A
Awakening:
By Mick Rood
Irate Arkansas fans, party lovers and "patriotic" Ne
braska fans are screaming together this week. Weird
combination and not much to scream about.
The clamor and the crying for the ideal match be
tween Nebraska and Arkansas is more Hogwash than horse
sense. For at the base of the nauseous arguments is the
contention that Nebraska is chicken . . . that Devaney
doesn't want to lose another bowl same . . . that the Husker
contingent wants to have "fun on the beach."
I guess the ratio between team ranking and fan in
sanity is a direct one.
Although it seems evident that team and followers wU
go to the Orange Bowl, it is hoped not everyone is auto
matically second-guessing our bowl selection. And what if
this decision is made to make for Miami?
Arkansas Matchmakers
Consider the types of Arkansas matchmakers:
Although the phone call to the Rag from Fayetteville
was probably a hoax, I know several Hog alums in Lincoln
that genuinely want Nebraska to come down and wallow
in their pig sty. But why listen to them, they are Arkansas
fans.
Then there are the party lovers. These people feel
the team (really meaning themselves )will have a better
time in Miami. More Hogwash. I can assure you the team
will be entertained adequately, within training rules, no
matter where they go. I can also assure you that Nebraska
fans will entertain themselves adequately no matter where
they go. Anyway, it is hoped the significance of the bowl
trip is still the football game.
Next, "patriotic" Nebraska fans. There appears to
be a mass assumption that the team and coaches should
do their backers bidding at every turn. Sure, the team
owes supporters something, but I think the team has
more than fulfilled any obligation to the fans. This is their
choice.
Finally, there is our expected opponent. There has been
little to indicate this season that Hogs could push back
the Tide if they played. Alabama probably should be rated
higher than they are. Their Georgia loss takes no luster
off the late-season strength they show now. Georgia's vic
tory was similar to the Falcon win over the Huskers a few
years ago. Never should have happened.
The Razorbacks have been extremely fortunate this
vear. They were very weak early this year (28-14 over
Oklahoma State), and excepting the Texas game, have
placed easy opponents. They still have a consistent Texas
Tech crew to contend with.
Hogs Susceptible
In that Texas game Arkansas showed itself susceptible
to the type of grounding offense Nebraska has used for
75 of their touchdowns this year. The Huskers would
have a psychological advantage.
Alabama, however, is a different story. The Crimson
Tide looks better every contest . . . very similar to last
year's team. And nobody forgets the Orange Bowl last
New Year's Day. They too, are a "real football team."
The ratings, even at the end of a season, certainly
don't indicate the winner. There are some teams in the
second ten that could give Nebraska a tougher time than
the top five teams could.
I think we could beat Arkansas by ten points . . .
Alabama I'm not so sure about.
Oklahoma State has always been tough, but the Cow
boys will give Devaney a fine setting to announce any
bowl preference. I see it, NEBRASKA 21, OKLAHOMA
STATE 0.

Big Eight teams are boast

Missouri seems to be the

and are keeping their eyes on
a national rating and a bowl
bid. The Tigers will host the
Oklahoma Sooners at the "Pit"
and should find it fairly easy
going, MISSOURI 21 Okla

