Another Nebraska football opener is drawing near and
the question prevalent throughout the state is how will the
Huskers do this year? Will it be another season of ups
and downs with the final season record leaving a sour
taste among NU fans or is this the year the Scarlet and
Cream will shine? .
It could be either for Coach Bill Jennings' crew as the
Huskeis have been picked to finish anywhere from fourth
to seventh in the Big Eight and win as many as seven or
as few as three games this year in the pre-season polls.
In four years as NU head coach Jennings has yet to pro
duce a winner or finish Higher than sixth in the confer
ence but many observers feel this could be the year.
Jennings' overall coaching mark at NU since taking
over as head coach In 1957 is 12 wins and 28 losses. In
clude?! in the 12 victories, however, were stunning upsets
over Penn State and Pittsburgh in 1958, Minnesota and
Oklahoma in '59 and Texas, Army and Oklahoma last year.
Jennings' Best Team
This year's gridiron gang is potentially the best Jen
nings has had and the 1961 schedule is also the weakest
the Huskers have encountered in several seasons. The
Huskers have plenty of beef and depth in the line and if
Jennings can solve his not-so-serious backfield problems,
watch out!!
The NU offense, the sore spot of the past few seasons,
is a cinch to be stronger with Thunder Thornton playing
halfback and a lot of halfback depth in the personnel of
Pat Clare, Bernie Clay, Warren Powers and Willie Ross.
All but Ross are lettermen.
Fullback may be less of a problem than expected even
if Noel Martin can't play due to a knee injury. Rudy
Johnson and Bill Comstock have both shown in spring
practice and this fall that they want to play ball.
Three quarterbacks are making strong bids for the
N. 1 signal-calling spot. Whichever one of the three, John
Faimon, Dennis Claridge or Ron Meade, Jennings decides
to choose should be able to do the job.
The Husker defense should be as tough as ever with a
strong crops of returning linemen and linebackers provid
ing the bulk to stop the opposition.
Huskers May Start Fast
The NU schedule is tailor-made for a young team such
as Nebraska. The Huskers should be able to win four of
their first five games, losing only to Syracuse. Nebraska
should have no trouble with North Dakota and Kansas
State and should beat Arizona and Oklahoma State.
Out of the last five games, all against Big Eight
competition, the number of games the Huskers win will
depend upon their improvement over the first half of the
season. Nebraska is due to knock off Iowa State but the
rest of the conference may be too tough.
Taking the middle road between an optimistic and
pessimistic prediction, we'll pick the Huskers to win five
and lose five. A 5-5 record would not be much of an im
provement over last year, however, because Nebraska
has substituted two weaker non-conference foes, North
Dakota and Arizona, for Texas and Minnesota. Syracuse
is a little tougher than last year's Eastern invader, Army.
Huskers Fifth t
Tabbing the Huskers for a 3-4 conference mark and a
fifth place finish in the Big Eight indicates the toughness
of the league. Reports from Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma,
Colorado and Iowa State all indicate improvement while
Oklahoma State and Kansas State will be the weak sisters
of the Big Eight.
Look for Kansas, with it's ail-ever thing backfield, to
win the crown, closely followed by again powerful .Okla
homa and challenging Colorado. Missouri, hurt in the
backfield and end departments due to graduation losses,
may slip to fourth, followed by Nebraska, Iowa State,
Oklahoma State and Kansas State in that order.
Now that my foot seems to be wedge ft in my mouth
as far as Nebraska and the Big Eight are concerned,
here's a shot at some of the gridiron openers this weekend.
IOWA STATE 35, DRAKE ft-The Cyclones, only Big
Eight team to play this Saturday, should have ne trouble
with Drake's melting-pot football team as Dave Hoppman
and crew enjoy an easy opener.

Steel Strike Delays
Sheldon Gallery Opening
State Youth, Adult Aim to Unlock
Potential Greatness of Nebraska
The opening of the Sheldon
Art Gallery may be delayed
a full year until the fall of
1963.
V. M. Meyers, director of
planning and construction,
said that due to the steel
strike the gallery will not be
enclosed this fall and it will
be difficult for the men to
work outside unless there is a
mild winter.
Remodeling of Nebraska
Hall has already cost $750,000
with more contracts to be
awarded in the fall.
Portions of the basement
and the first two floors have
been converted into modern
office space. The building is
being used by University
services that need not be lo
cated in the center of cam
pus. Bids for the new woman's
dorm to be located west of
17th and just behind the pres
ent residence hall will be
awarded this winter. Con
struction of the dorm, which
will house about 800 coeds,
should begin in the spring.
The old Nebraska Hall was
torn down this summer; the
University has no plans as
of yet for the empty lot locat
ed north of the Geography
building.
The North Selleck parking
lot was paved at a cost of
$35,000. This i n c 1 u d e s the
price of the meters.
Meyers said that the
University has indefinite
"thinking" plans for more
peripheral parking around the
campus.
The University purchased!
Northwestern Metal's proper
ty located just west of 10th!
street. There are no firm
plans for the lot as of yet,
but it will probably be used
to extend parking for tne
time being.
Elsewhere on campus new
fire escapes are being put on
the old Music Building, and
the corridors in the Teachers
College have been completely
remodeled and relighted.
Over 400 high-school and
college Nebraskans accepted
the challenge of Governor
Frank Morrison and Nebras
ka Conference of Youth Chair
man Tom Kotouc to promote
closer adult-youth teamwork
in unlocking the potential
greatness of Nebraska at the
Nebraska Center-for Contin
uing Education in Lincoln,
Tuesday.
Meeting" at the call of Gov
ernor Frank Morrison to 4'seek
ways of checking the exodus
of Nebraska youth from the
state," the 400 delegates
pledged to follow-up the stud
ies and recommendations of
the Conference with Project
Action a program designed
to stimulate community ac
tion and interest among both
adult and youth in solving to
day's weaknesses on the Ne

400 youth in attendance.
Through the three phase
program of Project Action
these youth will carry the
recommendations and studies
