Devaney ignores politics Bob Devaney refuses to play politics with the AP or UPI. The Cornhusker head coach will not roll up a big score just to impress he polls. "I don't think it makes any difference if you win 35-7 or 55-7," said Devaney. "As long as you win by a decisive margin that's all that should really count." Devaney has been under attack since Notre Dame gained 60 points on the Huskers in this week's AP poll. Fans think Notre Dame played politics in scoring a big 50-7 win over Northwestern while the Cornhuskers settled for a 35-7 win over Minnesota. "I don't think Ara (Parscghian, Notre Dame coach) intentionally rolled up a big score," said Devaney. "There's a strong friendship between Ara and Alex Agase (Northwestern coach). It just happened that Northwestern turned over the football and gave Notre Dame easy scoring opportunities." Devaney could have rolled up the score against the Gophers. The Huskers led 35-7 after the third period before Devaney went lo his bench for the entire fourth quarter. "It's more important that we experiment with other players instead of trying to roll up a big score," said Devaney. "If we have a big lead and we don't substitute we're making a big mistake. We have to think about team morale." Devaney never tries to humilate another team by rolling up the score. Devaney is more than just a coach, he's a psychologist. He knows how to get the most out of his players. Perhaps letting as many as possible play is really the most important thing. "Besides," says Devaney, "the only important poll is the one at the end of the season. That's the only one we're thinking about." Ducks over-rated? One way sportswriters go about pickir, heir No. I team is to check on how a team's opposition has ri - . After the Huskers big win over Oregon, it was felt that the icks would help the Huskers by making a good showing the rest of the year. But it appears that Oregon might have been over-rated. Oregon had a tough time before defeating Utah 36-2) last week. The real test, however, could come this Saturday when Oregon meets Stanford in the Pacific tight opener. Oregon also plays Texas this year. Minnesota could help the Huskers image once the Gophers start Big Ten play, but their play this week won't prove much. Minnesota, which played No. I Nebraska last week, plays Washington State (rated the worst team in the nation) this Saturday. Ralphie's relative Purple-minded Kansas State will have a purple steer at their game against Brigham Young Saturday. The steer, which weighs 1 .000 pounds, will receive a warm reception upon arrival in Manhatten Friday. It will pose for pictures as well as parade before and after the game. But that will be the last game the steer will see. Plans are to butcher the animal for Kansas State's athletic table. The steer va donated by several KSU alumni as part of Kansas State's accelerated drive to strengthen its Steer-A-Year Club, an organization of Kansas stockmen who make sure Wildcat athletes eat well. But now there's a rumor tfut K-Slate students want to keep the steer as a mascot partner of Touchdown the VII. a real live wildcat. "I think that's mostly talk." said I d Head. Assistant athletic director. "Besides, their enthusiasm might he retarded when I hey discover the steer is a distant cousin of Kalphie. the Colorado buffalo " Booze ban Nebraska may be the only college in the nation that spends money on fencing lo keep people out of the ball park, but the MJ athletic department and campus police aren't alone in having problems at football games. At Kansas, lor example, students were checked lor lnuor before entering the game lasl week. Two law students al KU fell the "can't drink on slate property" law was discriminating against students because adults were not being checked for liquor. W'hcn the two law students informed a policeman lhal there were two adults violating lite law outside I he stadium, the officer refused to inform them that Ihey were violating I he law. The Lawrence, Kan., police say lhal it's up lo Ihe campus police lo arrest (he people. Bui lite campus police are hesitant about arresting non-students. Fence crashers aren't Ihe only problem Big I ighl learns are having. As a mailer of fad. mosl schools would love lo have avid fans that risk breaking their leg lo see Ihe leant play. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1971 by Dave McBride Two years ago when Nebraska took the'field against Texas A & M, Bill Janssen was making his first start in a Cornhusker uniform. At the time, the Grand Forks, N.D. native was at a defensive end spot, but that's only one of many positions the versatile Janssen has played in his football career. A LINEBACKER and offensive tackle in high school, he started the 1968 freshman season at defensive tackle. He moved to defensive end for the start of the 1969 varsity season, earning his first start against A & M, and had logged enough time by the middle of the season to earn his first letter. But shortly after mid-season, he moved to offensive guard, where he finished the year. By spring practice, Janssen had moved again, this time to center, and had won himself the starting job. Then the week before the Huskers' seasons opener with Southern Cal, Janssen suffered a broken arm. The injury forced him to sit out the entire season, and at the time he called the setback "about the biggest disappointment of my life." HE NEVER LOST his enthusiasm though, and Janssen is back for his junior season this year. He has changed positions again-back to the defensive tackle spot where he started his career at Nebraska-and once again he is a starter. "Coach Devaney gave me a choice when I had my broken arm of where I wanted to play, and I told him I'd play anywhere," Janssen said. The various position changes he has made during his career haven't affected him much, he said. "IT REALLY hasn't been that hard because the coaching staff is really good, really tremendous," he said. "When they switched me to different positions, it was only because they thought I could play them." With his experience at six positions during his football career, including three offensive spots, Janssen still prefers the unit he is with how defense. "I've just played defense so long, that's just the side of the game I enjoy more. It's the better side to be on," he said. DID MISSING all of Nebraska's national 1. championship season and the Orange Bowl victory add any extra incentive for this season for Janssen? "The guys like me who sat out last year want to do it for the first time," he said. Sorry bout that troops ! Yesterday's listing of the co-rec intramural flag football schedule was incorrect.
