Iowa's Hawkeyes and Nebraska's
Cornhuskers open their respec
tive cage seasons Saturday at
Icwa City and at the same time
will open the NCAA's Basketball
Came of the Week.
At 2 p.m. Saturday, Jerry
Bush's cagers will appear on your
local television set.
Bush has named a starting line
up that includes two seniors,
Chuck Smith and Norm Coufal,
one junior, Rex Eckwall, and two
sophomores, Lyle Nannen and Don
Smidt.
Smith is a two-year letterman
and a regular for the better part
of those seasons is co-captain and
the team spark. Chuck stands only
6-1 but grabs a good percentage
of therebounds.
Coufal is the steadying influence
for the Bushmen with his poise
and accuracy.
Eckwall, tabbed as one of Ne
braska's greats as a freshman, is
living up to these advanced notic
es. His near-perfect timing allows
him to sweep the boards against
tnller opposition. Ke and Smith pro
vide rebounding strength even
though they do not stretch into the
stratospheric regions as do most
of their contemporaries.
Nannen is a smooth-shooting 6
foot 3 inch soph who crashed into
the first five after co- captain
Whitey Buel suffered a pre-season
crackup. He edged out Gary Reim
ers, another soph, at the first of
this week.
Smidt is probably one of the smal
ler pivot men in captivity, al
though he stands 6'4". What he

Yes, only Viceroy has this filter composed of 20,000 tiny
filter traps. You cannot obtain the same filtering action
in any other cigarette.
The Viceroy filter -wasn't just whipped up and rushed to
market to meet the new and skyrocketing demand for fil
tered cigarettes. Viceroy pioneered. Started research more
than 20 years ago to create the pure and perfect filter.
Smokers en masse report that filtered Viceroys have a
q finer flavor even than cigarettes without filters. Rich,
satisfying, yet pleasantly mild.
Viceroy draws so easily that you wouldn't know, without
q looking, that it even had a filter tip and Viceroys cost
only a penny or two more than cigarettes without filters!
That's why more college men and women smoke VICEROYS than
tny other filter cigarette . . . that's why 'VICEROY is the largest
selling filter cigarette in the world !

SMITH
By BOS COOK
Sports Editor
The Nebraskan learned Thurs
day that Bill Glassford's successor
has been "picked-"
Though there has been no offi
cial contract between the Univer
sity and this coach, reliable sourc
es have revealed that a contract
ual agreement actually exists be
tween a "group of interested indi
viduals" and the next coach.
Informed Lincoln sources say
that the coach reached in this in
formal agreement is Pete Elliott,
backfield coach at the University
of Oklahoma and former Michigan
University football star.
According to authoritative infor
mation, the contract seems to be
an option which stipulates that the
prospective coach (Elliot) cannot
negotiate any other coaching obli
gations until he is either hired
by the University or released
from this present commitment.
This legal agreement is known
to have been in effect for some
time, possible for three or four
weeks, available contacts disclosed.
Whether or not the University
wiil formalize this agreement and
hire Elliot remains to be seen.
Some people close to the athletic
department have speculated that
Bill Orwig's confidence in hiring
a coach by Jan. 1 could be, in
part, based on this contractual

new coach would be procured in

coaches' conference on the West
Coast.
The Omaha World-Herald quoted
an Oklahoma source Thursday mor

ment with Margie Edwards

the Soonerland informant contin
ued, "some other school will. He's
too good a man to hold here as an
assistant."
When Elliott was in Lincoln for
the Oklahoma football game, he
appeared on Bill King's KOLN-TV
show, neither affirming nor deny
ing a question as to whether he
would be Nebraska's next football
coach.
However, he did say he was def
initely "interested."
Possible official announcement of
ho the new coach will be could be
made at a meeting scheduled late
Monday afternoon by Orwig. In
a letter sent to all members of the
football team, Orwig said he want
ed all players to attend this "very
important meeting."
Other observers close to the Uni
versity football scene feel the an
nouncement will be made sooner,
maybe within the next two or three
days. ..
Orwig, on a speaking trip in
Ohio, was not available for com
ment Thursday afternoon on the
University campus.
Orwig spoke at the Banquet of
Champions at Toledo. According
to statements he plans to contact
prospective coaches on this trip.
Orwig has stated that he plans to
be at Iowa City to attend the in
augural basketball game of the
Huskers against Iowa Saturday aft-e-noon.
In the mean time Elliot is in
Eloomington, Indiana, on a speak
ing engagement. Some observers
feel that a meeting to further ne
gotiations might come about.
Meanwhile many other names
have been thrown into the hat for
the position.
The latest to have been supposed
ly contacted is Ara Parseghian,
head grid mentor at Miami Uni
versity of Ohio. His current squad
was ranked number 15 in the na
tion on most polls.
Miami tangles many Big 10 op
ponents and has to its credit wins
over Northwestern this year and
Indiana and Marquette last sea
son. Word came from Oklahoma that
Sooner line coach Gomer Jones,
former Husker line coach, was
cot interested in the job.
Another name on the growing
list already mentioned is Dave Nel
son, head coach and Athletic Di
rector at. the University of Dela
ware, who recently was quoted aa
stating he was not interested in
the job and was perfectly satisfied
with his present position.
Orwig's visit to Iowa City may
also draw more names into the
picture. Four Michigan graduates
are now serving on the Iowa coach
ing staff. Orwig is also a Michi
gan grad and former coach there.
If the official announcement of
Elliott's appointment is released it
wiU end two weeks of speculation
and second guessing by the Ne
braska press and sports fans.
It will be the beginning of a new
saga of Cornhusker football.
