�THE 1964 INDIAN PROSPECTUS
Dependence on newcomers, team morale and field lead
ership are the three most important factors in Omaha U.'s
football outlook.
"We can make a representative showing if our recruits
fill in and perform as anticipated, if we can find evidence
of some field generalship, if our present morale holds up
and if we can hold together for the first two or three games,"
Coach A1 Caniglia pointed out.
"Right now 1964 is very questionable despite the fact that
we have a fair nucleous of 18 returning lettermen, " he
continued.
"Recruits will have to fill our weak spots caused by
graduation and provide the needed depth which you must
have as the season progresses, " he said.
Caniglia continued: "We should be the type of team which
improves as the season moves along. This should be help
ful, especially in the conference race. "
Another tough schedule awaits the Indian gridders.
"The opposition is really going to be rough, " the veteran
coach noted.
Breaking it down, Caniglia noted that "Overall the backfield is less experienced and probably not as quick as the
past, but our backs are bigger and might be better than
blocking backs in the past. "
Strong spots on the club should be: left half-back with
Gerald Allen returning; Quarterback especially as the
season progresses; End is single strongest position with
three lettermen; Guard with four returnees .
Center is much improved, fullback is the best balanced
position, a nd other positions only fair.
Weak spots include: Offensive tackle and defensive
interior. There are virtually no returnees at these spots .
"Overall, it will be an interesting season, " Caniglia
said.
The 1964 club will be a hustling-type of club because
they "will have to be . "
Prospects could be better than indicated if the new re
cruits come through with good performances .
Regarding CIC play, Caniglia believes Pittsburg will be
stronger and a title contender, Washburn is building but
don't sell Fort Hays and Emporia short in the race.

quarterback Marlin Briscoe.
There are many good receivers like Gerald Allen, Rick Davis, Terrill Edwards,
Jim Jones and Don Crum.
However, the Indians won't depend entirely on the air arm. On the ground 0U has
All-American Gerald Allen at left half, fullback Bill Dodd, Davis at flanker back
and the versatile Briscoe. In addition, 0U has lettermen like Cal McGruder, Lew
Garrison, Joe Benson, Jim Rauch and Tom Wolff to back up the front line backs.
Up front are standouts like Bill Jansen, 255 pound tackle; guards Harlan Aden and
Jerry Ferguson, 220 pounders; center Ken Pelan, 210; and ends Jim Jones, 255; and
Terrill Edwards, 200.
"We think we are pretty well staffed with experience and there is plenty of depth
at mo st positions," Caniglia points out.
"We have some great individuals; If we jell as a team, this could be one of our
greatest seasons" Caniglia continued.
Caniglia believes the Indians could have a fine season if injuries and a tough
schedule don't hew down some fine individuals.
And of course, freshmen recruits must fill in at some trouble spots depthwise,
if the Indians are to roll.
OU's first ten-game schedule in recent seasons ranks as one of the toughest.
"We could have a good club and lose several games," Caniglia said.
Breaking it down position-wise:
Ends—good with lettermen like Terrill Edwards, Jim Jones and Harold Lenz. Loss of
'eterans Mike DiBiase and Jim Norris, who chose not to return, greatly felt. Dibiase
c&ught 19 passes for five TD's last year and Norris was a good outside linebacker.
.
Tackles-good shape with vets like 255 pound Bill Jansen, Dave Rak Ron Stave and
Hutchison. Jansen is greatly improved, should make big difference in offensive
lne.
Rak and Stave defensive veterans.
Guards—Harlan Aden and Jerry Ferguson two of the best in the business.
Center-Ken Pelan, sophomore letterman, has developed and should be adequate.
. Backfield—Strongest position on squad, headed by All-American Allen, Briscoe,
Dodd, and six other lettermen.

�OU FACTS AND HISTORY
The University of Omaha, 56 years an institution of
higher learning, was founded in 1908 as a private, nonsectarian, co-educational school. The University became
municipal in 1931.
The present campus, on the fringe of Omaha wheh the
Administration building was opened in September of 1938,
has grown with the city. In 19^9, the second building
on the campus was opened—the $750,000 Fieldhouse stadium.
The Gene Eppley Library was compelted in 1955- Applied
Arts Building in 1959 and the Student Center Building in
I960. All campus buildings are completely air-conditioned,
making Omaha U. the only such University in the world.
Full educational and athletic programs are offered the
University's 9S000 students, of which U,600 are full time
day students.
The University, fully accredited by the North Central
Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, is composed
of five colleges: Arts and Sciences, Applied Arts and
Sciences, Business Administration, Liberal Arts College of
Teacher Education and College of Adult Education. The
Division of Technical Institute and Graduate Studies plus
a Summer Sessions Program help round out the educational
program.
The University, as a further service to the community,
designs training courses for business and industrial em
ployees; supplies in-service training for teachers; conducts
television classes for University credit on KMTV: and spon
sors a wide variety of conferences, workshops, lectures and
concerts to enrich the academic program.
The University of Omaha has gained an enviable reputation
for the quality and character of its athletic teams and cur
rently is a member of the Central Intercollegiate Conference
(CIC), the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
(NAIA).
National recognition and honors have been received in
all sports and steady progress in intercollegiate athletics
has been evident during the last decade. Full schedules are
sponsored in 8 sports -- football, cross country, basketball,
wrestling, baseball, golf, tennis and track.
Intercollegiate athletics are directed and controlled in
the same manner as all other academic and extracurricular
activities. All athletic policies conform to the basic policy
of the University as determined by the Board of Regents.
The responsibility for the administration of these policies
is delegated to the OU p resident. The Director of Athle ic
and the Faculty Athletic committee actually administer and
advise in the administration of the program. The program
is coordinated with the PE and intra-mural programs.

Group photos of the University of Omaha football team from the 1967 Tomahawk yearbook (pages 106-107). Marlin Briscoe appears in the upper team photo, front row, third from the right. He also appears in photo of the team captains, standing on the right (#27). This is his only appearance in the 1967 yearbook, due to an unfortunate neck injury that kept him from playing. Without Marlin, OU had a dismal season, losing nine out of ten games.

OMAHA U. PREVIEW
THE MAGICIAN IS BACK!
If l ettermen are a key to success, Omaha University head football coach A1 Caniglia
can unlock the door to a winning season.
Caniglia, however, isn't saying anthing. He can't. His smile is too wide for him
to talk. Twenty-eight lettermen, including 16 starters, is enough to make anyone grin.
The Indians last year finished 8-2 and captured their third CIC championship in four
years. Only six starters--four from the offensive unit and two from the defensive
squad--have been lost.
The brightest spot this year is at quarterback. Marlin "The Magician" Briscoe is
back. Pro scouts are drooling over Briscoe. He's hailed as one of the best in the
midwest, including Big Ten and Big Eight signed-callers, and some scouts rank him with
the best in the nation.
OU s witched to a new offense last year--the pro set. Briscoe and his mates took to
it like kids take to Santa Claus. The Magician was fourth in the nation in total offense
with 2,181 yards--passing for 1, 668 and rushing for 513.
But not to be overlooked is the fact that the Indians' attack was well-balanced. OU's
air game netted 1, 729 yards and its ground attack picked up 1, 986 yards.
Little All-American Gerald Allen is the only back who graduated. It's hard to lose
a back who set a school season rushing record (815 yards) last year. But Caniglia feels
he has an able replacement in Rick Davis, a 5-7, 180-pounder, who was the starting
flanker last year.
Ron Sayers, whose brothers, Roger and Gale, are with the Chicago Bears, is also
expected to see action at the running back slot. Sayers was a starting defensive back
last year.
The fullback spot will again be handled by Bill Dodd. A powerful runner, the 6-0,
225-pounder also stood out as a blocking back last year.
The offensive line is the only portion of the squad that needs shoring up. The entire
right side was wiped out by graduation. Caniglia indicated during spring practice that
he will rob the defensive line to fill the offensive gaps. Soph Carl Goodman (6-3, 255)
has been moved from defensive end to offensive guard.
Other changes are senior Bill Jansen (6-1, 258) from defensive tackle to offensive
tackle and senior linebacker Terry Edwards, who will see double duty as a tight end.
Spearheading the defensive unit will be three-year lettermen Larry Von Tersch
(middle linebacker) and Dave Rak (tackle).
OU finished No. 12 among the nation's NAIA colleges, dropping from sixth place the
final week of the season following a 36-30 loss to Drake. This year the Indians have No. 1
potential behind the finest quarterback around.

RUNDOWN ON PROSPECTIVE FIRST UNITS
OFFENSE
QUARTERBACK
Marlin (The Magician) Briscoe. Senior, 5-10, 178. (Pictured on cover)
Spot never more solid in school's history. Briscoe was fourth in total
offense on NCAA college division charts last year with 2, 181 yards
(1, 668 passing, 513 rushing) and was second in NAIA. Set three school
marks last year; passing, total offense and touchdown passes (18). Was
all-conference sophomore and junior years. A great scrambler. Pro
scouts agree he could play at any university. A genuine All-America
candidate.
RUNNING BACK
Loss of Little All-American Gerald Allen definitely hurts. Junior Rick
Davis, 5-7, 180, appears to have inherited the job. Davis transfered
from Kansas University his freshman year and was used as the starting
flanker last year. One of the most promising runners in recent years;
has good speed and moves. More than adequate replacement for Allen.
FULLBACK
Bill Dodd. Senior, 6-0, 225. No weakness here. Dodd can use power to
go up the middle or speed to sweep the ends. Transfered from Wyoming
as sophomore. A tremendous blocker. With gear, runs 40-yard dash in
4.7 seconds.
FLANKERBACK
Will be either Sophomore Lloyd Williams, 5-10, 155, or Junior Dennis
Ondilla, 5-11, 188. Williams had the edge in spring drills, however
shoulder separation curtailed activities before spring game. Ondilla
suffered leg injury in spring game so both have to mend. Both are
lettermen with Williams a converted halfback.
SPLIT END
TIGHT END
Bill Haas. Junior, 6-3, 201. Was converted from quarterback to end
after season started last year and contributed some fine catches. Should
have excellent season this year. Has excellent hands. Not fast but has
ability to get open.
Terry Edwards. Senior, 6-0, 202. Lacking offense experience.
Played defense as linebacker for three years. Switch necessary after
graduation of Jimmy Jones. Not a player to be taken lightly. Has speed
and desire necessary for position.
RIGHT TACKLE
Bill Jansen. Senior, 6-1, 260. Two-year letterman, Jansen is another
defensive stand-out who is being switched to offense. All-conference as
defensive tackle and more is expected of him on offense. A great blocker
and leader.

