Kans. than most Ne braska football fans would care to admit. Going into the Oct. 14 battle at Lawrence, the Jay hawks had lost their first three games and were predicted by many to be heading into their worst licking of the season from the brutal Huskers. It seemed likely Kansas had lost 30-15 the week before to unheralded Ohio University squad. KANSAS UPSET But Kansas upset Nebraska lo-o and showed the foot ball world that past records are meaningless each Satur day. Texas Christian University has lost its first four contests, including last week's match as Texas A&M blanked them 20-0 and Horned Frog backers say Satur day's Nebraska game will be the Forgs worst loss of the season. Does this forecast another Kansas-Nebraska final score? score? There are certain differences, however. DIFFERENCE TCU doesn't have a proficient quarterback such as Jayhawk Bob Douglass, who is currently the Big Eight's leading total offense gainer and second-leading passer. TCU has no transplatned Nebraskans such as Orville Turgeon. a defensive middle guard from Valentine, who played outstanding against the school that rejected him. TClTs defensive ends aren't the towering giants that so effectively throttled Nebraska's rushing game. THIRD DOWN Unlike Kansas, the Frogs can't call on speedy Don Shanklin to pull them out of a tough third down situation. TCU does have a sophomore quarterback Dan Carter who has shown fair ability at times, a good end in Bill Ferguson and a fairly efficient runner in Ross Montgom ery, but their defense has not sparkled thus far. . In four games, opponents have been consistently aver aging 23 points. WAY UP Nebraska is on the way back, if they had been play ing any team but the nation's third-rated Colorado Bufls, they would have won last week. The Husker offense blasted the westerners for a sea sonal high of 402 total yards last week and if they can average even 75 per cent of that total Saturday they will defeat the Texans. With a spirited attack and the solid defnese that has characterized Nebraska football all season long, Nebraska will defeat TCU for their fourth victory Saturday and move the Frog's losing streak to five games. PREDICTIONS After suffering' mediocre 50 per cent prediction totals the past two weeks, we will attempt Saturday's schedule: Kansas over Iowa State: Is Kansas for real? The Jayhawks followed their Nebraska upset with an impres sive 26-15 victory over a strong Oklahoma State crew. Bob Douglass, a spunky quarterback, is the league's top total offense gainer and the conference's second leading passer. Kansas should roll to their third straight win by dumping an improving Iowa State squad. Arkansas ever Kansas State: The Razorbacks have beaten TCU for their only victory this season, but they came back strong against the Texas Longhorns last week end, losing onlv 21-12. K-Stete has sagged since almost up setting Nebraska three weeks ago. dropping rather lop sided games to Iowa State and Oklahoma. Vince Gibson s crew is 1-4 and should be 1-5 after Saturday's invasion into Little Rock. Colorado over Oklahoma State: The Cowboys upset Colorado 11-10 last year and will pay for that game in Boulder's Homecoming match. The Buffs are eager to im press forecasters and maintain their third place national rating and will hand Phil Cutchin's Cowboys their second league defeat Oklahoma ovi Missouri: The Sooners are rolling at such a high clip they may surprise everyone by winning the Big Eight crown. Don't bet against them. Chuck Fair banks crew blasted K-State 46-7 last week and they have allowed only 16 points in four games, a phenominal de fensive record against some high-scoring elevens. Missouri is tough and will put up a battle but when the sun sets at Columbia Saturday afternoon, the Tigers will be all but eliminated from title competition with their second loss. While you must fret about finding only one seat for Ne braska football games, ath letic ticket manager J i m Pittenger must worry about seating 65.000 fans at Me morial Stadium each home game. "Normally we have a staff of five people for the sale of 63.000 plus tickets for the football games, the biggest selling operation of University sports," Pitten ger said. "This staff can run as high as 10 to 12 for special games," he added. There are 30,000 season ticket holders, 15,000 stu dent ticket holders, and 5,- 9MiiHMiuiMiiiintinnMiiiHMiMiMHiinitiiiii!iiiniiuniniiiMiiiniimiiiiiniHiHiituiiiiiiiiiiiiniiHiitiiiii(c I F. A. C. I Three NU Teams Travel Out Of State On Friday By ED ICENOGLE As this Friday Afternoon Column approached, stalk ing its writer while he clutched, the deadline neared aha, it became ap parent that weekly cy nicism can run dry. Then it happened. The censure against the stal wart of stalwarts the University of Nebraska football program. But how can this be? It is like censuring the Daily Ne-. braskan for its rare typo graphical errors. Both are equally undeserved. The NCAA saying that there have been non-interest loans is as inaccurate as saying that some players are just incidentally driving new cars at the expense of the athletic department. Or that some football players pass courses in the same way as they pass the pigskin: with their football skills. Or that there are numer ous little ways of getting wages to football players. . . like providing the players with money to entertain prospective prep stars, and then not checking up on the players when they pocket all or part of the