The memories of the fans who mi grated south for the classic are not like foremost among the less pleasant mem ories will be the famous soooooooieeeee!! ly to be all pleasant, however. First and yell of the Arkansas fans. Soooooooieeeee ! ! Sooooooooieecee!! Sooooooooieeeee!! Tigs! Arkansas! Razorbacks!!! Each Sooooieee lasts anywhere from five to fifteen seconds, and is a high pitched screech. That yell was always stalking Husker fans around the streets of Dallas. The yell, however maddening to op ponents, is infectuous, and effective. It is somewhat akin to the "Rock Chalk JAY Hawk" yell from Kansas. Nebraskans tried to counter the yell with a Go Big Red or two, but somehow it just wasn't the same. I herewith put forth a challenge to the Tassels, Corn cobs, Cheerleaders or anybody: Someone think up a veil in the same vein as the soooieee veil that will give everyone in the stands something to yell, something to be proud of, and something to defend themselves with at Bowl games! That yell was bad enough, but the really maddening thing about the Arkan sas people was that they were so obnox ious. It isn't just that they were at a Bowl game and away from home. Lord knows the Nebraska fans were obnoxious enough in their own right, but the Hogs (as we who were there fondly grew to call them) really were superlative in their Hi! For instance, they would corner a Ne braska fan in an elevator or somewhere else where escape was virtually impossi ble, and proceed to drill the Husker in the folk lore and mythology of Razor backia. (Often it was little more than folk lore and mythology.) The poor Nebraskan would find him self engulfed in a form of pidgin English known as the southern drawl and he would be defenseless because he could un derstand so little of it. "If'n yo haf ta kick t' Hatfafled, ya bctah jus crawl inna hoi'," would trans late to: "If you have to kick to Hatfield, you had better crawl in a hole." This piece of information was untrue in the first place and hardly worth the effort of translating. Another Arkansas fan told me confi dentially that the entire starting Razor back team, linemen included, could run the hundred yard dash in under ten sec onds. Sure they can, and while carrying Volkswagens, too. As for the game itself, here's a hats off to the Nebraska team and Coach Devaney. It was a magnificent effort all the way around against a fine Arkan saw team, and with a couple of breaks, it could have easily gone the other way. Harry Wilson played and ran beauti fully all day, and Langston Coleman was again a one-man-gang on defense. There were a couple of untimely pen alties that hurt Nebraska drives at key times, and there was the interferance on Kent McCloughan that wasn't detected by the referees. There was the time that Raz orback quarterback Marshall was trapped for a loss and escaped five or six would-be tacklers to turn a loss into a gain. But the most important "if" in the game was the pass to Lindsey when Ne braska's defensive signals called for both the ends and the linebackers to blitz or red-dog. This strategy had resulted in div idends for the Huskers when they used it earlier in the game, but this time the Hogs guessed right and Bent one of the halfbacks into the flat area which is the area outside our end and shallow. This area is covered zone style by the end if the linebacke crashes, and the line backer if the end crashes. This particular play, with both men rushing, left the flat area unprotected and vulnerable because defensive halfback Larry Wacholtz was covering a deep man. The pass amounted to a naked screen pass because Mar shall backpedaled and then flipped to the flat man. Arkansas gained good yardage on a play that could just as easily have been disaster for the Hogs if they hadn't guessed right, but that's football. Speaking of Larry Wacholz, few re alize the 163-pounder's value to the team. Aside from his defensive halfback chores, Larry has also learned the quarterback position in case of injury to Bob Church ich, and does spot duty at the kicking chores. In the Cotton Bowl, he made one of the most beautiful pass interceptions to grace the Dallas soil in many years. Are You A Soccer Player? In the Cotton Bowl one weakness in the Nebraska team was embarassingly apparent. That is that Nebraska needs a Drum is a fine extra-point kicker, and has done an admirable job this year in that function. He is not the strongest kicker ever seen in a football stadium, however, and one attempt at Dallas looked more like a well-delivered Warren Spahn screw ball than a field goal attempt. Last year in the Orange Bowl, the margin of victory was two field goals by Husker Dave Theisen, and this year the margin of victory in the Cotton