Pcge 4 The Daily Nebraskan Wednesday, Nov. 13, 1963 In 110 ECp Biicjj AH Tough ECU G Nebraska yielded its most ground yardage of the season and produced its second lowest rushing output of the year last weekend against Kansas, but it had no effect whatsoever on Big Eight Conference team statistical rankings. The Cornhuskers, who made off with four rankings among the top ten teams in the na tion last week (including the nation's best rushing offense) have built up such a margin that they were able to main tain their hold on Conference rushing and total offense and rushing and total offense. Kansas State, despite only 39 yards passing over the weekend, is still the Confer ' ence's top passing team while Oklahoma replaced Oklahoma State as leader in pass de fense. Nebraska and Oklahoma, which ranked 1-2 in last week national rushing figures, had their averages of 289.0 and 277.5 pared a bit to 277.8 and 257.4, but still pace the Con ference in that department. Kansas, the nation's seventh best rushing team last week with a 238.0 average, nearly matched that figure with 233 against the Huskers the most yielded by the Nebras kans this season to main tain its third spot in the Con ference. Previous high rush ing yield by Nebraska was 197 against the Air Force Academy. Nebraska's total offense mark dwindled from the 380.4 mark (third in the nation last week) to 368.0 and its rush ing defensive average went up from 81.4 (sixth best in the country) to 100.4 because of the Jayhawks' play. Oklahoma moved a yard back of the Huskers in total defense, 205.5 to 206.4, by jumping into the second spot in rushing defense and into the Conference lead in pass defense with a 69.4 average. Kansas' Gale Sayers, on the strength of a record 99-yard touchdown dash against Ne braska, has vaulted back into the Big Eight rushing lead and into contention for na tional rushing honors. On top of that, the fleet Jayhawk junior has moved just, 11 yards back of the Kansas career rushing record of 1914 yards set by Charlie Hoag and has cast eyes upon the all-time Conference rush ine total of 2,562 established by Iowa State's Dave Hopp man. Savers eained 144 yards in 11 carries against the Huskers and now has 778 yards over all. Iowa State's Tom Vaughn, with whom Sayers has traded the Conference lead seven of the last eight weeks of play, sot just 47 against Oklahoma, I and stands second with 689 Oklahoma's Jim Grisham is third with 573 (over one less game than the leaders) and Rudy Johnson of Nebraska fourth with 523. Savers' 99-yard touchdown run bettered the 98-yard Con ference mark set by Meredit Warner of Iowa State against Iowa Pre-Flight in 1943 and notched his name a second time in the Conference record book. Last year, he ran for 283 yards against Oklahoma State to set a single game Conference rushing record. His 778-yard total added to the 1125 he picked up as a sophomore in 1962 places him within hailing distance of Hoppmann's three-year Con ference record output of 2,562 yards. With 1,903 total and two games to go in 1963, Sayers likely will break the 2,000- yard mark achieved by only 10 runners in Conference his tory in his junior season. Only the single-season Con ference rushing record of 1,342 by Bobby Reynolds of Nebraska in 1950 appears out of Sayers' reach at least for this year. While Sayers was moving NU Rudy Trio Hobbled; May Be Out up the all-time rushing ladder, Missouri's Gary Lane turned in a 185-yard day against Co lorado to wrest the Conference total offense lead from Larry Corrigan of Kansas State and give the league a new leader in that department for the fifth time In the last six weeks. Lane hit five of seven passes for 97 yards and ran for 88 including a 99-yard touch down gallop to jump past Corrigan and Steve Renko of Kansas in the total offense race. Laiw now has an 847 yard total (577 passing and 270 running). Sayers moved from fourth to second with 787, Corrigan dropped to third OFFENSE RUSHING.

Lane also moved into con tention for the passing lead, cutting Corrigan's 100-yard plus margin to 10 yards 587-577 as Corrigan didnt throw a single time in last week's play. Other Conference leaders are: Pass Receiving: Dick Limerick, Iowa State, 22 for 315 yards; Punting: Doug Dousenbury, Kansas State, 50 punts for an average of 40.5; Punt Returners: Larry Elliott, Oklahoma State, 8 for a 22.1 average; Scorers: Dick Lim erick, Iowa State, 55 points. o mi QsEEfcggss mm DEFENSE RUSHING Nebraska v 100.4 Oklahoma 137.0 Iowa State 144.3 PASSING Oklahoma 69.4 imva StatP 90 1 I issouri .93.9 TOTAL DEFENSE Nebraska 205.5 Oklahoma 206.4 Iowa State 234.4 'Star of the VJeek' Smidt Typical Of Nebraska's Talented Backfield Star of the Week Maynard Smidt is typical of Nebraska's bevy of versatile backs, but draws special note for his de fensive job against Kansas ast baturday.

