The Big Showdown is Saturday. Kansas and Nebraska,
darlings of he pollsters and the only undefeated teams
in the Big Eight, collide head-on at Memorial Stadium in
a contest that could settle the 1968 conference championship.
The far-repching implications of the Husker-Jayhawk
clash carry the flavor of many Texas-Arkansas meetings
in the early lS60's. Both the Steers and the Porkers were
usually high-ranked and undefeated, and their game opened
the Southwest Conference title chase.
Lack of facilities hinders intramural prograi
FROM 1959 through 1965, the winner of the Texas
Arkansas game either won outright or shared the SWC
championship and went to the Cotton Bowl. The loser usually
finished second, and also traveled to a prestige bowl.
The best example of Texas-Arkansas power occurred
in 1964 when the Razorbacks pulled out a hair-raising 14-13
squeaker over the Longhorns in Austin. Texas, behind 14-7
in the waning moments of the fourth quarter, drove 80
yards for a touchdown in less than two minutes. Texas
then gambled on a two-point conversion at the gun, choosing
to win or lose rather than tie. The quarterback's flat pass
eluded the flanker's out-stretched hands by inches, and
Arkansas, for all practical purposes, won the SWC title
right there.
Arkansas finished 11-0 that season, including another
heart-stopping 10-7 decision over none other than the
Nebraska Cornhuskers in the 1965 Cotton Bowl.
Poor old Texas finished second in the Southwest. Oh
yes, UT wound up 10-1, including a somewhat notable 21-17
triumph over Joe Namath and Alabama in the 1965 Orange
Bowl.
Getting back to this weekend's KU affair, rarely has
Nebraska been involved in such a crucial early-season game.
Husker schedules once allowed some momentum-building
against Kansas State and-or Iowa State early in the year
before battling the biggies, but there will be no room for
experimentation Oct. 12.
Quarterback Bobby Douglass and his mates have the
capacity to blow the Cornhuskers right out of Lancaster
County, if they get an early advantage. Kansas is averaging
an incredible 51 points a game, although one has to
acknowledge that Illinois, Indiana and New Mexico are by
no means defensive giants. Still, no matter who KU has
played, point production like that is nothing to sneer at.
THE HUSKERS will counter with an offense that has
moved well between the 20's and scores when it has to.
Though Kansas has demonstrated it can score anytime from
anywhere on the field, Nebraska, with bombs from
quarterbacks Ernie Sigler and Frank Patrick, and with
breakaway threats Dick Davis, Joe Orduna and Mike Green,
can match the 'Hawks touchdown for touchdown.
Where NU will have an advantage will be on defense.
Nebraska's Black Shirts have allowed only 8 points per
game, compared to Kansas' 11.3. More importantly, however,
the Huskers are permitting only about 200 yards per game
total offense, compared to KU's 400. Nebraska will be able
to move on Kansas. The game's outcome will be decided
on how well NU can contain the explosive Jayhawks.
Donny Shanklin seems to be the most dangerous Kansan
the Huskers will encounter. However, NU stymied a fellow
named Gale Sayers pretty well for three years, and I'm
confident Mr. Shanklin will not run wild Saturday.
There should be a goodly number of persons attending
Memorial Stadium Saturday. The 75th meeting between
Kansas and Nebraska is unique since both teams are con
tending for the Big Eight conference crown in the same
year.
Kansas helped set the first Memorial Stadium crowd
record of 20,000 way back in 1923 in the stadium dedication
game. They could be in on more records Saturday. The
Nebraska attendance mark of S5.842 set last year against
Colorado could fall, as could the point production record
by both teams set in 1963's 58-7 laughter over South Dakota
State.
This year's Kansas-Nebraska game ought to be one
rip-roarin', gang-bustin' affair, and I wouldn't miss it for
the world.
B team reprieve . . .
Flag football players
can use Woods Park
The availability of Woods area at the 33rd and O Streets
Park for B team flag football
has alleviated the need for ex
tra playing fields according to
Joel Meier, intramural direc
tor. Meier said he received
word from the Dean of Stu
dent Affairs' office last week
that the necessary $170 was
obtained to pay operating ex
penses for the seven-field
Kansas
setting
records
This year's Kansas
Jayhawk football team, which
has roared through its first
three non-conference games,
is the first Kansas squad in
16 years to win all its non
conference games.
The Jayhawks blasted Il
linois 47-7, downed Indiana 38
20 and slaughtered New
Mexico 68-7 to become the
highest scoring Kansas team
after the season's first three
games.
By scoring 153 points for
a game average of 51 points,
the Jayhawks have
established a new record for
three-game point production.
The 1912 team scored 91
points In the first three
matches.
The last Kansas team to
win all Its non-conference
games was the 1952 squad
wtiich whipped Texas Chris
tian 13-0; Santa Clara 21-9:
Southern Methodist 26-0 and
Oklahoma State 12-7.
park. Costs for securing a
supervisor to attend games
and a truck driver t o
transport equipment back and
forth from the city campus
had to be met before games
could be scheduled there, he
added.
FIFTEEN B TEAMS have
been entered in competition to
bring total flag football teams
to 103, down from last fall's
120 squads.
The teams will be placed
in two leagues and probably
play between seven and eight
games, he added.
Meier said the intramural
field behind Abel Hall on Vine
Street will not be used for
intramural football games,
but can be used by teams
for recreational p r a c t ic e
space. With the seven fields
at Woods F-rk available, he
said he was fairly certain the
flag football season could be
completed before the snows
come.
"We're glad we can offer
B team football and also that
some of the pressure can be
relieved on space for A team
games, Meier said.
