Wanted to Play . . .
Attitude Defeats Impossible
Less than three months
ago, Bobby Barker lay in a
Galveston hospital bed and
heard a cardioangiologist
say: "You can't play football
this season."
The TCU senior football
tackle from LaMarque lis
tened in disbelief. The opera
tion to cut out varicose veins
in his right leg was to have
been a minor one.
"It will be a year, maybe
longer, before you will be able
to run on that leg," added the
specialist, who had removed
six varicose venis instead of
three.
"I just couldn't believe it,"
recalls Barker. "Here I had
won astarting position in
spring training . . . had taken
a month off my summer job
. . . had spent $500 of my
own money for the operation.
Now he was telling me this."
Bobby made a decision then.
"I left it up to God to help me
heal my leg."
Two and one-half months
later. Barker returned to the
cardioangiologist for a check
up. "I knew what the doctor was
going to say. I knew my leg
had healed. 11c was simply
amazed, lie said it normally
took a year for an operation
like mine to mend, lie told
me I could play if I would
promise to wear my support
stockings and continue to take
care of my leg."
How did the miracle come
about?
"I worked out every day,"
related Barker. "I massaged
that leg for 60 minutes every
night. And I prayed. I proved
to that specialist that I could
get my leg well with a posi
tive attitude."
When he starts against Ne
braska, Saturday, it will mark
his first playing time as a
varsity man.
Bobby didn't make t h e
I grade as an end his junior
I season. Then after the two-a-day
grind last fall, he asked
j if he might assist the fresh
man team as a student coach.
Three days before the open
: ing of spring training, Barker
j approached Coach Abe Mar-
lin and asked for one more
j chance. It was granted.
The first day of practice, a
starting tackle failed to show
up. Martin yelled for Barker.
"I don't think Coach Mar
tin had me in mind as either
; a guard or tackle until this
unexpected opening occurred.
I made up my mind that no
one was going to beat me out
when I got in there."
I Barker, the ex-fullback, ex
; end turned tackle, realizes
there's little glory for a line
man. "I'll never make a touch
down. But I can help someone
else make one," he smiles.
"That's satisfaction enough."

I In the Big 8 1
By Jim Pearse
Two of the Big Eight's im
proved squads try their new
wings against Big Ten teams
lin this Saturday's opening
I games.
I Traveling into Big Ten ter
ritory are Colorado and Kan-
sas State. The Buffs, who have
met Big Ten opposition only
three times, travel to Badger
country to try and trap Wis
consin; while Kansas State
gets its 1965 baptism against
Indiana in the Hoosiers back
yard at Bloomington.
The Colorado-Wisconsin con
test should be one of evenly
matched teams. Both squads
were down last season, and
have loaded up on defense to
try and regain lost prowess.
Since this will be opening day,
experimentation can be ex
pected. Wisconsin is hoping
for a strong aerial attack and
may throw a lot Saturday.
The Buffs will be turning
on their "Switching T," and
the result could be a free
wheeling battle with the de
fense keeping erratic offen
sive thrusts in check.
A regional TV audience will
be looking in on Coach Doug
Weaver's 43-man squad in
their tilt against Indiana. This
marks the second straight
year K-State has opened on
TV against a Big Ten foe,
losing to Wisconsin last sea
son. It will be a battle of young,
optimistic teams. Mistakes
and plenty of eagerness can be
expected.

Injuries
Huskcr gridders wound up
fall camp in good physical
condition. Only defensive end
Mike Grace, offensive end
Dennis Richnafsky and defen
sive half-back Ted Vactor
were sidelined or hampered
by serious injury.
Captains
The Cornhusker football
squad has elected two of its
smaller members to co-captain
the largest team in the
school's history.
Fullback Frank Solich. a
5-8, 158-pounder, is the offen
sive platoon captain while
Mike Kennedy, a 219-pound.
5-9 linebacker, is the defensive
unit captain.
passing star and the Big 8
"Sophomore of the Year."
In drills this fall Churchich
has had to withstand a bril
liant comeback effort by Duda
and a fine effort" by Wayne
Weber, a returning squad
member.
"Churchich and Duda have
more experience," noted Cor
gan, explaining their edge
over Weber. "But taking just
fall camp into consideration,
Wayne certainly 1 o o k e d as
good or better than the vet
erans." Corgan also indicated that
the Huskcrs have additional
quarterback depth in case any
of the veterans falter along
the way.
"I'll say this for Ernie Sig
ler sophomore quarterback
from Dallas, Tex., he's as far
along right now as Fred Duda
and Bob Churchich were
when they were thrown into
the fire and we feel he is a
fine prospect. Al Fierro, also
a soph, has progressed very
well this fall.
"He's quicker and is show
ing more poise than he did
last s p r i n g," Corgan con
tinued, "all he needs is more
seasoning."
In summary the backfield
coach said, "At this point
we are pleased w ith our quar
terback situation and feel it
should be one of our strongest
backfield positions".
