GOAL

DUST . . .
By Jhn Swartz
The Nebraska-Missouri
game was billed as the t o p
college grid clash Saturday,
and the exciting hour of ac
tion certainly surpassed any
one's highest hope of top col
lege football.
Missouri played better
than Husker fans expected
them to; but when the
nation's top ground game
started moving, it was a 1 1
over for the Tigers but the ex
cuses. Missouri Coach Dan Devine
offered a crying towel full of
explanations. What he failed
to fully explain is that Ne
braska merely has a better
football team. Missouri con
vinced me tnat tney are
worthy of a bowl bid, and the
Huskers . . . they will just get
a better one.
As one of the awed specta
tors who greatly enjoyed the
Missouri students Homecom
ing version of a "Corny
County Fair" with its varity
of well done and attractive
displays, I was greatly d i s
mayed by the Missourians
barnyard sportsmanship.
Evidently, Tiger fans are not
far enough North to be toler
ant and not far enough South
to be gentlemen.
The "spirited" school spirit
seemed to be the only thing
that Devine didn't have an
excuse for, and it certainly
needed one. It is my feeling
that the conduct displayed by
Missouri fans will long bring
a bad taste to Nebraska fol
lowers. Missouri should stand as
an example of what school
spirit shouldn't be. It
shouldn't be bent on th e
senseless and wasteless de
struction of anything that rep
resents the opposition. It
shouldn't turn hosts into sav
ages. It shouldn't offer anybody
the excuse to steal, YES
STEAL!, red hats under the
pretense of souvenir hunting.
And most important of all. it
gives no one the right to low
er the dignity and respect of
his school.
The crowning achievement
of the maliciousness the Mis
souri fans showed was the
regretable Nebraska banner
incident. Three couples from
Nebraska carried the banner
around the stadium for all to
see.
Skip Abel reports. "We ex
pected they might boo, b u t
we never thought it would
get so far out of hand."
"We just kept on walking,"
Abel said, "and at first they
started throwing wadded up

major teams maintaining a
400-yard total-offense average
in the country.
Colorado continues to be the
second best in total offense
and total defense, with its of
fensive punch rated at 301 and
its defensive might at 224.3.
Both averages, and particular
ly the defensive mark, are
helped along considerably by
18 pass interceptions ( the Con
ference record is 28) by the
Hale Irwin and Charles Greer
led secondary.
Missouri, ranked second in
the nation last week in rushing
offense with a 250 average,
the added offensive support
from Brown, who leads the
rushers, with 612,' for the
fourth straight week. .
With 543 yards so far, Lane
is well behind the 895 marked
up by Colorado's Bernie Mc
Call, Mho has been steadily
pulling away for the last
three weeks. This -'ives Lane
a 27-game total of 2,755 yards.
To become only the eighth
Big Eighter to hit the 3,000-total-yards
mark, Lane will
have to average 82 yards a
game. His current per-game
mark is about eight yards
over this figure, standing at
the 90 level.
However, his chances of be
coming the seventh man to
make the 2.000-yard passing
club are less. His career total
now stands at 1.771. This
leaves him 229 away from the

bidding to become the third

passing bauble, leads this
week, as he has all year, with
734 yards.
Also apparently denied a
chance to repeat is Oklahoma

place-kicking leader last
year. Even though he has 20

the Keystone Cops, detracted
from a hard fought and thrill
ing game. The implications
to the outcome of such undi

and if this is school spirit,
you can keep it.
Razorbacks Climb In Polls;
Kennedy Big Eight Lineman
Nebraska remained third in
the AP and tied with Arkan
sas for second in the UPI in
college football polls this
week.
For the second consecutive
week Michigan State has
drawn the pollsters top spot.
An interesting sidelight in the
voting is Missouri, Saturday's
opponent, who jumped up to a
ninth place ranking in the AP
and slipped to tenth in the
UPI.
Mike Kennedy, Blackshirt
linebacker, was voted B i g
Eight Lineman of the Week.
Kennedy drew the honor for
his strong defensive work
against Missouri when he was
in on 13 tackles. Kennedy is
the fourth Husker this season
to draw one of the Big Eight's
weekly awards.
The Huskers finished strong
in Back of the Week running.
Harry Wilson. Fred Duda and
Frank Solich finished second,
third and fourth, respectively.

Go ahead. Be rebellious. Demand more "big"
in your big car. And get it at a price 'that
won't take a big bite out of your budget.
By Dodge, you've got it. Polara! More'
"big." More "hot." More of everything others
have not.
Ever see the likes of it? Neither has your
next door neighbor or the doorman at the
club or the parking attendant who can easily
pick Polara from a lot full of "me, too" cars.
Polara's different, all right. Looks, drives,
performs like the elegant piece of machinery
it is. Covered by a 5-year50,000-mile war
ranty. Complete with all these items that
used to cost extra: Outside mirror. Padded
dash. Variable-speed electric windshield
wipers and washers. Backup lights. Turn
signals. Seat belts, two front ajjjj two rear.
Insist on Polara at your Dodge Dealer's. A
beautiful new way to break old buying habits.
