Rood
Awakening
By MICK ROOD
The Nebraska-Missouri rivalry has been the finest in
the conference in the past ten years. Even before Bob
Devaney's rude interruption of Tiger supremacy in 1963,
the series was hard fought. Only two Missouri wins, 31-0
in 1958 and 28-0 in 1960, were of the lopsided variety.
After Devaney's first team dropped one to Dan De
vine's team in 1962, the Huskers have won three straight.
The televised tilt in '62 was a typical Missouri victory.
Nebraska could score only on a pass interception ... the
Tiger defense was too much by a 16-7 count.
Since then, the Big Red has counted on the Big Play
to beat Tigers.
In 1963, it was Bruce Smith, badly cut of position,
diving to knock down a Tiger two-point convtrsim pass.
That preserved a 13-12 win in Columbia.
In 1964, the Huskers blanked Mizzou for the first time
since 1937, winning by a 9-0 margin. The '37 score was
7-0. Sophomore Langston Coleman's smashing safety on
Gary Lane and Kent McCloughan's dancing pass recep
tion and run won that one. All-American Larry Kramer
laid Mizzou's Johnny Roland out to make McCloughan's
trip easier.
In 1965, Nebraska returned to Columbia for a shock
ing 14-0 first quarter deficit. Gary Lane, as he did many
times against Nebraskans, looked like the best back in
the country. Nebraska needed clutch runs by Harry Wil
son and a firm field goal from Larry Wachholtz to pull
it out.
And so it goes. Earlier this season it was mentioned
here that if things didn't change too much during the
season, the Tigers could make it stick in Lincoln. Things
have changed, but both teams appear a little under pre
season hopes from here.
I imagine most will have the Huskers 1 to 6 point
favorites and some have taken the Tigers to upset Ne
braska. I would rate them about even.
Nebraska, despite a still-prolific offense, has been
held by a mediocre schedule to about 21 points a game.
Missouri, despite an offense that has sputtered more than
Nebraska's, has managed 17 points per game, scoring
when they counted. And crossing that goal line, sports
fans, is what counts.
Add the fact that Devine's outside competition of
UCLA, Illinois and Minnesota would have little trouble
outclassing Nebraska's non-league foes. Utah State hasn't
bagged one yet. Texas Christian has won only one. And
the Big winner, Wisconsin, can claim two victories.
Finally, the Tigers will have no trouble with spirit.
Their team is the healthiest it has been for several games.
All the recent Husker-Tiger history above is not with
out meaning. Mizzou knows they can beat Nebraska . . .
the tradition can goad them on.
Two semi-sleeping offenses and two superior defens
es. Add rivalry and national ranking to the grid stew
and anybody can cook up an "upset."
Again this week, Coach Devaney appears to be brew
ing a surprise soup to sop the Tigers with. However, in
five years here, the Huskers mentor has yet to use trick
ery to great advantage. Big plays, yes. But always off
the standard plans worked to perfection.
There was pre-season talk about use of the I-forma-tion
That talk disappeared in the excitement of the year.
If there are any Husker surprises Saturday, the "I' may
be the ticket.
The big test comes this week, despite last week s her
oics. Hope the Husker have it.
Figuring that Tiger spirit is higher, and that the Hus
ker offense is still in the doldrums, I see it MISSOURI 2,
NEBRASKA 9. i tt
I have not defected ... I just have a hunch. Hope
the team makes me eat it.

To Tackle
MU Tigers
By Ed Icenogle
Sports Assistant
Nebraska's freshman foot
ball squad is moving up
up from Wildcats to Tig
ers, The junior Huskers will
host the Missouri Tigers
Friday afternoon at 2:30 in
the NU frosh's second en
tanglement of the season.
They whipped the Kansas
State Wildcats, 40-13, Octo
ber 17.
Missouri trounced Missou
ri Valley, 57-0, in a game
that was called after three
quarters because of rain,
and overran Iowa State, 45
10 for a 2-0 season mark.
. Asked how tough Missou
ri looked this year, NU
freshman football coach
John Melton pointed to the
NU-Missourl Valley game
film that he was viewing
and said, "That's 21 points
is 11 minutes . . . any more
questions?"
Looking toward the game
from the Nebraska side,
Melton said that none of his
scheduled starters had in
juries from the opener or
practice.
On the baby Huskers on
ly grid test to date, the
frosh coach noted the per
formances of two.
"Joe Orduna did a good
job," he said of the left half
back who carried 17 times
for an average of 2.94 yards
and returned two kickoffs
(or a total of 76 yards.

