It is difficult to remember, during the clamors of a
successful football season, that another sport could actual
ly be organized.
Unnoticed, but well-attended, Coach John Reta began
putting his swimming team through regular workouts
Monday. ,
Rebounding from a sixth place finish in the Big Eight
meet last year, Rota's fishmen have not earned the ac
colades of fans as have some other teams on campus.
Not benefitting from grant-in-aids as do major sports,
swimming is left to the recruiting and determination of
one man . . . that loly coach.
EIGHT STRAIGHT TITLES
That Reta will be a successful coach can be statis
tically seen in two facts: As a Lincoln Southeast coach
until 'last year, Reta recorded state championship swim
ming teams eight years in a row.
His recruiting ability is obvious, since there are more
men on his frosh squad than on his entire varsity. More
important Reta realizes the training requirements of
a successful swimmer and is able to instill in his charges
the desire to fulfill these needs.
BUTTERFLY ANYONE?
Coach Reta realizes that building a stronger team
will not be easy. But with better balance this year, Reta
believes that with a continuing good attitude and hard
work, the NU swimmers can be as good as they want.
W eak spots in his dvnasty this year appear to be the
butterfly and the individual medley. Graduating three
swimmers of noteworthy caliber last year, the tank
squad will be loaded with youth.
HELLO, SWIMMERS
Individuals from whom Reta expects good perfor
mances include: Rich Gordon, senior free-style sprinter;
Tom Mook junior distance man; Walter Brzezinski jun-
nior backstroker and Steve
Sorensen. senior diver.

pool time.
A tankman's typical day includes weightlifting, calis
thenics, warmup, 400 yard sprints, 200 yard sprints, kicks,
pulls, timed distances, sprints, warmdown . . . off! And
to tip it all off: Two-a-day workouts ensue during Christ
mas vacation.

the Husker safety said, "if
studying means much."
"Actually I feel it's up to
the individual on how much
time he wants to put into
studying." he added.

Classy Wildcat Passing
Threatens Black Shirts
By Mark Gordon
Sports Editor
When Nebraska's Corn
huskers open the Big Right
season Saturday against the
revived Kansas State Wild
cats at Manhattan, the Hus
kers will be meeting one of
the league's finest passing
teams, both offensively and
defensively.
K-State's effective pass
ing game and their opening
17-7 victory over Colorado
State have caused Nebras
ka coach Bob Devaney
more concern than preivous
Wildcat teams which have
never defeated a Devaney
coached Nebraska squad.
"By far this will be the
best Kansas State team we
have faced," Devaney said
of Saturday's foe. They
have more personnel than
any other Kansas State
team we have played."
Devaney also said that
earned letters in football,
basketball, track and gym
nastics at Benson.
Studying and playing
football, doesn't require all
his time while in Lincoln.
He also works with proba
tionary .youths for Uni-Linc,
an organization resembling
the Big Brother program.
Reeves also joins with
other college and profes
sional athletes in the Fel
lowship of Christian A t h
letes Reeves was elected presi
dent of Phi Eta Sigma, a
freshman schlastic honor
ary society, last May and
he said he would devote ad
ditional time to the organi
zation as soon as the foot
ball season ends.
The next time, someone
says that grades, charity
work and football don't mix,
think of Randy Reeves.

the Wildcat crew would be
"the best team we have
played this year."
The Wildcats are leading
the league in passing of
fense with a 164.5 yard a
erage per game while ai
cumulating 329 passing
yards.
K-State's quarterback
Bill Nossek Is the Big
Eight's leading passer with
a sparkling .543 completion
mark , although he has
thrown three interceptions
Wildcats first two contests.
Nossek's favorite target
so far has been flankerback
Dave Jones, who set a Wild
cat passing receiving re
cord against Nebraska in
1966 with 188 vards.
TOP RECEIVING
Jones is leading the Big
Eight in both p a i s e s
caught with nine receptions
and in total yards with 131
yards.
Right behind Jones is
tight end Art Strozier, a se
nior 6'2" 205 pound receiv
er. Strozier is second in pass
receptions with eight grabs
and second in total yards
with 127.
The Wildcats not only
leading offensively they also
lead the seven other confer
ence foes defensively, hav
ing allowed only 73 passing
yards per game thus far.
DIFFERENT STORY
Rushing, however has
been a different story as the
Wildcats find themselves at
the bottom of the pack in
both departments.
The K-State rushing at
tack has clicked for a mere
61 yards per game put-out
while the opposition has
rushed for !92 yards
against the Wildcats.
The Wildcats dropped a
15-3 decision to Virginia
Tech last Saturday while
Nebraska defeated Minne
sota's Gophers 7-0 in the
Memorial Stadium opener.

