Husker halfback Joe Orduna wonders if he might have fal len during his touchdown runs in Saturday's game with Wake Forest had the field been of real grass instead of Astro Turf. Saying this, Orduna touched on a question which has been on the minds of many Husker fans recently: "Is Astro-Turf worth it?" Installation of the Astro Turf rug was completed in late July, making Nebraska one of four schools in the Big Eight to install an artificial playing field at a cost of over $250, 000. Another Husker halfback Johnny Rodgers believes that Astro-Turf's biggest asset is that it allows the runner to turn easier. "It also enables you to run faster than on grass," he added. The Astro-Turf has had an affect on the kicking aspect of football. "You don't have any trouble placing the ball, says N.U. place-kicker Paul Rogers. "Its a lot easier to kick on the turf than on grass.' While there is much praise for the Astro-Turf, there 'is some criticism too. "The turf is harder on the regular con ventional type football shoe than regular grass,' says Bib Babcock, N.U.'s equipment manager. "The knees of the pants are really getting worn out fast on the turf."