�OMAHA U. PREVIEW
THE MAGICIAN IS BACK!
If l ettermen are a key to success, Omaha University head football coach A1 Caniglia
can unlock the door to a winning season.
Caniglia, however, isn't saying anthing. He can't. His smile is too wide for him
to talk. Twenty-eight lettermen, including 16 starters, is enough to make anyone grin.
The Indians last year finished 8-2 and captured their third CIC championship in four
years. Only six starters--four from the offensive unit and two from the defensive
squad--have been lost.
The brightest spot this year is at quarterback. Marlin "The Magician" Briscoe is
back. Pro scouts are drooling over Briscoe. He's hailed as one of the best in the
midwest, including Big Ten and Big Eight signed-callers, and some scouts rank him with
the best in the nation.
OU s witched to a new offense last year--the pro set. Briscoe and his mates took to
it like kids take to Santa Claus. The Magician was fourth in the nation in total offense
with 2,181 yards--passing for 1, 668 and rushing for 513.
But not to be overlooked is the fact that the Indians' attack was well-balanced. OU's
air game netted 1, 729 yards and its ground attack picked up 1, 986 yards.
Little All-American Gerald Allen is the only back who graduated. It's hard to lose
a back who set a school season rushing record (815 yards) last year. But Caniglia feels
he has an able replacement in Rick Davis, a 5-7, 180-pounder, who was the starting
flanker last year.
Ron Sayers, whose brothers, Roger and Gale, are with the Chicago Bears, is also
expected to see action at the running back slot. Sayers was a starting defensive back
last year.
The fullback spot will again be handled by Bill Dodd. A powerful runner, the 6-0,
225-pounder also stood out as a blocking back last year.
The offensive line is the only portion of the squad that needs shoring up. The entire
right side was wiped out by graduation. Caniglia indicated during spring practice that
he will rob the defensive line to fill the offensive gaps. Soph Carl Goodman (6-3, 255)
has been moved from defensive end to offensive guard.
Other changes are senior Bill Jansen (6-1, 258) from defensive tackle to offensive
tackle and senior linebacker Terry Edwards, who will see double duty as a tight end.
Spearheading the defensive unit will be three-year lettermen Larry Von Tersch
(middle linebacker) and Dave Rak (tackle).
OU finished No. 12 among the nation's NAIA colleges, dropping from sixth place the
final week of the season following a 36-30 loss to Drake. This year the Indians have No. 1
potential behind the finest quarterback around.
�HEAD FOOTBALL COACH. .AL CANIGLIA
A1 Caniglia, on the strength of an 8-2 season last year, is now the most successful
football coach, percentage-wise, in Omaha University history. The 45-year-old Omaha
native has compiled a 35-19-2 record through six seasons for a .625 average.
Caniglia served two years as an assistant before taking the top job in 1960. His
inaugural season ended 1-7-1, followed by 6-3, 8-1-1, 7-2, 5-4 and 8-2 campaigns. A1
was selected "Coach of the Year" by the Knute Rockne Club of Kansas City in 1961
following his 6-3 season.
A1 and his staff have become great developers of talent. They recognize the underated
player and have spent considerable time with kids who were not considered top college
material in high school.
The results are evident. Senior Dave Rak, for instance, played only his last year
in high school. Guided by the Caniglia method, Rak became a starter as a freshman
and last year was an all-conference tackle.
Caniglia is also aware of the constant changes in the game. Although his old system
was producing, he overhauled the offense last year, changing it to a pro-type attack.
The Indians proceeded to shatter almost every shcool offensive record in the book.
It's almost magical the way Caniglia takes doubtful talent, weaves it with veterans,
and comes up with winners. His teams have won the CIC title three of the past four years.
For this reason, he's been dubbed the "Italian Leprechaun".
ASSISTANT COACH. .DON WATCHORN
Don Watchorn, now in his eight year at OU, was named top assistant in 1959. The
40-year-old line coach earned his BA from Midland College in 1946 and his MA from OU
in 1961. Watchorn is also the assistant track coach.
ASSISTANT COACH. .KEN FISCHER
Ken Fischer, 39, is beginning his seventh year at OU. The defensive coach was
graduated from Nebraska University in 1950 and received his MA from OU in 1962. His
brother is Pat Fischer, all-pro defensive back for the St. Louis Cardinals. Ken is also
the golf coach.
ASSISTANT COACH. .DON BENNING
Don Benning, 30, a former University of Omaha football and wrestling standout, was
named assistant coach in 1963. He is head wrestling coach and has built the Indian mat
squad into a serious, dedicated team. Benning received both his BA and MA from OU.
ASSISTANT COACH. .CARL MEYERS
Carl Meyers is one of the busiest coaches on the OU s taff. Besides his football
duties, he is the basketball and baseball assistant. Meyers was graduated in 1964 from
OU after starring at quarterback for three years.
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR. .VIRGIL YELKIN
Virg Yelkin begins his 21st year as athletic director and baseball coach this fall.
He came to OU in 1946 and has since compiled one of the most envious baseball coaching
records in the nation. His teams have gone to the NAIA National tourney five times in the
past eight years and his overall record is 261-81-3. Virg was named to the NAIA Hall of
Fame in 1965 and NAIA Coach of the Year in 1962. He received his BA from Nebraska U.
in 1936 and his MA from Omaha U. in 1954.

McKillip has installed a new, pro -type offense as he seeks to lift the Big Sky Conference
Bengals. He has 23 returning lettermen, with most of the strength in the line. Tackle
Gary Wedemeyer, guard Milt Pickford and center Bob Upshaw head this group. Upshaw
returns after sitting out the 1965 season. Thirteen junior college transfers, mixing
with the returning vets, make the Bengals more potent than in 1965. Newcomers
include Mike (Go-Go) Acker, who shattered all-time rushing records the past two years
at top-ranked Fullerton (Cal) J. C. with 1, 552 yards in two years. Also on hand is

Sports Information Director: A. W. Buckingham
The North Central Conference representatives have plenty of experience returning.
Twenty lettermen are back and only seven were lost. A newcomer, fullback Dan Gipple,
may push seniors Herb Nimmo and Steve Ohl for a starting berth. The Maroons should
be sound defensively if young linebackers come through. The offensive line could be
the main problem. However, some good prospects appear to be among the younger
players. The backs are experienced and well -balanced.

Bradley Coach Billy Stone has a glaring hole this year. He has to come up with a
replacement for quarterback Bob C aress, who in his four year career finished fifth,
sixth, second and first among the nation's passers. The Braves, however, have 20
lettermen back, including the top three rushers, halfback Jerry Cizek, fullback Rollie
Inskeep and halfback Jim Terrey. Senior Billy Albritton or sophomore Dana Rosendall
will be fighting for the signal-calling job. The ends will be anchored by Hal Montville,
who caught 58 passes for 716 yards and led the Braves in scoring with 60 points.

1965 Record: 3-6
Sports Information Director: Richard Carr
Coach Carnie Smith was rebuilding last year--and finished on the minus side of the
ledger with a 3-6 mark. Carnie is solid this year. He has 27 returning lettermen,
including two All-CIC tackles, Steve Eagan and John Peterson. All-Conference fullback
Gaylen McCubbin is also returning after sitting out last year. The Gorilla offense
should be stronger than last year with increased use of the "I" and winged T formations.
Junior Tom Gorman appears to have the quarterback spot. Gorman passes well and is
a scrambler. Halfbacks Vertie Tomlin, Fred Held and Jerry Hudson, plus McCubbin
could give the Gorillas one of the best backfields in recent years.
The schedule: Sept. 17--at Central Missouri State; Sept. 24--University of Missouri

1965 Record; 3-6-1
Sports Information Director: Bill Southard
Declaring himself "fed up with those scoring contests we had last year, " coach
B. B. Lees set out in spring practice to shape a defensive team for the 1966 season.
Observers think he succeeded. Lees has 21 returning lettermen, including halfback
vet John Whiteside and Mike Leigon. Sophomores provide that position with the most
depth in seven years. Benjy Dial, one of the nation's passing leaders last year, has
graduated. Dean Bates, who won honorable mention All-America honors as a sophomore
defensive back, will take over signal-calling chores. The offensive line, bolstered by
Doug Martin and Amado Salinas, will have more height and better speed. The same
is largely true in the defensive line. Ends should offer no problem.
The schedule: Sept. 17--Sul Ross State; Oct. l--at Central Oklahoma State; Oct. 8-at New Mexico-Western University; Oct. 15--Colorado State; Oct. 22--at Omaha Univ

Athletic Director: Michael Sarkesian
1965 Record: 2-6-1
Sports Information Director: Larry McCourt
Last year's game with Omaha University seemed to be the turning point for Coach
Ed Linta's Ichabods. The Indians, heavily favored, were hard-pressed to pull out a
19-10 victory. Washburn then won its remaining two games. Twenty-three lettermen
are returning, including ten sophomores, so it's evident the Ichabods are a young team.
Much is expected of the sophs this year as they proved the latter part of last season
they could handle stiff competition. Veteran linemen include Roger Tiesing, Mike
Sipotz, Chuck Coppola, Tom Copeland and Rich Gilkerson. The defense is expected to
be strong, but thin in the front line. Trying for the quarterback spot will be senior
Jack Wellman, with sophomore Dean Ferrell offering competition.
The schedule: Sept. 10--at Emporia State; Sept. 17--Kearney State; Sept. 24-at Central Missouri State; Oct. 1

"It has been a number of years since the football outlook has been so bright, " says
Coach Keith Caywood. "The 1966 season could be one of the best for the Hornets in
quite a few seasons. " Sporting 16 returning lettermen, two lettermen tackles who did
not see action last season because of injuries, and several transfers, the Hornets appear
stronger, faster and more experience. Caywood said after spring practice that strength,
speed and all-around aggressiveness has made a definite improvement within the squad.

Enrollment: 5,250
Colors: Black and Gold
Nickname: Tigers
Head Coach: Wayne J. McConnell
Athletic Director: Cade Suran
1965 Record: 6-3
Sports Information Director: Bob Lowen
The CIC championship could be on the line when Fort Hays and Omaha University
collide. The Tigers have 23 lettermen returning from last year's team, which dropped
a 26-21 decision to the Indians, giving OU th e conference crown. Coach Wayne McConnell
can count on experienced gridders in every position. Bolstering the offense is quarter
back Bob Johnson, who was second in conference rushing with 810 yards. Johnson passed
for 568 yards and led the conference in scoring with 85 points. Rich Dreiling, who averaged
4.8 yards per carry from his fullback position, will probably be moved to halfback.
Taking over the fullback slot will be Texas Western transfer Jim Jones, a 230-pounder.
The Tigers can count on both seven offensive and seven defensive returnees. "This
year's prospects are better than average and may even be considered bright, " says

The schedule: Sept. 17--Southwestern Olkahoma State; Sept. 24--at Kearney State;

