faculty or staff members and
S8.50 for students. Only a
limited number of reservations
will be accepted, and tickets

obtained at the Recreation and
Intramurals Office at 1740
Vine Street.
Dumler can't play.
Devaney said Minnesota will
present different problems for
the Huskers than what they
saw against Oregon.
"Oregon played basically an
even defensive front," said
Devaney. "Minnesota plays an
odd front line and a five-man
rush naturally puts more
pressure on your passer."
The Gophers, expected to
be weak on defense from
pre-season publicity, held
Indiana scoreless in taking a
28-0 win.

The frequency of ties in flag football games last year has
caused the University of Nebraska Intramurals Department to
make some rule changes.
The tie-breaking rule contains a double insurance policy that
the game will not end in a tie. The rule says an official must
record each time a team penetrates inside the opponents' 1 S-yard
line. If a game is tied at the end of regulation play, the team
which penetrated inside its opponents' 15-yard line the most
times will be the winner.
If both teams record the same amount of penetrations inside
the 1 5, then the ball will be placed in the middle of the field and
each team will be allowed to run four alternating plays.
At the end of the eight plays, the team that has advanced the
ball into its opponents' territory will be the winner.
The other rule change concerns extra-points. A team will be
awarded two points if it runs for an extra-point and one point for
a pass completion. In the past, one point was awarded for either a
run or pass.
More than 2,200 students will be competing in flag football
this fall.
Dickey doing okay
Former Kansas State quarterback Lynn Dickey, who owns
every Big Eight passing record, is becoming a household name in
Houston, Tex.
Dickey was bypassed until the third round of the pro football
draft last year when the Houston Oilers made their claim.
Dickey's selection came after the Oilers had snatched Santa
Clara's publicized quarterback Don Pastorini in the first round.
But Dickey wasn't discouraged.
"I don't want to be traded," Dickey told reporters. "I feel I
have an equal chance with Pastorini. Don's a good quarterback,
but I think I'm quicker in the pocket."
Pastorini missed nearly three weeks of practice this
summer as the College All-Stars rehearsed for their game with
Baltimore. That gave Dickey a chance to show.
Dickey's four outings in the exhibition season netted him 35
completions on 74 attempts for 518 yards. Against the Dallas
Cowboys at the AstroDome, Dickey completed 14 of 31 passes
for 295 yards including scoring passes of 75 and 60 yards.
Dickey is still listed as the No. .2 quarterback, but he's
definitely pushing for a starting position.
Buffs issue warning
The Big Eight is known for its tight football races, but
pre-season favorites Nebraska and Oklahoma must have taken a
second look when Colorado dumped ninth ranked Louisiana
State, 31-21 Saturday.
Sophomore Charles Davis ran through LSU's defense (No. I in
the nation against the rush last season) for 175 yards and two
touchdowns. But the Colorado victory also had its sour moments
for the Buffs.
Fullback Jon Keyworth, the fifth leading rusher in the Big
Eight last year, broke his leg in the game and is out for the
season.
Jottings
Nebraska's cross country team opens its season at Kansas State
Oct. 2.
Former Nebraska basketball player Leroy Chalk, who attended
a Boston Celtic rookie camp, has been invited back by the NBA
team.
Junior College basketball standout Abe Stewart, who was
highly recruited by Nebraska cage coach Joe Cipriano, has
reportedly enrolled at Jacksonville.
Iowa State sophomore standout Jerry Mosses is expected to be
ready to play in October. Mosses broke his foot in the second
week of practice and had the cast removed last week.
The Kansas Jjyhawk defensive coaches have formed a group
known as the Hi-Jackers Club. Membership is gained by
intercepting a pass.
The Gopher offense will
also present a different
problem. Quarterback Craig
Curry, who led the Big Ten in
total offense last year, poses a
much stiffer running threat
than did Oregon's Dan Fouts.
"Minnesota runs mostly all
action passes and Curry can
throw well from the sprint,"
noted Devaney. "Curry is a
fine runner and we have to
work on containing him."
