I was curious about the reasons for this change and the reactions of Harvard's student body to the return of the rah-rah side of football, so I placed a telephone call to the Harvard Crimson, the school newspaper. I asked for the sports editor but he was out at the moment, so I talked to the new s editor, Linda Greenhouse. She was most generous with her comments that ranged from "it's delightful" to see Harvard on top, to "there really wasn't much to get fussed about" when Harvard w as just another team in the Ivy League. She said that now the Crimson is running first page stories on the football team "even when the game isn't particularly important" and that "student spirit has really been great." Then the sports editor of the paper came to the phone. His name is Bois Seuillet Jones Jr., a junior. He briefed me on a little of the history of Harvard football and ex plained the feeling of the Harvard student body. "Harvard hasn't won its first six games since 1931. In fact, the Crimson hadn't won their first five in 20 years," Jones said. He also explained that if Harvard wins its next three games it will be the first undefeated and untied season since 1913. Jones said that "there has been a definite increase in school spirit this season, but none of that mid-west effigy hanging or bonfires bit." He quickly added that there is still a certain element of apathy in the student body and that "there is no uni versal gung-ho spirit." "But when we played Dartmouth before a sell-out crowd two weeks ago the entire student section was on its feet the entire fourth quarter," said Jones. "And that hasn't happened very often here." It doesn't happen very often at many other places either. Jones also said that normally the only sell-out at Har vard is with Yale and that the Dartmouth crowd was one indication that this was a unique year for the Crimson. I also discovered some interesting things about Ivy League football, including the fact that spring football is not allowed. Fall practice is limited to three weeks before the first game but it doesn't start before Sept. 1. So Harvard actually starts the season a week late. The Crimson have a nine-game schedule. I asked Jones if the student body resented not being in the ratings. "Oh, but we are," he said. "In fact just last week we were 19th in the ratings. This is great." Comment I've been cussing all week since the ratings came out with the Huskers in sixth place because I thought fifth was a better spot for them after the Missouri romp. Yet, Harvard is happy with their 19th place because it's new for them. All of this has to mean something. One thing, the geographical movement of the intel lectual wave, and its relatively late arrival in the mid-west seems to be reflected in the rise of the football spirit in the east. Part of the image we (as collegians) have been brought up with concerning college football is the raccoon coats, "rah-rah-rah, siss-boom-bah" days of Ivy League schools. Since then a certain amount of apathy accom panied the athletic program of the eastern schools and the intellectual movement took over. Eventually that same movement hit this part of the country. But now football is regaining its old hold on the Ivy schools, while mid-west schools are clamoring because they feel it is being over-emphasized. But football is too much a part of the American culture to fret about. When asked where he was from sports editor Jones replied: "I'm from Atlanta, Ga., and I was brought up on Georgia Tech football. I'm a Bobby Dodd fan from way back!" College football . . . good grief! ' CS .VI V"l if'. - I UP:. I I Wl f Two year letterman Dick Bacon adds depth to Jayhaw k fullback position. Huskers To Meet Jayliawks Saturday By Ed Icenogle Sports Assistant The forecast looks good for the University of Ne braska Cornhuskers as they move south this Saturday to play in the Kansas home coming game. Nebraska has seven wins and no losses (4-0 in t h e Big Eight) while Kansas stands 2-4-1 for the year and is winlcss in the con ference. XU may run into trouble on the ground against the Jayhaw ks as KU is just one slot behind the Huskers in rushing offense and de fense. Nebraska now stands sec ond behind Colorado with an average of 191 yards per game on the field and KU is third with an 184.1-yard average. On rushing defense the Cornhuskers top the league, giving up only 79.6 yards per game. Kansas follows at 127.7 yards turned over. The Jayhawks are slight ly ahead of the Huskers in passing defense. KU ranks sixth in the conference, al lowing 135.6 yarus per game. NU is seventh at 140.1 yards per game. Kansas' Don Shanklin is the second leading rusher in the Big Eight with a 4.8 average on 133 carries this season. He is also sec ond on kickoff returns with a 20.3-yard average and fourth in punt returning with 15.6 yards per return. Quarterback Billy Fen ton is back in the Jayhawk lioe-up following a foot in j u r y and is expected to start at the 1:30 p.m. match at L a w r e n c e's Memor ial Stadium. Sophomore Thermus But ler, who backs up Shanklin at left half, is the leading KU scorer. Butler has three touchdowns to his credit and scored a 33-yard field goal in the last eight sec onds of a game that tied the Jayhawks with Kansas State. 