Bowl was a field goal, but the (kicking) shoe was on the other foot. In this era of stanch defensive teams, a field goal kicker with accuracy and power can be the most im portant man on the team. With the num ber of scholarships granted each year, there is really no excuse for a major col lege ballclub to be so deficient in this de partment. Maybe somewhere on the Nebraska campus there is some ex-soccer player from Hungary or some place who would like a chance to win an 'N" with his foot. Along with freer and freer substitu tion rules comes the requirement for more specialists, and along with ; kicker, Ne braska needs a good snap-back center for punts. He, too, could be a specialist at his field, and he would be a valuable ad dition to the team. Next Year With almost all the blackshirts return ing, and promising freshman talent com ing up, the outlook for next year is bright indeed. There is always the chance for a well known disease of Oklahoma called "Senioritus", but that bug doesn't seem to thrive this far north, and rumor has it that Coach Devaney has a secret cure for such diseases. Bob Churchich will be back with a year of experience under his belt, and a great deal of company as well. The fresh men could produce as many as three con tenders for the position and Fred Duda may be back in there also. Churchich seems the pick for the job right now, how ever, and should he continue to improve as he has, he could become one of the best. He must learn to stay in the pro tective pocket longer to be most effective. He must alzz learn when to pass, when to eat the bill for a loss, and when to scramble. But all that takes time, and is mostly a matter of experience.

The trio accounted for fifty-seven shooting. The three stars of Monday's action gather points with some hot-handed hyhawks Clip Huskers for Initial Home Loss Kansas ruined the Husker's widest loead of the game 36- perfect home court record and their first Big Eight out ing last Monday night by a score of 66-56. Fred Hare led all scorers with 22 points, while Kansas' Al Lopes came through with 18 points, many in the clutch, to top the Jayhawk scoring. It looked like another de feat for the Huskers early in the first half as Kansas hit 73 per cent of its field goals dur ing the first nine minutes. Even w hen they missed a shot, frequently they got a second due to good offensive hustle and the fact that Hus ker center Bob Antulov's re bounding was hampered by an ankle injury. Then the Huskers came to life with seven straight points by Hare. With more hustle on the defensive boards and moving the ball down the floor quickly the Jayhawks saw their lead cut to t w o points at 32-30. Nate Branch, who wound up the evening with 11 points, then socred on a beautiful scored on a scoop shot on a fast break that tied it up. Kansas came right back with the type of play that ul timately doomed the Huskers a stuff shot by Wesley vbo w as alone under the basket. To finish the half. Harp Branch, and Jerry Spears lossea in tree tnrows to take a one point advantage to the locker rooms. Nebraska opened up to its 34, after the intermission, as Hare scored a free throw, but then the power of the KU men came to the fore. Lopes stn'ck home for four out of four long jumpers and Wesley added a couple short jumpers to overtake the fal tering Huskers and build a 48-40 bulge. After four more points for the Huskers, they went score less for the next seven min utes until Webb finally broke through for a lay-up. From here on the Huskers went into a zone press which got the ball but not the badly needed buckets. Kansas then Just held the ball for good shots against the zone and ran out the clock. Coach Joe Cipriano noted that the errors were what hurt the most, but he was pleased with the way the Huskers came back after such a poor showing at the Big Eight tour nament over the holidays. The Huskers next outing Is Saturday at Oklahoma State, and then Monday in Norman for a game with the Sooners. KU 'Lopes' To Win Kent Says No Husker halfback Kent Mc Cloughan has denied all re ports of having signed con tract with the American Raid ers. McCloughan said Monday that Oakland talked to him, but he did not sign. In Oak land, Raider officials declined comment. McCloughan was chosen number three by Houston in the AFL draft and also was picked third by Washington in the National Football League. He said he was leaning to ward Oakland, which acquired rights to him from Houston last week, but may want to go out for track in the spring. Signing a contract would prohibit any further collegiate competition for him. Huskers On TV Next Saturday's basketball game with Oklahoma State at Stillwater can be seen on television over channel 3.