Monte K i f f i n and Dennis Claridge still have the leg in juries that kept them from action last Saturday against Kansas. Kiffm has been run ning with the team the last two days and may see action. Claridge, though, is not re sponding too well and Fred Duda will probably start his third contest of the season against Oklahoma State in Stillwater this Saturday. Rudy Johnson's severely sprained foot takes more from the Husker's backfield depth as the workhorse fullback probably will see little of the Cowboys this week. In the event of Johnson's absence, Bruce Smith will move up to the starting squad. Johnson presently leads the Scarlet backfield with 523 yards and 44 points that include eight of eleven placements. Maynard Smidt has been promoted to a starting berth by Coach Bob Devaney after his sparkling defensive and of fensive game against Kansas. Willie Ross, who has bad a hard time adjusting since his shoulder bruise against K-State, will run behind the Cozad junior. Dave Theisen, who contributed the best all around game against the Jay hawks, will run third at the left half spot Scout Cletus Fisher calls the Cowboys the most improved team in the Big Eight.

FOR RENT ed Iowa State a real scare at Ames and then picked up their first win of the season against a good passing team, Tulsa. The main reason for the Cowboy's comeback has been quarterback Mike Miller. Last year's Big Eight passing lead er broke out of a season-long slump to pass his team to a potent offense. Oklahoma State has scored 61 points in these last two games. Several injuries have result ed from preseason varsity basketball practice. "We've had a few collisions," admits coach Joe Cipriano. "In fact you might say we ve Deen keeping the boys in stitches." Junior letterman guard Larry Bornschlegl of Geneva picked up a 10-stitch gash on his forehead to lead last week's injury parade. Harold Cetorun, junior transfer from Houston, and senior letterman Daryl Petsch each received four-stitch cuts above the eye. Bob Antulov, 6'7" transfer student from New York City, suffered a sprained ankle. Cipriano has had the Husk ers doing a lot of running to prepare a fast-break game for the December 2 opener against Wyoming at the Coli seum. Nebraska's new coach, who is assisted by Glenn Pot ter and Bob Gates, hasn't a starting lineup yet. "We're making a lot of in terchanges and conducting a lot of experiments," said Cipriano. "While we're still devoting a lot of time to funda mentals, we're concentrating more now on team offense and defense." Cipriano was also pleased with the progress made by the sophomores. The first heavy intra-squad scrimmage will be held today, and Cipriano said the two units which will open the ses sion will probably be: REDS HaVold Cebrun (transfer junior) and Grant Simmons (sophomore) of Omaha, guards; Jim Yates (senior letterman) of Ran dolph, la., center; Charlie Jones of Washington, D.C. (senior letterman) and Neil Nannen of Syracuse (senior letterman), forwards. WHITES - Earl Wright of Lincoln (junior letterman) and Coley Webb of Elkhart, Ind. (sophomore), guards; Al Reiners of Hastings (soph omore), center; Daryl Petsch (senior letterman) and Bob Antulov (junior transfer), for wards. NU Bowlers Lose Match After losing nine of twelve games at Wichita last Satur day to blow a seven-game lead and drop to second place in the Kansas-Nebraska Con ference, Nebraska's bowlers will roll nine games Saturday to determine which five will go to Kansas State November 23rd. Steve Sandelin and Jerrv Steinke will compete with the five who went to Wichita. Kansas and Kansas State each whitewashed Nebraska 4 games to 0, and only the hosts let Nebraska win three of four. Kansas won 11 of 12 games to take first place with a 22 and 14 record,. Nebraska is now 21 and 15. Bill Ryan of Kansas shot games of 242, 257, and 211 as the Jayhawks bested Nebras ka 2910 to 2538. Ralph De Long shot Nebraska's lone 200 game against Kansas as they rolled seven. Only two Huskers shot over 490 as Wichita beat Nebraska by 42 or more pins per game. Keith VanVelkinburgh did shoot a 603 series. Nebraska totals: Keith VanVelkinburgh (BG): 603-56(1-512 1675 Bob Gant (181): 490-55S-583 1629 Phil Schenck (171): ... 557-571-4151543 Gary Mills (166): 4)W-4R7-519 1494 Ralph DeLong (162) 457495-5091461 League St.- lings: Kansas 22-14 Nebraska 21-15 Kansas State 19-17 Wichita io-26 assisted and 7 assisted tackles during the Husker's 23 to 9 win over the Jayhawks. On of fense, he carried the ball on ly once from his left half po sition, but for 15 yards. Saturday the pressure was K a n s a n Gale Sayers pro viding the breakaway threat. In the first half, Smidt and his mates held the Omaha flash to 19 yards on 6 carries. Only once the Nebraska sec ondary couldn't stop him and Sayers capitalized with a record-breaking 99 yard run that beefed up his game showing considerably. Smidt' s Star Award this week follows several previous defensive "good" days plus standing for Willie Ross against Colorado on offense. Coach Bob Devaney will start Smidt against Oklahoma State in place of Ross this Saturday, in reward for his Kansas performance. Other Husker standouts in cluded Dave Theisen, Fred Duda, and Bob Hohn. Theisen booted a forty-yard field goal, his first and Ne braska's first score against the Jayhawks after a break on Tony Lieker's fumble. Thei sen also assumed punting du ties for Dennis Claridge, kick ing four 38 yards a try. The Husker halfback booted two of three conversion attempts plus carrying the ball three times for 16 yards. Duda did an outstanding job filling in for injured Dennis Claridge again against the Jayhawks. The Chicago soph contributed key runs and passes during Nebraska scor ing drives. Hohn ran twice from scrimmage for 13 yards, but more important, he sty mied a late Kansas bid by in tercepting a pass and racing 53 yards for an insurance score.
