Problem Is To
Keep Him 'Fired'
. By GEORGE PAYNICH
Sports Editor
It appears that If the Corn
huskers are to have a success
ful basketball season this year,
their most pressing problem is
how to keep the fire going under
their b i r
dell Braase and Dick Padrnos,
and Guards Jim Rath and Jim
Tays.
LAST YEAR, when Nebraska
won 65-53 here, Rath registered
1 1 points for the Cowboys. Padr
nos, Tays, Alexander and Braase
also hit the scoring column.
All but Padrnos are scheduled
to start here Tuesday night.
Opening South Dakota center
is expected to be Sophomore Le
Koy Okerlund. Okerlund, Braase
and Tays stand 6-4; Alexander
6-2, and Rath 6-0. The latter four
combined to score 478 of South
Dakota's 793 points in 12 North
Central Conference games a year
ago.

Wes Fesler resigned as head
football icoach at the University
of Minnesota in a startling and
surprising move Monday.
Fesler who came to the Goph
ers from Ohio State three years
ago, turned in his resignation to
become a partner, vice president
and director of sports at Minne
apolis radio station WDGY.
Fesler stated he was resigning
with "a great and sincere re
gret. Only an opportunity of
considerable magnitude could
make me wish to leave this po
sition. Such an opportunity has
been presented," he said.
The resignation, coming
swiftly and unexpectedly, was
the second time Fesler had sud
denly given up a head coaching
job at a Big Ten school.
