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

team plays until the scout

boss said.

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.

a structure rated among the
nation's worst press facili

sports information director,
said Tuesday.
The new Information Cen

Persons who donated
funds are entitled to four
tickets in the guest section
or section 300 on the second
level for at least ten vears.
$400,000 IN DONATIONS
Secondly, donations were
contributed by people who
were sV.o i four tickets in
section 200, formerly occu
pied by the old press box.
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." HEALTH HAZARD
