'I ISU Tough Test for Bob's 100th Big 8 Win Eight career pass catching record. It marked the 15th entry of his name in the school record book. It was also his fourth Big Eight record. In addition to number of catches, he holds career marks in pass reception yardage, season touchdown receptions and career TD catches. Nebraska will be shooting for its 12th straight win over Iowa State and a chance to up its lopsided dominance of the series which dates back to 1896.

How the series stands depends on whom you believe. Nebraska claims to have won the 1907 game, 10-9, while Iowa State says the Cyclones were victorious, 13-10. Nebraska's count on the series stands at 54-11-1. Iowa States says its is 53-12-1. Dating back to 1969, the Comhuskers have been undefeated in 39 of their last 40 games.

Only blots in the last 40 have been a 21-21 tie with USC in 1970 and the 20-17 loss to UCLA which opened the current campaign. Though Humm is also among the national leaders eighth all of his yardage has come through his passing. He has a minus total as a runner. Strachan, a sophomore, is third in the nation as a runner and the only Big Eight performer among the country's top ten after averaging 127.3 yards per game on the ground. But rushing is the only category in which the Cyclones outshine Nebraska.

The Comhuskers lead the Big Eight in five of eight statistical divisions passing offense, scoring offense, rushing defense, passing defense and total defense. Oklahoma paces the other three. The stingy Nebraska "Bltck Shirt" defense will be counted upon to stymie the running and passing plans of Strachan and Amundson. Humm's passing despite a wet ball and the exciting Rodgers will try to keep the Nebraska offense in high gear. Last week against Colorado, Rodgers broke the ail-time Big By VIRGIL PARKER Ames, la.

The Nebraska Cornhuskecs will be seeking coach Bob Devaney's 100th Big Red victory, continued undisputed lead of the Big Eight and their high national ranking when they tangle with the Iowa State Cyclones here Saturday afternoon. Devaney, the winningest coach In the country, will reach the century level for the second time in hit career against Iowa State if his Huskers register a triumph. Ironically, when bis 1969 club topped the Cyclones in Lincoln, 17-3, it marked his 100th win as a head coach. Devaney now stands 99-19-1 at the helm of the Comhuskers. Counting his five seasons at Wyoming, he is 134-29-6 overall.

For the third week in a row Nebraska faces a team with Big Eight title hopes. Two weeks ago, Oklahoma State came to Lincoln for a first-place showdown. The Big Red! turned in its fourth consecutive shutout while recording a 34-0 victory. Last Saturday the Huskers ended Colorado's championship hopes by handing the Buffalos their third league setback. Iowa State, paced by the league's top total offensive leader, quarterback George Amundson, and the loop's leading rusher, tailback Mike Strachan, (pronounced Strawn), is another club which harbors title hopes.

The Cyclones have lost just twice, to Colorado and Oklahoma. The game could turn into a slip and slide contest. Clyde Williams Field does not sport an artificial surface. Heavy rains last week, which picked up again Thursday, threaten to turn the field into a mud bowl. Nebraska's wide-open offense, which has relied heavily on the passing of quarterback David Humm and the fancy stepping of slotback Johnny Rodgers, could be hampered by wet, slow, natural turf.

Amundson ranks fourth in the nation in total offense, but the 6-3, 214-pound senior adds a powerful running threat. As a junior he played tailback for the Cyclones and rushed for a record 1,316 yards. -J' J. St. i' 1 i Daryl White Offensive Tackle Mike Beran Husker Guard Judge Stops Colorado Olympic Exit THE LINEUPS Fieldhouse Bidding Permitted Offense CitiwlnMmti mm But the last-ditch effort to save the games was criticized by the DOOC, a group which donated thousands of man-hours and dollars in an effort to keep the Olympics alive.

"The people here are good people," DOOC Chairman W. Richard Goodwin said. "They're trying to tell us something, and I think we ought to listen. "We lost. I think we should learn something from that.

Let's not prolong this to the point that whoever does stage the games can't do a good job." The DOOC, ignoring Arkin's pleas, unanimously approved a resolution authorizing its of ficers to notify the IOC as soon as the court order ends Monday that Denver and Colorado have "no choice but to withdraw the invitation extended for the holding of the 1976 Olympic Winter Games at Denver." Denver Mayor William McNichols said it was a dead issue and suggested the city and state should withdraw as quickly as possible. The only reason anyone from Colorado should appear before the IOC Monday, the mayor said, should be "to thank them for the honor and say we don't want it (the Olympics) because the people don't want it." Attorney Harry L. Arkin argued that Coloradans only cut off further tax funds for the Olympics and were not given a chance to decide if they actually wanted the games on a privately funded basis. Arkin planned to make at 1 a i flight to International Olympic Committee (IOC) headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, Monday to try to keep the Winter Olympics in Colorado. He and the others hope to raise the necessary millions of dollars to stage the games through private donations and a plea for federal funds.

