Tuesday, Oct. 31, 1961 The Daily Nebraskan 'age 3 Jay hawk Offense Led By Triple-Threat Hadl By Dave Wohlfarth The Kansas Jayhawks will have their powerful offense on display when they meet Nebraska in the H u s k e r homecoming Saturday. The Jayhawks, who have won three, lost two and tied one this fall, are led by two returning all-conference backs, quarterback John Hadl and halfback Curtis McClin ton. Kansas, picked as the pre season favorite to win the Big Eight, started slowly, lesing to Texas Christian, tying Wy oming and blowing a 19-0 lead to lose to Colorado 20-19. But since the Colorado loss, the Kansans have come on strong, beating Iowa State 21-7, Oklahoma 10-0 and lam basting Oklahoma State last weekend 42-8. The Jayhawks made a joke of the highly touted Cowboy defense as Hadl led the way -with his best performance of the year. The 197-pound sen ior signal-caller ran for one touchdown, passed for two more, kicked a 94-yard punt into .the end zone, recovered a fumble and threw a key block to spring McClinton on a Tl jaunt. Nebraska scout C 1 e t u s Fisher called Hadl a "true triple-threat Ail-American." The other big gun in the ex plosive Jayhawk backfield is McClinton, who was an all Big Eight selection at the right half spot last year. Mc Clinton is currently fourth in the conference in rushing, gaining 314 yards in 69 car ries for a 4.5 average. Coach Jack Mitchell's Jay hawks are much the same team that went through the conference undefeated last year but was forced to forfeit two games due to the use of an ineligible player, halfback Bert Coan. The Jayhawks slashed con ference titlist Missouri 23-7 in their final game but the win was forfeited and the Tigers were declared Big Eight champs. - Kansas has 22 lettermen re turning from the 1960 team, including five line regulars. The Huskers will counter the Jayhaak attack with an improved passing attack pins the continued fine showing of halfback Thunder Thornton. Thornton, playing on a pair of bruised legs that would have benched many football players, accounted for 55 of the skimpy 74 rushing yards which Nebraska collected against Missouri in the 10-0 loss to the Tigers. The Huskers' big problem Is that they have been un able to take advantage pi scoring opportunities in their last three losses to Syracuse, Oklahoma State and Missouri "We have been able to move the ball fairly well with the exception of the Missouri game," Ilusker Coach Bill Jennings said. "But we have been missing too many scor ing opportunities." Jennings had special praise for Nebraska's ends (Dick McDaniel, Larry Tomlinson, Don Purcell and Jim Huge) and lineman Lloyd Voss, John Kirby and Dwain Carlson for their performances m Missouri game. He indicated that the Husk ers should be in about the same shape physically as be fore the Mizzou game as .there were no new injuries present. Dennis Stuewe, who did not play against Missouri, should be ready, he reported. Sport Shots By Bullet - w .

Tired Huskers Praise Stiff Mizzou Defense By Bob Prokop After the Cornhuskers were shutout for the first time this year, the Husker squad was quiet and tired. NU Coach Bill Jennings spent a rather hectic after noon but in the locker room made very few comments about the officiating. Jen nings stated that the Huskers must still improve their pass ing game in order to be ef fective the rest of the season. He felt Missouri played fundamental football and were a good defensive club. However, in the midst of his showering players, he ap peared to have put in a hard er day than his team. Don Purcell felt that their end sweeps weren't too tough and felt that Missouri had two very good guards. Dick McDaniel agreed with Purcell and felt that Okla homa tSate was a much stronger team. He felt, how ever, that Missouri bad great er staying power. Bob Brown singled out Ed Blaine as an outstanding line man for the Tigers. Bob Jones said, "They were small and rather fast." In the other dressing room, Missouri coach Dan Devine set sipping a cold drink in a relieved mood. He felt that their passing game had im proved greatly; that his boys didn't know what the word qujt mean; and that the Huskers were a good ball club that still was to be heard from. . Ron Taylor, Tiger quarter back, said it was a tough game and that the Huskers hit real hard. He felt that the Huskers were getting caught inside the tackles , too often and that, this hurt Nebraska in Mizzou's touchdown drive. Carl Crawford, involved in a fair catch controversy, stat ed that he did not have his hand above his head and was motioning off Mike Hunter. Hunter felt that the Hus kers had the best set of backs that they had played this year. Guard Paul Garvis said, "If Thunder Thornton was play ing behind the Missouri line, he would easily be an Ail American." Paul Henley and Garvis agreed that Husker Mick Tinglehoff was the best lineman that they had faced this season. NU Teams Count on Diet 'Shakes' By Roy Scheele A liquid meal that looks and tastes like a milk shake is part of the training regi men of Husker athletes. It is called Sustigen, Sustagea was tested and developed by Mead Johnson laboratories and was first used bv the Nebraska football team In fall camp and dur-i 1960. The results of its use have been highly encouraging, so much so, in fact, that Susta gen now is used by all Ne braska athletic teams. And, following its success ful testing at NU, Sustagen is being used by other schools all over the country. What Is Sustagea Just what is Sustagen? 