DRAKE UNIVERSITY
November 19
Rosenblatt Stadium
Omaha, Nebr
7:30 p.m.
Location: Des Moines, la.
Enrollment: 4,900
Colors: White and Blue
Nickname: Bulldogs
Head Coach: Jack Wallace
Athletic Director: Jack McClelland
1965 Record: 6-4
Sports Information Director: Paul Morrison
Drake will be one of the most improved clubs on the Indians' schedule. Coach Jack
Wallace has 22 returning lettermen (eight backs, 14 linemen), plus several transfers.
One is Bert Fortuna, a transfer from Nebraska, who is expected to push three-year
starter Ron Royer for the quarterback spot. Fullback Ray Brown has been lost, but
Wallace expects to make up the deficit by passing more. Both Fortuna and Royer are
rated even in this department. The Bulldogs' scoring attack will again be sparked by
the toe of Manley Sarnowsky, who booted 26 of 26 extra points and added four field
goals last year. Wallace will have better backfield and defensive speed than a year ago.
The Drake-Omaha U. series has fast developed into a crowd-pleaser. It's an excellent
game with which to end the season.
The schedule: Sept. 17--Northwest Missouri State; Sept. 24--at State College of
Iowa; Oct. 1 -- outhern Illinois; Oct. 8--Wichita State; Oct. 15--at Louisville University;
S
Oct. 22--Western Kentucky State; Oct. 29--North Texas State; Nov. 5--at Quantico
Marines; Nov. 12--South Dakota University; Nov. 19--at Omaha University.
�RUNDOWN ON PROSPECTIVE FIRST UNITS
OFFENSE
QUARTERBACK
Marlin (The Magician) Briscoe. Senior, 5-10, 178. (Pictured on cover)
Spot never more solid in school's history. Briscoe was fourth in total
offense on NCAA college division charts last year with 2, 181 yards
(1, 668 passing, 513 rushing) and was second in NAIA. Set three school
marks last year; passing, total offense and touchdown passes (18). Was
all-conference sophomore and junior years. A great scrambler. Pro
scouts agree he could play at any university. A genuine All-America
candidate.
RUNNING BACK
Loss of Little All-American Gerald Allen definitely hurts. Junior Rick
Davis, 5-7, 180, appears to have inherited the job. Davis transfered
from Kansas University his freshman year and was used as the starting
flanker last year. One of the most promising runners in recent years;
has good speed and moves. More than adequate replacement for Allen.
FULLBACK
Bill Dodd. Senior, 6-0, 225. No weakness here. Dodd can use power to
go up the middle or speed to sweep the ends. Transfered from Wyoming
as sophomore. A tremendous blocker. With gear, runs 40-yard dash in
4.7 seconds.
FLANKERBACK
Will be either Sophomore Lloyd Williams, 5-10, 155, or Junior Dennis
Ondilla, 5-11, 188. Williams had the edge in spring drills, however
shoulder separation curtailed activities before spring game. Ondilla
suffered leg injury in spring game so both have to mend. Both are
lettermen with Williams a converted halfback.
SPLIT END
TIGHT END
Bill Haas. Junior, 6-3, 201. Was converted from quarterback to end
after season started last year and contributed some fine catches. Should
have excellent season this year. Has excellent hands. Not fast but has
ability to get open.
Terry Edwards. Senior, 6-0, 202. Lacking offense experience.
Played defense as linebacker for three years. Switch necessary after
graduation of Jimmy Jones. Not a player to be taken lightly. Has speed
and desire necessary for position.
RIGHT TACKLE
Bill Jansen. Senior, 6-1, 260. Two-year letterman, Jansen is another
defensive stand-out who is being switched to offense. All-conference as
defensive tackle and more is expected of him on offense. A great blocker
and leader.
�OFFENSE (Continued)
LEFT TACKLE
Dave RaJc. Senior, 6-2, 210. A three-year regular and definitely no
weaknesses. All-conference last year. Has earned respect of every
opposing coach with great style of play. Reads plays well on defense and
carries out offensive assignments almost perfectly. Instills hustle in
team. One who does his job so well that he is almost overlooked by
spectators. Ranks high among linemen in-school's history.
RIGHT GUARD
Carl Goodman. Sophomore, 6-3, 260. Was starting defensive end last
year. Is being switched to offense where speed can be utilized for pulling
guard spot. Extremely fast for big man and likes to hit.
LEFT GUARD
Bernie Kanger. Sophomore, 6-1, 180. Probably toughest lineman, pound
for pound. Used extensively last year and proved that he can handle the
big men. Has everything but size. Makes up for it with fierce deter
mination.
CENTER
Ken Pelan. Junior, 5-10, 204. Pleasant disposition off the field but is
transformed into a wildcat when the chips are down. Not big but solid in
every department. A great downfield blocker. Set up quite a few touch downs last year with almost impossible, last-second blocks.
DEFENSE
LEFT CORNERBACK
Ron Sayers. Sophomore, 6-1, 198. Started on defense as freshman.
Had heart condition as child and was unable to participate in sports until
senior year in high school. Was used strictly on defense as prepster.
Has good size and speed and is aggressive tackier. Exhibited running
skill in spring drills and could fit into running back slot in future. Is
younger brother of former Omaha U. sprint and football great Roger
Sayers and Gale Sayers, both of whom are now with Chicago Bears.
LEFT SAFETY
Harold Lenz. Junior, 6-2, 180. Two-year regular but will miss benefit
of spring practice. Is shortstop and one of leading hitters on baseball
team. Fast, good hands.
RIGHT SAFETY
Lew Garrison. Junior, 5-10, 152. Nicknamed "The Flea" because of
size. Also missed spring practive due to baseball duties. Two-year
letterman and is Briscoe's understudy at quarterback. Not many runners
fast enough to get past him.
RIGHT CORNERBACK
Buddy Belitz. Junior, 6-0, 196. Moved from linebacker to cornerback
to strenghthen defensive secondary. Covers pass receivers well and is
a vicious tackier. Will see action on offensive unit at end.
LEFT LINEBACKER
Dom Polifrone. Sophomore, 5-10, 192. Squad member last year but has
blossomed into great defensive player in spring drills. Could be the find
of the year. Naturallv is lacking experience.
�DEFENSE (Continued)
RIGHT LINEBACKER
Terry Edwards. Senior, 6-0, 202. Although slated for offensive duty as
tight end, this spot is home for Edwards. Will be two-way performer.
Three -year vet and one of the best.
MIDDLE LINEBACKER
Larry Von Tersch. Senior, 5-9, 211. Unanimous all-conference choice.
Von Tersch is the key to the defense. He's defensive captain and three year vet. Leading tackier past two seasons. Not enough can be said about
this fine competitor.
LEFT END
RIGHT END
Jim Norris. Junior, 6-2, 230. Letterman who sat out last year. Played
linebacker but picked up some weight and has been moved to the line.
Suffered broken ribs during spring drills and missed the last half of practice.
Performance, however, indicated he definitely will be an asset.
Dan Klepper. Sophomore, 6-3, 210. One in a crop of outstanding freshmen
linemen last year. Agile, fast and likes contact. Good size and still growing.
Proved as freshman he could play college badl. Missed large share of spring
practice due to baseball.
LEFT TACKLE
Ed Jackson. Sophomore, 5-11, 235. Strongest man on team; can bench press
390 pounds. A starter last year and voted outstanding freshman lineman by
teammates.
RIGHT TACKLE
Tom Hutchinson. Junior, 5-9, 218. "Spanky" does job despite lack of
height. Two-year letterman. One of most colorful players on squad;
leadership shows through personality.
THREE EX-INDIANS ARE PROS
Three players who performed for Coach A1 C aniglia last year have signed professional
contracts.
Little All-American halfback Gerald Allen signed with the Baltimore Colts of the NFL
and all-conference end Jimmy Jones went with the AFL's New York Jets. Defensive back
Cal McGruder, another all-conference selection, journeyed north as he was signed by
Toronto of the Canadian League.
As six starting seniors were lost, this means that 50 per cent turned pro--a tribute
to the coaching abilities of Caniglia and his staff.
The other three lost were all-conference choices, too. They included Little AllAmerica guard Harlan Aden, tackle Ron Stave and defensive back Don Crum.
The OU coaching staff would like to pay special tribute to those six players. They
were extremely talented. It will be difficult to replace them.

�OU FACTS AND HISTORY
The University of Omaha, 57 years an institution of higher learning, was founded
in 1908 as a private, nonsectarian, co-educational school. The University became
municipal in 1931.
The present campus, on the fringe of Omaha when the Administration building was
opened in September of 1938, has grown with the city. In 1949, the second building
on the campus was opened--the $750,000 Fieldhouse stadium.
The Gene Eppley Library was completed in 1955, Applied Arts Building in 1959
and the Student Center Building in 1960. All campus buildings are completely airconditioned .
Full educational and athletic programs are offered the University's 9, 000 students,
of which 4, 600 are full time day students.
The University, fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools, is composed of five colleges: College of Liberal Arts and Sciences;
College of Engineering and Technology, College of Education, Graduate College and
College of Continuing Studies. The Division of Technical Institute and Graduate
Studies plus a Summer Sessions Program help round out the educational program.
The University, as a further service to the community, designs training courses
for business and industrial employees; supplies in-service training for teachers;
conducts television classes for University credit on KMTV: and sponsors a wide variety
of conferences, workshops, lectures and concerts to enrich the academic program.
The University of Omaha has gained an enviable reputation for the quality and
character of its athletic teams and currently is a member of the Central Intercollegiate
Conference (CIC), the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
National recognition and honors have been received in all sports and steady progress
in intercollegiate athletics has been evident during the last decade. Full schedules are
sponsored in 8 sports -- football, cross country, basketball, wrestling, baseball, golf,
tennis and track.
Intercollegiate athletics are directed and controlled in the same manner as all other
academic and extracurricular activities. All athletic policies conform to the basic policy
of the University as determined by the Board of Regents. The responsibility for the
administration of these policies is delegated to the OU president. The Director of Athletics
and the Faculty Athletic committee actually administer and advise in the administration
of the program. The program is coordinated with the PE and intra-mural programs.

CINCINNATI PRODUCTS BOLSTER INDIANS
Although Omaha University has felt the influx of New Jersey athletes the past few
years, another area has also started sending representatives.
Five returning lettermen are from Cincinnati, Ohio. The caliber of Cincinnati
imports is apparent as four are considered starters. The fifth may be boosted into a
starting position before the season opens.
The Cincinnati products are senior Bill Jansen, tackle; junior Tom Hutchinson,
tackle; sophomore Ed Jackson, tackle; sophomore Lloyd Williams, flanker; and soph
omore Richard Schuckman, guard.
The Omaha area, however, still is Coach Caniglia's main area of recruiting.
Twenty-three of 39 returning squadmen, or 61 per cent, are from the Omaha area.
New Jersey and New York each have three representatives; Wyoming, Missouri,
Illinois and out-state Nebraska each have one.

Media guide for the 1966 football season, Marlin Briscoe's senior year, featuring artwork of Marlin Briscoe on the cover. Briscoe is mentioned repeatedly throughout the guide, including the veterans roster, depth chart, statistics, All-CIC players, "Rundown on prospective first units: offense," and especially "Omaha U. Preview: The Magician is Back!" The tone of the prospectus is blindingly optimistic. Alas, this would be the year Briscoe sustained a neck injury that put him out for the season.

1966 SEASON IN REVIEW
1. IDAHO STATE THRASHES INDIANS, 28-20
Pocatello, Idaho — Idaho State quarterback Bill Ingram completed
15 of 24 passes for 263 yards and directed a strong ground game as the
Bengals ruined OU's season opener with a 28-20 triumph.
The host team scored with one minute left in the first half as Bob
Odom took a 27-yard scoring pass from Ingram to put the Bengals ahead
at 14-6 and they never lost that margin in the second half.
Fullback Otha Roberts had scored the first touchdown of the game
in the opening quarter on a two-yard plunge to put ISU ahead. However,
OU came within 7-6 in the second quarter when Briscoe hit flanker Lloyd
Williams with a two-yard touchdown pass on fourth and two after line
bucks netted nothing.
The Indians came within 14-12 in the third quarter when Terry
Edwards took a 25-yard scoring bomb from Briscoe. But, the Bengals
struck back with fury for two touchdowns to ice the game.
Speedy Mike Acker scored from the one after a 56-yard march and
Jim VanOrman bucked in from the one minutes later to seal the fate
of the Indians. Omaha scored with 16 seconds left in the game when
Greg Kavan rolled over from the three.

2. STUNNED INDIANS LOSE TO SCOTT, 13-7
Omaha, Nebr. — Stunned by the pre-game announcement that quar
terback Marlin Briscoe would be lost for the season with a cracked vertebrae
in his neck, Omaha U suffered a humiliating 13-7 loss to first-year school
Hiram Scott College. A crowd of 4,100 saw the Scotties, who had been
thrown in the schedule hastily to fill an open date, outplay the demoralized
Indians.
OU head coach Al Caniglia at first tried sore-armed Lew Garrison, then
split end Bill Haas at quarterback, but neither could get a sluggish Omaha
offense to move inside the enemy 35.
The Scotties opened scoring in the waning moments of the first
quarter when quarterback Ken Kinsey found end Rick Myslenski with a
24-yard scoring toss. Bob Lee's PAT made it 7-0.
The visitors added insult to injury in the third quarter by scoring again
to take a 13-0 lead. The swift Lee returned a Harold Lenz punt 48 yards
down the east sidelines for the second Scotty touchdown of the afternoon.

