ROBERTCOOTE
By Larry Eckholt
Harvard University is currently one of the nation's
few undefeated teams and the football frenzy that for
many years was absent from the Cambridge campus has
returned.
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!

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.

'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.

ship track team, he said,
"I'm sorry I wasn't one of
them. 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.
