Improved Big Eight Finish
By MARK GORDON
Sports Editor
Mel Campbell would like
nothing better than to lead
the University cross-country
team to the same prom
inence his high school
teams achieved.
During Campbell's junior
and senior years at Ains
worth High School, he guid
ed his team to Nebraska
Class B state champion
ships in 1964 and 1956.
While a junior, he placed
third in the state meet and
won the state champion
ship with a 10:09 clocking
over the two mile track in
1965 while a senior.
OUT OF CELLAR?
In 1966 he placed third
In the Class B state mile
competition, finishing out a
high -school career that won
him:iwo cross-country and
three track letters while at
Ainsworth.
NoW a sophomore runner
on coach Frank Sevigne's
University crew, Campbell
foresees a improvement in
Husker fortunes.
"We -have to do better
than - last year," he said,
"since we have almost an
entirely different team this
year."
Junior Don Bishoff is the
only returnee from last
year's cellar-dwelling Husk
er team.
Although no fresh
man meets were scheduled
last fall, Campbell woiked
out with the varsity team
and ran throughout the
year.
"Cros3 country isn't like
other sports." he said, "You
have to work out all year.
When you get done running
you run some more."
Campbell and his Nebras
ka teammates run one-to-two-hour
daily workouts ci
ther northwest of town, at
Pioneer Park or on the
football practice field. The
weekly workouts total al
most 70 miles of roadwork.

three mile meet distance.
They are always shorter or
longer distances.
"The shorter races build
pace while the longer ones
dev elope endurance,"
he said.
Although Campbell faces
his first varsity competi
tion Oct. 14 at Manhattan
against the Kansas State
Wildcats, he was unable to
predict his time.
15 MINUTE GOAL
"Time is rather irrele
vant because every cross
country c o u r s e is differ
ent," he said. "But I would
like to be under 15 min
utes." "Although the college
course is a mile longer than
the high school it doesn't
make a lot of difference,"
he said. "The runners are
more mature and they have
run more."
Campbell shouldn't feel
he is running with unfa
miliar faces on this year's
team.
The state's first and sec
ond place runners in the
state mile championships
are both on this year's first
freshman c r o s s country

Larry Kassebaum from
Hebron and Tom Housel,

Gridders Trade Pads
For Police Uniforms
By DAVE WALLNER
Instead of protecting their
territory on the football
field, seven members of Ne
braska's defending Big
Eight champs protected
Lincolnites this summer as
police officers.
Huskers' Dan Delaney,
Al Fierro, Ben Gregory,
Jim McCord, Harry (Pigg

and Ivan Zimmer partici

viding summer employment
for Nebraska athletes.
Annually, the Lincoln
Police Force is depleted by
summer vacations and hires
University athletes as
short-term replacements.
This project, headed by
Lincoln Police Captain
Dale Adams, was started
prior to World War II and
resumed after the War in
1947.
BETTER RELATIONS
Adams, a Husker fullback
in the late '40's, also par
ticipated in the program's
first stages.
"The system provides a
means of cementing a bet
ter relationship between
the University and the com
munity," Adams said.
"The boys have done a
commendable job in the
past years," he added, "and
I'm certain they leave the
force with a better under
standing of law enforce
ment, of people and, even
more important, of them
selves." GUNS, TOO

"People just don't know
all the things a policeman
has to do," halfback Ben
Gregory said. "We did so
many different jobs, from
fingerprinting stolen cars
to investigating suicides."
"My biggest problem was
that I'd never hardly
touched a gun before, and I
sure was glad I didn't have
to use it."
Defensive tackle Harry
Meagher said the experi
ence provided a variety of
cases and made him more
cognizent of a policeman's
duty.
DON'T LOOK DOWN
"I wish that every citi
zen had a chance to do the
same job and then people
might not look down their
noses so often at police
men," he said.
The seven Huskers
worked full time and re
ceived a beginning patrol
man's salary. Each teamed
up with another officer on
cruiser or detective duty
with some working nights,
while others primarily
worked days.
"There was an armed
robbery at the Holiday
Inn and I was assigned to
a roadblock on Cornhusker
Highway," said quarterback
Al Fierro. "I was scared
to death because I was al

to stick a gun out of a car
window."
