Twelve thousand Cornhust
er fans will journey to Color'
ful Colorado to see Nebraska
take on an underdog Buffaio
club.
The ones who make it to
the game, and better yet, the
ones who make it to the game
and are able to see, will wit
ness what should be a good
football game.
The Colorado team is fresh
from an upset of Iowa State,
14-7, which is exactly the
same as the margin that Ne
braska accomplished three
weeks ago.
The Buffaloes are a hungry
ballclub, and with the fervor
of their homecoming and
their steady progress they
could give Nebraska a good
game.
Realistically speaking, how
ever, the undefeated Corn
huskers must be conceded
the nod as heavy favorites to
win their sixth game of the
season.
The scouting report from
Buffalo scout Don Stalwick on
the Nebraska club reads like
the total arsenal of SAC. Here
is some of what he says.
"Nebraska is an explosive

That's Basketball?
Those who step in on a basketball practice session at
the right time might mistake it for ballet instruction or a
fencing lesson if someone didn't indicate what was hap
pening. For a new drill, designed to perfect the defensive
stance, benefits artists wearing tights and slippers in
stead of a set of basketball shorts.
All 15 position themselves in a defensive stance and
take just two slow steps in the direction of the signal. With
their arms up the cagers look like little kids steadily ap
proaching the cookie jar, ready to grab and run before
getting nabbed.
Tabbed the Cornhusker Special (sounds like a p u b's
specialty), the fundamental exercise is among several used
by Coaches Joe Cipriano, Glenn Potter and Bob Gates to
prep the Huskers for a Dec. 3 debut. That's about V-k
months from now but with eight (six sophs and two trans
fers) newcomers, Cipriano's trying to instill a little experi
ence before the shooting starts.
More Help
The two transfers Earl Johnson and Ray Amalbert
have been getting the closest look by practice observers.
Both will probably start and Cipriano hopes they hold the
key to eluding the Big Eight's second division.
bscapmg with a 7-18 record (5-9 in the loop for a share
of sixth), last year's Huskers sorely missed a team leader
an important person on fast breaking team. Cipriano be
lieves he has one in Amalbert.
A Bronx lad, Amalbert averaged over 20 points for
New York Community College last season and made All
America at the junior college tournament the year before.
Johnson, who spent his freshmen year at Loyola of
Chicago, spent last season learning Cipriano's system
while waiting to become eligible. A 6-5 husky, Johnson
will play either guard or forward and Cipriano feels he
will give the Huskers a bundle of points and add to the
rebounding.
The Cleveland native came to Nebraska after chats
with Bob Brown, 1963 All-America Husker football guard,
now with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Of course there's the returnees like 6-5 Joel Kortus,
6-3 Grant Simmons, 6-7 Bob Anttilov, 6-8 Al Reiners, 6-5
Jerry Spears and 6-5 Coley Webb. All showed improve
ment last season and can be depended upon.
And there's the sophomores, who gained an 8-0 record
on last year's freshmen team. Fred Hare, three-time all
stater and twice Ail-American at Omaha Tech, led the
frosh with a 19.6 scoring average and will battle for a
starting berth with 6-4 Nate Branch, 6-3 Gary Neibauer,
Simmons and Amalbert.
Soph. Willie Campbell will be in the thick of the start
ing forward scrap. Soph centers Brice Pearson and Charlie
Stone must show improvement before bumping Antulov,
Reiners or Webb, who can play the post or forward.
Heralded Huskers
The NU football team is ranked fifth in the country,
which leads to premature talk of bowls and No. 1 rat
ings. But the meat end of the schedule is just beginning,
starting with Colorado. The Buffaloes cannot be over
looked if comparative scores are considered since they
tripped Iowa State 14-7 last week as did the Huskers three
weeks ago.
Call it NEBRASKA 21, Colorado 6. on the basis of
quarterback Bob Churchich's improved composure under
fire and that defense, which has allowed only 77 rushing
yards a game.