An account of the resource
The player thumbnail of Marlin Briscoe from the 1967 OU football media guide reads as follows, "Omaha's top Little All-America candidate. He's already made the CIC All-Star team in '64 and *65 before missing last season with a neck injury suffered just before the first game. The little scrambler holds ten Omaha offensive records and was NAIA's 3rd leading passer and 4th in total offense in 1965. His 2,181 yards in total offense was record. There is very little he can't do and pro scouts are sizing him up as a possible defensive back. He returned interception 80 yards for score against Eastern New Mexico in '65. Is going into third season as Omaha starting quarterback. Secondary education major. Was All-City and Shrine Bowl selection as a halfback-quarterback in 1962 at Omaha South. A fine prep cage star, he was named the MVP in the 1962 Omaha Prep Summer Classic basketball game. Lettered in basketball at Omaha in 1963." Briscoe is pictured on the left.

OMAHA ASSISTANTS
CARL MEYERS
Carl Meyers, 26, takes over as the third
assistant after the resignation this past spring
of Ken Fischer, who moves on to Hiram Scott
College.
The former Creighton Prep football star
earned AII-CIC honors in 1962 and 1963 as he
quarterbacked Omaha U to consecutive CIC
titles and a sparkling 21-6-1 record in the three
years he called the shots for Al Caniglia after
transferring from Wyoming.
Meyers was an outstanding prep quarter
back and was named the Outstanding Player
in the Nebraska Shrine High School Game in
1959. His laurels at Creighton Prep included
All-City, All-State and scholastic Ail-American
honors.
The Omaha native handles offensive backs and will be responsible
for keeping the OU pro-set offense in gear.
The 26-year old father of four also has handled the assistant's duties
in basketball and baseball in addition to his instructor's duties in Men's
Physical Education.
REDS WHIP WHITES, 31-19
Omaha—Veteran Marlin Briscoe led the favored Reds past the Whites,
31-19, in the annual Spring Football Game on May 9th at Westside High
Stadium.
A crowd of 1,022 turned out in balmy weather under the lights to
see Briscoe duel rookie Gary Peters of the Whites. The 26-year old Peters,
a marine veteran, completed 19 of 32 passes for 163 yards and two
touchdowns while leading the underdogs to a 13-13 halftime tie with the
Reds. Cincinnati U. transfer Tom McKernan caught both scoring tosses.
But in the second half, guard Bernie Kanger returned an interception
32 yards for a touchdown, Briscoe tallied from the three after a 56-yard
march and then threw a 49-yard scoring aerial to Stan Standifer to put the
game out of reach.
The scoring climax came on the last play of the game when soph
guard Roy Washington, an outstanding wrestler, stole the ball on a handoff from Peters and sprinted 76 yards for a score.
The game netted over 600 dollars for the athletic grant-in-aid fund.
It was a special promotion by OUPAC, the department's promotion unit
headed by Francis Hurst of the Psychology Dept.

INDIAN OUTLOOK FOR '67
A BIG YEAR AHEAD
by Mike Moran, Sports Publicity Director
Omaha University's football team will be facing its biggest year in
history under great pressure. The school has joined a wonderful new
league called the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. That factor may
have a lot to do with squad morale, because this stepped-up loop will mean
greater rewards for all concerned. True, the first competition is two years
away, but many of the future RMAC opponents are listed on the schedules
of Omaha and the other present CIC schools before then.
The 1967 Indian football team could go a long way, at least on paper.
28 lettermen are returning to head coach Al Caniglia's fold. However,
these same men suffered through a tragic 1-9 disaster in 1966 and some
won't lose the scars.
Brightness on the horizon is the return to action of two-time ALL-CIC
quarterback Marlin Briscoe, who missed last season with a neck injury.
The scrambling field general set nine OU records during an 8-2 season
in 1965. Needless to say, his absence last fall was chiefly responsible for
the collapse which dulled what might have been Omaha's finest hour.
The little quarterback is going to be under intense pressure week
after week from opponents who will mark him as the main way to stop
the varied Indian attack that netted 381 yards per game in 1965 under
Briscoe's direction.
However, OU foes are going to find a rock-hard defense up front to
go with the explosive offense. Linebacker Buddy Belitz returns to head
up a dedicated defensive unit that promises to be among OU's best in
history.
The Indians return three-fourths of the league's 2nd Team All-Star
defensive backfield in Lew Garrison, Pat Smagacz and Gary Paporello. Dom
Polifrone (220), '65 Rookie of the Year Ed Jackson (240), Nebraska
transfer Len Canarsky (245), and frosh tackles John Brennan (250) and
Richard Luger (240) will be the core of the front wall that will have to
handle a big load.
Offensively, tackle Bob Kreitner leads the way. The big sophomore
appears to be able to handle some leadership along with senior split end
Bill Haas (215), who was the quarterback last fall. Cincinnati transfer Tom
McKernan, a 6-4 end who was a standout in the spring game, may move
Cont'd.
21
�OUTLOOK CONT'D
to flanker and give the Indians a big, fast and mobile split pair for the
aerial thrusts of Briscoe.
Backing up Briscoe will be a pair of talented rookies in ex-marine
Gary Peters, the passing sensation of the spring game, and rookie Rocco
Gonnella, whb broke all of Cornell All-American Gary Wood's records at
Heninger High in Syracuse, New York.
Three-year regular Ken Pelan returns at center as does tackle Tom
Hutchison, who may be a question mark with a knee that has been slow
in healing after surgery last spring.
Big (6-2, 2-0) Ron Sayers, a junior who was a rushing leader in '66,
will head up a cast of good ball carriers who will share a great load with
Briscoe. Sayers, whose brother Gale is the NFL Chicago Bear star, has
developed great speed and some good moves, but must control a ten
dency to fumble if he is to blossom into the star class that observers
predict for him.
Little Rick Davis (5-7, 180) will handle the fullback chores to start.
However, junior Greg Kavan will be right behind after making great strides
in '66.
Davis, who has led the Indians in receiving in both '65 and '66, may
be shifted to flanker or running back if the situation demands. He is a
versatile athlete who can go both ways and play a corner on defense as
well.
LETTERMAN SITUATION. 28 Lettermen return, including nine starters on
each unit.
DEPTH SITUATION: Exceptional in backfield, very thin in offensive line
(especially at guards), good in defensive line and secondary.
CHIEF WEAKNESSES: Offensive line at guard spot, where vets Bernie
Kanger (190) and Oscar Pulliam (220) are the lone experienced
players. However, transfer Kerry Larma, junior Rick Shuckman and
newcomer Mel Washington might solve problem.
TOP NEWCOMERS: Tackles John Brennan (250) and Richard Luger (240)
may move in right away on defense. Quarterback Rocco Gonnella is
a highly regarded frosh from Syracuse, New York. Guard Mel
Washington, Rochester, N.Y., comes to OU with good credentials as
does Omaha Creighton Prep grad Ted Scholz, an end who made the
All-Metro team. Linebacker Jim Musil (180) was a surprise with
aggressiveness in the spring game and may get a starting shot.
ALUMNI KICKS IN $3,234
Omaha, Nebr.—Omaha University's Alumni Association kicked in with
its largest donation to the athletic department, $3,234, during the spring
sports fete in the Milo Bail Student Center. Mark Gautier, a former OU
athlete and now Alumni President, presented the check to Athletic Director
Virgil Yelkin on behalf of the Association.
Gautier, news director at television station KMTV in Omaha, has been
instrumental in projects designed to help his alma mater's athletic program
and the alums have promised all-out support in this direction.
The donation will go to the school's athletic grant-in-aid fund.

�THE UNIVERSITY OF OMAHA
The University of Omaha became a munic
ipal university in 1930, but its educational
history began more than 20 years earlier.
In 1908, through a group of far-sighted
citizens, the University of Omaha was incor
porated as a co-educational, non-sectarian
college. The first college term opened in Sep
tember, 1909, under the leadership of Dr.
Daniel E. Jenkins. The original campus was
located at 24th and Pratt Streets.
The citizens of Omaha voted in 1930 to
establish the Municipal University of Omaha,
and in 1936 the University received a grant
from the Public Works Administration to con
struct a modern educational unit at a 51-acre
DR. NAYLOR
site south of Dodge Street at 60th.
Since that time, the University has grown to a six-building, 9,000
student complex with some of the most beautiful and modern facilities in
the nation. The $750,000 Fieldhouse-Stadium was completed in 1949, pro
viding facilities for all sports. In 1959, the Milo Bail Student Center and
the Applied Arts classroom building, now called the Engineering Building,
were completed for use in an expanded educational program.
In 1962 and 1964, two wings totaling $575,942 were completed on
the Applied Arts Building and two wings on the Gene Eppley Library were
completed in 1963. The original library, one of the finest in the nation,
was constructed in 1955.
The most important step in the University's growth came last spring
when the school, under the leadership of then Acting President Kirk E.
Naylor, formed a plan to merge with the University of Nebraska at Lincoln,
thereby insuring financial stability and continued growth. Dr. Naylor was
then appointed the University's new President this past summer.
The citizens of Omaha will vote later this year on the measure which
would make this institution the University of Nebraska at Omaha and
possibly one of the largest educational complexes in the Midwest.
Omaha University is a university for the community and for the state.
Its Teacher Education College is one of the finest in the nation and sup
plies hundreds of teachers for elementary and secondary schools throughout
the land.
OU graduates go on to live in Omaha and become an integral part of
the city's life and economy. The University's growth has been phenomenal,
but it is really only beginning.
�This 1967 Omaha University foot
ball brochure was prepared and edited
by Mike Moran, Sports Publicity Direc
tor. Help in research and preparation
of records came from Steve Kupcho
and Linda Kolell. It is the first such
publication in the University's athletic
history.

HOME OF THE INDIANS
Omaha University Stadium was completed along with the Fieldhouse
in 1949 at a cost of $750,000. The modem facility features some of the
finest unobstructed viewing for football and track in the nation.
The concrete and steel structure extends from goal line to goal line
and seats about 6,000 fans for football. Bleachers on the opposite side
swell the capacity to 7,000. The Stadium also features one of the finest
red cinder running tracks in the area and a modern track and field system.
THE PRESS BOX
The Omaha U. Stadium Press Box is one
of the finest among small colleges in the
nation. It's not fancy, but it's functional and
comfortable. That in itself makes it head and
shoulders above ninety percent of small
school facilities.
The three-level box contains two seat
ing levels for working newsmen on the lower
section. The middle section includes two
radio-TV booths and a P.A. booth.
The upper level is an enclosed photog
rapher's roost that is complete with heating
and protection from the elements.
The press box is completely glassenclosed and heated during cold weather.
Complete press facilities and services
are available at all Omaha home games, in
cluding phones and Western Union services.

