He said his office received approximately Bowl game ticket requests before selection of the Sugar Bowl was announced that additional orders are now expected. Those who placed their orders before the Sugar Bowl bid was accepted need not now re-order. Pittenger said they will be billed and their orders handled as though received on the day of the Sugar Bowl acceptance. Checks should be made payable to the University of Nebraska and the price is $6.00 per ticket.

Those now placing orders should enclose their checks and include 25 cents per order to cover mailing and handling charges. The prime aim of the priority system, he said, is to give first consideration to those who have demonstrated a sustained interest in backing the Cornhuskers through good seasons and bad. On that basis. Pittenger said, priority consideration is being extended to: 1. University of Nebraska Students and Faculty 2.

Contributing Organizations 3. Season Ticket Holders of Record. 4. Former 5. Travel public and private, which normally have provided lour service for fans to Cornhusker games.

handling orders which involve none of the above Pittenger said, are going to lean in favor of members of the University of Nebraska Individuals ordering tickets who feel they are entitled to one of the above priorities should so stipulate at the time his order is placed. noted priorities will be observed until December 5th. After that date, all orders will be handled on a first come first served basis. Pittenger said his office reserves the right to adjust any ticket orders for two reasons. sfudents expecting to have a priority will have an opportunity to place their Sugar Bowl orders after the Thanksgiving holiday.

The specific time and other details will be announced later, Pittenger said. To give Nebraskans living outside the Lincoln area an even break with those close to the University, date of postmark rather than date of receipt will be used, Pittenger said. Some eager fans, Pittenger said, submitted early requests for tickets. These will, he said, be processed as Sugar Bowl orders and no re-o is needed. Pittenger emphasized that an acknowledgment of a ticket request by his office or a billing for a ticket is neither a confirmation of the order nor a promise the order will be filled.

Least passing was done by Kearney with 131 aerial tosses.

The Kearney ground game almost doubled other colleges in rushing. They rushed 685 times to runner up Wayne 426. Dick Anderson, who preserved a 10-9 victory over Air Force with two interceptions, 16 tackles several in key situations and a 40.5 punting average. Anderson, a hard-hitting 204- poiind junior with thin blond hair, was picked over Iowa State quarterback Tim Van Galder, who threw for 335 yards against Arizona and broke the Big Eight career passing record with 3,333 yards. Both of interceptions came in the fourth period.

and one of them, on a screen pass situation, was termed by Colorado coaches one of the best defensive plays all year. He had the short screen area covered, but when the passer went deeper he rushed back to- steal it, then returned it 15 yards. He was one of two men who stopped Air Force on a fourth- and-two situation at the Buff 38 with 3:30 left. Later he put Force in the hole with a 47-yard punt to the 7-yard line. I lined up on the inside leg of my man inside of his outside leg.
