I Colorado Upsetr
The New York Mets have
already proven that un
derdogs are a danger signal.
It'i a universal precept.
Nebraska, a 9 Vi - p o i n t
favorite over Texas A & M
Saturday, needs no reminder.
Kansas State last season
wiped out any superior no
tions. The Huskers face an inex
perienced football team,
which was unimpressive in a
35-6 opening loss to LSU.
Nebraska impressed its
sideline skeptics in a 10-point
setback to Southern Cal.
If both teams give repeat
performances, Nebraska
should win. Eut NU coach
Bob Devaney assures fans
that the Aggies will be a
tough opponent and cautions
against a letdown.
Letdowns, however, do oc
cur. Starting split end Guy
Ingles was sidelined early in
the week with a light case of
pneumonia. He was released
from Student Health
Wednesday and Devaney in
dicated "spot duty" for
him.
The setback came on the
heels of Joe Orduna's loss.
The leading 1968 Husker
scorer and rusher, will be on
the sidelines for the second in
at least a 5-game sequence.
Texas A & M also will be
without the services of its top
back field prospect. Tailback
Larry Stegent, who helped
guide the Aggies to the
Southwest Conference title
and Cotton Bowl triumph
over Alabama two years ago,
will miss Saturday's game
with a pulled hamstring. He
sustained the injury in fall
drills and also missed A &
M's opener.
Ex-Nebraska quarterback
Patrick gets his second st
raight starting call Saturday.
He is expected to fill Ingles's
vacancy after starting for
injured tight end Jim
McFarland last week.
Devaney said McFarland
should be ready Saturday. If
the North Platte senior isn't
ready, Devaney indicated
Patrick would again start in
his place. Patrick, not as
quick or as shifty as Ingles,
was praised for his blocking
efforts against USC. He also
snagged a pair of passes for
29 yards.
The only other Husker
lineup change involves
defensive end Sherwin Jarm
on who was suspended by the
university for this week. BUI
Janssen, a sophomore from
Grand Forks, N.D., will
replace Jarmon. Another
change may affect the
Huskers' backfield where
sophomore Jeff Kinney, who
made a 12-yard touchdown
last week, may replace
Frank Vactor, NU's leading
ground-gainer.
Devaney also indicated
possible heavy duty for
sophomore offensive end
Dave Mason, who may start
at split end, if Patrick is
forced to start at tight end.
Mason, a Green Bay, Wis.,
product, was one of the
Huskers leading 1968 frosh
receivers.
Van Brownson, who com
pleted seven of 11 pass at
tempts last week for 61
yards, has been designated to
start at quarterback again.
Backup Jerry Tagge, another
sophomore who has com
pleted eight of fourteen
tosses for 76 yards, is still
bothered with a 2-week-old
ankle injury.
Co-captain and fullback
Mike Green and wingback
Larry Frost retain their
starting status. The offensive
line also remains intact with
Glenn Patterson at center,
Gale Williams and Carl
Ashman at guards, and
Wally Winter and Paul
Topliff at tackles.
Adrian Fiala may start
ahead of Dan Kobza at one of
the linebacking posts,
Devaney said. With this ex
ception and Janssen's
replacement of Jarmon, the
defensive lineup remains the
same.

Nebraska's cross country
team isn't going to surprise
anyone this year. Everybody
is back from last year's
team, which finished fourth
in the Big Eight and showed
great improvement over the
previous year.
"We think we have the best
material and potential that
Nebraska has ever had,"
said assistant coach Dean
Brittenham.
"Workouts have been real
good this fall," he said. "A
couple of boys have really
improved, so that our top six
or seven runners have been
pretty even so far."
Heading the list of
returnees are Pete Brang of
Baldwin Park, Cal., who
finished sixth in last year's
Big Eight chase, ar 1 Greg
Carlberg of Omaha, who
finished seventh.
Mike Lee of Seattle, Wash.,
Bob Tupper of Omaha, and
Mel Campbell of Ainsworth
have improved considerably,
according to Brittenham.
Joining in the battle for the
top seven spots for next
Saturday's opener at Kansas
State are Jim Lang of
Omaha, who was out with an
injury last year, Jim
Hawkins of Omaha, and Tim
Snyder of Lincoln.
Hawkins is the only
freshman Coach Frank
Sevigne is counting on this
fall.
"The first meet with
Kansas State will be
especially tough," Brit
tenham said. "Kansas will
have its whole team back
again this year and will be
trying to get a little
revenge." NU upset Kansas
State in Lincoln last year, 24
33. Brittenham sees the Big
Eight race as a tough
scramble with Nebraska,
Missouri, and the two Kansas
schools having a shot at the