�THE OMAHA STAFF
VIRGIL V. YELKIN
Athletic Director and Baseball Coach
Omaha University Athletic Director and head
baseball coach Virgil Yelkin begins his 21st sea
son at the school. Yelkin, who graduated from
the University of Nebraska in 1936 after an
illustrious athletic career that included All-Big
Six football recognition as an end, has been at
the athletic helm of Omaha University since
1946. His baseball record is a gaudy 273-80-3
and he was named to the Helms Baseball Hall
of Fame (NAIA) in 1965 after gaining NAIA
Coach of the Year honors in 1962. His Indian
baseball teams have been to the national
tournament on five occasions, taking two runnerup finishes. His 1959 OU team that lost to
Southern University in the NAIA title game at
Alpine, Texas, still holds 41 individual and team NAIA Tournament records.
The 53-year old mentor gained an additional honor this past summer
when he was a coach for the United States baseball entry in the Pan Ameri
can games along with Ohio State's Marty Karow and Iowa State's Cap Timm.
Yelkin attended high school at Lincoln High where he played on two
state football championship teams and earned all-state laurels as a basket
ball guard. The Lincoln High cage team won the state title in 1930.
Yelkin's Office: Fieldhouse, Ext. 305
AL F. CANIGLIA
Head Football Coach
Al Caniglia, 46, Omaha University's head
football coach since 1959, has compiled an
enviable record. The OU graduate (1951) has a
36-28-2 record over seven years and has cap
tured CIC titles in 1962, 1963 and 1965.
His teams have been rated in the top
twenty by the NAIA in 1962 (14th), 1963 (11th)
and 1965 (12th). In addition, Omaha has pro
duced Little Ail-Americans in Jack Petersen, Paul
Blazevich, Gerald Allen and Harlan Aden under
Caniglia.
The Omaha-born, ex-football star was
named Coach of the Year by the Rockne Club of
Kansas City after a 6-3 season in 1961, the
school's first winning record since 1956. His
1962 team finished 8-1-1 on the season, the finest record in nearly a dec
ade, and whipped East Central Oklahoma, 34-21, in the All Sports Bowl at
Oklahoma City on December 8, 1962.
Al attended Creighton University in 1940 before joining the Navy. Upon
discharge following World War II, Caniglia played for the Green Bay Packers
in 1946 until a knee injury ended his playing career.
His coaching trail took him to Norfolk Naval Base in 1946, the Pat
terson, N. J., semi-pro team in 1947, St. Louis University as an assistant
in 1948-49, and then to Hillsboro, Illinois, as football and track coach and
Dean of Men at the high school from 1951-58.

�Omaha Assistants
DON WATCHORN
Don Watchorn, 41, is the top assistant at
Omaha University. He's been at the municipal
school since 1960 when he left the head foot
ball and track coaching post at Schuyler, Ne
braska, high school where he had served for
seven years.
Watchorn was born in Dodge County, Ne
braska, on July 10, 1926. He attended high
school at Ponca, Nebraska, and served in the
United States Navy during World War II.
He graduated from Midland College in 1946
and then attended grad school at Wayne State
and the University of Nebraska. His coaching
experience came at Ponca High, where he was
principal, coach and teacher of social studies
from 1950-52.
Watchorn moved to Schuyler in 1952 and embarked upon a great
coaching record at the small Nebraska city. At Schuyler, in addition to
being head football coach, Watchorn assisted in basketball and was the
head track coach.
His 1958 Schuyler football team was unbeaten in nine games and
won the state Class B championship. His 1956 team was 7-1-1 and his
1957 squad was 5-2-2.
At Omaha, Watchorn has developed outstanding linemen, including
Little Ail-American selections Harlan Aden (1965) and Jack Petersen (1963).
In addition, he has served as coordinator for the annual Greater Omaha
Relays and built it into a g reat track meet.
DON BENNING
Don Benning, 30, handles the responsi
bility of developing linemen along with Watch
orn. The North High grad was one of Omaha's
fine athletes of the past. Benning won six letters
in baseball, football and wrestling at North, then
enrolled at OU after transferring from Dana
College.
At Omaha, Benning played wingback, block
ing back and fullback on Indian teams under
Lloyd Cardwell that recorded seasons of 8-1 and
6-2-1. Highlight of his career was a 62 yard
touchdown run against Bradley in 1955. He
was the Indian ground gaining leader in 1956
until a knee injury sidelined him for the last
two games. After graduation, Benning spent six
months in the United States Marine Corps Reserve Program, then came
back to the University for a graduate internship.
He received his Master's Degree in 1961 and served as a graduate
assistant under Al Caniglia before being named head wrestling coach and
assistant football coach in 1963. Benning has served as program director
at the Near North Side YMCA in 1962.
Benning has built the Omaha wrestling program into the area's finest
in four years.

�OMAHA ASSISTANTS
CARL MEYERS
Carl Meyers, 26, takes over as the third
assistant after the resignation this past spring
of Ken Fischer, who moves on to Hiram Scott
College.
The former Creighton Prep football star
earned AII-CIC honors in 1962 and 1963 as he
quarterbacked Omaha U to consecutive CIC
titles and a sparkling 21-6-1 record in the three
years he called the shots for Al Caniglia after
transferring from Wyoming.
Meyers was an outstanding prep quarter
back and was named the Outstanding Player
in the Nebraska Shrine High School Game in
1959. His laurels at Creighton Prep included
All-City, All-State and scholastic Ail-American
honors.
The Omaha native handles offensive backs and will be responsible
for keeping the OU pro-set offense in gear.
The 26-year old father of four also has handled the assistant's duties
in basketball and baseball in addition to his instructor's duties in Men's
Physical Education.
REDS WHIP WHITES, 31-19
Omaha—Veteran Marlin Briscoe led the favored Reds past the Whites,
31-19, in the annual Spring Football Game on May 9th at Westside High
Stadium.
A crowd of 1,022 turned out in balmy weather under the lights to
see Briscoe duel rookie Gary Peters of the Whites. The 26-year old Peters,
a marine veteran, completed 19 of 32 passes for 163 yards and two
touchdowns while leading the underdogs to a 13-13 halftime tie with the
Reds. Cincinnati U. transfer Tom McKernan caught both scoring tosses.
But in the second half, guard Bernie Kanger returned an interception
32 yards for a touchdown, Briscoe tallied from the three after a 56-yard
march and then threw a 49-yard scoring aerial to Stan Standifer to put the
game out of reach.
The scoring climax came on the last play of the game when soph
guard Roy Washington, an outstanding wrestler, stole the ball on a handoff from Peters and sprinted 76 yards for a score.
The game netted over 600 dollars for the athletic grant-in-aid fund.
It was a special promotion by OUPAC, the department's promotion unit
headed by Francis Hurst of the Psychology Dept.

�WELCOME TO THE RMAC
Omaha University is now an official charter member of the Rocky
Mountain Athletic Conference. League competition is scheduled for 1969
or sooner, depending upon all member schools and their ability to phase
out earlier commitments.
The colorful new loop will encompass five states and 17 colleges and
universities from the mountain and plains states. It promises to be one of
the strongest, if not the top, college athletic leagues in the country. OU
President Dr. Kirk Naylor journeyed to Denver on June 19th where repre
sentatives of the schools met and announced that Harry B. (Doc) Kniseley,
the former information bureau director for the Western Athletic Conference,
would be the league's first commissioner. League headquarters will be in
Denver, Colorado.

The new conference is the brainchild of the 17 school presidents and
will be administered under their supervision. A system of grant-in-aid con
trol has been set up to insure equal competition in all sports.
A league championship involving the winners in each division is in
the plans for football and basketball at least. Other sports may go to
league tournaments or meets to determine a c hampion.
As a sample of the loop's athletic prowess, New Mexico Highlands
was the 1967 NAIA Baseball Champion and also was rated 6th in the
final NAIA Football Poll. Adams State of Colorado and Western Colorado
fielded two of the nation's top football teams while Colorado State was
ranked among the top ten in the NCAA College Division basketball ratings.
OU fans will remember a 53-49 win by the Bears over Omaha at the OU
Fieldhouse last December before 2,745 fans.
It's a high-quality league that promises much for OU and the Omaha
sports public in the way of exciting competition and fast-moving sports
action. It's a step up, but OU officials feel able to make the switch without
difficulty.
The Rocky Mountain Conference, upon which the league was formed,
is one of the nation's oldest athletic conferences, dating to 1899 when the
Colorado Football Association was formed.
Former members include: Utah, Brigham Young, Denver U., Utah
State, Idaho State, Wyoming, Colorado A&M, and Colorado University.

�1966 SEASON IN REVIEW
1. IDAHO STATE THRASHES INDIANS, 28-20
Pocatello, Idaho — Idaho State quarterback Bill Ingram completed
15 of 24 passes for 263 yards and directed a strong ground game as the
Bengals ruined OU's season opener with a 28-20 triumph.
The host team scored with one minute left in the first half as Bob
Odom took a 27-yard scoring pass from Ingram to put the Bengals ahead
at 14-6 and they never lost that margin in the second half.
Fullback Otha Roberts had scored the first touchdown of the game
in the opening quarter on a two-yard plunge to put ISU ahead. However,
OU came within 7-6 in the second quarter when Briscoe hit flanker Lloyd
Williams with a two-yard touchdown pass on fourth and two after line
bucks netted nothing.
The Indians came within 14-12 in the third quarter when Terry
Edwards took a 25-yard scoring bomb from Briscoe. But, the Bengals
struck back with fury for two touchdowns to ice the game.
Speedy Mike Acker scored from the one after a 56-yard march and
Jim VanOrman bucked in from the one minutes later to seal the fate
of the Indians. Omaha scored with 16 seconds left in the game when
Greg Kavan rolled over from the three.

2. STUNNED INDIANS LOSE TO SCOTT, 13-7
Omaha, Nebr. — Stunned by the pre-game announcement that quar
terback Marlin Briscoe would be lost for the season with a cracked vertebrae
in his neck, Omaha U suffered a humiliating 13-7 loss to first-year school
Hiram Scott College. A crowd of 4,100 saw the Scotties, who had been
thrown in the schedule hastily to fill an open date, outplay the demoralized
Indians.
OU head coach Al Caniglia at first tried sore-armed Lew Garrison, then
split end Bill Haas at quarterback, but neither could get a sluggish Omaha
offense to move inside the enemy 35.
The Scotties opened scoring in the waning moments of the first
quarter when quarterback Ken Kinsey found end Rick Myslenski with a
24-yard scoring toss. Bob Lee's PAT made it 7-0.
The visitors added insult to injury in the third quarter by scoring again
to take a 13-0 lead. The swift Lee returned a Harold Lenz punt 48 yards
down the east sidelines for the second Scotty touchdown of the afternoon.

3. MORNINGSIDE OUTLASTS OMAHA IN WILD ONE
Sioux City, Iowa—Morningside College burst loose for two touch
downs in the final 29 seconds to sew up a 26-7 intersectional win and
hand Omaha U its third straight loss of the season. A free-for-all fist
fight in the final seconds enlivened the ancient rivalry that saw the Chiefs
pull even at 13 wins apiece.
Morningside took a 14-7 lead to the dressing room at halftime as a
result of a 76-yard interception return by Chief defensive back Paul Payne.
OU scored its only touchdown of the night in the final 49 seconds of
the first half when Bill Dodd bucked over from the one after a 70-yard
sustained march aided by two major penalties against the hosts.
With 29 seconds left in the game, Chief end Dan Duskin caught an
18-yard scoring toss from quarterback Don Zeleznak to make it 20-7. Then
on the first Omaha play from scrimmage following the kickoff, Jim Rupert
intercepted a Ray Shaw pass and returned to the OU seven.
Zeleznak promptly hit Ken Kuchel with a scoring pass as time ran
out and the fight ensued. Omaha was guilty of six costly fumbles in the
ball game.

4. BRADLEY USES OU MISCUES FOR 14-6 WIN
Peoria, III. — Omaha's losing streak reached four as the Bradley
Braves scored a boring 14-6 victory over the Indians to avenge two
straight wins by the Red and Black. OU won 29-28 in 1964 and by 14-12
at Rosenblatt Stadium in 1965.
As was the case in the three previous losses of the season, the
Omaha offense was a void, offsetting a great OU defensive effort. OU
jumped off to a quick 6-0 lead in the first period when Lew Garrison
returned a short Brave punt to the 16-yard line.
Bill Dodd busted in from the three six plays later to send Omaha
into its first lead of the season.
Bradley bounced back on a fluke play to take a 7-6 lead at halftime.
OU center Ken Pelan snapped the ball back over Harold Lenz's head into
the end zone on a punt situation and Bradley back Gary Rapplean got
to it before an Indian did for a TD.
Bradley scored the clincher with four minutes left in the game on a
40-yard drive in three plays. Prosh quarterback Larry Selinzer went the
final 13 yards off tackle.
OU quarterback Bill Haas had six passes intercepted and the Omaha
offense lost seven of nine costly fumbles.

