THE BATTALION Stallings Looks Ahead To ‘Awesome’ Cornhuskers By Richard Campbell Battalion Sports Editor “They’re probably licking’ their chops, waiting to get a chance to play us.” Coach Gene Stallings was com menting on the physical size of the Nebraska squad at his week ly press conference Tuesday in the Lettermen’s Lounge in G. Rollie White. He said that the sellout crowd in Lincoln, Neb., Saturday could be compared to the throngs that jammed the Roman Coliseum to see the lions eat the Christians. “Nebraska is big,” Stallings said. “Many of them weigh 240 (pounds) or more.” Actually, the Cornhusker de fensive line is monstrous with readings like 242, 250, 212, 240, and 235. Their defense will prob ably be their strongest point with 10 starters back from a 6-4 unit. Coach Bob Devaney is the win- ningest coach in the nation and has a winning .500 percentage in each of the last seven years. In evaluating the play of the Aggies in the LSU game Stallings said that “LSU was a little better than I had thought they would be, but we also played a little worse than I thought we would.” “Their defense was good, es pecially their linebackexs (George Bevan and Mike Anderson, both all-America candidates),” Stal lings continued. “Our offensive line didn’t block as well as I had expected them to. They put a lot of effort into it but sometimes they just blocked the wrong man and there was some indecision at times.” Several players were singled out by Stallings for fine per formances against the Tigers and he broke them down by positions. In the baekfield, quarterback Jimmy Sheffield received praise and Stallings said both fullback Marc Black and tailback Steve Burks blocked well at times. Re ceivers Jimmy Adams, Billy Joe Polasek, and Barney Harris were also mentioned by Stallings as being “pretty good receivers.” “The offensive line composed of Forey (Leonard), Philley (An dy), Parker (Jim), and Davis (Robin) didn’t block as well as we had expected across the line,” Stallings said, “but they gave good effort.” “Our defense gave up a lot of points,” he continued, “but I think that they are going to be alright. DeNiro (linebacker Mike) did a fine job. He hit people pretty well and was all over the field.” The Odom brothers, Lynn and Van, were also singled out for their play, along with defensive halfbacks Edwin Ebrom and Dave Elmendorf. The team came out of the tra ditionally rough game with only a smattering of injuries. Mike Caswell, Forey, Polasek, Van Odom, and Barney Harris are all out because of certain minor ail ments but will be ready Saturday, Del Insko, with 99 winners dur ing the Yonkers, N. Y., winter and spring harness racing meet, led drivers in money won with $475,922. < mi m FISSIONED PIGGLY WIGGLY we<3i\/£ DOOBte Gd-O STAMPS . iWifrw' , * : t ' > »'- Tropicana Orange Drink«4s$l ' This week you can buy one beautiful dinnerplate for each $3 worth of grocery purchases.
