Lack of Playing Fields May Cancel IM Football The loss of six football fields and the addition of 15 flag football teams may force cancellation of the fall intramural flag football program, Joel Meier, Uni versity intramural director, confirmed this week. Meier said that he is an ticipating replacing football with volleyball in the event facilities in Lincoln can not be found. "I'm working with the Lincoln Parks and Recrea tion Department and the Lincoln Public Schools in trying to find fields that meet certain require ments," he said. FINAL DECISION Meier said he wants one or two areas large enough to accommodate 20 football fields with equipment stor age space, office space and locker rooms with showers and within ten minutes walk ing distance of the Univers ity. He added that a final de cision to continue the pro gram will be delayed until next Friday, but "if I don't have any more fields by then it will be too late to start football this year." "Even if we locate areas, we will get a late start," he said, "We won't be able to start for at least three Auto Accident Stops Ilcllhusch Track standout Les Hell busch will be sidelined dur ing the cross-country season following a knee injury suf fered in a recent automo bile accident.

Now what? Th weeks because schedules must be drawn, fields must be mowed and marked, and equipment must be as signed." NOT PRACTICAL Meier said the only fields available for flag football are three fields on the east campus and "it just isn't practical to use them for the entire schedule."

A former Colorado football coach says they're tougher, faster and twice as dedicated as a decade ago. From any view point, today's athletes are a special breed. To get on top, they'll use anything pep pills, feath erweight shoes, fiber-glass poles. They'll work out at all times, under all condi tions. Despite the scientific nature of their training pro grams, they remain a sus picious lot. Jim Ryun, the phenomen al Kansas miler, refuses the usual pre-meet fare of tea and toast. Before one sub four minute effort, he wolfed two hamburgers, an order of fries and a large Coke, if you please. After the race, he felt a "little woozy." During the season, they live a life that most would call paradise gigantic steaks, free movies, and "laundry money" help while away free hours. But there's no getting away from the field and the re minders. "Ya wanna lose your scholarship, bum? Get to work! A few laps around a prac tice field can make the best steak taste like dry hay and a few solid lumps can make a soft bed a Hindu tor ture rack.

This means each team would play five games, requiring 255 league games to complete the league season and 30-40 ad ditional playoff games. Playing 15 games five days a week on the three fields would stretch the regular season into late De cember or early January. It's unlikely that all games could be played without the cold weather setting in Meier said. CONSTRUCTION SQUEEZE He said that last year the intramural games were played on four fields in the women's physical education area, three fields on east campus and two non-regulation sized fields on the Mall. However, the construction of the new Women's PE Building, leant that the fields wl not be leased to the Inuamural Depart ment as the women were expanding their facilities. Meier said that a parking lot constructed on half of the mall during the sum mer, also eliminated hold ing games in the Mall. "SCRAPED AND HUNTED" He said that the football fields have caused problems for the last ten years and that the department has "scraped and hunted" try ing to get the season games completed. Two years ago, space was so limited that games were played up to the first snow fall and the football finals were held the following spring. "I don't think people real ly realize how pressed we are as far as space is con cerned," he added in ex plaining that the University "is far behind" in provid ing facilities for almost 18, 000 students.

Coach Jim Owens' Hus kies, who compiled a 6-4 record while handing UCLA its only loss, brings nine starters from last year's defensive crew that allowed opponents only 141 points. Like the Huskers, Wash ington finds several sopho mores pressing upperclass men for starting berths. QUARTERBACKS BATTLE At quarterback, the Hus kers have three inexperi enced men, Al F i e r r o, Frank Patrick and Ernie Sigler, battling for the starting nod. Washington's 1966 starting quarterback is facing a challenge from a surprising sophomore for Saturday's opening call. Tom Sparlin, who led the team in offense in 1966 with 1,086 total yards, is battling sophomore Tom Manke, who has shown ability to pass consistently, for the signal calling job. Returning Husky offen sive standouts include tac kle Bob Richardson, a 6' 3", 240 pound senior who was named to honorable men tion positions on the Asso ciated Press All-Coast and All-Conference teams. Half back Cark Wojciechowski, a 5 11" 190 pound junior. is staging a battle with Gerald Wea, a strong run- m Tough Assignment ... ner and receiver, for the starting offensive halfback post. At flanker back is Jim Cope, who established a single Huskie game recep tion mark against USC with 11 receptions for two touch downs, and averaged 4.3 yards on 40 rushes last season. Joining Cope at flanker will probably be Harrison Wood, a 6' 2", 190 pound junior, who not only runs well but also cleared 6' 4" in the high jump last track season. Defensively, the Huskies are led by 6' 5" 230 pound tackle Steve Thompson, who was named to the AP All-American honorable mention berth last year. VALUABLE TOE Other defensive stars in elude middle linebacker George Jugum, a 6', 225 pound junior and two-letter winner Bob Pederson, a senior safety who was second in the AAWU in pass interceptions. But the big gunner may be kicker Don Martin, Summer English Students To Meet A meeting for all students who participated in the Eng lish 229 summer program will be held Thursday at 3:30 in the Nebraska Union.

"Washington always has a good sound teams and we know they are one of the best teams out west, but we'll be ready for them," the Husker mentor said. Defensive tackle Harry man squad are juniors Phil Medcalf, Kent Radke and Gregg Young. Les Hellbusch, 1966 start er, who recently underwent a knee operation, is not ex pected to compete this sea son.
