GOAL
DUST . . .
By Jim Swartz
The honor list continues for Husker gridders, as the
pride of Nebraska has brought home the third straight Big
Eight title (the first one they have been picked to win), the
national rushing title and an Orange Bowl appearance New
Year's night.
Walt Barnes appears to be everyone's All-America
choice, as he has been named to nearly every one of the
n thical teams. Tony Jeter and Freeman White have also
been All-America choices. White on the Look team and Je
ter in the Coaches picks.
This vear's team did prove themselves to be better
than any team of the past, playing their way to ten straight
vicories, three of them in the come-from-behind category.
And to think that they started the season off with a
two-game losing streak.
This year's team played a most exciting and convinc
ing style of football. If their ten victories weren't enough,
they took time out to rewrite the Husker record book, with
All-America Freeman White doing most of the pen work.
Certainly one of the most impressive features of this
year's varsity was the offensive backfield, coached by Mike
Corgan.
Last year Frank Solich rushed for 444 yards to take
top rushing honors. This year Solich pushed his total to
580 yards, an improvement of 136 yards, to place second
in the rushing totals behind Harry Wilson, who finished the
season with 672 yards on 120 carries for a fine 5.6 average.
Solich's total from last year was also surpassed by Ron
Kirkland, who came in third with 522 yards behind a 6.6 av
eragethe best of any Husker back. Kirkland carried the
ball 79 times and was only stopped for three minus yards.
Charlie "Choo-Choo" Winters and Pete Tatman were
the only regular backs to better Kirkland's knack of getting
out of the backfield. Tatman picked up only a minus two
yards rushing on 50 carries while Choo-Choo registered a
blank, lugging the ball 57 times for 249 yards. Winters also
led the backs on scoring, totaling seven touchdowns for a
42 point total, not bad for a back that started the season
on the third-string.
Orange Bowl Top Game
In considering this year's post season games, or more
fondly referred to as a "Bowl Appearance," the Orange
Bowl stands out as THE nation's top attraction.
The Orange Bowl classic is the only major bowl game
in which two comparable teams are matched. The Hus
kers, with a perfect season, are rated third in both the
wires services final polls and Alabama has climbed to a
fourth place ranking, after shaking off an early season tie
and loss.
In other major bowl matchings, Michigan State, the
nation's number one ranked team, will meet fifth ranked
U.C.L.A. in the Rose Bowl.
The second-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks meet UPI's
fourteenth ranked Louisiana State in the Cotton Bowl. In
the Sugar Bowl sixth-ranked Missouri is matched with Flor
ida, who finished the season in a twelvth place tie in the
UPI's voting.
The ruling that classes will begin Jan. 3 is probably
going to be the most talked about subject on campus this
month.
It seems a bit ironic, (or is the word two-faced), that
the same people that had classes held an extra day in an
attempt to insure a full stadium for the national televised
Thanksgiving Day game haven't enacted upon this goodie,
which appears to be more a matter for the safety of the
student rather than the interest of the University.
The safety of the student, which certainly should be in
the interest of this institution, appears to have been com
pletely overlooked by the administrators.
The many planned vacation trips started for fun and
enjoyment to the bowl game could easily end in senseless
tragedy and wholesale highway slaughter if the classes start
on schedule.
The possibility of even one highway accident should be
enough to prompt any responsible administrator to lengthen
the vacation.
Simmons Guides Win
Huskers Dominate Buffs' Team
Nebraska roundballers bad
gered the University of Wis
consin, 101-88. in their season
opener last night at Madison.
The Husker's scoring total of
101 points breaks the all-time
scoring record of 96 points set
last year against Purdue.
Husker Coach Joe Cipria
no's five starters all broke
into the scoring column with
double figures in a well bal
anced team effort. Senior
Guard Grant Simmons, 6-3Vi.
was high-point man for the
Scarlet with 29 points.
