attention from him "He's too little to play football" one Cornhusker kidded Even Coach Bob Devaney took a friendly crack at Ingles "Don't believe a word he says" Devaney said "he lies" INGLES is the

Nebraska career record for catches (78) and yards (I212) And this despite his relatively small size: 5 feet 9 inches 158 pounds "He doesn't have size or speed but he's the best we have had Over a three-year span" Devaney said admiringly "He runs his pass routes exceptionally well and he has good moves" "I run the 40 in 46 which isn't super slow" Ingles remarked "but it isn't super fast either" INGLES LEARNED to run precise pass patterns by watching the pros on television Saturday he was hoping to see part of the Baltimore-Cincinnati game before the Cornhuskers' 2 pm practice "Instant replay helps me study the pros' techniques You get an idea of how it should be done because they are experts" Ingles said His favorite is Paul War-field of the Miami Dolphins When Ingles was in high school he asked for War-field's No 42 which the latter was wearing at Cleveland Orange Boiail and continues to have at Miami "I was always small for football" Ingles continued "Even in high school I didn't do much until my senior year" All he did then was lead Omaha Westside to the state prep championship Still college coaches doubted that he could make it in big-time football ' The only offer I had was from Nebraska" Ingles said "and the coaches told me they thought the other two they recruited from my high school team had a better chance than I for success" THE OTHER two ex-West-- side High players

beaten Notre Dame instead of losing 3-0" Ingles added THE LITTLE pass receiver also rates LSU's pass desense the best he will face "Their cornerbacks Tommy Casanova and James Earley are just great fantastic' Ingles declared On the other hand Casanova and Earley probably haven't tried to keep their eyes on a receiver as small as Ingles Maybe he'll have a size advantage Blue-Gray Grid Stars Set