Wachholtz Gets
'Smallest' Title
How about a little high
school star being recruited
for a big college football
team because he impressed
recruiters with his basket
ball ability?
That's exactly what hap
pened in the case of Ne
braska's Larry Wachholtz,
premier safety of the Big 8
Conference, if not the na
tion. Frank Solich yielded his
"Smallest Man" title to
Larry Wachholtz this fall
after the Huskers' diminu
tive duo battled each other
on the scales for two sea
sons. But now that he's sole
owner of the "Smallest
"Husker" title, Larry is
standing taller than ever
amidst the Cornhusker de
fensive platoon. And the
tough (5-8, 166) safety is
the Huskers' leading scor
er, too.
The versatile North
Platte senior, a solid All
America candidate after
earning All Big 8 and second-team
All America lau
rels last year, is a constant
threat during the entire
game.
Few men in the nation
can match his punt-returning
skill. Last year he
ranked No. 2 in the nation
and he's led the Big 8 for
three straight. This year
he's averaging 14.2 and his
72-yard TD jaunt with a
Utah State punt put that
game on ice.
And for curtain-calls,
Wachholtz can swing his
toe so accurately, in
fact, that he's the NU rec
ord holder for extra point
kicks. Last year he led the
Huskers in scoring with 36
extra points and three field
gols for 45 points. His 36
of 39 PATS set a Nebraska
record.
And he's defending his
title this year, currently

leading the Nebraska point
parade with 31 points,
based on 13 of 15 PATS and
four of six field goals, plus
a TD on a 72-yard punt re
turn. How did a little 150-pound
high school footballer catch
the eye of Cornhusker
scouts?
Strangely enough, Wach
holtz impressed Nebraska
football coaches by the way
he played basketball.
Here's the way Jim Ross,
Nebraska's defensive back
field coach, tells the tale:
"We knew about Larry
because he was the quarter
back on the state champion
ship team, and we were
really interested in the full
back, Pete Tatman. But we
were afraid Larry was just
too small to make it in the
Big 8.
"Then we watched him
play basketball with North
Platte, in the State High
School Basketball Tourna
ment at the Coliseum.
North Platte really wasn't
a great team, and I think
they lost the first game, but
Wachholtz fought every sec
ondhe was a real hustler
who looked like the best
competitor we'd seen. So
we figured if he would play
that hard in a lost cause,
he might be the kind of boy
we wanted on our football
team. We've never been
sorry because Larry is as
fine a defensive back, and
as fine an all-around foot
ball player as there is in
the country."
"He'll tackle anyone,
anywhere, anyhow," says
Coach Bob Devaney. "He's
a great competitor and a
fine athlete, one of the fin
est athletes we've ever had
the opportunity to work
with."

Morrison: No Regrets,
Would Rather Play End
The last time Nebraska
appeared on television, the
Huskers boasted an All
America left end named
Tony Jeter. He's graduated
now and one of the big 1966
worries was about' filling
his shoes.
Well, Coach Bob Devaney
Isn't fretting about left end
any more. The reason: Den
nis Morrison is doing just
fine, as the Huskers get
set to meet Missouri in a
key Big 8 game which will
be seen on ABC-TV Satur
day at 12:15 p.m.
Morrison, in fact, rapid
ly gaining star status mid
way through his first cam
paign as a wingman.
The former Omaha North
quarterback and halfback
star was switched to e n d
after a soph season that
saw him see only a f e w
minutes duty as a back. And
he's really found a home.
Against Colorado, Denny
made eight grabs of Bob
Churchich passes (he w a s
eight for eight, by the way)
to get equal billing in the
Cornhusker record b o o K
with Dennis Richnafsky
(the right end who is out
with a fractured ankle) and
Freeman White, the Husk
ers' other 1965 All Ameri
can end.

caught 19 passes this sea
son and is credited with
gaining 229 yards for the
Husker offensive platoon.
He's only nine snares away
from All American Free
man White's season mark
of 28, set last year.
Does he regret leaving
the halfback ranks?
"No, sir," says Morrison.
"I really enjoy playing end
more than halfback. I think
the reason is you're a little
more free to roam you can
run some patterns and work
in the wide open spaces.
When you're at halfback,
you can frequently get tan
gle up in quite a crowd."
Says Tom Osborne, Ne
braska offensive ends
coach, "Denny has done a
great job of accepting a new
responsiblility and working
hard to become proficient.
Not only has he done a good
job of pass catching all fall,
he's also working hard at
blocking and he's showing
improvement all the time."

Bob Churchich, the new
Big Eight Conference pass
ing leader, is a business ad
ministration major at Ne
braska and it is probably
just as well he's close to an
accountant who will have to
be called in to keep his
game, season, and career
figures in order.
Churchich, who has" been
throwing with the accuracy
of an accountant, has now
passed for over 200 yards
in a game for the third
time in his career as he hit
for 236 against Colorado, a
game high this year for the
Conference, in the Huskers'
