Also missing is big Mike Zimmerman, 6-1, who started early in the season, but Peterson says the Plainsmen will still have most of last year's height and, in addition, may be quicker than a year ago, enabling him to again rely heavily on the fast break which has become somewhat of a trademark of his 21 coaching years at Wesleyan. "We'll try to utilize the fast break," Peterson says, adding that Earl Nannen, a reserve last season, and Riedell Lintz, one of the incoming sophomores, have good speed. "Lintz and Earl are both quick," Petersen says.

"We'll have a little more speed. Besides Lintz, a Pius graduate, Peterson has says. "I think we've got I real good chance of improving on it. "I've got my top three scorers back in Bob Beecham, Rick Boals and John Brown," he says. "We've got a good nucleus back.

And then off the freshman bunch we've got five or six good players." Brown led the Plainsmen in scoring last season with a 22.8 average, while Boals was at 15.8. Beecham and Brown were also 1-2 in rebounding with the 6-10 Beecham hauling down 273 and Brown 222. The other two starters off last year's team, Ernie Strasil and Tom Brown, were among only four NWU players who graduated. "We'll miss Ernie's rebounding," Peterson says of the former Falls City all- 1 MEET TO The NWU Roster Tonight Cli No Awards Yet Some sports writers Insist on awarding championships before they've won but as every coach knows you don't start clearing room in the trophy case until you have the award In hand. The same Kansas City writer, who earlier this season tabbed Colorado as the team to beat in the Big Eight alter the Buffs upset Penh State, is now ready to award the league title to Nebraska.

He "already has missed on the Colorado theory and awarding Nebraska the Big Eight title with four games to play seems a bit premature also. This Is particularly true with teams such as Colorado, Kansas State and Oklahoma waiting down the schedule path. i The Buffs are no longer in the race, but they are still dangerous. Kansas State and Oklahoma are still very much in the race and should Nebraska stub its toe this weekend, those two could really be in the chase. Even if Nebraska should win Its next two games -at Colorado and at Iowa State Kansas State and Oklahoma by winning their remaining games could move Into a tie with the Huskers simply by winning their meetings with 'Nebraska.

The race is far from over. Last week was a 34-18 week In the pick 'em department for a .654 percentage to make the season mark stand at 246-115-4 for .679. This week: The Big Bight NEBRASKA 24, Colorado 13 The Huskers are trying for the Big Eight championship; Colorado for a winning season.

"I hope we Peterson Action ROCKETS By VIRGIL PARKER Prep Sports Writer High school football fans in Lincoln are in for the treat when Southeast and Pius try to trick each other 'In a Halloween night- football game at Seacrest Field Saturday. Lincoln High kicks off the weekend gridiron action at Seacrest Field Friday night when the Links entertain Omaha Westslde. Northeast travels to Bellevue for a Friday night clash with the No. 2 rated and high-scoring Chieftains, while East takes the weekend off.

The Pius charges of coach Vince Aldrich will be trying to make Southeast their third straight crosstown victim after wins over Northeast and Lincoln High, while the Knights will be trying to bounce back from their first defeat of the year, a narrow 15-14 loss to East. "I kinda wish Southeast hadn't lost," Aldrich says. "They'd be tough enough under normal circumstances. Now I'm sure they'll be especially tough in order to make up for that loss." Aldrich feels his Thunderbolts will have to stop Southeast's oiltside speed in nrder to win. "We'll a to keen our defense ready for containment." After two easy victories last week against Class toes, Aldrich says that "I feel real pood about our euvs.

They've hfn imorovine each week. I feel thev're ready for a real eood game." Southeast coach Frank Solich has a lot of respect for the 'Bolts. "They always have a solid line," he says, "and this year they have some really speedy, elusive backs to go with that line." Solich added that "Pius alwavs seems to be even tougher than normal against the other Lincoln schools. We expect- it'll be a darn good flame." The two Friday night games give the first, insight to the comnarative strength of the Omaha-area and Lincoln teams. Omaha Westside, Lincoln High's Seacrest Field foe, is fresh from a victory over HELP- For Duck, about ready to move south ahead of the coming winter.

This means tie largest group of ducks and geese still haven'i arrived in southeastern Nebraska so the hunters will have to be patient while they watt. A few loners and small flights have made it this far so far but the big flights are still taking their time. Hunting should Improve on the smaller lakes south of Hickman after Nov. 1. when Wagon Train Lake will open to the public.

Ud to now. the ducks have found refuge on the lake closed to hunting but the predicted heavy hunting pressure that will hit Wagon Train after the first of the month should send the game moving for "safer" watera Pass shooting on the smaller lakes should reap a harvest for any hunters willing to pass up the initial opening of Wagon Train. Xovfor At Night Xavier University of Cincinnati will play five of its 10 foot ball games at night this fall. several other newcomers he expects to see plenty of action, Including Craig Buntemeyer and Mike Renken. And along with Hiatt, Bruce Oberhelman saw plenty of action last season as did John McLaughlin.

