Kansas' Huskers Hoping History Will Repeat Slate mm 25 Though Minnesota holds a 29-13-2 edge in the series between the two schools, Nebraska has captured the last seven meetings in a row. Cornhusker coach Bob Devaney has never last to the Gophers, Nebraska was a 35-7 victor last fall. Nebraska, which has piled up 114 points in its past two garws while giving up just 14, goes into the contest a four-touchdown favorite. The sophomore passing combination of quarterback David Humm and split end Bob Revelle he snared six tosses last week against Army plus the elusive speed of Johnny Rodgers and up-the-middle power of I-back Gary Dixon and fullback Bill Olds will highlight the Nebraska offense. Minnesota's Veer-T offense, similar to the wishbone but with more passing potential, will thoroughly test the Husker defensive secondary, but the pass rush of middle guard Rich Glover, alternating tackles Bill Janssen, John Dutton and Monte Johnson and ends Harper and Steve Man-stedt, is expected to minimize that threat.

Jl K) n---jMiTr By VIRGIL PARKER The 1972 edition of the Nebraska football team playing like a carbon copy of the national championship clubs of 1970 and 71 during its past two games, entertains Minnesota in its final non-conference clash of the season at Memorial Stadium "in Lincoln Saturday afternoon at 1:30. The healthy Huskers, sporting power, passing, speed and depth, face a winless Golden Gopher club which has been riddled by injuries and is searching for replacements. New Minnesota coach Cal Stoll, who while the head man at Wake Forest for three years lost to Nebraska, 36-12 in 1970, says his club is showing continual improvement each week. The Gophers were edged, 27-23, by Indiana in the opener, then were bounced by Colorado last week, 38-6. But Stoll feels his troops played better against Buffs, despite the lopsided score.

"We moved the ball well in the first quarter, but a holding penalty killed our momentum. Then we fumbled on the next series. You can't make mistakes against top teams Lincoln, Neb. Friday, Sept. 29, 1972 like Colorado and Nebraska." While Nebraska's only serious injury of the young season an elbow injury to defensive end Willie Harper-has healed, the Minnesota trainer's report this week wafa't much brighter to Stoll than the prospect of playing the defending national champions.

Gopher defensive signal caller Mike Steidl has been ruled out for six weeks with a shoulder separation. In addition, running backs Kevin Keller and Jim Henry are doubtful. Henry suffered a strained knee while Keller has a hip injury. Present plans call for flankerback George Honza to move to the running back spot with his replacement, Dale Henrickson, advancing to a -starting role from the second unit. tJ Bob Revelle Husker Receiver David Humm Soph Passer THE LINEUPS 1 A 1 Northeast Weathers Pius Bid Offense NEBRASKA NE Pius Name List White Wolfe Dumler Ht.

Faculty representatives of the league's eight schools, who form the conference governing body, took Kansas off probation late Thursday.

The school had been placed on probation in October 1970 for two years for recruiting violations. However, Kansas is still on a one-year probation put on the Jayhawks in football, basketball and track last Aug. 18 by the National Collegiate Athletic Associ ation. Thursday's Big Eight action does not affect the NCAA probation in any way. "The conference made a thorough investigation into the operation and administration of the Kansas Athletic Department," said Big Eight Commissioner Charles M.

Neinas, who announced the action of the faculty representatives, "and found that KU is conforming in every respect to the rules and regulations of the conference and the NCAA. "As far as the conference is concerned, Kansas has a clean slate." Neinas said the action took effect immediately. "Our investigation leads us to have confidence in the way the program is being administered at Kansas," Neinas added. A new policy regarding legislation governing student athletes also was announced by Neinas. Under the new policy, athletes enrolled in member institutions prior to Thursday will benefit from changes in rules and regulations which are liberalized.

However, present athletes will not be affected by rules changes which are made more strict. Potential legislation of the NCAA was reviewed by the faculty rep resentatives. Financial aid to athletes was also reviewed. The conference supports the idea of a divided legislative structure in the NCAA, Neinas said. Chairmen of the two NCAA committees, David Swank of the University of Oklahoma and Wade Stinson of Kansas, participated in the discussions on the NCAA issues.

Swank is a faculty representative and Stinson an athletic director. Arthur W. Nebel, faculty representative from the University of Missouri for 14 years, was recognized, Neinas said, for "many outstanding contributions to the conference and intercollegiate athletics," Nebel resigned from the body and was succeeded Sept. 1 by Henry T. Lowe.

