With the summer gradual
ly comming to an end so is
the construction of the 12,000
new seats being added to the
north end of the stadium com
ing to an end, according to
Bill Dittmer, assistant con
struction engineer of the uni
versity. Dittmer said that approxi
mately 80 of the project has
been completed. He said that,
"as soon as we get rid of the
scaffolding, it won't take
long."
Corner Sections
Those areas under construc
tion include two corner sec
tions between the original
section that was built last
year and the east and west
sides of the stadium. Also the
ramps must be completed.
When the two corners are
competed the field will be
completely enclosed to give
the stadium a bow shape.
There are several problems
which must be worked out by
the first game, September 17,
when Nebraska meets Texas
Christian University. One of
these is whether the construc
tion will be completed on

The University of Nebraska
is getting world-wide publicity
this summer thanks to four
members of the Husker coach
ing staff.
Head football coach Bob De
vaney (plus one of his aides
Jim Ross), head basketball
coach Joe Cipriano, and head
track coach Frank Sevigne
are all completing summer
coaching assignments
throught the world.
European Clinic
Devaney and Ross will com
plete a month's stay in Eu
rope sometime next week.

football clinic for the Armed!
Forces stationed in Europe.
The two Nebraska grid
coaches have traveled to most
of the overseas U.S. Army
posts in England, France and
Germany. Their purpose has
been to strengthen the army
football programs and to aid
the various physical education
programs.
Basketball Clinics
Cipriano will return this
week from the West Coast
where he and his family have
combined a business with
pleasure trip. Cipriano has at
tended various basketball
clinics, including one conduct
ed by Bob Houbrigs, a former
Husker himself, in the state
of Washington.
He has also attended a num
ber of West Coast all-star
games and is continuing his
recruiting on the coast. His
wife and three children also
made the trip, thus making
a family vacation.
track In Jamaica
Sevigne is in Kingston, Ja
maica, acting as consulting
coach for the Jamaican track
team. A number of Nebraska
track stars are running for
the Jamaican team including
Lynn Headley and Ray Har
vey, both of the West Indies.
Clifton Forbes, a star sprint
er for the Husker freshmen
team this year, and Victor
Brooks, a former Nebraska
and Big Eight champion, are
also members of the team.
Orlando Martinez, a Nebras
ka track star and member of
the cross-country team, is run
ning for Puerto Rico.

time. Dittmer said that, "in
all probability it will be done,
barring bad weather."
A second problem whidh
must be solved is what to do
with the apparent blind spots
(the part of the stadium where
the new section meets the old
field is not visible because of
the end walls of the old sides).
Dittmer explained that the
reason for these blind spots
is because the north end is 20
feet from the goal posts,
which places it further back
from the main stadium. The
south end is apparently only
10 feet from the goal posts,
which allows the higher rows
to fit closer to the end walls
of the old stadium.
Price Negotiations
Dittmer said that, the Uni
versity is presently negotiat
ing the price for the removal
of the end walls. The Olson
Construction Co. has the gen
eral contract for the stadium.
George R. Miller, physical
plant administrator, said

but that, "the end walls will
be adjusted."
Another problem which
stems from the blind spots
and the completion date is
the number of seats that will
be available.
Jim Pittenger, athletic tick
et manager, said that since
the northeast corner section
will be completed first, "I
can take care of the students
first. The overflow number
of students will be placed in
the new section.
Increase By 1970 .
Pittenger said that though
12,000 seats sound like a lot
by 1970 the Universtiy will
most likely have over 20,000
students, by this time seats
will again be scarce. He said
that in order to assure s t u
dents of a seat "we're going
to limit the number of public
season tickets." He said that,
"one half of those who re
quest season tickets will get
them.'
The stadium, when con
struction is completed, will
have an approximate maxi
mum capacity of 63,444. The
individual section capacity
can be broken down into these
figures :
East Stadium 15,681
West Stadium '...15,236

The Nebraska Cornhuskers
face their 77th football season
as the team to beat in the
Big Eight Conference.
Lead by coach Bob Devan
ov the Hnskers have won the
Big Eight championship the
last three seasons. .Last year s
team won their first ten
games before losing to Ala
bama in the orange bowi.
More people will be able to
see Nebraska in action than
ever. Work is presently under
way to enlarge the capacity
of Memorial Stadium from
50,600 to 63,845. Those who
are unable to make it to the
stadium will be able to watch
the Huskers on television
against Missouri (Oct. 29) and
Oklahoma (Thanksgiving
Day, Nov. 24).
In addition to playing each
of their seven other Big Eight
rivals, Nebraska will also
tangle with Texas Christian
(Sept. 17) and Utah State
(Sept. 24) at home, and will
journey to Wisconsin (Oct. 8).
Pre-season prognostications
indicate that Colorado and
Oklahoma will be the biggest
hurdles for the Huskers as
they try for a fourth straight
title. Nebraska will play both
of these teams away from
home.
The Cornhuskers will be
well-prepared for the defense
of their championship. Of last
year's 22 starters, 13 return.
Quarterback Bob Churchich,
who led the Big Eight in
passing in 1964, and Harry
Wilson, who was Nebraska's
top ground gainer last sea
son, will return, as will Lar

turns. Nebraska's defense will be
stingy again with guard
Wayne Meylan, end Langston
Coleman, line-backer Lynn
Senkbeil, and tackle Dick
Czap back for another sea
son. Bob Devaney has the win
ningest record of any active
collegiate coach. His record
since 1957 is 73 wins, 16
losses, and five ties. Since
coming to Nebraska in 1962,
his record is 38 wins and six
losses. His Nebraska teams
have appeared in the Orange
Bowl twice, the Cotton Bowl,
and the Gotham Bowl. Last
year's team was ranked third
in the nation at the end of
the regular season.
The 1965 Cornhusker team
was generally regarded to be
the best in Nebraska football
history. The Huskers were
undefeated during the regular
season (for the first time
since 1915), as they easily
captured their third consecu
tive Big Eight championship.
An indication of the strength
of the team is the winning
scores of some of the games i
34-14 vs. Texas Christian, 44-0
vs. Iowa State, 37-0 vs. Wis
consin, 41-0 vs. Kansas State,
38- 13 vs. Colorado, and 42-6 vs.
Kansas.
Nebraska's third appear
ance in the Orange Bowl on
Jan. 1 turned into a night
mare as Alabama raced to a
39- 28 victory. Three touch
down passes by Bob Church
ich (an Orange Bowl record)
furnished a bright spot for
Nebraska.
