We'd better be ready to play and I think we will be." Missouri's Dan Devine "We'll have to play above our capabilities. We could improve as much this week as we did last, and it probably wouldn't be enough." DEVINE 118-35-8 75.8 2 Big 8 Titles I 'r' I iil I EL 8-2-1 Sg 9-1-0 10-0-0 The Huskers mry enjoy an offensive edge in the passing department with quarterbacks Jerry Tagge and Van Brownson both completing passes at a better than 60 ratio. Tagge has hit on 45 of 68 at-temps for 66.2, 630 yards and five touchdowns while Brownson, seeing only limited action thus far, has connected on 7 of 11 for 63.6, 49 yards and one TD.

They'll be passing against a team that ranks last in the conference in pass defense, but that may be because teams have found the Missouri defense so tough to run against. The Huskers lead the league in passing offense, rushing defense and total defense while Missouri is best in rushing offense and total offense with the Huskers No. 2 in the latter category. Local Scores East 20 Beatrice 7 since Devaney came to Nebraska in 1962, each has won four, but the thing that bothers Devaney about that is Missouri has won three in a row. "Our seniors have never beaten Missouri and it's been so long since we've won that I can't remember it," Devaney says.

Missouri folks can remember it, however, since it was a 354 lashing by the Huskers at Memorial Stadium and there were TV cameras taking it all in. Thit was one of the worst beatings a Devine coached Missouri team has ever suffered, but no one expects it to be that way this time around. Missouri Slim Favorite Big Eight Skywriters tabbed Missouri as a slim favorite over the Huskers for the Big Eight title at the conclusion of their annual tour. And with the exception of the Tigers' 37-14 loss to Air Force, neither has done anything to change that outlook. The Tigers By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Two of the nation's winningest college football coaches, the two teams picked to finish 1-2 in the Big Eight, and two guys named Joe will do battle on Nebraska's Memorial Stadium AstroTurf at 1:30 p.m.

Saturday afternoon. Nebraska's Bob Devaney, the nation's winningest coach with a 77.9 winning percentage, and Missouri's Dan Devine, No. 3 in the winningest percentage category at 75.8, were assistant coaches together at Michigan State before going out as head coaches and neither has ever had a losing season Devaney in 13 years and Devine in 15 campaigns. And both are started off in the right direction in their 14th and 16th seasons, respectively, as head coaches with Devaney's Husker squad off to a 3-0-1 start and Devine's Missouri team with a 3-1-0 record. Four Games Apiece In their head-to-head meetings 1955 1956 1957 123 carries while Orduna ranks third with 344 yards in 32 carries.

And each has thrown a touchdown pass with Moore hitting Mel Gray on a 72-yarder against Baylor and Orduna tossing one 14 yards to Guy Ingles last week at Minnesota. There's another guy in each backfield who can carry the ball nearly as well as the two Joes Missouri fullback James Harrison and Nebraska I-back Jeff Kinney, who shares time with Orduna. Harrison has gained 161 yards in 21 jaunts and Kinney has picked up 231 yards on 51 trips. NU Has Passing Edge have rolled over Baylor 38-0, Minnesota 34-12 and Oklahoma State 40-20 while Nebraska hrs beaten Wake Forest 36-12, Army 28-0 and Minnesota 35-10 while tying Southern Cal 21-all. This has resulted in the Tigers coming into the game being ranked 13th by United Press International and 16th by The Associated Press with the Huskers No.

Block's suit using language virtually identical to Barton's and accompanied by affidavits signed by 10 Ann Arbor residents asserted football games are as much a common nuisance as rock festivals. Laws Not Enforced The affidavits said adults and minors openly drank beer, wine and liquor in the stands, grade-school children finished whatever alcohol their elders couldn't, alcohol-befuddled drivers created traffic jams hours after the game, and police did not enforce drug and alcohol laws.

