Rood Awakening
By MICK ROOD
Picture him out there ... the great fallen Corn
husker, fallen on evil ways. That once-respected be
hemoth struggling across the Great Gridiron Desert.
Above him flies a conference of buzzards, six to be
exact. Big Red keeps glancing up at the menacing ad
versaries, remembering that last Saturday one of them
nearly ended it all. With one desperate but majestic
lunge, the Huge Husker managed to eradicate one of his
circling foes.
Blotting out the Midwestern sun's oppressive heat,
the other six cast a forlorn shadow on our hagard hero.
Plodding across his tarnished Golden Turf, Big Red
is iacing an outside threat from a Big Ten Badger who
wants to beat the buzzards to it.
Huge Husker casts his Big Red eyes up forlornly
at his new natural adversary.
(End of this week's script.)
We-e-elUl . . .
Will the Blushing Behemoth reach the Winning Wa
ter Hole?
Will the buzzardly forces of evil finally overcome
our hero, now on the hot, dusty road?
Or will our Weekend Warrior indeed himself over
come the forces of football, and or evil?
And another thing . . . shouldn't SOMEONE call the
Commissioner about our hero's plight?
Tune in next week, when you will hear Miss Word-
fiinfTPr sav. "Didn't that score Bowl you over.
Ris? Red: The most fantastic Football Fighter
conference has ever known!
That might be the over-melodramatic approach to the
Nebraska scoring drought, but to hear the state scribes'
scramble to reassure rabid rooters, one might not think
so.
Be reassured that the defense has had more luck
preventing scores than the offense has had inventing
them. Mick's Maxim of the day.
Being unafraid of the Madison campus' beer-in-the-union
threat, or their football team, I see it NEBRASKA
28, WISCONSIN 10.
Other efforts include Colorado over Oklahoma St.;
Kansas over Iowa State; Oklahoma returns to the top
over Texas; Ohio State to grind Illinois; Florida to top
Florida State; Tennessee over Georgia Tech; Mississippi
over Georgia; TCU can win . . . over Texas Tech, Bos
ton College over Penn State and Stanford to upend Ore-
The average may drop with these games. Last week
it was 7 to 14, making it 23 for 37 on the season.

More On Passing
Big Eight Conference
teams are passing more,
this year than ever before
and enjoying it more as
accuracy and yardage re
sults balance the offensive
efforts around the Confer
ence. This offensive trend
gained momentum last year
with the change in the sub
stitution rule creating more
speciliazation. But after a
fast start, there was a quick
slow down early in the sea
son. Now a year's more ex
perience is showing with an
aerial peak for this season
hit last Saturday when the
seven active teams hit 72
of 141 for 863 yards. That
paints a composite average
team picture of 11 of 20 for
123 yards. Last year at this
time, nary a team had a 50
per cent accuracy count.
In particular, the change
can be seen in the game
plans of Nebraska and
Oklahoma.
Nebraska's jump has bal
anced the Husker offense
like it basn't been for some
time. Now hitting on 55 per
cent of its tries, the Nebras
kans are gaining 157 yards
a game; just 10 fewer than
the potent running backs
are getting.
Defense has been the key
for Nebraska early in the
season, and right there,
unlocking just about every
play of the Husker opposi
tion, has been Wayne Mey
lan, All American candi
date from Bay City, Mich.
Coach Bob Devaney has
rated Meylan "the best de
fensive lineman I've ever
coached at Nebraska." A
look at Meylan's statistical
record for the first three
games of the season veri
fies Devaney's statement.
Meylan has made 11 un
assisted tackles, 12 assist
ed tackles, one fumble re
covery, a blocked punt
and has broken up two
forward passes.
Meylan is a member of
Nebraska's famed "Fear
some Fivesome", including,
tackles Carel Stith and
Jim McCord and lineback
ers Lynn Senkbeil and Rick
Coleman. These five and
the rest of the defensive
unit have held the Husk
ers three opponents to a 29
yard per game average
which is second in the na
tion. Utah leads with an
average of 21 yards.
THAT SOCKING ABLER ATTITUDE
TO HEATHERS VITH EVERYTHING
In the true crew: Adler Adlastic. Now in 16 new heathers. Heathers?
Scotch for color. But so easy on hue they go with everything. Going on in
lambswool for luxury. Nylon for wear. Spandex to stretch all ways. $1.50
says you're socking right up to your attitude in Adlastic Heathers plus
15 other socko colors. And you used to think blondes were fun.

