Hopes Against NU
By Dave Wohlfarth
Th Big Eight spotlight will be on Memorial Stadium this
Saturday when Nebraska meets the league leading Colorado
Buffaloes in a "must game"'for the Buffs.
Colorado, undefeated before falling before Utah last
weekend, is unbeaten In conference play but most beat Ne
braska and Iowa State to win the undisputed title. Also in
the picture is the trip to the Orange Bowl in Miami, on which
Colorado still has the firmest grip,
The Huskers, on the other '
hand, would like to be the
"spoiler" and upset the Buffs.
The Huskers have won three,
lost four and tied two snd
still have a chance for a win
ning season (5-4-1) if they can
whip Colorado and Oklahoma
in the final home games. The
underdog Huskers will have
nothing to lose and everything
to gain if they can knock off
the Boulder crew.
The Colorado attack is cen
tered on the aerial arm of
quarterback Gale Weidner,
the league's leading passer.
Weidner has completed 50 of
114 passes for 753 yards in
leading the Buffs to six wins
against one loss.
Big Wins
Coach Sonny Grandelius'
Buffaloes own important Big
Eight wins over Kansas (20-
19) and Missouri (7-6) and
appear to be headed for their
first conference crown.
Other Colorado standouts in
cluded Jerry Hillebrand, sec
ond in the conference in pass
catching with 11 receptions
for 239 yards, who doubles as
a place kick specialist (he is
also the second leading Big
Eight scorer with three TO
catches, eight PATs and three
field goals for 35 points).
Halfback Teddy Woods is
the Buffs' leading rusher with
281 yards gained on 68 car
ries. Woods broke Nebraska's
back last year with a 96-yard
kickoff return that gave the
Buffs the go-ahead TD in their
19-6 win.
Romig Leads Line
Ail-American right guard
Joe Romig heads the Buff
line corps. The 196-pound sen
ior has been an All-Big Eight
selection for two years and
excels as a linebacker on de
fense. Romig is considered by
many as the finest lineman
in Colorado history.
Husker Coach Bill Jennings
warned that, "The Buffs are
big, strong and fast and in
Gale Weidner they have the
Big Eight's top passer and
an Olvmpic sprinter in Teddy j
Woods." I

RON MEADE
Brown, after viewing the
game movies.
Meade's FG Important
Nebraska's three point vic
tory over Iowa State was
achieved on a 31-yard field
goal by senior quarterback
Ron Meade. The win marked
the fifth time in Meade's ca
reer that he has provided the
margin of victory in a Husker
win.
The place-kicking specialist,
who has now tied the school
record with his career mark
of seven field goals tying the
mark set by Vic Halligan in
1912-14. Meade has connected
on 25 of 37 extra point at
tempts. He began his heroics in his
sophomore year (1959) when
he booted an extra point for
a 7-6 win over Oregon State,
kicked two PATs in the 14-12
win over Colorado and split
the uprights for two field
goals and a PAT in the Hus
kers' stunning 25-21 upset of
Oklahoma.
Last year Meade kicked a
field goal and two extra
points in another upset win
over the Sooners, 17-14.

Buffs Meet NU in Key Loop Test;
Claridge Maintains Punting Lead
Big 8 Standings -
Cyclones Unhappy
With Press 'Setup'
By Bob Prokop
Nebraska Coach Bill Jen
nings had special praise for
Huskers Pat Salerno, Thun
der Thornton, Bob Brown,
Monte Kiffin, Dick Callahan
and Dennis Claridge following
the Huskers 16-13 win over
Iowa State
He called Ron Meade's field
goal at the close of the first
half "the turning point of the
game" and said that Iowa
State is "a good basic team;
they have got good staying
power."
Cyclone Coach Clay Staple-
ton, along with IS star wing
back Dave Hoppmann, was
upset about a headline in the
Des Moines Register Satur
day which labeled the Husk
ers, "lowly Nebraska."
Stapleton said, "We were
setup for Nebraska py tne
press ana tne aiumni since
everybody thought Nebraska
was a setup."
Hoppmann charged, "The
papers aaaea me power or
bullets that beat us."
Stapleton said, "I thought
Nebraska was a real good
team today. After seeing the
films, I'd say that NU is tne
best losing ball club I've
seen."
Other Stapleton comments-
Nebraska is going to be a
good club; they've got a lot
of potential.
I thought at first it was an
even-steven game, but Iook
ing back, we were lucky we
didn't get beat worse.
If you have to lose, it's
nice to lose to Bill (Jennings)
and this comes from the
heart."
Nebraska players were hap
py over their first win in five
weeks but disappointed that

Buffs Upset
Thrice beaten Utah sneaked
into Boulder Saturday and
ambushed the undefeated,
league leading, alledged Miami-bound
Colorado Buffalos,
21-12.
After Colorado scored a
touchdown in the first 14 plays
of the game, Buff coach Son
ny Grandelius sent in the sec
ond team, a decision he re
gretted all afternoon. Utah
came right back and scored
a touchdown and continued to
pour it on despite the efforts
of the hastily recalled first
stringers. Utah scored again j
m the second and third quar
ters. Buff quarterback Weidner
hit halfback Leon Mavity with

line Conference and unranked
nationally.
One of Colorado's previously
defeated foes, Missouri, had
another bad afternoon against
Oklahoma, losing 7-0. Missouri
fans had to suffer through
drives that fizzled at the one
foot line and the nine yard
line. Sooner Quarterback Bob
Page passed to Jimmy Car
penter, who turned and
pitched to fleet halfback Mike
McClellan, who toted the ball
over for the only score of
the game.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers
snapped a four game losing
skein by scoring two touch
downs and a field goal, be
tween scuffles, to beat Iowa
State, 16-13. Bill Thornton out
gained not only Dave llopp
man but the entire Iowa State
team in keeping the Husker
first division hopes alive.
Kansas' quarterback John
Hadl ran for one touch down
and passed for another to lead
the Jayhawks past Kansas
State, 34-0. The Kansas cause
was helped a great deal by
their stingy defense, which al
lowed Kansas State only 10
yards rushing.
The fast finishing Jay-
hawks, averaging 34 points in
picked up 1,725 yards on the
the last three games, have
ground and 567 in the air to
go to the front of the class
in total ottense in the Big
Eight.
Colorado, behind Gale
Weidner's gifted arm, remains
the leading forward passing
unit, with 770 yards.
Hadl, the Jayhawk star, is
first in the all-important scor
ing department. He has col
lected 36 points so far this
season. Behind Hadl in the
scoring race is Buff Jerry
Hillebrand with 35 points.
Hoppmann, Thornton, and
Curtis McClinton are d e a d
locked for third, all with 30
points.
Claridge Leads Punters
Nebraska's Dennis Claridge
leads the Big 8 in punting,
having successfully gotten off
34 boots for 1356 vards and
an average of 39.8. Oklahoma
State's Dave Hannah is sec
ond with 39.7 yard average
and Gary Ellis of Iowa State
is third with 38.0.
In the punt return category,
Mavity of Colorado is t h e
leader with a 17.1 average.
Then comes Hadl of Kansas,
John Cooper of Iowa State
and Dennis Stuewe of Nebras
ka. Hoppmann of Iowa State is
still far in the lead in rushing.
He has a net gain of 872
yards so far this season.
Thornton, Husker half (full
back is next with a net of 599
yards. Jim Dillard of Okla
homa State is third with 407.
Colorado's Weidner still