"Milliken said after Goose Lake that if rock festivals and drugs were synonymous then there would be no more rock festivals. Now, the governor knows just as well that college football and illegal posession and consumption of alcohol go hand in hand," Block said. Washtenaw County Circuit Judge Ross Campbell Friday set a hearing on the suit for next Friday the day before the game. Milliken, who declined to comment further, said, "I intend to be there as a fan" provided the game goes on. So do about 101,000 other people.

Ann Arbor, Mich. (UPI) If it's illegal to hold rock festivals for thousands of drug-and-rock aficionados, it's illegal to stage football games for thousands of whisky-guzzling fans, a former sports editor turned janitor contended Friday. To test his theory, Joe Block, 22, a former sports editor of the University of Michigan Daily, has filed suit to stop the annual confrontation between Michigan and Michigan State here Oct. 17. "I decided to file this suit because Gov.

(William Milliken and other so-called law-and-order political figures in this state have selectively applied the law to repress one form of mass culture while allowing another form of mass culture to exist," said Block, now a janitor and steward in the Michigan Union. 'Not Against Football "I am not against football games. But I am for equal law enforcement. If the law applies to rock festivals, then it should also apply to football games." On Sept. 6, Jackson County Prosecutor Bruce Barton sought and won a court order banning a rock festival at Goose Lake where, a month before, 200,000 teenagers had openly sold and smoked marijuana, taktn By CONNIE GILLISPIE Star Staff Writer After more than five inches of snow on the ground, high winds and gloomy skies, Lin- coin residents were able to see the sun peek through the clouds Friday and the snow melt.

It was a day without heat, and electricity and anticipation of a long weekend for school children who missed classes Friday in Lincoln schools. This was the earliest snowstorm recorded In Lincoln's history. The earliest previous measurable snowfall occurred Oct. 10, 1932. The heavy wetness of the snow and the accompanying wind, rather than snow depth, proved to be the biggest problem for Lincolnites.

A combination of workmen from the Lincoln Public Works, Utilities, and Fire Departments and the Lincoln Electric System started their job of removing branches and snow from city streets and getting power lines and poles repaired early Friday morning. Dawn To Dusk Street Supt. Lloyd Bomberger said, "We'll have to play ft by ear to see how things are by Saturday night." The work crews, he said, were to work from dawn till dusk to get the city back into shape. "The Biggest problem we have had in our clean-up efforts was the continual falling of branches. We would get an area cleaned up and minutes later, branches would be covering it again," Bomberger added.

Lincoln residents were advised through local radio stations to contact electricians since many problems could not be solved without their aid. 'It's Really A Mess' As one electrician said, "I think that people started down the phone book, in alphabetical order, until they found an electrician who could come to their homes. We've got every electrician out on repair jobs right now. It's really a Because of power failures, all elementary and high schools In Lincoln called off classes for the day. Catholic schools had been scheduled to be closed anyway because of a teachers' institute.

The University of Nebraska did have classes since it has it's own power supply. Nebraska Wesleyan University started morning classes but sent students and university personnel home during the afternoon. Union College, in a blacked-out area of southeast Lincoln, suspended activities for the day. Not Paralyzed As one Lincoln Police Department official said, "Lincoln isn't paralyzed by the storm, but it sure is slowed down a lot." Many Lincoln employes spent the day at home, trying to keep warm, with many stores in business districts closed. As one grocery store announced, "our store is open and ready to take care of your needs," getting a good day of business in over competitors who were without power.

As always, babies seem to like to come during 'bad weather' and Friday wasn't an exception in several Lincoln hospitals. Traveling in bad weather brought mixed reactions to travelers and travel agencies. Bus departures were generally on time, with an increased number of bus passengers using the service. As one buslines official said, "Many Lincoln residents decided to 'leave the driving to us' today." Airlines were tied up with late-departing flight schedules in the Lincoln, Omaha and Des Moines airports. Flights were running behind schedule, making passengers miss connecting flights from other airports.