funds. And there should be no objection from the Univer sity students even if such things did exist. The hun dreds of thousands of dol lars brought in by the foot ball games cover any above mentioned expense. This self-s ufficiency would eliminate any inter nal objection, right? Wrong. The price of big football goes beyond the cost of sup porting a team, according to arguments in a national student magazine. Modera tor. "In the "205, the Carne gie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching stated that "college athle tics can breed and. in fact, have bred among athletes, coaches, directors, and even in some instances among administrative officers, eq- Tickels Limited It's a traveling weekend for three University teams with only the University Soccer club scheduled to play in Lincoln. While the varsity football ers have a non-conference meeting Saturday with Tex as Christian University in Ft. Worth, the freshman gridmen travel to Columbia to meet the Missouri Tigers Friday afternoon. Husker coach Cletus Fischer's youngsters will aim for their second con secutive t r umph after blanking the Kansas State Wildcat yearlings 24-0 last week in Kansas. Missouri holds an even won-lost slate after beating S-State 12-7 and taking a 40 7 pounding from an aggrex sive Iowa State freshmen crew last week. FIRST WIN Coach Frank Sevigne will also take his cross-country squad to Columbia for a Saturday engagement with the Tiger cindermen. hop ing for the season's first win. The local squad has bowed to defending confer ence king K-State and lost last week's Lincoln triangu lar to Colorado and the Air Force Academy. REVENGE MATCH The Univers ty Soc cer Club will have a return match with the Is Moines Soccer Club that handed the local crew their firnl loss of the season last weekend Sunday at 2 p.m at the Lin coln Job Corps Field at the former Air Base Des Moines blanked the squad 4-0 in Des Moines ending a four match win ning streak. A limited supply of 1,500 $5 student tickets, for the Nebraska-Missouri football game Nov. 18, will be on sale outside the Coliseum Ticket Office next Monday through Wednesday from 9-12 a.m. and 1-4 p.m. Each full time student may apply for one ticket in person with an Id card and leave his check with his ticket application. Those students desiring to sit in a group must appear together. If there are more than 1.500 orders received, a drawing will be heid. Students may pick up their tickets at the Coliseum Ticket Office between Nov. 6 and Nov. 10.

"(They) exhibit phases of dishonesty, deceit, chi canery," the article contin ues to quote. "'No school or college course is worth pur chasing by a living lie.'" The Moderator cited sports columnist Jimmy Cannon as adding in the '60s that "the athletic scholarship in many in stances is just a salary paid to boys who have not the mentality to assimilate a college education."' The magazine suggested an alternative between the extremes of "Big Football" and "No Football." The plan is emphasizing intra mural and intermural com petition and reclassifying big time football teams as professional teams carry ing the college's name. Whether or not this ap plies to the University of Nebraska is a matter of opinion. Whether this would ever be applied to the University is a matter of vast doubt. When you see 60.000 peo ple pack into a stadium at a University of 15.000, the scope of big football begins to impress you. Occasionally you even wonder if the chant has not been changed from "Go Big Red!" to "GO BIG!. . Red." show your potential huskers: BEAT THE 000 tickets for University faculty and employees, Pit tenger explained. BILLING He said the annual spring football renewal process in volves billing ticket holders, collecting money, and dis tributing tickets. Student lotteries are of fered in the springi and fall for block sections besides the fall sales for new stu dents and faculty he added. "Our biggest problem is that every game is a sell out and people cannot sit where they want to," Pitten ger said. "6.000 to 7,000 persons sitting in the end zone want to sit on the side lines." PRIORITY "We give first priority on vacant seats to the people who have had tickets the longest," he said. Adding to the problems, people are always com plaining about the people sitting around them, he said. Another big headache for" the ticket manager is people who always want tickets re gardless of the situation. 200 CALLS "I get 150 to 200 calls a day from people wanting tickets." Pittenger said. . "Even with the large stadium capacity," he said, "we still could have sold 10.000 more tickets for the Colorado game. ; Pittenger said the athle tic office is holding 20 per cent of the student tickets ' for the Missouri game. AWAY GAMES "We cannot judge how many tickets are going to be sold ahead of time," he said. "We sell more tickets to away games than any oth er school in the Big Eight conference," Pittenger said. YEA TEAM Pittenger recalled one in cident concerning a dis gruntled fan several years ago: "A fellow came into the office one Saturday morn ing before a game and got a season ticket. The next Monday morning he was back, storming mad." "It seems that he ended up sitting next to his for mer wife he had just gotten divorced from nine months before." 54th & O Street Feature of 1:103:10 5:157:209:25 WEEK MGM presents AJudd Bernard Irwin Winkler Production LEE - LJ'POIIJT BLANK" iNGIE DICKINSON co-samng I In Panarision'and Metrocolor MOM Th.
