Devaney begins second 100 wins at
C-State?
It would be hard to convi
nce Nebraska football coach
Bob Devaney that he's
starting things all over
again.
Devaney's first victory as
a collegiate head coach was
recorded in 1957, a 12-6
University of Wyoming
verdict over Kansas State.
. Thirteen years later, the 8
year Nebraska boss starts
! s bid on the second 100
against Kansas State after
; e Huskers dumped Iowa
S.ate, 17-3 Saturday.
"The 101st means more
right now," Devaney said.
He added that' Nebraska
must win its remaining two
games at Manhattan and
against Oklahoma at
Norman, if the Huskers are
to win or share of the Big
Eight Conference cham
pionship. "It doesn't look like
Missouri is going to lose any
more," Devaney said, refer
ring to the Tigers' remaining
engagements against Iowa
State and Kansas.
' couldn't sleep
all last nigh?
by Randy York
Nebruskan Sports Editor
For a guy who couldn't sleep the night before the
game and who couldn't practice the entire week, Wayne
Beske gave a pretty impressive account of himself.
His Iowa State team absorbed a 17-3 setback against
Nebraska Saturday, but offensive center Eeske feels he
did well against Husker middle guard Ken Geddes. Well,
that is, when Geddes lined up in front of him.
"He's the best nose guard I've ever played against,"
Beske says of Geddes. "He has tremendous ability to run
around things. He's got good instinct.
"I felt 1 handled him well in some situations," Beske
offered. "I couldn't sleep all last night. I knew I had
a double barrel on my hands. Geddes may be ail-American."
While Beske gave Geddes a solid promotional plug,
Cyclone coach Johnny Majors gave Beske one. "He's the
best center in the conference," Majors says, "and he's
the best center I've ever been associated with. When Geddes
lined up in front of him, he did a good job of keeping
him out."
Beske, a 235-pound package of muscle from Minneapolis,
missed the week's Cyclone workouts before the Nebraska
game because of an elbow injury, "lie couldn't even move
his arm Thursday when we worked out in sweat clothes,"
Majors commented.
When did Beske know he could play? "Not until we
went out on the field," Beske said as team trainers scissored
him out of his jersey. "I had a lot of trouble getting
my jersey on, but I tried to psyche myself out of any
pain."
The fifth best college heavyweight wrestler in the coun
try last year, Beske succeeded in psyching himself out.
He played and played well, but he saw a 5-year dream
evapoi-te in the Cyclone loss.
"If there was one team I wanted to beat in my career,"
he said, "it was Nebraska, and I don't know really why
it's like that. It's a tremendous, hard-hitting rivalry. There
was a lot of punching in today's game. It's just natural,
I guess."
"The funny thing about it," Beske continued, "is I
always wanted to play for Nebraska when I was in high
school. Being from Minnesota, all I ever heard was Big
10 this and Big 10 that. I knew the Big 8 was tougher
though. Nebraska was the toughest Big 8 team around
then, and it may be now. I just don't know why I didn't
come here. I was recruited, but just liked Iowa State.
Beske, in obvious pain after the game, said his injury
dpvplotvprl In rht Okhihnma tr:ini a vl'uuIc aim "I tint nutirrhr Slows
, ... ... .............. 0.....c ... . Bv . ...-,.. M,riona,j
between two guys' helmets," he said. It was painful. I
couldnt move my arm, and I didn't have any feeling
in my fingers. I don't have any feeling In my fingers
now either."
Saturday's situation was too competitive to bypass,
however. "It was a matter of keeping my reputation up
against the best," he said. "I've been around five years.
I was redshirted a year, and this was one last crack
against Nebraska. I didn't want to miss It for anything."
Beske's dream of Iowa State toppling the Huskers never
materialized. When he was a freshman, Nebraska dumiwd
the Cyclones, 44-0. The four Husker wins since that triumph,
however, have been hard-earned. Scores of 12-6, 12-0 and
24-13 preceded this year's result.
"I wish we had about 20 pounds more on each man,"
Beske says. "You need It to survive when you play
ieorasKa.
Mizzou, '4-1 in the con
ference and 7-1 overall, and
Nebraska, 6-2 overall, are
tied for the league lead. All
other Big Eight teams are
pinned with at least two loop
losses.
While Husker co-captaln
Dana Stephenson p r e -calculated
plans, Devaney
said it was too early for
"bowl talk."
Stepehenson conceived the
post-game 100th Devaney
celebration with a large
Centennial-type cake.
Asked what would have
happened ' to the cake or
celebraation plans if the
Huskers had not won,"
Stephenson said, "That's a
good question. I never
thought of it."
He did, however, think of
Kansas State and its white
shoed, record-setting
quarterback, Lynn Dickey.
"We want to show them that
class doesn't make a football
team," Stepehenson said.
"We act as a team. We dress
as a team. We win as a
team."
