The Huskers were toppled
by Arkansas in an aerial
comeback in the Cotton Bowl
to preserve their undefeated
record, and later to be named
number one in the nation by
a group of writers represent
ing the Football Writers As
sociation of America. For
this rating, Arkansas received
the Grantland Rice Award as
the top College team in the
Country.
Comment Well, who do you
give it to? Arkansas did beat
Texas, the logical choice.
In the Rose Bowl, hapless
Oregon State was humiliated
by a strong Michigan from
the Big Ten, 34-7.
Comment The West Coast
Conference better get with it,
and pick the strongest team
if they ever expect to defeat
the Big Ten. Not picking Sou
thern Cat was ludicrous.
In the Orange Bowl, Ala
bama was upset by a strong
Texas team, 21-17, but in
jured Joe Namath almost was
the difference as he came off
the bench to lead a beautiful
passing attack.
C o m m e n t Namath
great, but $400,000?

In the Gator Bowl, Florida
State's great passing and de
fense overwhelmed up-and-down
Oklahoma, 36-19.
Comment Again Coach
Gomer Jones proved he is no
head coach when he permitt
ed such callousness on the
part of his players that they
would even think of signing
"undated" contracts.
The St. Louis Football Car
dinals surprised the Green
Bay Packers 24-17 in the play
off Bowl.
Comment ex-Huskers Pat
Fischer and Thunder Thorn
ton were instrumental in the
Cardinal win, and ex-Big
Eighters Prentice Gautt and
Willie Crenshaw added pres
tige. In college basketball, only
Providence and Indiana re
Miained undefeated among
major college basketball
teams. Michigan dropped its
second one-pointer of the year
to St. John's.
Comment Look for Michi
gan to eventually come out on
top they've got the horses.
In the Pros, the Boston Cel
tics are virtually unstoppable
having won ten straight and
sixteen of their last seventeen
contests, making the race a
walkaway.

cal comedy called "Damn
Celtics."

Comment The Big Eight
race is looking tighter all the
time.
World Herald's Gregg Mc-
Bnde criticized Nebraska s
pass defense in his c o 1 u m n
Tuesday, saying:
"It is hoped that by next
New Year's Day the varsity
will have come up with a de
fense against the forward
pass . . ."
Comment Ted Vactor and
Larry Wacholz are as fine a
pair of defensive backs as ace
could hope to find on a col
lege team, and Nebraska's
pass defense this year was
vastly Improved over the pre
vious year.
Don Pierce, Kansas Sports
Publicity Director, died as re
sult of injuries sustained in
an automobile accident on
New Year's Eve.
Kent McCIoughan, Husker
halfback and track sprint
man, denied Associated Press
reports that he had signed
with the Oakland Raiders of
the American F o o t b a 1
League.
The PEG-BOARD
Now that everyone is concerned for the poor college
grid player and how to save him from the too-early clutches
of the pro leagues, I have to offer my favorite story on
eligibility.
It was with extreme amusement that I read the story
of Florida State's punter who was in his sixth year of
college with no red-shirting.
Not that I condone a player trying to play more than
his allotted number of years, but you have to give the guy
a certain amount of credit for having the desire and
drive to want to play a year or two longer. I mean, it is
my understanding that college football has an awful lot
of work connected with it. You have to admire the guy
for even having the fortitude to attend classes for that
long. I know. I'm a senior.
The whole thing called to mind a story that occurred
about thirty years ago. (This is reported more or less
accurately, you understand. Obviously I have had to rely
on second-hand coverage and my source may have em
bellished the tale a little over the years.)
Even in 1934, it was pretty hard for a 5'9", 140-pound
guy to make a go of it in college football.
So, upon high school graduation, the hero of this tale
decided to stay out of school a year. He wanted to put on
weight and let his muscles harden into maturity. Leaving
the small Nebraska town, he went to live with relatives
in Texas.
The summer passed. Our hero had been a pretty fair
tailback and hoped to play the same position in college in
another year.
Meanwhile, a signal caller (tailbacks before the ad
vent of T quarterbacks did literally everything but block
and tackle) couldn't, really shouldn't let his trade go
to waste.
Our hero decided the local high school could use his
talents and enrolled as a transfer student. A tailback can't
let himself get rusty, you understand.
Well, our hero fit nicely into the coach's plans and he
played a few games for his new school. Actually, he
never really lied to the school. He merely told them he
wanted to enroll in classes and he very honestly wrote
down his hometown high school as the last one attended.
He just didn't say he had graduated. When the school got
his records, he was promptly dismissed, much to t h e
chagrin of the typing teacher who thought him a veritable
genius at the machine when he could type fifty words a
minute the third week of class.
Tales like this always end happily. Our hero enrolled
at a small midwestern college the following year and did
indeed make good as a tailback. He was captain of the
football team his senior year and was an all-conference
selection. He now is a successful businessman in his old
hometown.
How do I know? He's my father.

