The Lincoln Star from Lincoln, Nebraska • 11

Soturdoy, October 17, 1970 The Lincoln Star II Lir By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Lawrence, Kan. When Big Eight Skywriters visited here at the start of their annual fall tour, there was a sign behind the head table at the dinner session with KU coach Pepper Rodgers that read, "Kansas Will Be Back." Hardly anyone took the sign seriously, but then neither did anyone believe that Nebraska and Kansas would be meeting here on Oct. 17 for the Big Eight lead. But they are, both with 1-0 league marks and Nebraska 4-0-1 for the season while Kansas is close behind at 4-1. The Jayhawks have already proven they're at least part way back.

They'd like to take another step here at 1:30 this afternoon before an anticipated 48,000 fans, 8,500 of them wearing red. In most individual categories, Kansans out-rank Nebraskans in Big Eight statistics, but in team statistics, the more balanced Huskers are on top. However, it's these individual stars that have the Husker coaching staff concerned. "Kansas has some fine people," NU coach Bob Devaney points out. "And they've got a lot of Individual speed.

They've got half a dozen people, all of whom are faster than our fastest man." Among those individual stars are John Riggins, the league's No. 2 man in rushing offense and tandem offense and No. 1 in scoring; quarterback Dan Heck, No. 2 in passing and in total offense; Ron Jessie, No. 2 in kickoff returns; and Keith Lieppman, the top punter in the conference.

But in team statistics, the edge goes to Nebraska, which ranks first in rushing defense, total defense, scoring defense and total offense. Kansas, meanwhile, is last in the league in rushing defense, passing defense, total defense and seventh In scoring defense. But Devaney figures these statistics may be a bit misleading, pointing out, "Kansas has improved tremendously on defense since their first two games." This is evidenced by their holding Kansas State to only 15 points last week in winning their league opener by 21-15. The only team categories where the Jaybawks hold an edge over the Huskers are rushing offense and scoring offense. KU is averaging 230.8 yards on the ground to NU's 218.8 and the Jayhawks hold a 29.8 to 28.2 advantage in scoring.

Rodgers agrees that the KU defense is improving. "Our defense has gained a lot of confidence," he observes. "Against Kansas State, the further the game went, the closer we got to the passer and the closer we got to the receivers." But he admits, "Nebraska will be a bigger test for our defense than anything we've faced." Making the Nebraska offense go is a big, good offensive line, a fine blocking fullback in Dan Schneiss, two good running I-backs in Joe Orduna and Jeff Kinney, a flashy flanker in Johnny Rodgers, a quarterback tandem of Jerry Tagge and Van Brownson and some excellent receivers such as Guy Ingles and Jerry List. But Rodgers points out his Jayhawks aren't overawed by the Huskers high rating in the national polls. "The polls haven't decided a ball game, yet," he notes.

While pointing out that Nebraska has a good team, Rodgers also considers KU a good team. "I think you can consider us a pretty good team," he says. "I thought we were good all along and not as bad as some people seemed to think we might be. Our problem was our defense. It was young and had to come along.

And it has." The Huskers will be trying to stretch their unbeaten string to 13 straight today, a string that started against Kansas last year in that controversial 21-17 win at Lincoln. iog Co) (o) Lead i i ivy The Lineups Offense NU YEARLINGS MEET McCOOK JO Husker Freshmen Will Face Tough Test From B.

"Bob hopes to be invited to come to Nebraska after his two years at McCook.

"He may not have as much ability as Bill, but he has every other trait of a good football player. "You name it desire, toughness, dedication and Bob has it," Keitges continued. "He'll play a lot of ball for us and I believe he will go to Nebraska after his two years at McCook." There are other obstacles for the Husker freshmen. No. Name Ht.

Saturday, Gregg-Mitchell Stadium, Marshall, Mo. Marshall, Mo. Nebraska Wesleyan University will take on its second of three Missouri opponents tonight, and if you believe in comparative scores it will be a long night for the undefeated Plainsmen. Not long ago Wesleyan had trouble in a 20-6 win over upstart Missouri Western. A week later Vikings from Missouri Valley demolished the same club, 47-17 and used reserves sparingly.

Coach Harold Chaffee and his Capital City crew are sporting a 5-0 mark today, but the trip to Marshall, has to be "THE" game to date. Missouri Valley, like Huron, S.D., last week, has designated this as Homecoming weekend. The game kickoff has been moved up to 7 p.m. to possibly allow the "victory" dance to begin on time. Wesleyan would like nothing better than to put a damper on the party.

In fact, one more NWU win and the record book will be due for a check to seek answers to the school's longest modern day winning streak.

Gibler was disappointed in several calls by the officials in the 1969 game and vowed that this year would be different. He has already kept his word.

