Coach Anderson: Cyclones
pose threat despite record
This game with Iowa State could be just like
the close games with Kansas and Oklahoma
State, and the Cyclones are a good, explosive
team with nothing weak about them, according
to Jim Anderson, graduate assistant coach for
the Nebraska freshman football team.
Anderson traveled to Norman, Okla., last
week to scout Iowa State's 34-17 loss to
Oklahoma. The Cyclones record is 0-4 in the
conference and 2-5 overall. They have lost to
Arkansas (21-19), Colorado (23-16), Kansas
State (21-19) and Kansas (22-20). They have
beaten Idaho (48-0) and Brigham Young
(26-24).
"All their games have been very close," he
said. "They were leading Oklahoma 17-7 in the
second quarter, and they outplayed Colorado
even though they lost."
Sophomore quarterback Wayne Stanley
leads the Cyclone offense. Anderson describes
Stanley as being "quite a theat."
"Stanley is "like a Fran Tarkenton," he said.
"He can run or throw the ball very well." After
seven games, Stanley has completed 47 of 113
passes, has had nine passes intercepted and has
thrown for seven touchdowns.
Receiving Stanley's passes are split end Ike
Harris, tight end Keith Krepfle, and flanker
Willie Jones. Krepfle has 22 catches for 333
yards and Jones has 14 catches for 229 yards.
"All three men are excellent veteran
receivers," Anderson said. "They're probably
the best trio of receivers in the league."
Junior Mike Strachan is the Cyclones' leading
rusher. He has 758 yards in 184 carries. Last
year Strachan was the league's leading rusher
with 1,260 yards in 267 carries.
Adding to Iowa State's offensive threat is
kicker Tom Goedjen. Last year against
Nebraska, Goedjen missed an Iowa State extra
point with only 23 seconds left in the game,
giving the Cyclones a tie instead of a victory.
This year, Goedjen is one of the nation's
leading kickers. He has kicked 14 of 14,
point-after-attempts and has made 14 of 181
field goals for 56 total points.
Middle guard Larry Hunt and rover Matt
Blair were cited by Anderson as being "good
defensive football players." "Hunt was the Big
8 defensive player of the week for his effort
against Oklahoma," he said, "and Blair was an
All-Big 8 defensive player last year."
Anderson said that Iowa State has been
defensing the run well, but has been having
trouble with its opponents' passing attacks.
When Nebraska and Iowa State clash at 1 :30
p.m. on Saturday, it will be their 68th meeting.
Nebraska leads the series by a 54-11-2 margin.
Iowa State to push Huskers
for gymnastics title Saturday
Husker Gymnastics Coach Francis Allen
will find out how good his gymnasts are
when Nebraska hosts the Big 8 Invitational
Gymnastics Tournament Saturday in the
Coliseum.
All Big 8 teams except Oklahoma State
and Missouri, which don't have gymnastics
squads, will be represented in the meet. This
means that Iowa State, the defending
conference and national champions, will be
pushing the Huskers for the invitational title.
Last March in Lincoln, the Huskers finished
second to Iowa State in the Big 8 gymnastics
championships.

"We saw them (Iowa State) in an
intrasquad meet one week ago," Allen said,
"and t that time, we were better than they
wore. But who's to say what they'll do when
it comes tinv to compete in a meet
"Wo hav. j lot at stake in this meet, and
if ' .n't," lie said. "If we hit the routines
like wu can, then we'll win the meet. If we
d'.jfi't, then we won't win it. Either way it
will be close."
One of the performers who must come
through for Nebraska is junior Gene Mackie
from Omaha. He will compete in the
Olympic all-around program, which requires
him to perform routines in all six
events-floor exercise, pommel horse, still
rings, vaulting, parallel bars and high bar.
All teams will conduct workouts Friday
night at 7. Competition Saturday will be
from 10:00 a.m. to noon and from 7 p.m. to
10:30 p.m.
To turn from gymnastics to football, the
Huskers Saturday will face the Iowa State
Cyclones along with scouts from four bowl
games. Representatives of the Sugar, Cotton,
Gator and Liberty bowls will be present at
the game.
After last year's tie with Iowa State,
revenge should be on the minds of all
Cornhuskers. I predict Nebraska will beat
the Cyclones 28-7.
My predictions on other Big 8 games:
Oklahoma State 27, Kansas State 7, at
Stillwater, Okla.-After ticing Nebraska and
Kansas, can the Cowboys (0-1-2 in the

Quarterback Ed Burns (10) pitches out to l-back Dave
Gillespie (41) in last week's frosh game with Colorado.
The Husker freshmen play the Iowa State junior varsity
this afternoon at 1 :30 in Memorial Stadium.
Seven frosh backups
receive starting call
By Dave McBride
The second-team offense that rushed for 214
second-half yards and scored 21 points in the last Nebraska
freshman game has earned the right to start this afternoon
in the Huskers' season finale against Iowa State, frosh
assistant coach Guy Ingles said.
The second stringers went on a rampage after
intermission last Friday to bury the previously undefeated
Colorado freshmen 28-15.
Led by l-back Jack Kelley and fullback Lindsay Kucera,
who combined for 116 rushing yards in the second half, the
alternates broke from a 7-3 Husker half-time lead to a 28-9
margin that put the game away.
As a result, seven new starters dot the offensive starting
lineup today. "We feel that these guys have earned the right
to start," Ingles said, "but of course the people they
replaced will be seeing a lot of action."
The defense, which has limited four opponents to an
average of 205 yards total offense and 45 first downs,
remains intact.
Iowa State, which will play a junior varsity lineup rather
than strictly freshmen, comes to Lincoln with a 2 0 record.
"I'm sure they'll be fired up," Ingles said of the
Cyclones. "They're undefeated, they play Missouri after us,
and they feel that if they can beat us and beat Missouri,
they'll be the best junior varsity team in the Big 8.
"And, of course, we feel we have to end our season on a
high note," he added.
The Huskers are 4-1 this year with wins over Iowa,
Kansas State, Oklahoma and Colorado and a loss to
Missouri.
They will start Californian Randy Garcia at quarterback,
who is the leading frosh passer with 249 yards and two
touchdowns. He has completed nearly 65 per cent of his
passes, although he did not throw at all against Colorado
because of a hand injury.
Kicker King Block continues to lead the frosh in scoring
with 17 points on three field goals and 8-8 on extra points.
He needs only one more field goal to set a Husker freshman
season record.
l-back Dave Gillespie is the rushing and total offense
leader with 241 yards on 67 carries and one touchdown.
