In my final weekend of football predictions for the 1959
season, I picked only three of six right for a .500 mark giving
me a final season mark of 45 right and 20 wrong for a .692
percentage.
Most of the college teams completed their seasons with
Saturday's games and the spotlight will now
turn to basketball. But before we put away
the shoulder pads, let's take a final look at
the 1959 Nebraska football season.
Football Puzzler
The question many Nebraska fans will be
asking over coffee cups in the next few weeks
is, "How can a team look so good one week
and so terrible the next." . .
The Huskers started the season with a
20-0 loss to Texas but things looked promising
despite the loss. The following week, thev had
Nebraska fans thinking of days gone by as they scored a 32-12
triumph over Minnesota.
The 32-point performance tied the high total scored by
a Nebraska team ov er the Gophers. The next week, Nebraska
made It two wins in succession with a 7-6 squeaker over Ore
gon State and it looked like the Huskers were on their way to
a good season.
But then the Huskers ran into offensive trouble and
scored only on touchdown in three games as they lost all
three to Kansas 10-3, Indiana 23-7 and Missouri 9-0.
Nebraska was the toast of the conference when they
snapped Oklahoma's undefeated conference string at 74
games and the Huskers were back in the Orange Bowl pic
ture for a moment, only to drop out of contention the follow
ing week with a loss to Iowa State.
Coach Bill Jennings' squad again showed that they could
play football when they wanted to by stopping Colorado's
three-game winning streak and eliminating the Buffs from
the Bowl picture. Then Saturday In the saddest performance
of the season the Huskers lost to Kansas State in the season
finale.
What was the trouble? There has to be something wrong
with a team that can beat Oklahoma one week and then three
weeks later lost to a poor Kansas State team. I would say
Nebraska lacked spirited leadership, someone to build a fire
under the boys and get them up for the game mentally.
Something Lacking
The Huskers had the material for a better-than-average
football team but something was lacking and that something
was a desire to go all-out every minute. They played fired-up
football against Oklahoma and Colorado but were lackadais
ical against Iowa State, Indiana and Kansas State.
They illustrated in both the Iowa State and Kansas State
games that they could move the ball when they wanted to but
it seemed they didn't want to very often. After most of this
years' losses, the Husker players commented In the dressing
room after the game that they weren't up for the game men
tally. Why not? Certainly they had every "reason to want wins
over Iowa State and Kansas State. A win over the Cyclones
would have given them a good shot at the Orange Bowl. A
win against Kansas State would have given them third place
in the conference and their best record since 1954 but instead
they settled for a sixth place finish in the Big Eight.
When Biggie Munn was coaching at Michigan State, he
had a sign tacked over the dressing room door which read:
"The difference between a good team and a great team is a
little extra effort." Maybe Nebraska should have carried this
motto with them.
I think Nebraska's troubles began in the Kansas game
when quarterback Tom Kramer was injured and lost for the
season. Kramer could have been the leader Nebraska needed
and I think would have provided the fire to keep the rest of
the players going.
Sure, the Huskers have some fiery players but they are
underclassman, namely Pat Fischer, and an underclassman
cannot do the job. It takes either a senior or the head coach
and the Huskers lacked fire in both of those categories.
As I said before, there is something drastically wrong
when you can defeat teams like Oklahoma and Minnesota
and then lose to a far inferior team such as Kansas State, a
team whose only other win came against poor little South
Dakota State.
Physical Education Building
One final question. Why isn't the Physical Education
Building open on Saturday and Sunday af'rnoons? These are
the only times many students are able to take advantage of
the facilities for recreation.
I think Sunday afternoon is a popular time for basketball
and several students made the trip to the PE Building the
past Sunday afternoon only to find the doors locked.
This is something I think should be given some consider
ation by the person or committee in charge.
Huskcr's Fischer Leads
Big Eight Punt Returners
Pat Fischer holds a com
fortable lead over his closest
challenger as the leading
punt returner in the Big
Eight.
Fischer returned e Fg h t
punts for an average of 16.9
yards per return. Jatkie Holt
of Oklahoma is in second
place with 15 returns and a
10.9 yard average.
Dwight Nichols of Iowa
State holds down the third
spot with 13 returns for an
average of 9.4 yards. Fisch
er and Nichols have com
pleted the season while Holt
has one more chance to over
take Fischer for the lead.
Oklahoma ends its season
Saturday against Okla
homa State.
Gale Weidner of Colorado
is the leading passer with 91
completions out of 183 at
tempts for 1,132 yards. Dick

