With the Husker football team in the midst of the Big Eight title fight, a spiel on basketball seems a, little out of place, but kwp in mind that the first game is four weeks away. Although the wins may come in bucketfuls, the Huskers are going to be interesting and fun to watch. In the past few years Nebraska has used a conserva tive game, going with a give-and-go style when Jerry Bush took the reins. Such a style was the most effective, with the material the Coliseum Bear had. But now, with Joe Cipriano in his first year as coach, hopes of running for points seems to be taking shape. And, though this is a big transition from the perennial style, a few of the cagers seems to be making the adaption well. Namely, Bob Cebrun, Earl Wright, Jim Yates and Neil Nannen. Cebrun, a transfer, appears to be the most polished. He has the moves, a nice touch from outside and, from early and short vlewings, gives the impression of a floor leader. Last year a court general was sorely missed. Nannen showed signs of it, but not since Rex Swett graduated two years ago has a definite leader been apparent. Ciprano has little trouble in seeing the weaknesses. "Defense and rebounding," he says. "We are going to start working on that." Rebounding could be an all but insolvable problem. Last year's leaders in this category, Ivan Grupe and Bill Vincent (whose tragic death also put a crimp in the scor ing plans), are gone. Yates, out last year, looks like the top man off the boards and Cipriano is also pleased with his ability to go with the running, fast-break game. Bock to Football The Sunflower State may be sick of Fred Duda come Saturday. The sophomore quarterback looks as though he will get the nod to start for Scarlet and Cream with Dennis Claridge on the shelf with a bad thigh. Duda proved himself in the 28-6 win over Kansas State and let's hope that he establishes himself further against the Jayhawks. One thing that makes Duda impressive is his ability to get away from rushing linemen when he can't find an open receiver. .. A quick look at the statistics shows that -Fred has lost only two yards rushing (80 gained): a commendable feat for being but a sophomore. He has hit 9 of 22 passes for 117 yards. Prediction: I started out the week optimistic, but now that the chips are down I'm not so sure. With a squinting eye: NEBRASKA 21, Kansas 10. (Sav ers great, middle of line weak, we'll soon see.) Big Eight leader Nebraska will meet revenge-minded Kansas University Saturday in a must game for the Husk ers. Last year both teams en tered the game with identical conference records . . . Ne braska, fresh from a national ly televised defeat by Missou ri, upset the Jayhawks 40-16. While fans awaited the run ning explosion of Kansas Gale Sayers, Nebraska's Willie Ross scored touchdowns on runs of 32, 26, and 4 yards. Although Ross has yet to score a touchdown for the Huskers this fall, it can be assured that the Kansas de fense will be determined not to allow Ross the free access to the goal line that he had last year. Soph Fred Duda is expected to assume starting quarter b a c k duties as Denny Cla ridge is still a doubtful start er for the game. Ironically enough in last year's game, Claridge was limited to hand ing off the ball. He had suf fered a sprained ankle in the previous week's game w t i h Mssouri. The Cornhuskers enter the game leading the nation in rushing offense. Help for the Cornhusker rushing game will be expected from senior fullback Rudy Johnson who ranks 12th in the Nation the rushing charts. in A sell-out crowd of 38,000 will watch the Parents Day spectacle. Many fans will get their first look at Gale Say ers since he played in the 1961 Nebraska Shrine Bowl. The highly touted Sayers played prep football at Omaha Cen tral where he set an inter-city scoring record two years in a row. Kansas will show the Husk ers with a versaile offense. With Sayers at halfback and Ken Coleman and Armand Baughman at fullback, quar terback Steve Renko has a sound rushing game to strengthen his passing. Husker mentor Bob De vaney called Renko "another Isaacson, Mira or Gary Lane to Nebraska." Jayhawk coach, Jack Mitchell said it is difficult to prepare for the Nebraska game because "They do so many things so well and have such good personnel." Since 1917 the Huskers have won 34, lost 10 and have tied in the Kansas series. Devaney is expected to add another win to his all-time coaching record Saturday. National prognosticators pick the Nebraska over Kansas University in a vital game for the Husker title hopes. Delts To Defend Crown Against Phi Psi Gridders Today "begins the, All-University intramural football tournament. One of the top games today matches Delta Tau Delta-A (5 and 0 and champion of League 1-A) against Phi Kap pa Psi-A (4 and 1).

