Bill Janssen never misses a Nebraska football practice
But he hasn't gone through regular practice drills since the
last week in August.
The reason: Bill suffered a broken arm two weeks before
the regular season opened and has been red shirted for the
1970 campaign. At the time of his injury, Janssen was the number
one Husker center.
But has Janssen let the injury dull his enthusiasm to
play Cornhusker football? Not on your life.
Arm hurts on Saturdays
"It was about the biggest disappointment of my life," said
Janssen as he watched the Huskers go through practice drills
Wednesday. "The arm doesn't feel too bad now, but it always
hurts worse on game days."
Red shirted football players are not required to attend
daily practice sessions. But Bill Janssen is not the average
red shirted player.
"I come out everyday to show that I'm not going to
quit just because of a broken arm," explained Janssen. "I'm
still planning on playing some football at Nebraska."
He is usually on the AstroTurf at 3 p.m. when the Huskers
start drills. Janssen can't do much more than run the stadium
steps. And he does that daily without fail.
... Ff, daily rout'me includes visiting the various units on
the field and offering words of encouragement.
"I've been playing paddle ball to try to keep my right
arm m shape," explained Janssen. "The cast comes off Monday
and it will be at least two weeks before I get the stiffness
back and can start working on the arm."
Plays several positions
But once Janssen gets back in shape for next year, the
problem will be where he will play. But that's an enjoyable
problem for the Nebraska coaching staff. Janssen can play
several positions and he has proved it.
He started as a defensive left tackle for the 1968 freshman
team and shifted to defensive end during his first year of
varsity action in 1969. Janssen lettered at that position before
being shifted to offensive euard in the mWrflo nf th can can
As spring drills concluded, Janssen switched to center and
was in contention with Doug Dumler and Doug "Jamail for
the top position. After the first two weeks of fall camp, Janssen
earned the starting roll before suffering the broken arm.
The starting center position has been held since (and with
authority) by Dumler. And Dumler is only a sophomore.
So where does this leave Janssen when he starts thinking
about 1971? Who knows. His talents leave him wide open for
several positions.
"I really prefer to play defense," said Janssen. "But I
will be happy to play about any position."
Although the Black Shirts will lose Jerry Murtaugh at
linebacker and Dave Morock at monster back, Janssen would
more likely be a top candidate for Ed Perriard's position
at middle guard.
. But it is still 1970 and Bill Janssen is still walking the
sidelines and listening to away games on radio. "It makes
you feel so helpless," explained Bill. "I want to be out there
helping them."
But Bill Janssen is helping the 1970 Cornhusker team simply
by his daily attendance at practice. An individual such as
this is a great compliment to the Nebraska athletic department.

Huskers being hunted
by JEVI JOHNSTON
Associate Sports Editor
It's hunting season in
Nebraska once again. And the
Cornhusker football team could
be the most hunted game in the
state.
The Cowboys from Oklahoma
Stat will bring guns loaded
with all sorts of surprise am
munition in which to shoot
down the high-flying Corn
huskers in Lincoln Satur
day. But Oklahoma State won't be
the first or last team this year
with a legal license to take aim
at Nebraska. Every Husker foe
since the Southern California
game has taken dead aim.
And seme believe if con
sistency pays off, the hunter
will soon get its prey. The only
way that could happen,
however, would be a serious
letdown in the Husker camp.
And although Nebraska
coach Bob Devaney doesn't
expect such a letdown, he ad
mits that such a possibility
does exist.
"On any given week it's
possible for a team to have a
mental letdown," explained
Devaney. ''Everybody is
always up for you if your rated
high nationally."
The Huskers are rated fourth
in both the UPI and AP polls
and are not scheduled to play a
team above them during the
regular season.
"We probably had some sort
of a letdown the week after the
Southern Cal game," said the
Husker boss. "But we learned a
lesson during the first half
against Army that week and I
don't think we have had a
serious letdown since then."
But Devaney knows only too
well that the Cornhuskers have
always had a few games each
year when an underdog has
given them trouble. . Take for
example 1963 when the Huskers
only loss came to Air Force, a
big underdog.
"There's not too much the
coaching staff can do to pre
vent such a letdown," offered
Devaney. "All we can do is just
cover the basic things that
must be covered."
But the 1970 edition of
Nebraska football doesn't ap
pear to have a letdown at-
titude.
"Our seniors and juniors
came off a team last year that
finished the season impressing
a lot of people," explained the
Husker coach. "I think this at
titude of pride has continued
over to these fellas."
But the fact still remains that
the Huskers will be the favorite
team in their remaining
regular season games. Take for
example the Oklahoma State
. game Saturday. Nebraska has
been made a 2 1 - p o i n t
favorite.
This must leave some feeling
to the Nebraska players.
"Those 21 points could mean
something to the players if they
wanted to be fat-headed about
it." said Devaney. "But this
team is intelligent enough to
know that this has nothing
to do with the outcome of
the game."
So the Huskers continue to fly
above the Big Eight field which
is loaded with guns. They have
survived two conference shots
and will try to avoid a third
Saturday.

This is what
we have against
blades
A shaver that shaves as close or closer than
the new platinum and chromium blades.
90 men tested our Norelco Triploheader
:55T utrainst these new blades. Each shaved
one side of hia face with a blade ami the
otherwith the Triplohoador.Our three float
ing heads followed the curves of their faces.
And our eighteen rotary blades shaved in
every direction at once (that's the wav
beards grow).
Blades can't do all this. They're straight.
And that's why serin out of tin nan atd
the Triplelieadtr tthatml them as vhse or
doner than the new Mattes.
What's more, the Triplehender lias a
pop-out trimmer. So you

'Now what blade can
compete with that?
This is what
we have against
other rechargeables
A rechargeable that gives up to twice an
many shaves per ehane as any other re
chargeable. Our Rechargeable Tripleheader 45CT has
all the features of our regularTripleheader.
It has three Microgroove'" floating heads
And eighteen rotary blades that continu
ously sharpen themselves to cut down on
bothersome blade replacement. And a hid

mustaches.
It also has some special features all its
own. A Shave Counter that automatically
counts your shaves and tells you when to