Arkin DENVER (UPI) Colorado tried to get out of hosting the 1976 Winter Olympics Thursday, but a district judge would not allow it. He kept the state's obligation firm, at least for the weekend. Less than two hours before the Denver Olympics Organizing Committee (DOOC) met to withdraw officially its invitation to host the games, District Judge Neil Horan barred the action. Horan gave three Denver area businessmen at least until Monday to figure out a way to save the games, which were overwhelmingly rejected by Colorado voters at the polls Tuesday. Friday, Nov.

10, 1972 21 announced the formation of the Colorado Committee to Retain the Winter Games to help in the effort. "If there is the slightest chance that we can retain the Olympics in Colorado, we owe it to the people who have supported the games to do so," Arkin said. IOWA STATE NEBRASKA No. Name Ht. Wt.

Authorization was made Thursday for the letting of bids for construction of the $12 million University of Nebraska Fieldhouse. Bids on construction of the facility, to be used jointly by NU and the State Fair Board, are to be "phased," according to a plan adopted by the Board of Directors of the NU Facilities Corporation, the members of which are the NU Board of Regents. The phasing of bids is to allow for the speediest possible construction of the building, according to UNL Chancellor James Zumberge.

Zumberge was empowered by the board to approve bids as they came in after consultation with the State Department of Administrative Services, the architects, the UNL physical plant office and regents' property committee chairman Kermit Wagner. Zumberge's approvals is subject to ratification by the regents. Zumberge was directed to accept as the board's representative the "lowest responsible bid on any construction proposed." The board also formally selected Davis. Clark Associates and Leo A. Daly Co.

as architects for the facility without the written Warren C. Johnson explained that the two firms had done architectural work on the facilty without the written contract authorized by the board Thursday. The architects' fee for the project is $635,000, or 5.969 of the building costs.

"My son Steve, 17, is an excellent skier so I decided to take him out there for a crack at the big slopes. "I talked at the local Lions Club there, like I do lots of times because of their interest in blind programs. "They even had a program called BOLD (Blind Outdoor Leisure Development) set up. Then, somebody said there was a blind fellow there who could ski as well as an expert he had been an instructor before losing his sight. "I didn't believe it, but the next day they introduced me to him John Eymere who had been on the French Olympic team until he got diabetes and lost his sight about two years before.

"He came charging down the hill like he was in a race and never once came close to lo.ing his balance. That's when I decided to try it." The way Skobel explains it a listener almost gets the impression that a blind person can learn to ski easier than someone with 20-20 vision. "You don't need your eyes to ski," he says. "It's the legs that are important. Besides, someone who can't see almost always has an extra sensitive sense of touch and sound.

By HARVEY DUCK (c) Chicago Daily News Chicago Sam Skobel, 45, strapped on a pair of skis for the first time last January during a visit to Aspen, Colo. Within a couple of days he was tackling the tougher slopes with as much confidence as a veteran. This is the same Sammy Skobel who put in 20 years as a professional roller derby skater and who in 1958 set a world speed record by skating a mile in two minutes, 33 seconds a 42-mile-an-hour average. It is the same Sammy Skobel who has been legally blind since he was 4 years old when he lost all but 10 per cent of his vision as a result of scarlet fever. Because he took to skiing so quickly and skillfully, Skobel is convinced that it is an ideal sport for blind persons.

That's why he is organizing a free-learn-to-ski program for the blind to be held this season at Fox Trails in Cary, 111. If the program is a success, and Sam is convinced that it will be because 18 persons 15-30 years of age plus four blinded Vietnam veterans already have next step will be to establish a U.S. Blind Athletes Assn. "The only thing that might slow us down is if parents of blind kids think that their children might get injured while skiing and won't give them a chance," he says. "But, there's less chance of blind people hurting themselves while skiing than for sighted people.

You've got to try." Skobel, who owns a snack shop with his wife, Vee, credits his parents with giving him the opportunity to make a life of his own without being pampered. "That's the way that I got through high school and that's how I managed in the roller derby. I culdn't tell one skater from another, so I learned to identify them by body contours and their skating mannerisms. I never had any trouble.

But the Wildcats own a two-game winning streak having won the past two weeks 690 yards and a 4.8 average per carry, as the Wildcats' main running threat. "But Wayne has a good passing attack with (Rick) Benedetto which will really test our defensive backs," Chaffee remarked.

"Wayne will be tough," Chaffee said. "They've got two wins under their belt after some early season frustrations. We'll need one of our best efforts to win." Chaffee singled out Wayne tailback Reggie Smith, with latter half of the season. A key loss was quarterback Ross Stephenson, who suffered a knee injury. Sophomore Andy Federle of Harrison has taken over the quarterback chores.