'It is a powdered high-energy concentrate which is cap able of being digested, passed through the lining of the small intestine, and convert ed into usable energy in sev eral hours. A single serving is prepared by adding cold water and a flavoring additive (chocolate, s'rawberry or coffee) to U ounces of the powdered con cnlrate. When mixed Susta "fi fs Indistinguishable either ' v taste or by appearance f, m an ordinary milkshake. Fed to the players three hurs belore a game, Susta g2n is .completely digested and absorbed in the blood stream by game-time. Sustagea Advantages The main advantage of Sus tain feeding before games, according to Paul Schneider, head trainer at the Univer sity, is that the liquid meal eliminates the solid, indigest ible meal which does the player no good and which of ten causes him harm during a game. "An athlete gets no value at all out of a solid meal pri-: or to a game," said Schneid er. "We've taken films of stomach contents of players who ate solid meals as much as six hours before a game, and due to hypertension the food remained indigested in the stomach at game-time. "For an athlete to be able to use that food, it must be broken down and absorbed through the intestinal wall. It's much better not to eat at all than to eat a solid meal that can't be digested." Quick Digestion The liquid meal, on the oth er hand, said Schneider, be cause it is already liquid and does not need to be broken down, can be digested by most players in Vk hours. That is a saving not only of time but a gain in energy and player fitness as well, said Schneider, for Sustagen cuts down pre-game nausea and vomiting. Increases stamina and . practically does away with' muscle cramps. "We (the trainers and coaches) are sold on Susta gen," said Schneider. "But we haven't quite con vinced all the kids yet, and they're the ones who benefit. We're making believers of most of them, though. "Most of the coaches and trainers from other schools who write and ask me about setting up a Sustagen pro gram similar to ours at Ne braska will not accept the idea of feeding players only Sustagen before games. They seem to distrust the idea. But it's a new idea and will take a while to catch on. I'm sure it's a thing of the future." 'Chocolate shake, anyone?

' t , i c aw Wohlfarth The officiating' at the Nebraska-Missouri me was the worst this writer has seen in Big Eight competition. Some of the calls by the five stripe-shirted men left serious doubts in the minds of Husker fans and coaches. NU Coach Bill Jennings, usually reserved and very respective of an official's decisions, even got riled and charged onto the field two times and, along with assistant coach George Kelly, sprinted out to get some last words with the officials after the game. When questioned later about his conversation with referee Ed Dubie after the game, Jennings simply stated he had said, "Nothing, just nice game." v Jennings' bursts onto 'the field were not without just causes and it semcd right that the Husker mentor should speak up for his boys. Whether the,refs were influenced by the record crowd of Missouri partisians (42,000) or just guilty of honest mistakes, it certainly appeared that they had their backs turned on some plays. Along with Dubie, the other officials in cluded Clarence Kellog, Gordon DuPree, Marcus Rosky, and Wayne Cooley. Cooley, incidentally, was the official who was so roughly treated in the Nebraska-Syracuse game three weeks ago. He was knocked out on the play of Willie Ross' reversed field run in the first half but returned to finish the game. Maybe Cooley was seking revenge for his rough experiences with the Huskers for he and his co horts certainly, arrived at some baffling decisions. The first Jennings rush occurred when the officials ordered the chains moved up instead of measuring for a first and ten for Missouri on a Tiger drive in the first quarter. The NU boss stayed on the sidlines but yelled at the officials. Then in the third quarter the Huskers were marching and were on the Missou 48 when quarterback Dennis Clar