Wednesday, September 20, 1967 Page 6 The Daily Nebraska n Extra Week Of Welcomed By By Mark Gordon Unlike most coaches who prefer a weekly game throughout the entire foot ball season, Husker Coach Bob Devaney isn't disap pointed about the two-week layoff before the Nebraska home opener against Min nesota's Gophers Sept. 30. Devaney was previously skeptical about the open date Saturday, but the Washington opener last weekend convinced the Husker boss that the team can benefit from the extra practice. "This week we're going to run daily practices and have some kind of a scrim mage Saturday morning," the nation's winningest coach explained Tuesday. ELIMINATE MISTAKES' "We will also re-evaluate some of the players who didn't get a chance to play much against Washington," he said, "and we'll spend some time polishing up both our offense and defense to eliminate mistakes that were made against Wash ington." Some mistakes might in clude the Huskers' three lost fumbles and the 72 yards Nebraska was penal ized against the Huskies. "The extra week might be all right as players' that have injuries get a chance to recover," Devaney ex plained. INJl RIES HURT While the Huskers fared well point-wise against Washington, injury - wise they weren't successful. Halfback Mick Ziegler was sidelined for the re mainder of the season with torn knee ligaments and other players received mi nor injuries ranging from swollen ankles to bruised backs. On the positive side, tack le Dan Delaney who didn't see action against the Husk ies was expected to rejoin his offensive mates this week. Devaney said he was un able to compare the Husk ies, who are expected to among the top AAWU title contenders, with other Big Eight teams. "We have no way to com pare them after a single game," the coach said. The win. which tied the Husker-Huskie series at one victory each, pleased De vaney in several ways. "I thought we did very well for an opening game performance." he said, "and they made fewer mis- Ziegler Lost Because Of Knee Injury Nebraska halfback Mick Ziegler. who sustained torn knee ligaments in the Hus ker opener against Wash ington Saturday, has been lost for the remainder of the season. Husker copch Bob Devaney confirmed Tues day. Without Ziegler, 5' 11" 18! pound junior, Devaney will have to malign his offensive backfjeld in preparation for the home opener aeainst Minnesota Scot. 30. Hp said Frank Vactor will hp pipvMtprl from rout ine duties to varsity status and that sophomore Mike Green will be tripd at both the rieht and left halfback positions. , Ziegler, a four sport let terman at Lincoln's Pius X, averaged 3.5 yards per carry in limited sophomore action on the 1966 Husker team.

FEWER MISTAKES Devaney said Nebraska probably didn't make as many mistakes Saturday as in previous Husker open ers. In five previous openers, the Huskers clobbered South Dakota 53-0 in 1962, squash ed South Dakota State 58-7 in 1963, bombed South Da kota 56-0 in 1964 and then scored consecutive opening victories over Texas Chris tian University, 34-14 in 1965 and 1966's 14-10 total. Devaney said next week's practice schedule would be altered somewhat because of the Minnesota season opener at Minneapolis Sat urdav against Utah. COACHES SCOUTING "We don't know much about them so we are going to spend most of our time this week working on our team plays until the scout ing comes in." the Husker boss said. He added that Jim Ross, Nebraska defensive end and 'i'i. .JY) I ess -. " -C's PREPARATION BEGINS ... for Minnesota home opener. j What Was j I That Score? o niiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiMDiiiiiiiiiiiiaKiiiiiiiiiniimiiiiiiiciiiiiiMiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiDiiiiiMh'; By Leg Hellbusch When Nebraska defeated Washington last Saturday, it marked the eighth straight year that NU has defeated its opponent in the season's opener. This record, of course, did not begin in the Devaney regime. It was Bill Jennings who last blotched an opener back in '59, the year Texas invaded Lincoln and blanked the Huskers 20-0. Although the Cornhuskers hardly had a powerhouse that year, they did turn in a 32-12 victory over Minnesota and a 1:5-21 triumph over an Oklahoma Sooner team that was considered one of the nation's perennial best. The Washington game "-as also the first time since law xnai an opening encounter was played on enemy soil. In that year, Nebraska edged Texas at Austin 14-13. None of the victories in this opening-game winning string, however, could be more encouraging to the Husker coaching staff than this impressive win over a solid Wash ington team last weekend. YOUNG CLUB SPIRITED Before last Saturday's game, coaches, sports writers and fans imost important, of course) were concerned over the youthful Husker squad. At times during the game, sophomorish troubles caused some difficulty in the Husker strategy. But it is this same youthfulness which showed more Husker spirit and quickness than has been displayed since the first Devaney "beef squads" appeared. Statistics back this up: Nebraska had only 72 yards in penalties, while Washington managed 75 punishment yards. Even more obvious than these not-very-vivid num bers was the smoothness of handoffs and timing in the backfieJd, a precision and snap easily seen in the stands. It appears that a br nd-new generation of Husker footballers will originate in the 1967 football season. TWO WEEK VACATION Coaches are generally dubious about the effects of layoffs during the regular season. The pre-season Husker workouts this year were labeled by many team members as some of the most grueling of their career. The rush is over now. The two-week layoff may be a welcome period of general conditioning, rehabilitation and preparation for a Minnesota team that predictably won't be a pushover. These two 'weeks will give our youthful Huskers an opportunity to build confidence and to consider that Ne braska is not only "Where the Wert Begins" (Hooray for Nebraska), but also where a football giant resides.

Although Nebraska didn't make exclusive use of their newly-installed I formation Saturday, Devaney said the Huskers plan to continue using it. "We plan to continue with it at present with no adjust ments, "he said. MORE COMPLETION'S "There isn't any single thing we are going to em phasize this week in prac tices," he concluded, but we are going to try to see if we can get a better percentage on pass completions." Big sophomore quarter back Frank Patrick com pleted nine of 24 passes for 92 yards, but he kept the Huskers rolling for a com bined 301 total offense. The 301 opening game to tal is just 17 yards behind the 1966 Huskers, who led the Big Eight in total offen sive with a weekly accumu lation of 318.8 yards. fp.1 Gamma Taa Kappa IMta F.piltoa rw Kam Pal TriaBtlr PI Kara rw ZHa KHa T.

Lincoln, Nebraska r """" Structure Will Hold 250-300 'Big-Time' By Charles Davies Nebraska's new $512,000 press box, which replaced a structure rated among the nation's worst press facili ties, should be completed before Nebraska's home opener with Minnesota, Sept. 30. Don Bryant, university sports information director, said Tuesday. The new Information Cen ter was financed in three ways, he said.

These donations account ed for 00,000 of the $512. 000. The Athletic Department accounted for the remaining funds. "The new press box will hold a few more people and with greater safety," Bry ant commented. "Around 250 to 300 will be able to fill the Information Center on the west side of the sta dium."
