SI Tk I i & B 35:30 Everyday r 31 01 N Cotnei BEEF a BOOSE W Id cats to face Huskers By Steve Taylor The Northwestern University Wild cats have given up an average 45 points in their first two games. They have scored only a total of 10 points themselves while averaging 2.9 yards on each offensive play. Pitiful as these statistics are, im provement doesn't appear to be on the immediate horizon. Tomorrow the Wildcats must face Nebraska, a team infuriated by an unexpected loss last weekend. And they must challenge the Huskers without the services of ace quarterback Mitch Anderson. Anderson has led the Big 10 in passing the past two years and has piled up two conference and five school records. Saturday the only record Anderson will be piling up will be on his stereo in Evanston since he will not be making the trip to Lincoln. The Northwestern defense returns 17 lettermen and six starters. They place ninth in the conference in total defense (last in passing defense) while allowing Ohio State 60 points and Minnesota 52. wildcat coach John Pont said this about his team prior to the season opener: "Northwestern is a better football team than last year and will improve upon their fourth place finish in the Big 10." . As for Nebraska, it will be interesting to see how the Huskers rebound after their disappointing loss. Despite the defeat, Nebraska remained in the top ten and is undoubtedly anxious to start climbing the rating ladder after falling off the fourth rung. Apparently Earl Everett will be guiding the Hu kers tommorrow with passing wizard David Humm still nursing a hip injury. Everett is a deceptive runner and a potentially good passer who needs only a little confidence. Last week he was thrown into a hostile arena and expected to direct a team he had rarely worked with in practice. , it This week Everett had drilled with the first team and should be ready to prove he is a competent signal-caller. Kick-off time is 1:30 p.m. with the 'Usual" sellout expected. The University Water Polo team will open its season Saturday at home against Drake Univer sity. The match, held in the Coliseum pool will begin at 10 a.m.. The Nebraska freshmen open their football season today against the Kansas State University junior varsity team. Game time is 1:30 p.m. at Memorial Stadium. Husker fans will be getting their first l- at such highly recruited players as Curtis Craig and Tom Sorley. " " David Humm has not been counted out of action for the Saturday contest against Northwestern. Except for Humm and John O'Leary, all Huskers are expected to be at full speed. ffiSSSSSSS!
