Rood
Awakening
' By MICK ROOD
If you have versatile personnel, a very capable coach
ing staff and a winning tradition, then why not victory?
(Pardon the Goldwater phrasing.)
It appears the Alabama complex has set in. The Ne
braska watchers and Huskerologists are perplexed . . . they
watched TV last Saturday. Alabama seemed invincible.
The Grecrf White Hope
But there is a Great White Hope ... the answer pos
sibly to Nebraska football problems.
This mastermind is able to leap tall tales (Tide invinci
bility) in a single bound, is faster than a speeding mind
and more powerful than Alabama's victory train.
What's more, this superforce is utilized by every NU
college except the College of Football.
This sport saviour could lurk somewhere in the hum
ming of the University of Nebraska Computer Center.
Why not send the Husker coaches over to Nebraska Hall
to get the digital dope
Giving Correct instructions
According to the boys who know, a major requirement
for successful computer usage is giving the correct instruc
tions for accomplishing its task. Who would be better quali
fied than the football staff
NU coaches, sadly well-versed on Alabama's game by
now, could program the computer to perfection on the
Tide's best and worst moves, when they occur and against
what kind of opponents.
Likewise, Husker mentors could plot our offense and de
fense for the monster's idea of an Alabama game plan.
One would hope the NU machines would be more
confident than NU fans are appearing to be.
Can't you just see the Nebraska coaches huddling
around the computer after hours of programming, await
ing the marvel's split-second answer. It is so quiet you
could hear an IBM card drop.
Suddenly, with a flurry of blinking and a hurry of
humming, the magic card plunks out in computereze
. . . "P..U..N..T"
Great Meeting Of Minds
Not pretending to be an expert on football or com
puters, this columnist just hopes to be a neutral force
behind this grand alliance . . this great meeting of the
"minds." The computer might bolster confidence.
Aside from strategy, what the computer could never
supply, but what the Huskers will have to come with
Jan. 2 seem to be the following:
1) Their best pass rush Stabler appears to be a
quarterback that needs to get set when he must pass.
Anybody who has time can hit Homan or Perkins.
One more thing. Stabler can run better than Sloan
ever did. Hence, what Bob Devaney calls ''containment."
Huskers must have a penetrating pass rush but yet
maintain containment of Stabler's running.
2. Stopping the big play This has always bothered
Husker teams, when they are bothered. Stopping the big
one, the long pass, will be especially important this time
because Nebraska's offense has lacked the ability to re
taliate with the same stuff this year.
Near-Normal Defense
If Nebraska can maintain a near-normal defense for
mation against Bama and still keep Perkins and Homan
and-or Stabler from the long one, we will win. Past at
tempts to loosen up the defense for passes have led to
obvious weaknesses against rushing, as against Okla
homa. Long passes aided the Sooners, but were made
possible by a successful running game.
3. A new formation As was said here earlier, it
would seem advantageous for Nebraska to utilize their
best talents through some sort of new formation. Many
times this year, the attack has looked good only to be
stopped because foes eventually knew what was coming.
A team with good pursuit like Alabama can swarm
any good execution by the Husker offense, unless perhaps
it is caught off guard. (No pun.) Then the awesome NU
power might continue to work past the first stanza.
As Bud Wilkinson calmly observes from his serene
press box every Saturday, if Nebraska can accomplish
these three things, the Huskers will win.
Czap Off Bowl Team . . .

By Bob Flasnick
Sports Editor
The rumor floating
around that coach Bob De
vaney is being considered
for the general manager's
position of the American
Football League Denver
Broncos was dismissed by
the Husker head man
Thursday as he discussed
Nebraska's preparation for
Sugar Bowl foe Alabama.
Devaney said, "Somebody
dreamed that up. There's
no truth in it whatsoever."
That grapevine had it
that Devaney is high on
the priority list of people
being considered to fill
the now vacant position,
but Bronco co-owner and
acting general manager
Gerald I'hipps recently
staled that Devaney has
not been approached con
cerning the position.
Another Nebraska name
in the news is defensive
tackle Dick Czap who was
not on the 57-man roster
of Huskers that will make
the Dec. 20 trip to the
Brownsville, Tex. training
camp prior to the Sugar
Bowl.
Czap is planning Jo drop
out of school this semester
according to Devaney. The
Husker coach said Czap is
having scholastic difficulty,

attempt to re-enter

Czap was a starter for
the Huskers in his junior
year, but had trouble re
gaining form this season
after being injured in an
automobile accident short
ly before practice started
last fall.
Concerning Sugar Bowl
practice, Devaney said
that this year Nebraska
would not return home for
Christmas as they did last
year prior to the Orange
Bowl game with the Crim
son Tide.
"We'll be in Brownsville
for Christmas," state De
vaney. He said that for
the players to return home
required "too much trans
portation" and that "it is
better to keep continuity in
practice."

Bids will be opened next
fall for the printing of a
new Big Eight Conference
record book a major re
vising job lies ahead after
the "record-breakingest"
season ever shown by the
tattered and torn old book.
In all, 24 team and in
dividual records were eith
er broken or tied, many of
them in the aerial phase of
the game in a year that
will go down as the pass
ingest ever. Included in the
two dozen are one record
tied three times and anoth
er which was tied four
times.
Individually, the big
breaking duo came from
Iowa State Tim Van Gald
er and Eppie Barney, the
league's most productive
passing pair ever. By the
time this year's 10 games
were over, Van Galder held
the league mark for: most
attempts season (245) and
career (579), most comple
tions game (25), season
(124), and career 260),
most yards season (1,645)
and career (3,451), and
most total offense game
(360) and season (1,749).
Barney was in tune with
the trend, carding the most
pass receptions in a game
(11), season (56), and ca
reer (97), the seasonal and
career marks taking two of
the older records off the
books. Still another Iowa
Stater, Larry Carewll, got
into the act when he re
turned interceptions for a
record 123 yards in a game.
Still in the passing realm,
twice during the season,
Nebraska's Bob Churchich
broke his own accuracy
mark, finally settling for a
.769 percentage with 10 of -

1 Neio Husker Swim Team Coach
I plam
By Ed Icenogle
Sports Assistant
Nebraska's new swim
ming coach, John Reta, is
just beginning his first sea
son in the Big Eight and he
is already planning sur
prises for the conference.
"The team this year,"
Reta said, "doesn't have
the all-around depth and
balance as before."
The new coach, direct
from piloting eight straight
Nebraska high school
championship teams at Lin
coln Southeast, contends
that the Big Eight will be
the strongest ever.
"I believe that one-team
domination is over," he
said, pointing out that Kan
sas, and possibly Kansas
State and Iowa State, have
a good chance at shooting
down an annually strong
Sooner contingent.
Reta rated the remainder
of the conference at rough
ly equal strength, com
menting that the competi
