fo)F Defense molt dead at NU Murtaugli, mates show skeptics usual muscle RANDY YORK Nabraikan Sports Editor Nebraska's defence gve Corohusker football skeptics a lesson. It Is not only alive and well, but stingier than ever. Linebacker Jerry Murtaugb made the biggest bid In renewing the Husker defensive muslce. But his mates were equally effective in containing Nebraska's top offensive units, steered by quarterbacks Jerry Tagge and Van Brownson in a Sunday scrimmage. NEBRASKA COACH Bob Devaney admitted that the 2-hour drill in which the defense dominated restored his confidence after he criticized the defense for lack of pursuit and pressure last week. "There was a much better force from the defense with a much more aggressive rush on the passer and tough coverage, too," Devaney noted. "There weren't many guys running around open." The top two Nebraska offensive outfits produced only one touchdown in Sunday's session when Jeff Kinney busted one yard on an eight-play, 65-yard drive set up by a 38-yard broken pass play from Brownson to end Guy Ingles. Otherwise, Murtaugh and company kept the offense In check. So much so, in fact, that Tagge suffered a 6-23 passing effort, which included two interceptions. v ' a. r - jNr i . , a Pi I Jerry Matrtaiigh leads defensive charge Jim Anderson reliable old self A K Y P S Y APPEARING 8:30-12:30 - i ' .. . . NIGHTLY Gattmans Jbounge lOth and '0 DINING Til KUOKTTE BROWNSON was more effective with nine completions in 17 attempts for 104 yards. However, Tagge worked entirely against the top defense while Brownson moved against the number two defense, for the most part. Mason, Glover impressive , Junior monster candidate Dave Mason, who suffered a knee injury in the workout, and sophomore tackle Rich Glover, who may be shifted to middle guard, were important front wall defensive fixtures. Reliable junior Jim Anderson, the only returning defensive backfield starter, had his usual good day while Inexperienced Dave Morock and Gary Hollstein showed con siderable strength in number one defenseive back roles. "The offense didn't do a good job of throwing, catching or protecting," Devaney said. "We just did a poor job. I suppose the brightest way to look at it is the defense played well. "I THOUGHT we were stronger at some positions on offense," Devaney continued. "We may have to look carefully to see if we have the right players in the right positions." The offense suffered physically Sunday. Halfback Joe Orduna sustained a new knee injury which may prevent him from participating In the spring windup game May 9. More X-rays are scheduled Thursday. Schneiss, Terrio injured Also, fullbacks Dan Schneiss suffered stretched neck muscles and Bob Terrio a bruised shoulder. JEFF HUGHES, Jim Carstens and sophomore stocking footed kicker Brent LongweO helped Install the Nebraska Eunting game Monday. Schneiss, who handled the duties ist year, was sidelined. LongweOI Is considered the next best punter behind Schneiss. Minor sports aided Corn Cobs give $1,500 Corn Cobs, the Nebraska Men's booster organization, is contributing $1,500 to the Nebraska Athletic Department for use by sports other than football, basketball, and track. JERRY WIRTH, president of the Cora Cobs, made the presentation to Athletic Direc tor Bob Devaney. "Our group felt we should do something constructive for the sports which do not receive as much financial help as football, basketball, and track," Wirth said. "We are all interested In improving the quality of these programs, and also In boosting Interest and enthusiasm for the sports that do not get as much attention." "With this money, the coaches in the respective sports can recruit a student-athlete who can help upgrade that sport" Wirth said. "We have asked the athletic department to designate a recipient of the scholarship aid as a further aid to fan interest." DEVANEY EXPRESSED gratitude for the contribution saying, "I know the coaches appreciate this fine idea of the Corn Cobs and I know they'll find the most capable student athletes to receive this honor next fall."
