The game pits a surpris ingly solid Wildcat outfit against a Nebraska club with ,i revenge motive. The Huskers, dumped 12-0 by In state in their Homecoming date last year, must win to keep alive their Big Eight Conference title aspirations as well as prospective bowl bids. Likewise, Kansas State, with a mathematical chance to capture the league cham pionship, seeks a post-season bowl berth. Representatives from the Gator and Liberty bowls have indicated an in terest in each team. The Wildcats, who have p ressed nationally-ranked Penn State and Missouri to 3 point decisions, feature an explosive offense and an ex perienced defense. Quarterback Lynn Dickey, mentioned as a possible Heisman Trophy candidate, triggers the Wildcat machine which has averaged 35 points in eight games. The Big 8's total offense and passing pacesetter. Dickey has passed for 1,821 yards for a 227.6 yard per game average. However, he also leads the league in throwing interceptions, misfiring 17 into enemy hands in 276 passes. Nebraska coach Bob Devaney, who drilled his club extensively this week on defensive pass rushing, says the key to beating the Husker harriers to run in NCAA The Nebraska cross country team's schedule has been expanded to include one more meet this fall. The Huskers, after a vote of the squad Wednes day, will be competing in the NCAA championships, according to Coach Frank Sevigne. The meet will be held on Nov. 24 at Manhattan College in New York City. Sevigne said that there are no requirements to be met by individuals or teams to compete in the NCAA cross country meet like there are for the track meet. "It's up to the individual school to decide if they want to compete," he said. This will be the first time a Nebraska cross country team has competed in the NCAA champion ships, Sevigne said. The Huskers will take a second place finish in the Big Eight conference meet and a 31 dual meet record to the national meet. Sevigne said he would take his top five runners to New York: Pete Brang, Greg Carlberg, Jim Lang, Mel Campbell and Bob Tupper. "The guys are real anxious to go," he said. "If everyone is right we should be able to finish in the top 10." Sevigne indicated there wa some hesitation involved in making the decision to compete because of the status of Tupper. "He has been hurt and hasn't been running up to par," Sevigne said. "This was the question mark in deciding if we would go or not."

NU defensive ends Mike Wynn and Sherwin Jarmon, ho overwhelmed Iowa State quarterback Obert Tisdale last week, are the chief threats for such a plan to work out. Tisdale endured 97 minus rushing yards last week. The Husker defenders have in dicated a duplicate effort against K-State. After the Cyclone game, Husker defensive back Dana Stephenson pointed to Dickey, the white-shoed, junior quarterback. Jarmon says Dickey presents his truest challenge ever.

The Husker frosh, who own a 2-1 record, have dumped each of their two Big 8 foes this season: Missouri, 42-19 in Columbia and Iowa State, 20- 7 in Lincoln last week. Nebraska's only setback is a 21- 13 decision against MeCook Junior College.

K-State also owns an im pressive rushing game despite Dickey's affinity to passing. Mack Herron has accounted for a 58.0 per game rushing average while Mike Montgomery has 335 net yards, a per game output of 41.9. Fullback Russ Har rison, the ex-Omaha Tech standout, is responsible for 34 ground yards per game. The Huskers thus must meet a balanced rushing at tack and a potent aerial game. Both K-State coach Vince Gibson and Devaney said this week they expect the game to develop into a passing duel. Nebraska's passing effort rides on the arm of sophomore starter Jerry invade and Kansas. Missouri bested the Wildkittens, 43-0 last week. Nebraska freshman coach Jim Ross has been con centrating on a defensive pass rush in practice sessions quarterback Lynn Dickey, likes to pass frequently. He fired 43 times in ttie opening loss to KU and threw 38 times in a win over Oklahoma State. K-State coach Dean Pryor has been hurt with key in juries in the last two weeks, Ross said. He added, however, that K-State ex poets to be in better physical shape for the Cornhuskers. Ex-Otuaha Tech standout halfback Johnny Rodgers paces the Husker yearlings, lie has accounted for 605 yards in rushing, receiving and return yardage in three games. He's the team leader In four individual statistical categories: rushing with 166 yards on 38 carries; receiv ing with 157 yards on 10 catches; kickoff returns with 75 yards in three runbacks; and punt returns with 207 yards in 11 attempts Ross indicated Thursday he would again start Plattsmouth native Max L i n d e r at quarterback Ogallala native Steve Runty may see early duty, however.