Lincoln City Lines ran continually throughout the morning and by mid afternoon got back into their scheduled runs. As the snow started to melt away, Lincolnites found streets in near flood conditions as water streamed down city streets. Underpasses in several areas of Lincoln were closed due to the depth of water that ran right into low-lying areas. "By Monday, we'll probably never know we had an inch of snow," one man said. "I guess that's the chance you take by beingaNebraskan."

Rogers nevertheless expressed cautious optimism at the prospects for peace negotiations in the Middle East and in Indochina. He told a news conference that all or substantially all U.S. forces will be out of combat in South Vietnam by May 1. He cited this as evidence of the success of the Vietnamization program which he said should help persuade the North Vietnamese they should now begin to negotiate peace.

Acceptance Predicted Rogers said he believes the Communists in Southeast Asia will, accept President Nixon's five-point settlement proposal announced this week, including a standstill cease-fire. One reason for his assessment, Rogers said, is the strong support the plan has received domestically and among foreign governments. The secretary said the Soviet Union and other nations were advised of the Nixon proposal in the hope that they would consider it carefully "and do what they could to aist" In promoting active negotiations at Paris. On the Middle East, however, he was sharply critical of the Soviet government "We are disappointed," he said. Jrhe alleeed violations of the cease Heating 'Contraptions' Can Be Highly Unsafe that Soviet personnel are there to assist in the construction and manning of those (antiaircraft missile) sites." He will present "evidence of the violations" to Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko when the two meet in New York, probably a week hence, he said.

"As far as the Soviet Union is concerned," Rogers told the news conference, "we're disappointed disappointed not only in the missile sites in the 50 kilometer zone, which must have been deployed with, if not the active participation, certainly with the knowledge and consent of the Soviet Union we are disappointed in the rheotroic that they are using, rhetoric which is reminiscent of the cold war days, very strident in tone." But Rogers said his criticisms of Soviet behavior do not mean the United States shouldn't try to get along with the Soviet Union. "We are going to continue to negotiate," he said. "We are going to continue to negotiate realistically and la full realization that there may be violations of agreements. We are going to provide verification procedures to bs sure that we are not at a disadvantage if violations Rejecting a suggestion that the North Vietnamese might iiaiiy refuse to deal from weakness, Rogers said he thought they could now achieve objectives, including a political settlement, that would assure them of recognition of all political forces in South Vietnam in other words, a place for Viet Cong political elements in liue with whatever their real Ower is in the countryside.

Lows Saturday night in the 30s. More Weather, Page 3 Enrollment on the Lincoln campuses of the University of Nebraska has reached a new high of 20,810 this fall, an increase of approximately 1,200 students compared to a year ago. 1 President Joseph Soshnik said the growth represents an increase of 63 in the total enrollment on the Lincoln campuses. National projections forecast an increase of 4 in institutions of higher education this fall. Graduate enrollment on the Lincoln campuses totals 3,159 compared to 2,827 a year ago.

Here is a summary of the fall enrollment by components: Graduate up 332; Agriculture 1,409, up 42; Arts and Sciences 4,621, up 267; Business Administration 2,069, down Engineering and Architecture 2,387, down 34; Home Economics 935, up 54; Students-at-Large 211, up 64; Teachers 4,321, up 13; Undeclared 792, up 378; Dentistry -275. up 26; Law -367, up 39; Pharmacy -J-264, up 15. A woman and two children narrowly escaped a lire Friday when a kerosene lamp that had been left burning in a house set fire to a piece of plastic and then a piano, Fire Inspector Fred Soflin Jr. said. This is only typical of the dangers Lincolnites are facing, he said, when they nse equipment not designed to heat houses during the current electrical failure.

Other, dangerous devices to heat homes are candles, fuel oil lamps, kerosene space heaters and gas stoves, Soflin said. He said all combustibles should be kept at least 18 inches, if not more, away from such devices. Of particular danger, Soflin said, are gas stoves. He said gas stoves can overheat a whole kitchen' especially if the oven is left open. Air of these devices, Soflin said, should be closely watched and never left unguarded.
