Husker quarterback Bob Churcbich connected with tight end Dennis Morrison eight times for 108 yards in Nebraska's
21-19 victory over Colorado Saturday.
Huskers Avert Near Tragedy;
Stage 21-19 Comeback Victory
It would have been alto
gether fitting Saturday for
. every, one of the estimated
' 15,000 Nebraska aggregation
at Colorado to tip their hat
to the Huskers (if they still
had one at the end of the
game) for staging one of the
most inspired comeback vic
tories in Nebraska History.
Said Husker coach Bob
Devaney of the thrilling 21
39. M4, "This has to be the
"best comeback in any game
I have ever been associated
with. Yes, the best, because
we were two touchdowns be
hind in the final quarter."
With 13:13 left in the
game the score was Colora
do 19, Nebraska seven. The
first Nebraska loss to a Big
Eight foe since the 17-7 set
back at Oklahoma in 1964
looked all but assured. It
was a bleak moment in Ne
braska football.
Colorado's Half
The first half of the game
belonged to Colorado. In the
first two quarters the Buf
faloes ran through Nebras
ka's heralded ground de
fense for 181 yards. One
hundred one of them be
longed to the Buffs 5-10, 173
pound quarterback sessa
tion Dan Kelly.
The Aurora, Colorado, na
tive used a roll-out play
that all but baffled the Hus
kers and he completed four
passes in that first half for
71 yards.
Nebraska scored first in
the contest following a
muffed punt catch by CU's

With 6:41 remaining in
the same quarter, Colorado
safety Dick Anderson
slammed into Churchich
and forced a fumble which
was recovered by Buff mid
dle guard Ron Scott at the
Nebraska 15. Fullback Wil
mer Cooks picked up a Co
lorado first down four
plays later at the Nebrask
two. On the next play Kelly
again called on Cooks with
the result a touchdown. The
extra point attempt by Far
ler was wide to the right.
Farler could dream about
that one for years.
Nebraska's attempt to
move the ball fizzled on
their own 45 and Joe Arm
strong sailed a punt into the
Colorado end zose.
The Buffs then started a
80-yard drive which was cli
maxed when Cooks bulled
over from the one. Nebras
ka received a break in that
drive when a pass from
Kelly to CU's speedy split
end Larry Platz was com
plete in the end zone but
was nullified by an illegal
receiver down field.
The Buffs regrouped on
the Husker 2.1. Kelly skirted
left end for 16 yards to the
five, and again for four
yards to the one, and then
called on Cooks for the TD.
This time Farler connected
on the extra point and with
6:12 left in the half it was
13-7 Colorado.

Kelly ended Colorado's
scoring for the afternoon
with 3:39 left in the first
half. With fourth and four
at the Nebraska 29 the firey
little quarterback dropped
back, eluded a strong Ne
braska pass rush and con
nected with Platz who had
outraced the Nebraska sec
ondary. The Buffs faked the extra
point kick and Kelly went
sprinting around right end
with the ball, but was
knocked out on bounds at
the one. The score remained
19-7 as the half ended.
New NU Team
It was the same Nebras
ka team that took the field
in the second half, but in
appearance only. The Hus
ker defense corraled Kelly,
allowing him only 35 yards
in the final two periods com
pared to 101 in the first half
and the offense went to the
air by way of the experi
enced hand of Churchich.

passes in the first half,

20 of 34 attempts. Ends Den

second half surge.
With 6:50 left in the third
quarter the Huskers began
a march on their own 28 and
moved down to the Colora
do one. With fourth and one
to go for a touchdown
Churchich attempted a keep
er over left tackle, but met
opposition right at the goal
line.
It was extremely close to
a touchdown and the Hus
kers were certain they had
scored. "We all know we
scored then," said Church
ich after the game, "a n d
when they didn't give it to
us, we only tried harder."
Trailing 19-7 with 13:13
left in the game, the Hus
kers initiated a touchdown
drive from their own 37. A

