"I just talked to Pepper Rodgers (Kansas head coach at the time on the telephone and I didn't want to go to Kansas State and sit behind Lynn Dickey." Carlson says he chose Iowa State because "I didn't like Murray Warmath's (Minnesota coach) offense. The only time he passes is when its second or third down and 25 yards to go. "I liked Johnny Majors' offense." And about that "big cow on ice" bit again, he says, "My weight in junior college was blown all out of proportion.

They made it sound like I weighed 250 pounds. "If I had weighed that much, I wouldn't even have been able to move. It wasn't that way." as much pressure as there is here. You don't have to be in as good shape to do well when you're playing in junior college competition." To the Plunkett comparison, Carlson responded, "I've never seen Plunkett play except once on TV. I'd like to have the stature of Jim Plunkett, but I don't like to compare myself wlth other quarterbacks." As a high school athlete, Carlson was recruited by Iowa State and Minnesota, but his grades weren't good enough for him to meet the 1.6 predictability tables so he wound up at Rochester Junior College.

"While I was in junior college, Kansas and Kansas State both contacted me," he The second reference was to Carlson's ability which he has shown by ranking second only to Nebraska's Jerry Tagge in passing In the Big Eight with 87 completions In 184 attempts for 1,111 yards and five touchdowns since trimming down to 210 pounds. When the first reference was mentioned to him during the Big Eight Skywriters stop at Ames, Iowa, in early September, his reaction was less than friendly. "I don't know what he meant by that," Carlson replied. When it was explained to him, he agreed that he might have been a bit overweight. "There's just too much of the good life in junior college," he offered.

"There's not By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Iowa State football coach Johnny Majors was sitting in a City hotel suite last summer discussing his quarterback, Dean Carlson, with writers. "When he came to Iowa State, he was like a big cow on Ice," Majors described. A few moments later, he was saying, "He has the potential to be as good as Jim Plunkett (Stanford's Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback of 1970)." Majors' first reference was to the weight, which ranged In the neighborhood of 240 pounds, that Carlson carried on his 6-3 frame when he arrived on the Iowa State campus from Rochester, Junior College where he had passed for more than 2,000 yards. rp fH fo) (n) Ira la) S) In.

Kinney Closing In On Rushing Record NEEDS 68-YARD AVERAGE Senior I-back Jeff Kinney, who set two Nebraska records in last week's 31-7 win over Colorado, is within range this season of one of the biggest records in the Husker. book. The McCook runner, who has rushed for 1,924 yards, needs only 273 more to crack the standard set in the early 1950s by ail-American Bob Reynolds. That means he needs to average 68 yards per game in the final four games against Iowa State, Kansas State, Oklahoma and Hawaii. Kinney broke the NU touchdown record last week with his 29th, erasing the career mark of 28 shared by Reynolds and Joe Orduna and his 81st career pass reception last week gave him the pass reception mark previously held by Guy Ingles at 80.

While Kinney must wait a few more games before logging his name in the Husker record book again, a couple of Nebraska gridders could etch their name in the log again Saturday afternoon. But if one of those two, Jerry Tagge, does it, he'll simply be resetting his own records. With 11 touchdown passes this season, Tagge needs only two more to break his old record and with 1,503 yards in total offense he needs only 187 more to better his NU best of 1970. His favorite passing target, Johnny Rodgers, who broke Guy Ingles' career pass reception yardage mark last week, could add to his list of records Saturday afternoon. Rodgers, who has caught eight touchdown passes this season needs only two more to surpass the record set by Clarence Swanson in 1921.

The. Tagge-to-Rodgers passing combination also is likely to set several other records before the season ends. Tagge, with 96 pass completions, needs only 22 more to take Bob Churchich's name off that record season listing and he needs only 213 more passing yards to better his own standard of 1,536 for a single season. Rodgers. who has 567 yards this season in pass reception yards, needs only 144 more to surpass his own record and ne needs only four more touchdown passes to better the career mark of 18 set by Swanson in 1919-21.

Cyclones Also Nearing Records A couple of Iowa Staters also are closing in on school records, quarterback Dean Carlson and tailback George Amundson. Carlson needs only three more TD passes to snap the career mark of 18 held by Rich Mann and Amundson needs only 141 more yards rushing to crack the Iowa State season standard of 920 set by Dave Hoppmann. Cyclone Defender Out Iowa State will be trying to stop the high-rolling Husker offense without one of its top defensive stars, monster Matt Blair, who suffered a neck injury while being in on 28 tackles last week in the loss to Oklahoma. Blair this season had been credited with 31 unassisted tackles, 43 assists, six fumble recoveries and two pass interceptions. Anderson An Iron Man The longest string Nebraska has going, even longer than its 27-game unbeaten streak, is a personal string belonging to defensive halfback and co-captain Jim Anderson.

