harriers
run into
trouble
Missouri cioss country captain Charlie McMullen paced the
Tigers to a 21-40 victory over the Huskers Saturday with a
time of 25:37.4 over Columbia's four-mile course.
Top Nebraska runner and third place finisher Lynn Hall
said several teammates were suffering from injuries and
sickness.
"(Bob) Unger has been slowed considerably the past couple
of weeks with a sore leg, while (Keith) Whitaker has even
missed the last two meets due to a virus he's had. Thus, we
weren't as strong as we could have been against Missouri," he
said.
He said the Big 8 conference champion most likely will be
Colorado or Missouri. He said the Huskers' chances were
remote.
Coach Frank Sevigno said he feels his team "has been
running good, but not extremely well." Hall has an excellent
chance of finishing among the top five conference runners,
Sevigne said.
"Several men have missed valuable days of practice. This
late in the season that often proves fatal," he said.
Missouri placed seven men in the top 10 to defeat
Nebraska.
Hall's time was 25:54. He was followed by fourth place
Husker Mike Fertig, whose time was 26:10. Other Nebraska
runners included Roger Chadwick, who finished 10th with
26:37. Unger was seven seconds behind Chadwick to finish
11th. Final Nebraska point man was Larry Gnapp, whose
28: 1 7 time was good for 1 5th.
The Huskers' next opponent is Drake University Saturday
at Pioneer Park.

b" Ui-iv.-rj.ity of Kansas Jayhawks
-i'iMi!.iv afternoon in Memorial
I'm! is, it will bo the Huskers' pass
M"n.e, which is tanked No. 1 in the
', ag.nnst Jayhawk quarterback
I''.:! Jaynes, who is the foutth
i-'.i--:" ) passer in the country.
After five games, opposing
' i In I iac.k s have tried passing on
N"!''aska i2 tunes and have completed
'"!' 16 fot 115 yards. That's an
.!i lagr of 23 yards a game or 25.8 pur
''n! i i Uiipl. turn. The Huskers have
nit 'K fptcd five passes.
Jaynes has completed 79 of 140
passes and has had only one
intercepted. He has thrown for 965
yatds and has completed 56.4 per cent
of his passes. Jaynes also has eight
louebdown passes to his credit.
Hardy B oi g, senior right
t.oi i i back fut the Huskers, said
J. i, i !'. "is a great passer."
"H'- has always been a good
', ; i"i t'af k, but this year he is picking
':is secondary receivers (jotter, "
Boi-.l said. "He's also throwing bettei
off balance and under pressure."
Warren Powers, defensive backfield
coach, said the Kansas game will be
the defensive secondary's "first real
test."
"When Jaynes was a sophomore he
didn't really hurt us because he didn't
have any pass protection, and last year
he was injured when we played
Kansas," he said. "But this year he is a
quarterback with confidence,
maturity, and he knows how to read
defenses well."
Teaming up with Jaynes are,
receivers Bruce Adams and Emmett
Edwards. So far this year, Edwards has
19 catches for 304 yards, and Adams
has 19 catches for 268 yards and six
touchdowns.
Borg remembers Adams from last
year when Adams was "the little kid in
Nebraska's defensive secondary."
"Adams impressed me last year. He
has great hands and goes for the ball
well," Borg said.
Although the defensive backfield
would like to hold Jaynes under his
average of 193 yards a game, Borg said
"the only important thing is winning."
"We would like to hold him to
nothing," Borg said. "But if he passes
for 500 yards and we still win the
game as a team, that's all that's
important."
Powers attributes the success of the
Huskers pass defense to a total
defensive effort."

describes as "an intelligent and
