As the last NU football game approaches, fans prob
ably have a tendency to look ahead to next year. The
future prospects look extremely good, of course, since
this year's sophomorish. squad will form next year's ex
perienced team.
The undefeated freshman team, looks as though it
will add some talent of its own.
This year's team loses few senior starters and the
NU squad should be improved next year.
TALENT LOST
At any rate, the team, will be tested early next year.
The first game finds Wyoming in Lincoln Sept. 14.
The big difference will be whether replacements can be
found for those seniors, who proved themselves outstand
ing players.
The pass-catching abilities of Dennis Morrison and
Dennis Richnafsky will be hard to replace. Bob Taucher
and Roger Kudrna will be lost from the offensive line.
Co-captain Ben Gregory willbe sorely missed from
the offensive backf ield. "' . :
He has been tabbed by Missouri coach Dan Devine as
one of the nation's best backs. Gregory has proven this
more than once. .. . '
OUCH!
The defensive line loss will perliaps be the greatest.
There will no longer be a Wayne" Meylan to terrorize
opponents! Linemen Barry Alvarez,. Larry Hansen, Al
Kuehl, Harry Meagher, Jim McCord and Jerry Patton will
see their last action Nov. 25.
Nebraska's defensive ends using the remainder of their
eligibility are Len Janik, Bob Weinman and Ivan dimmer.
Co-Captain Marv Mueller is the lone member of the
defensive backfield lost. Mueller and Meylan were the only
two sophomores to start in the early 1965 season.
TALENTED DEFENSE
That this defensive team is one of' the greatest ever
in Cornhusker history is obvious from its record. The
teams that have come close tn their performances in the
past have always been accompanied by outstanding offen
sive squads.
This year's defense has had to pull the offensive unit
out of trouble numerous times.
NEBRASKA BEAT USC?
Do you think Nebraska should get credit for having
beaten Southern California?
Why not? Nebraska certainly conquered Washington.
Washington beat Oregon-State. Oregon State beat USC.
Simple?
OKLAHOMA TOO!
Not only that. - - ,
Nebraska beat TCU. TCU beat Texas Tech. Texas Tech
beat Texas. Texas beat Oklahoma.
Why play the Oklahoma game and spoil such an out
standing record?.
It may be necessary to ignore that Nebraska lost to
Kansas. Kansas lost to Indiana. Indiana lost to . . .
New Husker Look:
Tall Frosh Cagers
Coach Glenn Potter's
freshmen basketball team
will be endowed with un
usual height this year when
the eager season begins.
Heading the list are 6'10"
Bernard Brown, a Shelby
ville, Ky. native, 6'8" Tim
Allmond, from Brooklyn,
N.Y., and 67" Leroy Chalk,
from Big Sandy, Tex.
With 6'5" Tom Bryan, 6'
5" Joey Rathe, a Nebras
ka All-Stater from Sterling,
and 6'4" Richard Krone
busch the frosh cagers may
give Nebraska teams a new
look.
REBOUNDS
Coach Potter, in his fourth
year as Nebraska freshman
coach, said the increased
size will provide the Husk
ers with a better rebound
ing team.
"Last year's team had
good shooters and ballhandV -lers
but lacked rebound
ing," Potter said.
This squad's potential de
pends on how their shoot
ing and ball-handling comes
along he added.
NEW SYSTEM
The freshman coach said
the yearlings are -progressing
on a comparable level
as past freshman teams.
. "We are mainly working
on fundamentals right now."
he said.
"We try to keep things as
basic and simple as pos
sible. These boys are learn
ing a whole new system of
play." .
Wednesday
Peace Vigil
Will End
The weekly peace vigil
held every Wednesday noon
since last year will be dis
continued after this week,
because of poor attendance,
according to Raleigh J. Pet
erson, director of the Cot-,
ner School of Religion and
an active participant in the
vigils. .
"Since interest in . this
peaceful means of dissent
has declined this fall, the
individuals participat
ing have ' decided to turn
thei attentions to other ac
tions such as circulating
petitions and the 168 elec
tions." Peterson said.
He estimated attendance
this fall to be a constant

