the tail of Bill CHassford's startling
announcement to attempt to re
1 ain the Big Seven crown for the
I eighth consecutive year.
' Bud Wilkinson's Sooners brina
26-game win skein with them,
but that isn't all. Their ranks are
bolstered with All-American can
. . didates. They have a great atti
tude that accounts for some of
their success.
Some of the men that represent
the nation's No. 1 team are: Jim
my Harris, Tommy McDonald,
Bob Burris, Bo Bolinger, and Jer
ry Tubbs.
Harris is a Junior quarterback
vho has been called the most dan
gerous running signal caller in the
fischer, Gteenlavi
Lead NU .Offense
Willie Greenlaw and Rex Fischer are leading the Husker offense
With 5.0 averages. Fischer has netted 592 yards while Willie Is an even
100 behind him. Quarterback Don Erway continues to lead scoring with
65 markers.
Scouting reports and the exchange movie Indicate that Oklahoma
makes more use of the option play than the other Split-T teams the
Cornhuskers have faced.
This is undoubtedly due to the fact that the Sooner have two of
0'NneSt running .uarterbacfcs " Ihe ame, Jimmy Harris and Jay
Both Harris and O'Neil are great runners and very dangerous on
the option," Glassford said. "They rank with such Sooner stars at
Darrell Royal, Jack Mitchell, Gene Calame, and others."
As expected Nebraska has been tabbed a 21-point underdog by the
ddsmakers. After an early spread of 22 to 26, the odds dropped to 21
as the cold air hit.
The game will be carried as a part of the CBS Roundup of football
Saturday. Joe Foss will be the announcer.

It seems the 'free" press delights itself by the petty actions which
seem to hire and fire coaches and thus remedy situations. It is also to
be considered there are eleven players who attempt to perform to the
best of their ability and to date, I can't think of a worse morale builder
than tearing down the conditions which surround them. It seems no
one has ever thought that if criticism is to be aired, it could be of a
constructive nature. And most of all, static could be handled in the
off season.
Glassford himself has an adage that sums up the malignant situa
tion very adequately: "The intelligent have their thoughts in their
hearts; the stupid their thoughts in their mouths."

Bill Glassford resigned todav as
head football coach at the Univer

University athletics. Glassford's
resignation climaxes a series of
changes in the coaching personal
of the University which began with
Team's Comment

Captain Bill Taylor personally

football will bear this out."
the resignation of Geore "Potsv"
Clark as athletic director in 1953.
J. William Glassford was hired
to coach football at the Univer
sity in 1949 after his 1948 New
Hampshire University team had
gone undefeated. He rec-laced "Pot
sy" Clark who was made athletic
director, and in his first season
brought Nebraska from two wins
and seven losses to four wins and
five losses.
In 1950 Glassford produced the
best Nebraska team of the postwar
period. It won six, lost two and
tied one. Bob Reynolds was the
leading scorer In the nation and
was named to nearly every All
American team in the country. It
was after this season that Glass
ford signed his unique 5 and 5
contract. This contract called for
him to coach Nebraska for S years
at a base pay of $11,000 a year. At
the end of the 5 years, Glassford,

not the University, was to have
the option of renewing the contract.
The following year, 1951, Ne
braska had its worst season. The
Huskers, hampered by injury and
inexperience, won only from Iowa
State. Later Kansas State, which
had defeated Nebraska 7-6, forfeit
ed to the Huskers for using an in
elligible player. Criticism of Glass
ford began then and continued
through the next year although
Nebraska rallied to a 5-4-1 season.
In 1953 the team won 3, lost 6
and tied 1. Following this season
came the infamous players revolt.
The revolt ended when the Board
of Intercollegiate Athletics unani
mously supported Glassford. The
board was disbanded by the Re
gents and control of Athletics at
the University was vested in the
athletic director.
Last year the Huskers took sec
ond in the Big Seven and went to
the Orange Bowl. It looked like
Glassford would escape criticism
until the Big Red dropped a 34-7
decision to Duke.
The final chapter of Bill Glass
ford's story at Nebraska will be
written this Saturday when a Ne

claims is his best at the-Univer
