"Here at General Electric," says Penn R. Post, 24-year-old
marketing trainee, "you hear a lot of talk
about the future even as far ahead as 1978. In

Season
NORMAN, Okla. Matt Mann,
Oklahoma's 73-year-old swimming
coach who starts his 50th coaching
season this winter, is cheerful
about the Sooner prospects for
1958.
"We should have a better team
this year," he says. "Our sopho
mores will give us an added boost.
Our chances are excellent in the
Big Eight and we should improve
our seventh place finish in the
nationals."
Five lettermen are lost from

The highlight of the holiday season was the Big
Eight Basketbal Tourney in Kansas City, Dec. 26, 27,
28 and 30.
The University of Kansas Jayhawks captured tha
crown for the second year in a row and settled the argu
ment of the season. That argument being: who is better
Kansas or Kansas State.
Wildcat supporters will claim that the championship
game was no indication of Kansas State power because
of the fact that Bob Boozer missed the contest Sporta
scribes covering the event seemed i
to disagree.
They answered with one word,
Chamberlain.
Stilt Better Than Ever
Sports writers at Kansas City
seemed to feel that Chamberlain
has improved tremendously. He
moves a great deal quicker than
he did last season and his foul
shooting has also shown some im
provement. Another reason why Kansas
should have a successful season is
the fact that the remainder of the
Jayhawk squad has learned to play
with the big Philadelphia junior.
They are getting the ball to him
in the post and that Is probably
the main reason why Chamberlain
is keeping a steady high average.
I don't believe that I'm going
out on a limb when I say that as
long as Chamberlain is at KU, the
other seven clubs in the Big Eight
might as well set their sights on
second place.
A Champion Emerges
Bellevue's Dan Brand, who was
just another Husker wrestler last
season, has suddenly emerged as
Nebraska's big hope for . the Big
Eight heavyweight wrestling crown.
Over the holidays, Brand picked
up both the Iowa Teachers' Invi

heavyweight titles. He has won
