GOAL
DUST...
By Jim Swartz
Everytime he catches a pass, it'll be a new record.
Freeman White is a 6'5" pass catching giant from
Detroit. His four receptions Saturday good for 139 yards
and two touchdowns, wrote him in the Husker record books
In a big way.
White passed the old mark set by Frank Simon in the
1949-50-51 seasons of 21 season receptions and a career to
tal of 40. White's 95 yard touchdown gallop also betters the
92 yard record that he had set last year.
Add to these Husker records a Big Eight record for
the longest touchdown run and White had a BIG afternoon.
White said his biggest worry in the 95 yard run was
getting caught and that he run so fast because he was
mostly scared.
When tcld that he had set several records White re
sponded with a quick and smiling, "Hey, that's all right!"
White explained that Nebraska sprinter Charlie Greene
had been watching him in the past games and suggested
to him a different way of running.
"Charlie told me to take shorter strides," Freeman
said, "so Saturday I would pick up my man and make
Iny fake and then just chop off five quick steps and sure
enough, I had my man beat."
White is an early regional choice by the AP for All
American honors. His reaction was "sure I would like
to be All American but there are a lot of good players."
Included in the early poll were Husker end Tony Jeter
and defensive stalwart Walt Barnes.
The press box was a busy place Saturday as the Hus
kers played under the watchful eyes of Orange and Sugar
Bowl officials while writers from Sports Illustrated and
Life were busy taking notes.
Speculation swept the state's scribes as someone ex
claimed during halftime that Nebraska already had five
bowl bids. Coach Bob Devaney quickly put down the rum
ors after the game by saying "there are definitely no bowl
bids."
"We are not even going to discuss any offers," De
vaney said. "We are not interested yet; there are too many
tough games ahead."
Note to Husker officials: defensive back Ted Vactor
said that if he had his choice, he would pick the Orange
Bowl.
"We've got to show up for the Missouri game," De
vaney said. "It's scheduled."
Devaney singled out the Tiger game as being "the
toughest so far."
"Missouri is a good sound team. They just don't make
mistakes," Devaney said.
Field general Fred Duda echoed the coach's comment
when he told the scribes that "Missouri will be the toughest
game. Colorado made mistakes, but Missouri doesn't make
mistakes."
Devaney explained Husker third quarter strategy as
an attempt not to get hurt and to play conservative, while
they were running into the 22 mile per hour wind.
"Colorado had good blocking and running backs," De
vaney said. "They are the hardest group of running backs,
with their quickness and speed, that we have faced this
year. I know they are going to be better next year."
ueiensive specialist Larry Wachholtz kicked his sec
ond and longest field goal of the season from 35 yards out.
Wachholtz said "I don't have enough gas; I guess I'm go
ing to have to start from their 20 to get a touchdown."
Wachholtz. the nation's leadine Dunt returner, nraisprl
the Blackshirts blocking, saying "no one touched me till
me last guy.
Sophomore Wayne Meylan turned -in. -his. first afternoon
with the Blackshirts, registering three"tacKle's find six as
sists. Meylan followed Jerry Patton, who had drawn his
second starting assignment, who led the defensive unit
with four tackles and seven assists.
Devaney had praise for Meylan, saying "Meylan did a
good job. He is quick and likes to play defense. His quick
ness and strength help him on defense."'
Nebraska Wains; Mizzou went
By Jim Pearsc
Playing before a crowd
that included the legendary
1940 Husker Rose Bowl
team, their Pep queen, this
year's Queen of Ak-Sar-Ben,
the 1965 Nebraska Homecom
ing Queen, and hundreds of
happy alumni, the Huskers
tuned up for Saturday's
showdown with Missouri by
rounding up the Colorado
Buffs early and coasting on
to a 38-13 victory.
The entrance of the Husker
cheerleaders on motorcycles
was the on y surprise move
made by Nebraska as they
piled up 31 points and well
over half their total offense
in the first half.
Coach Eddie Crowder
j summed it up, as all oppos
ing coaches have this season,
by saying, "They didn't do
ianything we hadn't ex
pected." i No, nothing unexpected.
I But, oh, how the Huskers do
i the expected.
Take the fourth and ten sit
uation early in the first peri
od on Colorado's 18 yard
j line. The expected, a field
goal attempt was called for.
'In came Larry Wachholtz.
i The ball was spotted 35 yards
away from the uprights as
Wachholtz stepped into it and
a 22 mile-per-hour wind. The
ball skipped blithely through
the breeze and the goal post
to give Nebraska their first
score of the day.
Or if you prefer more spec
tacular execution of the ex
pected, try this one. Nebras
ka's ball, third and eight on
their own five, the game is
still close (10-3) in the first
: period. The expected call, the
play that has most often got
ten you a first down with
third and long yardage; a
pass, probably to l reeman
White.
Quarterback Fred Duda
dropped back to the one and
I arched a pass that fell over
the shoulder and into t h e
hands of White who had beat
;en the Buff defense at the
thirty yard line, and stayed
ahead of them all the way to
a touchdown and Big Eight

