Team Tells 'True Story1
Of Coach Controversy
Thirty Players Express Opinions
In Meeting With
By GEORGE PAYNICH
Sports Editor
"We want the true story
brought out."
These were the sentiments of
over 30 University football play
ers .at a meeting Detween
members of the current varsity
snuad and members of the press
and radio Thursday night at
the Union.
With Max Kitzelman and Bob
Smith atiner as SDokesmen. the
members presented a statement
clarifying: their position in tne
controversy. Thirty-four play
ers in all signed this statement,
which is published below.
THE PLAYERS were extremely
critical of the reporting that has
been presented to the people of
the state of Nebraska by the
larger dailies, and disclosed this
as their main purpose of the
meeting.
Before delivering the state
ment, members of the group
disclosed how the now well
known and controversial petition
was originated.
A eroun of eitrht players, in
cluding Smith, Kitzelman, Bob
Oberlin, Bill Holloran, Dan
Brown, Rex Fischer, Ken
Moore and Jim Yeisley held a
second meeting after their
earlier meeting with Athletic
Board members. Dr. Beggs and
Dr. Ireland, discussing the case.
It was then decided to gather
the smiarl members where the
idea was finally made a reality.
The group emphasized me
point that no outsider helped
in this operation or was in any
way responsible for its content.
The players repudiated earlier
newspaper reports that alumni or
former players had originated
the idea.
Following is the complete
statement together with the
signatures attached to it.
We, the active varsity, do as
a unit make this situation public
as the truth.
The actions that we have
undertaken were our own do
inr and we were not in
fluenced from outside parties.
It was the whole team ina
was behind it, not a few dis
gruntled Dlavers. Our stand is
not that Coach Glassford is a
taskmaster or a. slave driver,
but that this ultimate action was
a result of friction between
Glassford and the players over
the past years.
No one on the squad ever
knew exactly how he stood with
the coach and never felt free
to talk to him as an individual.
We would like the public to
know the element of our fear:
That fear being that if a
player does or says the wrong
thing, he will be ridiculed, em
harassed and be faced with the
threat of losing his scholarship
or never having the opportunity
to play again.
We do not feel that we can

racial or religious affiliation was
the target of a resolution pro
posed by the Student Council.
The Council proposed banning
organizations which discriminate
against prospective members on
grounds of race or religion, but
a question arose as to the au
thority of the Council to do so.
A SEMINAR question, "Are
Freshmen Properly Prepared?"
drew opinions from several fac
ulty members. Some blamed
students, and others blamed high
schools for incomplete prepara
tion, while still others felt prep
