Nebraska-Hawaii Game Fits Needs of Both Participants HfoaftW. A WXv-WVi WWy-1. 'mUuuiC'-'" WU-LjjCVfr JUCaafclu l.UUL'UULJOltf Vj 7 A r-" i II 17 Lincoln, Neb. Monday, Dec. 6, 1971 ByDONFORSYTHE Honolulu One of the ironic features of the resumption of the Nebraska-Hawaii football series was that there was no loser in the Cornhuskers' 45-3 romp over the Rainbows Saturday night.

"You may have won the game," a Honolulu cab driver laughed Saturday night, "but we have your money." It was a game which fit the needs of both participants. Both used it as a recruiting device. For Nebraska it was the promise of a trip to Hawaii. For Hawaii it provided the opportunity to tell a prospect the Rainbows were upgrading their schedule and playing good teams. It was so successful there's a good chance the two teams will sign for another game or two before the Rainbows are scheduled to visit Nebraska in 1978.

New Stadium Ahead Chalk it up as a sure thing if were the first arrests for ticket scalping here in seven years. Although it was evident that Nebraska players weren't at an emotional peak for the game, they ably demonstrated the qualities which made them No. 1. They made few mistakes, capitalized quickly on Hawaii mistakes and came up with the big defensive plays whenever Hawaii threatened to score. Hawaii's Air Offensive Most of Hawaii's offensive success came in the air with tight end Henry Sovio, a 6-3, 234-pound senior who could the proposed new stadium is constructed on schedule.

A site is now being prepared for a new multipurpose stadium. It's difficult to judge what impressed Hawaii fans the most Saturday night, the No. 1 football team or the endless parade of red-clad Cornhusker fans who filled nearly half of the seats at the game which drew 23,002. Tickets were at a premium even though the game was televised locally. Police Thursday arrested six people, including one Nebraskan, who were scalping tickets.

They Nebraska's Jerry Tagge (14) completed only 12-24 passes, subpar for him, but they were good for 248 yards and three TDs as the Cornhuskers easily defeated Hawaii, 45-3. play in any league, catching seven passes fcr 77 yards. But the Rainbows discovered that sooner or later, the Cornhuskers will stop a passing offense. If the pass rush doesn't get you, then deep defenders will. Hawaii backs were thrown for 67 yards in losses and the Cornhuskers intercepted three passes.

Nebraska quarterback Jerry Tagge, who will make a return trip here along with Jeff Kinney, Dick Rupert and coach Bob Devaney for the Jan. 8 Hula Bowl, did a good job exploiting weaknesses in the Hawaii defense, but had some trouble generating a consistent passing attack because of a spirited Hawaii pass rush. Tagge's percentage was sub-par as he hit only 12 of 24 passes, but the 12 completions went for 248 yards and touchdowns of 80 yards to Jerry List, 32 yards to Johnny Rodgers and 17 yards to Frosty Anderson. Tagge left the game late in the third quarter, then came back midway in the last period after Van Brownson pulled a hamstring while galloping 21 yards to score on an option play early in the final quarter. Vk Weeks Of Rest The Cornhuskers will have a week and a half off before beginning preparation for Alabama.

In the interim the Nebraska coaches will begin their recruiting work for 1972 and analyze Alabama football films. Nebraska puts its No. 1 ranking, a 12-0 season and a 31-game unbeaten string on the line in the Orange Bowl. Nebraska To Battle Duquesne Probable Starters Big Eight Records Broken Selmer: Officials Impartial By RANDY YORK Officiating for the Nebraska-Hawaii football game may have drawn some unfavorable comments from Nebraskans, but NU offensive line coach Carl Selmer Monday indicated the Cornhuskers got some breaks, too. Selmer, substituting at the weekly Extra Point Club luncheon, for head coach Bob Devaney, said: "Officiating at times during the ball game was questionable.

There were two or three calls where we couldn't imagine what happened. "But, in the overall picture," added Selmer, "I think we expected that and just had to play above it." In analyzing the game film, Selmer pointed to at least three plays which could have been called against the Cornhuskers, but weren't. In fact, Selmer indicated, one pass play should have cost Nebraska six points in the Cornhuskers' first offensive series of the game. "We hadn't anticipated a safety blitz from Hawaii and it threw us off a little bit," Selmer said. "I think right there you'd have to call that a fumble," Selmer said, referring to quarterback Jerry a dropping back to pass on the first series of downs.

"You see, officiating wasn't all that bad," Selmer told the Extra Point Club audience. "It should have been a touchdown for them, but it was ruled an incomplete pass." "We actually played a very aggressive football team," Selmer said of Hawaii. "They tackled well, had tremendous pursuit and their coaches did a real fine job of preparing them. Their short look-in passes seemed quite successful." Selmer noted that four Cornhuskers suffered injuries in what he called "a hard-hitting game." Injuries to linebacker Bob Terrio, who suffered a bruised knee and offensive tackle Daryl White, who sprained an ankle, are not considered serious. Linebacker Bill 1 however, "indicated he's just not going to be ready to play" after re-injuring a knee, Selmer said.

