thursday, September 251975 page 10 daily nebraskan reshman Huskers 0ye trddifion K-State defeat By Scott Jones Nebraska's freshman football team should be successful in their season opener at Kansas State Friday at 3 p.m. should a Husker tradition continue to hold. The Huskers have been especially suc cessful when given a prolonged period of time to prepare for a game. Six consecutive bowl victories offer partial proof. Because the freshmen have been practic ing since Aug. 18 they should hand the Wildcat junior varsity their 18th straight defeat to Nebraska's freshmen if the tradition holds. Many of the freshmen have been practicing even longer if all-star game prac tice periods are included. t "They're getting tired of practicing and scrimmaging," said Guy Ingles, assistant freshman coach. "They're anxious to play together and play a common opponent instead of hitting each other." Coach unsure Despite such preparation, Ingles said he isn't sure that they are ready for a game. "I sure hope so. We've practiced a long time," he said. "We just hope the kids will play like they're capable." How capable the freshmen are will be determined by the first game, he said. "I'd say that overall the team could be better than last year's team but well just have to see how they play in a game, he said. "On, the whole our defense will be better than last year."

Both are on the varsity second team. , Ingles said he was encouraged with the squad's performance in a scrimmage against varsity reserves last Monday. Although beaten 14-0, the freshmen moved the ball welf at times and gave ground grudgingly. State fishing license fees help pay reservoir stocking By Chuck Beck Licensed fishermen in Nebraska - are investors who pay an unusual interest Every time an outdoor enthusiast buys a fislung license, the money goes to help finance operations of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. Revenue collected from fishing licenses provided the fisheries division in the commission with $900,000 last year, Division Chief Bob Thomas said. - The fisheries division is responsible for fish stocking throughout Nebraska. Thomas explained that the division's fish experts decide what fish species to stock in new and "renovated" reservoirs. A renovated reservoir is one in which several species of fish are introduced when an undesirable species dominates, Thomas said. The dominant species kills game fish, reducing the success of fishermen, he explained. s Wagon Train Wagon Train Lake is an example of a renovated reservoir, Thomas said. The lake, two miles east of Hickman, will be closed for two years while certain fish have a chance to grow and xeproduce-walleye, northern pike, bass, blucgill and channel catfish. No new reservoirs were stocked this year, Thomas added. Supplemental stocking is another kind of fish stocking. 'This is done in a situation when we've had a severe winter kill and we want to re store a certain species of fish," Thomas said. Fish biologists will determine where supplemental stocking will be done next spring. Maintenance stocking is a third kind of operation performed by the fisheries divi sion. It is done to increase the population of a specific kind of fish. Trout for Panhandle "Maintenance stocking is done when there is a condition suitable for the growth and survival of one kind of fish or when conditions are inadequate for reproduc tion," Thomas said. For example, trout annually are introduced in Panhandle streams. Experimental stocking is when a new species of fish is introduced in a lake, Thomas said. He cited lakes where division personnel had stocked striped bass-Lake McConaughy, the Harlan County Reservoir and Lake Minatare in Scotts Bluff County. ,. ' , A final type of stocking is called "put and take," Thomas explained, which is stocking1 a body of water with game fish that are large enough to be taken by sports men. This stocking is done annually at Two Rivers State Recreation Area near Venice, where fishermen pay $2 daily to fish. In addition to stocking fish,, the fishing division also refers complaints of industrial pollution to the Nebraska Department of Environmental Control. Former Husker slowed by injuries in pro climb By Jim Hunt Instead of wearing a New York Giant football uniform this fall, Larry Jacobson is in Lincoln with a cast on his left foot. Jacobson, a consensus ail-American at UNL and the Giant's first pick in the 1972 pro draft, dislocated an ankle and broke several bones In his left foot on the fifth day of practice this year. Jacobson. whose pro career' has been plagued with injuries, is currently doing graduate work toward an M.A. or M.B.A. After starting 10 games his rookie, season, he stepped on a piece of glass three weeks before training camp opened in 1973. The glass cut his foot to the bone, severing the main nerve. He missed the entire 1973 season. Injury combination After starting five games last year, a piece of glass the doctor missed forced its way out of his foot. A combination of Injuries kept him out for five weeks. When he got back, the Giants had gone to a new defense and he wasn't needed. " "Some good always comes out of some- ' thing bad," he said. The Sioux Falls, S.D., native said he has no intention of giving up pro ball, He still has one year left on his contract with the Giants. - "I'm home " he said . "My wife is teach ing school and I can sit in the stands and find out what UNL football is all about." Tough adjustment "I had a hard time adjusting to a specta tor's point of view. I found myself looking at the player that I would be playing across from. Now I just try to witch the b&ll and enjoy the game. "There is a big difference between pro and college football. In the pros you play 20 games, which is way too many, and after a while it just becomes a job. "In college football you gt up for every game and there is lot of emotion involved. If you don't make the first two teams you still have your scholarship. In the pros you are gone." . The recent pro strike was necessary because the players have been without a contract for 19 months, he said. The last contract between the owners and players association was signed in 1971. Pension improvements "The players want a better pension plan," he said. "We're not trying to completely do away with the Rozelle rule." The Rozelle rule, named after NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle, states a player cannot change teams after playing out his contract without the team he leaves receiving compensation if it chooses. The players want to have something set down so if they play out their option, another team will khow what it will cost in the" way of compensation to sign them. "Another important issue in the players strike is outside arbitration. Right now the outside arbitrator is Pete Rozelle, who receives $200,000 a year to be head of the league. It is obvious that he is going to side with the owners most of the time." Jacbobson says he hopes the World Football League (WFL) wiiLbe success full because of the number of good players around that don't make it because they aren't given a chance. The WFL offers these players somewhere to go besides Canada, he said. Changing NCAA rules "With the NCAA rules changing, and if the quality of collegiate football starts going down, maybe a lot of people will get tired of watching college football and round-about way that will help profession al football. 'The rules have got to hurt college football. It's going to pull the larger colleges down and smaller colleges are going to stay the same as they are now. It's just a very unfair ruling." Jacobson said he got four things out of . his days at Nebraska. . -Being able to play on some good football teams including two national championship teams in 1970 and 1971. -A good education. He earned . Academic all-America honors his senior iii iiiu fiiitMiou in the top 16 per cent of his accounting class. , -A good time. -Finally, like the traditional football hero, he married the former Barb Ramsey who was the 196S Homecoming Queen.
