Big 8 Shines In Relays
Husker 440 Relay Cops First
The Big Eight Conference
continued its domination of the
Texas Relays Saturday by tak
ing top honors in four of the
seven relays.
Nebraska's 440-yard relay
team rambled to victory over
Texas A&M by four-tenths of
a second. The Husker sprint
quartet of Tom Millsap, Dave
Crook, Lynn Headley, and
Charlie Green posted a time
of :40.5 in their winning ef
fort. Saturday's time was a
half a second faster than the
:31.0 mark the team recorded
In qualifying over the quarter
mile on Friday.
Kansas won two relays, tak
ing the distance medley Fri
day and the four mile relay
on Saturday.
The Jayhawks picked on
conference foe Missouri in
Friday's event. Tiger Robin
Lingle turned in a 4:04.0 mile
in the medley for the losers.
Saturday, Kansas took the

measure of Abilene Cristian
in the four-mile relay.
The final Big Eight victory
was in the two-mile relay. Ok
lahoma State uset the favored
Missouri team in that event
with a time of 7:24.0.
One area of Relays seems
securily in the hands ot Tex
ans and the Southwest Con
ference. This is the shot-put as
thrown by mighty Texas
A&M soDhomore Randy Mat-
son. The nineteen year-old
Olympic veteran tossed the
16-pound ball 67 feet nine
inches, one inch short of the
existing world record held by
Dallas Long.
In the college division, Abi
lene Christian put on a sen
sational display in the mile
relay. They took the event in
3:07.9; 3.3 seconds off the
world record -owned by Ari
zona State.

"In spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of . . ." spring football. (Aw, c'mon, some of us
are thinking of football.)
Anyway, those who are thinking of football are likely
to be wearing a kind of sheepish grin, for Nebraska foot
ball prospects have seldom looked so bright.
The entire defensive team returns with the exception
of Joe McNulty, who will graduate, and Bernie McGinn,
who probably will elect to graduate this spring and give
up his last year of eligibility.
The offense, despite Devaney's outward concern, can
hardly be looked upon with too much distress despite the
need of adequate improvement from some of last year's
non-lettering squad members. (Devaney actually had the
pessimistic audacity to pretend to be worried about depth
at end in his pre-spring practice analysis of position. Last
year Nebraska had about the finest end corps in the na
tion; only Chuck Doepke (non-starting utility end) John
Koinzan (spot player) and Preston Love (not on Big Eight
traveling squad) are lost. Tony Jeter, Freeman White,
Langston Coleman, Mike Grace and Bill Haug return as
lettermen along with red-shirt Tom Smith, squad member
Larry Casey, and a host of men off the Frosh squad.)
If Coach Devaney is worried a great deal about end
depth, there aren't a great many problems as things stack
up at this juncture.
From this sports desk one problem seems evident at
this point for next fall's Cornhuskers the development of
a field-goal kicker.
The pros have seen the importance indeed the neces
sityof having a kicking specialist for many years. In
college ball the Southwest Conference has long been stress
ing the kicking game. In fact, a field goal kicker proved
to be the only difference between the nation's post-season
number-one team, Arkansas, and Nebraska.
Now that we're in the Bob Devaney era an era to
rival the best of Jumbo, Steihm, Dana X. Bible, and Biff
Jones it's time to get ourselves a guy who has a chance
for three points with his toe when we get inside the thirty
yard line. If Nebraska is going really big time in football
again and we are let's get one guy out of 110 out for
spring ball who can kick the cover off the pigskin. Then
Nebraska can be the complete team.
Flag Football Resumes
Flag football tournament games, which were curtailed
by lack of field space, cold weather, and early darkness
last fall, have been resumed this spring where they left
off last December.

Oklahoma State Adds Depth
Cutchin Evaluates Squad
Oklahoma State's Phil
Cutchin has been trying to
build the much-improved
Cowboys in the tradition of
Bear Bryant's Alabama
squads.
The upswing of Oklahoma
State's football prestege in the
last couple seasons indicate he
is having at least some meas
ure of success.
Coach Cutchin was in a talk
ative mood just before the
Cowboy spring practice began,
and here is some of what he
had to say.
An evaluation
Cowboy squad:
of the 1965
"I think we'll have more
depth and this means more
competition for each individu
al position. Generally, this
means you will improve. I just
hope my thinking along these
lines is correct."
The major goals of spring
practice:
"We're going to try to find
our best 22 players and start
from there. We were among
the first teams to commit our
selves to the platoon system
in 1964 and we felt this helped
us quite a bit. Yes, there'll be
some position experiments.
There always is in spring
practice. We don't think we'll
change many players to dif
ferent positions but it's likely
we'll make a lot of switches
from the offensive to the de
fensive platoon, and vice ver
sa." Oklahoma State's major
problems:
"Just looking at the losses
we sustained will answer this.
It's obvious we have more de
fensive replacing to do than
we have on offense. As for in
juries, we feel the knee opera
tions on Doug Cathey (QB)
and Denny Krout (E) show
signs of being completely suc
cessful. As for Pete Francis
(G), well, it'll be a while be
fore we know anything defi
nite. The only letterman who'll
miss spring practice is Tony
DISCOUNT
THE STORE
Sellari (E). He's out for base
ball." OSU's chances in the Big
Eight next season:
"I don't want to guess on
how many games we'll win
next fall. We have five bowl
teams on our schedule, so,
we've got more work cut out
for us than we had a year
ago. As for the other teams in
our league, I've been told
some of them will be terrific
but I don't have enough first
hand information on other
people's problems to make a
guess at how they'll do."
Varsity standouts:
"We have high hopes for
Hugh McCrabb, Dennis Ran
dall and Rusty Martin from
our defensive line. J. B. Chris
tian and Harold Akin appear
to be among our better of
fensive linemen. I guess Walt
Garrison, Glenn Baxter and
David Dickerson are the best
of the offensive backs while
Larry Elliott and Jerry GDI
are among our better defen
sive backs. But, the best way
to see who is going to be best
is to wait until the season ends
to make your choice."
