It was the day of the pig a 21 pound pig from
Steubenville, Ohio, who stole a football and preserved a
Husker win.
With time running out in the first half in Saturday's
Nebraska-Washington opener, the Huskies were trailing
by a slim seven points and moving after a 19 yard-run
by halfback Gerald Wea.
Huskie quarterback Tom Sparlin faded back and
threw a pass. Tackle Harry (Figgie) Meagher picked
it off as the Huskers stopped a potential Washington
drive and started their own.
Seven plays later, Nebraska kicker Bill Bomberger
booted a 20 yard field goal moving the Huskers into a
ten-point -lead as Nebraska won their season's opener 17-7
at Seattle.;..
"I was rushing the passer who was going on a roll
out," the senior defensive tackle said. The halfback (Wea)
broke short over the line."
"Barry (linebacker Alvarez) was covering him. The
passer threw the ball and as I turned to go after him,
Barry hit the ball and it bounced to me," Pig said of his
interception which set up a three point play.
That break was one of the two that handed the
Huskers ten points. The other occurred late in the first
quarter setting up the Huskers first touchdown of the sea
son. A Dana Stephenson punt was fumbled by Frank
Smith and Husker Glenn Patterson recovered after a
jarring tackle by end Dennis Richnafsky caused the
bobble.
Eight attempts later, fullback Dick Davis drove over
the right side for six points.
"He caught the punt and started running away
from me," Richnafsky said afterwards. "Then he changed
his mind and came straight towards me."
It wasn't all lucky bounces and breaks that produced
Coach Bob Dcvaney's six straight opening victory since
coming to Nebraska's helm in 1962.
Guided by sophomore quarterback Frank Patrick,
who completed nine of 24 passes for 92 yards Nebraska
picked up a 301 yards total offense compared to the
Huskies' 189.
Although the Huskers moved the ball well, all is
not joyous after the opening triumph.
Halfback Mick Ziegler, who was counted on heavily
by Nebraska coaches this year, may be lost for the sea
son following a knee injury. Sophomore halfback Joe
Orduna. who picked up 60 yards for a 4.6 average, was
hospitalized Saturday night in Student Health for precau
tionary measures after he was shaken up by a blow
in the face.
The Huskers also fumbled the ball away three times
and were penalized 72 yards mistakes that must be
eliminated before the Lincoln opener Sept. 30 against the
Minnesota Gophers.
While the mistakes hurt several drives and inexperi
ence destroyed other marches, team members praised the
offense and feel that this Cornhusker crew had displayed
more spirit than previous teams.
"There was more spirit the guys went after it
better," said linebacker Barry Alvarez, who was credi
ted with three unassisted tackles and five assists.
"The offense controlled the ball and made it easier
for the defense," he added.
"The offense is starting to come into its own," ex
explained senior offensive tackle Bob Taucher, "We went
out there with the idea that we had the advantage be
cause we knew the starting count and knew where to
go." . ....
Fans who were worried about the sophomore defen
ders failing to stop opposing receivers got a boost Sat
urday when the young defenders rose to the occasion.
They halted Huskie receivers with five receptions for
only 69 yards and intercepted two passes, one a spectacu
lar 55 yard runback by Lincolnite Dana Stephenson, who
also took punting chores.
The Huskers, through a rare schedule quirk, find
themselves with a two-week layoff until the Centennial
Game against Minnesota.
They undoubtedly will use that span to sharpen their
offense and give the injured a chance to recover after
the Huskies displayed hard hitting which banged up
many Nebraskans.
Minnesota meets Utah at Minneapolis Saturday to open
their non-conference schedule. The Gophers last played
the Huskers in the Twin Cities in 1964 and barely dropped
a 26-21 decision, so Nebraska coaches realize the Big Ten
Northerners are seeking revenge.

u An area accommodating
approximately eight flag

said this weekend.
"We should be ready to

learning the Lincoln Parks
Department will temporar

on city-owned property un
til permanent locations are
obtained.
Meier called the location,
near the new Woods Swim

"not idealistic."
"It's a rather rough area
with some stones, but grass
grows there," he said. "At
least it's a start and it is
definitely better than noth

The Husker signal caller
gave particular praise to

"The offensive line really

"They did a great job."
'NO PROBLEM'
Patrick said that de
fensive tackle Steve
Thompson, a pre-season-All-American,
didn't pose a
great problem. "I didn't
see him all day," he said.
Patrick felt that Dennis

Meier added that all team
entries must be turned into
room 102 Men's Physical
Education Building by 5
p.m. Monday so work can
begin on scheduling.
Meier earlier said that
unless additional fields oth
er than the three for football
were found, the intramural
football program would be
cancelled this fall.
Besides adding 15 foot
ball teams to increase
scheduling difficulties this
fall, the department also
lost six football fields with
the construction of the
Women's Physical Educa

"While it's not the best
playing field, we are
pleased to find it so that
we can hold football games

Huskie defenders stop Nebraska
much better game than
theirs," Patrick com
mented. He said that Washington's
defense, which the Husk
ers penetrated for 301 total
yards, was acclaimed as
one of the nation's finest.
WILL TO WIN
The giant Pennsylvanian
said the whole team gave
100 per cent.
"The players wanted to
win and they did," he ex
plained, "Everybody went
out and did their job."
Patrick also mentioned
that the pre-game plan was
followed the entire game.
TURNING POINTS
He said that the turning
points were "when we
scored the second touch
down and when Washington
was unable to score after
a drive in the third quar

Records Broken
Saturday's estimated 57,
000 fans who watched Ne
braska defeat Washington
17-7 at Seattle, was a larger
road crowd than any 1966
Husker road attendance.
The top 1966 road total
was against Wisconsin's
Badgers at Madison when
52,428 saw the Huskers
pound the Badgers 31-3.

Patrick added that Wash-'
ington was predicted to be
the Husker's toughest game
until Nebraska meets t h e'
Colorado Buffaloes in Lin
coln Oct. 21. -
Patrick said that Ne
braska's inability to score
in the second half after
scoring 17 points in the sec
ond quarter was due to
penalties, injuries to key
backfield men and fumbles
which stalled long marches.
NEXT GAME
The big sophomore, who
completed almost 50 per
cent of his passes during an
outstanding freshman sea
son, said that he is looking
forward to the Huskers
next game the Lincoln
opener against-the Minne- -sota
Gophers Sept. 30.

apre-dent student in Arts
