Lincoln may be the heartland of Comhusker football
enthusiasm, and there will probably be 65,000 football-hungry
spectators on the 10th Street mansion but Saturday's game
hardly excites the imagination.
Inside, eagerly anticipating Nebraska's second game of
the infant season with an unknown University of Utah team,
most tans are trying to secure enough funds to lump on
a plane to either South Bend, Ind., Minneapolis or Cham
paign, 111.
WITH THE national spotlights on both Oklahoma's meet
ing with Notre Dame; O. J. Simpson and his playmates from
Southern California's game with Minnesota's defending Big
Ten co-champions; and regional attention on darkhorse
Kansas' battle with the University of Illinois, Saturday's
Nebraska-Utah contest is relegated to second-class status.
The Redskins will not prove to be the pushover
Nebraska fans are anticipating, but we don't feel they will
dish out the trouble last week's VVAC squad from Wyoming
handed Nebraska.
Besides Saturday's 2 p.m. Memorial Stadium encounter,
all Big Eight teams are in action. After splitting last week's
two-game slate, let's try this Saturday's games, which may
prove to be the closest contests all season.
NOTRE DAME OVER OKLAHOMA Even with
quarterback Bob Warmack, probably the finest OU passer,
and backs Steve Owens and Eddie Hinton, OU will fall
to the Irish at South Bend. OU has undoubtedly the thoughest
non-conference team in the nation, but without All-American
middle guard Granville Liggins to aid the defense, the home
crowd, signal-caller Terry Hanratty and end Jim Symour,
Notre Dame will triumph.
KANSAS OVER ILLINOIS - The Big Eight's darkhorse
led by brilliant passer Bobby Douglass should win in the
Land of Lincoln.
MISSOURI OVER KENTUCKY The Tigers
the victory habit at Lexington.
COLORADO OVER OREGON The Buffs, with a strong
bod Anderson at tne controls, will down their western in
' vaders.
KANSAS STATE OVER COLORADO STATE Opening
in lis spanning &,vw seat stadium tne Wildcats will hand
coach Vince Gibson a win like they did last fall over the
Westerners, but can the streak continue? K-State lost all
their matches after last fall's opening win over Colorado
State.
ARKANSAS OVER OKLAHOMA STATE The
; Razorbacks should prevail at Little Rock, although
quarterback Ronnie Johnson and power-driving fullback Jack
' Reynolds will give them all they can handle.
ARIZONA jOVER IOWA STATE We missed last week
with a spirited Ames crew, but they are biting more than
they can chew with a speedy, tough Arizona crew. If
quarterback John Warder finds the range like he did in
last week's convincing 28-10 victory over Buffalo, it could
be a 2-0 slate for the Cyclones.
FIRST LETTER Believe it or not, we finally received
a letter from a reader. This note comes from Frank Schmehl,
and we agree wholeheartedly with his comments. Thanks
for your observations, Frank. Remember all letters, subject
to editing, will be printed.
"Appreciated your Remarks in Wednesday's paper. I
also note that you commented on several flaws that were
present and indicated the passing game needs a definite
boost While I agree with this, the facts are that without
adequate, consistent, sustained blocking you don't have a
chance at a good passing attack.
For some reason ene wishes to criticize the blocking
in last week's game. Perhaps it is sot fair to compare
the Hasten wiw tne pros, but old yon happen to see
the Bears-Redskins game on TV Sunday? Sonny Jurgenson
did an excellent job of passing BUT, be bad all the
time In the world to da it!
Get out your stopwatch sometime and count the number
of seconds that a good pro passer has in which to select
his man and make his throw. It will amaze you!
Protection is the word, man. If Husker backs would
only maintain contact after the initial block, we might get
somewhere. Patrick would have shown up much better if
the blocks were better, but this is not to take anything away
from Ernie Sigler be was wonderful."

BASEBALL EVENTS Although we failed to receive
replies from disgruntled baseball fans after we said that
last week's sports fans, if given a choice, would rather
see a football game than a baseball match, baseball certainly
found itself in the spotlight this week. With two no-hitters
in a row by St Louis and San Francisco in National League 1
action at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, baseball is
showing that even with both pennant races completed, tiie
national past-time can still do something constructive during
its lengthy season
UNUSUAL GIMMICK Wasn't that clever to run a
Utile horse with a sign proclaiming him as "Cowboy Joe"
around the Memorial Stadium track after each Wyoming score
last week? Why can't Nebraska do something hi that
maybe run a little pig around the Stadium and give
all those unbiased (?) gentlemen from Sports Illustrated
a real slow "God-Fearing Farmer to write about rather
than their usual snide comments about Nebraska's size and
speed or lack of it

