Nebraska's battling Huskers shoved the words spirit
less and over-rated down their critic's mouths Saturday
against Colorado.
Although Colorado didn't seem quite as strong as
their number three national ranking might indicate, Ne
braska pushed the favored Buffalos around Memorial Sta
dium for 402 total yards in dropping a 21-16 wide open
match.
We aren't pouting because we have picked Nebraska
the previous two weeks and have fallen with them.
We felt with determined efforts they could have de
feated both Colorado and Kansas. But the breaks weren't
with them.
Quoting the Omaha World-Herald: "You can't lose the
entire interior offensive line, lack an experienced quarter
back, fail to have depth, and then expect to be an A-l
team.
Granted, this team doesn't have the all-around ability
the four previous Big Eight titlists owned, but this year's
crew owns something that has been lacking the last
few seasons it's called SPIRIT.
From the end of the bench to the eleven starters to
the top of the west stadium, Saturday's effort was one
of the most spirited and aggressive jobs turned in at
Memorial Stadium in at least the last two seasons.
While we appreciated the wins turned in by past Hus
ker teams, we applaud the hustle displayed not only
against Cilorado but against the four previous teams in
the first half of the season.
If thafs what dissenters call spiritless and over-rated,
let's hope the Huskers continue with that style and let
the sourpusses eat their words when Nebraska finishes
8-2.
BAND SEATS
Saturday's game was great. One band member even
remarked to us that he saw a few plays of the contest
Saturday.
It's too bad the organization which probably does
more to promote Nebraska spirit at the football games
by working hard all week and is deprived of an oppor
tunity to watch the game.
The Cornhusker Marching Band is seated on the
warning track right behind the Husker bench on the East
Stadium and when players stand up, as they usually do,
viewing the game is impossible.
Other stadiums provide special sections near the
cheering sections such as Nebraska's Corn Cobs and Tas
sels. Athletic ticket manager Jim Pittenger has told band
members economic factors prevent the athletic depart
ment from seating the 180 members in seats which could
either be sold to students for 910 or the general public
for much more.
Why not charge band members the regular student
ticket price of $10 and provide them with decent seats
at the games. Most members wouldn't object to paying
the same fee as other students if they could see the games
say from the same 50-yard-line location the Nebraska
spirit group does.
FROSH PREVIEW
Nebraska's freshman team opened theif first cam
paign under coach Cletus Fischer with a 24-0 blanking
of Kansas State.
The freshman have posted an identical 3-1 record the
past two years, losing both times in one-point verdicts to
the Missouri Tigers.
The Tigers, who have been off and on in their first
two games, meet Nebraska at Columbia Friday after
soon. The young Tigers, rushed for 250 yards in beating
K-State, but were bombed 40-7 last Friday by an Iowa
State team that appears to be the standout of the con
ference this season.
Assuming the Huskers evade Missouri, the Cyclones
should provide Nebraska with its stiffest test of the sea
son in the lone Memorial Stadium freshman showing Nov.
3, the day before their elders square off at Band Day
against Iowa State.

braska's t w i c e-defeated
Huskers Saturday at Ft.
Worth.
The Horned Frogs, while
trying to win their first
match of the campaign,
will also attempt to win the
first Husker-l'CU meeting
in the Texas stadium.
In three previous games,
coach Fred Taylor's Pur
ple and White eleven has
fallen 28-7 to Nebraska in
1951 and has dropped 1965's
contest 34-14.
They lost last year 14-10
in Lincoln on Charlie Win
ter's six-yard run and a 10
yard perfectly executed
pass play from Bob Chur
chich to Dennis Morrison. "
, NOT BLESSED
The Frogs haven't been
blessed with much luck
this year, although they
have ben set back by in
opportune breaks.
TCU has dropped two
non-conference games and
the same number of South
west Conference games.

