Lawrence, Kans. Jack Mitchell, who had just belabored one of his former coaches at Oklahoma, made a stern defense of the Nebraska team that his Jayhawkers had flattened. Praising the Huskers as being just a away from being a good said coaching staff is sound. But he echoed Bill Jennings words of earlier in the week, saying: see how they could play at all with ail that turmoil outside coaching staff that outside griping and writing with hardly ever a pat on the back. looked like it was all shook up by that outside To further his kindness to Nebraska, he declared: is by far the best football game for Kansas since been here.

It appeared that end Don Purcell and quarterback Pat Fischer had words and then co- captain Don Fricke talked to Fischer off to the side as the Huskers took time out to get organized after two plays had been smeared for losses. Purcell said that somebody had been talking in the huddle and told him (the player) not to argue in the Then as he got the impact of the question, Purcell said stoutly: no dissention on this team 1 can tell vou Fischer had nothing to say about the incident. His only declaration w'as beat us. 31 points better than we Fricke had nothing to say about it, either.

Northeast upped its record to with the victory over the ponderous Vikings, and host powerful Omaha Central next week. It was the second win of the weekend for a Capital City team in Omaha, and was achieved with much the same dominance that Lincoln High held its 27-7 win over Omaha Benson Friday. The Rockets held North to only 18 yards rushing, and 53 more on two pass completions.
