Durable quarterback keys Kansas upset attem
By Scott Jones
Nebraska shouldn't expect to wear down its Homecom
ing opponent Kansas, or at least the Jayhawk s current
star, as it did Miami in the second half last Saturday.
The Jayhawk's hero is wishbone quarterback Nolan
Cromwell, who has led Kansas to a 3-1 record and 20th
place ranking by United Press International. For the last
two weeks, he also has been named Big 8 offensive back
of the week by Associated Press.
Cromwell carried the ball 28 times gaining 294 yards in
his first starting role in a 204) win over Oregon State two
weeks ago. Last week he added 187 yards on 20 carries as
Kansas upset Wisconsin, 41-7.
An average of 24 carries a game is a lot for one of
Nebraska's I-backs, not to mention a quarterback.
Former safety
Cromwell, however, was a two-year starter at safety
before switching to quarterback this year. More pertinent
to his endurance, he was the Big 8 champion in the
440-yard hurdles last year.
Two other Jayhawks also were track stars for Kansas
last year. Cornerback Eddie Lewis was the Big 8 indoor
440-yard champion and wide receiver Waddell Smith
won the indoor 600-yard run and placed second in the
440-yard outdoors.
Lewis, a three-year starter, intercepted a pass and ran
Fledgling climbers face
different uphill struggle
The most difficult climbing experience most UNL
students experience on Saturdays is the climb out of bed
and up the Memorial Stadium steps that afternoon.
But 10 UNL students and three advisers will face more
difficult climbs this weekend on a Palisades State Park
climbing trip sponsored by the Recreation Office.
Climbers will leave Friday afternoon and spend two days
and nights in the park, located about IS miles from Sioux
Falls, S.D. Cost of the trip is $ 1 5 .
Most participants have never climbed before, according
to Mark Ebel, UNL outdoor recreation director.
Some gained experience last Saturday and Sunday at a
climbing clinic using the East Campus climbing wall.
"It went really well," Ebel said, "We got 21 students
who weaned themselves away from the football game
Saturday. We had more students than we could really
handle with our staff."
The response was so favorable, Ebel said, that a series
of climbing expeditions may be held next spring.
"We're on the edge of suitable climbing weather now,"
Ebel said. "Well be curtailing any climbing until late next
spring, but given the interest this weekend, there may be
a series of climbing trips."
The Recreation Office also will sponsor a 24-mile
canoe trip down the Niobrara River Oct. 31 and another
down the Current River in the Ozarks, Nov. 26 to 30.
Ebel said the first trip is full, but there are spaces open
for the Current River trip.
"We'd encourage students to participate in these trips
because they'll be able to be exposed to proper and safe
methods compared to learning on their own," he said.
66 yards for a touchdown last week against Wisconsin.
Cromwell is the conference's leading rusher, after four
games averaging 131 J yards a game. Should Nebraska's
defense overplay Cromwell, halfback Laverne Smith is a
dangerous runner after taking the pitch.
Outside threat
Smith, second in conference rushing last year with 1,181
yards, will be joined by fullback Norris Banks and half
back Skip Sharp.
If forced to pass, first-year coach Bud Moore can call on
quarterback Scott McMichael who started during Kansas'!
opening game 18-14 loss to Washington State and 14-10
defeat of Kentucky.
McMichael passed for 1,044 yards last year. Cromwell
r
has attempted only seven passes this year, completing one.
Kansas's defense was forced to carry the Jayhawks the
first two games until the new wishbone installed by former
Alabama aid Moore began to operate smoothly.
Defense stingy
The Jayhawks have allowed only 35 points in four
games, an 8.8 average which leads the conference.
Kansas boasts a strong secondary led by two-time
all-Big 8 strong safety Kurt Knoff and cornerback Lewis.
Like Nebraska, Kansas plays a five-man defensive front.
Kansas will enter Saturday's game in a position similar
to last years. Kansas was 4-1 and ranked 13th nationally.
After Nebraska pounded them, 56-0, they failed to win
another game, ending the season 4-7.
