AU-Americans Mike Rice of Omaha complains, "Coach Bob Devaney is doing disservice to both his quarterbacks, Jerry Tagge and Van Brownson, by not playing either enough to be recognized as all-American. We read about the Mannings, Plunketts, Theismans, etc." Yon might check the Nebraska record, Mike, and you'll find that the Huskers are unbeaten this season while teams with Heisman Trophy candidates at quarterback Mississippi with Archie Manning, Stanford with Jim Plunkett and Kansas State with Lynn Dickey can't make that boast.

1 4 I i I 1 I Atlanta OR Gashed and bruised Jerry Quarry snarled Tuesday that Muhammad All "can't hit a lick" and boldly predicted that heavyweight champ Joe Frazier "will knock him out in six rounds." Quarry was the portrait of a loser. His left temple was held together by 11 surgical The coloring around his left eye was a mild violet. "If you came to hear me say Ali's a great fighter, you wasted a trip," he said. "Ali's not as fast as he brags either with his fists or his feet." While claiming Ali can't punch, Quarry said an instant later that "this is the deepest, nastiest gash I've ever seen in boxing." Californian talked with newsmen at his suburban Atlanta motel. He cat in an expensive see-through blouse, his sores from the previous night bathed away except for the left side of his head.

"It was circumstances that beat me, not a better fighter," said Quarry. "Ali knew if he hadn't cut me that there was no way he could stop me and I knew I would have killed him if it had lasted just a little longer." Quarry was knocked out by Frazier in the seventh round of a heavyweight title bout in 1968. He says the current king "will murder Ali. Frazier is the toughest, gamest fighter I've ever seen." Quarry hesitated, realizing he sounded like a Frazier publicity man. "That's just the facts," he added, "because Frazier isn't any favorite of mine either." Quarry who'll earn in the $500,000 neighborhood for the Cassius Clay as the fighters received prefight instructions at Atlanta Municipal Auditorium.

"Ali told me, 'you're in trouble boy," recalled a r-ry. "I told him, "The danger's He started to say something else and I said, 'just shut up and He did. Quarry stormed wildly around the 20-foot ring after the bout was stopped. He wanted to continue despite the gaping eye wound, but admitted Tuesday that stopping it was the right move. "I went out there looking for something great and I was tight," said the No.

"By Feb. 1, Clay should be in perfect shape." Ali, in a hotel interview, Without Tagge to go to when Brownson hasn't been moving team or vice versa, the Huskers might not currently have a 14-game unbeaten streak going. Devaney 7-7 in TV Games In answer to readers queries about Nebraska's record in televised games with another coming up Saturday at Colorado, coach Bob Devaney teams at NU have broken even in appearances before the cameras. The Huskers have won seven and lost seven with wins coming over Miami 36-34 in the 1962 Gotham Bowl, Auburn 13-7 in the 1964 Orange Bowl, Minnesota 26-21 in 1964, Oklahoma 21-9 in 1965, Missouri 35-0 in 1966, Texas A 14-0 in 1969 and Georgia 45-6 in the 1969 Sun Bowl. i The losses have been to Missouri 7-16 in 1962, Arkansf 7-10 in the 1964 Cotton Bowl, Alabama 28-39 in the 1966 Orange Bowl, Oklahoma 9-10 in 1966, Alabama 7-34 in the 1967 Sugar Bowl, Oklahoma 14-21 in 1967, and Oklahoma 0-47 in 1968.

Girl Watchers' Guide Andy Sidaris, ABC-TV's director for the Game of The Week telecasts, is considered somewhat of an expert in the art of girl watching at football games since he's the one who selects those sideline shots that sometimes divert your thoughts from first downs and touchdowns. He claims the Southwest Conference is making the most rapid strides in improving the quality for girl watchers, pointing out, "They're giving body building courses there now. But they're coming on so fast that I think they're red-shirting some of the girls." He picks Miami as the queen city of college football, noting, "They're real bouncers and leapers there. They smile while losing, are beautifully coiffeured and chesty." Sidaris provides this sectional rundown on girl watching prospects: The Enst They're saddest of all, enough to encourage boy cheer leaders, who can at least do free and easy cartwheels. Eastern girls are too preoccupied with hiding their bodies when they do them.

The Midwest Worst next to the East. They're the Olivia DeHaviland kind, just a warm smile, win or lose. They can't wait until they're middle age so they act that way. Really bad, considering the sport is so big out there. The West Coast A long tradition of class.

