usker Defense Must
Stop
Powerful CU Ground Game
By Hal Brown
Nebraska's defense that
passed a stern test by stop
ping a powerful Army pass
ing game wm be called upon
to halt a crushing Colorado
ground game Saturday at
Boulder,
The Buffs have rolled for
06 yards on the ground for
an average of 227 yards per
game in tour games. This
average is topped only by
Missouri in the Big Eight.
The Tigers have amassed
1385 yards in five games for
a 277 yard average.
Colorado rushed for 289
yards against Iowa State Sat
urday while holding the Cy
clones to only 56 yards on
the ground.
In addition to a crunching
ground game, Colorado has
a more than adequate pass
ing attack if quarterback
Gale Weidner recovers from
a practice injury that kept
him out of the Iowa State
contest. "
The Buffs are second in the
conference in total passing
yaraage witn sx yards m
four games for an 84-yard
er-game average. Only Kan
sas has gained more yards
through the air than t he
Buffs and the Jayhawks have
played one more game. Kan
sas as gained 3 yards via
the passing route for a 79
yard per game average.
The Colorado aerial attack
is led by Weidner who has
hit 12 of 31 passes for 218
yards. Weidner ranks second
to John Hadl of Kansas in
total passing yardage in the
Big Eight. Hadl has con
nected on 23 of 39 attempts
for 336 yards.
Weidner is a graduate of
eight-man ball at Troy, Mon
tana, and was named to the
all-Big Eight team last year
as a sophomore. The 6-1, 181
pounder rewrote many Colo
rado passing records as he
fired 100 strikes in 207 tries
for 1200 yards and seven
touchdowns. He is called "The
Whip" because of his whipp
ing motion when he throws
a pass.
Backing up Weidner at the
quarterback slot Is another
junior, Frank Montera. Mon
sas has gained 396 yards via
tcra has completed six of 15
passes for 68 yards this sea
son. Both Montera and Weid
ner missed spring practice at
Colorado to concentrate on
baseball last spring.
Leading the ground rame
for the Buffs is fullback
Chuck Weiss with'' 180 yards
in 49 carries. Trailing Weiss
is left halfback Jerry Steffen,
a native of Crofton, Nebr. .
Steffen has picked up 151
yards in 31 plays for the
Buffs this fall. Steffen, like
Weidner, played eight-man
football as a prepster.
Colorado's top pass receiv
ers are right ends Jerry Hille
brand and Chuck McBride.
Hillebrand has gathered in
five passes for 150 yards and
McBride has caught four
passes for 97 yards.
Colorado coach Sonny
Grandelius will likely start
a letterman at every spot ex
cept right halfback where
sophomore Ed Coleman has
nailed down the job. Double
start at five position$ with
Captain Bill Elkins at left
end, Bill Scribner at center,
Bill Eurich at right tackle,
Steffen at left halfback, and
Weiss at fullback.
Single letterwinners in the
probable starting lineup will
be left tackle Chuck Pearson,
left guard Tom Wilscam,
right guard Joe Romig, right
end Hillebrand, Weidner and
Coleman.
Hillebrand set a new Colo
rado record for pass recen
tion yardage against Arizona
two weeks ago when he
grabbed four, all in the first
half, for 137 yards.
While Colorado is among
the top teams in the, confer
ence in rushing yardage only
Kansas Mate has given up
more yards on the ground
than Nebraska. The Huskers
have allowed 858 yards rush
mg against five opponents
with only Kansas State giving

BUFFALO BRUISERS
Right guard Joe Romig (67) and quarterback Gale
Weidner (10) are two Buffs who will bear watching Sat
urday when Nebraska tangles with Colorado at Boulder.
Weidner missed the Iowa State game because of an injury
suffered in practice last week, but indications are that he
will be ready for the Huskers.

Clearing the hurdles with research
i! GENERAL
At Gen Tel, we've made a running start toward solving
many of tomorrow's communications problems.
For instance, scientists at General Telephone & Elec
tronics Laboratories are working in the uncharted area
of the spectrum where radio waves take on the character
istics of light. They have already developed an experi
mental ultramicrowave system that may one day make
possible the transmission of two million messages on
a single radio beam in free space.
As a major communications company with world-wide
connections, General Telephone is helping to advance
the science of total communications around the globe.
Our stepped-up research in the basic sciences is but
one example of the way General Telephone & Electronics
combines the talents of many people and the facilities
of many companies to meet the future communications
needs not only of America, but the whole world.
