday's games look to us: NEBRASKA 2i, Iowa State 20-We look for Nebraska to come bouncing back after last week's loss and stop Hoppmann enough times to win. COLORADO 27, Kansas State S Colorado may not be as bad as they looked last week but they could look prettv bad and still get bv the Wildcats. MISSOURI 27, Penn State 21 Missouri is out for re venge of last year's defeat by the Nittany Lions and the Tigers should win after a tough struggle. OKLAHOMA 14, Pittsburgh 13-4)klahoma may be slipping a little but the Sooners will be mad enough after last week's game to edge the Panthers. SYRACUSE 34, Kansas 28 Syracuse has another grid power this year and will bring the Jayhawks' win ning string to an end but not after some trouble from John Hadl and company. OTHER GAMES Miami, Fla., over North Carolina, Alabama over Vanderbilt, Army over California, Clemson over VP I, Pennsylvania over Dartmouth, Georgia Tern over F'lorida. Georgia over South Carolina. Illinois over West Virginia, Auburn over Kentucky, LSU over Baylor, Duke over Mary land. Michigan State over Michigan. Minnesota over Indiana. Northwestern over Iowa, Notre Dame over Purdue, Ohio State over USC, Colum bia over Princeton, Rice over Tulane. Arkansas over TCU, Texai over Texas Tech, Washington over Navy. Wiscon sin over Marquette, Yale over Brown, Florida State over Wake Forest, Tennessee over Mississippi State. Last week, this corner hit 21 of 30 for . a .700 mark which makes a two-week total of 45 right and 15 wrong for a percentage of .750. One of Colorado's biggest headaches in last Saturday's loss to Baylor was the running of Baylor's Ronnie Bull. Colorado publicist Fred Casotti ripped off the following poem about the game: Once again we got our bellies (but not our arms) Full of Bull. And once again we couldn't Molest him or arrest him. And once again them there Baylors rapped us So I guess we just won't schedule no more Baptists. 1960 Nebraska STATE CHAMPIONSHIP super-modified Stock Car Races Sunday, Oct. 2 3:30 P.M. 50 TOP CARS AND DRiVEkS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE Rac Tim: 3:30 Sunday Aftrnn LINCOLN SPEEDWAYS CAPITOL BEACH ONE MiLt WEST ON O ST. t : Wmm In run, and the 1600-meter relay, "I couldn't time myself be race at the Summer Olym- cause I didn't know the dis pics. tance, and I trained alone.
