1 Parker's Picks For Nebraska-NC State Clash Quarterback Question Remains Jf I 8 1 Shaw suffered an injury. After the Wolfpack was chosen for the Peach Bowl game, Shaw broke his arm in practice and was unable to play. Buckey, a freshman at the time, paced NC State to a 49-13 rout of West Virginia as he threw two TD tosses and ran for another touchdown. For his performance, Buckey was named the outstanding offensive player in the bowl-game. Shaw has started both" games for the Wolfpack this fall (57-8 over East Carolina and 43-23 over Virginia) but it has been the play of Buckey, coming off the bench, which has sparked the Wolfpack.

Buckey was 6-6 in the opener and completed his first five tosses against Virginia before throwing an incompletion. His ledger currently stands at 13 completions in 15 attempts for 245 yards and three TDs. Coach Holtz believes the Pack will have to play a "total team" game against top-ranked Nebraska hi order to have a chance at victory. "They have a tremendous football team, one with no visible weakness," says the Wolfpack skipper. "They have a great offense, a great defense and ar.

outstanding kicking game. That's what football is all about." Osborne has pronounced his Cornhuskers ieady and fit with one possible exception. Defensive cornerback Randy Borg missed Thursday's drills, confined to the student health center with the flu. "We expect he'll be okay for the game, however," Osborne reports. "If not, Ardell Johnson will take his spot on the defense, and Bob Thornton will assume his punt returning duties." But Osborne says his club should be ready.

"We've dune all we can to prepare for the game. Now, I just hope we play well and the ball bounces the right way." A new addition to the coaching staff joined in the preparations for the Wolfpack. Wally English, a former assistant coach at Virginia Tech, has joined the Nebraska staff as a graduate assistant. "He's working with us in a general way at the present time," Osborne reports. "Specific duties haven't been assigned as yet, although he's already helping us with our recruiting." By Virgil Parker As the hawker outside Memorial Stadium will tell you Saturday afternoon, "You can't tell the players without a program." The program will come in most handy for picking out the quarterback.

Nebraska coach Tom Osborne and North Carolina State mentor Lou Holtz both have a decision to make before their two dubs square off for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff. The homestanding Cornhuskers will open with either Steve Runty (No. 13) or Dave Humm (No. 12) at the signal calling post, while the visiting Wolfpack will start -Bruce Shaw (another No.

12) or Dave Buckey (No. 11). It's the kind of decision coaches like to make. All four are excellent leaders who can mafe the offense move. While all four are likely to see action, neither coach will pick his starter until kickoff time.

Runty moved into strong contention for the call from Osborne on the basis of a sterling performance in Nebraska's opening game against UCLA. Runty led the Huskers to a 40-13 victory over the Bruins. It was the first start for the homestate senior from Ogallala as he replaced Humm, the regular in 1972, who was hobbled by an injured knee. Runty responded by breaking Humm's Big Eight. Conference record for passing accuracy when he comoleted nine of 11 tosses for an .818 percentage mark for one touchdown and 105 yards.

Runty was named offensive player of the game in the nationally televised clash. Along with another Husker who was also making his first start sophomore I-back Tony Davis he earned national co-back of the week honors from Associated Press. Humm, the left handed dealer from Las Vegas, is back to full speed after Nebraska enjoyed an open date last Saturday. Humm smashed the Big Eight sophomore passing record and set several Nebraska school records last fall in his initial season. His single game marks were four TD passes in one game, 42 attempts in another and his accuracy record 14 of 18 against Army for .778 vvhich Runty broke against UCLA.

Humm and Runty combined for a Big Eight record last fall when they threw 23 touchdown tosses Runty had eight of them. Steve Runty To Start Again? Dave Humm Ready for Action While Humm is better known for his drop-back style of passing, Runty likes to throw on the run while rolling out. North Carolina State also has a pair of quarterbacks with differing styles of play. Shaw, like Humm, is primarily a drop back passer. He erased five long-standing school passing records last fall most of which had been set by Roman Gabriel when he was with the Wolfpack from 1959-61.

Shaw also led a potent NC State offense in snapping 33 school offensive standards. He was an all Atlantic Coast Conference choice. Like Runty, Buckey got his chance when Lineups King Proves Point; Riggs Outplayed Offense NC State No. Name Ht. Wt.

Last week: 42-11-2, .792 Tiny Signs Nate (Tiny) Archibald, the superstar guard who led the NBA in scoring, assists and time played in 1972-73, today signed a seven-vear contract with the Kansas City-Omaha Kings. Although the financial terms were not revealed, Kings president Joe Axelson stated that "this is the largest commitment ever made to a professional athlete. Archibald, the 6-1. 160-pound wonder from Texas El-Paso, recently completed his third season with the Kings. He averaged 34 points per game, 11.4 assists, and 46 minutes played, making him the best scorer, passer and iron man in the game today.

In making the announcement, Axelson said, "I think this will indicate right away to our fans that our new owners are willing to spend the money it takes to build a winner. Tiny has had three super years in the NBA and has captured the hearts of our fans. He is a genuine super star, he is a great player and he puts people into the seats.

Butler threw a scare into the Americans by acing the 188-yard par 3 16th hole with a spectacular three-iron shot.