5. PITTSBURG CLIPS OMAHA IN CIC OPENER
Pittsburg, Kans. — Omaha University suffered its fifth straight loss
and first in CIC play in six games, dropping a 21-7 decision to Pittsburg
State as the Gorillas broke a 7-7 tie with 6:28 left to play.
Again the OU defense turned in a stellar job, only to see the offense
break down time and time again despite three fumble recoveries inside the
Gorilla ten yard line.
Pittsburg scored first in the second period when AII-CIC fullback
Gaylen McCubbin, back after a year's absence, rammed over from the one
to cap a 56-yard march.
Omaha tied at 7-7 in the same period when Bill Dodd scored his
fourth touchdown of the season on an eleven-yard sweep to end a 66-yard
sustained and penalty-aided drive in eleven plays.
Prior to that TD, OU had failed to capitalize on two fumble re
coveries inside the Gorilla ten. Pat Smagacz fumbled on the one yard line
to ruin a p otential score.
The game was a standoff from that point until just over six minutes
remained to play. At that point, McCubbin went over again from the one
after a six-play, 43 yard march.
The big fullback scored the clincher with 1:23 left from the 17 after an
OU fumble had given the Kansans possession on the Omaha 23.

6. GREYHOUNDS BLANK OMAHA AT STADIUM, 23-0
Omaha, Nebr. Omaha suffered only its second whitewash in six
years, dropping a 23-0 decision to Eastern New Mexico before only 1,865
fans in spacious Rosenblatt Stadium.
Greyhound quarterback Dean Bates ignited a 16-point outburst in the
final eleven minutes of the first half to put the game away early for the
visitors from Portales.
First Bates threw a six-yard scoring aerial to end Tim Whalen, then
came back three minutes later with a 54-yarder to flanker Ken Herring.
The diminutive field general ended the flurry with a 30-yard field goal as
the half came to an end.
The Greyhounds scored their final tally in the fourth period on a twoplay, 47-yard march. Herring capped it by grabbing a 37-yard toss from
Bates for the touchdown.
OU mounted only two threats all evening and lost one touchdown
when an official blew the ball dead when Rick Davis apparently had clear
sailing into the end zone on a pass from Haas.

7. WASHBURN TUMBLES INDIANS INTO CELLAR
Omaha, Nebr. — Despite scoring on the first play of the game,
Omaha managed to drop its seventh straight of the year, a 21-14 fight
with Washburn and drop into the CIC cellar.
A crowd of 1,848 OU fans roared when freshman Steve Haborak
recovered a Washburn fumble in the end zone on the opening kickoff to
send the Indians into a q uick 7-0 advantage.
However, the Ichabods tied it up minutes later when Dan West, WU's
all-league defensive back, blocked a Harold Lenz punt and recovered on the
Omaha five. It took only two plays for Washburn fullback Mick Romano
to blast in for the touchdown.
The Blues upped the count to 14-7 in the third quarter when fleet
Charlie White capped a 69-yard march by going in from the one with
two minutes left in the period.
WU made it 21-7 with 9:30 left in the game as little Bill Butler scored
on an eleven yard sweep. Omaha stormed back to go 76 yards for its
second touchdown. Ron Sayers took an 11-yard scoring flip from Bill Haas
to make it 21-14.

8. OMAHA WHIPS HORNETS TO END LOSS SKEIN
Emporia, Kans. — Omaha's long drouth ended impressively at
Emporia with a 13-0 win over the Hornets before 6,103 disappointed Home
coming fans as OU ended a long, eight-game loss skein.
Fleet Ron Sayers was the hero for the victorious Indians, ripping off
114 yards in 24 carries and scoring one touchdown. OU added its most
brilliant defensive showing of the year, limiting Emporia State to just 114
yards.
Omaha marched the opening kickoff 85 yards in fifteen running plays
with seeming ease. Greg Kavan capped the march with a two-yard buck
for the touchdown and a 7-0 OU lead. That margin stood up until the
third period.
In the third period, little Roy Washington slammed into Hornet punt
return man Doug Caywood and jarred the ball loose. Tackle Dan Klepper
recovered on the Emporia State 32-yard line.
It took just six plays to get the score with Sayers hitting pay dirt
from the three yard line. Omaha lost another touchdown minutes into the
fourth period when another Sayers TD from the seven was nullified by a
clipping penalty.
The Indians racked up 295 yards in total offense for their finest
showing since the season opener against Idaho State.

9. TIGERS RUIN OMAHA HOMECOMING, 19-0
Omaha, Nebr. — The Indians completed the cycle from top to bottom
of the league standings in one year by losing a 19-0 decision to Fort Hays
State as the Tigers came off a 0-0 tie at halftime to win before 2,834 OU
Homecoming fans.
Omaha pushed the eventual CIC co-champs all over the field in the
first half of this gray, chilly day. However, OU could not find the end zone
once it was near. The Indians made 16 of their 17 first downs and all
but 20 of 219 yards in the first half.
The demise started in the third period when Tiger Kenny Caywood
returned an OU punt to the Omaha 48. It took 15 slam-bang plays into
the line for Fort Hays quarterback Bob Johnson to get the score.
In the fourth quarter, Bernie Blevins pounced on Greg Kavan's
fumble at the Omaha 45. Six plays later, Johnson, the AII-CIC quarterback,
hit Tom Stevens with a 13-yard scoring toss to make it 13-0.
The capper came two minutes later in three plays from the Omaha 26.
Bruising fullback Rich Dreiling bulled in from the three with 1:55 left in
the game to make the final margin 19-0.

10. DRAKE CRUSHES OMAHA, 53-0, IN FINALE
Omaha, Nebr. — The worst season in Al Caniglia's tenure came to a
horrible end as Drake crushed the Indians 53-0 on a gray, damp afternoon
before only 525 fans at OU Stadium. Most of the fans had their ears glued
to transistor radios for the account of the epic Notre Dame-Michigan State
struggle.
Drake's Manley Sarnowsky grabbed 11 passes for 127 yards from
quarterback Ron Royer to establish a new NCAA College Division record.
His 92 receptions broke the old mark of 81 set by Parsons' Steve Gilliat
in 1962.
Royer, closing out a great Drake career, completed 18 of 27 passes
for 346 yards and three touchdowns. Two of the scoring flips went to
fleet Bob Misner and the other to Sarnowsky.
Drake built a 33-0 halftime lead on two touchdowns each by Misner
and Royer, plus another by backup quarterback Bert Fortuna, a Nebraska
transfer. The rout continued in the second half, despite the generous
substitution practices of Drake head coach Jack Wallace.

OMAHA'S RAK HONORED
Omaha University's great middle guard
Dave Rak was a unanimous choice to the
1966 CIC All-Star team as chosen by the
coaches and sports publicists throughout the
league.
The 6-2, 215-pound senior from Omaha
South was also a first-team selection in 1965
as an offensive tackle as he led the Indians
to an 8-2 season and a CIC title.
DAVE RAK
Dave, who played little high school foot
ball, was a campus leader on and off the
field during his playing days. He was voted
the team's Outstanding Lineman and co-cap
tain for the 1966 team. In addition, Rak was
named to the NAIA All-District team and the
Lincoln Journal's All-State College team. He
will play for the Omaha Mustangs of the
Professional Football League of America this
fall.

�INDIAN OUTLOOK FOR '67
A BIG YEAR AHEAD
by Mike Moran, Sports Publicity Director
Omaha University's football team will be facing its biggest year in
history under great pressure. The school has joined a wonderful new
league called the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. That factor may
have a lot to do with squad morale, because this stepped-up loop will mean
greater rewards for all concerned. True, the first competition is two years
away, but many of the future RMAC opponents are listed on the schedules
of Omaha and the other present CIC schools before then.
The 1967 Indian football team could go a long way, at least on paper.
28 lettermen are returning to head coach Al Caniglia's fold. However,
these same men suffered through a tragic 1-9 disaster in 1966 and some
won't lose the scars.
Brightness on the horizon is the return to action of two-time ALL-CIC
quarterback Marlin Briscoe, who missed last season with a neck injury.
The scrambling field general set nine OU records during an 8-2 season
in 1965. Needless to say, his absence last fall was chiefly responsible for
the collapse which dulled what might have been Omaha's finest hour.
The little quarterback is going to be under intense pressure week
after week from opponents who will mark him as the main way to stop
the varied Indian attack that netted 381 yards per game in 1965 under
Briscoe's direction.
However, OU foes are going to find a rock-hard defense up front to
go with the explosive offense. Linebacker Buddy Belitz returns to head
up a dedicated defensive unit that promises to be among OU's best in
history.
The Indians return three-fourths of the league's 2nd Team All-Star
defensive backfield in Lew Garrison, Pat Smagacz and Gary Paporello. Dom
Polifrone (220), '65 Rookie of the Year Ed Jackson (240), Nebraska
transfer Len Canarsky (245), and frosh tackles John Brennan (250) and
Richard Luger (240) will be the core of the front wall that will have to
handle a big load.
Offensively, tackle Bob Kreitner leads the way. The big sophomore
appears to be able to handle some leadership along with senior split end
Bill Haas (215), who was the quarterback last fall. Cincinnati transfer Tom
McKernan, a 6-4 end who was a standout in the spring game, may move
Cont'd.
21
�OUTLOOK CONT'D
to flanker and give the Indians a big, fast and mobile split pair for the
aerial thrusts of Briscoe.
Backing up Briscoe will be a pair of talented rookies in ex-marine
Gary Peters, the passing sensation of the spring game, and rookie Rocco
Gonnella, whb broke all of Cornell All-American Gary Wood's records at
Heninger High in Syracuse, New York.
Three-year regular Ken Pelan returns at center as does tackle Tom
Hutchison, who may be a question mark with a knee that has been slow
in healing after surgery last spring.
Big (6-2, 2-0) Ron Sayers, a junior who was a rushing leader in '66,
will head up a cast of good ball carriers who will share a great load with
Briscoe. Sayers, whose brother Gale is the NFL Chicago Bear star, has
developed great speed and some good moves, but must control a ten
dency to fumble if he is to blossom into the star class that observers
predict for him.
Little Rick Davis (5-7, 180) will handle the fullback chores to start.
However, junior Greg Kavan will be right behind after making great strides
in '66.
Davis, who has led the Indians in receiving in both '65 and '66, may
be shifted to flanker or running back if the situation demands. He is a
versatile athlete who can go both ways and play a corner on defense as
well.
LETTERMAN SITUATION. 28 Lettermen return, including nine starters on
each unit.
DEPTH SITUATION: Exceptional in backfield, very thin in offensive line
(especially at guards), good in defensive line and secondary.
CHIEF WEAKNESSES: Offensive line at guard spot, where vets Bernie
Kanger (190) and Oscar Pulliam (220) are the lone experienced
players. However, transfer Kerry Larma, junior Rick Shuckman and
newcomer Mel Washington might solve problem.
TOP NEWCOMERS: Tackles John Brennan (250) and Richard Luger (240)
may move in right away on defense. Quarterback Rocco Gonnella is
a highly regarded frosh from Syracuse, New York. Guard Mel
Washington, Rochester, N.Y., comes to OU with good credentials as
does Omaha Creighton Prep grad Ted Scholz, an end who made the
All-Metro team. Linebacker Jim Musil (180) was a surprise with
aggressiveness in the spring game and may get a starting shot.
ALUMNI KICKS IN $3,234
Omaha, Nebr.—Omaha University's Alumni Association kicked in with
its largest donation to the athletic department, $3,234, during the spring
sports fete in the Milo Bail Student Center. Mark Gautier, a former OU
athlete and now Alumni President, presented the check to Athletic Director
Virgil Yelkin on behalf of the Association.
Gautier, news director at television station KMTV in Omaha, has been
instrumental in projects designed to help his alma mater's athletic program
and the alums have promised all-out support in this direction.
The donation will go to the school's athletic grant-in-aid fund.

for both the offensive and defensive lineups for the opening of fall camp.

