There's no way getting around it. Kansas will need
a superb effort on both, offense and defense to have hopes
of upsetting the Cornhuskers in Lawrence Saturday.
The Jayhawks do boast an explosive offense, but such,
running machines seem to bring out the best in the Nebraska
defense and the "Black Shirts" could steal the show again
this week.
NEBRASKA 27, Kansas 7 . . . It will take more than
a bomb scare to stop the Huskers in this one.
KANSAS STATE 28, Iowa State 20 . .. . Lynn Dickey
should put the Cyclone's defensive secondary in a whirlwind.
COLORADO 28, Oklahoma 10 . . . The Sooners will have
sour memories from their first game of the year on a real
surface.
NOTRE DAME 21, Missouri 14 . . . The Tigers are in
bad shape physically, but a Dan Devine coached team will
still have a lot of pride.
Huskers lead series
Nebraska holds a solid 52-21-8 advantage in an ancient
series with Kansas. But Jayhawk coach Pepper Rodgers has
stepped in for a 2-1 edge over Devaney-coached teams.
Pepper's initial Kansas team in 196? upset the Huskers,
10-0 in Lawrence for Rodgers' first victory as a head coach.
The Jayhawks won again at Lincoln the following year, 23-13,
before losing a cliff-hanger last fall.
Nebraska will try to. extend its unbeaten string to 13 games.
This streak began a year ago against the Jayhawks when
a late pass interference penalty on fourth down gave Nebraska
the opportunity to overtake Kansaas, 21-17 on Jeff Kinney's
touchdown witth 1:22 remaining.
Ciprianos H usher Honeys
Basketball is a long shot from being the number one sport
at Nebraska. So two basketball-minded females and coach Joe
Cipriano set out to create more interest in the roundball.
An all-girl group, presently called the Husker Honeys, is
being organized to boost the basketball program at Nebraska.
And it can't be denied that the Husker basketball program
needs a boost.
Applications are now being accepted for any girl interested
in joining the "Save basketball at Nebraska" campaign. The
applicants will be interview jd by members of the local Rebound
Club and the basketball coaching Ltaff. Approximately 25 girls
will be selected for membership.
"We just felt that there was an over-emphasis on football
and a lack of it for basketball," explained one of the student
organizers, Vicki Nissen. "We're trying to create more interest
in basketball by painting signs and greeting opposing teams."
Vicki, a sophomore from Miller, S. Dak.,, is the sister
of Husker basketball standout Al Nissen. Janet Lampshire is
also active In organizing the group.
Plans are still sketchy as to what the actual duties of
the Husker Honeys will be, but promoting the first annual
Husker Basketball Classic will definitely be on the list.
"We hope this will be a boost to our program," offered
coach Joe Cipriano. "We want to show our opponents and
other people that basketball does have a following at
Nebraska."
By the way application blanks have been coming in, it
appears that the group will be a success. Girls may pickup
application blanks at the basketball office in the Coliseum,
in room 121 at Nebraska Hall or at the SUident Activities
room in the Student Union.

Nebraska basketball star
Marvin Stewart sat out the last
half of last year because of
scholastic ineligibility. This fall
after a lot of hard work and
study, he is back on the
team.
Stewart, who was- one of
three black basketball players
taken off the team last year
because of scholastic dif
ficulties, said there were no
racial implications in regard to
his being taken off the team.
"What happened to me was
just my fault," Stewart said. "I
don't feel that anything that
was done against me was
because of prejudice."
Nebraskans gain
All-American
consideration
Four more Big Eight Confer
ence players, including three
from Nebraska, were nomin
ated Thursday for the 1970 ail
American football team.
The Husker nominees are of
fensive halfback Johnny Rod
gers and defensive tackles
Dave Walline and Larry Jac
obson. Nebraska linebacker
Jerry Murtaugh was nominated
earlier in the year bringing
the total to four Huskers.
Offensive guard Dennis Hav
ig of Colorado was also men
tioned from the Big Eight
this week.
During the second semester,
he devoted the majority of his
time to studying. He also at
tended summer school to help
raise his grades.
"I had a good enough grade
point average to play basket
ball," Stewart explained, "I
just didn't have enough hours
credit. I took the minimum
number of 12 hours per
semester and when I failed one
course, I lost my eligibility.
The course that pulled
Stewart down was a physical
education course. Physical
education courses are thought
to be rather easy by a number
of college students but Stewart
disagrees. "I think the physical
education courses here at
Nebraska are quite difficult,"
" . . :!'" ft
said Stewart "And being a
physical education major isn't
anything to laugh at."
Husker basketball coach Joe
Cipriano was a key figure in
helping Stewart raise his
grades. Coach Cipriano was
really concerned about me,"
Stewart explained. "He made
sure that I went to all of my
classes second semester and to
summer school. He also helped
me get a job this summer."
Now that he's back in good
academic shape, Stewart hopes
to graduate in a year or so and
possibly give professional
basketball a try.
Stewart has some advice for
students with low grades. "It's
just as easy to bring your
grades up as it is to bring them
down."
Cross country

In which the candid connoisseur
answers questions about
Beer, and the drinking of same.
DEAR ED: Every now and then,
I see guys putting salt in their
beer. What's it all about?
ALFIE
DEAR ALFIE: I'll tell you what
it's about . . . it's about to drive
me crazy! Now, I have nothing
against salt. On hard-boiled eggs.
Or french fries. But not in my
Bud..
Putting salt in beer, some say,
perks up the head ... or livens
up the taste . . . makes the beer
"drier." With Budweiser, though,
all salt can do is make it salty.
Because Bud is already just about
perfect.
So save the salt for the popcorn, please. We put heart, soul and our exclusive Beechwood
Ageing into Budweiser. All you need to enjoy it is a glass ... or drink it right from the can,
if that's your bag ...
