Does last January's Cotton bowl classic in Dallas fore
shadow the outcome of Saturday's Nebraska football opener
with border-rival Wyoming?
.-'; When Texas A&M turned the tables on the Alabma
Crimson Tide (remember them from previous bowl
encounters?) 20-16, a former assistant coach at Alabama,
Gene Stallings, guided the underdog Aggies over the Tide
and its head mentor Paul "Bear" Bryant. '
. Bryant, who is held in such esteem in Alabama that
he received a few votes at the Republican National Conven
tion for the Presidential nomination, once had Stallings on
his Alabama coaching staff.
But the student defeated the master in that coaching
duel and if Nebraska's Bob Devaney, the nation's winningest
Coach, fails to heed warnings from Laramie, a former assis
tant coach at Wvomine could make the Husker boss ill
Saturday afternoon.
Cowboy coach Lloyd Eaton, who came to the Laramie
scliool In 1957 prospered as Devaney's defensive tutor and
gained controls of the gridmen when Devaney left Laramie
for the football tutorship position at weorasKa.
The Cowbovs. who won 10 straight regular season
matches before bowing at the Sugar Bowl on New Year's
Day to Louisana State, invade Lincoln witnout tne services
of the nation's leading Kicker Jerry ueroysier ana
quarterback Paul Toscano, the nation's sixth leading total
offensive gainer.
But they certainly have the horses to chomp at the
hit when the red-adorned Huskers taxe tne neia at z p.m.
Saturday before an expected full Memorial Stadium house
of 65,000.

By setting or tying five Wyoming marks last fall, he an officials' clinic for flag

for 868 vards and 5 touchdowns. Undoubtedly, if the Huskers coming week,
fail to euard this dangerous receiver closely, he will break Entries for fall tennis and
loose for additional points Saturday.
' Defensivley, linebacker Jim House,' also a senior co-cap
tain who earned all WAC honors last year, returns from
the defensive squad that led the nation in rushing defense
with an average allowance of 42.3 yards and a mere six
touchdowns over 10 gbmes. The defenders also compiled
the third highest total defense peak (Nebraska topped the
field in this category last fall) by permitting foes 185.2
yards per match last fall and just 13 touchdowns.
HOUSE has all the materials this year to repeat and
even better his impressive record of last year. But he
needs assitance as only 10 starters return from last fall's
nationally-rated squad. Besides that, with kicking such an
important aspect of college and even professional football,
the Wyoming club will be hurt by the ss of DePoyster
(a native of Bellevue) and the effect. quarterbacking
of Toscano.
But don't , kid yourself. This Eaton-coached crew could
do exactly what Stallings did in the Cotton Bowl less than
10 months aeo in the first meeting between Eaton and
his former coach Bob Devaney.
The last time the two crews met on Sept. 29, 1934
in Lincoln, Dana X. Bible's Cornhuskers opened their season
with a pounding 5O-0 slaughter of Willard "Dutch" Witte's
Cowboys. Saturday's match certainly will not see that same
score again, although we feel Nebraska will stretch their
all-time mark against Wyoming to 2-0.
In predicting Nebraska to triumph by a slim margin,
we feel the Lincolnites better balance, and more depth
possibly the greatest depth a Devaney team has ever pos
sessed, will enable the Huskers to eventually wear down the
Cowboys.
But we don t feel the game will be a runaway
as when Nebraska smashed smaller South Dakota colleges.
Wyoming may- lack the enrollment, but they certainly don't
lack top-notch foootball players. It will be a close game,
where a point or two could provide the difference.
In another Big Eight opener, Iowa State has so many
problems both on and off the field, that even new coach
Johnny Majors who came to the Ames with more enthusiasm
than any other first year tutor in the nation, will probably
hope the season ends as soon as possible.
The Cyclones open with Buffalo at Ames Saturday but
the easteners should handle the Cycones, although it will
be interesting to watch the progress the squad makes during
the year after the horrendous start it had with racial strife.

