Ingles' Debut Is Good One; NU Frosh Win By CHUCK SINCLAIR When Guy Ingles was entering his senior year at Nebraska six years ago, the NU press guide touted the 5-9 split end as ranking right with former Husker Mighty-Mites Frank Solich and Larry Wachholtz in ruggedness. That may be the reason why Ingles, in his debut as head freshman coach, had a certain gleam in his.eye while talking about the 34-6 triumph over Kansas JV team at Memorial Stadium Friday afternoon. Of five Nebraska touchdowns, just one of the players scoring towered over the six-foot mark. Glen Lewis, a 6-11-back from Minneapolis, scored from two yards out just five plays after K-State fumbled the opening kick on its own 23-yard line. Lewis gave way to the little guys after that as Plainview's Tim McCrady, a 5-10 wingback, scored once on a 17-yard pass from starting quarterback Brad Humphrey and again on a 14- yard reverse.

Joining McCrady with touchdowns in their first games were 5-11 Dave Bunch on a 14- yard pass from Ricky Hatcher and 5-8 A1 Lubeck on a 19-yard aerial from Jeff Quinn. But with all the scoring, Ingles didn't overlook the play of 5-7 Tim Wurth, the smallest Husker on the field. Wurth, who led Nebraska in rushing yardage with 71 yards in 12 carries, excited the crowd the first time he touched the ball late in the opening quarter. From yard line, Wurth scampered around the left side all the way to seven-yard line before being forced out of bounds by Randy Heath. The effort was nullified by a motion penalty in the Husker backfield, but it keep the Omaha Burke graduate down.

Carrying the ball 10 times, in the last 17 minutes of the first half, Wurth collected 56 yards from his I-back position. He added two carries for 15 yards in the final period for his total, playing less than half the game. think I can play with the big guys said Wurth, who was a scholarship recipient despite his small stature. was a test for me. In scrimmages, you can't really tell how do because the defense might hold back a little so no one gets hurt.

My confidence should be helped Ingles said he believes Wurth may be able to add something to the I-back position in the future, despite his frame. "I believe he has as good a chance as any small player ever seen to make Ingles said. runs well and blocks well. But the thing that impresses me the most is in all our scrimmages, he runs hard all the time, and he get hurt. He's Ingles was quick to add that he was pleased with the play of all his I-backs, fullbacks, wingbacks and quarterbacks.

Links Edge Rockets With 26-25 Victory STAFF PHOTO BY WEB RAY Randy Heath of Kansas State finally pulls down Tim Wurth Friday after the Husker freshman galloped 57 yards from scrimmage. An illegal procedure call, however, brought the ball back and nullified the long gain. got a lot of players, especially at fullback and I-back who are pretty Ingles said. are four or five at some positions who are almost even. quarterback, I know until just before the game that Hatcher would be No.

he added. all the kids did a good Humphrey led the passers with six completions in eight tries for 68 yards while Hatcher completed two of five for 22 yards and Quinn, two of three for 26 yards. All three quarterbacks had touchdown passes to their credit. The only disappointing aspect of the game was some problems with center snaps on punts that allowed K-State two good scoring opportunities. Neither was capitalized on.

What K-State did do was turn a Quinn interception into a score with 11:08 remaining in the game when quarterback Roy Jones hit Mike Carney with a seven yard scoring strike. Nebraska's defense was superb, allowing just 163 yards total offense while the Husker offense piled up 320 yards, 204 on the ground and 116 in the air. have a lot of little things to take care of before we get to tougher teams down the Ingles said overall. I'm happy with the effort I guess I was looking at my first game a little pessimistic, but the kids were thinking positive and did a good job. take the blame for the center problems we had on punts since in charge of the kicking Ingles admitted.

guarantee we'll have that rectified by the UNO game (October 11). a good thing it didn't happen in the first half, or the scoreboard may have looked a lot As Ingles relaxed in the coaches office in Schulte Fieldhouse under the North stands following his first game as Jim successor, he said, "This is where it all started, the old place. "I really do like the freshman he added. gives a young kid a chance to acclimate himself to college ball at a slower pace It worked for Guy Ingles as a freshman back in 1967. It's working for the little guys in 1976.

LHS, 15 32, Roy Carson, THE LINCOLN STAR Sports Saturday, September 25, 1976, 13 By CHUCK SINCLAIR Prep Sports Writer The chant long echoed out the windows, doors and walls of Lincoln High's locker room following the amazing 26-25 comeback thriller over Northeast Friday night at Seacrest Field. The crowd of 6,870 held tight to the seats despite a steady drizzle to witness the end of four long years of suffering defeats to Northeast by a total point spread of 94-14.

The ending was bizarre. The game was bizarre. It was as if defense was nonexistent for both teams until near the end when the Links, after trailing in the ball game four times, drove 79 yards in eight plays to score the go-ahead touchdown for the fourth time. It was then they shut the powerful Rocket offense off, but not without a bit of controversy. After amassing 270 yards on the ground.

Northeast started from its own 32-yard line with 3:21 left in the game. Three plays netted a total of nine yards, the last an eight-yard pass from Doug Berka to Ron Huber who was driven out of bounds just short of the first down While the Rockets were in the huddle, coach Bob Els noticed the clock had not been stopped on the play and summoned the officials to the sideline. While two officials walked over to confer with Els. both teams lined up with the remaining officials in their positions. Berka handed off to Steve Damkroger off right tackle for 14 yards and the first down, but the play was called back since the umpire and the head linesman were still on the sideline.

