Huskers aid Minnesota
The Minnesota Gophers haven't had any recent football
success against Nebraska, losing six straight since Bob Devaney
arrived, but the school's athletic department is always happy after
the Minnesota-Nebraska games, regardless of the score.
The reason is money.
The University of Minnesota, which has lost popularity in the
Twin Cities area since the arrival of professional sports, has
always welcomed Nebraska because of the large crowds the game
attracts.
Last year at Minnesota, for example, the Minnesota Twins and
the Baltimore Orioles were meeting in the first game of the
American League Western Division playoffs at the same time the
Cornhuskers were playing the Gophers. But the
Nebraska-Minnesota game doubled the attendance of the baseball
game. Both were in Minneapolis.
But that is the exception rather than the rule for the
University's sports following.
The Minnesota Vikings (football), North Stars (hockey) and
Twins have taken away much of the interest from the University
of Minnesota sports.
In 1948, for example, the Gophers home attendance averaged
62,000 each game. Last year Minnesota averaged only 45,000
fans each game.
The decline in interest has also produced a decline in the
caliber of Minnesota football. It's hard to believe that Minnesota
won the national championship in 1960...just 1 1 years ago.
There was, a few years back, strong feeling against Gopher
head coach Murray Warmath who is now in his 1 8th year with the
Gophers. The public was disgusted with Minnesota's boring brand
of football.
But the pressure has recently been taken off Warmath. The
Twin Cities area just doesn't seem to care about the University
anymore. Only 28,500 fans watched the Gophers opener last
week.
Minnesota, once a great football power, is now considered a
patsy on most football schedules.
Jottings:
Nebraska's second team I-back Gary Dixon, who scored three
touchdowns against Oregon, leads the Big Eight scoring charts
with 1 8 points
Oklahoma State's Dick Graham is off to another fast start.
Graham caught five passes for 1 40 yards against Mississippi State.
Nebraska, rated No. 1 by both wire service polls, takes a
20-game unbeaten string into Saturday's game.
Minnesota holds a 29-12-2 lead in the football series with the
Cornhuskers.
Cornhusker quarterback Jerry Tagge leads the Big Eight in
passing percentage after the first week. Tagge hit eight of 10
passes for 80 per cent accuracy.
So they say:
BOB SEAMAN, Wichita State football coach: 'Texas A & M
(which beat Wichita) has a fine football team. When they beat
Nebraska I'll feel much better about our loss."
JOHNNY MAJORS Iowa State football coach: "Our
quarterback Dean Carlson could be the best quarterback in the
nation. ..as good as Jim Plunkett was last year."
Migration tickets scarce
The University of Nebraska
athletic department, assuming
that the game against Missouri
will be the informal student
migration, has set a date for
students to purchase tickets for
the game at Columbia.
In accordance with an
agreement reached with the
ASUN a number of years ago,
20 per cent of the allotted
tickets for the game will be
held for the students. The
University of Missouri has
allowed Nebraska 3,000
tickets.
This means that there will
be only 600 tickets available
for Nebraska students.
Allocation of the tickets to
the students will be handled by
a lottery.
Those students desiring
tickets to the game are asked
to come to the Coliseum ticket
office on September 20, 21 or
22 and leave their order. No
checks or cash will be required
at this time.
Students desiring to sit
together (not to exceed six in a
group) must come to the office
together. At the time an order
is placed, that student will
draw a lottery number.
Winning lottery numbers will be
announced in the Daily
Nebraskan next Friday, Sept
24 and the students must pick
up their tickets and pay for
them at the Coliseum by Sept.
27 or 28.
Married students may
request two tickets upon
establishment of proof of
marriage.
