Congratulations to the Huskers on- a fine effort at
Iowa State. The only disappointing factor of the game
was that two Huskers were banished while equally guilty
Iowa State gridders failed to get the thumb. Bill Jen
nings came through it all in glorious fashion and special
praise goes out to a man who is still giving his last, full
measure of devotion. The Old Pro still hopes, that the
future brings teams upsetting the Huskers rather than
vice-versa. '
In the search for an athletic director, the guessing
game is still going on. According to recent information
via the grapevine, the Husker athletic director has been
selected.. However, in hope that this Information is not
true, the Old Pro would like all Husker fans, students,
faculty, alumni, and friends to do some further think
ing on this matter.
Bill Jennings stated in his news ponference yester
day that he hasn't discussed the athletic director's job
with anyone nor the renewal of his contract. In other
words, Bill's future has not been discussed with hirn an
any manner concerning the position he now holds, even
though the administration officials are presently openly
seeking an athletic director.
We, the young people of Nebraska, have much to
say about its future. Our state has been noted for its
conservatism which extends also into our athletics. We
try and reach for the glory of the 30's with the same
methods we used then; methods outmoded by time. Are
we afraid to pay for what every Husker fan has wanted
for years, a good winning football team, successful teams
in other sports, arid a team which is a source of pride
to our state; or are we going to be a second-rate athletic
school hiring second-rate personnel in important posts
such as the athletic director, and expect first-rate re
sults. The responsibility of our athletic situation at Ne
braska University lies directly on his shoulders, contrary
to some sports writers' beliefs, and he has the task of
hiring and firing coaching staffs until the job is done.
It's too bad when we have to say that certain people
are out of the reach of Nebraska's procurment because
of price; this is an outright admission of being second
rate. All Husker fans can fully realize that an additional
5,000 tickets sold per game (which is entirely feasible)
would bring in $120,000, and pay the entire coaching
staff and'a few extra scholarships.)
This not only applies to athletics, it also applies to
academics. Look at the record of the past five years
and notice the great professors that left this school for
financial reasons. Keep your eye on the ones that will
leave in the next few years.
Three's an old addage, when you hit a sore spot,
it really hurts. What we've discussed in this column and
in last week's column are Nebraska's sore spots. Do the
responsible people of this school want to correct this
situation or are we going to be in the same, old rut
for the next ten years until we have another change
in administration?
I mentioned a few names in my last column who I
considered men who were well-qualified to do the job.
THE OLD PRO WANTS A FIRST-RATE MAN TO DO
THE JOB TO MAKE NEBRASKA A FIRST-RATE
SCHOOL IN ATHLETICS.
In an interview with Otto Graham, he made the
following comment: "No one contacted me about the
athletic director's job. I'm happy here but I am always
willing to talk to. anybody about the job, I'm interested."
In an interview with Robert Waterfield, the follow
ing comment was made: "I've heard of the., situation at
"Nebraska University but no contact has been made. I'd
be interested in the job but due to a four-year contract
with the Rams, I'm afraid I would not be able to ac
cept the position." ' '
In an interview with Eddie Erdelatz, former athletic
director at Navy, Erdelatz made the following state
ment: "This is the first I've heard about it. I'm certainly
very interested in the job and I'm sure that I could
bring the type of football to Nebraska tht would please
the Nebraska fans. I would appreciate any support given
to me in this direction and I hope that my name will
be considered for, the post." -
Here are three top names in the football field, picked
at random from the list The Old Pro made in his last
column. We can get first-rate coaches, if we want them.
Also under recent consideration are Wichita's athletic
director, Tippy Dye', and his head football coach, Hank
Foldberg. Both men are outstanding and should be given
adequate consideration since they built up Wichita Uni
versity to its highest point in many years. The Old Pro
however, would like to back Eddie Erdelatz for the job.
Until a change in policy at the Naval Academy on
its head coaches being navymen, Eddie turned out the
finest football teams in the nation. At present, he is
head coach of the Oakland Raiders and one of the top
fro Coaches in the American Football League. Eddie
Erdelatz is experienced in all lines ol athletics and is
perhaps the best prospect the Nebraska officials could
get at this time.
The Old Pro suggests that each Husker fan, whether
he be an alum student, or janitor of Arvey Lab, flood
the Daily Nebraskan with letters concerning his thoughts
on the athletic director's job at Nebraska and his sup
port of Eddie Erdelatz or Otto Graham for the position.
Public opinion is the only deterring factor that might
stop a second-rate selection. Public support and ideas
are a strong factor in deciding whether Nebraska is to
be the fabled unbeatable team of the midlands that it
once used to be or a new league member of the Dakota
Conference, a mythical league of North Dakota, South