Nicklaus and Weiskopf appeared to be coasting to an easy win with a three hole lead up to this point.

Secondly, Prep can boast for now at least to possess the state's finest defensive team. That's based jfjn the Bluejays' checking the' state's highest-scoring Class A team to 108 yards total offense. The defensive gem turned in by second-year head coach Tom Jaworski was reminiscent of those produced by Prep's legendary Don Leahy, who left the coaching ranks two years ago.

The Metropolitan Conference powers battled to a 0-0 halftime standoff. Then Prep marched 71 yards on 14 plays for its touchdown after taking the second half kickoff. Benson never untracked its vaunted offense, which had scored 86 points in two games, until late in the fourth quarter. The Bunnies scored when all-state halfback Bobby Bass squirmed off tackle for a 2-yard touchdown with 4:25 remaining. Rut Prep defensive end Dave Petersen and safety Dennis Costello swarmed in to tackle Benson quarterback Richie Baker to cut off the extra point attempt after he rolled out to his right.

Tackles Tom O'Doherty and Jim Better man and linebacker Terry Goodro also sparkled defensively for Prep, which held Benson's 5-5, 140-pound Bass to only 30 yeards on 18 carries, mostly off tackle.

King, one of the most decorated warriors for equal women's rights on the pro tennis circuit, said she had waited 18 years for this match with Riggs. "Ever since the day when I was 11 years old and wasn't allowed in a photo because I didn't have a tennis skirt on, I knew then that I wanted to change the sport," the 29-year-old Mrs. King said. Riggs. who claimed he would set women's tennis back 20 years against Billie Jean, looked every bit his age after the match.

Riggs appeared to tire as early as the first set and had trouble getting his first serve going. Nor could Riggs, the aging 1939 Wimbledon singles champion, match Mrs. King's continual strong ground shots, which never let up. Riggs was so sure of victory, he had vowed he would jump off the Pasadena Bridge or the London Bridge in Arizona if he lost. It was a $100,000 winner-take-all match, but television and other rights were expected to boost the winner's share to about $200,000 and give the loser about $100,000.

Despite his constant barrage of criticism against women's tennis, Riggs was a gracious loser. "What happened?" Riggs asked. 'Billie Jean was just too strong for me. She was too quick in the exchanges. I thought I had her out of court many times but she made the shots.

"I never felt better. I felt great warming up. I didn't have a good day serving but she didn't get asked. "Billie Jean was just too breaks it was me." Mrs. King didn't budge an Continued: Page 24, Col.

Offense By Dave Sittler Last week's offensive perfor mances by several Nebraska state college football teams had as much power as your kid sister's left-hook. Six area teams, Nebraska Wesley an, Doane, Chadron, Nebraska Southern, Dana and Concordia, failed to put a single point on the scoreboard. While none of the six head coaches have hit the panic button, several of them are considering changes that might add some punch to their offenses for this weekend's contests. Dana coach Bob Simpson, whose Viking dropped a 10-0 decision to Sioux Falls College, plans to open-up his offense and change quarterbacks. Woes Worry College Coaches Omaha Fourth-ranked Crcighton Prep staked its claim to No.

1 here Thursday night with a 7-6 defensive mastery of top-ranked Omaha Benson. The victory, witnessed by fans at Burke High's stadium, projects Prep into a solid ratings argument for the top Class A football perch. Two Prep traditions were upheld in the crucial Metropolitan Conference divisional conflict. Club Slates Open House The Lincoln Racquet Club, the Capital City's new indoor tennis facility, will be on display for public inspection during an open house Sunday from 2 to 8 p.m. Tennis pro John Burkman says the totally air-conditioned building, which houses four courts, will begin its fall season of play, Sept.

30. "We're going to have a tennis exhibition from 3-4 p.m. on Sunday and people are welcome to wear tennis clothes and go down on the courts." The Racquet Club will be a private club, open only to members, although Burkman will teach lessons to non-members. "We will be able to adequately accommodate about 400 members," Burkman says. "After we reach that number we will expand the facilities by adding more courts." The Lincoln Racquet Club is located at 5300 Old Cheney Road.

"If your lineman don't block, your offense is dead before it gets off the ground." Adams said the return of guard Hugh Fugleberg, and tackle Gary Daniels, should bolster the Eagles offensive line.

Both players missed the Dickinson game because of injuries. The congenial Adams said his team could be facing their toughest opponent of the season Saturday when they travel to Golden, to battle Colorado School of Mines. "They've (Colorado Mines) been bragging that this year's squad is the best they've ever had out there," Adams said. "We were much too conservative last week and will change that by putting the ball in the air this week against Westmar," he said. "We also think reserve Bill Cunard deserves a shot at the No.

1 quarterback spot." Doane coach Ray Best is also considering a quarterbacking change. His Tigers tied Wesleyan 0-0 last Saturday after scoring only 6 points in their 20-6 loss to Yankton. "We don't plan any radical changes for the TarWo game but we are going to do some experimenting with the quarterbacks," Best said. "We'll be looking at freshman Gary Knapp of Rock, Falls, Dl. He showed more quickness against Wesleyan than our other quarterbacks.".