In this week's film exchange Wesleyan must feel "clipped." The MV "movie" is of its team's only loss to the University of Missouri at Rolla. However, all three Rolla scoring drives have been cut out of the film. Therefore it has been difficult to find fault with the Viking defense. Instead Chaffee and his assistants have merely prepared this week to meet a fine football team with a 4-1 record. Wesleyan holds a 4-1 edge in the series rivalry which began in 1965.

Physically the Plainsmen will Doug Deeter's 10-yard touchdown run in the fourth period brought Lincoln Southeast from behind for an exciting 12-9 victory over Lincoln High Friday night at Seacrest Field. The triumph snapped a five-eame Links winning string in the series between the two, and it was the first time the Knights had ever won by more than two points. Southeast maintained possession of the ball for over five minutes in the late stages of the final period to sew up its fifth victory of the season without a loss. The Knights, without a first down in the opening quarter, put six points on the scoreboard in the second stanza when 5-7, 140-pound junior Mark Michel ran 57 yards to the Links' four-yard line. a three yard run, and a 17 yard pass from Aldrich to Dan McCabe set up the touchdown.

Heelan rambled for 433 yards on the ground with Dan Mollet nicking up 145 on 16 carries, in cluding 127 in the first half. Mollet and Dan Sanem each scored twice for the winners.

Just don't get rid of me." Buford has been a mainstay of the Orioles ever since being In stalled into the starting lineup when Weaver became manager In July, 1968. He batted .272 during 1970, with 17 homers and 66 runs batted in as the leadoff man. Why then his concern about being traded? Simply because the Orioles have so much young talent in their farm system. Prior to a' late-season game, when some of the recently recalled Baltimore youngsters were taking batting practice, a voice called out from the Washington Senators bench to reserve infielder Chico Salmon of the Orioles. Hastings Senior fullback Ron Anderson sc6red three touchdowns for Lincoln Northeast as the Rockets ripped past Hastings 28-6 in a Trans-Nebraska contest here Friday night.

Anderson moved coach Robert Els Rockets to a 2-3 record on touchdown runs of 13, and one yard through the right side. Hastings' record is now 0-5-1. The Rockets turned a pass Interception by senior defensive halfback Carey Danek with 9:20 left in the first quarter into a touchdown on a 39-yard drive in six plays culminated Anderson's 5-yard slant off right tacklo. Sam Martin added the first of four extra points on a kick. Anderson scored the second touchdown on a fourth-and-in-ches situation with a plunge with 4:08 left in the first half.

On that 10-play drive, Anderson gained 53 yards in a 65-yard drive. The Rockets moved ahead 21-0 on an option play by Junior quarterback Gaylen Kennel from eight yards out with 6:24 remaining in the third quarter. Martin added his third PAT. The Rockets went up 28-0 when fliey turned a fumble recovery by Jerry Barnett at the Tiger. 10-yard line into a touchdown with 1:26 left in the third quarter and Anderson scooted 13 yards for the score.

Martin added his last extra "He's going to have to have 500 times at bat. Weaver notes that the two Robinsons, Buford and reliever Dick Hall "have put on some years, but age shouldn't be a factor on our club next season." Sitting on the bench in 1970 was Infielder Bobby Grich, who was batting .383 in the Interna tional League when he was recalled. Invited to spring training next year will be outfielder Don Baylor, who hit .327 at Jochester and led the international league in runs, doubles, triples and total bases; and first baseman- outfielder Roger Freed, who hit .334 while topping the league with 130 RBI and 163 hits.

It's going to take a lot of talk and a lot of consultations to show me how we can improve." Dave McNally and Mike Cuellar won 24 games apiece during 1970 and Jim Palmer added 20 victories. It was the third straight year McNally had passed the 20-game total and the second for Cuellar. Palmer reached the milestone for the first time, and Weaver claims the 25-year-old righthander has the equipment to be the next 30-game winner in the major leagues. The infield of World Series hero Brooks Robinson at I Mark Belanger at short, Dave Johnsn at second and Booe Powell at first includes three Golden Glove fielding award winners. The only exception is Powell, who is more than ade quate and agile afield despite his size, and drove in 114 runs with 35 homers at bat Frank Robinson, 35 but still an All-Star, is in right field, with Paul Blair, another Golden Glove winner, in center.

Buford shared left Geld part of the time with Merv Rettenmund, who also filled in when Blair was injured. Rettenmund wound up as Baltimore's top batter with a .322 average. He had 18 homers and 58 RBI in 338 times at bat. "If Merv keeps producing like 'hat next sein," Weaver said, "Hey, Chico, you're going to be playing in Japan next; year. It was Salmon, a valuable member of Baltimore's bench, who said during the season to Weaver: "play me or bench me." He doesn want to do, either.
