5-9 161 Rav Whitlow 20 Jr. 5-11 205 Fred Farthing 38 Sr. Sr. Jr. By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Minneapolis, will open the football season here Saturday afternoon when it takes on Big Ten rival Minnesota in a 1:30 p.m encounter that will be viewed by an estimated 51.000 in person and several thousand more on the national television.

Televising of the intersectional clash has cut down the anticipated live gate by about 7.000, nearly half of that total represented by braskans who making the journey here this year. Nearly 5,000 Husker fans made the trip north a year ago to watch NU stage a 65-yard fourth quarter pass play from Dennis Garidge to Tony Jeter for a 14-7 triumph. NU ticket manager Jim Pittenger reports only about tickets have been sold by his office for this contest. The Huskers. according to the record books, opened the season last week but the 56-0 conquest of South Dakota was outdone for competitiveness by the final tuneup scrimmage between two Husker squads the previous week.

But this contest here against the defense-minded shapes up as a different story than last waltz. The a is seen by many observers as one of the keys to the Husker success this season. The figuring along that line is that a win over a Big Ten team, even against a team that is supposed to be in the lower division of the conference, would be a big boost for youngsters. A win also would send the defending Big Eight champions Into their initial conference clash against Iowa State next week at Ames with a 2-0 season mark. Iowa State is one of five Big Eight teams being mentioned as title contenders.

In a late-hour strategy move, NU head coach Bob Devaney decided to go with the two-platoon system, a move made only 72 hiurs before the kickoff set for 1:30 p.m. here today. And it until less than 48 hours before kickoff that the NU staff decided which way to plav several of the Husker personnel. Meetings Wednesday night. Thursday morning and Thursday afternoon were required before a li- nal decision was made on some of the players.

But Hastings wasn't admitting a thing and battled all the way to halftime with only that 6-0 deficit against it. After that the Southeast touchdowns came like a Nebraska rainstorm. In order, the Knights hit paydirt this way in that third quarter: Tom Links Throw Lead To Wind; Suffer First Defeat By 14-12 FINAL 40 SECONDS DECIDES KNIGHT FINDS DAYLIGHT through hols in Hastings 3964 gridiron win streak was halted here Friday night by Omaha North, 14-12. The Vikings fought back after Lincoln High had built up a 12-0 lead in the early going.

The deciding blow came with only 40 seconds on the clock when North quarterback John Yates defied a 40-mile-per-hour wind in his face and fired the pigskin 25 yards to Jerry Luedtke for the clincher. It was only the second completion of the night for North and both were for 25 yards into the strong wind. Lincoln High, seeking its third straight victory, hit pay Omaha Lincoln 27-yard line. Five plays later Jim Riggins rambled over from the eight-yard line for the first tally. Lincoln second touchdown came on a 56-yard drive after taking the second half kickoff.

Riggins and the busy Herman Tapp took turns lugging the ball, with Riggins getting the TD on a one-vard plunge which gave the Links a 12-0 margin. Omaha North then started its uphill climb and used only six plays to cover 57 yards for its first touchdown maneuver. Dick Davis, one of the best running backs in a a. ran the final 11 yards. The two teams then took dirt in the first period when turns driving deep into the with 1:44 to play on its own 40-yard line.

when quarterback Yates was forced into the passing situation despite the strong winds and he responded with a pair of 25-yard dandies sandwiched between two fine Davis runs. Leudtke got behind the Lincoln High defenders and snared the final Yates pass which spelled doom for the Links.

But our defense needs some work Familiar Name Of Nannen Appears In Wesleyan Camp Bv TOM HENDERSON Star Sports Writer There will be one name in the Nebraska Wesleyan line-up tonight when the Plainsmen tangle with Dana, which should stick out to Nebraska sports enthusiasts like a Boeing 707 parked on a freeway. That name is Ron Nannen. For several years the name Nannen has been as prominent In Nebraska athletics as the Beatles are in the wig industry.

Syracuse has been the source of the seemingly endless supply of Nannens who have enjoyed so much success at the University of Nebraska in the past, and are now invading the Wesleyan the glee of Plainsman football coach Ray Westover. The first Nannen to appear in Lincoln was Lyle, who was a University of Nebraska basketball standout. Then came Gene, but a bad back curtailed his athletic career. Neil led Syracuse High School to the Class State Basketball championship in 1960, and then went on to play for the Huskers. Now Ron.

23. is brightening the Wesleyan football picture. Ron is a cousin of the other three Nannens. Ron. a three-year letterman in football along with two more in baseball, is counted on to go both ways for the Plainsmen football squad again this year.

