TACKLE THE MAN WITH THE BALL

For nearly 25 minutes reporters and about 50 fans huddled in 40-degree weather outside the Nebraska dressing room Saturday at Memorial Stadium after the Cornhuskers' 24-13 win over Kansas.
A gray-haired man, sipping hot coffee, opened the door from the outside but could not get in. He identified himself as a representative of the Cotton Bowl.
HOWEVER, before Fields Scovell entered several minutes later, he was asked if Nebraska would go to the Cotton Bowl.
"A fine ball club," he said, referring to the nation's sixth-ranked team which had just won its eighth successive game of the season.
"I haven't come to offer them a bid, it's up to the NCAA. Bids go out the 21st (November). We are considering other teams such as Florida, Georgia Tech, Tennessee and Alabama."
At last, the doorkeeper came out and shouted, "Press only. Press only."
IN THE CORNHUSKER dressing room, there was an uncomfortable silence. The NU coach looked as though he had just suffered through one of his worst days. Actually, Saturday had been a good day for him as NU moved a step closer to its fourth consecutive Big Eight championship. Only Oklahoma and Oklahoma State stand in the way.
Was Devaney satisfied with his team's performance?
"We won the ball game, that's what we came here for. I was dissatisfied with the performance of our reserves. They usually play pretty good football, but they let KU drive the length of the field in the last 25 seconds."
KU SCORED a touchdown with three seconds remaining when Halley Kampschroeder caught a 12-yard pass from half-back Don Shanklin.
The first team had built an 18-0 halftime lead while holding KU to a mere 3 yards in total offense (-14 rushing, +17 passing)
and two first downs.
That futile first half offensive performance angered KU coach Jack Mitchell so much at halftime that he pounded a hole about a foot wide through the dressing room blackboard.
IN THE SECOND half, however, KU dominated play. They outscored NU 13 to 6, outpassed, 100 to 39 yards, and led in first downs, 13 to 11.
"In the second half, they held those guys out, gave our backs time to maneuver, opened good holes and gave us time to throw the ball," Mitchell said.
to Junior Riggins with 1:44 left in the third quarter.
In the dressing room after the game, Wayne Meylan sat in front of his locker, one foot on the floor, the other on the bench as he tied his shoe. The NU middle guard, considered to be a prime candidate for All-America honors, was shaking his head.
Quarterback Bill Fenton, playing for the first time this season, completed five of 10 passes, including a 25-yard scoring pass
"Parts of the second half were the worst we've played all season" he said.
Mitchell generally felt Nebraska had a mediocre day at the 54th Homecoming game.
KU wins third in runmeet
Mike Sheahan finished 23rd for KU and Mike Hayes, suffering from pulled tendons in the foot, finished 43rd. They were not counted in the scoring because they were not among the top five team finishers.

Curtis Grindal, Dave Mansfield, in his first meet this year after recovering from an injury, and Mike Kearns were the other scorers for KU.
Coach Bob Timmons took his cross country team, sans the injured Jim Ryun, to Ames, Iowa.
The injury-riddled Jayhawk harriers finished 8th, 9th, 18th, 20th and 21st. Tom Yergovich was the top KU runner with a time of 14:56. He was followed directly by Mike Petterson who is still recovering from a pulled ham-string muscle suffered at the KU Relays last spring.
Three miles and 76 times later KU finished in back of K-State and Colorado in the 10th annual Big Eight Cross Country Meet.
With 51 points K-State, the defending team champions, took their second in-a-row Big Eight title.
