S Says Huskers Besf
By Jim Peerse
The September 20, 1965, is
sue of Sports Illustrated hit
the newstands yesterday, and
at one stand they were gone
about that fast. The particular
stand was in the Nebraska
Union, and the reason for the
rapid disappearnace of this
week's issue was its predic
tion of Nebraska as this fall's
mythical national champion.
The Best
SI sees the Huskers as the
team that will break out of a
pack of top collegiate teams to
be the "best of all in 1965."
Noting that "most people will
live and die with the home
team, but they also willwatch
the ones at the top,!i .SI. pre
dicts "None will be more vis
ible than Nebraska."
Rest of the Best
Battling Coach Bob Devan
ey's team for the No. 1 spot
will be Darrell Royal and his
"stockpile of recruits" at Tex
as; Frank Broyles and Bear
Bryant with their solid group
ing of talent from the re
spective home states of Ar
kansas and Alabama. John
McKay should have little trou
ble finding talent in sunny
southern California to man his
USC Trojans, and at Notre
Dame Ara Parsighian has
made one thing clear, his
team is from Notre Dame.
To make Nebraska, and fu
ture champions, even more
visible, SI proposes a nation
al playoff involving the major
conference winners and the
top independent team from
each section of the country.
Dividing the country into
East and West the playoff
would begin on December 11
in the various sections of the
country. Survivors would ad
vance to the next week's play
until ' only two teams re
mained. A national champion
ship contest then would be
played on January 1 and no
body could argue about who
was No. 1. Least of all SI.
But for this season it will
remain for wire polls, football
writers, and various and sun
dry foundations to each select
a "national" champion. In
most cases it should be the
Huskers. j
Football Weather
At Nebraska the tempera
ture dropped, the skies be
came overcast, and a light
drizzle began to fall (as if it
were football time in Nebras

to class Thursday admiring

Many of these students plus
around 40,000 other Huskers
followers will fill Memorial
Stadium Saturday in a brilli
ant display of red that has
become the trade mark
wherever the Scarlet and
Cream travel.
These 50.000 may know little
about the multiplicity of of
fensive and defensive align
ments in today's world of col
legiate footbail, and they may
not know about all the rule
changes. But they will notice
freer substitution and no de
laying to put a punting team
in the game.
These things will speed up
the game catching all in the

was in 1951 when the Texan
Purple invaded Memorial,
Stadium as one-TD underdog
and scored three touchdowns1
in less than nine minutes and:
ended up taking game honors!
28-7.
Tomorrow's game should
hold several interesting high
lights, to the sell-out Stadium
crowd. The Scarlet offense
should sparkle with '64 back
field stand-outs; Bob Church
ich, quarterback; Frank So
lich. fullback; and Harry Wil
son, halfback; scheduled to
start.
The game will also mark
the '65 debut of the famous
"Black-Shirts" who ranked
number two nationally in de
fensive statistics last year
and whose main job should be
the stopping of Sonny Camp
bell, the TCU left-end who
ranked number two in the
SWC pass catching depart
ment. The defensive unit will be
without the services of M i k e
Grace. Grace is sitting out
the game with an injured
knee. The left-end position
will be manned by Bill Haug.
Two sophomores will be
making their starting line-up
debuts. Right-guard Wayne
Meyland will run with the of
fensive team and Man- Muell
er, in the defensive secondary.
Mueller replaces Ted Vac-,
tor, who has been hampered
by an injury. I

The TCU Horned Frogs in-j
vade Cornhusker country to-
morrow. The Southwest Con-1
ference representative will1
bring a young squad, com
posed of eight seniors, 16 jun-!
iors and 35 sophomores.
In reports received from
TCU publicity director, Jin)
Brock, TCU is tagged for a;
lower division conference fin- j
ish again this year, due to j
an over-balance of sopho-j
mores in the line-up. j
In Fall drills Othol (Abe)
Martin, beginning his 13th
canroaien as the Purple head
coach, welcomed 19 lettermen j
from the 1964 team that won
four of ten games and fin
ished sixth in the Southwest
Conference race.
Martin, known for his op
timism, sees the Frogs as an
improved eleven for the 1965
season. Chief problems arei
the lack of speed, and exper- ,
ienced personnel in several
key positions. Strong point is i
the overall defense, especial-j
ly the secondary where the;
three 1961 regulars return, j
'We have a lot of enthusi-l
asm and willingness to learn,
and this is important to any!
football team." reminds Mar-j
tin. '"The mental attitude is i
always a big thing a b o y j
who has the right mental out-1
look will take care of himself ;
physically." j
Martin and staff point to a;
fine crop of youngsters, and;
23 of the young men are!
among the top 45 counted on j
for fall duty. J
"This voung crowd hasi
something." he continued. "I
believe several have the po
tential to be stars. However,
for us to have a better team,
I feel manv of our seniors and
juniors will have to play bet-1
ter than they are capable.".
It's been six years since'
success hit the Purple cam-j
pus. The Frogs tied Arkan-j
sas and Texas for the 1959,
flag, after waltzing to t h
crown in 1958.
Only three returning letter
men were offensive starters
in 1964 T-End Sonny Camp
bell, T-Guard Russell Stout,
and Power End Joe Ball. On
defense, five are back Tackle
Ronnie Xixon. End Doyle
Johnson, and a secondary
composed of Dan Jones. John
Richards, and FTank Horak.
TCU wil lrun from the DU
AL offense, installed for the
first time in 1964. The forma
tion, similar to the one at
Texas, will feature T plays
to one side, with power to
the opposite side. There also
will be flankers, split ends,
and the line will flip-flop on
most occasions.
Campbell, who was No. 2
pass receiver In the League
as a sophomore in 1964, could
be outstanding, lie already is
one of the fine ends in TCU
annals. Also Horak could be
the best safetv in the SWC
this fall.