CAPSULE SUMMARY
Offense—Nine returning starters back for 1967 and make it ten when you
shift Haas back to split end and put injured Briscoe back in at
quarterback. Only loss was part-time tackle starter Bill Jansen.
Also, Davis has been shifted to fullback. All starters are lettermen. Excellent depth here.
Defense—Nine starters return here, but wholesale position changes are
anticipated before the first kickoff as coaches seek to reduce
two-way performers who were forced into going both ways be
cause of injuries to key personnel. Losses include great Dave
Rak, two-time AII-CIC middle guard and Jansen. It's possible
that entire backfield with exception of Garrison will be changed
to new positions. Also, touted rookies John Brennan (250) and
Rich Luger (245) may move in quickly.
(Note: Klepper and Polifrone were playing baseball in spring
and thus are not listed perhaps as high as they will play)

COACHES KEEP BUSY IN SUMMER
Two of Omaha's coaches spent interesting summers in the football
field. Head Coach Al Caniglia maintained his duties as advisory coach of
the Omaha Mustangs of the PFL along with Creighton Prep mentor
Don Leahy. Al visited the Kansas City Chief summer camp to become
familiar with the KC offense and defense. The Mustangs have signed a
working agreement with the Chiefs.
Assistant Don Benning conducted his usual successful summer youth
football clinic for kids. Benning works for the Parks and Recreation
Department and its summer program of entertainment for youngsters. The
football clinic instruction staff is made up of star players from Omaha
and Nebraska Universities and the Omaha Mustangs.
Assistant Don Watchorn spent the summer teaching Driver Education
courses to high school instructors. Carl Meyers took over the baseball
recruiting duties while head coach Virgil Yelkin was at Winnipeg with
the United States Pan American baseball team.

24 last season before being squashed by San Diego State, face the monu
mental task of replacing their entire defensive front wall. All told, 19 im
portant lettermen are gone and ten were starters. Biggest loss was Little
Ail-American tackle Walt Odegaard. However, the new line replacements
aren't anybody's pushovers and they are bigger than their departed team
mates. Coach Ron Erhardt points out that the 1967 schedule is the toughest
in history and that the first three games (Montana State, Omaha and
Northern Iowa) will have a lot to do with just how the Bison will fare.
"There is no question about our 1967 season being interesting. The Bison
are a young team—probably the youngest in the conference—but we are
fortunate to have back some key people in the offensive and defensive
backfields," says Erhardt. Offensively, the load will fall into the capable
hands of two year regular quarterback Terry Hanson, who sparkled in the
spring drills. The running attack will again be led by senior Ken Rota, who
made the Little All-America team his soph year and was honorable
mention last fall.
HEAD COACH RON ERHARDT: In his
second season, he's a grad of Jamestown (N.D.)
College in 1953. His 1966 Bison team finished
8-2 and was the nation's top rated small college
team until the final two weeks of the season
when his Herd was upset by San Diego State,
the eventual national champion, and Northern
Iowa.

DICK BEECHNER
Head Coach
OUTLOOK: Coach Dick Beechner, starting his second full year of
competition at Hiram Scott, has lost eight starters off his 5-2 edition from
last fall. To add to his woes, there's the toughest schedule in Scotty
history, plus the fact, as Beechner says, "Everyone is going to be looking
for us this year and we won't take anybody by surprise again." However
pessimistic the young head coach sounds, don't let it fool you. Along
with the fourteen returning starters, there are six other tested lettermen
and some very talented transfer material to assemble. Quarterback Ken
Kinsey returns to handle the signal-calling post along with spring game
standout Pete Camarella (5-6, 170). Backfield strength will be aided by
the return of soph Jim Dickerson and frosh speed merchant Bill Rigney,
who was the state sprint champ in Pennsylvania last spring at Pittsburgh.
Beechner returns nine defensive starters and good linemen are the rule
rather than the exception. Defensive end Bill Startzer (6-2, 235) and
guard Steve Zemko, who once wore Nebraska colors are the best up front
along with mammoth tackle Nick Cirone, who played great ball last year
after coming in from McCook J. C. The Scotties will face a depth problem
and will depend a lot on newcomers offensively. However, Beechner and
his staff seem to be able to find what it takes
to get the most out of the young players.
HEAD COACH DICK BEECHNER: Came to
the head job at Scott after a tenure of assistantship under Bob Devaney at Nebraska. His first
Hiram Scott club went 5-2.

DEWEY HALFORD
Offense: Winged-T
Head Coach
OUTLOOK: The Maroon Chiefs of head coach Dewey Halford, one of
Omaha's all time greatest opponents, return 21 lettermen and a strong
defense. Leading the Chiefs will be AII-NCC flanker Gayle Knief, who dealt
OU fits at Sioux City last fall during a 26-7 romp over the Indians. Halford
runs his winged-T attack with precision and the '67 Morningside team
again will be tough, despite the usual lack of depth and injury problems.
Quarterback Don Zeleznak returns to direct the Chief attack and halfback
Denny Turnure will head the cast of ball carriers. Morningside and Omaha
have evened the ancient series at 13 wins apiece. There was one tie.
The most famous win of all was the great comefrom-behind 33-25 win in 1963 by the Chiefs in
the season opener at Omaha after the nationally
rated Indians had taken a 25-6 halftime ad
vantage. This year Halford and his assistants
are looking forward to better things than last
year's 3-6 mark that included a 1-5 NCC mark
and the bottom spot on the conference totem
pole.

ANDY MacDONALD
Head Coach
Offense: "I" Formation
OUTLOOK: Northern Arizona's Associated Press Little All-American
nose guard Dick Ries will be the mainstay in the Lumberjack defensive
line, which returns nearly intact. Adding strength to the NAU passing
attack is newcomer quarterback Carl Williams, a transfer from Arlington
(Tex.) State, where he was a star signal caller. Also expected to put zip
in the NAU aerial game is split end Rich O'Hara, a transfer from the
University of Iowa last spring. Great things are also "expected from a
fullback entering his sophomore year named Cris "Thunder" Thornton.
That name means a lot to Nebraska University football fans. This Thornton
was also an Ohio prep star. Another fullback being groomed for his best
season ever is Gary Barnes, a senior. Coach
MacDonald says "This should be my best team
in three years." NAU plays one of the strongest
small college schedules in the nation and so the
season record could be deceptive.
HEAD COACH ANDY MACDONALD: 3rd
year as head coach. So far has compiled 5-4,
6-4-1 marks since coming to NAU. He's a 1953
graduate of Central Michigan where he was a
Little All-American quarterback in 1950-51 and
led the nation in passing. He previously
coached at Flint, Michigan, and under Jerry

OUTLOOK: NAIA All-American tackle John Peterson heads up a cast
of 20 returning letter winners for the 1966 CIC co-champ Gorillas in coach
Tom Lester's first year at the helm. Also returning are AII-CIC first team
members Bill Hazzard (end) and Larry Beard, also a defensive end. Re
turning to the offense will be halfback Fred Held of Bellevue, Nebraska,
who was injured last season and was forced to miss the entire KSTC
season. Held was a 1965 standout for the Gorillas. Pittsburg backers are
thumping the tub for fleet running back Alpha Bibbs. The speedster was
the leading ground gainer in the spring football tilt, getting 101 yards for
an 11.2 per carry norm. Two-way performer Tom Gorman will again handle
the quarterback chores along with a newcomer from the junior college
ranks named Rod Ivy. The Gorillas lose only one starter off a tough de
fensive crew, but the real trouble develops when you analyze the offense.
Only three tested starters return to lead the Gorilla offense. However,
flashy halfback Vertie Tomlin, who missed the
entire season with a broken ankle, will return.
The Kansans may have some trouble moving
the ball until the linemen adjust.
HEAD COACH TOM LESTER: The former
KSC assistant steps up to the head job after
six years. Lester was an AII-CIC performer and
Little All-America honorable mention at KSC
in 1951. He previously coached at Caldwell and
Atchison, Kansas, high schools.

JACK WALLACE
Offense: Pro set
Head Coach
OUTLOOK: Drake loses its greatest passing combination of all-time,
Ron Royer to Manley Sarnowsky, but the Bulldogs still expect to be a
potent outfit this fall. There appears to be a capable replacement for
Royer in Nebraska transfer Bert Fortuna and a half dozen better than
average receivers, headed by fleet Bobby Misner, who nabbed 27 passes
for 577 yards and 7 touchdowns. The Bulldogs have an experienced club
with six starters on both the offense and defense slated to return from
last year's outstanding 8-2 club that ended the season by thumping
Omaha, 53-0. For the most part, the Drakes will be a junior team, with
the defensive unit rated a slight nod over the offense. Although Ron
Oswalt, last year's top rusher, has moved to the defensive unit, coach
Jack Wallace expects a stronger running attack which should prove more
of a compliment to the air game than last season. Back after a year's
absence to bulwark the defense will be 6-4, 275-pound tackle Ben Mayes,
a favorite of Omaha fans and players. Mayes set out last season to "con
centrate on studies" but looked better than ever in spring drills. Wallace,
one of the country's most personable coaches, is optimistic in his out
look, but adds a word of caution about Drake's chances of getting
through its first three games alive. The Drakes open against potent
Louisville, then tackle North Texas State and Wichita State on consecutive
weekends. Wallace adds that if his squad gets banged up in those three
contests, then things could change rapidly and make him frown a bit.
HEAD COACH JACK WALLACE: Graduated from CIC's Pittsburg State
and coached in the junior college ranks before taking over at Drake. His
Bulldog record is 14-6 in two seasons.

Offense: Winged-T
Fullback
OUTLOOK: New coach Bill Schaake will be confronted with a monu
mental problem in his first year at Washburn. Sixteen lettermen return, but
only nine of them are linemen. The seven returning backfield vets are good
ones, however, and may have to share the bulk of the load if the Icha
bods are to survive a rugged schedule that includes Colorado State,
Southern Colorado and Kearney in addition to the CIC chase. Dean Ferrell, who broke his leg early last year, will be the top candidate for the
signal-calling spot again. The slim Topeka soph showed much promise
before being injured. Inexperience is the big bugaboo to Schaake in his
first year and the line vets are going to be under heavy pressure until
rookies develop. AII-CIC defensive back Dan West, a 195-pound junior
returns to head up that portion of the blue attack. Tackle Tom Copeland,
who stands 6-2 and weighs 225, will bulwark
the Ichabod line along with 195-pound Kenny
Harris at guard. Chief running threat will come
from fullback Jim Stuke, 6-0 and 195. In sum
mation, the Washburn picture looks clouded
going into fall camp. Depth and inexperience
are factors on the negative side, but an ener
getic young coaching staff may change things
yet.
HEAD COACH BILL SCHAAKE: 35 years

Head Coach
Nickname: Hornets
OUTLOOK: It's going to be a questionable year to say the least for
the Hornets, the CIC's perennial doormats for years. However, there's a
new coach, Ron Blaylock, and a new spirit on the KSTC football team.
The former K-State gridder comes to E-State from Yankton College, where
he was 13-14 in three years at the South Dakota school. Blaylock inherits
the most grueling football schedule in Hornet history that is highlighted
by a season-ending tussle at Emporia with Colorado State University,
the lone team to beat Wyoming last fall and now applying for member
ship in the powerful Western Athletic Conference. If that isn't enough,
the Hornets must play Sul Ross (Tex.) and Southern Colorado in addition
to their CIC contests. On the plus side, the Kansans return 24 letter
winners from the 3-6 club of 1966 that played some of the better football
in recent years at KSTC. In fact, had Emporia State beaten Omaha, the
Hornets would have tied for the league title
with a 3-1 mark. Bright spot now appears to be
at quarterback, where Kansas State transfer
Vic Castillo, who still holds three of the Big
Eight club's passing records, will battle with
Connecticut transfer Bob Leahy for the job.
With Castillo in the saddle, the Hornets will
stay a passing club and may be dangerous by
mid season.