Easy to lose
Apparently, K-State, tied
for tne conference lead with
Missouri and Nebraska
before Saturday, already
discovered how easy it is to
lose.
The n a tionally-ranked
Wildcats and tneir pro-type
passer, Dickey, stumbled
against Oklahoma State at
Stillwater after leading 13 0.
The Cowboys scored 21 third
quarter points enroute to a
28-19 upset.
Nebraska defensive end
Sherwin J a r in o n , like
Stephenson, is also pointing
to ttie K-Siate challenge.
"Dickey will be my real
challenge," said Jarmon,
who more than warmed up
for the effort by tackling
Cyclone quarterback Obert
Tisdule for minus yardage
six times.
Tisdale, who once was
spilled before a fake Cyclone
field goal got off the
launching pad, admittedly
made an understatement: "I
saw a lot more of (Mike)
Wynn and Jarmon than I
would have liked to have
seen," he said.
"I was hoping we could
contain them a little better
than we did," Tisdale added.
"Sometimes it got pretty
frustrating."
Frustration is the most
important part of the Husker
Black Shirt defenders. The
victims of only, 47 points in
five conference games, the
Black Shirts Saturday drop
ped Tisdale behind the line of
scrimmage 12 times for 97
minus yards.
Linebacker Jerry
Murtaught again paced the
tackle statistics with 12
stops, followed by tackle Bob
Liggett with 11, Geddes with
10 Jarmon with nine and
monster man Al Larson with
eight.
No bona fide starting
Husker starting quarterback
emerged from the Iowa State
game. Van Brownson
engineered seven first half
points. Backup Jerry Tagge
steered the Huskers to 10 se
cond half points.
First score
Brownson scored the first
touchdown on a one-yard
plunge in a drive featuring a
69-yard pass to tight end Jim
McFarland, who admitted
after the game that he wish
ed he could have had a "se
cond wind" after catching
the ball in a crowd of no one.
Paul Rogers kicked a 30
yard third-quarter field goal
to' give the Huskers a 10-3
cushion. Tagge completed his
first eight passes in the
march which led to the field
goal.
Co-captain and fullback
Mike Green snagged a 9-yard
Scoring pass from Tagge
later in the third period to
account for the remainder of
Nebraska's scoring.
Devaney said the Huskers
cannot entertain bowl
thoughts before playing their
last two games. "We have to
win these last two before
that," the nation's winningest
coach said.
ft t5r
Nebraska's freshman team,
getting another superlative
Johnny Rodgers effort, t o p
pled Iowa State's yearlings,
20-7 Friday. Rodgers and
fullback Bill Olds each
scored 2-yard touchdowns
and Daryl White kicked 21
and 30-yard field goals to ac
count for Nebraska's scoring.

The Nebraska cross coun
try team completed one of its
most successful seasons in
history Saturday with a se-
r.nnrl nhlpo finish in thfl Bid
VUlrt - ' ' " " "
Eight cross country meet.
"We were very happy with
our performance, s a 1 c
Husker coach Frank Sevigne
"It has been a long time
since we finished that high."
Tho Huxkers won the con
ference championship in 1940
and had never nnisneci se
cond until this year. NU has
five third places to its credit,
the last one in 1962.
The Huskers were never
really in contention for the
top spot as champion Kansas
outdistanced the field.
Nebraska avenged its only
regular season dual loss by
edging Missouri in the
scramble for second place.
Pete Brang was the top
Husker individual for the se
cond straight year. Brang
finished third, improving on
his sixth place finish last
year.
The Husker senior matched
strides with eventual cham
pion Jerome Howe of Kansas
State until the last 150 yards.
Season-long pacesetter Jim
Lang was the next best
Husker finisher, with an 8th
plaee performance. Greg
Carlbcrg was 15th and Mel
Campbell 20th.
"Under the circumstances
we did about as well as we
could have," Carlberg said,
expressing some disap
pointment in his own
performance.
Carlberg explained that the
bad circumstances consisted
of competing against Kansas.
Lang agreed with
Carlberg.
"There were five guys
from Kansas, who finished
right behind me," he said.
"When I passed them all
bunched together, I . knew it
w;is over for us."
"I would have liked to
finish higher," Lang said,
"but I run out of gas at the
end."

forward to next year. "We
should have a good team,"
he said, "but it will be hard
to replace guys like Brang,
Campbell, and Bob Tupper."
Top Husker returners next
fall will be Lang, Carlberg,
Mike Lee. sidelined this fall
with mononucleosis, and Jim
Hawkins, a promising
freshman sidelined this fall
with an injury.
Sevigne indicated the team
would not be competing in
the NCAA meet this fall. This
had been mentioned as a
possibility if the Huskers
performed well in the Big
Eight meet.
"We're going to con
centrate now on the indoor
track season," he said.
"Practice will begin after
Thanksgiving vacation."