With the ball returned, Berka again went to Damkroger over the same hole, but Lincoln High's Mike Fallstead led a charge of three Links to stop Damkroger for a three yard loss and give the ball to the Links for the final time. Lincoln High's last score was the most dramatic as Ralph McWilliams intercepted a Berka pass on Lincoln 15-yard line with 6:11 remaining and the Links trailing 25-20. McWilliams returned the ball to the 21 and then turned it over to Dean Carstens, Uduak Udofia and Company. Udofia, who rushed for 137 yards in 20 carries, and Carstens, 55 yards in 15 carries, led the charge down the field, but a pass from Carstens to Alvin Moore proved critical From his own 32, Carstens hit Moore on a crossing pattern and the shifty junior legged it 35 yards to Northeast's 33 It was just a matter of time before Udofia rambled in from six yards out for the go-ahead score. "I've always tried to be honest with Lincoln High first-year coach Larry Frost said.

as much as I wanted to believe it, I wasn't sure I believed we could take it down ijnd score that last time. was just difficult for me to believe that these kids could come back four times in one football he added after two. three or four years of disappointment The ease the two teams moved the ball on offense worried Frost toward the finish. was just glad they didn't get the ball with a lot of time left on the Frost said. just not sure we could have stopped them knew they had the talent," he added really feel offensively, they played a great football game.

I was extremely impressed with their offensive preparation. Although I haven coached against Bob Els before, I've known him for a long time, and I knew they'd be well prepared. felt early in the ball game that we should be able to get them the way we moved the ball, but the son-iof-a-guns just came back time and time again. Frost said Els, disappointed with the outcome that dropped Northeast to 1-3 for the season, praised the play of both teams. Both teams played good, sound football, he said It was a great game for people to Lincoln High, now 3-0-1 after being chosen as the doormat of Capital City teams, will have little time to savor its win with a Friday night clash against Southeast coming up give them a couple of days off."

(Oklahoma State and Kansas havt optn datas) By RANDY YORK Prep Sports Editor Omaha Despite a heavy rain here Friday night, a Creighton Prep football player had the presence of mind to tell a young boy to hang up another zero on the centerfield after Preps 13-0 win over Omaha South. There's no such thing as a no-hitter in football, so No. I ranked Prep is trying its darnest for a season-long shutout.

Adding the victory over the second-ranked Packers achieved before a ram-drenched crowd of 9,000 at UNO Prep has recorded four consecutive shutouts that defense something Prep coach Tom Jaworski said in a rare burst of entfiusiasm as he leaped a fence and sprinted for dry cover in a security office just outside the stadium next to the team bus just very intense," Jaworski said. have a good offensive team and a great defensive team You don't plan on a shutout, but we re not going to throw them away, either South, one of the most explosive teams for the first three weeks of the season, never shook the frustration administered by aggressive defense The Packers managed only eight first downs and 132 total offensive yards But even those statistics don't reflect Prep's almost total domination. South, for instance, trespassed into Prep territory only twice all night The first time came in the third quarter alter the Packers had fallen into a 13-0 hole. South quarterback Tom Miller hit tight end Rick Pesek with a 21-yard pass, which earned to Prep 36-yard-Une. That was South's deepest offensive penetration.

The threat ended almost as quickly as it had started On the next play, Prep tackle Scott Sherrv nailed Miller for a rune- yard then South was called for a clipping penalty and moved back into familiar territory on its side of the field. South ventured into Prep territory only one more time, getting to the 49-yard-lme on a pass two plays before the final gun it was a total team defensive effort, Jaworski said I couldn't help noticing Scott Sherry. He seemed to be all over that darn quarterback all night long. Our whole defense is intense, but I don know who could be more intense than he is Prep was not much better overall offensively than South The Junior Bluejays generated only 191 yards total offense and 10 first downs Rut when opportunity knocked, Prep was there Late in the first quarter. South I-Baek Dorcas Patterson fumbled a pitchout and Prep Phil Everitt recovered on South's 18-yard-line.

Five plays later. Prep was on the scoreboard with quarterback John Sempek hitting tight end Charles Mercer with a eight-yard touchdown pass with 1.04 left in the first quarter. Prep flashed the most offensive muscle of the evening on slippery AstroTurf by taking the opening second-half kickoff and driving 65 yards for a touchdown in 12 plays Slotback Lou Finocohiaro tooled South defense and went six yards around left end on a reverse play for the touchdown Fullback Thurman Cotton, however, earned most of the yardage in tlie drive, carrying seven times for 29 yards and catching an 18-yard pass from Sempek Cotton finished with 110 yards rushing on 34 carries to lead all ball earners South played three and one-half quarters without its top i-back. David Pathn, who injured his ankle on South first offensive series Actually, the score could have been as much as a four- touchdown difference, if Prep had capitalized on fourth- quarter opportunities.

East scored on its next possession, a two-yard keeper by Carmichael to cap a 58-yard drive The Spartans weren totally done, however. East forced Ralston to punt and drove to the Ram 35 before Carmichael tumbled a Slippery center snap and Ralston recovered East had a last-ditch attempt die in the final nunute when Carmichael threw his second interception of the game killing the Spartans hope at Ralston's 36 East will try to break its three- game losing streak at Millard next Friday night Eau Radian Firit Down 8 15 Rumai HO 57 201 Yaras Paivng 0 46 Panel 0-5-2 13 0 Returni Yardi I 22 42 Punii Average 3 39124 Fumble LoU 612 1 Panaittai-Yardi 410 5-50 tail 0 0 7-10 Raillon6 1 6 0-15 Raillon Cnandiar I run oati Raillon Conway 21 ittid goal Rail neater 25 Raillon fcroet 46 pan trom Micnae'ton (Kick fait CarmtdtMHlrgn tuck), Alt. 4,500.