New York's Will Grimsley predicts a 24-14 win for the Huskers but adds "the Cornhuskers are still living on borrowed time after last week's squeak er." UPI's Steve Snider fore casts a 21-17 win for the Huskers. A win Saturday will give Devaney a 16-2 record at Nebraska. ' ' ' ,-lr i i " J(tiIw,', mmmmm mm ft 4. 1 JAYHAWKS RUN TOO Fullback Ken Coleman's power gives Kansas a contrast to the flashy speed of Gayle Sayers. . Sayers Returns Wanting Victory On Husker Turf How does a man feel when he returns to his home state to play "their" state universi ty? Gale Sayers, second-leading rusher in the Big Eight, said, "I just want to try to play my regular game. If you try too hard, you start hobbling the ball. I want to beat Nebras ka, sure. Not because I'm from Nebraska, but because it's a conference game. And you always try to win as many as you can." Junior halfback Sayers is a big factor in the Kansas re surgence after the Jayhawks lost their first two conference games. They have won their last two games by the com bined score of 75 to 7. Lead ing the nation in rushing until the Kansas State game, Say ers gained "only" 79 yards for a total of 634. He averages 6.6 yards per carry, just under Rudy John son's 6.7. Sayers shocked Jayhawk fans by deliberately striving for more weight after he opened his varsity career last year. A series of two shots per week administered by the team physician ("I don't know what they were, but they sure have helped.") Brought his weight up from 175 to over 200. Sayers now just weighs 198. "Added weight helped?" Sayers echoes the question. "I know it has. I got banged up a lot last year. I don't feel it nearly so much this season. I don't feel that I've lost any speed either." The former track and foot ball flash from Omaha Cen tral wears the old-fashioned NU Bowlers Top Kansas Squads While the football team hosts Kansas tomorrow, Ne braska's league-leading bowl ing team in the Kansas-Nebraska Lesgu goes to Wich ita for a National Intercolle giate Bowling Association match. Nebraska currently has an 18 and 6 league record to lead by seven games. Bowlers making the trip are: Keith VanVelkinburgh, Phil S c h e n c k, Bob Gant, Ralph DeLong, and Gary Mills. Nebraska also holds the fol lowing statistical leads: high team game 1048; high team series 2948; high team av erage per game 918. 1.0V. 21, 22, 1S63 Research I Development Engineering I Man ufacturing (Engineering) I Programming I Marketing Sales I Systems Engineering I Customer Engineering I If you cannot attend the interview, write or call: I D.

This statement helps explain the work at IBM today: seeking and finding new ways to handle information, planning and building new machin ery for the task, exploring wholly new methods. I The demand for ideas has never been greater. If you'd like to check into the new things going on at IBM and the significant .professional oppor tunities opening up there for men and women see your college placement officer and make an appointment to talk with IBM representatives. I IBM is an Equal Opportunity Employer. I MOVE AHEAD SEE high-top shoes instead of the normal low-cut ones of a half back. Sayers explained that they give his ankle a little pro tection. (He wore low shoes last year but hurt his ankle in the first practice last spring and again in this season's opener against TCU). "Our equipment man weighed both types and found only two ounces difference. I don't fig ure two ounces is going to slow me down," says Sayers. Sayers now is just 156 yards short of Charlie Hoag's (1950 1952) all-time Kansas record of 1914 yards, and Gale knows he may easily have to set the new record tomorrow to de feat the Cornhuskers in the 70th meeting of the two clubs. f: 7f i '', ' i 7 J" jrr- ,"' ' V'lw'", 't h'- jr I V, f SAYERS COMES HOME Kansas star Gayle Sayers will attempt to make a "successful" homecoming of Saturday's game with Nebraska.
