Sflturdoy, Sept. 17, 1966 The Lineoln Star 11 TCU Loaded With Veterans. Only Two Sophs Start HARRY WILSON Husker Runner. By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Texas Christian returns starters at three backfield positions from a year ago, but the 62,644 fans who are expected to jam Memorial Stadium for this opener between the Horned Frogs and Nebraska are likely to see plenty of three youngsters in opposing backfield. Fullback Kenny Post, halfback Steve Landon and i a David Smith have been able to hang onto their starting assignments for the Horned Frogs, but TCU backers feel they have solid backup men in sophomores Norman Bulaich at halfback, Leslie Brown at wingback and Ross Montgomery at fullback.

see a lot of action in the TCU coach Abe Martin nointed Friday in di his talented sophomores. got to give them some game when I put them in there, I feel giving up anything. They are good football players and not afraid of the hurting The main reason a ple of the sophomores starting is that they must back the Southwest Conference Sophomore Back of The Year (Landon) and the runner-up that honor (Post) for starting assignments. Only two sophomores off last unbeaten frosh squad have managed to bag starting spots, evidence of the strength of returnees. Left guard Rick Sheddy and center Fred Wright will be playing side-by-side on the offensive unit as the only sophomores.

The only Texas Christian player missing who figured in the Horned Frogs scoring last year against Nebraska is quarterback Kent Nix. Nix tossed a 10-yard touchdown pass to Campbell to pull the visitors within 14-7 after the Huskers had taken a quick 14-0 lead on two passes from quarterback Bob Churchich to Freeman White. has been replaced by P. D. Shabay, a junior who had injury problems when TCU visited in Lincoln last September.

other touchdown a year ago was scored by Landon on a three-y a run. But the picture on the Nebraska side is not as bright with White gone and whth the player who came up with the key play in the contest also missing. Bill Johnson, a defensive halfback from Stanton, came up with what proved to be the turning point in the game a year ago when he intercepted a pass just before the half time intermission and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown. The interception came after TCU had battled back to a 14-7 score and with the Horned Frogs threatening to tie it up. But instead, they went to the dressing room trailing 21-7, and never recovered.

The other two touchdowns a year ago were scored by Ron Kirkland on an 11-yard run and by Ken Brunk on a one- yard dive. Both Kirkland and Brunk are back this season. Tickets Available Nebraska ticket manager Jim Pittenger said Friday afternoon that a limited supply of i returned by Texas Christian would be put on sale at 10 a.m. this morning at the Coliseum ticket Office.

It look too promising for the Knights who had managed to score in only one game against the Rockets in the last five years. But after Menn fumbled early in the second half on the Rocket 42 and end Dick Hergenrader recovered, the Southeast crew began its only touchdown drive of the night. Ten plays and some anxious moments later the Knights had moved the ball only ten yards and were faced with a fourth and 18 situation. Quarterback Craig Lutz handed to halfback Jon Roberts who rolled to right and tossed the ball high in the air just before being smothered by the Rocket line.