Editor's Note This is the
fourth in a five part series
on the U n i v e r s i t y ' s in-
tramural department,
by Mark Gordon
Sports Editor
A lack of adequate facilities
for both indoor and outdoor
activities contributes to the
bulk of the intramural's prob
lems, according to Joel Meier,
intramural director.
Since the department can
not expand its facilities, flag
football and tennis must be
curtailed. Sports like soccer
and speedball are entirely out
of the question, Meier added.
THE DEPARTMENT must
cut back both the number of
regular season flag football
games and hold a single
rather than a double
elimination tournament after
the regular season, he said.
"More people sign up than
can play," he said, "and
many times it is the people
who may not be as good
athletically that desire to play
the most.
He said football teams only
play five or six games due
to limited facilities and that
slow pitch softball can not be
held in the spring. Only fast
pitch is held in a limited
single elimination tourney
which disposes of half the
teams after one round.
He added that during the
winter, basketball games are
scheduled for as late as 9:30
p.m. and for Saturday morn
ings which eliminates free
play for teams.
"We are lacking available
space for recreational and
free-play activities," he said,
" and this is an imporatnt
aspect of any intramural
program."
He said the Men's Physical
Education building is open for
free play only on Saturday
and Sundays at limited hours
and from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
weekdays.
The University's intramural
program is also weak on of
fering coeducational activities
since only a limited volleyball
tournament sponsored by the
Women's Physical Education
Department is currently
available, he noted.
"THERE'S a great deal of
interest in this area." Meier
said. "Sports such as bad
minton and volleyball could
be made co-recreational."
1 xne intramural program
lacks activites geared toward
faculty members, while other
colleges offer special divi-
dions in both physical fitness
and recreational activites for
faculty personnel, he said.
"Most faculty members
seek an outlet for activity.
he said, "but we are unable
to do much in this area
because we are so cramped
for space."
Charging $20 entry fees in
the department's two largest
team sports, football and
basketball, to pay for officials
is undersireable since many
independents lack funds to
enter these team sports.
Meier said money tn
eliminate assessing entry fees
could come from either
general student fees, er it
could be budgeted into the
intramural program.
"The fees eliminate a lot
of people who would like to
participate," he explained,
"but who don't have the
money to pay the fee.
Everyone who wants t o ,
regardless of financial stan
ding, should be allowed to
play in intramurals."
A shortage of staff person
nel also curtails activities
since Meier, Ray Chatfield,
assistant intramural director,
and two graduate assistants
"have more work than we can
handle now."
INFORMAL CLUBS cater
ing to special interest groups
should also be included in the
program, but again a
shortage of space has been
the stumbling block, he add
ed. He said a course to upgrade
intramural officiating should
be offered as part of the
University's Physical Educa
tion department curriculum.
A short course for all in
tramural referees is held
prior to the start of each
season, but a semester course
carrying full credit should be
made mandatory for officials
in the intramural program, he
said.
"We should also be able to
assign certain referees to the
games rather than having the
o r g a nization's intramural
manager call the officials for
the games," he said. He add
ed that assigning officials to
games would also eliminate
charges that officials were
partial to a certain squad.

Rodgers desires
good bounces
Kansas coach Pepper
Rodgers always talks in a
positive vein about his offensive-minded
Jayhawks.
"Footballs take funny
bounces sometimes, but,
depending on not having too
many bad bounced go against
us, It will take a real good
team to beat us," he said.

Fewer lwckey games
due to schedule conflicts
Schedule conflicts have
limited the Nebraska Field
Hockey Club to only two
games this fall, according to
Margaret Penney, club
president.
The team usually plays
eight or nine games each fall,
but prior obligations and
commitments during the
regular hockey season rele
gated weekends to practice
sessions. She added that 12
members, mostly staff per
sonel from the Women's
Physical Education depart
Physical Educations depart
ment and University coeds,
will only play a doubleheader
in Lincoln.
The Women's squad will
meet a Northeast Iowa team
from Cedar Falls and a Kan
sas City squad on Oct. 20 in
the Women's Physical educa
tion field.
ALTHOUGH NOT affiliated
or sponsored by the
University, the team is a
member of the United States
Field Hockey Association.
The local team tries to
schedule matches with teams
aligned with the national
organization, but those teams
are no closer than 300 miles
to Lincoln.
"This is our problem," she
said, "there aren't any teams
close to us and on the two
big hockey weekends, most of
our members are tied down
with University com
mitments, such as tests"
A Macomb, HI., umpiring
conference this weekend,
which sponsors several games
for participating teams, and
the Midwest Tournament,
slated for Nov. 9-10 in the
Chicago area, will be
bypassed by the Nebraskans.
She added that a Midwest
Hockey team is selected at
the Chicago event and the
midwest team then competes
on the United States Field
Hockey Team against foreign
teams.
Two years ago, the
Nebraska crew placed one
member on the Midwest's
third team and another player
received an honorable men
tion rating. Last year, the
team compiled a 3-5 record
against teams from Central
Illinois, Minne sota,
Milwaukee, St. Louis and
Iowa.
She said that Mrs. Janette
Sayre and Doris O'DonneU,
both women's physical
education associate pro
fessors, started the Nebraska
program about eight years
ago and have been in
strumental i n maintaining
interest in the sport. Both
have continued working with
the team helping with of
ficiating and occasionally
playing, she said.
Other staff members
playing this fall include
Myreen Loveless, Elizabeth
Petrekis, and Brenda Zeh.
University seniors include
Jan Donnan and Candy
Kreuger.
