Rood
Awakening
By MICK ROOD
Any reporter who was after a little colorful crowd
comment last Saturday, was right at home In the North
Stadium. An hour after the tense fray, folks, there were
still 20,000 viewing the golden sod from the North and
South.
J; Long after the gladiators had gone, the jammed-up
crowd ceased to talk football. While most of us were
marveling at the engineering genius behind exit plans,
others sought some sort of comic relief you know, a Ne
braskaland sunset or maybe another chance to boo Nbb
by's airplane banner.
The real sleeper among all those pre-season Ail
Americans had to be the guy or guys who dreamed up the
stadium exits north and south. With the escape route only
two people wide, and some of us weaving with spirits,
there was trouble getting to the long ramps and freedom.
One consolation we can try again next week. Bring
an extra meal and courage the bands will be there.
Oh yes, the bands. Suddenly after umpteen years of
young musicians tripping out on the green, the Golden
Turf is too much for their mortal imprints. It's as if the
grass had assumed new qualities.
Look at it this way . . . maybe the Coliseum will start
retiring portions of Supreme Sod where our all time
greats made their best twists and turns. With both teams
being forced to hop-skotch around the sacred plots, t h e
Huskers would be forced to abandon their home schedule
by 1970. That's OK. We could play the home dates out
at Wesleyan . . . maybe run into the track team which
was forced out of Memorial Stadium after another sacri
fice on the altar of Father Football here.
It's getting to be a religion ... To think they used to
just play football at NU.
On AU-Americans, was glad to see one of Nebraska's
best, who however, lacked all that pre-season ink, play
one of his best games. Lynn Senkbeil played one of the
top games for a Devaney lineman in the last five years.
Something tells me it will keep up. His All-American
chances, at best beside the point right now, are still al
most non-existent. He was mysteriously overlooked before
the season by the word-makers. Too bad.
One thing missing last week was an effort at the Big
Eight race. I won't take advantage of the first week's re
sults. Had these guesses written on a bet before last Sat
urday. Surprise, thing went as I thought. The lineup:
1. Nebraska best defense wins. 2. Missouri defense
again with the best back in the league. 3. Oklahoma
Makenzie's Radiers return to Sooner tradition . . . per
haps to tie the Tigers. 4. Colorado can't believe Buff de
fenses have stiffened. 5. low a State should stiffen for
league games. 6. Oklahoma State could be better, but
had same heartbreak start last year. 7. Kansas Skahan,
when playing, can't do it all. 8. Kansas State one of these
times . . .
Saturday's guesses after scoring 9 of 13 last week,
here they are:
UCLA can beat Syracuse; watch out Michigan, Cal
will come close; Oklahoma rolling over Cyclones; Texas
to catch fire over Texas Tech; Kansas State for the first
win over New Mexico; Kentucky over Mississippi; TCU
can edge Ohio State; Duke over Pitt; Florida over Miss.
St. ; Skahanless Kansas over Arizona.
With positively no fear this week: NEBRASKA 28,
UTAH STATE 0.

If you are going to the
Nebraska-Utah State game
this Saturday you might
look for a few changes in
the Nebraska lineup.
Of course, nothing is cer
tain until game time, but
the number one backfield is
expected to have sophomore
Dick Davis at right half
back instead of Harry Wil
son, and Charlie Winters at
fullback in place of Pete
Tat man.
Wilson's weight problem
is believed to have some
thing to do with his demo
tion to the second unit.
Husker Coach Bob Devan
ey said Wednesday that
"Wilson has been working
real hard to get into good
condition." The coach ex
pected that he'd be there
'in a" week or two."
Wilson has been using
sweat clothes and the
steam bath to cut the extra
pounds.
Devaney hinted that he
wanted to look some other
men over at the offensive
end position in Saturday's
game. He termed the job
done against Texas Chris
tian by ends Dennis Rich
nafsky and Dennis Morri
son as "adequate" but add
ed that he expects improve
ment from them.
"They caught the ball
when it was thrown to
them," said the Husker
coach, but "their pass cuts
weren't good enough to get
them open." Tom Penney,
Miles Kimmel and Mike
Wynn are ends Devaney
hooes to look at this Satur
day. Nebraska's kicking game
is expected to go under con
siderable revision this
week. Devaney said Nebras
ka will use sophomore guard
Joe Armstrong as a punter
instead of Al Kuehl.
Either Larry Wachholtz or
Bob Ahlschwede is expect
ed to handle kick-off chores.
Devaney said that Jerry
Patton had re-spralned an
ankle in Saturday's game
and will not be used as Ne
braska's kick-off man until
it heals.
No starting changes are
expected in the offensive or
defensive interior lines, but
Devaney hopes he has a
chance to use Bob Tauch
er at right offensive tackle
and also Mel Brichacek and
Armstrong at offensive
guard positions.

"Defensively we'd like to
get a better look at Barry
Alvarez (linebacker), Len
Janik (linebacker) and Den
nis. Thoreir (safety),,.',said 5
Devaney.
The Nebraska coach said
the TCU game went "much
as we thought it might; we
had a difficult time with
them as was evident."
He calls this Saturday's
foe, Utah State, a bigger,
stronger team than TCU
and even mpre prone to the""
air game than the Horned
Frogs.
Nebraska freshman coach
John Melton .has announced
a 60 member football squad
for the 1966 season.
In addition to a large
number of Nebraska prep
stars, a number of national
high school notables have
joined the squad.
Two backs from Pennsyl
vania, Phil Vassar and
Frank Vactor, were mem
bers of the All Western
Pennsylvania squad. Vact
or (5-9, 173) is a brother
of Ted Vactor, a member
of the 1965 undefeated Hus
ker team and named to the
1964 AH Big Eight squad.
Both played for Pennsyl
vania in the Texas-Pennsylvania
All-Star game.
Rex Lowe (6-1, 187) and
Larry Clark (6-2, 195) were
both All Staters from Wis
consin. Lowe is an end and
Clark a center.
Keith Hayward and Don
McGhee are two standouts
from Michigan. Hayward
was named to the second
team All-State while Mc
Ghee was named to the
High School All-America
team.
The frosh open the 1966
season with Kansas State
'in Lincoln on Oct. 14. On
Oct. 28 Missouri will test
the Husker yearlings, also
in Lincoln. The team trav
els to Lawrence, Kans. on