3-3, last week. Halley Kampschroeder, a two-year letterman, is the top receiver on the Kansas squad, having grabbed ten passes worth 143 yards. Other two-season letter men are Fullback Dick Bacon, who plays behind Bob Douglass, center Bill Wohlford, left guard Bill Perry, tight end Sandy Buda, defensive middle guard Jerry Barnett and defensive right end Bill Walters. David Morgan handles most of the KU punting and averages 44.2 yards per boot for first place in the Big Eight. A record crowd of near ly 45.000 is expected to see this 25th appearance of Ne braska at a Jayhawk home coming. NU has a 20-3-1 record at the homecoming games at Lawrence. The Huskers hold a one-sided 50-19-3 mar gins over KU in the history of the two Big Eight rivals' series. The Nebraska freshman will take on a winless Kan sas frosh Friday at 2:30 in a warm-up for Saturday's varsity meeting. The NU yearlings are 1-1 with a victory over K-State, 40-13, and a loss to Missouri last week, 13-12. The KU freshmen have lost to Oklahoma, 28-13, and Kansas State, 9-0.

LIS B Win Margins Close 'Jamaican Jet' Returns To NU Keith Gardner, the Ja maican Jet who captured the fancies of Cornhusker fans 10 years ago, was back at his alma mater this week. "I came up to get ideas on planning the organiza tion and fund raising for sports programs in Jamai ca," said Gardner, who is director of sports at t h e University of the West In dies, Mona Campus. And, during his talks with University of Nebraska ath letic officials, the former Husker speedster hoped to sell his dream of initiating competition between Ne braska and Jamaican ath letes. Gardner, who looks just as fit as he did in 1958 w'hen he walked away from the University with seven sprint and hurdle records, has re mained an enthusiastic fol lower of the Cornhuskers.

They have a great bunch of runners Dave Crook, Charlie Greene, Pe ter Scott and others." "Nebraska has changed some, but I can still find my way around. The peo ple haven't changed, though; they are still very warm, In spite of the cool weather." One of the old friends Gardner met on the Ne braska campus was Al Cal vert, manager of Selleck Quadrangle where Gardner lived during his University days. "I told him I still have the key to my room, which I was supposed to turn in," Gardner said- "I thought I might go over to Selleck and see it, but they have girls there now." Gardner denied being a recruiter for Husker track coach Frank Sevigne, but admitted that his enthusi asm for Nebraska might have caused several fine Jamaican runners to follow in his speedy footsteps at the University. "I just tell them about my experiences at Nebras ka and they want to get here," he said. "LeRoy Keene is doing a good job of recruiting, too." Keene, a former Husker trackman, is an insurance man in Jamaica. Other Ja maican standouts have been Lynn Headley, Vic Brooks and Ray Harvey. The Gardners have three' children, M a x i n e, five, Christine, three, and Keith, seven months. Balance produces close games, which in turn cre ates a hot conference race, the by-product of which is tremendous fan interest. That is the formula in the Big Eight Conference this year. So far, 17 Conference game arguments show an average margin of victory as a low 8.3 p o i n t s per game, including two 35-0 verdicts and another one which stretched to 27-0. Take those three games out and the 14 remaining show an average margin of just four points. Typical of this close com petition is Oklahoma State, with its four Big Eight games settled by a total of 11 points the biggest win for the Cowboys was three points, the worst lacing a 7-0 game. The balance producing the tight games snows as well in the log-jam created by Oklahoma, Oklahoma State Missouri, and Colorado for the best challenging spots to Nebraska. It pops up in the statisti cal ratings where only Ne braska's vaunted ground de fense has produced a safety margin of almost 50 yards a game over Kansas in both rushing defense and total defense. Colorado appears, too, to be pulling away from the Huskers a little in rush ing offense with a seasonal 1,573 to 1,337 edge. TEAM STANDINGS All Gm Team W L T Pet. Pti. PU.
