The Daily Nebroskon Wednesday, March 2, 1965 Poge 6 V. Claridge By Bob Flasnick Sports Assistant Nebraska's all-league quar terback of '62 and '63, Dennis Claridge, is probably as hap py as anyone could be con sidering he has just recently been "traded" from the world champion Green Bay Packers to the newly formed Atlanta Falcons of Atlanta Georgia. Claridge was one of 11 Packers who was "put on the block" and made available as draft material for the newest National Football League team. "I knew I'd be made avail able," said Claridge, "As far as I'm concerned I'd just as soon switch. I'd rather play and work hard at it, than sit the bench for the world champions." The Robinsdale, Minnesota native is currently in dental school at the University of Nebraska. He hopes to prac tice dentistry in or around Lincoln once he is through playing pro football. "I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to find out if I can make it with the pros," said Claridge. "If I don't make it this year I'll quit and go into dentistry full time." Claridge thinks much of his competition for the Atlanta quarterbacking job will come in the form of Alabama's sure-passing Steve Sloan, who Cornhusker fans would just as soon forget. Sloan was picked up by the Falcons as a free agent after his show ing against Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. As a college star at Nebras ka, Claridge was a triple threat in every sense of the word with the ability to run interference thrown in.

The basic principle is to get the ball from the center, drop back and throw within 3.5 seconds. The quarterback doesn't have to worry about the running game, it depends mostly on the linemen."

Ham -(outniiiuwaNEMAscoPE Pearse, sports editor Atlanta his stint at Nebraska, says the Devaney system pre pared him well for his en counter with professional ball. Says Claridge, "We played a real good caliber of football at Nebraska. I think I knew the fundamentals quite well." Claridge described his two years at Green Bay as "just like going to school. I played behind two fine gentlemen in Bart Starr and Zeke Bratkow ski," said Claridge. "They've been around the league for a long time and they answered all the questions I asked them." Considering the potential of the new team Claridge says, "I don't think we'll be as weak as a lot of people think. If we could win a few games everybody will be happy." Dennis and his wife Rhoda and their ten-month-old son David are now living at 722 South 48th in Lincoln while Dennis is in dental school. Claridge admits he and his wife will like living in Atlan ta, Georgia much better than in wintry Green Bay. But he says they will live in Atlanta only for the six month dura tion of the football season. "As soon as the season ends, we'll head back to Lincoln," said Claridge. Huskers Attack; By James Pcarrse With 8,333 Nebraska fans looking on from every avail able seat and corner of the Coliseum the Huskers grabbed an early 2-0 lead on Nate Branch's jumper with 19:27 to go in first half, and never were headed, going on to top Kansas State 79-69. The win enables Nebraska to remain in a two way tie for first place with Kansas in the Big Eight basketball chase. Both club, now own identical 11-1 records. The story last night Ne braska smoothed out some spots that have been giving them trouble of late, and played the kind of ball they are capable of. The press, led by Willie Campbell, continually brought the Wildcats to a halt just when it looked like they had scratched their way back to challenge for the lead. The number of KSU turnovers (23) attests for this fact. In the early going, when it looked like the Cats outside shooting might hurt the H u k s e r s, the press wa s clamped on. Within four min utes Nebraska moved from a one point margin ( 11-10) to an eight point bulge (19-11). During that stretch from the 14:00 minute mark, to the 10:00 minute mark, Nebraska picked the ball up on the press once and held KSU foom making the in-bounds pass once, to gain possession of the ball in their fore court. Nebraska also switched suc cessfully from a fast break to an open offense during that same time period and scored from the slower game. Kansas State's big boys, Nick Pino, Earl Seyfert, and Roy Smith were stifled, and of the evening by the hustling play of Campbell, Stuart Lantz, and Coley Webb around the basket. The three big men, all over 6'7" with Pino scraping the ceiling at 7'1", accounted for only 25 of the 68 points KSU totaled. Pino and Seyfert are both averag ing right at 12 points a ball game.

Baack, who has had sev eral lean nights lately, shook off a slow first half to blitz the Wildcats in the opening moments of the second period. With Nebraska leading by seven (40-33) and KSU com ing on fast again, Baack took charge. At 18:30 he hit the first of four long, looping one handers that brought the wild throng to their feet and ex tended the Husker advantage to 50-39 with 16:08 left in the contest. Stuart Lantz was second in Husker scoring with 18, and may have had more if it weren't for foul trouble early in the second half. Lantz, along with Baack and Campbell, had four fouls with 9:00 minutes remaining. Volleyball DOUBLE ELIMINATION: Double-Elimination Tour nament for all Teams.

Webb and Fred Hare, as well as Jim Damm and Ron Simmons came off the bench with fine performances in re lief to protect the Husker lead. The Husker's fast break, led by Grant Simmons, clicked last night to aid the press. Captain Simmons came home with 15 points, most of them from within a few feet of the basket. Another thing Nebraska has not been doing recently is get ting off enough shots. Last night the Huskers fired 66 times, hitting on 32 occas ions for an excellent 48. The crowd, one of the loud est this season ("I've never seen them this way up here before," commented a KSU observer) was lead into the Coliseum by the band and the cheerleaders. Their enthu siasm built with the tempo of the game, reaching a climax when Lantz, giving away ten inches, out jumped Pino for a lose ball with only a few min utes to go, and the noisy res ponse rocked Memorial Tower. With this win put away, thoughts turn to Colorado. The Big Red hasn't won in Bould er in some twenty odd sea sons. It will be a rough game, as all tussles with the Buffs are, but the Huskers are running smoothly again and with the support of the home fans, the presence of Big Red will be felt in Boulder Satur day.

Tank Team Leaves For Conference Meet By Bob Flasnick The Nebraska swimming team left Tuesday for the Big Eight championships in Nor man, Oklahoma determined to finish within the top three teams. "The boys are convinced they can end up better than fourth," said Husker Coach Dick Klass. "In a confer ence meet anything can hap pen." Nebraska, with six wins and eight losses for the season, took 14 swimmers to the meet which starts Thursday. Klass said he didn't expect anyone to get within 15 points of Oklahoma, the defending champion. He said Iowa State has a stronger team than he bad anticipated and could be paired with Kansas as Okla homa's strongest competi tion. Klass described his own team as "a darkhorse for third." Klass anticipated th t around six of his swimmers will turn in their best per formances of the season, and taking this into consideration said that his team couia "possibly pick up points we can't forsee." Mike Jackson is Nebraska's single defending Big Eight champion. Jackson took first in the 200-yard breastroke last year, but his condition has suf fered this year from a late season illness.