against Minnesota," Devan
ey said.
FUMBLES HURT
"Defensively, we held
Minnesota scoreless which
was real good, and offen
sively we had a 94-yard
drive which was also good,"
the coach said in pointing
out the bright spots from
the Huskers second victory
of the young campaign.
However, all is not roses
in the Husker circle as De
vaney said Nebraska was
not able to capitalize on sev
eral scoring opportunitie as
four last fumbles proved
costiy.
"We're just trying to keep
from fumbling," he said.
"Three of the fumbles were
from tackles while one was
due to poor ball handling."
BEST BACK
Although there were no
serious injuries from the
bruising Gopher struggle,
Devaney said that end Den
nis Morrison hurt his arm
but "he should be ready to
play Saturday."
Devaney also reported
that defensive left safty
man Bob Best, who injured
an ankle in a scrimmage
two weeks ago, has been
working out with the squad.
Devaney said he foresees
no offensive changes, al
though he might possibly
start Harry (Piggie) Meagh
er at left defensive tackle
replacing Jerry Patton.
'PEPPED UP'
Devaney said that with
players like Jones, captain

named Big tight Lineman

from a "team that could
have, and almost did beat
us last year in Lincoln."
"They'll be ail pepped
up, so we will have to .ea
dy for a maximum effort."
In last year's Nebraska
homecoming tilt, the Hus
kers jumped in front 14-0 at
the half, then battled for
their lives as the Wildcats
made a determined effort
to spoil the Lincoln festivi
ties. They pulled within 14-10
in the fourth quarter before
Nebraska scored the game
winning touchdown on Ben
Gregory's four-yard run,
and Larry Wacholtz boot
ed an insurance extra point.
The Wildcats also scored
a 25-yard total offense edge
over the Huskers, 296-271,
becoming only the second
team that outgained Ne
braska in 1966. Colorado
was the other Husker foe
outgaining them.

Slows Husker Fans
What problems occur
when 65,000 people jam
themselves towards one ob
jective. Memorial Stadium
on Saturday afternoons?
Many!
Captain. E. H. Masters of
University Police Depart
ment reports there are two
main traffic and walking
problems facing him now.
The first problem con
cerns the shortage of park
ing space for buses bringing
people into the games.
"Right n o w the out-of-town
buses are using T St.
from 10th to 12th St. for
parking," Captain Masters
said.
NEED ROOM
"We need more room, es
pecially when city line
buses from clubs, clog up
space," he added.
The second problem in
volves the new chemistry
building construction. Cap
tain Masters said, "the peo
ple cannot use the sidewalk
on the east and west side
of 12th St. due to this con
struction." "This causes everybody to
crowd in the street on T St.
along with the buses." he
added.
"Our entire force of 17 is
out to cover the game," the
captain reported.
Captain Masters empha
sized that all university lots
are open to students on foot
ball Saturdays except those
west of 10 St!
OTHER LOTS
"Many students have com
plained of getting tickets in
these lots (west of 10th) on
game day s," he said.
"There is plenty of room in
the other parking lots."
Lt. Smith of the Lincoln
Police Department's traffic
division, expressed another
problem, parking.
"X o t finding parking
spaces causes the main bot
tlenecks." Lt. S m i t h re -ported,
"Filling up these
parking lots takes time and
slows down traffic."
"We always experience
more problems the first
game," he said. "People
come here for the first time
and they don't know where
to go."
Lt. Smith also added that
the construction work on
14th and Vine Streets,
east of 27th were causing
difficulties.

on the other streets such as
Holdrege," he explained.
"I would rather see peo
ple come to the game and
park earlier," he said, "A
lot of people didn't get to
the game on time because
of this traffic congestion."
Lt. Leitner, one of the of
ficers in charge of the stad
ium crowd, said there are
always a few problems in
the stadium proper, such as
intoxicated fans, heat ex
haustion and heart attacks.
"Other minor crowd diffi
culties are people sitting on
the rails and flag poles and
keeping excited fans off the
track and field area," he
added.
ORDERLY CROWD
Lt. Leitner also mentioned
the crowd traffic in and out
of the stadium last Saturday
for the Minnesota Gopher
contest was "very orderly."
"The West Stadium took
only 15 minutes to empty,"
he said in noting that there
were 65.361 fans, an all
time Memorial Stadium at
tendance record, who
watched the season's first
Lincoln match.
Both Lt. Smith and Leit
ner have approximately 70
officers from the Lincoln po
lice force working on Ne
