The Lincoln Star from Lincoln, Nebraska • 15

futsdoy, September 15, 1970 The Lincoln Star IS' SPORT SI6MS 'WO Offense Good, Defense Devaney 'J By Hal Brown Sports Editor, Tie Star opened with the best performance of any offensive line since we've been here. "And when Tagge ran, it wasn't because his pass protection from the line broke down. He said that with his sore leg, he figured it wouldn't hurt as much to get hit if he was running as if he were standing still." The Husker coach credited tight end Jerry List with "some good downfield blocking," and said senior tackle Bob Newton had a good game. "Doug Dumler at center showed both promise and progress at a position that's new to him," Devaney added. On the minus side offensively, Devaney figured some work needed to be done on the running game, but added, "It takes the running game a little longer to come around as was proven last season with us." Defensively, Devaney pointed to tackle Dave Walline was "doing some fine things although he's still slowed a bit by the operation he bad last spring.

"And Ed Periard came up with some big plays at middle guard. Our end situation is still in the question-mark category had their play was only average although Willie Harper (sophomore) showed fine potential." He called the play of linebacker Jerry Murtaugh "not up to Murtaugh stan. dards. He made some plays, but not as many as he normally does. "In the defensive secondary, we had a chance to look at a lot of young men and youngsters such as Joe Blahak, John Decker and Dave Morock came up with some good plays.

And Jim Anderson, our only veteran back there, played a steady game. "We've still got some improvement to make defensively, but we saw some good hitting out there by our defense." Looking at the Wake Forest game in general, Devaney allowed, "After a poor start, we went ahead and played practicing and I think it helps squad morale to let them play when you can." Half-jokingly, Devaney said there were a couple of things that would have to be worked on. "Before the game, I met with our captains and told them if we won the toss, we wanted to take the wind," he explained. "Maybe I should have stopped there, but I added that if Wake Forest won the toss and took the wind we would receive. "When I came on to the field I noticed the referee signalling that we would receive and I figured we had lost the loss of the coin.

I asked Jerry Murtaugh about it and he said, 'No, we The other thing Devaney said needed work was reacting to quick kicks of which the Huskers were a victim Saturday. "We forgot about quick kicks because when we came here we heard all those complaints about kicking on third down so we never think about those quick kicks," be joked. good ball for about 20 minutes when we scored 29 points and our defense played well. "But I was disappointed with our second half performance because we let Wake Forest control the ball against us. We ran only 29 plays In the second half and that's not nearly enough unless some of those plays are big ones." He said he was pleased that the Husker staff was able to play a large number of players and explained he did it for two reasons.

"First of all, we wanted to take a look at some of our second unit players under game conditions to see if maybe they should be playing on the first unit," he offered. "And secondly, we couldn't see taking a chance on getting any of our top players hurt when the game was apparently won. "I think some teams leave their top players in a game like that to build confidence and to help their ratings, but I think other players deserve a chance to play as a reward for By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor With an opening game victory under their belts, the Nebraska football team was described Monday by head coach Bob Devaney as one with "a pretty good offense that needs some polish and a defense with potential." "Defensively, we're still not sure who our best players are," Devaney told the first meeting of the Extra Point Club Luncheon. Taking a closer look at the offensive and defensive picture, Devaney pointed out, "Quarterback Jerry Tagge had a good day passing and he ran well with the ball. "Our I-backs, Joe Orduna and Jeff Kinney, had good days with Orduna making one real good run for a touchdown, a run that showed he has recovered fully from the knee operations.

"And Johnny Rodgers made some spectacular plays." But offensively, he was perhaps most pleased with the offensive line, noting, "They wits in ebb HRST Paying For Own Cokes, Now Pepper Rodgers was visiting with several members of his Kansas football staff in the1 lobby of the Allen Field House Annex the other day when David Jaynes, the prize freshman quarterback from Bonner Springs, sauntered by and walked over to the Coke machine. i I As the passing whiz was reaching Into his pocket for a coin Pepper let out a guffaw and remarked: "Things sure have changed haven't they, David? A year ago there would have been seven coaches breaking their necks to get over there and buy you a Coke." Larry Kaminski, center for the Denver Broncos, has expressed a desire to be a radio announcer. Bob Martin of KOA told Larry that if he did so, he might consider changing his name. "Okay," said Larry, "how's 'Sam Kaminski' sound?" Wanted To Be Different Missouri's Joe Moore is wearing his hair cut short these days in contrast to the longer hair that seems to be the vogue. He explains, "I wanted to be different." Kansas State coach Vince Gibson figures K-State's handling of punts will be better this season for two reasons Henry Hawthorne won't be coming off the bench cold to do it and Mike Montgomery, a fierce competitor, also will be back there.

"If Montgomery drops one, I'd hate to be the guy who recovers it," Gibson says. "I know if he drops one, I'm not going to say anything to him." Punt Snapping Not Easy What's it like being the center on punt snapping assignments? Denver Broncos' center Larry Kaminski says it's like this: "You look back there 15 yards and you see the punter standing back there. And you know about 60,000 people up there in the stands are watching and waiting. And you feel this guy breathing heavily right over you "And there you are. You have to deliver the ball on exactly the right arc.

