"But he kicks the ball so high, the wind held it up just enough. "It looks like the kickoffs should be better," he said. "Especially since VanderMeer kicks the ball so high. All of the kickers reached the endzone today." "But we really couldn't find the kicking consistency we wanted, except for the fact that Vanous (junior Russ) punted well everytime," Fischer added.

Even the punting suffered somewhat, with a blocked Randy Lessman punt turned into a White touchdown and a 55-yarder by Vanous returned by Jim Butterfield for a touchdown. Regional "Vanous was probably our most consistant kicker," Fischer said. "If we would have had the first team punt coverage in, I think we could have got to Butterfield. "We know what Randy Lessman can do," Fischer said of the Huskers' returning punter. "But he's just got to concentrate and eliminate the bad kicks." Fischer is planning on a lot of fall work to straighten out the entire kicking game.

The kickers are planning on summer work. "I'm going to stay in Lincoln all summer to work on my kicking," VanderMeer said. "Vince convinced me this was a good place to play, and I like it here. I'm just glad to be part of the team. "But before I die," he added "I want to play pro ball as a kicker.

It backfired. The Whites also tried a double pass. Ed Burns passed to wingback Earl Everett, behind the line of scrimmage, who then threw a long bomb intended for split end Tim Smith. The Whites grabbed a SM) lead late in the first quarter on a tremendous 52-yard field goal by Dean Sukup, but on the last play of the initial period the Reds' Dave Butterfield returned a punt 80 yards to make it 7-3. The Whites came back with the ensuing kickoff to drive 92 yards in 13 plays to lead 9-7.

Byrnn Stewart climaxed the march by sweeping the right side for the final 10 yards. With just over a minute left in the half, the Reds Ron VanderMeer banged through a 40-yard field goal to give his team a 10 9 edge and then followed with a 37-yarder to make it 13-9 on the last play before intermission. Anthony tallied from one yard out to give the Reds a 20-9 lead early in the third stanza. But on the Reds next possession, Reg Gast poured through to block a Randy Lessman punt and monster back Jim Pillen picked up the ball on the three and scooted in to cut the gap to 20-15. Mike Washington found a big hole and blasted 9 yards to give Hie Whiles a 21-20 lead and Stewart ran it in for a two-point conversion to make it 23-20.

The Reds bounced back in just three plays. Gillespie broke away for his 60-yard TD run to give the Reds a 26-23 advantage, but after the late interception, the Whites claimed the win on Garcia's pass to Brown. The fans certainly had their appetites whetted.

Cornhusker coach Tom Osborne explains that the two agreed not to scout each others final spring game, but rather to exchange films. "We did the same a year ago," Osborne says, "but they played 12 minute quarters and let the clock run the whole time. As a result, we got about one reel of film and they got four." Nebraska was hard-pressed to top the Tigers in the opener here in Lincoln, 10-7.

This time the clash will take place in LSU's famed (or infamous) Tiger Pit in Baton Rouge. "I'm sure that before the game rolls around," Osborne adds, "we'll have the game films of all 11 games they played last year (getting them from LSU opponents) and they'll have all of ours." No Surprises? Osborne was quoted last week as saying a scout in the stands Saturday wouldn't aid LSU much anyway. "We're not likely to show anything new. We won't use any of the new stuff we've put in this spring. And we won't use all our defenses either.

We'll be evaluating our players on how they do in a one-on-one situation." Osborne added, "I'm sure LSU wouldn't have shown us anything new in their spring game anyway." The next day a note arrived in the mail from Baton Rouge State-Times sports editor Dan Hardesty, enclosing the rosters and play-by-play of the LSU spring game. To do a column similar to this, he wants the same material on the Red-White game. "Since the two schools agreed not to scout the spring game, but rather to swap films," Hardesty says, "I'll bet the first gny up there who take? a look at the SH film is gonna fall out of his chair when he sees LSU line up in the Wishbone. "I don't know what they intend doing with it, and coach McClendon won't talk about it, but that's what they used!" Purple Team Wins LSU's Purple team swamped the Golds, 32-0, before a crowd of just over. 7,000 last Saturday.

The Gold squad scored on the third play of the game but it was called back. The offense used might be a signal of what the Huskers can expect next fall. The quarterback faked the handoff into the line from the wishbone formation, faked the pitch to the wide man and turned upheld, only to suddenly launch a long pass for a 68-yard gain and an apparent touchdown. Turned out, however, that he crossed the line of scrimmage before unleasing the ball which nulified the play. The game statistics would indicate the Tigers aren't going to be a true wishbone team, even If they line up in that formation next fall.

The winning Purple squad tried 17 passes, completing 11 for 165 yards. They finished with the kind of balanced offense all coaches strive for 164 yards on the ground and 165 through the air. The losing Gold team, though not as effective, attempted 18 passes, completed six for 90 yards. The difference game in the fact that the Golds rushed 35 times for just 23 yards, which indicates the winners also had the superior defense. The Nebraska coaching staff has the entire summer to plan.

But an opener on enemy ground in LSU's friendly Pit shapes up as a tough test for the Huskers. Sharing By Chuck Sinclair Nebraska kicking coach Cletus Fisher was looking to Saturday's spring game with hopes of a single placekicker emerging from the pack. He found one who could kick a 52-yard field goal, one perfect on point after attempts and one who found the endzone with every kickoff. Only one problem It took three different kickers to accomplish the three feats. Cozad sophomore Dean Sukup opened the scoring and Fischer's eyes by nailing a 52-yarder in the first quarter, but had the misfortune of missing both his point after attempts.

Senior Al Eveland, after sharing kicking duties last year with graduated Mike Coyle, nailed his only extra point try, but missed field goal attempts from 47 and 34 yards. California transfer Ron VanderMeer, a senior in eligibility from Cal-Berkeley, was two of four in field goals, but missed his only point after try. VanderMeer, however, sent receivers to the endzone to field both of his kickoffs while Sukup and Eveland showed some inconsistency in that department. It should be noted that one of VanderMeer's misses was from 63-yards out, and the other was just short from 45-yards into a stiff breeze that would have tied the game with .20 left. "It looks like we've got three pretty good kickers," Fischer noted.

"But there's just no excuse foi missing as many extra points as we did today." Williuul a 53-inan travel limit, next fall's kicking decision would be easy. Sukup could nail the long ones, VanderMeer could kick off and by fiedl goals of 30-40 yards and Eveland could specialize from inside the 30. "It'll be a little different in fall camp when we have time to work with the regular holders," Fischer said. "We've just got to spend more time with the quarterbacks. With three kickers in the spring, it's pretty tough to get them all in." None of the three blamed anyone but themselves for their particular misfortune.

"I must not have been concentrating," Sukup said of his missed PATs. "That's about the only reason you miss something that close. It seems the short ones should be easy, but I guess it can happen to anybody." "There was no excuse for the point-after that I missed," VanderMeer admitted. "That was all my fault." "I just shanked both of my field goals to the right," Eveland said. "The wind wasn't a factor at all.

I just wasn't getting a good, solid hit." "I thought VanderMeer might make that last one," Fischer said, hinting that the Vince Ferragamo influenced transfer Fairbury Wins Golf Tourney Team Scoring Fairbury 1 303 UNO 336' Doane 322 Concordia 358 Fairbury 2 330 Crete Fairbury won the second annual Doane Night Relays Invitational Golf Tournament, topping Doane for the team title.
