ReMarks . . .
By Mark Gordoa
We're off and running
again as the Nebraska
fornhuskers begin their
sixJi season under Head
Coach Bob Devaney. The
Buskers are shooting for
their fifth consecutive Big
Eient croira.
Although negative factors
-Jack of a tested quarter
back and an inexperienced
squad overflowing with
promising, yet unproven
sophomores make Ne
braska predictions risky,
several other publications
haven t been afraid to stick
their necks out
Sports Illustrated, claim
ing Nebraska looks just as
big but no quicker than
last year, picks the Bus
kers as the 13th best team
in the land.
BUFFS llta
Tbey select Colorado's
Buffaloes, who came with
in an eyelash of chopping
down Nebraska last sea
son, as the 12th team be
hind front-running Notre
Bame.
The magazine lists the
Buskers" Saturday foe,
Washington's Huskies, at
spot 15.
Look's Sept 39 issue is
more daring at forecasts
the Scarlet and Cream to
race undefeated through
the regular season before
losing to Texas in the Cot
ton Bowl.
SOONER COMEBACK
In picking Nebraska as
the nation's eighth best
team, the magazine looks
for Colorado and Nebraska
to battle it out 1 or the Big
Eight title. Tbey also pick
the Buffaloes as the tenth
ranked crew with Oklaho
ma regaining then- magic
touch of the "50s" as 18th.
Just as the Huskrs could
use a Johnny VtaSas at
quarterback, the Daily Ne
braskan could use addition
al help in the sports de
jsartment. ColumnisJs. writers and
other aides are asked' to
come to the Nebraskan of
fice in the basement of the
Nebraska Union.

CENTENNIAL GAME

following week's Oklahoma
State contest billed as
Homecoming.
Nebraska's Oct 21 Colo

aren't booked as a special
day. but those two games
don't need a special title.

compare their football
crews with other regional
teams this season as they
meet 21 non-conference
foes.
Teams such as Arkan

Northwestern. Ari
zona, Maryland, Virginia
Tech and the Air Force

Cornhusker Hopes High Despite Inexperience
By Mark Gordon
As the Nebraska Cornhusk
ers open their 77th football
season against the highly
rated Washington Huskies
Saturday at Seattle, the b i g
problem on Bob Devaney's
sixth Husker team is inexper
ience. Unlike past Devaney crews
which have been ladened with
returning starters, this year's
crew has only 23 lettermen
returning Four offensive
starters and five defensive
starters from last year's Big
Eight leaders and no experi
enced signal caller at quar
terback. 45 SOPHOMORES
Of the 76 players reporting
for the official weighing-in
session. 45 were classified as
sophomores with only 31 up
perclassmen 18 sensors and
13 juniors.
"I think their inexperience
makes them try harder." said
Coach Devaney as the Busk
ers beaded into their final
practices before Saturday's
opener at Seattle.
"They're trying real hard
and working bard and I think
they are anxious to retain
their championship," be
added. "This has caused
them to battle hastier and
keep up their enthusiasm."
ROOM TO IMPROVE
"We're making gradual
progress, but of course there's
room for improvement
said.
Offensive returnees include
tight end Dennis Morrison,
Nebraska's number two re
ceiver in 1966 with 22 catches
for 271 yards and two touch
downs: Dennis Richnafsky, a
split end who missed consid
erable action last season with
a fractured ankle.
Also back are Canker back
Tom Penney, who filled in at
split end while Richnafsky
was sidelined and co-captain
Ben Gregory, a hard -driving
halfback who tied for number
two rushing yardage in 1966.
MEYLAX BACK
The defense will
s t e r e d by All-American
Wayne Meyian at middle
guard: Jerry Patton, an end
converted to tackle and Jim
McCord, a 252-pound tackle.
Also returning Barry Alvarez,
sure-tackling linebacker and
co-captain Manr Mueller who
is playing in the safety slot
vacated by graduated Larry
Wachboltz, another Husker
AH-American.
Sophomores figure highly in
this year's Husker plans on
both offense and defense with
several present! holding
spots on the first three
teams.
Carl Ashman, a 205 pound
right guard from Eur ell and
Frank Patrick, a big 6' T
freshman standout at quarter
back, may see first string ac
tion this weekend at Washing
ton. PATRICK HURT
Patrick, who was hospital
ized over the weekend with a
recurring leg injury, has vet
eran observers eyeing him
with bis size and impressive
freshman credentials. In four
freshman games, be con
nected on 49 of S8 passes and
tossed four touchdown
passes.
Sophomores who may see
considerable varsity duty this i
isfftimanrv
fall defensively include end
Mike Wynn, a 6'4" offensive
end, Adrian Fialaa corner
back, and former Lincoln
Pius X star Dana Stephenson,
a safety. .
Other offensive lettermen
returning include end Miles
Kimmei, tackles Bub Tacher,
who has dropped 30 pounds to
245 and Dan Delaney; guard
Mel Bricfaacek, and centers
Roger Kudrna and Joe Arm
