Mike Fleming has picked up the gauntlet in the mile. asked Coach Frank Sevigne for a chance to take on Bill Dotson in a head-to-head match.

Sevigne has agreed. This could enhance Cornhusker chances of picking up its first league championship since 1951 or it could hurt. Fleming would be an odds-on favorite in the two- mile. In the mile it will be a different situation. One of lies! Dotson has already done a 4:03 naile which is considerably under the record of 4 00.2 by Gail Hodgson of Oklahoma in 1959.

best was a 4.05.7 anchor mile on an NU relay team at the Texas Relays this spring. He also has clocked a 1.500 meters performance which would be close to a 4:02 mile. In taking this calculated risk Sevigne is well aware that every point counts, especially after the heart-breaking loss to KU in the Indoor Championships by ll- 12 ths of a point. has asked to meet Dotson in the mile and I think he has earned that Sevigne said. 4-Minute Mile Goal No Big 8 miler has ever broken 4 minutes in the mile and the 4 best times ever recorded were by Wes Santee.

His all-time best was 4:00.6. Sevigne being quite as frank about his plans for other events. Fleming could double back in the 2- mile, although not as effectively, or he might be entered into the 880-yard run. Sevigne says wait until Saturday to decide on that. Decisive Afternoon for Riiauh While Fleming is having his showdown with Dotson.

Husker Ray Knau also faces a rugged assignment in the sprints. collide with Teddy Woods of Colorado, who he beat twice in the recent dual in Lincoln; Anthony Watson of Oklahoma, who clocked 9.4 in the 100 in a recent dual and outlegged Knaub in a relay carry at the Drake Relays, and Mark Sullivan, defending champion from Oklahoma. Sullivan, incidentally, won in 9.9 last year, a mark that might not even place this year. Penalty Sets lip Red TD Continued from Page ID. Tucker kept the Whites on the ground and marched them to the Red 12.

aided by a personal 12-yard scamper and 11-yard bursts by Young and Mike Koehler. But Doug went to air from that point and fired a perfect 11-varder to Callahan who made a fine snare on the one. fucker kept for the TD with 2:18 left to put the Whites back on top, 13-12. Theisens PAT kick was blocked by Calvin Reehl. Thornton thundered on the subsequent kickoff and supplied one of the most electrifying plays of the day.

Bill took the ball in the end zone, shifted into high when he saw daylight at the 20 and roared 59 yards to the White 41. It took just 4 plays for the Reds to make it 18-13. with Claridge passing 26 yards to Larry Tomlinson for the score as the clock ran out on the 3rd quarter. He flipped to Tomlinson for the PAT, too. The Whites ready to call it quits by a long shot.

Helped by a 4th down gamble at their own 33 Powers got 7 yards and the first down the Whites moved to the Red 47 before Tucker lost 2 on a fumble. On the next play, Theisen broke into the clear and Tucker pitched a perfect strike into the wind. Theisen pulled in the ball and dashed untouched for a 49-yard touchdown. Trailing 20-19, Tucker went for 2 and passed to Larry Donovan to regain the lead once again. A pass interference call on the Whites set up the go-ahead counter.

Willie Ross was streaking down- field when defender Ken Simodynes grabbed his shirt on the White 25 and pass was incomplete. With a first down on the 25, the Reds scored in 7 plays as Claridge got the final 4 yards. His 2-point pass misfired and it was 26-21 with 5:53 left to play. Willie interception of a Tucker flip on the Red 46 set up the clincher. Ron Gilbreath quarterbacked the drive and engineered the slickest play of the march.

Ron kept on a rollout to the White 20, then lateralled i to Paschall who scampered to the 2 for a 31-yard gainer. Two plays later Gilbreath rolled over with 39 seconds left in the game. Kicking specialist Mylie Newkirk booted the final point. All things considered, it was a satisfying climax to a hard spring practice. The Huskers gave the impression be able to score with a varied arsenal next fall.

His troops assistant coaches, players and trainers just closed the first stage of the new regime in University of Nebraska football with an intense, though good-natured battle.

Both sides played furiously to win; the Reds to preserve their top rating and Whites to show that they were just as good. was a good ball Devaney said as he launched into a rather optimistic resume of the spring operation. was surprised the difference in the score was as much as it was. It could have gone either way. One pass interception turned the tide.

Whites got short of men. Usually we play the quarterback at one of the deep spots. When Faiman was hurt it meant Doug Tucker had to take over all of the offense. So we put halfbacks back there and it was new to them. most of these boys are used to a 3 deep defense 4 and we use 4 men Outside of the pass defense In the high jump and broad jump NU went 1-2 with Victor Brooks taking the broad jump at and Wesley Paulsen the high jump at 6 0 TRACK EVENTS I Pat McNeal, KS; 2, John Portee.