GOLDS
He was shifted from an of
fensive guard at mid-season
last year to the No. 2
post behind All-America
tackle Walt Barnes. He as
sisted in 45 tackles for the
season.
Meylan is strong, quick,
and aggressive making him
a constant threat during a
football game. He is a jun
ior and will return for one
more year of Big Red foot
ball. Meylan was a three year
letterman at T. L. Handy
High in Bay City, earning
monograms in football,
track and wrestling. He is
enrolled in Teachers C o 1

Nebraska.

Seek Big Eight Title
Nebraska basketball
coach Joe Cipriano has an
nounced that following the
freshman football game
with Kansas State on Oct.
14 the University will hold
its annual press day for
the news media. The ap
proximate starting time
will be 4:30 p.m.
Nebraska will have four
teen players return on the
varsity this season, includ
ing four of the five starters
from last year's record set
ting team.
Also to be on hand will
be 13 freshman reporting
for coach Glen Potter.
The Huskers are seeking
their first outright confer
ence championship since
1915-16 this season and
have been picked by some
pre-season polls to do it.
Last year Nebraska f i n
ished the season with a 20
5 record, 12-2 in the Big
Eight, finishing second to
Kansas.
The team, led by captain
Grant Simmons (who
gained district All-Ameri-can
honors) broke many
existing Cornhusker rec
ords including most points
scored, rebounds made
and offensive average.
Simmons is the only starter
not returning this year.
Willie Campbell (6-6) and
Nate Branch (6-4) are sen
iors returning. Both are
two year lettermen. Stuart
Lantz (6-3), Tom Baack
(6-6) Jim Damm and Ron
Simmons (6-0) are t juniors
who lettered last season.'
Lantz and Baack were
starters on the 1965-66
team. Other returning
members of the squad are
Frank Empkey (6-8), a let
terman, and Charles Stone
(6-9).
Sophomores bols t e r i n g
the Huskers this season
will be Roger Leitner (6-6),
Dan Shaver (6-4), Denton
Sullivan (6-7), Dale Von
Seggern (6-7) and Rob
Wagner (6-2).
The season begins with
the University of Nebraska
playing host to Oregon on
Dec. 2. Besides the regular
season single games, the
Huskers are playing in two
tournaments: the Vander
bilt Invitational Dec. 16 and
17 and the Big Eight Pre
season Tournament in Kan
sas City Dec. 27-31.
Soccer Gains Foothold
On Nebraska Campus
By Bob Flasnick
Sports Editor
Soccer, the counterpart of
football in most of Europe
and South America is gain
ing a foothold at the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
The idea to promote the
game at the University be
gan September 11th at a
foreign student's picnic and
since that time 20 to 30 stu
dents have met every Sun
day afternoon behind Uni
versity High School to play
the world f amous game.
Tim Rickard, a graduate
student in geography from
England, is the big pusher
to get the game installed on
a more permanent basis in
the middle of football hav
en. Says Rickard, who also
serves as coach and man
ager for the team, "We de
cided not let the thing drop
but to try and form some
kind of club out of it."
Rickard emphasized that
the club is not closed and
that any student at the
University is welcome to
come to the practice ses
sions which are held every
Sunday at 2:00 p.m. on the
City Campus intramural
fields.
"Anybody is welcome,"
says Rickard, "Our objec
tive is mainly enjoyment
and exercise, and to gain
some sort of playing exper
ience." But if soccer catches on
at Nebraska, Richard has
plans of selecting a Univer
sity team from among the
better players which would
play other teams in t h e
Big Eight conference.