THIRD TIME Carroll Zaruba has again earned the nod
as the Daily Nebraskan Star of the Week for his l erforra
ance in a losing cause against Kansas State. This is the
third time this season that Zaruba has gained the award. .
He won it in the Kansas and Colorado games previously.
Zaruba led the Huskers in rushing Saturday with 126
yards in 13 attempts for an average of 9.7 yards per
carry.
Nebraska Soccer Club
Gains in Prominence
By Elmer Krai By this time students were
The Nebraska Soccer Club becoming more aware of the

has gained in stature and
prominence since it was origi
nally formed during the first
semester of the 1957-58 school
year.
It has risen in popularity
and prestige during the past
two years, but 'only because
of a tremendous effort put
forth by its originator, Mar
tin Carrencedo, from Spain.
Club Formed
In September, 1957, Car
rencedo formed a soccer club
without the help of the Uni
versity, and its Athletic de-j
partment and without any
other guaranteed financial as
sistance. The soccer club was
originally formed in order to
provide a sport for foreign
students who liked to play
soccer and to introduce the
sport to the midwest with the
hopes that it would catch on
with the American students.
After the first notice for
players appeared in the Daily
Nebraskan, 25 students re
sponded, but only 7 ended the
season playing regularly.
The first set of uniforms
and balls were donated by
the Globe Laundry Co.,-hence
the original name of the soc
cer club was "The Globetrot
ters." Despite all the handi
caps that go with a first year
team, the soccer club ended
the season with a 1-3-1 record.
New Faces
In the spring of 1958, new
faces showed up on the roster.
Such countries as Great
Britain, Iran, Mexico, Greece,
Spain, and Czechoslovakia
along with the USA were
represented.
Nebraska To Host Invitational
Wrestling Tourney Saturday
The University of Nebraska
will host the First Annual Ne
braska Invitational Regional
AAU Wrestling Tournament,
Saturday, Nov. 28, Husker
Wrestling Coach Bill Smith
announced.
Headlining the event will
be the appearance of the two
outstanding amateur wrest
lers in the United States in
recent years.
Terry McCann, Tulsa, Okla.,
former Iowa U. NCAA 115
pound champion, generally
conceded to be the most like
ly U.S. candidate for Olympic
wrestling honors in 1960, has
indicated that he will attend
the tournament. He has been
National AAU champion for
the past three years, since
winning two NCAA titles (1955
and 1956).
Sharing the headlines with
McCann will be Bill Weick,
also a two-time NCAA' cham
pion (157-pound class). Weick
wrestled for Iowa .State
Teachers College.
The tournament will be
open to any amateur wrest
ler registered with the AAU,
Smith, said. Wrestlers will be
able to register with the AAU
at the tournament, he added.
Rules for the invitational
will be a mixture of Olympic
and Collegiate rules. The pur
pose is to put more emphasis
on the fail (pinning the op
ponent), which in the past 15
years has been fading into
obscurity in collegiate wrest-

fact that a soccer team
existed and a few showed up
at Peter Pan Park to watch
the club in action. The spring
record reflected a 2nd place
finish in the tough Kansas
Nebraska League.
The "so c c e r" movement
picked up a little in the fall
of 1958 as the . total squad
numbered 18. Such stalwarts
as M a r t y n Bowden, Les
Heathcote, Herman Ridder,
Luis Molnar and Martin Car
rencedo led the club to a
4-4-1 record including the
championship of the Midwest
Soccer Tournament.
8-6 Record
The 1959 spring season was
even more successful. The
club had 16 regular players
with. Herman Ridder again
serving as coach.- The roster
included 3 U.S. students, 2 of
whom played regularly. An
8-6 record speaks for itself.
This fall the soccer club
ran into some financial dif
ficulties but it continued to
operate. Martin Carrencedo
was elected coach and such
veterans as1 Albert Arri-'
gunaga, Joe Luk, Luis Mol
ner, and Dan Bockelman led
the team to a 2-3 record.