idge raised his arms to signal the crowd to be quiet so that the signals could be heard. The crowd responded with more noise and a Husker linemen jumped offside and the Husk ers were penalized for offside. The officials are obligated to whistle time out and quiet the crowd when such actuation arises. On the next play the officials did quiet the crowd, with the help of Tiger coach Den Devine, but the penalty cost the Husker a crucial five yards when they were trailing 3-0. The third and most outstanding issue happened in the last quarter when Missouri safety man Carl Crawford raised his arm, apparently signaling a fair catch, then ran the ball back eight yards. Crawford later denied he had sig naled for a fair catch but was just waving a teamate away. The play caused some confusion among the oncharging Husker linemen and Jennings certainly had a right to voice his opinion about the matter. Other things which irked Husker fans were the failure of the officials to measure for first and tens and the place ment of the ball on out-of-bounds punts. Claridge booted one out at the Missouri eight yard line in the first half but the ref, who had his back to the ball, placed the ball on the Mizzou 11. Another inconsistency in the officials' actions became apparently in two fourth quarter calls. Trailing 10-0 with the ball on the NU 48 Claridge rifled a pass to end Jim Huge, who was tackled just as he reached for the pass. The ball was ruled a fumble and awarded to Missouri when Jim Vermillion recovered. Then, on the next series of Husker downs, Claridge tossed one to Pat Clare, who was hit and fumbled. The ball rolled out of bounds but the play was called an incomplete pass. From this corner's view it looked like Clare actually had more complete possession of his pass than Huge and a trip to the Husker dressing room after the game confirmed this. Huge said he didn't think he had it. "He hit me the same time the ball did," he said. Clare, on the other hand, thought he had possession of his pass. Coach Jennings re ferred to these incidents as "matters of judgement on the part of the officials, but they should stick to one ruling." The point of this column is not to plead an excuse for the Husker loss, as the Missouri Tigers, not the officials, beat Nebraska. This beef won't change the score of the game but it should not go unmentioned i Big Eight Rounduj) Cyclone Tailback lips Rushing Lead Standings CONFERENCE Colorado 4 Missouri t Kansas S Iowa State NEBRASKA 1 Okla. State at Kansas State Oklahoma 7.sa s ,WI Ml ..vu . .SMI t .(ion 1 .eon Tt 3.1 1 Si ss 14 M M By Mike MacLean While Big Eight football teams are engaged in a tense struggle over a trip to the Orange Bowl, Iowa State's Dave Hoppmann is having a merry time in his one-man statistical spree. The Cyclone tailback has gained 720 yards in 158 car ries for an average of better than four yards per carry. He also ranks second in passing, having completed 19 passes out of 43 attempts for 344 yards. He is in a five-way tie for third in scoring with 24 points. Hoppmann led his team to a 31-7 victory over Kansas State. In another Big Eight game, Oklahoma lost its fifth straight, 22-14 to Colorado. Colorado had to come up with a touchdown in the fourth quarter to do it, but they helped the Sooners set a rec ord for the longest losing skein in their history. . Kansas overpowered Okla homa State 42-8 and Missouri got a 10-0 victory over Ne braska in other games. The key game this week is at Boulder where unbeaten Colorado will meet Missouri in a contest that may well decide the Big Eight title holder and Orange Bowl com batant. Colorado currently leads the loop in total of fense, with a five-game aver age of 269.4, while Missouri's 235.3 earns the Tigers third place. Kansas plays at Nebraska, while Oklahoma has a chance to win one at Kansas tate. Iowa State is slated against Boston College at Boston, while Oklahoma State travels to take on W7ichita. Returning to the statistics, Colorado's Gale Weidner is comfortably in front in pas sing. He has connected 31 times out of 75 tosses for 437 yards. John Hadl of Kansas retained second with 24 com pletions out of 58 attempts for 338 yards. . Nebraska's Bill Thornton is second in rushing. He has carried the ball 81 times for 453 yards. Jim Dillard of OSU and Curtis McClinton of Kansas are next in line. Larry Montre of Iowa Stale fattened his pass receiving lead and now has caught 10 for 210 yards. Two Buffs come next, Ken Blair, seven for 164, and Jerry Hillebrand, seven for 113. Huskers Dick McDan iel and Jim Huge are 5th and 7th respectively in this cate gory. Dennis Claridge of Nebras ka is the new punting leader. He has an average of 42.3 yards per kick on 23 attempts. Dave Hannah of OSU dropped to second with an average of 39.6.
