State Of Indecision
By GEORGE MOYER
Staff Sports Writer .
Nebraska Athletic Director, Bill
Orwig blasted the policy of the
athletic department of the Univer
sity of Washington, Thursday.
In a telephone interview from
St. Louis, where he is attending
at football coaches convention, Or
wig said, "I honestly don't know
what the situation is. This is the
doggonedest shuffle you ever
saw.
"I don't like the way Washing
ton has proceeded. They are hunt
ing a football coach. I have never
stolen a coach. Stealing coaches
is a rotten thing to do."
Washington athletic direc
tor, George Briggs said, "I have
been unable to contact Orwig
bout this situation.- We were un
aware that there were any hard
feelings over the matter. If there
are, wt are sorry."

Athletes Association will be on

in the Coliseum later on from
9:30-11 that night.

Briggs also stated that "Wash
ington doesn't have a head foot
ball coach yet."
Orwig's reply to Briggs state
ment was, "I assume when there
is an announcement to be made,
we will make it simultaneously in
Nebraska and Seattle that Wash
ington has a new coach and I am
trying to hire one."
Meanwhile, amid growing ru
mors that he will accept a $17,000
offer to become head football
coach at the University of Wash
ington, Nebraska coach Pete El
liott remained silent Thursday
night.
The personable young man who
once quarterbacked the Michigan
powerhouse teams of the late for
ties and more recently helped Bud
Wilkinson build his gridiron ter
rors at the University of Oklaho
ma, has become the object of a
tremendous tug of war between
college athlete and one profession
al athlete for the two-hour period.
The Baptist Student House will
have for its guests Erskine and
Krisher. Erskine is a pitcher for
the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers. He is
the holder of several major league
records including the World Series
single game strike out record. He
also pitched a no-hit game last
summer against the cross town
rivals the New York Giants.
Krisher is a All-Big Seven tackle
with the National Champion Okla
homa Sooners. Although taking a
back seat in publicity to several
teammates he was one of the im
portant cogs in the drive toward
the National Championship.
Speaking at the Lutheran House
will be Feller and Robinson. Fel
ler, was star pitcher with the
Cleveland Indians for 20 years.
He retired after last season with
an incredible record. Included are
several strikeout records and three
no-hit games.
Robinson was a halfback with
the University of Pittsburgh this
fall. He was the top draft choice
of the Chicago Bears professional

football team two years ago.
Presby House will host Kell and
Thomas. Kell is third baseman
for the Baltimore Orioles. He also
is a previous American League
batting champion. Kell started his
major league career with Detroit
and later on starred for the Chi
cago White Sox.
Thomas, like Krisher, is a All
Big Seven footballer from Okla
homa. The junior halfback last
season was one of the nations
leaders in rushing. He also was
the top scorer in the NCAA in
1956.
Also accompanying the athletes
will be Don McClanen National
Director of the Fellowship of
Christian Athletes. McClanen prob
ably will attend each meeting for
a short period of time.
The N Club meeting is open to
all varsity lettermen, freshmen,
and would be athletes.
Some members of the group will
appear on KOLN TV from 12-12:45
Sunday afternoon. They will be
accompanied by Rex Knowles,
University Pastor.
To
Be Hosts
Colorado will play host to the
Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday
night in the Colorado Fieldhouse.
Nebraska scored a brilliant 74-52
victory over the Buffs Monday
night at the Coliseum in a game
which was the Big Seven Confer
ence opener for both schools.
Sox Walseth, Colorado's fresh
man coach is beset with problems.
His team, which finished second
in the Big Seven season tourna
ment, was nationally ranked until
they met Jerry Bush's determined
Huskers. Nebraska scored on 68
of their shots from the floor Mon
day, and it will be this kind of
tremendous shooting the Buffs will
have to cope with if they expect
to master the Bushmen.

Chancellor Clifford Hardin said
that he would "prefer that Elliott
consult with me before he makes
his decision.
"Of course, if he decides to go
that's another thing. As things
stand now the important thing is
that the sooner we know what he's
going to do the better." He's the
only one who can make the de
cision." A former football coach at Kan
sas State, Bill Meek, who special
izes in rebuilding losing football
teams has been quoted as saying,
"I always figured that Nebraska
has the best chance to catch Okla
homa. It has the facilities, the tran
sition and the drawing power that
no other School in the Big Seven
except Oklahoma has. I always sort
of hoped I'd be lucky enough to
be offered that job someday. If I
were Pete, I'd stay right there:"
The Nebraska football squad
made its stand on the issue clear
when they sent Elliott a telegram
urging him to stay at Nebraska.