Earns Star Award
By Bob Besom
Dennv Claridse enioved his
first taste of toting the pig
skin from the halfback spot
during Saturday's upset vic
tory over Iowa State.
The Daily Nebraskan Star
of the Week said, "Running
from the left half' position has
given me a better perspective
of the importance of good
over-all blocking (which we
had during the Iowa game)."
The handful of relief assign
ments in the first half was
Dennis' first offensive change
this season from his regular
quarterback routine.
Claridge, who ran the club
most of the same, not nnlv
kept the Nebraska offense
clicking smoothly against Iowa
State but also occasionally
doubled with a key role in
the defensive secondary.
Claridge retained his top
seat in the Big Eight punting
charts, sending five boots 200
yards against the Wildcats. .
He has punted 34 times this
season for 1,356 yards and a
39.9 average.
In other statistics. Claridge
has made two interceptions
ana returned them tor a total
of 53 yards. He has carried
on 49 occasions this season
and gained 151 vards. And he
has a total offensive gain of
414 yards in 132 plays.
The 20-year-old Arts and
Sciences student had his best
afternoon all season in the
air routes. Dennis hit five of
eight passes for 83 yards but
gave the credit to the block
ers whose "over-all pass pro
tection was exceptional."
Claridge was quite excited
about the Iowa State win but
quickly turned his attention to
the Colorado Buffalos who in
vade Memorial Stadium Sat
urday. "Colorado will prob
ably be on the rampage due
to their surprise defeat by
Utah, so we will have to be
at our best to get another win
Saturday."
Denny, a redshirt junior, is
in pre-dent and comes to Ne
braska from Robinsdale, Min
nesota. He attended Robins
dale High where he was an
all state quarterback selection
and a three-sport letterman.
Claridge Is a member of
the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

Dakota, and their State
schools. Only if you put an
effort forth can Nebraska
fans lick this second-rate
selection we've been hind
ered by in the past.
Sports writers and broad
casters become somewhat
complacent and conserva
tive in their thinking at
times. If you agree with
their ideas and don't agree
that we are second-rate, the
Old Pro would more than
gladly encourage your state
ment of position. But for
Nebraska's sake, speak now
when your voice can be
heard or hold your peace in
the devastating future.
Good luck to Bill in the
next two games. I hope he
overturns the applecart.

tory; Athletic Director an

of tonsillitis. The sophomore
lineman was confined to Stu
dent Health, according to
Coach Bill Jennings.
Other Huskers who were
held out of last night's drills
included backs Dennis Clar
idge, Bill Thornton, Bill Corn
stock and Warren Powers.
Halfbacks Willie Ross and
Rudy Johnson are on "lim
ited duty," Jennings said.
Jennings said that in order
to beat the favored Colorado
Buffaloes Saturday, the Husk
ers must "stop their throw
ing and move the ball enough
to score and prevent being
on defense ,aU afternoon."
The Huskers will have their
hands full with CU's quarter
b a c k Gale Weidner, the
league's leading passer.
Jennings estimated that
three touchdowns should be
enough to beat the Buffs "and
I'd sure like to get three TDj
against Colorado," he com
mented. The Huskers have scored
three TDs in a game only
twice this year in the 33-0
win over North Dakota and
the 24-0 blanking of Kansas
State.
Jennings said that soph
tackle Lloyd Voss, who was
a starter until being slowed
by the flu last week, is going
at full steam again and will
replace Brown in the starting
lineup.
