page 14 daily nebraskan friday, October 24, 1975 By Pete Wegnian Two number one ranked collegiate football teams will clash Saturday in UNL's Memorial Stadium. No, the stadium won't be the scene of a battle between Ohio State and Oklahoma. Rather the Big 8's number one ranked defensive team, the Nebraska Corn huskeis, will host the Colorado (CU) Buffalos, leading the Big 8's offense. Nebraska's Blackshirts have allowed 193 yards and 9.5 points a game, while the Buffalos offense has been clicking at a 406 yard-per-game pace. The game, which may be tops in the collegiate ranks this weekend, took on an added aspect Thursday when it was announced by Mike Moran, Colorado Sports Information Service, that Colorado will travel to Linocln without two starters. Colorado head coach Bill Mallory has suspended starting tailback Tony Reed, starting linebacker Cary Campbell, and reserve split end Robert LaGarde. Reed and LaGarde were given citations for shoplifting Tuesday. Campbell received 16 stitches following a fight in a Boulder, Colo, night spot Tuesday. Campbell is suspended indefinitely and Reed has been suspended for five days. ' While the "irresistable force meets the immovable object" cliche , may be applicable to the game, another added element will be present: Nebraska also has the number two offensive team in the Big 8, averaging 399 yards. Colorado, 5-1 and 10th ranked nationally, is off to its best start since 1971 when the 10-2 Buffalos finished third nationally behind Nebraska and Oklahoma, respectively. Colorado's only loss came three weeks ago when the nation's number two team, the Oklahoma Sooners, won 21-20 when Colorado missed an extra point in the fourth quarter. Quarterback David Williams leads the CU offensive unit. Williams has rushed for 319 yards and passed for 627 to rank second in Big 8 total offense behind Kansas quarterback Nolan Cromwell. Williams, who started every game for CU last season and was academic all-big 8, has completed 58 percent of his passes for three touchdowns this season. P. t mmm f:7 r I I ' J J ft ,4 Three matches scheduled for UNL volleyball squad By Susie Reitz Traveling to Kearney Saturday, UNL women's volleyball team will face Kearney State, Wayne State and Concordia. At the Graceland College tournament last weekend, Kearney defeated UNL14-9, 12-8, but Nebraska is "ready for them thi3 weekend," said volleyball coach Pat Sullivan. Incorrect timing of the Graceland matches did not allow a complete match against Kearney, Sullivan said. "We were on a scoring streak when the match was cut short," she said. 'The extra minute or more left in the match could have meant a lot." UNL had 59 attacks against Kearney compared to 70 in a match with th Uni versity of Minnesota, which UNL defeated in full games, Sullivan said. 'Those 11 extra attacks added to the Kearney match could have meant 1 1 more points," she said. "We lost those when we didn't get the full game." Another opponent this weekend, Con cordia, was defeated 154, 15-6 by UNL earlier this year. UNL has not yet played Wayne, but defeated them "handily" 15-0, 15-7 early last year, Sullivan said. Wayne is currently undefeated. "The team isn't even thinking in terms of games or matches any more," Sullivan said. 'The girls are thinking of first place in regionals now.' There's a positive feeling and we're ready to go to it." The varsity spikers are 10-5 and JVs are 7-0 after matches Tuesday against Wesleyan and Hastings. The junior varsity defeated Wesleyan 's varsity 15-8, 7-15, 15-8. UNL's Marsha Ru pert had good matches and Janet Lindhurst was "hitting up a storm" in the Wesleyan match, Sullivan said. In the second match, UNL beat Hastings varsity 15-1, 15-3. Diane Oltman and Marsha Bartak had good second matches, Sullivan said. Next opponent for the JVs is Doane varsity Monday at Doane. r ' i -J Photo courtesy of CU Colorado quarterback David Williams is second in the Big 8 in total offense. Most of Colorado's ball-carrying chores have been handled by senior fullback Terry Kunz and junior tailback Reed . Reed, a transfer student from Antelope Valley Junior College (Ca.), won junior Billy Waddy's starting position this fall. Waddy, 1973 Big 8 freshman of the year who led Colorado in rushing last fall, will start in place of the suspended Reed. Reed is seventh in Big 8 rushing with an 86 yard-per-game average. Kunz, who missed Colorado's 31-20 win over Missouri last week because of a bruised instep, has fewer total yards than Reed, but is averag ing 88 yards per game, good for sixth in the conference. Kunz will play agains The Buffalos' offensive line averaging six feet five inches and 265 pounds, is the biggest in the Big 8 and may also be the largest collegiate offensive line. On defense, CU has the Big 8 defensive player of the week, defensive end Troy Archer. Archer had 10 solo and five assisted . tackles and caused a fumble against 1 Missouri last Saturday. Archer, however, is only Colorado's third leading tackier. Linebackers Bart Roth and Gary Campbell lead the Buffs in tackles this year. Sophomore Brian Cabral will start in Campbell's place. Overall, Colorado's defense is fourth in the Big 8. Colorado hasn't beat Nebraska since 1967 and has not had a lead in a game with Nebraska since a 7-0 first period margin at, Lincoln in 1969. Nebraska leads the series, 21 -11-1. "We'll be facing the most complete team we've played this year, in terms of passing, running and their defense in Neb raska ." Mallor v said . 'They have a superb defense attacks you all the time," he said, a typical great Nebraska defense." that "It's Riegsecker tops 33 lifters in in tramural weight lifting Saturday soccer battle Stadium to see By Chuck Beck Intramural weigh tlifting championships er.ded Wednesday as Dennis Riegsecker, representing the NU weightlifting club, won the Best Lifter Trophy out of 33 par ticipants in the meet.

Athletic director Bob Devaney granted UNL's soccer club permission to play the Colorado University (CU) Buffalos in Memorial Stadium immediately following the "UNL-CU football game Saturday, according to Jim Fullerton, soccef club president. "We've always thought it would be pretty nice to have a game in the stadium after a football game," Fullerton said. "Mr. Devaney has been very nice, very cooperative." Fullerton and club member Bob Bab cock have been coordinating publicity for the game, which was scheduled Monday. Schedule changed "Colorado canceled . a game with Northern Colorado to come here Satur day," Babcock said. "If it goes well Satur day, there's a possibility we could be play ing Iowa State (1SU) in the stadium follow ing that game (Nebraska plays ISU in football Nov. 15). "We have some long-range goals we're trying to kick off with this game." The club has a tentative commitment from the coach and four players from the St. Louis Blues, a professional soccer team, to stags a clinic in Lincoln sometime this semester, he added. Nebraska hasn't played Colorado in three years. The Huskers were scheduled to play CU last spring in the Big 8 tourna ment in Ames, la., but the Colorado team left the tournament .early, forfeiting to UNL.

The club won its first tournament ever earlier this fall when UNL beat York 1 1-1 to win the Concordia (Seward) Invitational. UNL's club is coached by English pro fessor Franz Blaha. Blaha however, will spend next year in Europe. "The problem with soccer is that people don't understand the rules. But it's" easier to understand soccer than football rules." Sunday the Huskers will host a team from Salina, Kan., at 2 p.m. in Memorial Stadium. The team, composed of students and businessmen, lost to Nebraska 6-1 during a downpour in Salina this fall. Fullerton said the club's biggest fail game will be Sunday, Nov. 2 when the Huskers travel to Bloomington, Ind. to play Indiana University under the lights.
