zig-zagged back and forth dur
ing the entire game with the
Phi Delts hanging on to a 13 to
7 half-time lead.
The second half of play pro
ved to be the turning point. Phi
Delta Theta's defensive squad
was holding down the Dirty
Dozen's ground game. Twice
during the second half of play
the Dirty Dozen were within
Phi Delts 10 yard line but each
time the rugged Phi Delt
defense was able to hold the
Dirty Dozen.
The 26 to 20 win gave the Phi
Delts their second All-
University flag-football title in
tne past three years.
Can a young man have both
knees operated on and still play
football?
Well, if that young man's
name is Joe Orduna, the
answer is a resounding, "Yes
and Amen."
Orduna one year ago this
week was still recovering from
a knee operation which came
after a severe injury in fall
practice. But following the
Kansas State game one year
later, Orduna was tabbed the
back of the week by Sports Illus
trated. Last year, when he didn't
share in the winning of the Big
Eight title or the Sun Bowl
victory, some wondered if Joe
would play next season.
Then, in spring practice Joe
came back so far that he had
coach Bob Devaney smiling in
anticipation of a doable-barreled
I-back attack, featuring
Orduna and Jeff Kinney.
But Orduna was fated to be
tested once again. A blindside
tackle dropped him in agony
during a spring scrimmage. He
was helped off the field and
headed for the hospital. This
time it was his other knee and
another operation.
Would he ever play again?
Some folks doubted that Joe
would be able to play at all, let
alone near his former great
style which enabled him to
start as a sophomore (1967)
and lead the Cornhuskers in
rushing in 1968.
But the former Omaha Cen
tral star never wavered In bis
determination or his faith in
God that all would turn out for
the best "God had a plan for
me," Joe once said, "and it
was up to me to follow and do
the best I could."

by JIM JOHNSTON

Oklahoma, Nebraska's foe at
Memorial Stadium Saturday
afternoon, is averaging 21.6
points per game.
But the Sooners are far
ahead of most conference
teams in the winning depart
ment. And it's not because they
have a stingy defense.
The Sooners are fourth in the
Big Eight scoring column and
fifth in defense. And those
statistics aren't too impressive
for a still title contender.
But OU coach Chuck
Fairbanks doesn't worry much
about statistics. He is more
concerned with winning and he
does it by controlling the foot
ball. The Sooners' reasoning is
simple: If you keep the ball
away from the opposition they
can't score. This is the first
control type team Nebraska .
has played since Colorado.
"Against teams like
Oklahoma State, Iowa State

way, he said: "I really missed
Jeff out there today I was
getting tired, and needed him.
Also, he'd have gotten the ball
Into the end zone for those
touchdowns sooner than I did."
Orduna may find the job all
his against Oklahoma again
this week. Kinney's - injured
shoulder has not improved as
expected.
and Kansas State we got the
ball back quickly on intercep
tions," offered Devaney. "But
the only way you can stop
Oklahoma is to stop their run
ning game."
This is not to suggest,
however, that Oklahoma
quarterback Jack Mildren
doesn't throw the football.
True, he's thrown only 97 times
this year while a pass-minded
fella like Lynn Dickey has
thrown 326 times.
But Mildren uses the pass as
a surprise. And he's thrown six
TD passes while Dickey has
seven. Mildren has tossed a 75
yarder to Willie Franklin
against Iowa State and found
Pruitt for 60 and 34-yard scor
ing completions in the Missouri
game.
The Wishbone T may limit
the Sooners passing game, but
Jack Mildren's surprises can
not be overlooked.
