The squad of 48 grid stars are expected to arrive in Montgomery Friday and Saturday with the first practice session when the two top teams tangle in the Orange Bowl. Devaney's Cornhuskers are the nation's No. 1 rushing offense team, and in 10 games the past season they averaged 262.6 yards per game.

They ranked eighth in total offense, but the Cornhuskers are known mainly as a running team with only an occasional pass. Coach Shug Jordan's Tigers rank eighth in the nation in total defense, which means the Tigers will get scheduled for Saturday.

HURRY TO 121 COMMERCE STREET Open till 9:00 except Saturday Christmas Eve Rival coaches of the two squads are slated to hold a powwow Friday night to make plans for the affair. They will agree on certain defenses and other facts concerning the playing of the annual all-star game. McLendon will miss the meeting, however, as he leads his LSU sense that neither has seen very much action offensively. One of the two gentlemen thrust into the spotlight before a national TV audience twice in two weeks was Jack Hurlbut. Hurlbut, a 190 -pound senior was scheduled to be a regular behind the great Pat Trammell team against Baylor in the Blue-bonnet Bowl Saturday.

He'll fly to Montgomery Sunday to take from Houston, has been during the national champion the Tide's number one defensive an excellent opportunity to show its wares against those husky Nebraska warriors. Nebraska, like Auburn, sports one of the country's best all around backfields. Dennis Claridge, senior quarterback who weighs 210 pounds, has picked up 179 yards rushing Willie Ross, a 190-pound senior, has churned up 496 yards rushing, and Kent McCloughan, a 192-pound junior, has gained 216 yards at the halfbacks; senior fullback Rudy Johnson, a 198-pounder, leads the team in rushing with a total of 573 yards. The Cornhuskers' four backs have gained a total of 1,509 yards this season against a total of 1,590 yards by Auburn's "fearless four." All-America Jimmy Sidle, of course, heads the Tiger yardage department. He has gained 1,006 yards rushing, while Tucker Frederickson has 311, Larry Rawson 184, and George Rose 89.

The difference in the two teams' rushing appears to be the fact that Nebraska has more good rushers than the Tigers. For instance Nebraska has 10 players who have gained over 100 yards running, while Auburn has only three. AUBURN AND NEBRASKA have similar records as far as points allowed and scored. The Tigers have blanked three of their opponents Chattanooga, Florida and Georgia while Nebraska has allowed every team on its schedule to score at least once.
