zzoi oame won t be
same 'as Colorado rout
By Pete Wegman
Nebraska fans can expect a different
type of game next Saturday against
Missouri than the Cornhuskers' 63-21
mauling of Colorado last Saturday, accord
ing to two UNL football coaches.
Warren Powers, defensive backfield
coach, and Milt Tenopir, assistant offensive
coach, spoke Monday to members of the
Extra Point Club at the Elk's Club .
Tenopir, who scouted Missouri's 35-3
win over Kansas State Saturday, gave a
report on Missouri and Powers substituted
for Husker head coach Tom .Osborne,
who attended the funeral of former Husker
Tom Pate in Omaha. '
"111 go to Missouri with the idea well
be playing a different type of team than
Colorado," Tenopir said. "The last couple
of years Missouri has been kind of tough
onus.
Last year the Tigers from Columbia
used three fourth quarter touchdowns to
beat Nebraska 2 MO. Two years ago,
Missouri beat Nebraska 13-12.
Tenopir said two Missouri starters this
year, quarterback Steve Pisarkiewicz and
tailback Tony Galbreath, had their varsity
debuts against Nebraska last, year.
Galbreath, with a sore ankle, sat out
during last week's win and was replaced
by Curtis Brown, who gained 141 yards in
his first start.
'The way Brown ran, they really
didn't miss Galbreath," Tenopir said.
'There's a possibility they could use
Galbreath at fullback and Brown at tail
back against us."
He said Missouri has a good "scrambl-ing-type
defense.
"I do think we'll be able to throw
against Missouri," he said, "but I may be
out on a limb with that."
"You can throw all the past games out,
because you know Missouri is going to be
tough," he said.
"In the past two years we've played
good at times against Missouri, but we
couldn't seem to get the ball in the end
rone."
Powers said he thinks the Huskers are
doing better this year than in recent years
capitalizing on opponent's miscues.
He said Nebraska's win over Colorado
was one of the strangest games he has seen
as a coach.
Powers said he thinks Nebraska's defen
sive pursuit is the best in the nation.
'The pursuit causes breakdowns, causes
fumbles. Our defensive theory is to try to
control the tempo of the game," he said.
"It was the best game our offensive line
has had," he said. "Vince Ferragamo had a
tremendous day."

Telecast pushes kickoff back to noon
By Susie Reitz
Moving kickoff time back an hour and
a half is only one of the complications with
a nationally televised college football
game, according to Donn Bernstein,
National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) press director for ABC television.
The Nebraska-Missouri football game
Saturday will be telecast nationwide on
ABC. Kickoff is at noon CST. The change
from the scheduled 1:30 p.m. kickoff was
to accommodate ABC plans for a college
football doubleheader, Bernstein said.
The Nebraska-Missouri telecast was
announced during halftime of the USC
Notre Dame game last Saturday. The
decision to broadcast was made "sometime
during the first half of the Nebraska
Colorado game ," Bernstein said .
Open date
The broadcast was "pencilled in" to
fill the open Saturday, but the announce
ment was delayed until the outcome of
the Colorado-Nebraska game was apparent.
"We schedule them at the last minute,
because we don't want to schedule a team
who gets badly beaten," he said. "We keep
the options open.
"We want to broadcast the best possible
games with the widest interest," he said.
All scheduling plans must be approved
by the NCAA television committee and
follow NCAA guidelines, Bernstein said.
"In the event of an on-the-air decision
(such as the announcement of the
Nebraska-Missouri game), Jim Spence, the
ABC vice president for programming, is in
touch with Tom Hanson, chairman of the
television committee who ratifies those
decisions in behalf of the committee,"
Bernstein said.
Spence and Roone Arledge, president of
ABC sports, make the final decision of
which games to broadcast, Bernstein said.
National payment
ABC pays $487,857 for national and
$355,000 for regional telecasts, Dave
Cawood, public relations director for the
NCAA, said.
The NCAA takes a five and one-half
per cent assessment and the remainder is
split between the participating schools,
Cawood said.
In the Big 8, the total goes to the
conference and is divided evenly among
the eight members.
Every two years, new guidelines for
television broadcasts are set by the NCAA.
Current guidelines expire this year,
according to Bernstein.
Three telecasts
By NCAA rules, teams are limited to
three "charged" telecasts in two years,
he said. 'Charged" games are those
scheduled on regular season Saturdays.
Special exemption dates, which are not
charged, include Dec. 7, Sept. 7, Thanks
giving, the Friday after Thanksgiving,
Labor Day, Veterans' Dat, weekdays and
ABC's one "wildcard" Saturday, Bernstein
said.
"We only have one wildcard," he said.
No scholarships for Nobraskans
Ccsger prospects netted out of state
By Jim Hunt
Last season UNL head basketball coach
Joe Cipriano and his staff went out of state
to find prospects for the Husker basketball
team. Consequently, no Nebraska freshmen
will be on scholarship for the first time
since 1972.
Cipriano landed three players from Indi
ana Val Martin, Brian Banks and Carl
McPipe.
The other two recruits are Fernando
Chevannes from Panama City, Panama and
Allen Holder, a junior college transfer from
Seminole Junior College in Seminole, Okla.
"We feel that this was a good recruiting
year," Cipriano said. "We got what we feel
are some very good basketball players."