No one will ever be able to measure how much these girls have done to inspire their teams. They treat their heroes right. The Southeast They have a chance to improve, but again, it's that background hangup thing. Sidaris cites a phenomenon at the University of Colorado, which he calls a "pocket of beauty in an otherwise generally plain-faced Big Eight Conference." Of Colorado he says, "I guess they just don't let homely girls come to the football games. It's frightening to a middle-aged guy.

There are so many beauties there." Buckeyes, Pinups Don'i Mix Perhaps you noticed and perhaps you didn't (we didn't) notice that when Playboy Magazine ran photos of its pre-season all-American football choices, there wasn't an Ohio State player among them. It wasn't because Playboy Magazine didn't think the Buckeyes had any all-Americans. It was because Ohio State coach Woody Hayes refused to allow pictures of his players to appear in a magazine that carries photos of scantily-clad or unclad girls. Omaha middleweight Art Hernandez, who will join former heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson, Jose Torres and Lew Eskin, managing editor of Boxing Illustrated on a tour of Vietnam beginning Nov. 15, is currently ranked No.

In the ensuing 43 months, during which appeals were argued in higher courts, he virtually quit training. He did lecture tours around college campuses, performed on Broadway and attended to side businesses.

Friends say he lost his fortune. However, he is expected to get close to $1 million from the Quarry fight, with his victim pocketing perhaps $500,000. Promoters were busy Tuesday trying to figure the gross receipts from the live gate, which had a $100 tops for seats, and ancillary rights. The nation's attitude on the Vietnamese war has changed since Ali was branded a draft dodger 3ft years ago. The ex-champion appears to have regained much of his old popularity, with television, radio and movie personalities flocking to his bandwagon.

Attesting fo the renewed interest in the ex-champion, the closed circuit showing of Monday night's in Madison Square Garden drew $206,000. Fourteen thousand turned out at Los Angeles' Forum. The fight was beamed via satellite to Europe, South America and the Far East. "If we can draw $200,000 for a closed circuit fight, we should be able to draw $2 million for a live fight at the Garden with Frazier," said Teddy Brenner, president the Madison Square Garden Boxing. Both Brenner and Markson doubt that Ali will want to risk lL' nine-minute effort against Ali claimed his life has been one unlucky incident after another.

"In 1958, I had a kidney disease that was supposed to have made me a semi-invalid for life," he said. "I beat that. At the age of 16 I broke my back diving into a pool. Once I broke everybone in my hand and arm in an accident. "If I ever break my neck, I want somebody to hand me a gun.

I'll end it right there. Quarry is only 25. His ring record is 37-54 with 23 knockouts. Still, his future appeared clouded. heal quickly," he said.

"But I'll go home, have myself a turkey dinner and think about it." Quarry retraced the Monday night happenings again and again. He even revealed the rhetoric with the former agreed, in part. "I can be ready In six weeks," he said. "I think Joe Frazier would like to fight me and be recognized as champion of the whole world. The man who beats Muhammad Ali is champion of the whole world."

"Then he did this," said the loser, making a butting move. "God, that's a lucky man."

"He'd better buckle down his head," said Quarry. "And he going to have to pray to his god, Allah, for all the help he can get." (-State's Dickey Top Big 8 Back Kansas City UP) Kansas State quarterback Lynn Dickey urned in the greatest day of his illustrious career last Saturday the Wildcats' 19-14 triumph over Oklahoma. He completed 27 of 46 passes for 384 yards and two touchdowns.

The two touchdowns gave him another Big Eight Conference record of 26 scoring passes. The old career record of 25 was i set by the late Paul Christman of Missouri. When it appeared that Oklahoma was getting ready to celebrate a victory, Dickey picked the Wildcats up by the bootstraps not once but twice in the final four minutes. Dickey's performance easily earned him the Big Eight Back of the Week honors. The selection by a panel of sports writers was unanimous.

Trailing 14-7, Dickey moved the Wildcats 83 yards in 11 plays for one score. That wasn't enough because Rick Mason of the Sooners blocked the extra point kick. Seconds later, Dickey got the opportunity to display his pass-ing prowess again when Oscar Gibson intercepted Jack Mildren's pass on the Sooners 30. Dickey connected with Mike Montgomery for two yards and then hit Hawthorne for the winning touchdown and the Big Eightrecord. "Dickey really showed what he can do," said Wildcat coach Vince Gibson.

"He is simply a great quarterback. I think Dickey is the class of college' quarterbacks and when he get3 100 well, he'll really be something." Generally, Saturday was a day of great performances by Big Eight backs, making Dickey's unanimous selection even more significant. In that same game, Joe Wylie made both Oklahoma touchdowns and cot everv Inr-h of the yardage en route. Wylie rushed for 133 yards on 23 runs. Dick Graham, the OklaJinmo State speedster, caught seven passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns and scored a third on a B-yard kickoff return even-though the Cowboys were routed by Nebraska 65-31.