New Dorm
Erected
At Penn
A former University of Penn
sylvania coed calls a Wom
en's Residence dormitory,
built for a communal atmos
phere, more of a nightmare
than an ideal dormitory.
The University has spent
$73 million in 12 years and
plans another six-year devel
opment program to cost $93
to create "a showplace me
tropolitan campus."
With the possibility in mind
that the resident student
might come to feel insignifi
cant and "lost in the crowd,"
the University asked Eero
Saarinen to create a women's
residence in which girls would
learn to share and work out
their problems cooperatively.
Lynn Baron, a former coed
at the University, concluded
m an article in "Mademoisel
le" magazine, that, function
ally, it is a lemon, failing to
do what it was intended.
Aesthetically, the dorm is
re carded as a prison. The
lines are severe, and the
building is approached by a
steel walkway resembling a
drawbridge. Curving spikes
fringe the tops of the outer
wall, giving the dorm the
name, "La Bastille."
Inside, the rooms are iden
tical, small, and painted a
glossy hospital white. Every
other room has a medieval
silt, Instead of a window, pre
cluding the entry of light and
air necessary to effective
tudy.
Like many new dormitor
ies, the women's residence
seems to provide no place or
opportunity for solitude; no
means for the expression of
individuality, or eccentrici
ties. There is no place to relax-
informally, nor space to
do exercises in, or "to dump
things carelessly" in a word,
to live.
Huskers Test Cowboys
Pot first Road Win
Will they, or will they not?
This will be the big question
as the Husker basketballers
head for Oklahoma in search
of their first win on the road
this weekend.
Joe Cipriano's forces hold a
5-7 record with six of these
losses coming on foreign
hardwood.
"The law of averages has
got to be with us . . . Sooner
or later we're bound to win
one the road," he commented.

Mat men
Hit By
Holidays
Nebraska matmen will take
on Colorado State College to
day at 7:30 p.m.
Some of the grapplers are
hard pressed to lose weight
since the holiday season fat
tened them up on Christmas
dinners.
Rich Kerr has been having
the most weight difficulty on
the squad.
Kerr wants to lose 31 pounds
by Friday to wrestle at 137
against Colorado State College
at 7:30 p.m. in the Coliseum.
He's even shedding teeth.
At Missouri Kerr snapped
a bridge plate supporting a
front tooth and he's ecstatic
about it. "After all, it's a
quarter of a pound," he ex
plains, vowing to never shove
it back in until after the sea
son. Another troublesome tooth
is aiding the diet (which will
probably leave him at 147).
"When they were drilling a
tooth, they caught a nerve
and now I can't eat anything
real cold or real hot. All 1
have to eat is some pieces of
meat," Kerr said.
The bridge-plated tooth
was orignially dislodged dur
ing his freshman baseball
days last year. During a prac
tice rundown, a pitcher caught
Kerr and there a front tooth
lay. "He didn't know I was so
close," he recounted.
The Washington, N.J. lad
came to Nebraska from the
urging of his coach John
Goles. a personal friend of
NU athletic director Tippy
Dye. As a prep, Kerr was
second in New Jersey his sen
ior year, fourth as a freshman.
The Huskers will take a
1-0-1 dual record against Colo
rado State College and Wy
oming Saturday, also at 7:30
p.m. in the Coliseum. They
whipped Missouri, 25-5, and
tied Kansas State, 14-14, be
fore the holidays.

"We feel that we are down
a few points when we play on
the road with so many young
players, and when we get in
to those shooting lapses, it
really hurts. It's one of the
things you have to expect
from inexperience."
Saturday, Oklahoma State
hosts in a regionally tele
vised game in which the Husk
ers will be trying to even up
the 74-61 thrashing meted out
by the Cowboys in the Big
Eight tournament.
The game is scheduled for
1:35 p.m., but the television
play-back won't begin until
4:00 due to programming con.
fiict.
State is now 84 after a thril
ling comeback against Iowa
State, 54-52. Their top scorer
so far is forward Jim King
who stands about 6-5.
After Saturday's tussle, the
Huskers move into Norman
with the 4-6 Sooners for a
game on Monday.
OU finished sixth in the Big
Eight tourney as they lost to
Oklahoma State in the final
game. Bob Stevens' men play
a shooting game with a lot of
fast break.
Three guards will see plenty
of action: Butch Roberts,
Tom Flood and Mike Rooney,
as experienced forwards Jim
Gatewood and Fred Fleet
wood team up with 6-5 Dave
Barrett to form a tough front
wall.
Tip-off time at the Ok
lahoma fieldhouse is 8:05.
The Huskers should be up to
full strength as most of the
flu-ridden players have recov
ered fully and Bob Antulov's
ankle has improved consider
ably from the tournament
sprain.
Coley Webb and Nate
Branch will start off at for
wards for the Huskers.
OLard Fred Hare, the lead
ing scorer with an 18.4 aver
age and Grant Simmons join
Antulov to round out the first
five.
Let's hope the law of aver
ages comes through for t h e
Huskers this weekend, the

Because he joined Western Electric
Jim Brown, Northwestern University, '62, came
with Western Electric because he had heard about
the Company's concern for the continued develop
ment of its engineers after college graduation.
Jim has his degree in Industrial engineering and
is continuing to learn and grow in professional
stature through Western Electric's Graduate Engi
neering Training Program. The objectives and edu
cational philosophy of this Program are In the best
of academic traditions, designed for both experi
enced end new engineers.
Like other Western Electric engineers, Jim
started out in this Program with a six-week course
to help in the transition from the classroom to
Industry. Since then, Jim Brown has continued to
take courses that will help him keep up with the
newest engineering techniques In communications.
This training, together with formal college
engineering studies, has given Jim the ability to
develop his talents to the fullest extent. His present
responsibilities include the solution of engineer
ing problems in the manufacture of moly-permal-loy
core rings, a component used to improve the
quality of voice transmission.
If you set the highest standards for yourself,
enjoy a challenge, and have the qualifications
we're looking for - we want to talk to youl Oppor
tunities exist now for electrical, mechanical and
