Nebraska football Coach
Bob Devaney today doused
rumors that he had been ap
proached by the University
of Miami for the head coach
ing job there.
Devaney told the Daily Ne
braskan that, "I have no com
ment on this because no one
from Miami has contacted
me at all about a coaching
job."
"These rumors have built
Up in Miami and I don't know
what the television report
. u -
s Miami-1
yoim
was all about," Devaney said.
Nebraska's Orange Bowl
bound coach added that no
other school had contacted
him, nor had he contacted
them. He reiterated an earlier
statement saying," The only
reason I was on the Miami
campus was to set up practice
sessions for the team."
Devaney's remarks killed
much Miami claiming and
Lincoln speculating that he
had conferred with Miami of
ficials about retiring Andy
- i r i i i L
vjusiaisua s neau post.
The "television report" that
Devaney referred to was a
Miami sports show narrated
by Clure Mosher at WCKT-
TV. Mosher had said outright
that Devaney had accepted
the Hurricane post while on
the campus to arrange fa
cilities for the Nebraska Or
ange Bowl preparation.

ami Herald says Miami of
ficials are definitely going to
offer Devaney the job, but
want to raise 25,000 dollars
to lure "the successful Wy
oming and Nebraska coach
with.
The Herald quoted Miami
President Dr. Henry King
Stanford as saying, "We are
definitely interested in De
vaney, but we are also in
terested in Bo Peterson of
Florida State and others."
Devaney, who has compiled
an 18 and 3 record since com
ing to Lincoln, is also re
portedly being considered for
the head coaching job at
Notre Dame where Hugh De-
vore is not expected to return.
Meanwhile, bad weather
keeps the Scarlet team in
doors. No contact scrimmages
were scheduled by Devaney
and his staff before the Flori
da trip.
Ticket Manager Jim Pitt
inger reports that over 8,000
ticket orders have been re
ceived at the Coliseum office
by Friday night "and the
count is still rising.
Pittinger emphasized that
the last chance to reserve
tickets Is Friday. All persons

level will take end zone seats.
Any cancellations by the
first 6,000 will automatically

of the major bowl games
through the years.
The two began research
seven years ago and drew
upon their bowl coverage for
the newspaper to point up the
highlights and interesting
facts of each game. There are
lineups statistics and many
historic photographs.

Rood Awakening
The "oldtimers" will tell you that basketball isn't what
it used to be. They will tell you that the game today Is
strictly a battle of big, tall oafs who shoot (or dunk) five
feet out or less. .
To the advocates of the "true cage sport" of yester
year, there is no finesse or strategy in the game today.
It is simply a matter of height.
Well, these points can be questioned. Although the
little man has been shut out of picture to a certain extent,
today's basketball has become a complicated system of
many, many fine points. The offense, in particular, is the
area that has become more complex instead of simpler.
Were there anywhere near the variety of shots then?
Were the fine points like position, play patterns and foul
attracting really in evidence? No.
But, there is an aspect of today's game that is in
fact detrimental to its character ... and that is the ex
cessive fouling that seems to be the trend in college and
high school ball. Rules have been changed to promote
closer and more strict officiating, but this has merely
served as an additional problem rather than a solution.
This became painfully evident Monday night when
Nebraska and Texas Tech combined for 48 personals and
four consequent technicals In their "basketball game."
When neither team could generate an offense that
amounted to much, the frustrations mounted and the de
fense and rebounding became tough affairs. Officials con
tinued to whistle the close ones, which is their duty, and
the game turned into a circus.
The Husker's game is no isolated phenomenon. In
another game last Monday night, St. Louis and Iowa
hacked at it for 69 fouls in one contest. Seven players
left the game on personals and a near brawl was the
feature of the evening.
It would appear that one should develop finesse at the
free throw line, rather than at regular floor play. In
fact, the free throw might be given two points Instead
of one because it is gaining that much importance in
close games. Another thing, you just can't get hacked
or pushed at the charity stripe.
Crowd reaction to the fouling fiasco of Monday also
brings ill repercussions. Husker fans, always exuberant,
were out of line this time. Booing and the throwing of
paper cups on the floor marked what might have been
the most disgraceful Coliseum crowd showing in a long
while.
The missiles and the noise were prompted by some
questionable calls by the officials, who probably missed
many fouls that occurred in the rough game.
It gets pretty bad when the home coach has to ask
his own fans to show some sportsmanship. And that is
what Joe Cipriano had to do. Even then, another salvo of
boos broke out while he was speaking.
Open disrespect and the very real danger to players
as result of the ice-filled cups that were thrown prompted
Cipriano and Athletic Director Tippy Dye to issue a joint
release Tuesday.
- "There is no place for such poor sportsmanship in ath
letics," Cipriano said. "It not only is tremendously dfs
courteous, but can be very dangerous to players on both
teams. This isi why we are asking our fans to back us
with enthusiasm ... but also with enthusiastic good sports
manship." Dye stressed that "courteous treatment" while on
the road is a reciprical affair. We should treat their play
ers as we would like our team to be treated away from
home.
The real source of the crowd's anger was the poorly
played ball game. Officials are always there to take the
blame. Coach Cipriano should be left to fielding a winning
team, and not have to worry about the conduct of Ne
braska fans.

Things Happen at Ford Motor Company !
THE 10,6-r.1iLri
EMGIMEERIHG TEST
THAT SET OVER .08
C'OTJ I'JOHLD OOCCOS
It began September 21 in Florida, when a team of four
1964 Comets, specially equipped and prepared for
high-speed driving, set out to do the equivalent of four
earth orbits at Dayfona International Speedway 100,000
miles at speeds well over 100 miles an hour, round
the clock for 40 days, through weather fair and foul.
They did it, all four of them, and they made history!
They did it in the full glare of publicity. In semi-tropical
heat. In the teeth of torrential squalls that fringed two
hurricanes. Including time out for refueling and mainte
nance, the lead car averaged over 108 miles an hour
toppling over 100 national and world records I
For all practical purposes this was an engineering trial
the most grueling test of staying power and durability
ever demanded of a new car. Only near perfection
could stand the punishment dished our to parts end)
components hour after hour, mile after mile. Brakes,
engines, transmissions, ignition systems every single
part a pawn in a grim game of truth or consequence,
with fo'al product quality the stake. And they all coma
through hands down!
Now that it's over and in the record books, what doe',
it mean? New proof of Ford-built stamina end dura
bility! New evidence that Ford-built means better builtl(
Yes and more, it is a direct reflection of the confidence
and creative know-how, the spirit and spunk of Ford
Motor Company's engineering, styling and manufac
turing team men who find rewarding adventure in
technical breakthroughs.
More proof of the exciting things that happen of Ford
Motor Company to bring brighter ideas and better
built cars to the American Road.
