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

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."
He calculated that the ex

teams would be divided into

Bill Bowerman, Oregon
University track coach,
calls them "molly-coddled
namby-pambies." 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

A few laps around a prac

17 leagues with 6 teams in
each league. 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.

Devaney Faces
Huskies To Test Eager
By Mark Gordon
Sports Editor
Nebraska's opener Satur
day against the Washing
ton Huskies may be Bob
Devaney's toughest early
season assignment since
coming to Lincoln in 1962.
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.

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.

Aim For First Division
Nebraska's young cross
country team began prac
tice Monday for its first
meet Oct. 14 at Manhatten
against the Kansas State
Wildcats, defending Big 8
champion.
With no seniors present
on this fall's squad; Ne
braska will be shooting for
an improvement of its last
place finish the previous
year.
Returning junior standout
Don Bishoff is joined by
some promising sopho
mores, according to coach
Frank Sevigne.
SOPHOMORES HELP
"We are looking for help
from sophomores Mel
Campbell, Mike Randal and
Bob T u p p e r," Sevigne
noted. "They all have been
pushing Bishoff for the
number one position."

kers their first opening
game setback since Texas
blanked Nebraska 20-0 in
1959, but Devaney and his
squad are pessimistic about
their chances.
"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.

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. Coach Sevigne said that
it would be a struggle for
Nebraska to get in the first
division in the Big 8 meet,
Nov. 10, at Boulder, Colo.

(Piggie) Meagher said the
defense was on a par with
last year's squad that led

fense. MORE SPEED
"We seem to be faster
than last year and every
one knows what their job
is," he added.