they are pushing for tne possi

Buffs have surpassed any pre

young team is pushing for
more recognition.
Kansas is having its own

week. Sim Stokes quit the

COLORADO 14 Kansas 0.
"Which bowl?" continues to
be the top topic, as the1 Husk
ers head South to Stillwater.
Husker Coach Bob Devaney
has neither affirmed or de
nied reports and rumors that
Nebraska will play in the
Orange Bowl.
An announcement was made
that the bowl choice will be
made public, after the Okla
homa State game. If the
Huskers choose the Orange
Bowl, the likely opponent ap
pears to be sixth-ranked Ala
bama. Students interviewed at
random on campus generally
feel that the Huskers are
headed for Miami and the
Orange Bowl.
Dick Herrboldt said, "I
think we'll go to the Orange
Bowl. It's a little more glam
orous than the Sugar or Cot
ton Bowls. A bowl game
should be a reward for a sea
son well-played, and lean
think of no better place to go
than Miami.
"I think we'll go to Miami."
Shirlev Voss said. "They (Ne
braska) went to the Cotton
Bowl last year and it's a
change for the guys who are
new on the team. Also a lot
of people complained that
there wasn't enough to do in
Dallas."
Myra Rotherham conject
ured, "I think they'll go to
the Cotton Bowl again, espec
ially if Arkansas goes. I'd
like to see them go there and
beat Arkansas."
"I think it's the Orange
Bowl," John Wertz mived.
"Last vear it was the Cotton
Bowl, and if the Big Ten didn't
have such a big Dim in tne
Rose Bowl, I think we'd be
there."
"It's rather obvious," stat
ed Keith Van Velkinburg.
"They'll go to Miami. How
ever, by going there, they'll
throw away any chance for
a national rating. The play
ers in the past have had a
better time in Miami in their
off-practice hours, more so
than the Cotton Bowl would
offer."
James Klimes thinks, "The
students would rather go to
New Orleans, because we
haven't been there yet: and the
people didn't like Dallas. But
I think we'll go to Maimi. It
would be good to play Ar
kansas just to prove we're
better than they are."
Don Graham said, "Since
the national polls don't seem
to be proving much anyway,
I think Nebraska will go to
the Orange Bowl and make
a vacation out of it. Even if
they would go to Dallas, they
might not be playing Arkan
sas." "I heard a rumor in speech
class," confided Joyce Vales,
"that we're going to the Or
ange Bowl. Besides I'd like
to go there just to soak up
the Florida weather."
The Cornhuskers will be out
to make it nine in a row to
morrow, as they journey to
Stillwater for a match with
the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
The Husker lineup remains
about the same, although line
backer Mike Kennedy has
been tabbed as a doubtful for
the 40-man traveling squad.
Kennedy was in student
health until Wednesday and
Lynn Senkbeil was being
groomed at his linebacking
spot, along with Barry Al
varez. Defensively the squad ap
pears to be intact with Jerry
Murphy and Wayne Meylan
tabbed to share the duties at
the middle guard spot.
The Cowboys were taDDea
for an upper division finish
but have faltered because of
injuries. The Cowboy attack
will be directed by Glenn Bax
ter and fullback Walt Garri
son is the strength of the
Cowboy rushing attack.
Reports from the Cowboy
camp indicate that the squad
is reporting in excellent physi
cal shape, following their two
week rest.
Husker coach Bob Devaney
said, "Oklahoma State has al
ways given us fits, and I am
serious when I say we are
worried about playing them at
Stillwater. Two years ago we
barely got out 20-16 and last
year Walt Garrison ran wild.
Oklahoma State has some
fine players and we must be
prepared to play well or be in
trouble."
Freshman Coach John Mel
ton's yearlings will close out
their "schedule with a 2:30
bout with Iowa State at Me
morial Stadium.
The frosh bounced back
from a 14-6 defeat by Missouri
to stop Kansas last week 28-3.
Iowa State has defeated Mis
souri 14-7 but managed only a
14-14 tie with Kansas State.
Nebraska mauled the young
Wildcats 38-14.
The squads are the same ex
cept for two defensive
changes. Russ Stigge has been
tabbed to start at guard and
Lawrence Korpisch has taken
over the left tackle duties.

The textbook is o unique animal In the world of
books.
It is mony things to many people.
It comes off the presses a robust and happy infant,
adored by its author and praised to the skies by its
publisher.
It was conceived of Scholarship and Patience and
nurtured by Effort. However, its future is brief ond full
of ups and downs.
As an infant, its worth its weight in diamonds, but
the day comes quick when the publisher won't give a
dime for his own offspring!
Spanking new, this infant's price outrages students
who buy it over the counter.
The new baby matures fast in a world of hard knocks.
By turns, it is used and misused. It is handled ond mis
handled. It is talked about, talked over, talked up ond
talked down.
By lurns, it is a friend ond a foe. It is token 1o din
ner ond kept up all night. It gets picked up, potted and
praised. It gets discussed, cussed ond kicked across the
room.
It gets dog eared and dog-tired. It gets rained on
and sat on. It is thumbed through and flopped over.
It knows many owners. It is bickered over, bargained
for, derided and disowned.
And its short unhappy end come when the profession
al book buyer announces a new baby brother back in Chi
cago with a birth mark that reads "New Edition."
What we can pa for your books is determined by
the demand for that title, by our overhead, by personnel
expenses and salaries and by the condition of the book.
