season Kirkland averaged 48 yards while accumulating 115 Sparks fly when he makes blocking contact In the words of Coach Bob Devaney Ron continues to show progress he can be a very fine back for But there was a time when Kirkland was rooting against the Huskers Welcome Coach Devaney MANY schools were interested in the tall lean youngster who ran with bowl over power for West Bend High This included Miami in lorida then a glam our team with passer George Mira as the ringleader The first of December in 1962 Kirkland flew out of the frigid air of Wisconsin and into the relaxing warmth of

when Coach Devaney visited his home Ron had little trouble deciding which university he would attend With the graduation of Kent McCloughan that de cision could have a vital bearing on fortunes in

HAS ANY ONE heard Senator ulbright of Arkansas express an opinion on the team that takes field against Nebraska today? In 1951 a year in which the Razorbacks struggled through a 5 5 campaign the Senator snorted that college football was on a large scale He deplored widespread and to Bill ulbright had been a halfback at Arkansas in 1921 24 I was he proclaimed played just for Among the opponents in that golden era were Hendrix Drury Ouachita Phillips Southwest Mis souri State and Northeast Oklahoma Teachers This anti subsidy orator is the same gentleman who enthusiastically supports foreign aid and strongly favors 4rade with Communist nations He also slipped in a vote on the Civil Rights Bill Anybody can
