After the Iladl-to-McFarland TD was a great pass, a fine catch and run by McFarland, who ripped away from Husker Dick Callahan at the 8 with a crushing block urt springing HadI for the 5:57 left in the quarter, the ornhuskers decided that passes might be in order.

Some fans accosted Jennings as the Husker coach neared the entrance. Jennings veered his course and headed right for his tormentors, who kept right on walking away. Spinning around with a wide grin on his face, Jennings walked back to door, just wanted to see if they had any Bill declared.

Nobody knew what the fans had said and campus police were on hand. in the fieldhouse, Jennings walked among the players with a smile on his face, offering and the way to In his conference with the press he seemed completely relaxed, even though this was the 4th straight loss for the team. Asked if he had any comments on reports that Duffy Daugherty of Michigan State was rumored in the Nebraska picture as athletic director-coach, Jennings said matter-of-factly: even have a on Bill did have plenty to say about the game. is undoubtedly the best football team we have the coach declared. have line quickness to go with Hadl, CIinton and Coleman.

just get your hands on that Hadl. We tried to rush him, we tried to wait for him. He throws the ball hard. That touchdown pass he threw was just like a baseball throw through our secondary. has the ability to run left and then throw to the right.

This is a rare thing. man-in-motion with the back coming back i toward the formation was I something new. Kansas showm it before. have to dig out the rule book to see just what the rules are on clipping. (The KU man-in-motlon was always in position to block the Nebraska end from behind.) 1 know you be called for clipping in a 3- yard area from tackle to tackle.

last touchdown they scored was on a halfback-to-halfback reverse that is the same as the one we use. makes them real tough is Hadl. He has a world of quickness. He makes the option play real tough. We were right on top of him many times but we just reach In regard to play Jennings said it was decided to use two quarterbacks (Ron Meade and Denny Claridge) in the ball game at the same time to give Bill Thornton some rest.

Claridge quick kicked and ran from left halfback with Meade at quarterback. Jennings explained that Nebraska was looking for Hadl to quick kick from the left halfback position. we saw him there with the ball on the Kansas 11, we jumped in and Jennings said. called it our 92 defense because we knew if we block it, he would kick it 92 Hadl quick kicked 94 yards last week against Oklahoma State but his one against Nebraska was partially blocked. we should have passed in the first Jennings continued, we were moving the ball well.

team passed very well into the wind and we have it in the second and third quarters. I think our playing two quarterbacks at once surprised them but it did make them do some extra thinking out there. ran more because he had the opportunity, His quick kick from left halfback was the first time we have done that. quarterback called all the plays in our With that Jennings excused himself and began thinking about next week's trip to Iowa State, the last road game of the year for NU. Bill Jennings this was no chat.

Willie Ross Claims: Defeat Fault, He Had Us Up Cornhuskers, who are over the helmet throwing and head bowing stage after 4 straight defeats, were sober and reflective after their defeat by Kansas. A few of them volunteered NU Search Nears End For Athletic Director The University of search for a new athletic director may be nearing an end. Chancellor Clifford Hardin reported Saturday, Nebraska has been without an athletic director since Apr. I when Bill Orwig left to take a similar post at Indiana, Dr. Hardin, after meeting with University regents, said no formal action has yet been taken but will be doing something before Although there have been speculative rumors that the school might hire a combination athletic director and football coach inasmuch as Coach Bill contract expires in February, there were strong indications that a straight athletic director is sought.

Names mentioned in speculation about the Nebraska vacancy have included Ray Eliot, assistant athletic director at Illinois; Curtice, football coach at Stanford; Virgil Yelkin, athletic director at Omaha University; George Sauer, former coach and director at Navy, Kansas and Baylor, and Paul Amen, former coach at Wake Forest.
