Blank lUUtUllltlUUIUIWMHIUHIIitti September 11, 1960 LINCOLN SUNDAY AND STAR 3D By Don Bryam Snoday Soorti Colmmiift got a couple of cheap touchdowns and that was the difference Darrell Royal was the speaker and the occasion was a locker room interview following 20-0 win over Nebraska at Lincoln last fall. Next Saturday Royal will have his Longhorns primed to take advantage of any Comhusker mistakes that are made at Bill Jennings will be hoping his lets as generous as they were a year ago. Most of the players who saw for both clubs in 1959 are back for the rubber game between the Southwest Conference favorites and the Big 8 darkhorses. Nebraska has 13 veterans on hand who played against Texas, while the Longhorns have 17 men who squared off against the Huskers. Big 3 Back The edge, however, must go to the Texans, whose numbers include Jack Collins, Jimmy Saxton and Bobby Gurwitz.

In case the names ring a bell, it should be pointed out that they accounted for 18 of the 20 points. Departed Bobby Lackey kicked two extra points. lifft halfback Collins went two yards for the first Texas touchdown in the 14-point second quarter. Saxton put the Longhorns out of reach just before the half when he dashed 23 yards to score on a nifty keeper play. Gurwitz took a 13- yard pass from Lackey in the third period for the final Longhorn tally.

Nebraska helped the Texans considerably in the 1959 opener, when you consider the longest distance the.Long­ horns had to travel for a TD was 48 yards. touchdown capped a 11 -play trip that started with an NU fumble on the Husker 48. Saxton tallied on the first play after a Clav White-Torn Kramer collision gave Texas the ball on 23. Gurwitz snare came after a Husker punt fizzled out of bounds on the NU 33. Defense Tough Otherwise defense was sound enough, with the Huskers holding the Longhorns to a 203 yards on the ground and 38 via the air.

You can bet Jennings will tell the 1960 Scarlets ijext Saturday night: work for anything they give away any cheap Jennings has reason to expect more offense from his Huskers this year. Last year NU mounted only one serious threat-aside from a 92-yard TD scamper by Pat Fischer which was gained only 118 yards rushing and and 38 passing. Meanwhile, back at Texas. Royal has only 4 starters from 1959 among his 17 left end Larry Cooper, right tackle Dick Jones and left guard Monte Lee, ho was at right end in 1959. But 7 alternates are still available-left tackle Don Talbert, center Bill Laughlin, right guard Dave Kristvnik, right tackle Ed Patgett, quarterback Mike Gotten, half Bart Shirley and right half Gurwitz.

It is disconcerting to. note that Saxton, now a junior, wa.s a 3rd teamer in 1959. Last vear Texas w'ound up with a 9-2 record, losing only to TCU (14-9) and Syracuse in the Cotton Bowl (23-14). En- route. the Longhorns shutout 3 other opponents besides Nebraska.

Westover is no exception. For the blond-thatched Westover, the climb up coaching ladder has been steady and successful. However, success has not come without hard work. coaching theory evolves around work, work and more work. After his graduation from Wesleyan in 1949, Westover coached 6 years at Bassett High School, then went to Crete for a two-year stint, followed by a year at Washington High of Kansas City Kan.

Westover was lured out of the prep ranlis after his campaign at Lexington High School. Westy has been working hard for his debut as NWU grid coach working hard for the past 10 years as a prep mentor. When Wesleyan beckoned, Westy was ready. He is realizing a dream all coaches want to return to his alma mater as head coach. has been followed by plaudits from NWU alums.
