Coach: Solid game necessary to beat Jayhawks
By Bob Asmussen
Don't tell anyone, but the Kansas Jayhawks come into
Saturday's game with Nebraska with a 5-2 record.
In spite of that, no one seems to be taking the Jay
hawks seriously. They have been made a 28-point under
dog by local oddsmakers, but Nebraska Coach Osborne
said it will take a solid performance to beat them.
"If you're 5-2, you must be doing something right,"
Osborne said. "Their preseason schedule hasn't been that
difficult, but they still had to win."
Osborne said the Jayhawks are healthier then they've
been in a long time. The only Jayhawk definitely ruled
out of the game is Kerwin Bell. Bell suffered a knee injury
against Kentucky. He is expected to be out for the season.
Replacing Bell will be his younger brother, Dino Bell.

Nebraska quarterback Turner Gill (12) escapes a Missouri blitz long enough to get his pass off in last week's 6-0
Husker win at Columbia Mo. The Huskers will try to keep their perfect conference record intact when they host
the Kansas Jayhawks Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
Osborne said he is impressed with Kansas quarterback
Frank Seurer. Last week against Kansas State, Seurer
threw for 160 yards. It was his best day yardage-wise this
season.
"The. thing I've noticed in the last two weeks is how
well Seurer has played," Osborne said. "He's looked very
good."
Osborne said the Kansas kicking game has been impres
sive. KU punter Bucky Scribner leads the Big Eight in
punting.
'They have a good defense," Osborne said. "I think
they've been happy with the play of their defense and
their offense is getting better.
"I'm surprised by the attitudes of some people," Os
borne said. "Kansas has got a good football team. They
have an experienced defense. They've also got good size
on defense. We're going to have to play well to beat
them."
Osborne said the Huskers were in good shape physical
ly. Mark Moravec has been ruled out for the game, and
Todd Brown didn't practice Wednesday. Henry Waechter
returned to practice for what Osborne labelled a limited
practice. Waechter re-sprained his ankle in practice Tues
day. There are two position changes for Saturday's game.
Rodney Lewis regained his cornerback spot and Roger
Craig will start at I-back. Lewis has not started since the
Perm State game.
'The Kansas game is just like the Iowa game," Osborne
said. "Just because we beat them last year doesn't mean
we're going to win this year."

Kansas advised to request U. N. help Saturday
The World Series is over, and basketball season starts
today., That can only mean the football season is slowly
coming to an end, even as autumn, fades into winter.
But remember, as Douglas MacArthur might have said,
"Old football fans never die. They just wait for the gymn
astics season to start."
Kansas at Nebraska. The United Nations should send in
an international peacekeeping force to protect the Jay
hawks from annihilation in this game.
Kansas has a pretty decent record, 5-2, but the teams
they've beaten don't exactly scare your socks off.
to score 42 either. The net result should be about the
same: Oklahoma 42, Colorado 7.
Oklahoma State at Missouri. You can bet Missouri is in
a pretty vile mood this week after its loss to Nebraska.
Considering that even normally they're in a pretty bad
mood this doesn not bode well for the Cowboys: Missouri
28, Oklahoma State 9.
Iowa State at Kansas State. The Cyclones had a sur
prisingly tought time with Colorado last week, but the
Wildcats should turn out to be pussycats: Iowa State 30,
Kansas State 7.

Add the fact that several of the Jayhawk victories have
been squeakers, while Nebraska has generally romped, and
you have the making of a rout.
That shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone since the
Jayhawks haven't beaten Nebraska since 1968. In fact, of
the 12 games played since then, Kansas has failed to score
in half of them.
They might score this week but it's a good bet that the
Blackshirts will once again keep the opposition out of the
end zone: Nebraska 48, Kansas 3.
Mississippi State at Alabama. This is for the bragging
rights in the Southeast Conference. That's a little like hav
ing the best hockey team in Saudi Arabia. It's nice to talk
about but it doesn't mean a thing.
Still, this game could decide who gets to go to the
Sugar Bowl, and the chance to spend New Year's Eve in
New Orleans is not something to sneeze at. It's a habit the
Alabama fans have grown accustomed to: Alabama 21
Mississippi State 10.
Perm State at Miami Fla. With the exception of
Murder's Row in November (Alabama, Notre Dame and
Pitt) the lions have a lame schedule. That has enabled
them to get a pretty secure foothold on the No, 1 spot.
(At least as secure as anyone is going to get this year.)
Miami will be the first test Perm State has had since the
Nebraska game. They'll be fired up for this game but I'm
still enough of a Nebraska chauvinist to believe that if we
can't beat Penn State at home, no one can: Penn State 24,
Miami 14.
Colorado at Oklahoma. The Buffs aren't going to give
up 82 points like they did last year, but they're not going

Golfer likes school-sport mix
By Mary Sue Hergert
Nebraska golfer Cathy Nelson says she has found
the perfect formula for an overall education: golf and
school.
Nelson, a sophomore business major from Millard,
who has played the No. 1 position on and off this fall,
won the Iowa State Invitational and placed second in
the Kansas Invitational.
Nelson also won the Nebraska State Match Play
Tournament last summer and has participated in the
United States Women's Amatuer and the Women's
Trans-National tournament.
"I like to mix things. I don't want to limit myself to
just golf or just school. The combination provides
better background and better learning abilities,"
Nelson said.
"With my upbringing, school and grades have always
been important. A good education is always a good
. foundation for the future."
Nelson said she does not perceive golf as a future.
"Right now golf is a way of enjoyment and it is a
challenge. It is something I enjoy working at, but I
never have had the desire to go professional," Nelson
said.
"Being a pro would take the fun out of gold. I could
not take the competition week after week."
Nelson said she has learned a lot from the sport.
"I learn to get along with people. I meet interesting
people from interesting fields. It has broadened my
outlook on opportunities one can have,,'
Nelson said golf has made her more confident and
self assured on and off the golf course.
"You have to be smart, tactful and poised on the
golf course. You have to consider all your options on
the course,' she said.
Nelson said Coach Gerald Fisher has helped in her
golf education.
"Fish has changed my mental game. I used to be
intimidated by girls I played with that hit the ball
further than I did or someone who had a reputation as
a good golfer,
"I learned to play the golf course rather than the
opponent. I have learned to give 100 percent and then
wait and see how you come out at the end of the day."
Although Nelson is a top golfer for the team, she
doesn't necessarily like to play the No. 1 position.
"When I play number one, I feel pressure to do well.
I would much rather play number five because it moti
vates me to play better. I tell myself I don't like being
in that position (five) and that benefits my golf game
because I work hard to move out of the position."
She said golf and school are a perfect compliment to
each other and one with out the other would not be
easy to do.