There's a technique to guiding it, releasing it, sailing it precisely 15 yards so it hits the punter chest high. Not everybody can play quarterback and throw a pass, right? This is a 15-yard pass. And you have to do it with your head upside down between your legs and that guy waiting there to hit you the instant your hands start to move." Practicing Big Factor Missouri coach Dan Devine doesn't figure playing a game on artificial turf as his Tigers must do at Nebraska and Kansas State this fall will be a factor in the outcome of the ball games, but he does see an area where it could be a factor the week of practice going into the game. "Suppose that the week we play Nebraska, it rains hard all week in both Columbia and Lincoln," he says. "With their artificial turf, Nebraska will be able to go ahead and work against our formations with no problems, but we won't be able to do the same against theirs because our practice fields will be muddy.

Taking a look at Southern Cal, this week'i foe, Devaney said, "We're looking forward to it and the players are look ing forward to it. "We're going out there thinking we can win it. If you don't go into every game that way, you might as well stay home and save the expense." He called Southern Cal's running game which gained 485 yards against Alabama last Saturday the big thing the Huskers must stop, but added, "Last year, we stopped their running game pretty well and they hurt us with big passing bombs. "Unlike last year, we have very small defensive linemen this year and I'm afraid they may try to run at us like they did against Alabama. "We'll have to wait and see if our defensive line can do the job." Linebacking coach John Melton, giving the scouting report on the Trojans, quipped, "Last year, with a great defensive effort, we held them to 31 points.

"This year, they started with 42 points and they've got their entire backfield back from a year ago plus another fullback named Sam Cunningham, who averaged better than 10 yards per carry against Alabama. "And defensively, they lost a few people, but they've still got four they're pushing for ail-American and that's quite a few. "They are a real explosive team and can score from anywhere. We're just going to have to get in there and get after them. "I read in the papers where our boys are looking forward to the game and don't think- they're going to be overawed by them." Brownson Resting Devaney said a decision on ailing quarterback Van Brownson may not be made until Thursday.

"We're going to give him complete rest this week," Devaney reported. "Last week we tried having him work the soreness out by throwing and that didn't work. "We hope to have him running with a unit Wednesday or Thursday, but if he's not ready by Thursday we probably won't take him." Another doubtfuj player Is tight end Bob Wolfe, who suffered an ankle injury Saturday, but Devaney said Tom Robison, who injured a knee in the win over Wake Forest, probably would be ready. CU Trip Planned The NU Extra Point Club in conjunction with Van Bloom Travel Agency is planning a trip to the Colorado game and EPC official Lou Roper said the flight was about half filled already.

Campb eil. Who's Trie Quarterback A year ago when Big Eight Skywriters came from Oklahoma where they were sure they knew that Jack Mildren was going to be the quarterback but where coach Chuck Fairbanks refused to admit it to Colorado where they were sure Bob Anderson was to be the quarterback, Buffs coach Eddie Crowder pulled their legs by telling them "I honestly don't know who our quarterback is going to be." This year when the Skywriters visited Boulder, Crowder told them, "I told you last year I didn't know who our quarterback was going to be and you laughed at me. "I told you the truth last year and you laughed at me, so this year I'm not going to tell you the truth," he quipped. He was referring to his shift of Anderson from quarterback to tailback early in the season, leaving the quarterback job to cither Jim Bratten or Paul Arendt. Volunteers Compete In Conversion Caspar scored the tie-breaking run when Bailey let the return throw from catcher John Bateman get past him.

Wayne Garrett's run-scoring double, a walk, a sacrifice fly by Ron Swoboda and an RBI single by Donn Clendenoo completed the rally. Met reliever Danny Frisella, who retired the last 15 batters he faced before leaving for a pinch-hitter in the 10th, earned his seventh victory against three setbacks. The Mets struck for five runs in the fifth, erasing a 4-0 Montreal lead, but the Expos tied it in the bottom half against Frisella on a walk, a bloop double by pinch hitter Mack Jones and Bobby Wine's sacrifice fly. Clyde Mashore, recently recalled from the minors, clubbed a two-run homer off Met starter Ray Sadccki in the second for his first major league hit, then singled in the fourth to trigger a two-run flurry. But New York filled the bases with none out in the fifth on a walk and singles by Agee and Wayne Garret before Expos starter Bill Stoneman walked Cleon Jones to force in one run.

Art Shamsky's sacrifice fly delivered another. Cleon Jones extended his hitting streak to 22 games with a third-inning single. In other action in the American League Oakland at Milwaukee and California at Minnesota was rained out. San Diego at Los Angeles and Atlanta was at San Francisco In late West coast National contests.

"I really should have started right away while I was in good condition, notes the popular free swinger. "But I just had to make sure the decision was right to leave the amateur program. It was real good to me. I lost only three fights and really wanted that national title. "However, the next tourney was a full year away and a lot of people thought I would be better off as a pro." Included in this group was brother Art, but he never offered any advice before the decision was made final by Dale.

And they both have excellent credentials. Dale Hernandez of Omaha and Dick Pelster of Norfolk are both currently unbeaten in short professional careers.

Brilliant amateur careers by both Pelster and young Hernandez indicate they may soon be ready for a major test. Hernandez Is a brother of Art, the world's seventh ranked middleweight. And Dale is just itching to climb into that exclusive list himself. He has quickly disposed of all his pro opponents to date via the knockout route.

Dale got a late start in boxing due to a fine high school wrestling career which saw him in state competition three years.