Anderson will be starting his 32nd straight game for the Huskers Saturday afternoon, dating back to the first game of the 1969 season when he was a sophomore against Southern Cal.

Entry deadline is Nov. 18 at 5 p.m. two touchdowns, one of which came on a 14-yard pass from Bendinger. The efforts of Bendinger, a senior from Ralston, and Filipi, a sophomore from Milligan, spoiled Wesleyan's bid for its third best season in 75 years. The Plainsmen finished the season with a 7-2 record and a 3-2 conference mark.

The win boosted Hastings' record to 5-3 overall and to 3-2 and a tie for second with Wesleyan in the NIAC.

N. Magee Stadium Friday night. Bendinger, Nebraska's leading state college passer hit 13 of 21 passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns.

He also ran six yards for another touchdown. Filipi, the state's leading ground gainer, rushed for 86 yards on 27 carries and scored Links By STEVE GILLISPLE Star Sports Writer Lincoln High used a strong second half to down determined Grand Island, 32-14, Friday night at Seacrest Field. The Links were nursing an 18-14 lead at halftime but shut out the Islanders while scoring two touchdowns in the last half.

touchdown. Watson snagged a 19-yard Bendinger pass to advance the ball to the 14 and Filipi scored the next play on a short, delay pass. Wesleyan came back to drive 80 yards in 11 plays, climaxed by Bob Gill's 28-yard scoring reception. The march, which also featured a 29-yard Stephenson to Jeff Munnis pass, gave Wesleyan a 14-12 lead with only 1:06 remaining in the first half. But the quick-dealing Bendinger had Hastings on the board with its third touchdown of the quarter before time ex- 32-14 kicked the PAT.

The Links' Tom James in tercepted an Islander pass and returned 28 yards to Grand Island's two setting up the next Lincoln High score. Fultz added his second touchdown with 36 seconds left to halftime from one yard out and again Weixelman's PAT try failed. But the Islanders weren't finished as they took the ball on the ensuing kickoff on their 40 after the ball was kicked out of bounds. On the first play quarterbaick Rocke Senkbeil dumped the ball to halfback Bill Daffer on a delay over the middle. Several Lincoln High defenders had a good tackling angle on Daffer but the speedster out ran them for the score which covered 60 yards.

Beer added the PAT and there were still 28 seconds left until halftime. Folsom threw an incomplete pass as the half ended.

Six plays later NWU sophomore quarterback Ross Stephenson hooked up with senior tight end Dan Howard on a nine -yard touchdown. When defensive tackle Sam Martin stopped Bendinger on a fourth down and one situation, preventing a second quarter touchdown, it looked as if Wesleyan might take its 7-6 lead into halftime.

But the Plainsmen punted on third down from the one and the Broncos needed only two plays for their go-ahead short with 2:52 remaining in the first period. On the ensuing kickoff, Lincoln High recovered an unintentional onside kick on the Islanders' 40. Two plays later, Dowd went 37 yards on a reverse for the score. Fultz was short of the goal on an attempted PAT run with 1:59 left. Grand Island finally got moving in the second quarter taking the ball on its three and going 97 yards in 12 plays.

Joe Bergholz went the last three yards with 4:05 remaining in the first half and Jerry Beer Although Northeast outgained the hosts 287 to 195, North Platte capitalized on their scoring opportunities while three fumbles and 33 penalty yards hurt the Rockets.

Bendinger, who threw mostly to flanker George Watson, fired his first scoring strike to the Bridgeport senior immediately after a 12-yard punt put the ball on Wesleyan's 33-yard line.

The Plainsmen had gotten on the board first five minutes into the initial quarter by capitalizing on linebacker Dave Michel's interception of Benu dinger's second pass. The game had contrasting play with Lincoln High dominating the first quarter and Grand Island the second. The Links rolled 134 of their game-total of 217 yards rushing in the initial period. Lincoln High drove 83 yards for its first touchdown after Mickey Damian recovered a Grand Island fumble. The Links only used one pass on the drive which took 14 plays.

Converted fullback Mike Fultz scored his first of two touchdowns from one yard out for the tally. Weixelman's PAT try was cushion to 144 with 5:06 left in the first quarter as senior end Rick Pittman returned a punt from Northeast's Gaylen Ken-nell for 70 yards. Thompson's conversion gave the Bulldogs all they needed against a Rocket offense that four times drove within the hosts' 30-yard-line. Senior fullback Gale Luenenborg tallied the final touchdown on a one-yard run with two seconds remaining in the first quarter after the Bulldogs recovered a Northeast fumble on their own 20-yard-line.
