Intramural track finals are
scheduled for 7:00 tonight under
the east stadium.
The events include the 60 yard
dash which should produce a rec
ord with a top dual expected be
tween Keith Gardner of Jamaicia,
who was outstanding in the prelim
inaries, and Bennie Dillard, Texas
Speedster who ran 6.5 seconds in
rnnalifying. Gardner was timed at
6.3 seconds which is an intramur
al record.
Both hurdle events also should
be interesting to watch. Gardner
paced the qualifiers in these events
also with a 7.1 in the lows and
7.5 mark in the bighs. The first
time is a record and the latter
ties another mark.
The one lap x run will pit Bob
Miller, Dan Farrington, and
Charles Wollaston all of Alliance
aeainst each other, in what could
produce another top event. Several
other men including Don iicKe,
Don Phillips, Gary Daugherty, and
Bob Nieman could also vie tor Donors.

Nebraska's basketball team
starts a week of seclusion away
from the field of action after ab
sorbing a 78-63 setoack at the hands
of the Buffaloes from Colorado last
Saturday night.
The Bushmen encountered the
same old problem ot hitting the un
explainable cold period when noth
ing goes right. During the period
the Buffaloes scored 14 points while
the Big Red could only muster a
2-polnt effort.
Nebraska threw avzone defense
against the Buffs during the first
half and for a part of the second
period. But, the scoring dearth
forced the Nebraskans into a man-to-man
defenseAfter that the boys
from Boulder had little trouble
scoring.
Rex Ekwall and Charlie Smith
were high men for the Huskers on
the point ladder with 14 and 15
markers respectively. Jim Ranglos
hit 22, 18 of which came in the
first half for 'Colorado.
Nebraska also faced an old nem
isis in the form of missed free tos
ses. Colorado had a terrific aver
age at the charity line while the
Big Red had trouble hitting the
.500 mark.
The Cornhuskers hung on during
the first half and trailed by a 36
39 deficit. Then the drought set
change of baskets in the second
half brought the Huskers to a 42
39 deficit. Then Die drought wet
in and they fdtind themselves trail
ing by 20. Then the Buff subs en
tered to fini3h off the first Big
Seven opponent for the defending
champions.
Jjrry Bush's cagers have a one
week lay-off before they tangle
with the Missouri Tigers at the coli
seum Monday, Jan 16. The Husk
ers will carry a 3-8 record into
that contest. Nebraska met the
boys from Columbia in the Big
Seven Pre-season Tournament at
Kansas Cfty and received a 71-66
lacing. They matched the Tiger out
put during the second half of that
game after trailing by five points
throughout the first half.

Bob Armagast, with a 56.1 will
probably scrap it out in the 440
yard dash.
Biff Morrison, Mccook iresnman
distance man was top qualifier in
the 880 but will be challenged by
Gary Hoffman and several other
top distance performers.
In the open mile run no one
knows who will be in the top run
ning because of the fact that there
were no qualifying heats in this
event. Unless Morrison devotes full
time to the half, he and Hoffman
are again expected to scrap it eut.
Dick Skold led the qualifiers in
shot put at 4'9". His throw how
ever isn't too far ahead of that by
Ken Pollard 47'", Bob Oberlin
46'9", and Jerry Brown 46'8".
High jump will pit Duane Smith
of York, state high school record
holder, against Dale Knotek of
Holdrege, former holder in what
could also prove to be a top event.
Broad jump will again pit Gard
ner against Dillard. Gardner led
the qualifiers with a jump of 21'7"
one nch ahead of his opponent.
Bernie Randolph of Lincoln is fa
vored to cop the pole vault but
should have some top competition
from Ken Pollard. This event could
produce a record.

