usker Offense Shines, But So Does Orange
Three Pass Interceptions
Hurt Nebraska's Chances
By Dave Wohlfarth
Offense was the whole show
as Syracuse handed Nebraska
its first defeat of the 1961 sea
son, 28-6 Saturday before 36,
300 fans at Memorial Stadi
um. The powerful Oranee men
from the East had little trou
ble marching up the field to
score three first quarter
touchdowns and one in the
last period.
Syracuse scored on drives
of 99, 98, and 92 yards with
Ail-American halfback Ernie
Davis leading the way.
The game wasn't all Syra
cuse though as the Huskers
demonstrated their best run
ning attack of the season
against the most powerful op
ponent they've faced.

The Huskers finished with
25 points for first as com
pared with 39 for second
place Iowa State and 67 for
third finishing Drake.
Stevens toured the three

Finally late in the last
quarter Nebraska marched 58

Kunning Duel
As the game progressed it
developed into a running duel
between two great backs,
Davis of Syracuse and Thorn
ton of Nebraska.
Davis was the man the
Oranje called on when they
needed yardage. Time after
time he broke through the
Husker line for gains of five
and six yards. The 210-pound
powerful back gained 120
yards on 22 carries.
However, Thornton was
even more spectacular. The
junior halfback gained 133
yards in 15 carries, averag
ing almost nine yards a car
ry. He broke loose for runs
yards, running to the right,
of 33, 19, 19, 15, 14 and 11
left or off reverses. His long
est jaunt, a 33-yard sprint
around right end, set up Ne
braska's only touchdown,

NU Marches Early
Nebraska took the opening
kickoff and swept right down
the field from the NU 30 to
the Syracuse 24 in four run
ning plays, with fullback Ru
dy Johnson, Thornton and
haflback Willie Ross each
rambling for long gains.
Husker quarterback Dennis
Claridge went for broke at
the Orange 24 and fired a
pass intended for end Larry
Tomlinson in the end zone, but
it was intercepted by Syra
cuses's Dave Sarette on the
SU 2.
The Orangemen then
marched 98 yards to paydirt
in 10 plays as the big and
strong Orange line opened big
holes to break their backs
loose.
Brokaw Scores
Right half Pete Brokaw
scored from the Nebraska 23
on a quick opener and Syra
cuse led 6-0 with 8:20 left
in the first quarter. The two
point extra point attempt
failed.
On the first play of the' sec
ond quarter quarterback Cla
ridge (first NU team was
back in) had another pass
intercepted. The Orange's
Walt Sweeney grabbed the
pass at the Syracuse 49 and
lugged it all the way back
for another Syracuse score.
This time the two-point try
succeeded as Sarette hit Bro
kaw with a pass and the
Orange led 14-0 with only 15
seconds gone in the second
quarter.
Orange Drive Again
Syracuse scored again in
the first half when they drove
up the field en a 99-yard
march after a Claridge punt
had pinned them back to their

one. Fourteen plays later
Davis scooted over right
guard from the four to score.
Nebraska threatened again
right before the half when
Thornton, Ross and Johnson
banged away to move the
ball from the NU 35 to the
Syracuse nine where it was
first and goal.
That was as close as the
Huskers got as three straight
losses threw the Huskers back
to the SU 30 where Claridge
fumbled as the half ended.
NU Starts Fast
The Huskers came bursting
out again in the second half
eager to overcome the 20-0
deficit. After holding Syra
cuse, Nebraska gain drove 36
yards to the Syracuse 10 but
couldn't penetrate much
farther as they lost the ball
on downs.
Six plays later the Huskers
were knocking at the door
again. Halfback Dennis
Stuewe returned a punt 25
yards before being forced out
of bounds at the Syracuse 33.
Stuewe picked up four yards
then two Nebraska fumbles
and recoveries put the ball
on the Syracuse 21 where
Meade hit Stuewe with a jump
pass good for nine yards.
Another Interception
Bill Comstock picked up
two to the Syracuse 10 before
John Humphreys of Syracuse
picked off a Meade aerial
and once more the Huskers
were stopped by a pass in
terception. The Orangemen scored
their final touchdown on a 92
yard drive in the fourth
quarter. Davis and Bill
Schoonover picked up valuable
yardage as Syracuse marched
the distance of the field
again, this time in 12 plays.
Quarterback Bob Lelli ran
for the extra point, making
it 28-0 with 6:15 left in the
game.
Johnson Sparks
The Huskers came back
when Johnson caught Ed
Ericson's kickoff in the end
zone and sped straight up the
right side to the Nebraska 42
before being hauled down.
'Rudy the Rocket' then hit
the right side for seven and
Thornton took off from the
Husker 49 and motored
around right end for 33 yards
to the Syracuse 18.
The Huskers weren't to be
denied this time, as Johnson
banged for two, Thornton four
and Claridge rambled around
the right end for nine yards
to the Syracuse four.
Thunder Scores
With first and goal Thorn
ton failed to crack the Syra
cuse line on the first play but
swept left end and stiff
armed his way into the end
zone for the lone Husker
score with 2:14 left.
Claridge bobbled the snap
on the extra point try.

