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."
Nebraska- beat Kansas State 24-10 last
year.

Center: Keith Bishop, middle guard
Kelvin Roehrs and tackle Mark Goodspeed
have been practicing with the varsity but
will play Friday. They won't start because
they haven't practiced regularly with the
freshmen, Ingles said. ' - .
Freshman wingback Ken Brown and
linebacker Lee Kunz probably will not
play, Ingles said. 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.
