Meade seemed to reflect the attitude of the entire Cornhusker team in that they were elated over the season opener. He also was confident about the future, saying, "We can beat anybody." Bill 'Thunder" Thornton felt that the backs had a dif ficult time getting footing, and that the score might have been higher if the field had not been so wet. Thornton said that the team was in "great shape. We were right in there all the time. We had good passing and a tremen dous defensive line." When asked about the fu ture, the Toledo star retorted. '"We're going to be tough, real tough." Huge Optimistic Jim Huge, who had a good day for himself, recovering a fumble, catching two passes and intercepting another, felt that "the rest of the teams are going to be tougher. We've sure got good chances, though." Bill Comstock, who had a six point afternoon, thought that "We were a little rag ged, but you can be sure that we will win our share. The line was great," said the jun ior fullback from Scottsbluff.

There was another shock in Kansas but with a different tang tied to it Kansas State, which proved the predictors to be wrong again by upset ting Indiana 14-8. Reigning at the top of the Big Eight list is Iowa State after their conference w i a over Oklahoma State 14-7. One man dominated the Cy clones scoring column with both touchdowns.

Concerning next week, he said, "Arizona will be tougher, but we will do well." Sioux Coach Proud "We're proud of our team," was the comment made by North Dakota coach Whitey Helling. Helling also stated his boys had a little of that old disease, stage fright. "With the defense set to stop the power of Bill 'Thun der' Thornton we might have helped some of the other Ne braska backs and I know we helped their air attack," was another comment made by the Sioux head coach. Duane Breitling, North Da kota center, praised the half back Thornton and tackle Bob Jones along with the tricky traps Nebraska execut ed for good yardage. Other Cornhuskers who were pin pointed by the North Dakota club as being tough were Don Purcell, Ron Meade and Pat Clare. Bill Leifur, former Nebras ka footballer who didn't see action because of injuries, commented that Nebraska has seemed to open up on of fense and have gone to the air much more than in previ ous years. North Dakota, with their first string center on the in jury list with a broken foot, had troubles with four of the snaps. "Snapped it a little too quick on that first one," said Breitling, "I don't know what happened on the next bad one." up against the Minnesota Gophers.

Nebraska came out of the rain-soaked opener with no serious injuries.

A young man (wes off to college, leaving his home town sweetheart with vow of eternal love, and then he finds that he lias outgrown her. What, in such cases, is the honorable tiling to do? Well sir, you can do what Rock Sigafoo did. When Rock left Cut and Shoot, Pa., he said to Li sweetheart; a simple country lass named Te3 d' l"rbeville$, '"My dear, though I am far away in college, I will love you always. I will never look at another girl. If I do, may my eyeballs parch and wither, may my viscera wTithe like aiders, may the moths get my new tweed jacket"' Then lie clutched Tes to his lioom and planted a final kiss upon her fragraut young skull and went away, meaning with all his heart to 1 faithful. But on the very first day of college he met a coed named l ata Morgana, a girl of such sophistication, such poie, uch ta.oir-fnirf as Rock had never beheld. She sxAe knowingly .f Franj Kafka, she hummed Miurt, she smoked Marlboro. Now, Rock didn't know Franz Kafka from Paucho Villa, or Mozart from James K. Polk, but Marilyn he knew full well.

Rock thought about TVs. and then he thought al-out 1 ata and then a great sadness fell upon him. Suddenly he knew he had outgrown young, innocent Tes; his heart now belonged to smart, sophisticated Fata. Rock, being above all things honorable, returned forthwith to his home town and walked up to Tess and looked her in the eve and said manlily, "I do not love you any more. I love girl named Fata Morgana. You can hit me in the stomach.with all vour might if you like." "That's okay, liey," said Tess amiably. "I don't love yo neither. I found a new boy." "What ia his name?" asked Rock. "Franx Kafka," said Tess. "A splendid fellow," said Rock and shook Taw hand, and tbey have remained good friends to this day.

For Monday's workout, Gary Toogood replaced the injured Jones at number one left tackle with Monte Kiffin running number two. George Haney and Ron Michka, who saw plenty of action Saturday, were the top two centers. Tingelhoff was still confined to Student Health, Jennings added. Jennings had plenty of praise for the Huskers in their opener and called the ability of the Huskers to get up even if they'd been knocked down, "a good sec ond effort." He reported that quarter back Ron Meade, "threw well and ran the ball club well." Claridge Looks Good He also praised quarter back Dennis Claridge, who lived up to his billing in his first game as a Husker, and defensive halfback Warren Powers. Linemen receiving praise from the NU head coach in cluded Bob Brown, Jones, Toogood, Ed Mitchell and Ty rone Robertson. Archie Cobb's status in re gard to his attempt for a draft deferment is still un known, according to Jennings. Cobb, NU's punting special ist, is scheduled to be draft ed into the service Oct. 1. Jennings said he planned to use Cobb again this week. Dick McDaniel, senior end, tied a varsity record when he caught five passes, a 1 1 from quarterback Meade, in the Husker opener. Coach Jennings swept the bench during the game, us ing 46 players, including five quarterbacks, whom he said he felt performed well. ivith Author of "IWata Teenage Dwarf," "The Many Love of Dobie Gillit," etc.)