"Bob Hohn is the best block
ing halfback in college foot
ball." Well, it goes on and on, and
from the way it sounds, Ne
braska could defeat the Green
Bay Packers with their sec
ond team if Green Ba

downs first.
Fans will concur that coach
Bob Devaney would like to
have a team as good as the
one scout Stalwick writes of.
The Cornhuskers art vastly
improved from the first of the
year, however. The defense is
reminiscent of last year, and
Tankers
Begin
Workouts
The Dick Klaas coached
University of Nebraska swim
ming team has shown great
improvement over the past
three years.
For example, last year's
squad set fourteen varsity
records while finishing third
in the conference. Only one
event has escaped the record
onslaught.
Tom Chambers and Mike
Waldron captain the 1964-65
team which appears to be al
most as strong as last year,
but there are still some def
inite weaknesses.
The loss of backstroke
champion Bill Henry via
graduation will hurt the team
considerably. Keefe Lodwig,
ace of last year's squad will
not compete this year as he
has elected to reserve his
elegibility.
The returning lettermen will
be the backbone of the team.
Conference champion Mike
Jackson will head the breast
stroke corps, and behind him
are senior Bob Frisch and
sophomore Stan Johnson.
In the backstroke, letter
men Dave Frank and Doug
Sutton will be supported by
service returnee Roger Corn.
Transfer butterflier Jon
Burchill becomes eligible this
year, and his addition to the
squad should strengthen it
considerably. Jon finished 5th
in the Canadian Olympic
trials. Bill Steele and Gayle
McAdams are other butterfly
prospects.
In the individual medley,
varsity record holders Dave
Frank and Tom Chambers
will receive assistance from
letterman Mike Waldron and
sophomore Dick Frank.
Letterman Terry Tice has
sophomores Bob Gliesberg
and Bob Louder to give add
ed depth in diving.
Freestyle sprinters include
returning lettermen Ron Ga
brielson and Pete Crancer
with potential sophomore
sprinters Rav Barber, Ken
Miller, Bob Nebe, Dale Park
er and Don Frazier.
The distance freestyle group
is led by Tom Nickerson who
set three varsity records last
year. . Taylor Withrow and
Mike Waldron are also return
ing lettermen in this event.
Although the 1964-65 team
will be nearly as . strong as
last year, it is doubtful that
they will finish as high in the
conference as the conference
is steadily improving.
the offense, if not quite as
powerful, is more colorful,
thanks to Frank Solich and
Harry Wilson, and the much
improved Kent McCloughan.
The improvement of the
play at the ends, and at long
last, ends that can catch a
football, have given Nebras
ka a formidable passing at
tack. Colorado has a season re
cord of 1-4, but it is interest
ing to note that they have
out-downed every team they
have played.
The first-down list runs like
this: Colorado 16 USC 15,
Colorado 14-Oregon State 11;
Colorado 18-Kansas State 10,
Colorado 19-Oklahoma State
7; Colorado 16-Iowa State 10.
This would seem to point to
two things out of necessity.
One, that Colorado has a fine
offense but no scoring punch,
and two, that Colorado's de
fense gives up yardage in
large chunks, and is vulner
able to the long gainer.
Individually, Colorado is led
by excellent centers, Larry
Ferraro and Steve Sidweli.
Sidwell has gained the starl
ing position from Ferraro. an1
was named the Big Eight
Lineman of the Week for his
play against Iowa State.
Robert E. Lee, who comes
from a long line of Lees, was
a runner-up for the Big Eight
Back of the Week. Bill Sy
mons is another back familial
to Cornhusker fans from the
past two years. Symons has
a 4.1 yard rushing average
this vear.
Colorado also boasts a coach
in whom they have a great
deal of confidence, Eddie
Crowder. Crowder, it has
been rumored of late, has
been considered for the head
coaching job at Oklahoma
University to replace Gomer
Jones
Colorado athletic director
Harry Carlson is stepping
down at the end of tiiis year,
and Crowder just may be of
fered the job as coach-athletic
director as an inducement
a g a i n s t his going to Okla
homa. If Colorado is going to beat
Nebraska, they will have to
show a much improved de
fense, an offense with a scor
ing punch, and will have to
show more desire than t h e
Cornhuskers.
Perhaps the biggest assign
ment of the three is that of
having more desire Co-captains
Sittler and Hohn a n i
coach Devaney have managed
to get the Huskers 'up' men
tally for every game so far,
and desire has accounted fo,
much of the cohesiveness and
success of this year's squad.
The Huskers are sure to be
'up' for this game, and if they
are, the Buffaloes can't stop
them.

