Nebraska Grid Fans Defend
Coach at Omaha Luncheon
Coach Bill Jennings got full
backing from the Omaha
Quarterback Club Monday
afternoon after the 31-0 de
feat by Kansas.
The Husker coach was giv
en standing ovations twice
during the noon .luncheon as
statements were made to the
effect that Jennings' remarks
had been taken out of con
text by reporters and team
references were unfair.
"Everyone has a right to
thelr.thoughts. No one Is with
out infallibilities. I have been
hung In effigy and maybe we
should Just drop the effigy
and be done with the whole
thing," Jennings said.
Jenning also declared that
he "had many fine friends in
Nebraska" and that he was
happy to apologize for any
thing he might have said.
Nebraska athletic director
Bill Orwig replied by saying
that he was glad Nebraska
had men on their coaching
staff like Jennings.

. Orwig said, "I am proud of
our football squad. They
stood up when the coaching
staff was castigated by the
student newspaper.
"I do feel that nil of us
who have had kids, want them
to play under fine individ
uals and that is happening at
Nebraska. And it is happen
ing under Bill Jennings."
Ed McCeechen of Omaha
took the microphone to say
that Jennings was tuoted out
of context and that, "Bill is
a fine gentleman and we owe
it to him to stand up and be
counted."
"I can't say they (Nebras
ka) haven't shown guts and
determination. It is unfair to
call them hitless Huskers,"

I Sports Signals)
I By Hal Brown 1
I have no intention of apologizing for anything that was
said in this column last Tuesday, regardless of what the
football team thinks I should do.
Although the letter was signed by all 51 members of
the football squad, I have very serious doubts that the let
ter originated with anyone onvthe squad
and that everyone who signed the letter
was sincere when inking his signature.
The letter mentions that Jennings has
given the state nation-wide recognition with
wins over Penn State and Pittsburgh in
1958, Oklahoma in 1959, Texas, Army, and
Minnesota in 1960.
The letter fails to mention that Jen
nings has also give the state recognition
with some first class flops. Flops such as
last year's dismal performance in losing to
Kansas State, 29-14. The Wildcats had been
able to win only one other game and that against weak
South Dakota State. The Wildcats were able to score
only 28 points against the South Dakota State squad. .
Another flop came in the Iowa Sttfre game when the
Huskers were helpless as the Cyclones scored an easy
18-6 win. This came only one week after the Huskers
had upset mighty Oklahoma.
The letter mentions the Minnesota game and the fact
that . Nebraska is the only team that has scored twice
against the Gophers. If the Huskers had played Minnesota
in the past two or three weeks, how many points do you
think Nebraska would have scored?
Since the Minnesota game, the Gophers have been
improving and the Huskers have been going downhill
rapidly. How do you explain the fact that a team can look
so good against Texas and Minnesota and then be so
lousy against Kansas State and Kansas?
But the flop to top all flops came Saturday when
the Huskers hit the bottoms of despair with arguments in
the huddle and gaining only 50 yards against the Jay
hawks. From the tone of the letter I received from the team,
I had the feeling that they were "fired up" and would
be ready for Kansas. They were sure ready. I'm glad
they weren't "fired up" any more than they were, or
the score would probably have been 60-0, instead of
31-0.
Maybe if the players would devote more time to pre
paring for the upcoming games than to writing letters
and leaving nasty notes on my desk, they could gain more
than 50 yards.
When the fans turn out to praise a coach like they did
in Omaha Monday after Saturday's 31-0 thrashing, maybe
the Huskers should lose the next one, 61-0, and the fans
would give Jennings a gold Cadillac
Maybe one reason Nebraska gained only 50 yards
was because the top two Husker ground gainers carried
the ball only three times. Bennie Dillard, the top rusher
with a 4.3 average carried the ball only once and gained
II of the 50 yards.
Pat Clare, the number two rusher, carried the ball
twice as many times as Dillard. Clare gained nine yards
on two carries. Clare is averaging 4.1 yards per carry.
But the two of them got hold of the ball only three times
for rushes and on those- three plays, Clare , and Dillard
gained nearly one-half of the total Nebraska yardage.
Nebraska's futile effort at trying a- new i offense fell
flat on its face, but nevertheless what was new about
it? The ends were split and Thornton was at right half
back, but it only served to give Thornton another angle
from which to hit the center of the line.
Another thought, why not give Faiman a chance to
play quarterback? The sophomore was not used Saturday
until late in the game and then only after Fischer was
injured. This is not speaking disparagingly of Fischer, but
Nebraska is going to have an inexperienced quarterback
next year if Faimaq or Ron Meade are not used in the
remaining games.

Husker Frosh Thinclad
Has 23-foot Broad Jump
By Janet Sack
A leap of 25-5 in the broad
jump seems incredible for a
high school boy of 18. Yet,
Victor Brooks from Savanna
la Mar, Jamaica, made such
a leap.
Brooks made the leap dur
ing a practice session about
three or four months ago. The
shy, soft-spoken boy's best ef-

FLYING FRESHMAN
Victor Brooks, freshman broad jumper from Jamaica,
brings an outstanding record as a broad jumper to Nebras
ka. Brooks has jumped 24 feet, two inches in competition
and has a 25-5 mark in practice. The Jamaican was per
suaded to attend Nebraska by former Husker great, Keith
Gardner.
fort in competition is 24-2.
His first attempts at broad
jumping came in 1956.
"At first, I couldn't even
jump 20 feet," Brooks said.
"I think my first attempts
were about 13 or 14 feet"
After he reached the 20
foot mark, Brooks increased
the distance of his leaps by
feet. First, he jumped 21 feet,
then he jumped 22; he
reached 23 feet, and then 24
feet. Finally, Brooks leaped
25-5.
The amazing thing about
his performances is that
Brooks had no one to coach
him. He learned to broad
jump out of books. Brooks
said the first he knew about
any kind of sport was through
movies, magazines, and
books. .
In addition to broad jump
ing, Brooks also does the hop,
step and jump. His best jump
in this event is 48-9.
"In Jamaica," Brooks
said, "we don't have track
meets set up like they do
here. The meets are set up
between inter-secondary
schools by the Jamaica Ama
teur Athletic Association."
Brooks was persuaded to
attend Nebraska by Keith
Gardner, former Husker
sprint ace, also from Jamaica.

Solid opportunities with solid state devices
A big part of Western Electrics job is to manu
facture the miniature "new arts" products that
are changing the science of communications.
It's a job which offers you a challenging career
a chance to plan new methods of mass pro
ducing ever-improving kinds of transistors, fer
rite devices, diodes, special purpose electron
tubes, etc.
You'll be with a company that is expanding
rapidly in this field. At present our Allentown
and Laureldale, Pa., plants are devoted exclu
sively to making electron devices, and a big
new plant is under construction in Kansas
City. The needs of the Bell Telephone System
for these products are increasing daily and
will multiply enormously with the introduc
tion of Electronic Central Office switching
now nearing trial operation. x
, These devices are changing the scene at all
our manufacturing plants as they go into the
startling new communications products devel
oped by our associates at Bell Telephone
Laboratories. From microwave transmission"
equipment to submarine cable amplifiers, our
products call for creative production engineer
ing, installation planning, and merchandising
methods. Our job for the Bell System and the
U.S. government has grown to the point where
we are now one of the nation's "Top 11" in
industrial sales. And your chance to play an
important part in our future growth is solid!