championship.
Defending champion
Kansas should be the favorite
again, with most of its team
back, according to Brit
tenham. The NCAA has made the
cross country course a mile
longer this year to four
miles.
Brittenham said the new
distance will probably benefit
Nebraska. The Husker run
ners are basically longer
distance men, he said, while
many conference schools
prefer halfmilers.

By Randy York
Sports Editor
To gain any eminence in
his field, a football forecaster
puts himself on the firing
line. He sifts through various
matchups and picks a
headliner. He may then go
the wrong way with the
wrong team. He probably
gets more feedback that
way.
Such was the case last
week. I decided to go with
Nebraska over USC. Jim
my Jones' alleged back
prompted such a decision.
Propaganda, however,
prevailed, and the forecaster
stumbled on two of eight Big
Eight picks.
Kansas was the other miss.
KU blew a fourth-quarter
lead at Texas Tech, then
proceeded to get mauled in
the last five minutes.
Similar shenanigans should
not materialize this week.
Three conference clubs may
get a proper burial, but not
in the fashion of the Jay
hawks' 38-22 tailspin.
Saturday's Big Eight
headliner pits second-ranked
Penn State against Colorado
at Boulder.
The Buffaloes, behind
super-charged Bob Anderson,
scored 35 points in then
opener last week against
Tulsa. Pre-season blueprints
have not indicated any
overwhelming Colorado
surprises, but the Buffs,
playing at home, are capable
of such.
So, if a person wanted to be
slow-witted enough, he could
defy logic somewhat and pick
Colorado. The forecaster
feels he doesn't even need to
qualify himself.
It well could be a sequel to

pectations. He has enough
clairvoyance to pick Col

Just Anderson scoring
three touchdowns in a 21-17
upset.
The rest of the dictions are
not as absurd. A booming
conference spirit, however, is
detectable. I see seven of
the eight league outfits win
ning. NEBRASKA 28, TEXAS
A & M 10 If the Huskers
can score 21 points against
USC, they should get at least
that much against the inex
perienced Aggies. The
Husker defense cannot afford
to collapse, but as one fan
shrewdly wrote to Omaha
World-Herald sports editor
Wally Provost: one "should
remember that the Black
Shirts have given up 78
points in their last two
games."
Kansas 21, Syracuse 17
The Jayhawks' opener left
something to be desired, but
Syracuse didn't exactly
shock anyone with its 1-point
win over Iowa State.
Iowa State 17, Brigham
Young 14 The Cyclones
created more wind in its
opening loss thas many
teams do with a win. Now,
they'll really have something
to talk about. They get a 3
point homefield advantage.
Oklahoma 49, Pittsburgh 14
Pitt may as well concede
three touchdowns to Steve
Owners alone. The rest of the
Sooners, however, know
where the double stripe is
too.
Missouri 35, Illinois 0 .
It's almost obtuse to predict
a shutout, but even if
Missouri was playing Notre
Dame, it wouldn't be out of
the question. The Tigers, who
had to struggle against Air
Force last week, get a
breather before tackling
Michigan next week.
Houston 35, Oklahoma
State 21 The Cowboys need
some sort of retaliation after
failing to score last week.
They should score this time,
but not enough against a
mucbquicker team .
Arkansas proved last week
that Oklahoma State does not
like to play quick teams.
Kansas State 31, Baylor 21
How many persons said K
State would score 45 points in
its first game? The Wildcats,
with their pro-type passer,
Lynn Idckey, decide to pro
vide further reinforcement at
the expense of another pro
oriented offensive team.
