69 Devaney. Likes Miami Scenery Nebraska football coach Bob Devaney said Thursday the only bowl game that interests him is the Orange Bowl. To win that the Cornhuskers' need to win the Big Eight title, and to win the title, the Huskers first need to conquer Oklahoma State here Saturday. "It's foolish to look beyond Oklahoma State," Devaney suggested. "They (the Cowboys) can take it out of us quick because they're the kind of team that can give us or anyone trouble with a fine balance between running and passing.

Devaney said he had not been contacted by any bowl officials. The Huskers worked on their kicking game and pass defenses Thursday, while reviewing offense and defense for the Cowboys. Devaney said there would be no practice Friday, only a squad meeting. Memorial Stadium turf was covered with canvas in view of predicted wet weather. Hunting Clock Sunset Friday, 5:08 p.m.

ing, tackling and running. Injuries Untimely While the complete fulfillment of Thornton's potential, which almost assuredly would have wound up with All-American selection, was curtailed by two injuries this fall, the return to full duty of the All-Big 8 fullback is cheering news for University of Nebraska. With Thornton back on the first team Coach Bob Devaney's Huskers have been established a 17-point favorite to win this last home game and set the stage for a showdown at Oklahoma next Joining Co-captains Thornton and guard Dwain Carlson will be 16 other seniors Jim Huge, Bill Comstock, Larry Donovan, Tyrone Robertson, Al Fischer, Jed Rood, Don Stevenson, Noel Martin, Dennis Stuewe, Ernie Bonistall, John Faiman, Tom Ernst, Koehler, Gary Toogood, Mike Eger and Warren Powers. Thornton, who came to Nebraska from Toledo, boomed for 422 yards in his sophomore season and 619 yards as a junior. This year he has 153 yards in seeing limited service.

He has totaled points for 3 seasons. His 1,193 yards rushing already rank high on the NU career list. He was given his biggest honor when he was named to the Innocents Society, NU honorary group. With Thornton in action last week the Huskers boomed past Kansas in a game which saw the Jayhawkers favored to win. NU Seeks First Win Oklahoma State added to its stock with an excellent win over Army at Michie Stadium at West Point no easy task as the Huskers of 1957 will attest.

Coach Cliff Speegle usually brings his club along for a strong finish. There will be a fine passer in Mike Miller, leading flinger in. the Big 8 Conference, and a host of fleet backs behind a strong line. Speegle has beaten Nebraska both times since the Cowboys entered the Big 8. Both times the Ags waited for a Husker mistake and then capitalized on it.

Nebraska's role as the favorite comes through its No. 4 position among the nation's rushing teams. The Huskers have averaged 264 yards per game on the ground and yards per game for total offense. Devaney uses two alternating units and will make considerably use of a flock of fine, strong backs. Lot of Guests Willie Ross, who blasted for 3 touchdowns and 111 yards against Kansas, is the leading rusher.

Adding a big threat to this running attack is quarterback Dennis Claridge, the 3rd ranked passer in the conference and the Huskers No. 2 runner. The finale spectacle of the 1962 season will be spiced by the appearance of Nebraska and Oklahoma State bands, high school football champions from North Platte and Hayes Center, fathers of the NU Varsity at Dads Day, and members of the 1920-21-22 Nebraska football teams. A crowd of around 35,000 is expected despite of bad weather. Nebr.

Streams Yielding Fish The Missouri River and Panhandle trout streams are providing the best Nebraska fishing these days, the gaine commission reported Thursday. Henry Tramp of Crofton, using a minnow for bait, landed an 8-pound Walleye fishing below Gavins Point dam. Walleye and Sauger are running in excellent numbers both above and below the dam, the commission said. Good catches also are being taken in the Missouri in the lower Decatur 'Bend section north of Tekamah. Brown trout weighing up to 3 pounds are being brought in from Blue Creek north of Oshkosh and Rainbows running between one and 5 pounds provide action in Nine Mile Creek east of Scottsbluff.

Franklin. Thunder in home finale. Cloudy Day for Archie 'Louisville Lip' Saviour For Heavyweight Division 72 86 15 45 20 30 207. 181. 198., Los Angeles (A) Cassius Marcellus Clay, the Louisville Lip who calls the round for a knockout and makes it come true, most assuredly must be the Crown Prince of the heavyweight.

division in boxing today. Twenty-year-old Cassius established himself, in case there was any doubt, as the heir to the heavyweight throne Thursday night when in 4 rounds the exact round he had predicted he knocked out a game, a gallant and a quite old and outclassed Archie Moore. It was not a great fight. But it had its dramatic overtones. Here today is youthful, ebullient Clay, unbeaten now in 16 straight fights.

as a professional fighter, brash, cocky and faced with the fact that there is hardly anyone left in the depleted heavyweight section to fight except the champion himself, Sonny Liston. And even William Faversham Clay's chief manager, or the man most prominent in the syndicate of influential Louisville businessmen who own him conced-54, ed they are in no hurry to tangle with the ominous Sonny. And Moore's future? What will happen to a remarkable professional, a man whose sole future for almost 30 years has been the trade of prizefighting?

The symbolism about the sun "going down, obviously meaning was this the end of the line for Archie, was propounded by Archie's close friend, Jack Murphy of the San Diego Union. Archie, sitting on a rubbing table in his dressing room at the Sports Arena, thought awhile longer.

There was a glove bruise around the forehead above the left eye. Otherwise he was unmarked. "Every morning brings a new ray of sunshine, a new ray of hope," he finally observed. "I've had cloudy nights before."
