Near-Record Crwd An official estimate of the crowd was "over 39,000." A. J. Lewandowski, NU ticket boss, said the official count wont be in for several days, but he added: "This is as close to 40,000 (a record) as we can get and still miss." Four Captains The Aggies had four captains and apparently in numbers there is strength because they won the toss. The captains were Herb Wolf, B.

P. Haddleston, Gene Henderson and Don Roobins. Doran Post was the lone Husker captain. One-Armed Guard sidering the personnel at Ohio Stale and the boys we played today, he did a great Job that day. Nebraska has good kids and they hit hard, but they argnt as talented as our boys and 'they're not very quick." Beth coaches weren't very happy with the work turned in by their first teams.

Glassford said: "Our unit wasn't moving the ball, so we used the second unit (most of the second half) and it did a pretty good job. Bryant, who also used subs during most of the last half, said: "The first team wasn't getting anything done, so I took them out." Bearisms "I thought our quarterbacking was the best it's been this year, but we were playing the weakest Warn we've played. By DON BRYANT Sprta Writer Nebraska Coach Bill Glassford had warned that Texas AIM would be a fast and quick ball club and ike was more than ever convinced after Saturday's 27-0 shellacking at the bands of the Aggies. "They're a fine ball club with great team speeed and they're going to give some teams in the Southwest trouble," Bill said. 1 a i said the Huskers fought hard, but made "too many mistakes honest mistakes." "We beat ourselves with fumbles and other costly mistakes," he added.

But it was Aggie Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant who bit the nail squarely with his summation of the Band Day game. "It was the first time since I've been at that we've played a team that we were so suDerior i "to we" Just outmanned Bear said. Smiling, the huge mentor, added, "I'm going to say something that I think I should say. I when Nebraska played Ohio State, Biff Glassford i the coaching job of the century certainly in my time." Bear explained by saying, "Con hi Action KTii3b Nebraska high school bands present colorful intermission.

Classfordisms "It was the little mistakes that hurt us we'd go pretty good and then fumble or get a pass intercepted blocks were missed when they could have helped us a lot. "We had a bad second quarter, after getting off to a good start. We didn't pass more because iroume giving ue passer several running passes were called, but the passer had to run. "We've got to put things together better combine the good things and eliminate the mistakes T. We Can't seem to jell offen sively We've got to play well for 60 minutes, not well for 50 and poorly for 10.

"Our defense is improving We are pursuing a little better. "The spirit fend morale of our boys is terrific." Injuries Slight Texas escaped without any injuries, while Nebraska had a couple of boys kicked in the back and Tackle Jack Fleming hurt his leg. But none of the injuries seemed serious. Record Snapped When the Aggies failed to convert after their final touchdown, it marked the first time this season they'd missed an extra point. And the reason the kick was missed was because of a bad pass from center.

Trimble is distinguished from his comrades in the line because he has only one arm. He lost his left arm below the elbow at the age of five iwhen firecrackers he was playing with turned out to be dynamite caps. Trimble is a good extra-point kicker and is considered a hardhitting lineman. He's also a fine baseball pitcher. Speed To Burn There's even proof that the Aggies are fast.
