September 24, 1C33 Kearney, Ne

ditionally a power in -the National
Ascacbtion of Intercollegiate Athlet
ics Division I football tcsms. However,
because of the D: lied shadow that
rises h!h above Llr.cclri and stretches ..
over this centrd Nebraska town, Ante- -lope
football many times has to take a
back c:r.t to the Husbcrs.
Ke-rneyJiead ccn.ch Claire Boroff
said he b tired cf people in Kearney
making games hi Lincoln their top
priority. . .' ' ... ..
It was evident on this night, though,
that a lot of people at the Kearney-Minnesota-!
'crris came were not get
ting overly excited about the Ante
lopes. Most of the crowd didn't bother
to show up until after 7:10 p.m. for the
7:30 p.m. kickofT. When they did, they'
were more eaer to discuss Nebraska's
42-10 victory against UCLA and show .
eff varying decrees of sunburn they
had received sitting in Memorial Sta
dium in Lincoln.
The parents section seemed to be
the exception. Most of that section was
filled early, and almost all were
dressed in some sort ofLopcr blue for
Kearney.;.'
"I'm here to watch my grandson,"
PhjfJs Greveing of Central City said. "I
had to leave the Nebraska game early
to get here. This is really different after
being in Memorial Stadium."
Foster Field is a small stadium, well
suited for Kearney State. College's
needs. It has a cinder running track
around the outside of the football field,
and reminds one of a high school field
with its 8,000 bleacher seats lining the
east and west sides of the field.
'''""These games aren't, any. different-,
from hih school," one former Kearney
State player said, "except the coaches
take all the fun out of playing." f
"Lcperman," the school's self-elected
mascot and head cheerleader, was
quick to defend the program, though.
"They (the students) do get fired
up," he said. "It's just that the Nebraska-UCLA
game takes away a lot of
before-the-ame activities. There'll be
some good parties alter the game." -
- Lcperman is a junior from Waverly.
He said he enrolled at KSC because of
the school's size. -. Its .er.rcllmcr.t,. b -

the students are freni the trea, and
there seems to te i?i:;:;:e that Kearney
State is not Just for Kearney, but for ail
of central Nebraska.
Grevelng's grandson, Brett Kuhn of
Aurora, and the rest of the team c.-n t
fare too well that nlht rcalnst the
Cougars of Morris, Minn.
The Antelopes, despite outweighing
the Cougars by about 10 pounds per
man, lost a tight 13-7 game. Mm-nesota-Morrb
spent the who!e game
trying to hold back Kearney, and the
team's members showed the type of
emotional effort it was for them.
The Cougars traveled with only 43
players and none of them was on an
.athletic scholarship. None had been
red-shirted, either, and many times
the field was flooded with 1 8-year-olds
.who wouldn't attend their first college
class for two days,
The Morris coaching staff consisted
' cf two men who were too busy to worry
about individual problems on the
bench. The Morris cheering section
consisted of about 25 parents and
friends cf the team. -.-
Thus, the team had to make up for
the lack of personnel both on the
coaching stall and in the stands. The
older players spent most of their free
time encouraging and teaching the
younger players. ;
With two minutes left In the game,
, and Morris leading by six points, Kear
ney wa3 driving for what seemed
would be the winning touchdown.
Then, the Morris cheering section took
over. Not the cheering section in the
stands, but the players. They began to
chant "Cougars" to help exhort their
defense to hold off the" suddenly

Kearney State fumbled on the Morris
1-yard line and the Cougars held on for
