Corson. RS-lrwin. Huskers Come Through Without Any Injuries Nebraska Coach Bob Devaney makes his point a discussion with officials. It appeared that no new injuries popped up in 38-13 victory over Colorado Saturday, some old ones might not have been helped any. Coach Bob Devaney said it appeared halfback Ron Kirkland and end Langston Coleman had bumped their shoulders again and that was why they were used sparingly.

Larry Wachholtz still has a leg that bothers him when he kicks and he practice. just kicks on Bob said. what we ought to start doing with our Larry was perfect five for five and kicked a 35- yard field goal, his longest. Devaney Talk Boivl Bids Nebraska coach Bob Devaney, who takes too kindly about premature bowl discussions, set the record straight when he was quizzed on the subject Saturday. definitely have not received any bowl bids and not even going to dis- cuss them now.

All these guys (bowl scouts) are here to watch, not to invite. not interested in them yet. have too many tough games to Both the Orange and Sugar Bowl were represented in the press box, and both will be at Columbia for the Missouri game next week.

Buffaloes Surprised Crowder: JVf7 Just Great By DON FORSYTHE do anything we expected, just a great football was how Colorado coach Eddie Crowder summed up his reaction to Saturday's 38-13 triumph by Nebraska. The Colorado coach compare the Corn- huskers with any other team i previously unbeaten Buffs had played and even hedged a bit on comparing this edition of the Cornhuskers with the 1964 Big Eight champions.

say it looks like about three touchdowns better and one better than last he quickly appraised. (The 1964 score at Boulder was 21-3). But Crowder was liberal in his praise of the Nebraska personnel, his observation being prompted by a discussion of pass defense. think that their pass defense has improved more than any other part of their game.
