The Lincoln Star from Lincoln, Nebraska • 27

Thursday, October 22, 1970 The Lincoln Star 27 WU, OU Living Up To Expectations SHOWINGS MADE BY RODGERS, WYLIE COMING AS NO SURPRISE IN BIG EIGHT By Randy Eickhoff Star Sporti Writer ranks second in league point-production with 42. He has broken one punt all the way and scored five on passes. Wylie, who has gained a starting spot as a running back in the Sooners' new Wishbone offense, has a tremendously peculiar style of running. One describes him, for those inside the generation gap, "Joe looks like Jerry Lewis when he runs his legs fly in all different directions." Another, for contemporaries, says Wylie looks Kansas City, Mo. A pair of mighty quick hitters have been quick hits as super sophomore sensations in the Big Eight Conference this fall.

The actions, however, of Nebraska's Johnny Rodgers and Oklahoma's Joe Wylie have not been unexpected. Plainly and simply, coaches of both thought they just had to get the ball to both. To see either isolated in a one-on-one situation, it was predicted, would be Instant showtime. It has been. week for Oklahoma State Mike Montgomery, the fullback at Kansas State, took over the pass receiving lead from the Cowboys' Hermann Montgomery got another 10 against Iowa State Putting his seasonal output at 29.

Eben, in one less game, has 27, good for 482 yards, compared with 176 for Montgomery. Able to hold off Rodgers in the scoring race for another week was Kansas' John Riggins, who matched touchdowns with the like a girl trying to run in a tight skirt. So do his yards. He's gained 411 length in 53 tries he's played one less game than Rodgers a 7.8 per-try mark. Wylie has carried 49 times for 351 yards (fifth in Big Eight), caught one pass for 38 yards, and returned three kickoffs for 22 yards.

Three times he has scored. As added duty, he's also taken on the punting chores, averaging 39.5. Taking advantage of an off Rodgers, with the quick feet, great football speed, and exceptional balance, leads the Big Eight in all-purpose' yardage, holding 843 lengths. He's had his hands on the ball 60 times, a rather impressive 14.1 per-play average. Broken down, he had caught 18 passes' for 327 yards, rushed 20 times for 158, returned 13 punts for 191, and carried back 10 kickoffs for 187 more.

What's more, Rodgers has scored at least once in every game and Nebraska sophomores. Riggins has now scored 48 on the year. Early in the Iowa State game, Riggins will move into the top 10 of all-time Bfg Eight career rushers. He has now accounted for 2,147, one more yard than the previous 11th ranked runner, Oklahoma's George Thomas. Seven more lengths will put Riggins by the Sooners' Billy Vessels.

Though he didn't take over the league's passing lead, Kansas State's Lynn Dickey, making quite a comeback after an early injury, has not passed for 876 yards. In the all-time yardage standings, he now has a career passing accumulation of 4,921, a record he breaks wfth every completion, and a total-offense figure of 4,558, third on the all-time Big Eight list, ranking Miserable Is Right There's an old saying that you end up being miserable you re a successful duck hunter, but the sad thing about it is you don't necessarily have to be successful in order to be miserable. Can yon Imagine crawling 400 yards through thick weeds trying to sneak up on some ducks only to have them fly off short moments before you're ready to shoot? Or how about donning your waders to walk two miles to cross a branch of a lake and find out your waders have sprung a leak in the meantime and water gushes in to fill each leg? It's a two mile walk back to the car in soaking wet clothes with, of course, the wet interior of the waders rubbing you raw each step. You most certainly weren't successful and you certainly were miserable so maybe that statement should be rewritten for the unsuccessful hunter rather than the other who has something to show for his efforts. In fact, the unsuccessful hunters far outnumber the sue-NH ed get But the mark of the dedicated gunner is the one who keeps coming back for more despite his lack of luck.

Others simply fold after coming home birdless and refuse to go out again the rest of the year. But come next year, they'll be in the front ranks looking for someone to hunt with. firing On The Rain Every hunter will probably take advantage of the first rainy day that comes along for that will limit the flying of the ducks. zmmimm -Jl -A I mack and Colorado's Bob Ander son.

But too much of a thing isn't good either.

The weather may be too miserable to identify the targets. The thing to do is to make use of the days we have now rather than sit around and wait for the perfect day that may never come. Traploads Work Fine Repeatedly, this writer has plugged the use of using traploads while hunting pheasant and quail as the best all around shot, but who would have thought about using them for ducks? Yet I have seen ducks dropped with traploads after No. I mags left them wheeling away. And twice this season, I have dropped two with one shot a feat I've never performed before.

Looks like the only thing they're not good for is geese that takes a pretty hefty load. There is a perfectly logical reason for making the switch from the standard larger loads. The shooter gets a larger pattern with the smaller shot. And that means fewer misses and more birds. Deer Season Close According to recent reports from the game commission, this year's deer harvest may be one of the best yet.

In the Winchester Hunting Report, the game commission has rated Nebraska hunting probabilities excellent with a better than even chance for the hunter filling his license.
