Cip places varsity men
in frosh team Saturday
Nebraska's freshman-varsity
basketball scrimmage Saturday
night may look like a repeat
performance of last year's
game.
Head basketball coach Joe
Cipriano has shipped five
varsity players to the freshman
team for Saturday's 7:35 p.m.
scrimmage at the Coliseum to
"give more varsity players an
opportunity to play."
Included in the list of
varsity transplants are Rick
Brown and Tom Novak,
starting guards on last year's
frosh team, and former
freshman starter Bob Allen at
forward. Forward Tom Bryan,
a junior who worked into
playing time late in the season
with the varsity last year, will
also join the freshman team
and so will redshirt Dave Nuss, .
a 6-8 sophomore from
Scottsbluff.
"We'll start the regular
freshman team and then work
the varsity players into the
lineup later in the half," said
Cipriano. "I just want to give
more varsity players an.
opportunity to play under a
game situation."

Cipriano was still uncertain
about his starting lineup, but
said three seniors have assured
themselves of starting jobs for
Saturday's scrimmage.
Chuck Jura, the Huskers'
second-leading scorer last year,
will start at center and Mike
Peterson will get the call at one
of the forward positions. Al
Nissen, who has had an
impressive month of practicing,
will start at a guard spot.
Juniors Tom Gregory and
Randy Watts are battling for
the other guard position and
Brendy Lee and Cal Christline
are fighting for the other
forward spot.
Guard Tony Riehl, a junior
from Kentucky, has been
slowed with injuries and hasn't
been able to make a serious bid
at a starting position.
All-sports tickets will be
honored at the game. Tickets
are on sale at the Coliseum
Ticket Office.

against
by Jim Johnston
Missouri, playing its typical
six-man defensive line, held
Oklahoma's Wishbone-T to just
20 points and didn't allow a
touchdown in the second half.
Bob Devaney knows that.
OKAY, then, all Nebraska
has to do is adopt Missouri's
defensive strategy and the
Cornhuskers can stop
Oklahoma's powerful offense.
Right?
Well, maybe partially right.
"It's not that easy," says.
Devaney. "You can't just make
a radical defense change in a
week and expect everything to
turn out good." .
DEVANEY said, however,
that the Nebraska coaching
staff is studying several
defenses used against
Oklahoma this season to
"come up with the right
formula."
In talking about Missouri's
defense, Devaney credited the
play of the Tigers' defensive
ends for the reason the
Sooners' offense was quieted.
"Oklahoma doesn't seem to
realize that a defensive end can
play that lead blocker and still
make the tackle," said
Devaney. "Missouri's ends
played a big part in stopping
that wide stuff."
BUT FEW teams have been
able to keep the Sooners; off
the scoreboard, by stopping
"that wide stuff." The
Sooners, who lead the nation
in rushing offense, are
averaging 481 yards rushing
and 45 points.
That's been the success
story of the Wishbone. But
Devaney doesn't think the
Wishbone is unstoppable.
"Someday somebody will
come up with a real effective
way of stopping the
Wishbone," said Devaney.
'There's been some teams that
have run it and lost."
DEVANEY said the key is
stopping the Wishbone is to
force the Sooners into long
yardage situations.
"Oklahoma hasn't been in
many' long yardage situations
this season," said Devaney,
"and the few times they've
been in those situations Jack
Mildren has managed to come
up with the big pass play."
The Sooners have attempted
just 56 passes in nine games
this season, but have
completed 27 of those passes
for 736 yards.

"THEY TRY to surprise
you with the pass," said
Devaney. "We have to be
mentally prepared and thinking
all the time. That's just as
important as being ready
fundamentally."
Concerning last year's 28-12
Nebraska win over Oklahoma,
Devaney said the Huskers
didn't play a really good game.
"We weren't completely
prepared defensively against
Oklahoma last year," said
Devaney. "We've definitely
learned from some mistakes
last year."

since that last meeting with the
Huskers. Nebraska hasn t lost
in the last 39 outings.
The Cornhuskers went
through a shortened practice
Wednesday as a constant
drizzle forced much of the
work into the fieldhouse.
Flanker Johnny Rodgers,
who is suffering from a head
cold, missed his second straight
workout. Tackle Carl Johnson
was still in sweat clothes and
still has a brace on his knee.
Defensive end Willie Harper
has also been slowed with a
pulled muscle.
