Football (Eras Come And Go
Cornhuskers Start 75th Year
xne 1964 football season
marks the Diamond Jubilee
of Nebraska football. These
seventy-five years have seen
eras such as the "King Cole"
era, the "Stiehm Roller" era.
the D.X. Bible era, the Biff
Jones era a n d many other
coacmng ' eras.
Cy Sherman, Lincoln Star
sports Editor, dubbed the Ne
braska team the "Cornhusk
ers in laoo and the name
stuck. Before the lasting name
of Cornhuskers, the Nebraska
teams had been called the
"Rattlesnake Boys," the "Old
Gold Knights" and the "Bug-
eaters.
Nebraska has had a long
line of colorful and successful
coaches, but the first three
years of football were played
with no full-time coach, the
first being Frank Crawford of
Yale in 1893.
The first real coaching era
was started by Walter C.
"Bummy" Booth in the years
from 1900 to 1905. Booth had
a record of 53 wins, 7 losses,
and 2 ties in his six years as
head coach.
After Booth came W. C.
"King" Cole who became
coach in 1907. In Cole's ten
ure as coach, his teams com'
piled a record of 24 wins, 8
losses, and three ties. King
Cole's last game was a 119-0
lambasting of Haskell.
Immediately after King
Cole's reign, E. O. "Jumbo"
Stiehm became head coach.
In an auspicious beginning,
the Stiehm-Rollers crushed
Kearney 117-0, and thus in
two consecutive games the
Cornhuskers scored 236 points
to the opponents zero. Steihm
amassed a record of 35 wins,
2 losses, and 3 ties in five
years.
Nebraska had hit the big
time in college football, with
Vic Halligan and the famous
Guy Chamberlin both making
Ail-American.
The next real era was the
Fred T. Dawson era from
1921 to 1924 which produced
a 26-7-2 record against fine
competition. It was during
Dawson's time that memor
ial Stadium was erected, and
Ed Weir was selected on two
All-American teams in two
consecutive-years.
Ernie Bcarg was the coach
between Dawson and the
famous D. X. Bible. Bears
compiled a record of 23-7-3
over two years, a.:d Dan Mc
Mullen was All-America un
der him.
In 1929, D. X. Bible began
a coaching span with the
Cornhuskers which iajted
eight seasons. The bald
headed coach gave the Husk
ers six Big Six crowns, an
eight-year won-lost record of
50-15-5, thirty-five All Confer
ence players, and All-Ameri-cans
Ray Richards, Lawrence
Ely, George S a u e r, Hugh
Rhea, and Sam Francis.
Of D. X. Bible, it has been
said, "No coach ever served
a university more faithfully
and generously and ably."
In 1937 Biff Jones took over
the head coaching position
and promptly won the Big
Six title. Jones accomplished
what even Bible could not
accomplish the defeat of
Minnesota. All-Americans un
der Jones were Fred Shirey,
Charley Brock, Warren Alf
son and Foreest Behm.
Jones' 1941 Rose Bowl team
has long been a Cornhusker
legend although Nebraska lost
to powerful Stanford.
After the war, Nebraska's
football fortunes declined
somewhat with only brief
flashes of greatness.
The 1950 team with the
great sophomore Bobby Reyn
olds was a ray of light as were
periodic upsets of national
powers which kept Memorial
Stadium remarkably full even
during lean won-lost years.
Who can forget the upset
of Oklahoma in 1959 which
ended the Sooner's 74-gaine
conference victory string?
But in 1962, Nebraska foot
ball started on the rise again
under Bob Devaney. He car
ries a lifetime major college
mark of 54 wins, 13 losses,
and 5 ties which places him
second among the top college
coaches. Devaney has a 19-3-0
record since coming to Ne
braska, and has two post-season
bowl victories to his cred
it. Nebraska has come a long
way from the 10-0 victory
over the Omaha YMCA back
in their first game in 1890 to
the polished Cornhuskers of
the 1964 season, and hopeful
ly the Cornhuskers will con
tinue to grow under the "Bob
Devaney era."
Parks: Teachers Needed
Dr. Walter W. Parks, su
perintendent of the Ord Pub
lic Schools has completed a
comprehensive study of teach
er placement at the Universi
ty from 1871 to the present.
In his doctoral thesis he not
ed the following trends:
More than 25,000 requests
are now made annually for
University of Nebraska
trained teachers with out-of-state
requests exceeding Ne
braska requests by a nine-to-one
ratio.
Sixty per cent of those
placed in teaching positions
are employed in Nebraska.
Areas of shortest supply are
in the fields of mathematics,
science, and English. A small
surplus of personnel exists
only in the area of school administration.
Parks found that from 1953
to the present there has been
a continuous and very rapid
increase in the demand
for beginning teachers. Re
quests for 5.550 students were
made in 1953, compared with
26,737 requests in 1963.
Parks noted that while
there are eight secondary
teacher graduates for every
five who wish to teach in the
elementary grades, the re
quests c o m e in reverse pro
portions, putting elementary
teachers in great demand.

Layman's
Lookout
A sports column a com
pletely new field for this
writer. This column may be
as much of a challenge for
you, dear readers, to read
as it is for me to write.
Being completely dense on
the different facets of a foot
ball game, I will restrain my
comments to the happenings
around the outside of the field.
It seems that more than
just the players are new this
year. There is a new system
of cheerleading. No longer
are there two separate groups
-pom-pom girls and cheer
leaders. They have been in
corporated into one.
Looking for the rolnr arrmnrt
the field, one rather missed
ine extra red and white uni
forms. However. thf mm.
pom girls did an excellent
job How they managed to
cheer during the game and
have enough energy to dance
around in the pom-pom rou
tines during the time-outs is
phenominal. and all Hnna in
hot uniforms.
One did wonder if each of
the jobs might have been per
formed a little better, how
ever, had they been special
ized. Another question brought
to mind, if there had been more
cheerleaders, might they
have been able to spread the
squad around to the new
end zone stadium where the
freshmen sat, isolated from
the rest of the student bodv?
Often it is the freshmen that
have the gumption and gall
to come out with a few cheers
once in a while.
By the time the typical
coed has reached the junior
and senior vear. he or she.
regrettably, has learned that
it is just not tne cool tmng to
iumo ud and down and eet all
excited and nerve - wracked
over the scarlet and cream
sweating it out on the field.
A mention of the new sta
dium broueht a surorise.
Armed and ready to hear a
number of gripes and com
plaints about sitting in the
end zone, I was pleasantly
surprised to hear comments
like "They were really good
seats. I liked them better
than being over in the old
stadium."
Incidentally, enjoyed the
nerformance of the Nebraska
band. True, thousands had
either seen it in person or
over television, but a re
peat performance was ap
preciated. For those who had
seen it in person, it brought
back lots of pleasant memor
ies of a trip to Miami. For
those who had to sit at home,
the life - like performance
looked better.