within the next week or two gets on steady feet early
with an active participation by all campus intramural direc
tors who are asked to nominate outstanding players weekly
from their organizations.
It's up to them as to the success or failure of the
program. We will award certificates of appreciation to the
recipients which can be framed and an article on each
winner will appear in each Friday's Daily Nebraskan.
The intramural directors supposedly signed up or were
elected to their positions because of their dedication and
enthusiasm for intramural sports. If they are serious about
their positions, we feel there are certainly deserving athletes
on intramural teams.
Last words We don't desire to get into arguments
with baseball enthusiasts, but when sports fans have a
choice between watching a baseball game or football en
counter just look at the attendance at the comparative
events over this weekend to see who wins. Football will
score a smashing victory at the box office.

Be A Sport ... j

Assistant Sports Editor
Most people endorse the belief that Bob Devaney has
long held a recruiting monopoly on Uniontown, Pa., and
Steubenville, Ohio. The Cornhuskers usually extract the top
talent from those two gold mines and the out-state products
generally hit with a big impact.
But in the case of Eugene Aaron (Gene) Huey, the
Huskers just weren't quick enough. Lloyd Eaton, Devaney's
successor at Wyoming, invaded Uniontwon in the open
season, made a sales pitch and Huey promptly decided
on the Cowboys.
AND NO ONE CAN possibly claim that Huey hasn't
hit with a big impact. The senior co-captain, who will onen
at offensive split end and defensive halfback Saturday against
tne acarlet and Cream, figured in five individual school
receiving records last year, while Wyoming frolicked to
a 10-0 regular season mark.
An All-Western Athletic Conference first team selection
last year, Huey ranked 12th nationally in receiving, snagpin"
53 passes for 868 vards. The 172-pound speedster hauled
in three scoring passes against the Air Force Academy
in a 1967 encounter, but his big day came against the
University of Texas at El Paso Miners when he latched
onto 12 pitches for 184 yards.
Credentials like that are convincing, but the versatile
three-sport high school standout isn't about to rely on past
accomplishments. Huey grabbed 13 aerials for 136 yards in
the Pokes' two spring games, giving every indication of
a repeat performance in the '68 WU campaign.
Tidbits The Wyoming roster lists one Nebraskan,
sophomore Larry Rice, multiple sports star who prepped
at Gering High School before enroling at Laramie on a
full football ride.
Dan Kobza, heir to Wayne Meylan at the middle guard
slot, will get an early test when he lines up opposite Cowbov
center Jay Shapiro.
Rated an excellent snapper and blocker, Shapiro was
selected to the Sports Illustrated "All Bowl" team for his
work against LSU in this ypir's Sugar Bowl Classic.
TWO HIGH SCHOOL teamamtes will take the field
Saturday but on opposite teams this time. Glenn Patterson,
starting offensive tackle for the Huskers, and Barry Strickler
a defensive halfback for the Cowboys. -
Patterson, a junior, twice was named All-State in both
football and basketball at Worland, Wyo., while Strickler,
a sophomore candidate, was an All-State back and team
captain for Worland after Patterson graduated.
Man to watch fo Wvnm" MiirHaw Is No. 46. Thot
jersey belongs to linebacker Jim House, but a person will
have to keep an alert eye to follow the senior co-captain. J
House is rated one of the finest football players ever
to come out of Wyoming. He finished a close second to Al'
American Mike Dirks in defensive statistics last year but led
the club in tackles.
House, who was selected national lineman of the week
by Sports Illustrated following last year's Colorado State
game, nailed opposing backs for 15 losses, .knocked dow3
two passes, intercepted one, recovered a fumble and blockjfl
a punt in the '67 season.
And don't be surprised what House can do with the
ball if he ever gets a hold of it. He was an All-Stat
and Ail-American fullback for Laramie's top-ranked team
that complied a 25-2 record in his career.
