Basketball action In the Big Seven
was limited to tourney play as the
10th annual Big Seven pre-season
meet found the Iowa State Cy
clones emerge tourney champs for
the first time. It also marked
only the second time that the
Iowans have reached the cham
pionship bracket. They finished
fourth the other time.
The four day affair kicked off
Tuesday evening with the Cy
clones running past Kansas State
and Colorado downing the Okla
homa Sooners. In the Wednesday
night tilts, Missouri, defending
tourney champions and pre-meet
favorites, were forced to go all the
way down the wire before drop
ping t!.j Nebraska Cornhuskers
71-66. Rex Ekwall took scoring hon
ors for the Huskers with 25 points.
Lionel Smith paced Missouri with
22. Jim Kubacki added 18 points
to the Nebraska cause. In the sec
ond game of the evening, the Kan
sas Jayhawks had little trouble in
downing the visiting Cornell quin
tet. The contest then moved into the
semi-finals with the Jayhawks and
the Tigers clashing in one game
and Iowa State meeting the Buffs
in the other affair. The results
found ' the Cyclones meeting the
Hawks for the tourney crown. In
the third place contest, Missouri,
who was going for their second
straight conference tourna
ment crown staved off the desper
ate Coloradoans in the last half
to down the Buffs 82-79.
In the championship match, the
Cyclones, who came into the meet
with an 5-1 mark were going up
against a much taller and much
more experienced Kansas five.
But the victors were not going to
be denied a win and went on to
down the Kansans 67-56. It was
little Gary Thompson, the pocket
sized Cycione guard, that spelled
disaster for KU as well as for
Colorado the night before.
His efforts were well rewarded
by naming him the outstanding
player of the tourney and a unani
mous spot on the all-tournament
five. He was joined on this myth
ical five by Dallas Dobbs and
Gene Elstun of KU, LeRoy Bacher
of Oklahoma and Norm Stewart of
Missouri. Nebraska's Rex Ekwall
gained a berth on the second five.
In the consolatidn rounds, the
Nebraskans downed the guest
team, Cornell, 70-69, while Kansas
State easily downed the Sooners
This put the Cornhuskers up
against KS for the consolation
championship. In the battle for
seventh place the Oklahomans
downed Cornell in an overtime
match whiie Kansas State wrecked
NU.
The Huskers drew much praise
for their performance in the four
day meet, especially the first night
against MU. The Huskers were
at least i 10 point underdog, but
matched the taller and more ex
perienced Tigers point for point
the second half. Two Nebraskans,
Ekwall and Kubacki, drew strong
plaudits for their efforts.
Principles For
FB Pressures
A quick scan of Monday afternoon's Bowl games is revealing.
In the Orange Bowl Oklahoma, number one team in the nation,
crushed Maryland, ranked third in the Associated Press poll, 20-6.
Michigan State, number four team, slipped by UCLA in the waning
moments of the Rose Bowl, 17-14.
In the 1952-53-54 football "campaigns Michigan State, Oklahoma and
Maryland were respectively named as the top teams
in the country.
These three teams, their schools, coaches- and
players, have achieved the pinnacle of national
football fame. And not only have they kept it for
the past five years, but each of the trio gives every
indication it can and will continue to do so in the
future.
But what has been the price each college has
had to pay. It certainly hasn't come cheaply.
Michigan State was placed on a one-year proba
tionary period by the Western Conference after an
ex-FBI agent exposed an alumni fund, which was
giving "unauthorized aid to athletes."

The Price
The University of Maryland filled 166 pages last January in a
messy and much publicized report, detailing every and all special con
cessions to athletes which included the fact that 179 athletes drew
$134,250 annual aid.
Oklahoma, only last April, was primly slapped on two-year report
by the NCAA for "numerous excesses," including illegal recruiting
methods and excessive( aid to varsity and freshman athletes.
Yet, in spite of these shameful disclosures, neither of these three
schools has lost a shred of institutional prestige; none of these three
teams have been stripped of their banner headlines, national sports
acclaim and post-season bowl bids; none of these three coaches are
removed from "Coach of the Year" consideration; none of the players
on these three teams have been denied the opportunity of AU-American
recognition.
Granted, other schools employ this same type of chicanery, in
cluding, strong indications show, almost every school in the Big Seven.
How To Persuade ...
But how can these schools be persuaded (or should we say forced)
to desist if they see the top teams in the nation, year after year, con
tinue to play in bowl games, continue to achieve national recognition,
continue to gain the praise of sportswriters', continue to fill the stadium
on Saturday afternoons even though recruiting and academic illegali
ties are officially and publicly exposed.
I think it's time to start replacing pressures in big time football
with principles.

"One open door after another"
"That's how I feel about the telephone
company," says Walter D. Walker,
B.E.E., University of Minnesota, '51.
"When I joined the company I felt'that
I could go in any direction. And that's
tlife way it's been.
"For the first six months I was given
on-the-job training in the fundamentals
of the telephone business how lines are
put up and equipment installed. Learn
ing those fundamentals has really paid
off for me.
"Then I had the opportunity to go to
the 13ell Laboratories in New Jersey.
I worked on memory crystals ferro
electric crystals for use in digital com
puters. I learned how important research
is to the telephone business.
"After two years I came back to Min
nesota, to St. Cloud, to work in the
District Plant Engineer's Office. There
I made field studies of proposed con
struction projects and drew up plans to
guide the construction crews. This com
bination of inside and outside work
gave me invaluable experience.
"In July, 1955, 1 came to Minneapolis
as an Engineer in the Exchange Plant
Extension Engineer's Office. We do fore
castingnot of the weather, but of fu
ture service needs. Using estimates of
growth and economic studies, we make
our plans for the years ahead. We fig
ure out where and when new facilities
will be needed to meet future growth.
"All this has been preparing me for
a real future. You see, the telephone
company is expanding by leaps and
bounds. That's why it offers a young
man so many open doors."
Wally Walker's career is with Northwestern Bell
Telephone Company. Similar career opportunities
exist in other Bell Telephone Companies, and in
Bell Telephone Laboratories, Western Electric and
Sandia Corporation. Your placement officer has