Penney for the exact yard

march.
Two plays later Church
ich connected with Morri

lorado 23. A keeper by
Churchich and a draw play
to Charlie Winters moved
the ball down to the 11 yard
line.
Churchich then hit Mor
rison in the left flat and the
Omaha junior sprawled into
the end zone for six points.
Wachholtz connected on the
point after making it 19-14
in Colorado's favor with
10:42 left in the game.
Twice after that the Co
lorado defense held Nebras
ka, forcing the Huskers to
punt.
Huskers Recover
Nebraska gained posses
sion of the ball for the last
time after middle guard
Wayne Meylan, who re-entered
the game after suffer
ing a muscle spasm in his
back during the first half,
threw Kelly for a 12-yard
loss to the Colorado 28 and
forced the Buffs into a kick
ing situation.
The Huskers took the ball
on their own 32, trailing by
five points with 2:22 left in
the game.
Churchich, using the clock
masterfully, threw nine
straight passes in moving
the ball to the Colorado
nine. The longest pass in the
series was the last one, a
16-yarder to Penney from
the Colorado 25 yard line.
At the nine Gregory and
Tatman hit right guard for
four and then three yards
respectively. With 53 sec
onds left Tatman rammed
through right tackle for the
game-winning touchdown.
The kick by Wachholtz
made it 21-19. Wachholtz lat
er intercepted a despera
tion aerial by Kelly to kill
the Buffalo comeback
hopes.

Physical Education build
ing," said Meier.
A twenty dollar entry fee
is also required.
And since where there are
sports, there are officials,
Meier has also scheduled a
clinic for referees in Room
114 for 7 p.m., November 1.
Anyone interested in ref

the matches.
The director did say that
he hopes to have the pro

Each team should be
playing at least once a

matter of how many courts

After only a week of
practice, Husker basketball
coach Joe Cipriano has
found much to praise about
his team.
"We can truthfully say
that this is the best pre
conditioned team that we've
had at Nebraska," said
Cipriano. "We are very
happy with their opening
day performance."
Cipriano, named the Big
Eight "Coach of the Year"
last season, said that he
has been running funda
mental drills during the
opening week of practice.
"We've placed most of
the emphasis on t h e of
fense, particularly the fast
break, and we've worked
on our press," he contin
ued. Cipriano labeld Nebras
ka's team spirit as "excel
lent". "Our boys have shown
great spirit thus far, which
is a very good sign," he
said.
Nebraska has four return
ing starters from last year's
record-breaking team and
is considered to be the
main challenger for the
Big Eight title. Only Grant
Simmons, district All Amer
ican, will not return.

"We are not in a position
to name the starting line
up," said the Husker
coach, "but it looks like
we may have some spir
ited competition for the
starting roles."
Cipriano said that junior
Frank Empkey (6-8) and
red-shirt Ernie Strasil
(6-5, sophomore) have been
working ha"d to gain start
ing roles. Also, Ron Sim
mons (6-0), Jim Damm (6

are working for the fifth
starter position.
"Our sophomores have
shown a lot of improvement
and look good so far," he
continued.
Cipriano also commented
on the pre-season prestige
the Huskers have enjoyed
this season:
"We can read all of the
magazines and newspapers
we want to, but it has no
bearing on the way we will
finish this season.
"We have a good chance
at being a contender for the
league championship if
we'll work hard as a group
and concentrate on our
weaknesses."

Rocks Awaj

An old red rocking chair
in room 206 of Washington
House is swingirg up a
storm this week.
Ben Hart owns it. And
Ben Hart's rocking in it.
You can hear its creak up
and down the halls of the
dorm housing the Oklahoma
football team.
Because Hart, Coach Jim
Mackenzie's split end, is a
rocking man. He's also a
worrying man. He worries
before Oklahoma games. He
worries after them, too.
"Thinking about the mis
takes I've mad e." And
when he worries, he has to
rock.
I'm a nervous individual,"
Ben explains. "Lots of
thoughts go through my
mind. When I get to worry
ing about our games, I get
these tension headaches."
Then's w h e n I hunt my
rocking chair. After I rock
awhile, I start relaxing."
Hart's rocker, an old plat
form job with red tweed
upholstery, is only one of
many he has owned. He's
worn out a half dozen
through the years. Just
worrying and rocking. And
rocking and worrying. 0 1 d
rockin' chair's got him.
What does he do when
Oklahoma goes on the road
and he can't take that old
chair with him? "I just
rock back and forth where
ever I'm sitting. On t h e
team plane, or in our play
er meetings, or anywhere
in our team hotel."
Ben rocking quietly back
and forth has been a famil
iar sight to Sooner teams
the last three seasons.
Hart can rock in any kind
of an old chair, just so it's
hard and stiff.
