Monday, Nov. 6, 1961 The Daily Nebraskan Page 3 Busy Weekend Adds to NU Footha 11 i By Dave Wohlfarth The tension continued to mount in the Nebraska foot ball situation over the week end as the Huskers lost their fourth straight game and ru mors, continued to circulate concerning a new athletic di rector. Chancellor Clifford Hardin said Saturday that no formal action has been taken by the Board of Regents in finding a replacement for the long va cated AD post (Bill Orwig left April 1), but "we will be do ing "something before long." The Job will probably be only the athletic director's position, not a combined AD and football coach as had been speculated. Head foot ball coach Bill Jennings', who has come nnder some criticsm lately, present contract ex pires in February. Duffy Daugherty, Michi gan State football coach, was the latest name mentioned in the Nebraska situation but Hardin said the Daugherty is ' not in the picture. Jennings Has Plenty Of Praise for KU's Hadl 'Kansas is undoubtedly the best football team we, have played," v declared Nebraska coach Bill Jennings after the Huskers' 28-6 loss to the Jay hawks. J "They've got a world of quickness," Jennings c o n tinued. 1Their line quickness, plus (Ken) Coleman, (Curtis) McClinton, and (John) Hadl what a combination!" When asked about specific quickness of the Kansas team, Jennings singled out All-Amer-ican quarterback Hadl. "You . just can't get your hands on him. We tried everything; we tried to rush him and we tried to wait for him. He can run to the left and turn and throw to the right, which is really something," he commented. "He makes that option play so tough. We were right on top of him many times but we just couldn't reach him." Jennings also praised Kan sas fullback Coleman. Questioned about playing two quarterbacks at the same ' time, the Husker coach stated that the purpose was to give Bill Thornton a rest. At one stage of the game, Ron Meade was playing quarterback and Dennis Claridge was playing left halfback. Claridge quick kicked from this position. Other Jennings Observations "We were moving the ball pretty well in the first quar ter, but you can't pass against that wind." "Claridge ran more today because he had the opportu nity. He'n improving all the "time, -Jennings said. "We were watching him all the ftime," said Jennings concerning the Kansas player who was allegedly giving signals to the team from the sidelines. "As a matter of fact, Tve were trying to pick up their signals." . "Boy, that McClinton, we "never could bring him down the first time we hit him," Jennings concluded. Other Husker Comments "The backs are what make that team. You hit them and they just keep goln'," said Husker fullback Bill Corn stock. Specifically, he praised Jayhawkers Hadl and McClin ton. Quarterback Claridge stated, "They were good, bill we made too many little mistakes. They have a more varied attack than Missouri does. The temperature didn't bother us, it wasn't bad once we got started." "I've never played against anyone that moved that fast," said Thornton about Hadl. "They are not as tough as Missouri, though," he added. 'Losing Carries Over" "We are a good young team," but this losing carries over, particularly with the younger players,'" Thornton added. We have got to get the winning spirit, and win three or four games in a row, then we would be over the hump and really rolling." "I'm looking forward to playing against Hoppmati next week," Thornton said concern ing Iowa State's tailback, Dave H o p p m a n. ''We've played against each other since we were freshman and there is a kind of rivalry between us." "The coaches had us up for the game, our offense just didn't move the ball right," said halfback Willie Ross. Ross, who was involved in a Kansas pass interference pen alty, explained," he was tackling me everytime I started to get behind him, and the ref finally called it." Mitchell Satisfied Jack Mitchell, Kansas head coach, was very satisfied with his players performance Sat urday, although the same sat isfaction didn't extend to one of the referees who called a 15-yard penalty on him for coaching from the bench. Mitchell explained that the signals were not to his quar terback, but to his spotters in the press box, giving them, for instance, the spacing of Nebraska's defense, which is impossible to see from up so high. His dissaproval of the call was of a more humorus nature after the game when the victory was final. Mitchell believed that Ne braska's greatest fault is their inexperience. "You don't re act as good when you're young," said Mitchell. Coach Mitchell believed that Nebras ka was a well -coached team and when the experience was acquired they are going to be tremendous. Right lialfback McClinton thought Kansas played one of their better games Saturday. He stated their strategy was to give Nebraska the flat passes but be sure not to let them have the long ones. He summed up the game as a good, hard football game. In the conversations among the linemen, the speed of Thunder Thornton was always mentioned. ,He was a little faster than expected, the KU linemen said. Other names mentioned in connection with the NU job have been Ray Eliot, assist ant athletic director at Illi nois; Jack Curtice, football coach at Stanford; Virgil Yel kin, athletic director at Oma ha University; George Sauer, former coach and director at Navy, Kansas and Baylor; Paul Amen, former coach at Wake Forest, and Norm Van Brocklin, coach of the Min nesota Vikings in the NFL. ! Kansas Drops NU Nebraska lost its fourth! straight game (NU has now won . two, lost four And tied one) when all-Am eric an quarterback John Hadl of Kansas proved too much for the Huskers as the Jayliawks; handed NU a 28-6 licking .Sat-, urday. Hadl was the big difference as he plunged for one TD, passed for anojher and di rected a consistent KU of fense which piled up 387 yards total offense in the game, witnessed by 33,000 Homecoming fans at Memori al Stadium in cold, windy weather. The Husker offense contin ued to sputter except for a third quarter drive wnen Ne braska took to the airways. When Thunder Thornton scored the Scarlet's only touchdown on a six-yard end sweep on the first play of the fourth quarter the Huskers trailed 214. i But Kansas came back to cinchthcfianje when Jay hajiicjiajfbgcjfc. Tony Leiker broke thr.onstL.the NU line for 35 yards to score with 2:30 left in the game. After Hadl, who proved himself "Mr. Everything" with his fine running, pass ing and kicking, led KU to two second quarter touch downs, the Jayhawks had scored again in the third quarter on a 29 yard pass play from Hadl to halfback Rodger McFarland. It was at this point that the Huskers took to the air. Quarterback pennis Claridge completed a 14-yard pass to end Dick McDaniel to the Husker 48 then three plays later hit Don Purcell on a 22 yarder at the KIT 26. Purcell made a great catch on the balL fighting off KU defender Jim Marshall with a leaping catch. N " - II- 1 1.TII1-. Another strike to McDaniel moved the ball to the Jay- nawk 14 but the NU drive was halted on the 12 when Claridge overthrew three targets. Hadl quick kicked from a halfback position and the punt was partially blocked by Mick Tingelhoff and rolled out of bounds at the KU 37. After two more incomplete Claridge passes, senior quar terback Ron Meade was sent in and on his first play fired a 30-yard pass to end Jim Huge, who wa behind the KU defense and made, a div- enswn NU extra point attempt to go for two with a pass failed as Meade was swarmed under before he could throw. The Huskers got another scoring opportunity when, aft er being pushed back to their own five because of'tw 15 yard penalties, Claridge quick kicked and Purcell, racing down field, busted into the two safety men causing KU's Con Keating to fumb and Husker McDaniel recov ered on the KU 30.
