Just when it appeared that
Nebraska's baseball team was
in the groove, it was suddenly
side tracked.
The Cornhuskers scored
only two runs in three games as
Oklahoma swept a Big Eight
series at Norman over the
weekend. Husker ace Ryan
Kurosaki, who had the lowest
earned run average in the
conference going into the
series, yielded nine earned runs
in just four innings Friday as
Oklahoma dumped Nebraska,
12-1.
The Sooners scored a 3-1
victory in the opener Friday
and a 1-0 win in Saturday's
game.
The sweep moved
Oklahoma into a tie for first
place with Iowa State. Both
teams have 10-5 marks in the
Big Eight. Nebraska is now in
sixth with a 6-9 league record.

To the average Nebraska
football fan, Bob Devaney is
seen as the kind old coach who
goes around patting little kids
on the head or campaigning for
Easter Seals.
But to the average Nebraska
football opponent next fall,
Devaney is probably viewed as
some kind of magician who
goes around casting evil spells.
Take, for example, Devaney's
statement after viewing
Saturday's intrasquad
scrimmage at Memorial
Stadium.
"OUR OFFENSE and
defense are both ahead of
where they were after spring
practice last year," said
Devaney. "We had an
inexperienced defense last
spring, but this year we have all
veterans up there."
That statement is bound to
scare any opponent next fall.
After all, the Cornhuskers are
the defending national
c h a m p i o n s.And if the
defending national champions
are ahead of last year, any
opposing coach has to take
another look.
As a matter of fact,
Devaney had to search the
back of his mind before finding
any faults with Nebraska's
spring practices.
"WE'RE NOT as well
equipped with receivers as we
have been in the past," said
Devaney. "And we won't be
kicking any 45-yard field
goals. We had better score next
season or else well have to go
to our punters."
Devaney and his staff will
view films this summer and

Husker AU-American line
backer Jerry Murtaugh -signed
Tuesday with the Boston Patriots
of the National Football League
as a free agent. The 6-3,220
pounder was not picked in the
regular pro football draft.
Murtaugh joins Dan
Schneiss, picked in the 11th
round by Boston, on the
Patriots, giving them both
co-captains from the 1970
national champions.
may do some juggling to help
solve the problem of receivers.
SOPHOMORE GLEN
Garson, who was the top
receiver for the freshmen team
last fall, was switched to
defensive back during the
middle of spring practice. But
Devaney indicated that Garson
may be switched back to wide
receiver.
Woody Cox presently holds
down the No. 1 split end
position followed by Frosty
Anderson, Max Linderand Tim
Lackovic.
But the problem of finding
a field goal kicker may not be as
easy to solve. There's no
juggling of positions involved.
It's just finding someone who
can kick fieldgoals.
DARYL WHITE and Bill
Kosch, who both fill starting
positions presently, appear to
be the top candidates for the
kicking job.
But the good Devaney saw
in the intrasquad scrimmage
definitely overshadowed the
bad.
"This was probably as good
as the offense has looked in
any spring game," said
Devaney. "And Steve Runty

(third string quarterback)
looked unusually good."
QUARTERBACK DAVID
HUMM, who guided the
White unit, connected on only
nine of 30 passes. But Devaney
wasn't too alarmed.
"We have to rationalize,"
said Devaney. "We didn't have
our top defensive urtit against
the top offensive unit. Humm
had to go against the No. 1
defense with the No. 2
offensive line blocking.
"Humm still looked pretty
good. He was off target a few
times, but in general he looked
pretty good. It wasn't his fault
that the White unit didn't
move the ball."
BUT WHILE THE White
team didn't score in the first
half and lost the game 64-21,
the first team offensive
enjoyed an explosive
afternoon. The Jerry Tagge
quarterbacked unit passed for
343 yards.
The Nebraska coaching staff
will be studying several
positions this summer. The
biggest battles will be at I-back,
fullback, middle guard and
defensive tackle.
