By DON FORSYTHE Big Frank Patrick, who watched and waited as a sophomore redshirt last fall, came to play Saturday. Bidding for the job as 1967 quarterback, the 6-7 Pennsylvanian generated most of the offensive spark in a 16-14 Red win over the Whites as the Corn- huskers completed their Spring football drills before 5,000 fans at Seacrest Field. Patrick worked with both teams, on the side of the winning Reds as they piled up their 16 in the first half and with the Whites as they scored 14 second-half points. He finished the afternoon with 8 completions in 14 attempts for 87 yards to put a dent into the defensive units which dominated the intra-squad contest.

Until a lapse midway in the fourth quarter when Suniias!

Yds. Mueller 1 38 Stale College Athlete of Year ing the comeback bid by the top offensive unit. He took a Patrick pitch and zipped around end for 30 yards to put the ball in position for the first White touchdown. It was a three-play, 45- yard drive with a Patrick incomplete pass sandwiched between gallop and a pitch to the other side to soph speedster Joe Orduna for a 15-yard touchdown effort. touchdown run came on a fourth and two situation with the Red defense stacked up in the middle.

Ben took a Tony Dvorsak pitch, got a good block in the right flat from sophomore guard Carl Ashman and had clear sailing to the goal. It was so easy that he had time to bobble the ball and pull it back in again as he thundered the last 10 yards. It took only a few minutes for the Red defense to assert its superiority. An A1 Kuehl punt which sailed high, but just seven yards out, gave the ball to the Whites on the 28-vard stripe. Kuehl quickly atoned for his poor punt by shooting to stop Dick Davis for a two-yard loss on the first offensive play.

Two Bob Ahlschwede field goal attempts failed early for the Whites, then the Reds used a big defensive play by Marv Mueller to set up a weird game-opening touchdown. Mueller, switched back to replace Larry Wachholtz at safety, camped under an Ernie Sigler pass at the 32 and swivel-hipped his way 38 yards to the 31. Patrick, who had taken over for starter Ai Fierro, faded back to pass immediately and found himself in a crowd of White jerseys. The strapping sophomore somehow shook loose back towards midfield and threw toward another crowd in the end zone. Two receivers and two defenders went for the ball and it caromed off several hands into the arms of a surprised Buster Yannon.

Early in the second period Patrick got the Reds close enough for Jerry Patton to boot a 41-yard field goal to make it 16-0. Fierro came back moments later to lead another scoring drive, sending sophomore Sherwin Jarmon behind the secondary for a 43- yard reception which carried the ball to the 17- With Charley Winters and Mick Ziegler sharing the load the Reds banged it in in in six plays, Winters going the final four. An interception by the Laurie Green and fumbles plagued the Reds after the intermission as Fierro and Ernie Sigler shared the signal calling. Patrick, buoyed by his early success, picked up where he left off after he changed jerseys at halftime. The weekend rains which had threatened to force postponement of the game stopped just before the 2 p.m.

By CHUCK WOODLING As a freshman and sophomore at Doane College, Fred Davis was just another football player. His name might as well have been Joe Doaks. Fred savored all the glory usually heaped upon offensive Then it happened. Doane had its first undefeated season in history and its 6-2, 245-pound left offensive tackle was named to the Associated Press Little all-America team.

Davis was chosen an NAIA all-American too, but the AP team is the big one, Other members of that AP squad came from such pseudo little schools as San Diego State and Southern Illinois. Fred throws the shot put enough to have won the NAIA indoor championship earlier this year with his best toss At the Kansas State Invitational in March the 21-year-old Chicagoan won again, beating the best in the Big Eight in the process.