Early Wisconsin errors
gave Nebraska an advantage
in the opening minutes of
play. After trailing the Hus
k e r s , 15-10, the Badgers
found the range on their home
court, taking a 20-17 ad
vantage. Simmons sparked
the Scarlet attack when he
swished a setter from 20 feet
out. The Huskers battled
their way through a full
court press put on by the
Badgers to a 30-28 lead.
From then on it was a
touch and go effort, as the
two teams deadlocked the
score eight more times be
fore the half closed. A final
tally by Nate Branch put the
Huskers in a tight lead at
halftime, 50-49.
The second half moved
considerably faster, as each
team traded leads for over
five minutes of play. Midway
through the half, the Huskers
began moving steadily away
and were never seriously
threatened again by Wisconsin.
Other scorers were Tom
Baack, with 18; Willie Camp
bell, 14; Branch, 15; Fred
Hare, 4 and Jim Damm, 3.
Seniors Honored
Frank Solich and Walt
Barnes were honored as Ne
braska's outstanding senior
back and lineman last night
by the Lincoln Optimist Club
Boulder, Colo. The Big
Eight's bowl-bound one-t w o
teams, Nebraska and Mis
souri, dominate Colorado's all
opponent team as much as
they did the rest of the Big
Eight during the regular sea
son. The Huskers placed nine
men among the all-opponent
selections with the Tigers fol
lowing with seven.
Among those receving the
greatest number of votes were
Huskers Freeman White and
Harry W i 1 1 o n. Oklahoma
State fullback Walt Garrison
was edged out for first place
by one vote by Missouri's
Carl Resse, no other fullbacks
were mentioned.
On offense Nebraska had
the All-America combination
of Freeman White and Tony
Jeter on the ends, LaVerne
Allers at guard and Harry
Wilson in the backfield.
On defense the Huskers
placed Langston Coleman,
Dick Czap, Walt Barnes,
Wayne Meylan and Mike Kennedy.

Sooners Strength In Sophs
First of a series
By Dick Holman
After an 8-17 season record
in 1965, the outlook for the
Grapplers Open
Season Friday
The varsity wrestling team
opens the 1965-66 season Fri
day, with a 7:30 p.m. dual at
Omaha University.
Coacih Orval Borgialli noted
squad progress, saying "With
a few exceptions we have had
good practices and the boys
have been progressing."
Coach Borgialli has listed
probable starters as 115 Ron
nie Thon; 123 Ralph Garcia;
130 Tome Cone: 137 Rick
Allgood; Rich Miller, 145;
Duane Dobson, 152; Al Hutch

John Hallgren, 167; Leif
Thompson, 177; Ben Barends,
191 and Carel Stitch, Heavyweight.
Oklahoma Sooners is im
proved. A solid sophomore
crop will be woven in with
eight returning lettermen
from the 1965 team which fin
ished last in the Big Eight
conference.
Sooner Coach Bob Stevens
said, "We should definitely be
improved in height, weight
and shooting ability. I 1 o o k
forward to all-around im
provement through better,
team organization and great
er squad unity, both offen
sively and defensively.
The Sooners will miss the
services of All-Big Eight for
ward James Gatewood, who
climbed to the number four
spot on the all-time Oklahoma
scoring chart with his 14.5
average last year.
With a solid scoring game
installed, the Sooners are ex
pected to devote more ener
gy to defending this season.
Stevens lost his four top re
bounders from a team that
finished second-best in t h e
Big Eight in that department.
Additional height from sopho
mores, 6-8 Don Sidle and 6-7
Rick Kersey should provide
the sooners with more re
bounding power underneath.
"Since our offense has
functioned well, it is impera
tive that we tighten our de
fense with pressing and com
bmation defenses. Also, we
plan to use alternating de
fenses," Stevens said. "We
should be a tougher rebound
ing club than a year ago with
more height and weight. Last
season our tallest player was
6-6 and this year we will have
five boys, 6-6 or taller," he
added.
Four players return who
started full or part-time a
year ago. They are forward
