Sports Sidelights . . .
... by Don Willey
Sports Illustrated has proved
what many coaches and student
bodies in the Big Eight have al
ways known. In a table of statis
tics presented in their special Bas
ketball issue they proved that the
Big Eight is one of the top bas
ketball conferences in the nation.
The win-lost, record of the Big
Eight is the top record for any
conference. In the season of 1956
57 it chalked up a record of 45
wins and 16 losses for a .738 win
percentage.
The Atlantic Coast conference is
pushing the Big Eight for the hon
or, however. A record of 58-21
gives it a .734 percentage.
In games played against the AP
list of liast year's top 20 teams
in the nation the Atlantic Coast
conference leads with a 5-3 rec
ord, and the Big Eight is second
with a 7-9 record.
The Big Eight let down when
ft came to placing teams in the
top ten in the period of 1949-57. It
placed 5 teams in the top ten in
this period. The Southeastern con
ference, the Big Ten, and the Mis
souri Valley lead in this depart
ment. Few basketball coaches deny
that the NCAA is the top tourna
ment of the year. Therefore rec
ords compiled in the NCAA might
be said to be good measures of
a conference's strength.
The Big Eight has finished
fourth m this department, but
that is because Oklahoma State's
records have not been included.
The West Coast Conference and
the Mid-Atlantic conference are
one-two in these standings. Both
conferences have their records
welled by the super teams of
two colleges.
The West Coast Conference rec
ord was made chiefly by San
Francisco. The San Francisco
teams which had Bill Russell as
nucleus were unbeatable and com
plied a 12-1 record. The Mid-Atlantic
record was swelled through
the efforts of such competitors as
Tom Gola who sparked LaSalle
to a record of 9-1 in NCAA play.
The third place conference is
the semi-pro "Big Ten where sports
are worshipped second only to re
ligion. Viewing these records objective
ly it is obvious that the Big Eight
has nothing to feel ashamed of
when it comes to putting out top
baskegball teams.
The average position of the Big
Eight in all these statistics is
third. The only other conference
which can match that record is the
Southeastern Conference with Ken
tucky padding the figures with its
great teams.
These statistics provide a sound
reason for Sports Illustrated mak
ing a comment about the Nebras
ka Basketball team tha on he
surface appears puzzlitng.
In evaluating Nebraska's team
the magazine says, "In any other
league Nebraska would vastly im
prove its last year's standings."
After seeing three. Nebraska
games there is little doubt that
the Cornhuskers are a vastly im
proved team.
Three newcomers may start
Monday after their showing in the
Purdue game. Bob Mayo, Her
schel Turner and Willey Fitzpat
rick have showed that any team
would be proud to include them
on its roster.
It is no coincidence that all
three of these men are heady ball
players and can make the right
play at the right time. This was
exhibited very well in the Purdue
game.
Probably the most interesting
aspect of their play is their abil
ity to pass. Time after time they
bring the audience out of their
seats for applause.
Four games are scheduled in
the intramural league this week.
On Tuesday Dental College plays
Navy ROTC on Court 1 in the P.
E. building at 5 p.m., and Phi
DelU Theta will play Delta Upsi-
lon A on Court 2 at 5 p.m.
On Wednesday Phi Kappa Psi A
will play Sigma Phi Fpsilon A
on Court 1 and Sigma Chi A will
play Kappa Sigma on Court 2.
Both games will be at 5 p.m. in
the P. E. building.

at Boeing
Here'i a thought that may help you decide whtcri
company, and which industry, would offer you thg
most career advantages: if you're interested in
getting a head start on the future it's a good idea to
gain early experience in the use of revolutionary
new materials, new alloys, new fuels, new processes,
Boeing, by the very nature of its pioneering work,
is among the first companies in the world to
work with the newest materials. Boeing
assignments are interesting for other reasons,
too. At Boeing you'll work on such famous
projects as the 707, America's first jet transport:
the global B-52, the nation's principal long-rang,
jet bomber; the supersonic BOMARC guided
missile, and top-secret programs that probe
beyond the frontiers of the known. At Boeing
you'll be in a young, expanding industry, '
one with its major growth still ahead.
There are many other career advantages about
which the Boeing representatives can give you
full information. Boeing's company-paid graduatt
study program, for instance, and the
company's merit reviews, which every six
months give each Boeing engineer and
scientist a personal opportunity for recognition
and advancement You'll also be interested in
learning that at Boeing engineers and scientists
hold positions right up to the top.
So whether you plan a career in civil, mechanical

or in physics or mathematics (or related fields),
drop in for a person-to-person discussion
about your future at Boeing.