Kansas Wins Behind Defense;
Oklahoma Rolls; Mizzou Strong
By Jim Pearse
While Nebraska was strik
ing early and often to capture
their sixth straight win, Kan
sas was upsetting Oklahoma
State, Oklahoma was batter
assignments and found the
results satisfying.
Missouri scored early on a
37 1 yard drive highlighted by
a 20-yard pass from Gary
Lane to Earl Denny for the
A glance at the statistics
does not exactly show that
Missouri blew the Cyclones
out of Clyde Williams Field.
Both teams had 17 first
downs. The Tigers total of
record for the longest scoring
pass completion.
And so it went, in the first
halt, as it has gone all year.
From punt returns to quar
terback options Nebraska ex
ecuted what it does best per
fectly. The second half was an ex
ercise in waiting. Spirit
wained in the Alums as shad
ows crept over the west side-
j line, and anticipation of the
Missouri conflict rose in the
Husker camp.
The livliest moments in the
drab last half came from sec
ond unit standout Charlie
"Choo-Choo" Winters. Churn
ing "Choo-Choo" bullbozed
for 24 yards in four carries,
and allowed Nebraska to
come out of the game as
rushing leader by 15 yards.
Until Winters gave the
Huskers the rushing lead
Colorado had been on top in
that department all after
noon. The first half the Buffs
netted 100 yards on the
ground to the Huskers 73.
The final totals show Nebras
ka with 149 yards overland to
Colorado's 134.
In total offense Colorado
picked up 259 yards. This is
not a bad days work, but
against Nebraska it was lost
under the Husker's 372 total
offensive yards that produced
38 points. One big reason for
Colorado's yardage not
working for, them is the fact
that their break away back,
Bill Harris, was held to 25
yards, and only three of those
in the second half.
Still another clue to Ne
braska's dominance comes in
looking at the punting game.
The Huskers kicked six
times, the Buffs eight. But
Nebraska returned three
punts for 111 yards while Col
orado had only one return
! good for only three yards.
But that was Colorado. At
tention now must be focused
on Missouri. The Tigers, tied
; with Nebraska and Oklahoma
for the conference lead,
bulled their way past Iowa
State, 23-7. Asked after the
game if he would use the
same tactics against Nebras
ka, Mizzou mentor Dan De
vine commented, "Ask me
next week after the game."
The arena is ready. Mis
suori meets Nebraska, prob
ably to decide the Big Eight
title, in Columbia Saturday.
Will these two (Devaney &
Devine) long time friends,
and top winning coaches in
the country, stick to their pat
tern of using the plays they
know and work to perfection?
Or have the dull, repititious,
unimaginitive performances
of both teams in recent
games been an indication
that cheerleaders on motor
cycles is only a mild fore
warning to some foreseen un
expectedness both coaches
are preparing to spring Saturday?

Young Huskers Impressive
By Jim Pearse
Nebraska's freshman foot
ball squad opened its 1965
campaign with an impressive
win at Kansas State on Fri
day afternoon, 34-14.
Coach John Melton's year
lings, unbeaten in their last
seven starts, began slowly,
but in the second half pulled
out of the Wild Kitten's range.
Kansas State scored first
and held a 14-7 first quarter
edge. However, In the second
!eriod quarterback Frank
'atrfck and fullback Dick
Davis took control to give Ne
braska a 21-14 halftime bulge.
In the final half, Dennis
Galbraith kicked a 38-yara
field goal and scored the
Husker rookie's final TD, as
NU outpointed K-State 17-0
over the final thirty minutes.
The Nebraska frosh rolled
UP 536 yards total offense.
They rolled up 379 yards on
the ground and 157 yards
through the airways.
Davis, from Omaha North,
carried the ball 19 times and
gained 116 yards to lead the
healthy Husker ground game.
Davis also scored three times
to lead the young Huskers In
that department. All his
touchdowns were on short
sprints.
Quarterback Patrick, all 6-7
210 pounds of him, cranked
up his long arm and un
loosed 15 passes. Eleven of the
15 were completed for the 157
yards.
Tom Penny was the m 0 s t
electrifying of the Huskers.
Penny took a pitchout from
Patrick and rambled 90 yards
for a NU third period touch
down. Earlier the former Kan
san rambled 85 yards with a
K-State kick-off to set up a
Davis TD.
The young Nebraskans
amassed 24 first downs to
K-States 10. The Wild Kittens
finished with only 19 yards
overland, but were Impressive
in the air.
K-State quarterback Nossek
hit on 12 of 28 tosses for 140
yards. He guided the young
Cats for the first score of the
game the second time they
had possession of the ball.
The freshman showing
demonstrated that Nebraska
football fortunes should be
bright in several areas dur
ing future varsity campaigns.
Patrick's passing is good
and his size helps him spot
his receivers, but the big
fellow from Derry, Pennsyl
vania likes to run, too. When
he gets those large steps glid
ing smoothly he is a bit hard
to bring down.
The hard running of full
back Davis should give NU
fans cause to cheer for con
tinued good running backs, as
has been the case over the
past few seasons.
And not to be considered
last is the kicking of Gal
braith. Larry Wachholtz is
now doing a fine job for the
Huskers in this department,
but with kicking becoming so
vital to victories in today's
world of football it is com
forting to know there is a
freshman who boots the ball
accurately from 38 yards.
Missouri was warming up for
Nebraska by bulldozing past
Iowa State.
The Kansas Jayhawks
broke into the winning column
for the first time this season
by using a stout defense to
halt the Oklahoma State Cow
boys. Kansas took the opening
kickoff 66 yards in 14 plays
to grab an early lead. Ok
came after Ry Thorpe of; than ISU's, 236-204. Missouri
Missouri recovered a Cyclone
fumble on the ISU 10 yard
line. Charlie Brown got the
tally on a one yard dash.
The final Tiger TD came in
the second quarter after a
Johnny Roland punt return
punted more times. Missouri's
pass defense was hit for 119
yards as ISU's Van Galder
connected on 11 of 27.

The brightest spot for the
Cowboys was ever rugged
fullback Walt Garrison. Gar
rison battered his way for 130
yards in 28 carries. Charles
Dukee of OSU just missed a
58 yard field goal attempt
late in the game when the
ball hit the crossbar and
bounced back onto the field.