RICH DREILING
Offense: Multiple-T
Fullback
OUTLOOK: The Tigers of head coach Wayne McConnell return some
23 lettermen to the fold this season from the 1966 CIC co-champions
that mauled Omaha, 19-0. Big loss is AII-CIC quarterback Bob Johnson,
and he's going to be a hard man to replace, although Tennessee transfer
John Covington might ease the pain somewhat. The lone experienced
signal-caller, Leo Hayden, suffered an ankle fracture in spring drills and is
a question mark going into fall drills. Depth is a problem for McConnell,
but not in the fullback spot, where AII-CIC and NAIA District star Rich
Dreiling returns for his senior year. The 200-pound battering ram led the
CIC in rushing last year with 898 yards. Also returning are center Charlie
Myers, who made the 2nd all-league team and guard Bud Estes, another
2nd teamer who made it on defense. The Tigers open with three toughies
in S.W. Oklahoma, Kearney State and Colorado State College. If things
stay steady through these games, then the Tigers will be in position for
another run on that elusive outright CIC title.
HEAD COACH WAYNE McCONNELL: Begins his 12th season as head

JOE SALEM
Offense: Winged-T
Head Coach
OUTLOOK: The 1967 Coyotes should be a stronger, more talented
football squad, but there are some serious gaps to fill. The biggest ques
tion mark is the offensive backfield where only AII-NCC fullback John
Biezuns returns (4.7 per carry). Both of the players figured for starting
berths at halfback posts had legs in casts this summer, they are Bobby
Koch and Tim Mahan. The quarterback spot is up for grabs with the de
parture of total offense leader Jim Nixon, who set a school record with
11 TD passes. None of the candidates appear to have adequate experience
and the loss of Mahan will cripple the USD air attack. The sparkling show
ing of Mahan last year included seven touchdown passes. Up front, both
the offensive and defensive lines appear strong. There is more size, depth
and experience than in the past few years. Replacing NCC Most Valuable
Lineman Don Abbott appears the most serious problem. Also missing is
AII-NCC halfback Dave Merkley and middle guard Jerry Melcher. Head
Coach Joe Salem has installed a new spirit and a rough schedule. With
any luck and some outstanding transfers, Salem
could give USD its first winner in many years
at Vermillion. Seventeen lettermen return.

��FOOTBALL AT OMAHA, 1910-1967
Omaha University officially opened intercollegiate competition in
1910 against a three-team schedule that included Creighton, Doane and
Nebraska Wesleyan's forerunner, Cotner College of Lincoln.
That team (pictured above) lost its coach, Otis Morgarthaler, after
a loss to Creighton. A player named Andrew Dow then took over as coach
and ushered the infant Omaha University "Cardinals" into the world of
college football.
The road in between has been rocky and uncertain, but there have
been moments of glory as well.
Former Nebraska great Ernie Hubka took over the reins at old Omaha
tJ in 1928 and directed the Cards to some of their greatest years until
leaving in 1934 for greener pastures.
Highlights of the Hubka era included a trip to Chicago in 1932 for a
34-6 loss to powerful DePaul and a 52-0 lacing of Nebraska Central Col
lege in 1930. It was a fine tenure and a good one for OU football fans.
Sed Hartman masterminded the Omaha fortunes from 1935 until
the outbreak of World War II across the land. It was this stretch that
Omaha entered the North Central Conference. However, the Cardinals
never won a league title and fared poorly year after year in this con
ference.
Former Nebraska football great Lloyd Cardwell took the reins after
the war and promptly led OU out of the doldrums with the new nickname
of "Indians." Cardie's 1948 team finished 5-4-0 for the first winning
season since 1935.
Buoyed by a brilliant group of former servicemen and dedicated local
talent, Cardwell's teams from 1952-56, under the leadership of All-American Bill Engelhardt, enjoyed some of the greatest moments in OU history.
The 1954 team went 9-0 during the regular season and wound up a
perfect year by whipping Eastern Kentucky, 7-6, in the Tangerine Bowl on
New Year's Eve at Orlando, Florida.
This was the age of "puritanism" in athletics at Omaha and no fi
nancial help was offered, despite a great clamor by local citizens to build
a bigger program.

�HISTORY CONT'D
So, hard times befell Cardwell and OU till 1960 when he was
forced to give up the reins. Al Caniglia, complete with grants-in-aid and
a burning desire to win, took over and led Omaha once again into the
limelight.
Caniglia's 1961 team went 6-3 and from then on, it was all roses
until the 1-9 disaster in 1966. The 1962 Indians, considered the finest
team since the '54 eleven, finished 8-1-1 on the year and whipped East
Central Oklahoma, 34-21, in the All-Sports Bowl at Oklahoma City in
December of '62.
ATs OU teams have won CIC titles in 1962, '63 and 1965. His teams
have been rated among the top ten NAIA schools three times.
Now comes a new conference, the Rocky Mountain, and a new future
perhaps as the University of Nebraska at Omaha. The history of football
at Omaha is just beginning.

WHO'S WHO
Omaha University football has produced seven genuine All-Americans.
Topping the list is OU's great one-man show from 1953-57, Bill Engelhardt. (See next page for complete details.)
"Lupe" Joe Arenas guided OU's teams from 1947-50 and was drafted
by the San Francisco 49ers of the NFL. He went on to a great career.
While at OU, he led the post-war Indians back to football prominence with
his slingshot arm and clever ball handling. He is currently on the coach
ing staff at Houston U.
Gerry Allen, now with the Baltimore Colts, holds the single season
rushing mark at OU. The former Massilon, Ohio, great came to Omaha
out of the Air Force and made a big splash during a great four year span.
300-pound tackle Jack Petersen was the leader of the feared "Fear
some Foursome" defensive wall of 1963 that averaged 275 pounds from
end to end. He was drafted by the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota
Vikings, but did not go on to play.
Guard Harlan Aden, who made it in 1965, was Omaha's finest allaround guard. The Scottsbluff native was a great pulling guard on the
OU "power sweep."
End Rudy Rotella, who holds several Indian pass receiving records,
starred in the Tangerine Bowl era from 1953-55. He played earlier in
1949 before fighting in the Korean War. He is teaching and coaching at
Bellevue High.
Finally, end Paul Blazevich, who came out of the East in 1961 to
lead Omaha's striking resurgence to prominence, made it in 1962. His
sparkling two-year stint at Omaha included a single season TD pass
reception mark of ten in '62.

Omaha to a perfect 10-0 season and a 7-6 win over Glenn Presnell's
Eastern Kentucky team in the Tangerine Bowl before some 13,000 fans
at Orlando, Florida, on New Year's Eve.

OU'S ALLEN WITH COLTS
GERALD ALLEN
All-American — 1964-65
Omaha University's Little All-American
halfback of 1964-65, Gerald Allen, is with
the Baltimore Colts of the National Foot
ball League this season.
Gerry, who enrolled at Omaha after a
sparkling high school career at Washington
High in Massilon, Ohio, holds OU records
for yards rushing in one season, yards
rushing in one game, most points in one
game, most TD's in a single game, and
the longest interception return in school
history (a 94-yarder against Washburn in
1962 at Topeka during a 41-14 win).
Colt quarterback Johnny Unitas called
Allen "The best running back we've had
at Baltimore since we signed Lenny Moore."
The 27-year old ex-airman still calls
Omaha his home, but teaches in the Wash
ington, D.C. school system during the off
season.
His knee is fully healed after a 1966
operation and Colt officials are looking for
a great soph season from the big halfback.

�SEVERAL RECORDS UNDER FIRE
Several Omaha University current football records will be under fire
this season by Indian players. Quarterback Marlin Briscoe is the chief
threat to many of Bill Englehardt's total offense and passing marks set
during the early 1950's.
It might be mentioned that Englehardt was the tailback in the old
Omaha single wing formation and started every play. Omaha now uses
the pro-set offense in which Briscoe has almost the same opportunity to
run or pass with the pigskin.
Records in danger this season include:
CAREER PASS COMPLETIONS:
Briscoe has 193
Englehardt had 215
Briscoe needs 22 completions
CAREER PASSING YARDS:
Briscoe has 2652
Englehardt had 3587
Briscoe needs 938
CAREER TOUCHDOWN PASSES:
Briscoe has 27
Meyers and Engelhardt had 36
Briscoe needs 9
CAREER TOTAL OFFENSE:
Briscoe has 3614
Englehardt had 5709
Briscoe needs 2095
CAREER TOTAL PLAYS:
Briscoe has 614
Englehardt had 976
Briscoe needs 362
WANT GOOD COVERAGE?
All Omaha newspapers and television stations will use glossy or mat
prints for pre-game publicity as well as brochures and lineup cards. Please
send these the week prior to the game for the best advantage to your
team. On occasion, TV stations will use guests from opponent's coaching
or publicity staffs. In addition, Mike Moran, Sports Information Director,
will provide voice feeds for radio or TV along with pictures. Simply contact
this office if an interview with coach or publicity staff personnel is desired.
At the games, a phone is available in the press box and elsewhere on
campus. Western Union or radio broadcast phones must be arranged for
ahead of time by contacting Omaha Western Union (342-5300) or North
western Bell Telephone Company (341-6000).

�OMAHA CAGERS FACE RUGGED SCHEDULE
Omaha University will carry the
colors into the newly-formed Rocky
Mountain Athletic Conference this
year during a two-day road trip to
Regis College and Colorado State.
The December trip is only a part
of the rugged 21-game schedule
lined up by head coach Jim Borsheim for his 1966-67 CIC cochamps, who finished with a 13-10
season mark that included a.trip to
the NAIA District finals for the first
time in nearly a decade. It was the
first conference basketball title for
an OU team in history.
Three starters return, headed by
AII-CIC first team guard selection
Len Todd, who sizzled as a freshman
last season. Also back is 2nd team
AII-CIC forward Bill Haas, who made
the 1st team in 1965-66 but took a
back seat last season as big Dennis
Browne wrapped up the CIC rebound
title. Haas finished second. How
ever, the Ralston flash gained a
great honor by being named to the
Academic All-America College Divi
sion team by the sports information
directors from across the country.
Guard Jim Etter, who finished
with a rush, is the third starter to
return along with the most talented
group of rookies ever recruited by
Borsheim.
BILL HAAS
The frosh reporting include: 6-7 Tom West (all-stater from U. S. Jones
High in Demopolis, Alabama) 6-7 Ed Stephens (10.1 ppg. and named to
the All-Tourney Metro Conference team at Omaha South last year) 6-4 Don
Williams (All-Cincinnati at Indian Hill High and rebounded at 17.0 per
game) 6-0 guard Doug Moss (All-Stater from Omaha North who averaged
20.3 in 1966).

Media guide for the 1967 football season, Marlin Briscoe's senior year and the final season he played for OU, returning after being out with a neck injury the preceding season.