Thornton
Praised
By Orange
By Mel Hester
With the possibility of three
Syracuse players, Dave Sar
ette, Bob Lelli and Richard
Feidler, with broken bones,
coach Ben Schwartzwalder
had little comment about the
Syracuse victory.
He did state he was satis
fied with the Syracuse cross
bucks and thought Ernie
Davis, John Brown and Bob
Stem all played fine games.
When asked about the Corn
husker squad, Ben said, "Ne
braska gets outside well, our
ends just weren't penetrating
enough."
The Injuries suffered by
Lelli and Feidler both were in
their hands while Sarette's
injury was a shoulder separation.
Feidler summed up Ne
braska as being one of the
best teams Syracuse has
played this year.
Left halfback Ernie Davis
stated that the Syracuse squad
was more scared of Nebraska
than any other team they
have played. Nebraska has
tremendous backs," stated
Davis, ''and Bill Thornton and
Mick Tingelhoff played real
good for Nebraska."
Syracuse right tackle John
Brown said "I think Nebras
ka had a better offense than
Maryland."
"Thornton, Willie Ross and
Bob Brown looked real good
for the Cornhuskers. That
Ross is real shifty," he added.
When describing Ross' speed,
Brown remembered one de
fensive play where he stated
he had just looked up and
zip, he was gone.

Huskers Not
Disappointed
By Mike MacLean
All heads were held high in
the Husker dressing room Sat?
urday despite the 28-6 loss to
powerful Syracuse. Coach Bill
Jennings firmly stated, "I am
real proud of our football
team."
"We went after them real
good, as good as any team
I've seen." Jennings added,
"I'm pleased with the effort
of our boys."
"Syracuse is certainly a
fine football team, their in
side stuff and their traps
killed us," he said. "Boy can
he move," was Jenning's com
m e n t concerning Syracuse
quarterback Dave Sarette. He
also spoke with high regard
about Orange halfback Ernie
Davis.
We (the coaches) olanned
before the game to pass a lot,
and it backfired on us. Wa
had real good kicking," Jen
nings said concerning Husker
quarterback Dennis Claridge'i
57-yard punting average.
The trouble with Syracuse
is that you get them in a hole
and they get out of it," he
continued.
Fullback Bill Comstock
stated that, "It was just like
stepping into a whirlwind."
He added, "We did real well
if only we could have scored
more." Comstock had high
praise for Syracuse halfback
Davis and Nebraska's Bill
Thorton.
Claridge felt that Syracuse
end John Mackey played
very good defensive game.
"He gave me a rough time all
afternoon," he stated. "We're
on the verge of being real
good; we'll find out real soon,"
he concluded.
Slippery Willie Ross singled
out Bill Schoonover and
Davis as outstanding for
Syracuse. Ross said, "We had
a real good chance to beat
them but they got most of
the breaks; we could have
beaten them. I sure would
like to meet them again," said
Ross.
Willie felt that Husker
tackle Lloyd Voss and half
back Thorton played extreme
ly well.
Husker halfback Dennis
Stuewe commented, "They
were good but I think we hit
harder than they did. Syra
cuse sure tooK advantage of
their breaks. Everyone on the
Nebraska team played well,"
he added.
