R & I cage season begins
The 1971-72 intramural basketball season began Monday night
with 210 teams entering league play.
The tournament includes about 30 more entries than last year,
and Intramural Director Phil Sienna said that over 600 games will
be required to complete regular season play.
Intramural play is limited to locations at the Men's Physical
Education building and at the University High gymnasium.
Noting the lack of intramural facilities available, the number
of team entries, Sienna said he expects the season to last into
March. m
"I've never seen a school with as much interest in basketball,
Sienna, formerly with the intramural department at Oklahoma
University, said. "If any school needs facilities, Nebraska does."
Sienna said he was pleased that there were about 25 more
independent entries than last year because "It's usually hard to
get the independents interested and get them to want to get a
team together."
He emphasized that cooperation between teams and officials
and will be essential to the success of the season.
He also urged team managers to keep in frequent contact with
the Intramural Office.

K State quarterback poses passing threat
by Jim Johnston
They used to say Dennis
Morrison couldn't lead Kansas
State out of the dressing room,
much less in a game.
But those who criticized the
Kansas State quarterback at
the beginning of the season
aren't laughing anymore.
Morrison, who was named Big
Eight back of the week this
week, has thrown for 567
yards the last two games in
leading the Wildcats to two
straight conference wins.
IN FACT, Morrison has
surpassed Nebraska's Jerry
Tagge for the conference lead
in passing yardage.
Morrison will direct the
Wildcats against Nebraska
Saturday at Manhattan, Kan.,
at 1 :30 p.m.

because he was mostly
throwing action-type passes,"
said Husker head coach Bob
Devaney.
BUT SINCE Kansas State
coach Vince Gibson decided to
go back to a passing game for
which the Wildcats have been
known the last three years,
Morrison has developed into an
outstanding passer.
"Kansas State was running
out of the I formation at the
beginning oi the season," said
Devaney, "but they weren't
progressing as well as they
should. So Vince went back to
what he's done the last three
years.
In the past three years,
however, the Wildcats had Big
Eight passing king Lynn
Dickey at the helm. Morrison
had a tough act to follow, but
he's-now in contention to lead
Kansas State to its fourth
straight Big Eight passing
crown.
NEBRASKA presently leads
the Big Eight in passing with a
172.7 average while the
Wildcats trail with 163.3-yard
average.
And if the Wildcats are to

Nebraska in the passing lead,

have to continue against the
best pass defense in the Big
Eight Saturday. Nebraska,
which leads every defensive
department, is allowing just
92.6 passing yards per game.
Morrison's leading receiver
is sophomore tight end Henry
Childs. Childs has caught 13
passes for 234 yards, including
seven for 90 yards and two
touchdowns in a comeback win
against Oklahoma State last
week.
"IF YOU'RE not having
success with a certain type of
offense it's still a gamble to go
to something different in the
middle of the season,"
observed Devaney, "but the
move has definitely paid off
for Kansas State."
Devaney is not worried
about a psychological letdown
against Kansas State, the last
team Nebraska plays before
the Thanksgiving game with
Oklahoma.
NEBRASKA reserve
slotback Glen Garson is listed
as a doubtful to make the trip
to Manhattan. Linebacker Bill
Sloey, injured in the Oregon
game, is likely to make his first
trip of the season Saturday.
