The defensive backfield is a place where experience is supposed to mean just about everything. Last year the Corn- huskers had it with three-year veterans Dana Stephenson, Al Larson and Randy Reeves manning three of the four spots. knew have some good kids back there this says Powers, I even give any thought to how many passes Of the 27 thefts this year 16 have been by the replacements for Reeves, Stephenson and Larson.

Bill Kosch leads both the Cornhuskers and the Big Eight with seven steals, Joe Blahak has five and Dave Morock four. still make some mistakes, but improving with every says Powers. Improving on record seven steals will take some doing, however. Forces Hand Powers points to several factors contributing to the giving Kansas Lynn Dickey his worst day. a team gets that far behind it gets desperate and figures it has to throw the ball.

You just play them for the pass he says. More use of a four-man rush with seven players dropping off the line into zone coverage also played a part in the record. The Cornhuskers put a fifth back, John Decker, in the lineup and removed an end. key to playing a zone defense is knowing where supposed to be and being able to read the says Powers, who was schooled in defensive backfield play during his six-year stint with the Oakland Raiders. Perhaps the most vital role is played by the safety.

And, as his statistics show, Kosch is emerging as an exceptional deep defender. Zone for Dickey safety really has to read the pattern and the says Powers. can be a big help or a zero for The Cornhuskers used both man-to-man and zone coverage Saturday, but some 80 per cent of the time they utilized a zone. The defender has the burden of covering the area and reading the receiver and quarterback in order to get to the right place at the right time. As Kosch noted after the game we had it to do again, we do it Dickey, the Big all-time passing leader, would be the first to agree.

Anybody who puts the ball into the air over 40 times a game, as done on many occasions, is bound to throw some interceptions. But the most had before Saturday was five against Iowa Stae as a sophomore. That game marked his emergence as a quarterback. Although he pitched five to the Cyclones he completed 21 of 40 tosses for 248 yards and the Wildcats had themselves a quarterback. not likely to have a better one for quite a spell.

It was hard to put a tag on the 1970 state college football season which came to an exciting close Saturday night. difficult to remember anything unusual that happen on the gridiron. Eight of the 14 teams finished with winning records, one was at .500 and two more were just a shade under 50-50. Seven clubs scored more than 200 points in eight to 10-game schedules. Concordia players shattered records in numerous departments in putting together the best season among all teams under rookie coach John Seevers.

The Bulldogs went 8-1 to win the NIAC crown and finished second in the Tri-State. Wayne captured the NCC title after blanking Kearney, 24-0. The Wildcats, however, were upset in their finale Saturday at Hiram Scott, 14-7. The Scotts completed the finest campaign in their five-year history at 6-2-1 in the process. Neither junior college team played above .500, however, both met rugged opposition.

McCook won the head-to-head duel between the two, 19-0. Concordia and Kearney each scored 286 points, but the Bulldogs played one less game to top the offense. Wayne allowed the fewest number of points, 81 in nine games. Peru was the easiest to score on, Basketball Former Boston standout Frank Ramsey, 39, has been named coach of the ABA Kentucky Colonels, replacing Gene Rhodes, who was fired last week. Football Mississippi coach John Vaught has been dismissed from a Memphis hospital after two-week treatment for a mild heart attack.

Onialia Knights Sting Amarillo Omaha The Omaha Knights romped to their ninth win of the season and secured their first place status in the Central Hockey League with an 8-3 triumph over Amarfllo Sun- dav night. The 11th and 12th goals of the campaign by Pierre Jarry and two goals by Mike Parizeau paced the attack. Ex-McCook Gridder Missed Ill-Fated Trip Medfield, Mass. Finn, a defensive tackle on Uie Marshall University football team not on the ill-fated flight Saturday night that crashed near Huntington, W. did not make the trip because of an injury to his left knee.

In a call to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert M. Finn, Saturday night the 20-year-old junior said the team physician ruled against bis making the trip. Finn said it was his third near-brush with death.

He said the youth was injured when his car flipped over in an accident several years ago and was riding in a car while attending McCook Junior in Nebraska last June when the driver was killed in an accident. He was captain of the McCook team and was named to the All-America Junior College team before transferring to Marshall. Finn said an opeation for damaged ligaments in the left knee and a recent injury prevented him from making the trip for game. Also missing the flight was Red Dawson, defensive coordinator for three seasons. Dawson skipped the plane ride because of a fear of flying and made the trip by automobile instead.

He was a reserve tight end with the Boston Patriots in 1965. Wes Hickman, a 21-year-old center on the squad, also just missed being aboard. He had been taken off the traveling squad Thursday. His wife, Mickey, told his parents it was the first game away from home Wes had missed. giving up 408 markers in 10 games.

There were a number of games during the season. For instance, Concordia stopped 38-game unbeaten string with a shocking 35-0 triumph, then lost to Yankton, 24-3, whom Doane had beaten, 14-0. Dana stopped Doane, 14-2, Saturday for the first victory over the Tigers in the 11-game series between the two stretching back to 1931.

Concordia has won its last seven straight and Hastings five. Midland and Peru both dropped their last six in a row. There were many individual stars. The Watson brothers, George at Hastings and Rick at Chadron, ranked high nationally in pass receiving. Kearney fullback John Makovicka was the top scorer in the country with 126 points and quarterbacks throwing for more than 1,000 yards was commonplace.

Two kickers drew notice. Kevin Hunt at Doane booted a 52-yard field goal and Greg Cheng a 51- yarder, both school records. Major injuries to key players were rare. However, some teams lost top personnel for short periods. The most unfortunate loss was at Doane where running back Mike Sallier failed to tie Tank career NAIA touchdown mark of 60 by missing the last two games with a leg ailment.

All in all, it was a very productive campaign for the state schools. They did exceptionally well against out-of-state competition and as a reward, at least six teams were getting post-season bowl consideration at one time or another. Final Standings NIAC WonLost Pet.