He will start at the inside tackle spot on offense, and shift to defensive end if opponents are willing to keep playing with him in the game. Ron wants to teach History when he receives his degree, but not until he tries his hand at pro ball. want to try my luck in commented Ron. coach (Westover) is going to contact brother, Roger, is also attending NWU. competing on the Plainsman basketball team.

Are there anv more Nannens readv to step into the spotlight when Ron and Roger. a junior, are gone? Sure Mike is sharpening his skills back home, readying himself for college athletics. On the subject of the 1964 edition of the Plainsman football squad. Ron observes. the best team played on at Wesleyan, and I think if we get by the Homecoming game, we should win them The Plainsmen meet William Jewell in that game, Oct.

30. Wesleyan passed the first hurdle last Saturday night, when it stopped Midland, 19-13. in a game in which Ron partially blocked a Midland punt, setting up a Plainsman score. Dana poses a less-powerful threat to the Plainsmen. Although Vikings opened the new season with a 21-14 victory over Tarkio, it looks like another long season for co-coaches Paul Petersen and Keith Skogman.

Dana finished the campaign with a 2-6 record. With only 16 lettermen back from last squad, the coaches label 1964 as a rebuilding year for the Vikings. Wesleyan will be after sixth straight victory, over a two-year span tonight. The Plainsmen are expected to take to the air more this year, with Mike Slatinsky and Dave Lebsack running the show, and Dwight Tietjen, Dennis Quick, and Skip Peterson on the receiving end. Bill Rohrig and Dave Newlon will provide speed for ground game.

solid ground attack provided the winning margin last Saturday night, but stout defense should be able to contain it. Ron Anderson, a 6-0. 185-pound junior from Evan. has stepped into the quarterback spot, vacated by Roger Beck who graduated. Anderson provided the home fans with a thrilling 59-yard TD pass to Gerald Quirk, 180-pound end, for first score in the Tarkio came.

They will be running behind a line of Freeman Whit and Tony Jeter at ends, Larry Kramer and Dennis Carlson at tackles, John Dervin and Ron Griesse at guards and Lyle Sittler at center if he is recovered sufficiently from a bout with the flu.

Should Sittler not be ready, Duncan Drum would get the nod at center on the offensive unit. The defensive unit has Larry Wachholtz, Maynard Smidt, Joe McNulty and Ted Vactor in the backfield behind Mike Grace, Mike Kennedy, Walt Barnes, Bernie McGinn. John Strohniy- er. Richard Czap and Chuck Doepke. A third Scarlet and Cream unit is prepared to go both ways.

Devaney says lie has no plans to take deliberate penalties or use time outs to get a new unit in the game. he well enough prepared. 1 hope, so that we can get along for a little while should we get caught with the wrong unit in the the Husker coach pointed out. The new substitution rule will allow the Huskers to get a punter and one other player In when the offense has to punt and two players also will he able to be inserted for running back punts in punt receiving situations. Some coaches this year, who are using two-platoon football, have instructed their teams to take deliberate penalties, thus stopping the clock so that an entire team may be substituted when the hall changes hands.

Devaney has called Minnesota much improved team over the club we beat, 14-7, last and points out, all the crying we hear from up this way, they really lost only players that These two Devaney refers to are tackles Milt Sunde and Carl Eller. The Gophers are led by John Hankinson, a 6-1, 187- pound junior quarterback who missed last season with a broken collarbone. Hankinson is joined in the backfield by sophomore Rav Whitlow at right half and Bill Crockett at left half, giving the Gophers a pair of midgets at the halfback posts. Whitlow weighs only 161 and Crockett is 158. Fred Farthing, a 205- pound converted halfback from Omaha, is the Minnesota starting fullback The Minnesota forward wall is manned by veterans at all spots hut left end where 6-5, 224-pound junior Kent Kramer has moved ahead of letterman Bob Bruggers and right guard where Randy Staten is the best of a group of inexperienced lads.

No lettermen are on hand at the right guard position for coach Murray Warmath. Willie Costanza at left guard, Frank Marchlewski at center and Fred Nord at right tackle have all earned two letters each. Left tackle Don Rosen and right end Aaron Brown are single letter winners. Minnesota is noted for its tough defensive football, a throwback to playing days under Gen. Bob Neyland at Tennessee.

Nebraska has won only seven of 38 games played between the two schools with two ending in ties. The Huskers have never won in two successive years from the Gophers, but a win today would accomplish that feat.