ANNA KASHFI?
She was Mrs. Marlon Brando,
but is no longer. She insists
she was born Anna Kashfl.
But this is not her real name.
Her parents, she says, were
Indian. But this is not the
case. Who is the real Anna
Kashfi-why does she assume
an existence nother own?
In the current issue of Red- '

SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS:
THE MEN BEHIND TH3 HEADLINES
NAA's On-Campus Interviews
December 4
early iverv day you read of another ad
vance in science . . . whether it's a space
vehicle streaking toward Venus or a sub
marine gliding beneath the polar ice.
These are the events that make head- ,
lines... but even as they are announced
to the world, engineers and scientists are
planning new and greater achievements
-and research shows them the way.
Scientific research always has had an important role at
North American Aviation. Today, research projects are
underway at more than 185 laboratories in the six North
American divisions. They encompass the full scope of mod
ern science. i '
Is air stiffer than steel?
Not all research has the headline appeal of a space ship
or nuclear power. For example, research engineers at the
Autonetics Division, which designs and manufactures space
age navigation systems, found new and different ways of
building rotating bearings . . . and found that air is stiffer than
steel for some purposes. Improved gyroscopes and magnetic
recordings were important results of this research.
A cigarette's place inTesearch
Even the ordinary cigarette has a role in scientific research.
Scientists at the Aero-Space Laboratories, an organization
within North American's Missile Division, use a burning cig
arette in a still room to illustrate the difference between
laminar flow and turbulence in the boundary layer, the very
thin air space that lies along the outer skin of an aircraft or
missile. This research is part of a program to find ways to
protect'missiles, satellites and space ships from burning when
they re-enter the earth's atmosphere.
Toward the conquest of Space
The Rocketdyne Division has designed end built the bulk
of today's operating hardware in the high-thrust rocket field.
Explorer I, America's first satellite, was boosted into orbit by
a Rocketdyne engine . . . and three-fourths of the power for
Able IV-Atlas-man's first attempt to reach toward another
'planet -comes from liquid-propellant engines designed and
built by Rocketdyne. Researchers at Rocketdyne delve into
the chemistry of propellants, the physics of engine compo
nents and what happens within them, ignition of fuels, com
bustion of fuels, and the transfer of heat.
2,000 mph manned weapon system "
The Los Angeles Division is the home of next-generation
manned weapon system, the Mach 3 B-70 Valkyrie strategie
bomber, and America's first manned space vehicle, the
X-15. Research engineers in this division investigate manu
facturing techniques, conduct studies in aerodynamics, mate
rials and processes, and thermodynamics. They also work
with physiologists, biotechnologists, biophysicists, and psy
chologists to solve design problems concerning human capa-
bilities and limitations that arise from modern weapons and
research systems.
Building better Navy aircraft
Analysis of aircraft carrier operation is a major research
project at the Columbus Division. This division designed and
built the Navy's T2J Buckeye jet trainer and the Navy's
supersonic, all-weather A3J Vigilante. Research activities
are diverse here-from how to illuminate an aircraft cockpit
to developing unmanned vehicles and systems to perform
within the earth's atmosphere.
Developing the peaceful atom
The work at the Atomics International Division of North
American is part of a large national research effort aimed at
the peaceful atom. Success in the development of economical
power from the atom depends on thorough knowledge in
every phase of atomic power systems and their materials of
construction. Atomics International research reactors are in
service in Japan, Denmark, West Germany, West Berlin, and
Italy.
Opportunities for college graduates ;
Today at North American there is outstanding opportunity
for young engineers who want to share the unusual creative
problems that face science. You can rapidly build a sound
engineering career by working on the top-level projects now
underway. Visit your placement office where you'll find all
the facts about a challenging and rewarding future with
North American.