Carr Predicts Close Games Don Carr, the Journal football forecaster who hails from Nashville, has picked 370 of 475 games correctly so far this season. He's missed on an even 100, while five ended in a tie. Of the 13 pro contests slated this weekend, Carr feels eight of them will be decided by three points or less. The most lopsided point spread is assigned to the Washington Redskins, a 14-point choice over New England. i I Defense 97 Neils 6-2 210 Jr.

Sportsman Russell Dies, fi By RANDY YORK Prep Sports Vince Aldrich, the dean of Capital City prep football coaches, is up to his old tricks. His Thunderbolts didn't quite pull it off Thursday night at Seacrest Field, but they threw a giant-sized scare into second-ranked and heavily favored Lincoln Northeast before losing, 8-7. It served to reinforce a contention held by many that the 'Bolts seem to save their best for Lincoln teams. "We certainly were at our best admitted Aldrich, in his 23rd season as Pius head coach. "I was proud of the way our kids played.

It was by far our best game of the season. I was also encouraged because this game had more meaning for us than the first three." Pius unimpressive with a pair of losses and a 7-6 win over Crete, didn't waste any time in swinging the pendulum of momentum its way. The Thunderbolts, with Joe Millard recovering a Scott Votova fumble after he had caught a 13-yard pass, dove 77 yards in eight plays on their first offensive possession of the game. A 30-yard run by hard-running halfback Artie Aksamit and a 19-yard pass from Dan Elsener to end Jim Rust helped set up a 2 3 -yard Elsener to end John Magsamen scoring aerial with 4:20 remaining in the first quarter. "Pius was ready to play football and we weren't.

That's all there was to it," observed Northeast coach Bob Els. "All less than a week earlier had Cont. on Page 26, Col. 4 Plus 7 0 0 0-7 Northeast 0 0 0 0-8 Pius Magsamen, 23 pass from Elsener (Millard kick). Northeast Maske, 28 pass from Ketterer (Ketterer run).

Russell, in 1959, became the driving force behind the organization of the Shrine Bowl all-star football game. For the next 11 years, until his retirement for health reasons in 1970, Russell personally directed the game. Proceeds from the successful charity contest has resulted in ovei $900,000 in contributions to the Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children in Minneapolis. Russell was a member of the University's Club, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Masons, Scottish Rite, KCCH, York Rite, Sesostris Temple Jesters, Green Fez and the Board of Governors of the Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children. He was also a member of the Episcopal Church, the Lincoln Country Club and the Chamber of Commerce.

Russell is survived by his wife, Helen, daughter, Mrs. Richard (Roberta) Spangler and three grandchildren, all of Lincoln. Funeral arrangements are pending at Hodgman-Splain-Roberts Mortuary. as high as he had hit some of his shots hard very high. Paul Henderson of Toronto said "unbelievable, unbelievable" was the feeling to punch home the winning goal in the third straight game against the Soviet National team.

His heroics with 34 seconds left gave the Canadian pros a come-from-behind 6-5 victory over the Russians in the final of the eight game series and an overall record of 4-3-1. A beaming Coach Harry Sinden said the win after going into the third period down 5-3 wiped out the disgrace of losing two of the first four games in Canada. "A great, great series," Sinden called it. Consecutive one-goal wins in each of the last three games amounted to victory "more for our players than our style," -he said. I'm happy particularly for the National Hockey League players unjustly criticized and called a disgrace to their country." Esposito batted in a high pass from Montreal's Peter Mahovlich at 2:27 of the third period to make it 5-4 but when Yvan Cournoyer tied it up at 12:56 and the red goal light did not go on, trouble started.

Alan Eagleson, the National Hockey League's player representative, began yelling and was hauled from his seat by Soviet police. Peter Mahovlich, Bergman and Stapleton led a charge of Canadian players over the boards after the police, and with sticks and skates flying, they extricated the shaken Eagleson and escorted him across the ice to the Canadian bench. Minutes later, files of gray uniformer militia reinforcements filed in both sides of the rink to keep order. Then Henderson knocked in his own rebound and it was all over but the "we're number one," chants, the all night Canadian parties and the final Soviet analysis. Boris Kulagin, the assistant Soviet coach, met newsmen after the game and said despite the heated tempers in some of the matches, "it was a great pleasure to meet the Canadian pros.

"We have learned much, but we will not hurry the analysis."