They lost to the Big Ten's

ference games to Arkansas

Husker coach Bob Devan
ey, who has seen Nebraska
lose two straight matches
for the first time since
coming to Lincoln, feels
tht TCU "is a good team
that has been having breaks
go acainst them."
"TCU has had bad luck
this season, things like a
100-yard-kickoff return," he
said, "It's worth noting that
teams seem to have a
change of luck when they
play us this year."
SORE THUMB
The Horned Frogs will
resemble the red-trimmed
Nebraskans Saturday as
they will probably fling a
sophomore quarterback at
the Huskers.

was voted the Southwest

back, is expected to start,

As lowans Shut Out Huskers
Confusing highway inter
changes, a 200-mile car trip
and strong gusty winds
contributed heavily to t h e
University Soccer Club's
first loss of the season Sun
day 4-0 to Des Moines in
Iowa's Capital City.
The local crew, which suf
fered their first setback af
ter four consecutive wins,
will have a rematch against
the lowans at 2 p.m. Sunday
Patrick, Richnafsky Ahead . . .
Huskers:
Nebraska may not be
leading the Big Eight in
won-Iost column, but the
Huskers both as a team and
individually lead the confer
ence in the latest statistics
released Wednesday.
Quarterback Frank Pat
rick, who guided Nebraska
to 402 total yards in a losing
cause against the nation's
third-rated Colorado Buffs,
is the conference's top pass
er, hitting 63 of 124 tosses
for 738 net yards and two
touchdowns.
Patrick is also second in
total offense with 751 yards

Husker athletes have the advantage of eating on the
"training table."
The lunch lines there are shorter than regular dorms,
there is more and better (debatable) food and there is
always plenty of orange juice, lemonade, tea, or milk for
the athletes to chug.
Conversation runs the gamut of all sports with a free
dom which would make sports writers grab for their
pencils. It is here that the real feelings of the players
come out.
FUMBLE! FUMBLE!
On one recent occasion, an illustrious member of
NU's offensive backfield typically loaded his tray with
the goodies of the lunch line. As an encore, he added a
final glass of milk, squeezing it into a comer of the
cluttered tray.
Suddenly, the silence of the plush dining hall was
broken. The back had spilled his milk, the milk dripped
to the carpeted floor and the rolling glass set up a chain
reaction of clanging dishes on his tray.
Quick to react, another Husker shifted direction and
stuttered. "Fumble! Fumble!
NEW PLAY
Reportedly, a new play has been added to the Husker
offense. It has not been diagrammed on any of Devaney's
play books, but enemy scouts have been quick to recognize
its regularity and devastation. Supposedly, Texas Chris
tian University scouts call it the fumble-right option on
two.
THIRD IN NATION
Consider this: In Nebraska's two losses so far, what
if there had been one less fumble, one less intercepted
pass, if one end-of-the-half play had worked our way in
stead of the opponents
Result? NU would probably be rated third in the na
tion right now.
Colorado coach Eddie Crowder summed it by saying
that this year's Nebraska squad was just as potent as
past NU teams, but lacking only a degree of precision.
Halfback Ben Gregory commented that NU was a bet
ter team than Colorado last Saturday. Thi6 writer dis
agrees. NU could be a better team than Colorado when
ever they make use of all their crushing talents, or when
ever they avoid mistakes that don't have to occur.
The Huskers could finish 8-2 for the season and beat
Alabama (other teams do it) in the Sugar BowL Go Big
Red with greedy hands!

Moines was the best defen
sive crew the team has
faced this fall.
He said even when the lo
cal squad broke through
their defense, "they were
quick to close the gap and
they tackled us very hard."
He said the wind was a
big factor since soccer
teams play a defensive
game when driving against
the breeze and with the
wind, they employ an offen
sive setup.
Rickard cited goalie Bob
McMann, a Massachusetts
product, for playing a
strong game and said Chris
Mwakulomba, a defensive
left halfback from Kenya,
looked good on defense.
He added that defensive
halfback Greg Brown, a for
mer all-state high school
soccer standout from Rhode
Island, performed well
against the lowans.
He said that the local
club is fired up after losing
their first game and is de
termined to avenge Sun
day's loss at home this
weekend.
"This time they're going
to have to drive the 400
miles and we're going to
start out fresh," Rickard
said.