SURROUNDED BY

Mike Wynn
. Cowboy quarterback Ron Johnson is hemmed in by Husker defenders
(90), Wayne Meylan (66) and Jerry Patton (88).
The combination of Steve
Mwamba regaining his old
scoring touch and a lineup
readjustment produced the
University Soccer Club's
first victory in four weeks.
The local crew downed
Omaha's Offutt Air Force
Base 6-1 in Lincoln Sunday
to complete a sweep of the
two-game series and boost
the Lincolnite's record to
5-2-1 in the Midwest Soccer
League.
Mwamba, the team's
leading scorer, booted four
goals and Ahmed Hamam,
a forward from Saudia Ara
bia, scored two goals as
the locals complimented an
earlier 7-4 triumph over the
Omahans.
"We changed our lineup
from a 2-3-5 system to a
4-3-3 system," said Tim
Rickard, club president.
"We tried to strengthen
our midfield play by put
ting in one extra defender
and employing three players
to control midfield," he
said.
The three link men pro
vide a link between the of
fense and defense to bring
the baH'out of the defen
sive zone and pass it to the
attackers, he said.
"The three players got a
lot of strain put on them,
but it's designed to domin
ate midfield," he added.
Rickard cited left half
Goodwon Nyau, from Zam
bia, for being the local's
most improved player and
also said Mwamba and Sai
di Mohammed.
Saturday the team will
play a non - conference
match against Pershing Col
lege from Beatrice at 2
p.m. at the former Lincoln
Air Force Base to "give
the Pershing team a chance
to play a game since this
is their first year," Rick
ard said.
Sunday at 2 p.m. at the
local field, the Kickers will
attempt to down the local
crew for the second time
and stretch their pace-setting
slate to 8-1.

Editor's Note: This is the
third of a four part series
on Ail-American football
players in the Bob Devaney
era at Nebraska.
Bob Devaney's 1965 Corn
husker football squad was
Potter said the Huskers
are spending considerable
time on defense.
"We are working on pres
sure man - to - man defense
which will work into a half
court press," he said.
'BIGGER KIDS'
"The reason for the half
court press," Potter said,
"is that we have bigger
kids and they will have
trouble covering a larger
area."
Joining the taller Huskers
will be Clifford Moller, a
Bronx, N.Y., native, and
Roger Holmes and Rich 01
sen, from Nebraska's 1967
state champion Lincoln
Northeast team.
The Nebraska frosh will
open the season Dec. 1
against the Husker varisty
'at "the Coliseum and will
, entertain McCook Junior
College Dec. 4.

Tony Jeter
perhaps the finest Nebras
ka team ever assembled.
Devaney's fourth Nebras
ka squad became the first
undefeated regular season
team since the 1915 Nebrss
kans and it was also the
first crew in Nebraska his
tory to produce three AI1
Americans. Besides earning the Ail
American crowns, defen
sive middle guard Walt
Barnes, and offensive ends
Tony Jeter and Freeman
White, won numerous other
awards.
The three Huskers
selected as consensus All
Conference players by the
major wire services.
The trio was also chosen
to participate in the 1965
Coaches All-American Foot
ball Game, while Barnes
and Jeter were selected to
play in the 1965 Senior Bowl
classic.
Barnes and White were
chosen as combatants in
the 1965 Hula Bowl mtach.
Althou s sharing those
honors, trio also
amassed dividual honors
in pacing the Huskers to
their third consecutive Big
Eight conference champion
ship. The 6'2" 231 pound Barnes
was selected to participate
in the 1966 College All-Star
contest and is currently
playing defensive tackle for
the National Football
League's Washington Red
skins. "lie was an outstanding
tackle," Devaney said of
t h e Chicago native who
wore .Nebraska colors
1963, 1964 and 1965.
Although the 1965 squad
outscored foes 349-129 and
was selected to play in the
urange Bowl classic, it suf
fered its first loss in the
post-season affair to Bear
Bryant's Alabama Crimson
Tide 39-28.
Much of the credit for the
phenominal offensive rec
ord is attributed to ends
Tony Jeter and Freeman
White, who practically re-
K-i v::
Walt Barnes
in
wrote the Nebraska record
book.
The 6'3" 200 pound, Jeter,
who is currently playing for
the Wheeling (W. Va) Iron
men of the Continental Foot
ball League, drew praise
from Devaney.
"Jeter was the best block
er of any the ends we've
had." he said. "He was also
a fine two-way player in
1963."
Besides earning athletic
laurels, the Weirton, W. Va.
native also captured numer
ous scholastic awards.
He won the 1965 Tom No
vak Trophy, which is an
nually presented to the Se
nior player best exemplify
ing the courage and deter
mination -despite all odds.
The award recognizes 1949
Nebraska All-American cen
ter Tom Novak.
Jeter was chosen as both a
1965 Conference and All
American Academic selec
tion by a poll of college
sports information direc
tors. Before joining the Wheel
ing entry, Jeter played pro
fessional football with the
NFL's Green Bay Packers
and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Although the 6'4" 210
pound White has seen three
of his Husker pass recep
tion marks broken by end
Dennis Richnafsky of the
current Nebraskans, he still
holds three Husker recep
tion marks.
The Detroit, Mich., native
holds the records for season
pass receptions with 32
(Richnafsky presently has
31), the one season record
with 519 yards and a car
rier mark of 881 yards.
"He was a fine pass re
ceiver with good speed,"
Devaney said of the current
defensive line-backer of the
NFL's New York Giants.