Quarterback Van Brownson, who sustained a pulled hamstring, "many be out for the good part of a month," Selmer added, indicating he may not even be at full speed for the Orange Bowl game against Alabama. Selmer, noting that the Cornhuskers took about 70 players to the Orange Bowl last season, said Devamey "is talking about 70 plus again this season. "It will be a reward for both the offensive and defensive scout teams for their contributions this season," Selmer said. "Tli offenfce especially did a fine job in runralng Oklahoma's wishbone and they should really help us prepare for Alabama's wishbone, too." Selmer said the coaching staff had decided not to play offensive tackle Carl Johnson against Hawaii "because by not testing his leg for a couple of weeks, we think he'll be better prepared for the bowl." Selmer also praised the running efforts of Tagge and I-back Gary Dixon, "who ran as well as he has in a long time." Devaney was scheduled to return Monday from Miami where he had flown with defensive tackle Larry Jacobson and flanker Johnny Rodgers for a national television taping of Kodak all-American. team.

Kansas City (UPI) Longstanding NCAA and Big Eight football records went tumbling Saturday when No. 1-ranked Nebraska and No. 3 Oklahoma completed regular-season play with overwhelming victories. Oklahoma became the first team in NCAA history to run for more than 5,000 yards in a single season. The Sooners finished with 5,196, far more than the old record of 3,910 set by Oklahoma in 1956.

Both Nebraska (469) and Oklahoma (494) surpassed the old Big Eight scoring record of 466 points by the '56 Sooners, but they needed extra games to do it. And Greg Pruitt, with 189 yards against Oklahoma State, finished the season with 1,665 yards rushing, breaking Steve Owens' Big Eight record of 1,536 yards in one season. The Sooners also finished with an average of 566.2 yards total offense surpassing the' NCAA record of 562 set by Houston in 1968. For the season, Big Eight teams logged a 25-7-1 record against non-conference foes. The .773 percentage is the best in the history of the league.

(AP) Pro golf's prestigious leading money winning spot was scheduled to be settled today one week early with Jack Nicklaus holding the inside track on Lee Trevino and Arnold Palmer. "I'm leading the tournament going into the final round," Nicklaus said. "If I win, I'm going to be the leading money winner. If I don't win from this position, I don't deserve to be the leading money winner." This was the situation today heading into the final round of the rain-delayed Walt Disney World Open Golf Tournament: Trevino already has set a single-season money winning record with $229,777.

But he hasn't been a factor in this tournament and is well back in the field at 213. Nicklaus is second in money with $214,491, but leads the tournament which offers a $30,000 first prize from a $150,000 total purse by a single stroke at 205. Palmer, who at one time shared the third-round lead, has $200,741 earnings and must win the tournament to have a chance at the money title. He's three strokes back at 208. There's one more tournament on the schedule, next week's Bahama Islands Open.

In Chicago Loyola, Wesleyan faces a team which also meets the likes of nationally-ranked UCLA, Marquette and Minnesota during the regular season. Although veteran coach George Ireland's Ramblers finished only 4-20 last season, they opened the 1971-72 season with a 95-70 win over St. John's of Minnesota last week.

With the freshman team coming off a 14-1 season, Ireland is counting on newcomers to help return Loyola to its usual major college basketball prominence. John Strain, NWU's leading scorer, draws the dubious task of defending Martin. Peterson's other probable starters are Riedell Lintz and Lyle Hiatt at guards and Mike Renken and Dick French at forwards.

"They're a heckuva football team," Holmes said. "They don't make mistakes, We made four.

"We always could run," added Holmes, "even against major colleges we've played in the past. But we just couldn't run against this team. "Nebraska's defense in the secondary is a bit conservative," Holmes said. "They play their backs pretty deep and we thought we could compete passes in front of them." Holmes singled out two Cornhuskers middle guard Rich Glover and flanker Johnny Rodgers. "Glover ate us up," Holmes told Nebraska coach Bob Devaney.

"We had to devote so much attention to him, the whole line ruined us. "If there ever was an impressive player, Rodgers is one," added Holmes. "He can beat you so many different ways it is frightening. Our punting was great, but he still broke one." fure Honors Tom Shaw Capti 71-70-70 75-69-67-211 69-68-75-212 66- 72-74-212 67- 74-71-212 Leonard Thompson Peter Butler Chuck Courtney Dave Eichelberger Gary Groh Labron Harris Jr. Mac McLendon Joe Porter Hugh Rover Jr.