It's all but official now.
Nebraska is striking out into big
time football.

ship" and "we'll set our sights on
the highest pla
teau." Athletic Di

Chancel lor
Hardin says as

By BRUCE BRUGMANN
Staff Sports Writer
at Southern Cal, pointed out the
universal danger plaguing big time
football in a recent Saturday Eve
ning Post article.
- "You may read that faculty lead
ers have agreed to curtail spring
practice, limit athletic scholarships
or take other measures to deera
phasize college football. But the
decrees actually have little effect.
I :;... ,
Lai
Brugmann
has publicly, on
two occasions, expressed complete
confidence in Orwig, Elliott and
their policies.
To those who accept this new
philosophy with excitement and
it seems that almost everyone has
I would offer two reservations.
First of all, Nebraska has not
been a patsy in the past. The last
two years produced two second
places in the Big Seven, an Orange
Bowl bid and the best conference
record since the Rose Bowl team
of 1940.
Grave Danger ...
Secondly, there is the grave and
everpresent danger that the insti
tutional integrity of Nebraska
might be seriously endangered. It
has happened and is happening
now in many colleges and univer
sities throughout the country that
are supporting high voltage football
programs.
In one of the few studies of its
kind, Richard I. Miller, a Nebras
ka graduate' and four-time win
ner of the Big Seven Pole Vault
Championship, showed conclusive
ly in his book, ""The Truth About
Big Time Football" that the top
18 teams of 1951-52, with but oc
casional exceptions, were all forced
to use high power recruiting me
thods, scholastic concessions and
unauthorized a i d to get and to
keep the football players that made
their teams nationally prominent.
Loss of Respectability . . .
Almost all of the 18 schools, Mil
ler showed by statistics, state
ments of colleges presidents and
coaches and selected press dis
patches, lost a degree of academic
respectability.
The top three teams of 1955
Oklahoma, Michigan State and
Maryland have been placed on
probationary terms for flagrant
violation of conference and NCAA
regulations.
Jeff Cravath, former head coach
"Nearly all colleges playing big
time schedules have been forced
into the open market to obtain
their raw material. They must bid
for the best players and make
concessions to keep them.
"To get winning teams, colleges
must violate the rules they them
selves made."
Unfortunate, Disgraceful ...
It is unfortunate and disgrace
ful that many coaches and admin
istrators must implicitly resign
themselves to former Oregon coach
Jim Aiken's classic comment: 'If
you have to choose between break
ing the rules and losing games,
wouldn't it be better to break the
rules? If you lose your games,
you're certain to be fired. If you
break the rules, you have to be
caught before you're fired."
This, then, is the danger of over
emphasis, unauthorized subsidiza
tion and special .concessions at the
University a danger which is all
too likely and all too imminent to
go unrecognized.
I like football, good football, just
as well as anyone else and I'm
looking forward to seeing it played
with the nation's best in Memorial
Stadium.
Academic Dignity ...
But I do not want to see this
kind of football at the expense of
the academic dignity and reputa
tion of the University.
I want to see a football pro
gram which, as the Board of Inter
collegiate Athletics stated in 1954,
. . . "can be successfully tested in
the lights of academic scrutiny,
financial investigation and Ameri--can
sportsmanship as defined by
society, conference rules and ac
creditation regulations."
Let's trust this can be done.

There is a possibility that he
may drop from the University

Young scientist
works on new ways
to improve metals
Today scientists and engineers face one of
the toughest barriers of all the "metal
barrier." Modern technology has progressed
bo rapidly that today's metals can't meet the
tremendous demands placed upon them. For
such fields as aviation, electronics, atomic
energy, present metals must be improved and
new kinds of materials must be developed.
One of the young men playing a role in
this new and important field is 30-year-old
Dr. Roland P. Carreker, Jr.
Carreker's Work Interesting, Vital
As a research associate in the General Elec
tric Research Laboratory's Metals and
Ceramics facility, Carreker's chief concern
is the improvement of metals through new
processing techniques.
In his work, Dr. Carreker has dealt -with
such important metallurgical problems as
metal failure in high-speed turbine rotors,
determining the strength of pure metals
from 425F, the temperature of liquid
hydrogen, to 2,800F and economic studies
of new metallurgical processes.
25,000 College Graduates at General Electric
When Carreker came to General Electric in
1947, he already knew the work he wanted
to do. Like each of our 25,000 college
graduate employees, he is given a chance to
grow and realize his full potential. For Gen
eral Electric has long believed this: When
fresh young minds are given freedom to
make progress, everybody benefits the in
dividual, the company, and the country.
