The Lincoln Star from Lincoln, Nebraska • 13

Soturcfoy. Nov. 14, 1970 I Ih' Lincoln Star 13 o)flfl Ul FRO -WILDCATS HAVE FIRST WINNING SEASON SINCE 1954; EYEING FIRST TITLE SINCE 1934- Addition Of Poise Said Key To Kansas State Success Record Day For Huskers have poise and that's least a tie for the Big Eight title. In two of those four wins, Dickey has led drives in the cioMngTninutes dF frie fourtn quarter to pull out the victories. Against Missouri, Dickey took the Wildcats 77 yards in the last four minutes foe a 17-13 comeback win, hitting seven of 10 passes on the drive, including the touchdown aerial, a 20-yarder to Mike Creed.

And against Oklahoma the previous week, the Wildcats were down by 14-7 in the fourth quarter when Dickey led them on an 83-yard which makes it tough for a team to get ready lor us in just one week." Recalling last year's 10-7 Huskers shut off the high-scoring Wildcat offense that was averaging better than 30 points per game, Dickey notes, "I don't think we went into that game with a good game plan. "And Nebraska had a lot of big, strong guys up front (on defense)." It's those big, strong guys up front, who make quarterbacking a tough task, according to Dickey. "The toughest thing to do is keep your eye on a pass receiver hooking over the middle when you catch a glimpse of a big lineman coming at you," he observes. "You know yuu're gomia jjet creamed, but you have to stand in there and throw the ball anyway." Huskers with the assignment of getting to Dickey are Black Shirts Willie Harper, John Adkins, Larry Jacobson, Dave Walline and Ed Periard. Among them, they've gotten to opposing ball carriers behind the line of scrimmage 31 times for losses totaling 189 yards.

Harper and Periard have been the leaders, making nine stops for losses of 73 yards and 10 for 51 yards, respectively. Jacobson has made seven tackles behind the line oi sc'ifrnmage for losses of a2 yards. But Dickey, who owns nearly every Big Eight passing record, figures he has good protection from his offensive line. "The offensive line has been doing a great job," he points out. "A lot of the quarterbacks we've played against would like to have the lime I'm getting." Dickey, who was labeled a Heisman Trophy candidate before the season opened, has given up those thoughts ribs that slowed him early in the year and kept him out of a couple of games.

"I'm not worried about that," he says. "In order to get it you have to have a great year and I got off to a bad start. I just don't think about it that much anymore."

Three years later, the Wildcats had a shot at a winning season, capturing five of their first six outings in 1969, but four straight losses at the close of the season left them still trying to get above the mark.

So what's the difference between coming back from adversity this year, adversity that also included a ban on bowl trips, and not being able to come back from the Missouri loss a year ago. "Poise," says Dickey in a single word. "We bad pride before and we wanted to be good," he points out, "But we didn't Fever something you've got to have." And there are a couple of "mm fe-Tangibifc'nftingy "thav Dickey figures make the Wildcats tougher this year. "Our offensive line is about 10 to 15 pounds heavier per man and they've got another year of experience," he observes." K-State also has adopted a shifting offense.

By ODELL HANSON Associated Press Writer Nebraska's fourth-ranked Cornhuskers need only a win over Kansas State today virtually to insure a post-season bowl bid, and football fever in this land of the "Go Big Red" always high has become torrid. Ticket manager Jim Pittenger reported Friday he has received requests for more than 11,000 bowl tickets from fans expecting the Huskers to see post-season action somewhere. Some writers condition their requests on Nebraska going to a specified bowl. Others say they'll go anywhere. The clamor for ducats is typical of ticket pressure which has made the 67,000 seat Memorial Stadium a sellout for every home game this year and has sent Red clad Nebraskans by the thousands to out-of-state contests.

When Nebraska played Kansas at Lawrence in mid-season, Nebraska coach Bob Devaney and Kansas coach Pepper Rodgers met on the field before the game. The stands vere just beginning to fill. Pepper eyed the sea of red, painted by early-arriving Husker followers, and cracked: "Some time I'd like to play you guys at home." The migration of at least 15,000 Nebraskans to Boulder, for a game two weeks ago contributed to the largest attendance at a sports event in Rocky Mountain history. Iowa State last week, with fully 10,000 Nebraskans on hand for a HuskerCyclone clash, recorded its first full house ever. Nebraska, under NCAA rules, cannot be tendered bowl invitations until 6 p.m.

today and no immediate decision on acceptance is likely. A player vote and administration approval would be needed. What concerns the undefeated Conhuskcrs more immediately is the 1:30 p.m. clash with resurging Kansas State. More than 67,000 will jam the oval if weather doesn't deter, and Pittenger guesses he could have sold another 10,000 to 15,000 tickets had seats been available.

Followers of K-State's Purple Power were provided 4,000 tickets and the Wildcat ticket office has been "screaming for more," he said. Newspapers have done a brisk business in ticket want ads. The few with tickets to sell have asked publicly up to $15 apiece for the $6 pasteboards. The Omaha World-Herald utilizes a special "ticket interchange" want ad classification to handle the business. Husker football fever has shown itself in other ways.

Memorial Stadium's half-million dollar press box as well as the new AstroTurf have become points of interest, drawing many tour groups. One night recently a bus load of cub scouts were on the AstroTurf sidelines as Devaney and the Huskers wound up practice. The youngsters rushed onto the field and Devaney and player stars spent a half hour signing scores of autographs. Sports information director Don Bryant reports a brisk business in photographs, many used to decorate the buses which bring outstate Nebraskans into Lincoln by the thousands. He says also he is constantly being asked to supply helmets, footballs, uniforms and other football paraphernalia to be used as decorations for dances and parties.

The red hats not to mention red coats, jackets, sweaters, shirts, pants, et cetera which have become standard apparel for Husker followers have become trophies in themselves outside the state. Former Husker all-American Bobby Reynolds of Lincoln had his red cowboy hat snatched away as he approached the stadium at Iowa State last week. Lacking some of the speed and the blockers who helped him to an all-America title 20 years ago, Reynolds gav up the trophy without even a chase. tea ii us fit mill "Kk.
