From the story In which Bo Mc Millin denied rumors that he would leave Indiana. "Rumors have been heard for several years that McMillin would go to the University of Nebraska. The way is circuitous in the new reports. They have Major L. M. (Biff) Jones, the Nebraska coach, going to Rice Institute and Mc jklillin succeeding Jones as the Husker boss." Only as McMillin says, his con tract still has seven years to run. He was signed for ten years three years ago. And for those who'd to know, Jones was signed u-r five years when he came here, and has two more years to go on (hat contract. In the squib in Eddie Brietx' roiumn which had it that a Big Six co;ich would be signed at Rice, Pan Partner of the Kansas City Star seemed to think either Don Faurot or Tom Stidham was meant. All very interesting, isn't it? Nebraska ...Gregg McBride's all state team had Mancuso, Ma- tuua, Pomuloro and Ossowski.. sounds like Titt.-.That team of All-American sophomores which was named is fine, only the Lee Artoe of California who is named nt one tackle is a senior, not st pliomore . . . he will play in the Kast-West game. . .sports writers tf the California Daily Bruin, Bill Spaulding, and UCLA coach Babe llorrell, made predictions every week on football games which were published in the school pa per. . .Spaukling, former UCLA roach, and now athletic director had the best mark. Clay Cooper, reserve halfback ""' Blaine Currence, Missouri's ,u..tlng end, could have played with the Tiger basketball team in New York December 28, then taken a plane to Miami and reached there in plenty of time to piay in the Orange Bowl game, However, it's a rule at Mizzouthat Mudcnts be accompanied on such trips by faculty members. Rub is that there's another rule which says faculty members can't ride in airplanes, so the whole business is off and Cooper and Currence will just go with the football team. The biggest and smallest play ers ever to compete in the Last West game opposed each other... biggest was 2S5-pound Frank Tauly of Washington and Jeffer son. . .smallest was Butch Meeker, 140-pounder from Washington State. . .Meeker led the West to a 16-6 victory that year. . .Marvin Mesch has been elected captain of Oklahoma's basketball team. 2nd BIG WEEK!

The Huskers practiced Saturday, and met Sunday afternoon for a review of their play and mistakes in the 49-39 defeat they were handed by Indiana.
