Wolverines Loom;
Thunder Improves .
By RICK AKIN
Sports Editor
With Michigan looming
ahead Saturday the chances
of Bill (Thunder) Thornton
seeing his first action of the
season are improving.
Coach Bob Devaney an
nounced yesterday that
Thornton has been put on the
altercate unit and will begin
to work with the team.
"Thornton is in good shape.
He has been running the Sta
dium steps and has been
staying in as good physical
condition as possible," said
Devaney. "If we do have a
chance to use him, we will
probably use Thunder on of
fense only."
In other moves Wille Ross
and Gene Young have been
moved to the first unit.
Ross Impressive
Ross gained 39 yards in
Hoppy Takes
Rushing Lead
Dave Hoppmann already
has a jump on Big Eight
pigskin toaters.
Iowa State's Ail-American
candidate, seeking his third
consecutive loop offense title,
is leading the pack in rush
ing with 188 yards on 38
carries.
Hoppmann is second be
hind Colorado's Larry Eth
ridge in passing. The Cyclone
has rifled eight heaves for
110 yards. That gives him
298 yards, but he has had
two games in which to com
pile the total.
There are indications, how
ever, that Hoppmann may
have a couple of serious chal
lengers in rookies from Mis
souri and Kansas.
Serious Competition
The classy sophomore half
backs, John Roland of Mis
souri and K.U.'s Gale Sayers,
are close behind Hoppmann
with only one game.
Roland piled up 171 yards
on 20 carries against Califor
nia and Sayers amassed 114
yards on 27 assignments
against T.C.U. Saturday.
Ethridge is a surprise lead
er in passing. The Buff tops
the list with 119 yards gained
on 11 completions in 18 at
tempts. State Leads
Iowa State has the edge in
total team offense with its
two-game total of 364 yards
rushing and 218 through air
routes.
Nebraska is second having
rolled up 455 in the South
Dakota opener. And Missouri
ranks third in total offense
on 387. But the Tigers only
garnered six of those through
the air as their running at
tack functioned smoothly
against California.
Three Husker quarterbacks
are among the conferences
top ten passers. John Fai
man and Doug Tucker are
number seven and eight on
the list and Dennis Claridge
is tenth.
six carries Saturday against
South Dakota, and Young
piled up 31 yards in six car
ries. ' Dave Thisen, who did a
fine job on defense against
South Dakota, is still both
ered by a leg injury and has
moved to the alternate unit
at left halfback, sharing the
chore with Warren Powers.
Jim Huge, right end who
suffered a slight concussion
in a collision last week, will
probably be ready to go in
the Michigan clash.
Kiffin Hurt
Monte Kiffin, 236-pounder
from Lexington, was limping
Monday. Until he is available
Larry Kramer, a junior from
Austin, Minn., has moved up
to the alternate unit.
On the game against South
Dakota, Devaney said, "Our
opening game didn't prove or
disprove much of anything."
"Don't misunderstand me,"
Devaney continued, "I'm not
against winning. But a gamej
such as we had against South
Dakota doesn't provide much
of a measuring stick. We
know that we'll have to be
much tougher to stay in the
game with Michigan this
week."
Devaney Pleased
Devaney has also been
pleased with the work of the
quarterbacks. "We hope that
the quarterback situation
stays balanced. We want to
use Deunis Claridge as a run
ning back mainly," Devaney
s-id.
"We will alternate Doug
Tucker and John Faiman with
the second and third units
units, but if one of them
works particularly well with
one of the units, we will keep
him on that unit," Devaney
stated.
Faiman hit four out of five
passes last Saturday which
were the sparks for two
Husker touchdowns. Claridge
hit three for seven, and Tuck
er had a perfect day with
three for three.
Strohmyer Back
John Strohmyer, 204-pound
tackle from Lexington, is due
back this week after a bout
with a kidney infection. Bob
Hohn has also put on the
pads and is beginning to par
take in the contact, but will
not make the trip.
Yesterday the H u s k e r s
worked on teamwork, ran
against Michigan plays and
finished the practice with
some work on covering kick
offs. Nebraska will not do any
scrimmaging due to the lack
of depth.
Frosh Show
Ability to Hit
Coach John Melton ap
peared quite satisfied with
the progress of the freshman
football team in their scrim
mage with the varsity's third
and fourth strings last Mon
day. "They all looked fairly
good," commented Melton,
showing reserved optimism
for the yearlings.
"Their enthusiam and de
sire to hit somebody is also
evident," commented the
coach in his first year as
frosh mentor.
Melton refused to comment
on any individual player as
the entire team looked good.
"We will play all boys that
suit up," commented the
coach. "This will give them
needed game experience," he
continued.
The squad will continue to
work on fundamentals like
we have been until the first
game, Melton said.
The frosh will meet Kansas
State in Lincoln on Oct. 19.
Rifle Team Meeting
All students interested in
participating in the Univer
sity Rifle team should come
to the rifle range in the
basement of t h e Military
and Navy Science building
any time this week. Details
will be explained to them.
No experience is necessary.
IM's Underway
Rush week is over but fra
ternities and other organiza
tions continue their heated
rivalry in another form In
tramurals.
And if there is one Intra'
mural sport where teams can
renew and even ou grudges;
it's football.
The old high school jocks
don the red and yellow
jerseys, limber up and pre
pare for an hour and a half
of rugged action. The game
is 'simple: merely detach a
waving flag from your op-,
ponent while both moving of
course beware of crushing
blocks and elusive passes.
Incidently, the game is
played minus pads and the
intramural annals are full of
stories of broken arms,
shoulder bones, legs etc.
In the first week of action
Alpha Tau Omega found Phi
Kappa Psi too much and fell
to the Phi Psi's, 12-6. Mean
while, Beta Theta Pi slipped
away from the Kappa Sigs
26-19.
Sig Eps over Sig Nus
Sigma Phi Epsilon had little
trouble while defeating Sig
ma Nu 25-12 while Phi Delta
Theta romped up a 34-19 edge
over Sigma Chi.
The free throw elimination
tournament is set up between
Monday, October 1 to Satur
day, October 6 with shoot
ing trials being held on any
of these days between 4:00
p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
In the qualifying round all
interested and eligible stud
ents may enter and must wear
basketball shoes or shoot in
stocking feet. Each partici
pant will attempt 50 free
throws, with a limit of ten
warm-up throws.
Scoring cards are obtain
able at the Equipment Room
in the P.E. building or at Ag
College Gym. Two men, each
from a different organization
will alternate shooting and
scoring, each will sign the
card, showing his affiliation.
Daryl Petsch led Phi Delta
Theta to the All-University
and Fraternity free throw
championship last fall -while
snaring individual honors.
Newman Club and Wesley
House split the Independent
