(.ii i de leiise played
nearly the entire game.
He said sitting on the bench was
perhaps easier at Nebraska because of
its outstanding football program, but
added, "Even though it is Nebraska,
and we're the best in the nation, I'm
just not used to sitting on the bench."
For Lippincott and others in his
situation, he said that practice before
the next game will simply mean more
hard work.
"I still haven't hit anybody with a
different jersey on, so I've just got to
work to earn a better position," he
said.
The task isn't as awesome as it first
seems, he said.
"When you mingle with these other
guys who are here for football, you
find out there's no real difference.
They're just regular guys, too."
Lippincott said the players
probably were satisfied with the win
over Kansas State despite the score,
because the Wildcats' junior varsity
squad consisted of juniors and
sophomores as well as freshmen.
The Nebraska offense scored only
three points (the lone touchdown was
scored by the defense on a blocked
punt), and neither team scored in the
second half, but Lippincott said he felt
the Huskers showed their dominance
over the Wildcats early and were just
frustrated by first-game mistakes after
halftime.
"I don't know what some of these
guys from out of t ho state feel like,
but being from Nebraska, I have a lot
of pride in continuing the winning
freshmen tradition here. And I real i
from talking to guys from the varsity
team that if we had lost that game,
they would have been reaNy down on
us, " he said.
Following the Missouri game, the
Husker freshmen play a night game
against the Oklahoma frosh in Norman
Oct. 22 and then host Colorado Nov. 2
and Iowa State Nov. 9.

Minnesota tor three years," Ruud said. "I know
some of the guys on their tcam.and it's always
nice to go up to Minneapolis and play before
my parents."'
Ruud said starting at linebacker for the first
three games has been a learning experience,
"Every game I always pick up something
new," he said. "Of course the most important
thing is that we win as a team, not as
individuals."
Linebacker coach Rick Duval said both men
have "size, speed and dedication."
"The only thing they lack is experience,"
Duval said, "They didn't play as much last year
as some persons think." Duval said that with
the experience Nelson and Ruud get in the first
four football games, they should "pretty
sound football players" when the Big Eight
season starts. Nebraska's Big Eight opener is
against Missouri Oct. 13.
Duval explained the difference between the
strongside linebacker (Ruud) and the weakside
linebacker (Nelson).
"The strongside linebacker must cover the
curl area-the area inside the wide receiver,"
Duval said. "The weakside linebacker should be
taller, because he has to be able to see over the
offensive linemen to read the upcoming play."
Duval said txjth Nelson and Ruud could
play either position because of their height and
speed.

Phi Delts strengthen
hold on No. 1 rank
By Bob Hill
Phi Delta Theta, after crushing previously undefeated
Alpha Tau Omega 47 1 8 Tuesday night, reaps Daily Nebraskan
class A flag football team of the week honors.
Phi Dolt quarterback Bill Hamick, after a tough first half
with the ATOs, said his team "put everything together in the
second half."
The Phi Delts scored 28 of the 34 second half points,
solidifying their position as No. 1 in the weekly Daily
Nebraskan poll of class A teams.
"Our game with the ATOs was the first time we really
played together as a' team this year," Hamick said. "If we are
to repeat as All Univeisity champions we must be much more
consistent."
"Before we can think about All-University, however, we
must win the fraternity championship, which is no easy task,"
he said.
Few games were played this week because of rainy
weather, intramural coordinator Phil Sienna said.
Sienna said he hoped the weather would improve to avoid
cutting the schedule short.
The complete top ten:
1. Phi Delta Theta (4-0)
2. Delta Upsilon (3 0)
3. Pro Students (3 0)
4. Harper IV (3 0)
5. Abel II (3 0)
6. Abel X (3-0)
7. Alpha Gamma Sigma (2 0)
8. Acacia (3 0)
9. Hawks (2 0)
10. Gus II (2 0)
Honorable mentions were earned by Schramm IV (2-0),
Sigma Phi Epsilon (2 0), Raiders (2-0), Delta Tau Delta (2-0)
and Alpha Tau Omega (2-1).
