It's getting to be a faD
routine at Nebraska. While
the Carnhuskers have become
a contender in tsig lugni
football year in and year out,
the U cross country team
usually receives the opposite
biffing.
In fact, Coach Frank
Sevigne's charges faUed to
post a win last fall and
finished last in the Big Eight
chase. So there's only one
way the Husker harriers can
go and that's up.
And it looks as if Nebraska
nill finally end its two-year
drought in dual competition
as Sevigne expects this year's
Husker runners to press for
one of the conference's top
spots.
"THIS IS the best cross
country team I've had at
Nebraska,' Se vigne
evaluated. 'I feel we have
as much balance as any team
in the conference."
A person may wonder how
a coach can make such an
assessment when NU will not
field three of its top five run
ners of a year ago. Only two
lettermen are listed on this
year's edition.
Fact is, Sevigne had to run
boys that he didn't
necessarily want to run last
year. Lacking Big Eight-cal-ibered
competitors in 1967,
' Sevigne was forced to enter
Dan Moran and Mike Ran
dall, who actually specialized
in middle-distance running.
There is no such problem
this fall, however. A talented
crop of sophomores and four
promising freshmen prospects
add .to the optimism. Mel
Campbell and Bob Tupper,
bota juniors, are the veterans
reporting back.
Sevigne may have produced
a blue chip recruit in Mike
Lee, a freshman from Seattle
Wash. Lee finished second in
the state high school mile
event last year, clipping the
distance in a impressive 4:16.
But one of the top milers
t)n the Husker unit has got
to be Pete Brang, who has
registered a 4:10 clocking and
also owns an 8:58 time in the
two-mile. Brang is a junior,
but this marks his first year
in a Husker uniform. He is
Sigma Delta Psi
to hold meeting
AH University men in
terested in qualifying for
membership in Sigma Delta
Psi, national honorary athletic
fraternity, should meet in
room 114, Mens Physical
Education Building at 4 p.m.
Thursday.
After the Thursday
organizational meeting,!
testing for the various events i
members must pass will
begin so testing may be com-1
pleted before the close of the j
academic year. 1
a transfer from Mt. San
Antonio Jr. College in Bald
win Park, Calif.
DAVE BRADLEY, frosh
hopeful from Omaha, is tab
bed by Sevigne as one of the
top prospects. Bradley prep
ped at Benson High School,
winning the state cross coun
try individual championship
last fall and finishing second
in the state mile last spring.
Greg Carlberg, another
Omaha Benson product,
figures high in Sevigne's
reconstruction picture.
Carlberg captured the state
two-mile run two years ago
and has been running well
this fall, according to
Sevigne.
Jim Lang, a sophmore from
Omaha Bishop Ryan High
School, is labeled by Sevigne
as "right among our best
runners." The Husker head
coach also rated two sophs
who may press for a vacancy,
Tom Housel from Lexington
and Larry Kusselboum from
Hebron.
Ralph Bradley, Dave's
brother, and Tom Snyder, a
Lincoln junior, complete the
roster.
"On paper," Sevigne said,
"Kansas State is the strongest
team in the conference.
Missouri won it last year and
is strong again this year."
Nebraska opens its com
petitive slate with the two
strong teams in its first two
home meets. The Huskers
entertain K-State Oct. 12 and
host Missouri the following
Saturday, Oct. 19.
"We'll find out how good
we are in a hurry," Sevigne
said, "with those meets right
off the bat." Colorado, rated
by Sevigne as the other Bip
Eight contender, is NU's third
opponent. Nebraska journeys
to Boulder's high altitude Oct
26.
Iowa State is Nebraska's
fourth test in a Nov. 2
engagement at Ames. The
Huskers close their season
Nov. 9 with the Big Eight
Conference Meet at
Lawrence, Kan.