Also nominnated besides Dickey, Wylie and Graham were John Riggins of Kansas, Johnny iwufcws oi lNerjrasKa, Keith Scnroederof Iowa Stats, James Harrison of Missouri and Cliff Branch of Colorado.

W) Muhammad Ali is back in all his flamboyant ring glory, and the wheelers and dealers of the fight game were talking glibly Tuesday of a $10 million "dream bout" matching Ali with heavyweight champion Joe Frazier.

New York's Madison Square Garden is making a strong pitch for the title match Feb. 1. Houston wants to 1 a it for the Astrodome. Promoter Chris Dundee of Miami is trying to arrange another preparation bout, for Ali against Argentina's Oscar Bonavena in December. Ali, successful in his corn-back after a 3-year layoff, is the center of it.

He again owns the boxing world. "There is no limit to what an Ali-Frazier title fight would gross," said Michael Malitz, president of Sports Action which was co-promoter of the Muhammad Ali-Jerry Quarry bout Monday night at Atlanta's Municipal Auditorium. "It could make $10 million certainly more than any fight in history. We would run out of satellites." Most of the world washed in one way or another live via satellite or on closed circuit TV Monday night when All, also known as Cassius Clay, proved champions can come back by scoring an impressive third round technical knockout over the young, tough Quarry. In the third round, Ali opened a gash over Quarry's left eye that looked as if he had been hit in the head with an axe.

Referee Tony Perez mercifully stopped the bout between the third and fourth rounds over the protests of the bloodied Irishman who sought to continue.

Quarry's father, Jack, a former fighter himself, said: "If you go out there, you'll never fight again."

"There is no way of knowing how Clay would have stood up over 15 rounds," said the Garden's matchmaker, Harry Markson. 'All we know is he had a job to do, and he went out and did it. He looked terrific." Ali was a master as he jabbed Quarry into ensensibility with his flicking left and then tore his head open with a right. The ex-champton, who weighed 238 six weeks ago, was a slick, dancing, elusive phantom at 213ft and so superior he appeared contemptuous of his opponent. For the three rounds he fought, he looked every inch the skilled warrior who had won all his previous 29 fights, 23 by knockout, without a defeat.

He was hardly touched. Alf was stripped of his title April 28, 1967, when he refused to enter military service.

He is ex pected to play against Missouri Saturday but at present he can't catch the ball. Second team defensive end Norm Dubois has a broken hand and is doubtful for the game. Ron Coppenbarger, second team defensive safety, and punt returner, 'has a sprained ankle. "To beat Missouri you have to throw the football and stop their running game," Gibson said. Royal Likes No.

Royal, a veteran at handling top-ranked teams at Texas, said usually "there's more reaction on the part of our opponents than the part of our own team" about being selected No. 1.

"It just inspires them (the op ponents) a little more." But. he added. "We're not complaining about our position. We like it."

He repeated as coach of a championship team last year and had teams temporarily ranked No. 1 in 1961, 1962. 1964 and 1965 which later dropped out of the top spot after a loss or tie. The 1970 squad features at least nine good professional prospects, including fullback Steve Worster, a 205-pound senior who has ripped off 493 yards in 84 carries for a 5.9-yard average this season and is a devastating blocker in the wishbone-T offense. Others include Bill Atessis, a 252-pound defensive end who.

"They've snapped back and they defensed the Colorado run ning attack pretty well. "I think Colorado figured on that and mat's why they started Paul Arendt at quarterback in stead of Jim Bratten. I sort of expect them to start Bratten against us." Devaney said he hoped to get his full squad onto the grass practice fields for today's workout since the next two games for the Huskers will be played on grass. "Actually, though, we get everybody on grass every day except our defensive backs," he added, "But if it doesn't rain any more, we'll put everyone down on the lower practice fields Wednesday. Devaney was referring to the daily use of the practice field south of the stadium as one practice station during workouts so that while part of the team is working on the AstroTurf, the rest are on grass.

And the pattern of the game could depend on which role the Buffs play this week.

"Colorado's problem has been that they've given the ball away too often in some games and you can't do that and beat a good team," Husker head coach Bob Devaney pointed out "It's a little hard to analyze their season," he n-tinued. "They played a good Kansas State team and could have won it and they should at 'least have gotten a tie." The Buffs lost to the Wildcats, 21-20, when Dave Haney missed an extra point conversion kick. "And they out gained Oklahoma, but lost that one," Devaney added. "But against Iowa State and Penn State, they didn't give the ball away and they won those games easily.
