SPORT SIGNAIS ir it it By Hai Brown Sporti Editor, The Star Fridoy, Sept. 24, 1965 Ktfir IS College Decision No Problem For NU's Carlson Devaney Given Nod Over Father For Paying Bills Improved Record, But The Big Eight football record is likely to show more than imrovement this week over last 2-4-1 mark, but the improvement be cause for any great jubilation in the conference offices of the Hotel Muehlbach at Kansas City. The lineup of Big Eight foes this week designed to boost prestige. In fact, you would have to go far down in any rating system to find many of them even listed. Fresno State, Brigham Young and Pacific are hardly among the big names of modern college football.

Fresno State, Colorado foe. had only a 4-6 record a year ago, numbering among its victims South Dakota State by 30-14. Pacific was even worse, having a 1-9 mark, and they start 1965 much better, losing to San Diego State, 46-6, in its opener last week. Brigham Young, 3-6-1 a year ago, surprised Arizoda State in their opener last week with a 24-6 win. Fresno State and Pacific are only college division members of the NCAA.

Even the Air Force Academy, foe, regarded as a football threat this season, so unless the Huskers win big, Kansas upsets Arizona and Oklahoma defeats Pittsburg, the Big Eight likely to gain much attention nationally. Count on Nebraska to do its part: NEBRASKA 34, Air Force 7.

Vince would like to put another in the files this week as his unbeaten club, ranked No. 3 in Class invades unbeaten and seventh- McKinney, a sophomore, have been getting most of the ball- toting duties. He feels that Geddes, a 198-pound senior with good speed, may be seeing more of the football come Friday night. Lack of consistency has been the apparent weakness this year as they have broken several long runs but been able to put together many sustained scoring marches. There are some questions still unanswered about Pius too.

San Lincoln Comets at Rock Hot 1st Period Propels Links TO 7-6 VICTORY By DON FORvSYTHE Sports Writer High set a blistering first quarter pace, then had to fight for its life to post a 7-6 win over Bishop Ryan at Rosenblatt Stadium Thursday night.

The win kept the Links upbeateii for the 1965 campaign, boosting their record to 2-0-1. It was the third straight setback for Bishop Ryan. Andy Links r- whelmed the hosts with a powerful ground attack in the first quarter to grab an early 7-0 lead and then stopped two deep penetrations by the Knights after the intermission. The Links took possession after the opening kickoff on their own 30 and ripped off 51 yards in their first five plays. But a penalty after Lincoln High had'reached the 19 blunted the first touchdown halfback Jim Etter.

11 found himself wide open behind the Lincoln High defense and coasted under long toss to put Ryan back in contention with 4:19 to play in the first half. Jack Galusha moved up quickly from his halfback spot to spoil attempt to run for the extra point as he trapped Etter at the line of scrimmage. The rest of the night was rather frustrating for the bid and the drive fizzled at Links as Bishop Ryan con the 15.

The Links three-yard line and came up received one of their i breaks of the evening when a Bishop Ryan punt went out of bounds at the 28.

It took the fired-up Links only four plays to score. Charley King ran for four and Jim Riggins picked up the first down at the 15 and the hosts were put further in the hole when they were detected grabbing face mask. That put tne ball on the seven and Ri hit the line for three and then four yards for the Links only touchdown. Mike Delaney provided the eventual winning margin when he booted the extra point right through the center of the uprights. The Links continued to impress until midway in the second quarter when Bishop Ryan turned to the air in an effort to move the football.

Quarterback Uhuck Osberg, a sophomore, led the Knights on a 70-yard march featured Fiitowes Lost with another brilliant defensive stand midway in the fourth quarter to preserve their victory. Ryan had moved to a first down at the Lincoln High eight yard line with less than six minutes to play but big plays by Steve David and Vincent Victoria pushed the Knights back to the 25 and Charley King stopped a screen pass to Etter at the 21 to end the threat. Riggins and Galusha then took turns lugging the pigskin as the Links ran out the last four minutes by marching 41 yards to the Bishop Ryan 38.
