Don't feel sorry for John
Melton. He's really not the
loneliest coach in town.
Melton, the Cornhuskers'
linebacker coach, may have felt
lonely when spring drills
opened and all-American
linebacker Jerry Murtaugh
wasn't back again. But after
one week of practice Melton is
all smiles again.

good,''' said Melton. 4Jerry
(Murtaugh) was a starter for
three years and he's touch to
replace, but I've been satisfied
with the progress we've made."
BOB TERRIO, whose
interception with 45 seconds
left in the Orange Bowl
clinched the national title for
Nebraska last year, returns to
his linebacker position. Terrio
alternated with Pat Morrell, a
two-year letterman, in the
Huskers' first major scrimmage
Saturday.
Murtaugh's vacated position
was filled Saturday by
two-year understudy Bruce
Hauge. Hauge, a 220-pound
junior from Bloomington,
Minn., was redshirted in 1969
before serving as Murtaugh's
backup man last season.
Jerry's a tough guy to try
and follow," admits Hauge.
"But since I'm trying to follow
an all-American I guess it adds
a certain amount of pride to
the job."
Hauge thinks playing behind
Murtaugh has been beneficial
to his football knowledge.
'Jerry's not that big," said
Hauge, "but he has a lot of
quickness. I've watched how he
could use his hands and I hope
to improve my quickness."
BUT HAUGE, although
having the inside track, isn't

Nebraska's track team
opened the outdoor season in
the warm sunshine of the
Texas Relays Friday and
Saturday, but came away with
little more than frustration and
a handful of good individual .
performances.
One of the disappointments
was the Huskers' fourth place
finish in the mile relay, an
event they hoped to win. After
a sizzling 46.5 opening leg by
Leighton Priestley, Nebraska
had the lead. But Wes Leonard
stumbled making the baton
pass to the third runner and
NU lost 20 yards, putting them
out of the race. They went on
to finish in 3:1 1 .8.

the only contender for the
strong side linebacking job.
Letterman Jim Branch and El
Camino, Calif. Junior College
transfer Bill Sloey are also in
contention.
Sloey -worked with the third
and fourth units Saturday
morning, but was invited back
in the afternoon to work with
the top two units.
"Sloey is making progress in
the right direction," said
Husker head coach Bob
Devaney after the Saturday
workouts. "He proved that he
can hit some people."
"Hauge is really being
pressed by Branch and Sloey,"
offered Melton. "That
linebacking job will be a tough
one to get."
Sophomore Jon Strong
from Fremont is also battling
for a linebacking position.
Melton, although pleased
with the progress, says the
linebackers have to improve
more on the running game.
"WE'RE NOT reacting
quick enough to some running
situations," says Melton. "Our
pass coverage has been good,
but we have to improve our
defense on the running game."
Veteran Terrio agrees. "I've
been surprised that we're
working together as well as we
have been," said Terrio. "It's

Carlberg also teamed with

the four-mile Telay with

noteworthy performance by
churning a personal best of

Unicameral backs
national voting
amendment
Nebraska became the
thirteenth state Friday to
ratify the proposed
constitutional amendment to
lower the voting age to 18 in
all elections.
The Legislature voted 32-2
to approve Resolution 31,
sponsored by Sens. P. J.
Morgan, Duke Snyder and
Gerald Stromer and Lt. Gov.
Frank Marsh, the Unicameral's
presiding officer, made the
ratification complete by adding
his signature.
The proposed amendment
needs ratification by 25 more
rtates, or 38 in all, before
becoming part of the U.S.
Constitution.
Prokop will speak
Monday at Smith
A member of the Board of
Regents, Robert Prokop of
Omaha, will speak and answer
questions in the Smith Hall
lounge, Monday evening at
7:30.
The public is invited to
attend.

not easy to develop teamwork
so early, but our pass coverage
has been pretty good."
Terrio also felt lonely when
drills opened last week without
Murtaugh around.
"Sure we miss Jerry," said
Terrio. "It was nice to be
playing on the same team. You
always had confidence that he
could make the tackle. Now we
just have to develop that
confidence in ourselves and I
think we can do it."

With 4-2 and 3-2 losses in
Saturday's twinbill, the
Nebraska Cornhuskers return
from their eight-game series
with Houston sporting just two
victories. The doubleheader
was the second in two days for
the Cornhuskers.
They split with Houston
Friday, winning the first game
4-3 before falling in the finale,
6-1.
In Saturday's first game, the
Huskers used two hits and a
Houston error to score two
unearned runs in the first
inning. But the Houston starter
shutout Nebraska the rest of
the way while his team scored
four runs.
And in the nightcap,
Houston broke a 2-2 tie in the
last inning bunching three hits
to score the winning run. Glen
Gilmore was charged with the
loss while going the distance.
Freshman Ryan Kurosaki
emerged as one of Nebraska's
top hurlers Friday as he threw
a five hitter against the
Cougars. Kurosaki also started
the second game of the series,
throwing five innings of
shutout ball. He was lifted for
a pinch hitter and was not
involved in the decision which
the Huskers subsequently lost,
1-0.
Veteran Gene Stohs picked
up the other Nebraska victory
on the Texas trip when the
Cornhuskers took the series
opener, 9-3.
The Huskers travel to
Boulder Friday for their
Big-Eight opener with
Colorado. The home opener is
April 12 with South Dakota
State.
