Alabama, which has not been upset since Georgia triumphed 18-17 in the 1965 opener, has scored 1 7 straight wins, including two bowl victories over the Huskers. The modern-day record was set by Bud Wilkinson's 1953-57 Oklahoma Sooner crews, which amassed 45 consecutive wins before No tre Dame ended it with a 7-0 upset. , The second-longest mod ern streak was Arkansas' 22 wins which was finally ended by a 14-7, 1966 Cotton Bowl defeat by Louisiana State: ' Following Arkansas, 22 wins are 19 apiece by Ala bama in 1961-62 and LSU in 1957-59. Tne Tide is currently ranked second in this week's Associated Press poll following Notre Dame. STABLER REINSTATED Ken Stabler, the quarter back who was recently rein stated after Bryant sus pended him for alleged training violations, will lead the Tide against Flor ida State Saturday at Bir mingham. The Tide will remain in Alabama the next two Sat urdays meeting Southern Mississippi and Mississippi before traveling to battle Vanderbilt and returning to Birmingham to face Ten nessee in what could be 'Bama's 22nd straight tri umph. Assuming they eliminate those five crews, Alabama will meet Clemson with a chance to break Arkansas' record. From scouting reports, the Tide appears to have as much if not more speed and quickness than last year's Sugar Bowl champs and they may continue unbeat en this season if everything jells. " THBEE-FOR-THREE While Alabama rolls along, so does this column's Big Eight predictions. We have a three-game streak going after hitting on all games last week excluding Oklahoma State's scoreless Frosh Football Hopefuls Get Praise For Progress By Charles Davies "Right now we are find ing out who can play de fense and who can play offense." said freshman football coach Cletus Fisch er, whose Husker yearlings Lave undergone two weeks of practice. He said the freshmen have been working at both offen sive and defense positions to determine where they can produce best. Fischer, beginning h i s first year as freshman coach, said that at the end of the week the players will be assigned to either the of fensive or defensive pla toon for Nebraska's opener against the Kansas State Wildcats at Manhatten Oct. 20. RECEIVERS PRAISED Fischer said his tea.:; has displayed "quite a bit of progress and the spirit has been real good." He added that the fresh men held a short scrimm- Conihusker Eswlers To Try Out Bowlers may register un til 10 a.m. Saturday for a roll-off position on Nebras ka's Big Eight bowling team at the Nebraska Union games desk.

Texas Tech over Iowa State: Clay Stapleton isn't bowing out as head coach, in the Cyclone's most suc cessful season. Iowa State was soundly trounced by South Carolina last week and the boys from Lub bock, Tex., are out to im press an, opening night crowd. Colorado over Oregon: Oregon lost to California by eight points a week ago while the Buffaloes clubbed Baylor by 20 points. With or without W i 1 m e r Cooks, a punishing runner, Bob An derson, who seems to have replaced Dan Kelly at quar terback, will defeat the Ducks at Portland in a re gionallytelevised match. Colorado State over Kan sas State: The Rams were 7-3 a year ago, including a 34-0 blasting of Iowa State, and they return 26 letter men. Even with 196S Big Eight rushing leader Cor nelius Davis, the Wildcats won't score their first win for new coach Vince Gibson. Arkansas Over Oklahoma State: The Cowboys were ineffective offensively in the scoreless tie with Air Force and will find even more trouble scoring against the potent Arkansas crew at Little Rock. Stanford over Kansas: Kansas may have a new coach, Pepper Rodgers, some new faces and All-Big Eight defensive linebacker Mike Sweatman, but basi cally it is the same Jay hawk crew that has only won four games over the past two seasons. Southern Methodist over Missouri: A real toughie. Both teams appear strong and an opening crowd rec ord of 51.000 is expected to witness the battle at Co lumbia. Missouri has a po tential All-American in 275 pound offensive tackle Russ Washington and SMU, which defeated Texas A&M 20-17 last week has Jerry Levias, a wingback who was named College Back of the Week by the AP this week. Oklahoma over Washing ton State: The Sooners open at Norman and appear to have the nod over WSU. QB Bob Warmack has Ed die Hinton at halfback and kicker Mike Vachon, who booted four points to upset the Huskers last Thanksgiv ing. age last Saturday and will have another scrimmage against the varsity Satur day to determine their team positions. Fischer singled out Guy Ingles, a 5' 9" 150 pound back from Omaha and Fred Hollstein, a 6 180-pounder from Rushville. for doing an outstanding job of catch ing the football in last week's scrimmage. The offensive backs and line also "did a good job on the whole." Fischer added. TWO SIDELINED Looking towards the neg ative side, Fischer said that injuries might sideline two of his men for the remain der of the season. mm 432 1465 13th 4 P Street From rehearsal hall to perfection to performance ijtur . eaimt BMIMl US a ill PIUS THIS ttAUnrUl I MCM KCW IH61AMB TO HAYAH ...

The 6'-239-pound Nebras ka middle guard has been named College Lineman of the Week by the Associated Press after earlier being picked as the Big Eight's Lineman of the Week. Meylan. who was credited with 13 unassisted tackles against the Washington Hus kies Saturday, was instru mental in keeping the Hus kies to seven points. Coach Bob Devaney agreed completely with the choice of the Bay City, Mich., native. "Not only is he the best defensive lineman I've ever coached, but right now he is the best middle guard in the United States." Nebras ka's football boss said. Quarterback David Boyd, from Wichita. Kan., will definitely be out of the sea son, while Marlin Terwillig er may possibly be out for this season. Kansas State, which bowed to '.he Husker fresh men 40-13 at Lincoln last year, has possibly the finest team ever. Fischer sur mised. The Wildcat yearlings scrimmaged against the Wildcat varsity last Satur day and the frosh were re ported to have .done well asrainst them, Fischer add ed. "Harrison Russell, an Omaha Tech graduate, also looked good," the coach said. 2m Lit NEXT WED. I TK15R1 1 P M. $1.501 P M. $2.50 TICKETS NOW ON SALE .

Meylan isn't resting on past accomplishments, as he tries to lead the Huskers to their fifth straight Big Eight title. "Last year is in the past." the aggressive tackier said.

Meylan also gained rec ognition in 1966 as a junior after possibly becoming the nation's top scoring interior lineman after blocking three punts and recovering two of them for touchdowns against Wisconsin and Kan sas State. Meylan. named Big Eight Player of the Year in 1966 by the United Press Inter national, led a defense that set a school rushing de fense record. 2ND H.'T BLOOD & BLACX LACE" I? 432-6525 orchestra rmivo ay aukc naynuui. r 1 V WVUA 434-7421 54th & 0 The story of Zhivago a man torn between his love for his wife and the passionate and tender Lara... told against the flaming background of revolution.