Highly sought
Martin, a 6 ft., 6 in forward, was one of
the most sought players in Indiana last
year. At John Adams High School in South
Bend, he was nsmed first team all-state by
"the Associated Press and United Press In
ternational. Martin averaged 20 points and
nine rebounds a game and belonged to an
Indiana all-star team that toured Russia
and Europe last summer.
"I like Lincoln because it is similar to
South Bend," Martin said. "It's a campus
town" and the people are friendly. I think it
is a good place to get an education.
'The basketball program at UNL has a
lot of potential," he said. "The new field
house shows that there is a lot of interest
in basketball in Nebraska. There are a lot
of good players on the team and 1 will be
pleased with myself if I make the varsity."
Banks, a 6 ft. guard from Hammond,
Ind.,. averaged 20 points a game and hit
63.8 per cent his senior year. Banks re
ceived all-state and all-sectional honors at
Hammond High School and played in Indi
ana's East-West prep All-Star Game.
Likes Lincoln
Banks, like Martin, said he likes Lincoln
ites, UNL and the Husker basketball pro
gram. Louisville and Arizona Universities
tried to recruit him.
Banks is joined at UNL by McPipe, a
6 ft., 8 in. center, who playet across town
at Hammond Technical. McPipe averaged
22 points and 15 rehnunri gain? hi!
senior year. He was named to all-sectional
and honorable mention all-state teams.
"I thought I could come down here and
Elay on a championship team," said
IcPipe, who was recruited by Indiana,
Notre Dame, and Virginia, among others.
"I came to UNL because I thought I could
fit into the system here better."
Chevannes, a 6 ft.. 5 in. forward, said he
came to UNL because he wanted to play
major college basketball and' get a good
education.
All-Panama
At Y Officios High School in Panama
City, Chevannes averaged 29 points and 10
rebounds per game. In high school he was
named all-Penama City, all-Panama and All
Star of 'the Central American and
Caribbean countries.
Chevannes was named the most valuable
player after scoring 34 points in a game
against a Russian team.
"There is a big difference between
basketball in Panama and the United
States," Chevannes said. "It is a lot more
physical up here. In international compe
tition we had to learn to play physical
basketball."
While at Seminole Junior College,
Holder, a 6 ft., 3 in guard-forward,
averaged 15 points a game and was the
team's leading rebounder, averaging 10.3
rebounds a game.
"The Big 8 has a lot of tough guards,"
Holder said. "It has a lot of toughl compe
tition, 1 am really looking forward to play
ing basketball in the Big 8."
Player of year
Holder gained all-state honors in high
school at Rancho High School in Las
Vegas. He was named Nevada's 1973
Co-High School Player of the Year.
Holder listed the new field house, a
good business college and respect for the
UNL coaching staff among his reasons for
coming to UNL.
The other open Saturdays are often
misnamed "wildcard,' but they are charged
against the teams, wildcards arenV'
Missouri has appeared twice on television
tfua season, ne said, but the Missouri
Alabama game on a Monday was not '
charged. The Missouri-Illinois game also
was telecast.
Following the Nebraska-Missouri game,
regional games will begin at 3 pan. CST.
The University of Southern California
(USQ-University of California game will
be the "lead regional" game broadcast in
80 per cent of the nation, Bernstein said.
Louisiana State University vs. Mississippi
. University and South Carolina vs. North
Carolina State will be broadcast in smaller
"areas of interest."
Coach satisfied
by crew efforts
Nebraska crew coach Ron Rusthoven
said he was "extremely satisfied" with the
efforts of UNL's crew Saturday at the
Head-of-the-Charles Regatta in Boston.
Nebraska's women's four-person shell
finished 8th of 40 entries with a time of
22:23.4, less than two minutes behind
Yale's first place shell in the three-mile
race.
UNL's men's heavyweight four placed
ninth of 49 shells in the intermediate
college division and 22nd in the elite or
Olympic division, with a time of 19.14.
Yale was first with 18:20.7.
Nebraska has filed an official protest
against Boston University for interference
in the race. Rusthoven said the official
results won't be released until later this
week.
The protest was filed after the Boston
University shell refused to let the UNL
team pass, Rusthoven said. The rules of
the meet stated that slower crews had to
allow faster crews to pass.
The men's lightweight four was in the
toughest race, according to Rusthoven, and
finished 22nd with 18:56.2, less than a
minute behind the first place U.S. National
team.
Assistant coach Mark Stormberg was
seventh of 30 single scull entries in the
Olympic division.
"I think we're really quite satisfied. The
competition there keeps getting tougher
and tougher," he said. "I thought we
closed out the fall in pretty good shape."
An estimated 50,000 spectators
watched 2,870 competitors, 685 boats,
and 134 dubs and schools participate In
18 events in the 11th annual regatta, the
world's largest, according to Rusthoven.
First place overall in the regatta went
to Harvard, which won the Paul Revere
trophy. Pennsylvania was second and MIT
was third.
Nebraska is ranked third behind Ohio
State and Oklahoma in both national
wire service polls, Missouri is ranked 12th
in both polls, Colorado is ranked 16th in
the Associated Press ratings. Oklahoma
State is tied for 15th place with Miami
(Ohio) and Maryland in the United Press
