0 Can Take Big 8
' "By SporU Staff Writer

'Amiable Bill (Thunder)
Thorton echoes the experts'
predictions of the outcome of
the Big Eight football race.
"It will be real close be
tween Nebraska and Okla
homa," he- said. "Nebraska
can take it if they don't get
stage fright again." , ,
The 220-lb. ex-Husker full
back said in a recent inter
view he expects . a ' "wide
open" NUrOklahoma clash
November 23.
'"Oklahoma is well-balanced
offensively, with good passing
and running. I don't think
they'll pass as much as they
did against Nebraska last
year."
i Thornton, who started in
three post-season bowls and
on the All Star team that up
set the Green Bay Packers
last month, said lack of
depth shouldn't be a Scarlet
problem.
Of course, if anything
happens to Bob Brown or
Lloyd Voss, the team definite
ly will be weaker. You just
don't find exceptional linemen
like them every day," he said.
Bill . compares All-America
candidate Brown to his St.
Louis Cardinal professional
teammate Don Brumm, 1962
Purdue Ail-American and an
All-Star hero. ."Both are
strong, fast and possess good
lateral movement."
"I can't think of anyone
comparable to Dennis Cla
ridge (another All-America
hopeful)," said Thunder.
"Sonny Gibbs, who quarter
backed Texas Christian last
year, is built like Dennis, has
a strong arm and runs well,
but has different moves."
With a full schedule of Na
tional Football League games
ahead, Thornton will be able
to see only the regularly
scheduled Nebraska-Missouri
contest.
"I told the guys last year
that they would go to the
Orange Bowl though. I hope
I can see them when they do,"
he said.
IS!

NU Coach Block:
Jacks Are Tough
Nebraska football assistant
King Block warns that Ne
braska fans shouldn't confuse
South Dakota University and
South Dakota State, the Husk
er's first rival this season.
Last year the Scarlet rati
over an undermanned SDU
club 53 to 0 in the opener and
Block comments that South
Dakota State is a much tough
er ball club.
Block coached an Arkansas
State team that met both
schools last year and he
claims the two schools are
"as different as day and
night." Arkansas State topped
both teams, 18 to 0 over SDU
and 9 to 7 over State.
The Husker aide noted that
the Jackrabbits could give
Nebraska some defensive
headaches because of their of
fense. State splits one end and
sends a halfback wide the
other way. He praised half
back Wayne Rasmussen and
quarterback Doug Peterson
for their performance last
season.

Big Eight Players Ranked
High by Area Forecasters
If Big Eight . sportswriters
and sport seas ters are correct,
the conference will land eight
players among the various all
American selections ' at the
end of the 1963 season.
That's the number nomin
ated by area newshounds en
route to voting Oklahoma
back into, the pre-season
throne room in their 18 an
nual summer poll. The check
list contains a complete back
field of Dennis Claridge, Ne
braska, quarterbacks; Gale
Sayers, Kansas and Joe Don
Looney, Oklahoma, halfbacks,
and Jim Grisham .Oklahoma
fullback. 4
Looney, fresh out of Cam
eron Junior college, earned
varsity ail-American selection
a. year ago. He also won the
NCAA major-college punting
crown, Sayers swooped to the
league rushing title as a soph
more last year while logging
the best per-carry average in
the land, 7.12. He was an all-
witfi
league selection along
Clardige and' Grisham.
Three Sooner linemen, and
Bob Brown, Nebraska's 259
pound guard, complete this
list. O.U.'s threesome includes
tackle Ralph Neely, and guard
Ed McQuarters, and, in a sur
prise, Glen Condren, hefty
end-turned-tackle, who missed
most of last season with in
jury. Behind Oklahoma, which
harvested 86-percent of the ti
tle vote, the forecasters
stacked Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri, Oklahoma State,
Iowa State, Colorado and Kan
sas State, in that order.
Claridge, the Cornhuskers'
6-3 210 pound senior, was fing
ured as the key man in the
selections and perhaps in the
Conference race.
. Bob Wire, KHAS-TV, Has
tings, warns, "If quarterback
Dennis Claridge should run
into any injury problem it
would be a long season."