Top Team
Statistics
Nebraska, holding 'comfort
able leads in five of the six
team statistical categories,
could become the first Big
Eight Conference team in 20
years to win all but one of
the titles.
With the season half over,
the Cornhuskers are well on
their way to defending last
year's championships in rush
ing and total offense and rush
ing defense, in addition to
taking over in pass offense
and total defense this year.
Currently Nebraska is aver
aging 280.6 in rushing, 109 in
passing, 389.6 in total offense,
77.0 in rushing defense, and
149.6 in total defense. The
greatest average bulge the
Cornhuskers have is 116 pei
game in total offense, while
the closest of the races is
passing offence, where the
difference is seven yards for
Nebraska.

Ever wonder what despicable sort of person has his
choice of any seat in the whole stadium? While you stand
there with number 2961?
Frank Partsch, news editor of the Daily Nebraskan,
who once played second string defensive guard for the St.
Paul (Nebraska, that is) Wildcats and whose contribution to
athletics has since been confined to riding the Cather Hall
elevator and then only to fifth floor, stands out as that
person.
7-26-1
Frank actually drew number 0002. But when he went
over to claim his ticket, he discovered that no one had drawn
the magical number 0001 and there was his name on top of
everyone else's.
In the eves of the ticket office Frank became Section 7,
Row 26, Seat 1.
Clutching his prize and wearing a red feather in h i s
lapel, Frank surged his way through the teeming masses
at the South Carolina game.
Huffing and puffing he arrived at Section 7 and pushed
the last ten yards to Row 26, Seat 1.
Wouldn't ya know it? Someone was sitting there.
'Dear Sir
About four weeks ago, a letter came across my desk ad
dressed to the sports editor of the Daily Nebraskan.
"Dear Sir;" it began.
Well.
It was from Wayne Bowers, who is the sports editor of
the Daily O'Collegian at Oklahoma State. They play football
down there in case you haven't heard.
He was asking all the sports scribes to predict the
outcome of the Big Eight championship race. Smugly, I
filled out the enclosed card and mailed it back to him.
Surprise
Now, four weeks later, with the poll in my hand, I am
amazed, pleased and astounded at the poll, the memory
of my own predictions, and the way the race is actually
going.
Not unpatriotic, I selected NU to come out on top. . .
but only one other scribe did.
Oklahoma received six votes for the championship.
The poll results:
Oklahoma
Missouri
NEBRASKA
Kansas
Oklahoma State
Iowa State
Colorado
Kansas State
Oh, Yes . . .
And to those of you who asked. . . yes, Chuck Doepke
docs play football here. A real goof left his name out of
the story on the Big Eight all-academic nominations.
Chuck, an education major, and a fine end on the Husker
team, has also been nominated for the "brain derby."

That could be sort of rough,
however, with the starting
front line of 6-5 Joel Kortus,
6-7 Bob Antulov and 6-5 Col
ey Webb returning. All three
showed improvement last
year and will probably be
giving priority in starting as
signments as sessions begin.
The other letterman on the
front line is 6-5 senior Jerry
Spears, used in the post and
at forward.
At guard the only returning
letterman is junior Grant Sim
mons, which should open a
scrap for the sophs and trans
fer Ray Amalbert, here from
New York Community Col
lege, for the other slot.
The 6-3 Simmons, last
year's playmaker, improved
his shooting to a 6.8 a game
pitch, third best on the squad.
The other transfer, 6-5 Earl
Johnson from Loyola of Chi

guard and forward.
