At 2 p.m. Saturday, Jerry Bush's cagers will appear on your local television set. Bush has named a starting line up that includes two seniors, Chuck Smith and Norm Coufal, one junior, Rex Eckwall, and two sophomores, Lyle Nannen and Don Smidt. Smith is a two-year letterman and a regular for the better part of those seasons is co-captain and the team spark. Chuck stands only 6-1 but grabs a good percentage of therebounds. Coufal is the steadying influence for the Bushmen with his poise and accuracy. Eckwall, tabbed as one of Ne braska's greats as a freshman, is living up to these advanced notic es. His near-perfect timing allows him to sweep the boards against tnller opposition. Ke and Smith pro vide rebounding strength even though they do not stretch into the stratospheric regions as do most of their contemporaries. Nannen is a smooth-shooting 6 foot 3 inch soph who crashed into the first five after co- captain Whitey Buel suffered a pre-season crackup. He edged out Gary Reim ers, another soph, at the first of this week. Smidt is probably one of the smal ler pivot men in captivity, al though he stands 6'4".

You cannot obtain the same filtering action in any other cigarette. The Viceroy filter -wasn't just whipped up and rushed to market to meet the new and skyrocketing demand for fil tered cigarettes. Viceroy pioneered. Started research more than 20 years ago to create the pure and perfect filter. Smokers en masse report that filtered Viceroys have a q finer flavor even than cigarettes without filters. Rich, satisfying, yet pleasantly mild. Viceroy draws so easily that you wouldn't know, without q looking, that it even had a filter tip and Viceroys cost only a penny or two more than cigarettes without filters! That's why more college men and women smoke VICEROYS than tny other filter cigarette . . . that's why 'VICEROY is the largest selling filter cigarette in the world ! maiuiiiw.iiiwnw iiimwmi iiiiiiiiiii IP" i'.11 ".

Coiirtny Lincoln Journal SMITH By BOS COOK Sports Editor The Nebraskan learned Thurs day that Bill Glassford's successor has been "picked-" Though there has been no offi cial contract between the Univer sity and this coach, reliable sourc es have revealed that a contract ual agreement actually exists be tween a "group of interested indi viduals" and the next coach. Informed Lincoln sources say that the coach reached in this in formal agreement is Pete Elliott, backfield coach at the University of Oklahoma and former Michigan University football star. According to authoritative infor mation, the contract seems to be an option which stipulates that the prospective coach (Elliot) cannot negotiate any other coaching obli gations until he is either hired by the University or released from this present commitment. This legal agreement is known to have been in effect for some time, possible for three or four weeks, available contacts disclosed. Whether or not the University wiil formalize this agreement and hire Elliot remains to be seen. Some people close to the athletic department have speculated that Bill Orwig's confidence in hiring a coach by Jan. 1 could be, in part, based on this contractual : ..... .-.

Orwig, University Ath letic Director, has stated that a new coach would be procured in time to represent Nebraska at a coaches' conference on the West Coast. The Omaha World-Herald quoted an Oklahoma source Thursday mor ning as saying that "contact has been made and Elliott is interest ed." "If Nebraska doesn't get him," WAA FAIRER SIDE Tournaments In Full Swing SAROL WTLTSE Intramurals had a slight rest with vacation, but the schedule of tournaments is now back in full force.

They were paced by Monroe Usher and Paul Schorr who together collected 30 of the Fijis 42 points. Individual high scorer for the meet was Jerry Farrell. Farrell grabbed two firsts and a second for a total of 19 points but since he didn't swim for a house his points didn't count towards the t n trophy. records were broken dur ing ue evening.

Congratulations to the Girl's Dorm for proving that the Kappa Deltas are not unbeatable. The Dorm not only won the volleyball tournament by downing the KDs 48-10, but they also received many comments about their spiker who was tremendous.

Each team will play only one game per night, and it is a double elimination tourna ment with Margie Edwards charge. the Soonerland informant contin ued, "some other school will. He's too good a man to hold here as an assistant." When Elliott was in Lincoln for the Oklahoma football game, he appeared on Bill King's KOLN-TV show, neither affirming nor deny ing a question as to whether he would be Nebraska's next football coach. However, he did say he was def initely "interested." Possible official announcement of ho the new coach will be could be made at a meeting scheduled late Monday afternoon by Orwig. In a letter sent to all members of the football team, Orwig said he want ed all players to attend this "very important meeting." Other observers close to the Uni versity football scene feel the an nouncement will be made sooner, maybe within the next two or three days. .. Orwig, on a speaking trip in Ohio, was not available for com ment Thursday afternoon on the University campus. Orwig spoke at the Banquet of Champions at Toledo. According to statements he plans to contact prospective coaches on this trip. Orwig has stated that he plans to be at Iowa City to attend the in augural basketball game of the Huskers against Iowa Saturday aft-e-noon. In the mean time Elliot is in Eloomington, Indiana, on a speak ing engagement. Some observers feel that a meeting to further ne gotiations might come about. Meanwhile many other names have been thrown into the hat for the position. The latest to have been supposed ly contacted is Ara Parseghian, head grid mentor at Miami Uni versity of Ohio. His current squad was ranked number 15 in the na tion on most polls. Miami tangles many Big 10 op ponents and has to its credit wins over Northwestern this year and Indiana and Marquette last sea son. Word came from Oklahoma that Sooner line coach Gomer Jones, former Husker line coach, was cot interested in the job. Another name on the growing list already mentioned is Dave Nel son, head coach and Athletic Di rector at. the University of Dela ware, who recently was quoted aa stating he was not interested in the job and was perfectly satisfied with his present position. Orwig's visit to Iowa City may also draw more names into the picture. Four Michigan graduates are now serving on the Iowa coach ing staff. Orwig is also a Michi gan grad and former coach there. If the official announcement of Elliott's appointment is released it wiU end two weeks of speculation and second guessing by the Ne braska press and sports fans. It will be the beginning of a new saga of Cornhusker football.