hoot ranks us : 3rd best in I
By Randy York
Assistant Sports Editor
Quicker than a- stewardess
can spill a cup of coffee,
football season is off the
launching pad. And ulcer
season has been officially
proclaimed. Paul Rogers saw
to that.
For those still wondering,
Rogers' 51-yard game-winning
field goal against Wyom
ing ranks as the fourth
longest three-pointer in Big
Eight t. onference history.
Just think what Rogers' toe
might do the rest of the
season?
Nebraska's dip to fifth
place in the Big Eight race
last year, prompted Coach Bob
Devaney to recall, "Really,
I think the best three games
we played all 1st year were
Oklahoma (14-21), Colorado
(16-21), and Missouri (7-10)
and we lost them all."
Devanev continued, ' ' I
i it ji a
E Jr 1 2SV JF . m. tor
believe we took all we wanted
to take off them last year,
Mr. Rogers undoubtedly
agrees.
Somewhat encouraging in
the tussle with the Cowboys
was one fumble by those
usually-fumbling Huskers. At
that rate, NU would have 10
at the end of the regular
season. The 1967 Cornhusker
edition piled up 39 fumbles
the figure could be sliced
by four times if the present
pace continues. Nebraska
dropped four games in '67,
managing to lose the ball at
the most inopportune times.
It wasn't expressed, but
probably one of the most
discouraging elements i n
NU's seasonal opener was the
absence of Wayne Meylan.
Middle guard was a quiet
place last Saturday as no solo
tackles were credited to that
position.

Glenn Patterson, starting
offensive tackle on the
Huskers' right side, hails
from Worland, Wyo. Pat
terson praised the stingy
Pokes' defense, labeling it as
comparable to last year's
Missouri outfit. "They
pursued so well," he said,
"and stunted all the time, sort
of like Southern teams do."
"It was a sweet one to win
all right." Patterson con
cluded. "I can go home next
summer ana noia my neaa
up." A quick glance at Utah's
roster reveals no native
Nebraskans.
Nebraska and Utah meet
for the first time Saturday,
but don't be surprised if the
game has a Big Eight flavor.

Bill Meek, new head coach
for the Utes, was at the helm
of Kansas State's Wildcats
from 1950-54. '
Jim LaRue, defensive
coordinator for the Redskins,
assisted Meek during his
tenure at K-State. Dick
Scesniak should be familiar
to Big Eight fans. Utah's new
offensive line coach was an
All-Conference guard for Iowa
State in 1962. He has served
as an assistant to Dan Devine
at Missouri and to the
Cyclones' Clay Stapleton.

Intramural director looks
for more football fields
University intramural foot
ball begins another campaign
Monday with the possibility
that B teams will be formed
after a previous an
nouncement had eliminated
them.
University Intramural
Director Joel Meier said this
week that the intramural
department was still
attempting to find additional
fields somewhere in Lincoln
to enable the B squads to play
their regular fall football
schedule.
"WE MIGHT be able to get
the area that we used last
year at Woods Park," be said
in adding that the intramural
department was working with
the Dean of Student Affair's
office to obtain playing space. 1

33rd and O Streets provided
eight flag football fields for
last season, but the land was
obtained through the
eooperatioon of the Lincoln
Parks and Recreation
Department, which only
loaned the space to the
University for last season.
Besides using three fields
on east campn, the
intramural program will also
use ene field on Vine Streeet
behind Abel Hall for flag foot
ball, but the Abel Field hardly
fits the category of an ideal
playing area, Meier said.
Meier said that at a
meeting held last spring,
University officials decided to
I level the area behind Abel
Hall and install floodlights to
enable night games to be
scheduled.
"But now telephone poles
are in the ground, there are
big tire ruts and sink boles
and no lights are there."
Meier said, adding that the
area was declared too
dangerous for football games
last week by University
Public Health Engineer Ed
Simpson. "
"I have serious reserva
tions if we can even finish
the season in time before the
snow cancels our games, he
said, "If that happens, we will
postpone the playoffs until
iient spring."

to Concessions Director Bill
Fisher, who reported a record
sale for cold drinks.
Husker fans downed 55,609
soft drinks while consuming
10,000 hot dogs, 6,000 bags of
peanuts, and 5,000 bags of pop
corn. Program sales hit an
all-time record high of 13,000.
A Devaney quip about the
Wyoming heart-stopper: "I'd
like to give all the credit to
my assistant coaches. They
worked hard all week . . .
In fact, all I did was work
a little with that kid from
Rock Rapids, Iowa ..."
Yes, Rogers is the guy from
Rock Rapids. Devaney con
tinued, "Paul and I didn't
plan on such a long kick,
however. When I sent him in
the game he asked where the
ball was and I told him it
was on the 24."
Rogers said, "Heck, coach,
I can kick 'em from there
anytime."
The high-octane sting of
NU's second string backs
