Sizewise, Nebraska may
field a highly respectable
freshmen football team this
fall. Of course, football
games aren't won on size
alone, but the other essen
tials such as speed,
quickness, attitude and
desire also have been ap
parent during the first week
of practice, according to
coach Jim Ross.
"We think we have some
big strong prospects, and our
speed looks pretty good,
although any football team
can always use more speed
Ross said. "We've had fine
enthusiasm in practice, but
we still have just a mass of
bodies and we haven't had a
chance to evaluate anyone
yet."
Ross is taking over the
reigns of the freshmen after
spending seven years
coaching defensive backs
with the varsity. He said that
getting acquainted with the
offense again is going to be
one of his main problems to
overcome.
Some of the larger can
didates on this years squiid
are Steve Cook of Oak Park,
111., 6-6 and 250 pounds, Daryl
White from New Jersey, 6-3
and 230, and Marc Douglas, a
6-3, 225 pound Californian.
Ross listed several players
who can run the 40-yard dash
under five seconds. Among
the fastest are John Rodgers
of Omaha, who also is one of
the smaller members of the
team: Randy Curtis, a split
end from Richardson, Texas;
Randv Butts of Grand Island
and Willie Harper, a recruit
from Toledo. Ohio.
The present squad of 53
contains about 30 Nebraska
high school football stan
tkmts. The remaining out-of-staters
include four Califor
nians, who will have in

Saturday's game with

Adding interest to this
year's season is an attempt
to return to one platoon foot
ball. "We want to play the
boys both ways as much as
possible in order to give the
varsity coaches a better
chance to evaluate them next
spring," said Ross. "It's
going to require extra work
for the coaches, but I have
some excellent assistants and
I'm sure we can hand'e it."

Saturday's Southern Cal
Nebraska football game
should be a sign of things to
come, but not necessarily a
carbon copy of players to
see. Players to see at the end
of the season, that is.
The top game of college
football's first 1969 weekend
will be minus many of its
stars, the result of late
developments this week.
It was learned Wednesday
that Nebraska's starting
tight end Jim McFarland
aggravated a thigh injury.
NU Coach Bob Devaney said
he would be a questionable
starter. McFarland Thursday
afternoon still had trouble
walking to classes.
Thursday USC sophomore
quarterback Jimmy Jones,
Southern
By Randy York
Sports Editor
Let's face it. The
University of Southern
California is no tinker toy
with which to open a football
season. Football experts,
those non-entities who do
their thing predicting
theoretical scores, have in
stalled the Trojans as at
least one-touchdown favorites
against Nebraska Saturday.
The experts have adequate
ammunition to support such
instinct. For openers, USC
claims the likes of potential
sophomore quarterback
sensation Jimmy Jones and
tested receiving standout Bob
Chandler. That's not to
mention offensive tackle Sid
Smith and defensive end
Jimmy Gunn, a pair of Ail
American candidates.
It doesn't take the Wizard
of Oz to forewarn
Nebraskans. All of which is
to say that a football
forecaster may go one of two
ways: (1) with the crowd and
choose USC, cr (2) by
himself and pick Nebraska.
And since I'm an off-beat
individualist in this fancy,
frillv, you-gotta-have-a-gim-mick
world, I'm putting my
anemic salary on the
Huskers. But before anyone
registers critical dissent
against such a prediction, let
him analvze:
The Trojans will have at
least nine plavers who will be
seeing their first varsity ac
tion at their respective posi
tions. Nebraska returns 10 of
11 defensive starters for
those who believe the not-so-reliable
adage "a good
defense will always beat a
good offense."
USC coach John McKay
said this week, "Our running
backs have been hurt most of
the time during practice so
far, and the defense still is
not looking the way we hoped
it would. We still don't stop
anyone consistently."
Chandler is the only
Trojan backfield starter with
considerable game ex
perience. Some of the seemingly
favorable points are more
than somewhat shaky like
saying, "Gee, Southern Cal
lost its quarterback, Steve
Sogge. Heck, Jones hasn't

given one of the biggest
preliminary buildups of any
John McKay-coached player,
was declared a doubtful
starter.
He was withheld from the
Trojans' 90-minute Thursday
workout because of a bad
back. An Associated Press
dispatch Thursday reported
Jones "was having trouble
bending over to tie his
shoes."
The Jones setback may be
critical. He was the
overwhelming choice of three
candidates. The other two
quarterbacks listed in the
USC press guide, however,
also are sidelined.
Senior Mike Holmgren,
backup to Steve Sogge last
year and one of the most
publicized quarterbacks to
come out of the northern
Cal is no
game. He's not going to kill
even played in a varsity
everyone right off the bat."
Or Like McKay lamenting,
"We're not looking as well. .
." Every college coach in the
country is the unsatisfied
type. It thus boils down to the
Huskers' defense, the foun
dation of Bob Devaney
coached teams.
Saturday should be Resur
rection City in Lincoln as
Devaney reassembles Humpty
Dumpty with a 17-10 triumph.

last week and was declared
aut indefinitely.
Junior Jim Fassel, who
tossed for four touchdowns
and 181 yards in the Trojan
spring game, wrenched his
right elbow Thursday and is
reportedly having difficulty
hrowing the ball.
The injuries leave McKay
with the seemingly un
believable prospect of open
ing the season without a
quarterback. He theoretically
may be forced to revert to
the team's scout squad,
although no such
quarterback is even listed.

resistant decorative tissue. You can decorate anything beau
tifully with Pomps, iivsido and out, and do it faster, easier,
better. Pomps don't cost much. They're cut 6' x 6 square,
ready to use, come in 20 vivid colors that are virtually run

dealer or peper merchant. And ask your librarian for our
booklet "How to Decorate With Pomps." If she doesnt have
it, just tell her to write for copy. Or, order your own copy.

undergo knee surgery.
Another significant
d evelopment materialized
when Husker quarterback
Jerry Tagge k jured an ankle
in a scrimmage last Satur
day while at the controls of
the No. 1 offensive unit.
Tagge remained slowed by
the injury. Devaney decided
after Wednesday's practice
to open with sophomore Van
Brownson at quarterback.
McFarland's tight end
replacement will be senior
Frank Patrick, who was at
quarterback the last two
seasons in openers against
Washington and Wyoming.
The shuffling injury situa
tion lends an ironic twist to a
release this week in the
Christian Science Monitor by
sports writer Harry Molter,
who wrote:
"This is the land of
cornhuskers
Where football reigns
o'er all,
And Tagge, Brownson,
Dvorsak
Are all throwing that
old ball.
So Coach Devaney tries to
pick n
His quarterback for this
fall:
While Patrick who set
records
And is six feet, seven
inches tall
Sits watching from
Nebraska's bench
But never gets the '
call."
No Southern California
you can't borrow Frank
Patrick. Not even for one
game. He plans on proving a
lot of things to about 67,000
persons Saturday.
Not at quarterback, Harry
Molter. But not on the bench,
either.
