After reviewing last week's draft selections, one can
draw the conclusion that pro football wasn't impressed
by Nebraska's all-Americans.
It is understandable that junior middle guard Wayne
Meylan wasn't among the hundreds of collegiate stand
outs tabbed by the pros. He will have his turn next year.
But with five Huskers on the list, the omission of all
Americans Larry Wachholtz and LaVerne Allers glares
with increasing brilliance.
End Of Career
For Wachholtz it means the end of an outstanding
football career.
"I've got a wife, and I can't just drag her along
while I go from tryout camp to tryout camp," the Husker
safety and placekicker says, indicating that he won't pur
sue hopes of playing professional football further.
The 5-8, 166-pounder from North Platte feels that he
was passed up by the pros because they believe him too
small, but that isn't the way Wachholtz sees it.
Not Too Small
"I don't think I'm too small," the Husker record
setter says. "I wouldn't be satisfied until I've tried it."
Wachholtz points to former Husker Billy Jotinson who
latched on as a free agent with the Boston Patriots of the
American Football League iabt year.
"I always thought he would make it and he did,
Wachholtz says comparing Johnson's 5-10, 187-pound sta
ture to his own. However, Wachholtz notes that Johnson is
single and was able to go to professional tryout camps.
Seeing Past Scorecards
Had pro scouts been able to see past their scorecards,
they might have noticed Wachholtz outplay many of then
top draft selections of the past three years.
Twice he was the only man able to stop the NFL's new
golden boy, Gale Sayers, before the former Kansas star
crossed the goal line.
It's doubtful that very many if most of this year's
selections could measure up to that task. And Wachholtz
was only a sophomore at that time, while Sayers was
only one season away from winning the Rookie of the Year
title with the Chicago Bears.
We have seen all nine Nebraska (state colleges in
cluded) selections play and also doubt if any can match
Wachholtz' collegiate record.
Six University Records
The Husker safety owns six University records in
cluding 11 career pass interceptions and seven in one year.
He was second nationally in punt returns as a junior
and tied for the Nebraska scoring lead this year with 42
points, all but six via his right toe.
The scrappy Husker finished the 1966 season with 27
solo tackles and added 28 assists, all from his safety posi
tion. Either the Huskers had a leaky defensive line or
Wachholtz covered a lot of ground.
21 Of 25 Extra Points
He converted on 21 of 25 extra point attempts and five
of eight field goals for the Huskers in 1966, his only
other points coming on a 72-yard punt return against Utah
State.
And finally, he was good enough to earn all-Big Eight
accolades in both his junior and senior years as well as
ail-American honors as a senior.
And remember little Pat Fischer who also had quite
a record with the Cornhuskers, then caught on with the
St. Louis Cardinals.
Fischer, who was about the same size as Wachholtz,
proved that small Huskers are used to playing alongside
giants such as ex-NU star Bob Brown, now one of the top
linemen in the pros.
Wasn't Awed
Fischer wasn't awed by the size of professional stars.
He just went out and beat them, earning all-Pro honors
as a defensive back.
Wachholtz can make it as a pro. But unless he re
ceives feelers as a free agent, he will never get the chance
to prove it.
Larry Wachholtz deserves that chance.
Husker Team To Play
Five Golf Matches
By the time classes
convene after spring vaca
tion, Nebraska's young, but
balanced golf team will
have played five matches
on foreign turf.
The Sophomores who led
the inexperienced team
through a respectable sea
son in a Oklahoma-Colorado
dominated conference
Lettermen R. B. Lau,
Charles Borner, Chuck
Sweetman, Nick West and
Bill Messick lead a 13 man
roster which lists no sen
iors. Galen Ullstrom is the
other junior squad member
strongly challenging for a
starting position.
Leading the sophomore
crop of contenders are Kim
Tyler, Steve Brown, Chuck
Walter, Larry Mason and
Milt Romjueu, last year's
all university intramural
champ, Junior Ed Bricker
and sophomore John Brown-

The winter sports are
fading and the spring sports
are just coming into focus.
But there is one sport at
the University that is prob
ably the most successful
and most obscure of all.
In Big Eight Basketball

This year's end could be
the start of something big
in Big Eight conference
basketball with the return
next year of eight of the
league's top 10 scorers and
seven of the best 10 re
bounders, according to final
full-season statistics re
leased today.
Never before has the con
ference been quite so domi
nated by underclassmen,
the young look became
quite vivid with the an
nouncement of the all-conference
teams by the wire
services. An all-junior first

This is the University of
Nebraska Rifi Club, which
with 40 members has put
forth varsity squads that
are undefeated except for
a second place in the 72
team Camp Perry Invita
tional last week.
The runner-up finish at
the second team headed by
a sixth underclassman.
Two Dons
The leaders of the group
have been the two Dons,
Iowa State's Don Smith,
and Oklahoma's Don Sidle,
who gave the Big Eight its
greatest one-two scoring
punch in history. It was
Smith who came out on top
of Sidle in the all-games
scoring chase, showing 619
points. Sidle, winner of the
conference-games title, had
592.
This makes Smith only
the sixth Big Eight player
to score over 600 points in
a season. His total ranks
behind on'y Kansas' Clyde
Lovellet'r and Wilt Cham-

the Invitational at Kemper

claim of some of the club's
members that the Huskers
have a strong bid at the
Eig Eight title this season.
Chances Good
"The chances of winning

Bob Boozer and Willie Mur
rell on the league's all-time
list. Sidle, with his 592,
comes along just behind the
fifth 600-point producer,
Kansas' Wayne Hightower.
The Dons were one-two in
rebounding, too, with Smith
first at 13.4 and Sidle sec
ond with 10.4 Sidle did win
one individual crown, the
field-goal-accuracy bauble,
hitting over 55 per cent of
his shots.
Stuart Lantz
With these two at lofty
heights were Nebraska's
Stuart Lantz and Kansas'
Rodger Bohnenstiehl, who
were the only two to be
ranked in all four individual
categories for all games.
Lantz was fourth in scoring
(19.1), fifth in rebounding
(7.7), field shooting (.513),
and freethrowing (.775.
Bohnenstiehl finished eighth
in scoring (16.4), eleventh
in rebounding (6.8), second

the four varsity participants
at the Camp Perry meet.
Wunderlich and Allan
Anderson, who also shot in
the Invitational, are two of
the top marksmen in the
conference.
One of the two seniors to
finish among the top 10
scorers was Missouri's Ron
Coleman. Coleman may
have missed a second scor
ing title, but he did come
within one point of his win
ning total of last year, get
ting 511 this time.
This let him finish his
career with 1,295 points,
seventh best on the Big
Eight's all-time list and sec

Coleman did win the free
throw shooting title, how
ever, connecting on .873 of
his tries to edge Oklahoma
State's Jack Herron by .001
in the closest of the indi
vidual races. Coleman's
figure was just .004 off the