The college football season
moved into high gear last
weekend, resulting in a lot
of excitement and a little bit
of mystery.
Big Eight teams did fairly
well last Saturday, spliting
eight games against good op
position. Nebraska (31-0 over
Utah Kansas (47-7 over Il
linois), Kansas State (21-0
over Colorado State) and
Colorado (28-7 over Oregon)
all won in impressive fashion,
although the quality of their
opposition was not that high.
IN CONTRAST, Oklahoma
ran into a high quality
burasaw at South Bend, Ind.
Notre Dame obliterated the
Sooners, 45-21, staking its
claim as the number one
team in the nation in no
uncertain terms.
Along the same lines,
Arkansas routed Oklahoma
State, 32-15, as the
Razorbacks exploded for a
barrage o f fourth-quarter
touchdowns, indicating the
Porkers might be back as a
national power.
Iowa State and Missouri
lost by closer margins to
Arizona and Kentucky,
respectively, but neither the
Cyclones nor the Tigers
showed much muscle.
The mystery of the first big
H-eeke nd of college football
arises from the results of
several key games.
Did Notre Dame clobber an
excellent OU outfit or are the
Sooners not all they are
cracked up to be?
Is Texas finally going to
haw a Year of the Horns
despite a 20-20 tie with a
powerful Houston squad, or
are the Longhorns just
another good team?
DID ALABAMA haw an off
day squeaking by Virginia
Tech, 14-7, or is Bear
Bryant's spell beginning to
wear off?
Will Minnesota bounce back
from its unsuccessful struggle
with Southern California to
conquer Nebraska and the
Big Ten, or will both the Tro
jans and the Gophers prove
to be overrated?
Is UCLA's 63-7 massacre of
Pittsburgh significant or is it
merely an isolated runaway?
Will Wyoming continue its
recovery from the narrow
Nebraska loss in the fashion
of Saturday's 48-3 conquest of
Utah State, or will the
Cowboys fold against Arizona
State and the University of
Texas at El Paso in the WAC?
This weekend's games will
have a lot to say about
answering these questions.
Notre Dame and Purdue
square off at South Bend. If
the pollsters are correct in
their evaluation of the
Boilermakers, this one could
decide the national cham
pionship. Oklahoma tangles with
dangerous North Carolina
State at Norman, and if the
Sooners win big, they are
definitely back on the track.
Other important weekend
contests are UTEP at Arirona
State, Florida at Florida
State, Texas at Texas Tech,
and Iowa at TCU, where we'll
find out whether the young
Hawks are for real after their
stunning 21-20 upset over
Oregon State.
Finally, the outcome of the
Nebraska-Minnesota battle
will affect the national grid
picture considerably. An NU
win could mean the Huskers
are emerging as a superteam
a la 1965, but a loss to the
Gophers would not be
damaging.
The Cornhuskers are a
definite underdog going into
the Minneapolis clash Satur
day, but Nebraska isn't out
of it by a long shot. Nebraska
coach Bob Devaney has never
lost to a Big Ten team, and
ne isn i aooui vo suari now.

How many basketball or
football players would the
University attract to its
varsity squads if players were
required to pay for every ex
pense they incurred including
equipment ana nna a pracuce
and game field as well?
Our guess is not very many,
but there is one sport on this
campus where participants
are asked to provide all
expenses including equipment
and travel costs as well as
trvinsr to find a game and
practice field in Lincoln.
THE UNIVERSITY Soccer
Club, to the amaxement of
persons affiliated with
University sports, battled
through last season incurring
expenses that even J. Paul
Getty might have trouble
meeting.
The dedicated team
members, led by captain Tim
Rickard, finished third in the
Midwest Soccer League.
This year, Rickard has left
Nebraska and is now
participating in soccer at
Kansas State University and
the University Soccer crew is
now captained by Victor
Umanna in a new league
called the Nebraska Soccer
League.
But those are the only
aspects that have changed
this year. The University
which Is tossing money arou
nd for new construction pro-
Soccer team drops
opener to Omaha
The University Soccer Club
dropped its season opener
Sunday to the Omaha
Marumzmg Club, 7-1, m tne
revised Nebraska Soccer
League.
The local crew scored the
game s opening goal the first
time it had the ball, but the
Omahans came back with
three goals to lead 3-1 at
halftone. A four-goal spurge
in the second half sealed the
victory for Omaha.
THE GAME was the first
league contest played by the
two teams in the new
Nebraska Soccer League.
Last year the league was cal
led the Midwest Soccer Lea
gue and it included a team
from Des Moines, Iowa.
This fall a team represen
ting Kearney State College
has replaced the Iowa entry
which was dropped from the
loop for financial and time
considerations.
Victor Umanna, University
club captain, said
Moines was dropped from the
league since it was too far
and expensive for the
Nebraska teams to drive to
Des Moines for league games.
The game field at P e t e r
Gs&m mB scd nam
'fcHSEJ-) 'Mssrir.
Pan Park was marked off
by team members before the
contest began which tired the
players, Umanna said.
"Besides that, we weren't
even informed of the game
until four days before we
played, so we didnt have
enongh time to have any
practices," the team captaia
said.
"We have a lot of good in
dividual players on the team,
and after we hold some prac
tices, we will have a real fine
team," Umunna said.

jecta as if it were paper,
repeatedly has told the soccer
club on funds can be provid
ed. How much is this exorbitant
sum that is being requested!
Umanna estimated that
uniforms, nets for the goals
and possibly three or four
soccer balls would cost
between 1250 to 1300.
Considering the cost to out
fit just one football player
runs better than $100 and
more than 90 players suited
up for last Saturday's game
against Utah, the cost to
equip the entire soccer team,
is not enough to turn anyone's
budget into the red column.
Umanna said he has con
tacted, without any success,
the Nebraska Athletic
Department, the Student Af
fairs Office and both the
Men's and Women's Physical
Education Departments.
IN FACT, after contacting
the Women's P.E. Depart
ment, the team's request to
use the field behind the new
Women's P.E. Building for
practices and possibly games
was denied when an official
objected to the boots which
tore up parts of the field last
fall.
The team was forced to
play at Peter Pan Park for
Sunday's opening game
thanks to the generosity of
the Lincoln Recreation
Department But the field
conditions were horrible,
Umanna said, and the team
had to mark off the field
before the game.
We aren't placing the blame
for this condition on any one
individual or one department.
But what we are saying is
that this team, like any team
representing the University
deserves some financial
compensation so players don't
have to line up at the local
loan companies in order to
obtain funds.
The soccer team isnt ask
ing for $35,000 to equip a team
that will travel from coast to
coast. AU they ask is a bare
minimum to aid them this
year in their new league. Can
someone or some department
help them out?