They're returning too. The Plainsmen won't be making a trip to the west coast this season as they have in recent years, but three new opponents have been added to the schedule. "We play George Williams out of Chicago and Aurora College is new," Peterson says. "We're playing Pershing this year too. If you can beat those teams you feel fortunate.

You have to play pretty well." hi. a-io t. 4.0 e-J 5-11 4.2 4-2 5-1 0 a-l 3 5-1 1 e-4 Wt. mi 11s us 170 1M 190 in 140 180 200 17S 110 170 CIlH So. Jr.

So. 6-2 Buffaloes seem to suffer from the lack of a consistently effective quarterback. Jim Bratten, a senior, has been the starter most of the year, but coach Eddie Crowder went with junior Paul Arendt a a i the Tigers figuring Arendt has a stronger' pitching arm. But he admitted Arendt had little luck in moving the club against a Missouri outfit that rang up 17 points in the opening quarter. Arendt wound up with 10 completions for 177 yards in 25 tries and Bratten three for 87 yards in eight throws.

Neither had an interception in contrast to the loss to Oklahoma a week earlier when the Sooners stole four Colorado aerials. Sophomore Jon Keyworth proved to be Colorado's most effective ball carrier against Missouri with a 4.1-yard average for 10 carries. Ward Walsh seems to be an assured starter at fullback against the Cornhuskers Saturday. Cliff Branch, a junior college transfer, who has made three long runs with kicks for touchdowns this season, set a Colorado record Saturday of 158 yards in catching seven passes. Branch, wide receiver Steve Dal Porto and end Bob Masten probably will be Colorado's most dependable receivers the rest of the way.

Undoubtedly tho player the Buffaloes miss the most from the 1969 team that won the Liberty Bowl against Alabama is Bob Anderson, the durable tailback who is now earning a paycheck from the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. Anderson was their No. 1 draft pick. Herb Orvis, Colorado defensive end, came in for high praise from Missouri coach Dan Devine. "We haven't blocked him on a pass play yet," Devine said.

Crowder said the Tigers' eight-man line "stopped our rushing DesDite the loss, Colorado good physical big test with should be in trim for the Nebraska.

"They had some problems early in the season," Links' coach Andy Loehr observes. "but quarterback Steve Burke and their fullback, a kid named Clark, are solid football players." Loehr, pleased with his team's performance last week while zooming to a 39-12 triumph over North Platte, said that it was the elimination of mistakes that led to the Vic tory. "We were only offside once and fumbled once," Loehr said. "By not making a bunch of mistakes we were awe to keep a a.

Now they are 3-3- tor the season and 1-3 in the Big Eight Conference after Saturday's 30-16 loss to Missouri.

1 As much as anything, the angel I guess that's where Gabriel came from." Last year Orvis, along with departed i all-America Bill Brundige, who was the first-round draft choice by the late Vince Lombardi for the Redskins, terrorized enemy backs. Orvis dropped ball carriers or passers 19 times for losses. He has cat-like quickness as shown by his 4.7 speed In the 40-yard dash and his strength is awesome. His smashing tackle of Alabama quarterback Neb Hayden In the end zone for a fourth-quarter safety opened the gates, for CUV 47-33 win over the Tide in the Liberty Bowl last December. Many feel if it had not been for the great play by Brundige, Orvis would have been an ail-American as a soph.

Three years ago, Colorado All-America defensive end candidate Herb Orvis was walking by the Berlin Wall in the damp, gray dawa.

It suddenly struck U.S. Army employee Orvis that the service was not going to be his career after all. Colorado head coach Eddie Crowder, who had met the strapping young man just a few days earlier while on a government-s ponsored coaching clinic for servicemen in Europe, is certainly pleased that Orvis made that decision. A year later, Orvis, who was a standout player for the European champion Berlin Bears, enrolled at Colorado. Last fall he was named the Big Eight Sophomore of the Year, and has made several pre-season all-America teams as a Junior.

The road to success for this 23ryear old defensive star has not been easy. He got bis early education in the traditional school of hard knocks reserved by fate for some kids. Orvis describes it best: "I guess I ran with the black-leather jacket gang. We were always in trouble and just hanging around," recalls Orvis of his high school days in Flint, Mich. He was an orphan to boot, his parents Texas and at Ohio State have told him that they have the best football team in the country.

"But While I'm in Nebraska," Nixon said, "Nebraska is Number One." Tiemann told him that "Nebraska wants, to go to whichever bowl has the Number One rated team," the President said. If chooses Miami, he'll come and watcn, Nixon in dicated. "Nobby said you should have won dv two touendowns over Southern California, Nixon said. To CU having drowned in a tragic boating accident when he was three. From that point on his grandmother was his only guiding light and it was tough: Orvis dropped out of school after his junior year, worked briefly in an automobile plant, and then was drafted into the Army.

His thoughts on the lervice are interesting: "I learned a lot of things in the service, and it was good for me. I wouldn't recommend it as a cure-all for most guys, but I grew up a little. Service football got me some bad habits that I still am trying to shake, like a bad-temper. But I think now that I can channel that energy into more productive areas." He's holding down a average in CU'S School of Business and also holds family responsibility with his wife, Lacene, and three-month-old baby son, Gabriel.