Tagge's figures have been compiled despite being sub jected to occasional bench duty while fellow soph Van Brownson directed the Husker attack. Brownson and Tagge are comparable passers in the accuracy department. Brownson has completed 36 of 67 for a .537 completion mark while Tagge is clicking at a .586 average on 92 com pletions in 157 tosses, the league's best. If the game does evolve into a passing contest, Nebraska may have the ad vantage. Although the Huskers are second behind K-State in passing offense, Nebraska leads the league in passing defense. The Wildcats rank fifth in that department. Nebraska Although Nebraska's bas ketball team returns 97 per cent of the offense it gener ated last season, Husker boss Joe Cipriano still says de fense remains the key to a high conference finish. Cip foresees a tough pre conference schedule as more of a challenge than a head ache. Much of his optimism in facing such foes as Du quesne. Houston and Arizona is rooted to the Huskers' de fensive improvement. "We seem to be improving in every practice defensive ly." he says. "If we keep improving like we have been, we're going to be a much better defensive team than last year." "What everything boils down to is basic fun damentals," Cipriano says. "About 50 per ctnt of our Venture: Purify water with the fiber that made men whistle. Nylon. Reverse osmosis. A fiber that started making girls' legs more beauti ful some 30 years ago. And a process that's been around a lot longer. But when Du Pont scientists and engineers look at them in a new way, they combine into an idea that can change the world. Reverse osmosis is a purification process that requires no phase change. It's potentially the cheap est way to desalinate water. Du Pont's innovation ? Hollow, semipermeable ny lon fibers much finer than human hair. Symmetrical, with an outer diameter of .002 inch and a wail thick ness of .0005 inch, with an accuracy of manufacture maintained at close to 100. Twenty-five to 30 million of them encased in a precisely engineered unit 14 inches in diameter by 7 feet long. The result: a semipermeable surface area of about 85.000 square feet the size of a 2-acre lot and up to 10,000 gallons of desalted water per day. So far "Permasep" permeators have been used experimentally to purify brackish and polluted water, and in various industrial separations. But the po tential to desalt seawater, too, is there. So Du Pont scientists and engineers are even now working toward improved fibers, units and plant designs that should make it possible to get fresh water from salt at a price that any town or nation can afford. Innovation applying the known to discover the unknown, inventing new materials and putting them to work, using research and engineering to create the ideas and products of the future this is the venture Du Pont people are now engaged in.

By RANDY YORK Nebraskan Sports Editor Satchell Paige couldn't have said it any better when he once offered, "Never look behind; someone may be gaining on you." The Huskers' are tied for the league lead with Miccnnri uith 4.1 rpfnrrl Kansas State, saddled with two conference setbacks, still has a shot at the crown, providing the Huskers and Mizzou stumble in their last two games. It's doubtful that he was talking about Kansas State's revitalized football program, but the wisdom can nevertheless apply to the Wildcats. Nebraska looked behind K-State somewhat last year. The Wildcats capitalized, registering one of the biggest conference upsets in the last decade, a 12-0 shutout in Lincoln. Nebraska, however, can't afford to look behind this season. K-State has changed roles and, perhaps, for the first time last week was caught looking behind itseif. Oklahoma State dampened the Wildcats' title hopes with a 28-19 hijack at Stillwater. Stumbling is not completely out of the question either. This corner missed the Oklahoma State- sur prise last week despite advance warning from fellow staffers John Dvorak and Steve Sinclair. . The blunder lowered the season batting average to .767 with 33 correct picks in 43 guesses. This week's effort calls for: Nebraska 27, Kansas State 17 Both teams be lieve in life after death. Each entertains bowl bids. That is, providing it wins. K-State has been flashy, but, at times, defensively deficient. The Husker Black Shirts get stingier every week. Lynn Dickey and Mack Herron were somewhat frustrated last week. Saturday they will be frustrated.

Oklahoma 28, Kansas 21 The Jayhawks arc more than a hard luck case. They have dropped five straight conference games, four of which have been by four points or fewer. Oklahoma, meanwhile, feel if a team is going to get beat, it might as well lose big. The Sooners feel like winning all the time in Norman, however. Colorado 21, Oklahoma State 17 Everybody is still recovering from the Cowboy shock against K-State. including Oklahoma State.
