Olympic notes '
Clearing the desk of the flood of wirecopy transmitted
in connection with the 1968 Winter Olympic Games current
ly underway in Grenoble, France.
As Alain Calmat ran up the 101 steps to light the Olym
pic flame, the crowd of 60,000 could hear his heartbeat. An
electronic device was attached to his chest, and the sound
was amplified through the loudspeakers.
Some of the U.S. athletes didn't appreciate the uni
forms they wore for the opening parade.
"This uniform is useless after today unless I want to
get a job as a bellboy," cross-country skier Bob Gray
quipped during the opening ceremonies.
Opinion divided
Gray wasn't the only dissenter when it came to the
uniforms, but opinion seemed to be divided, and side-by-side
with 36 countries, the American outfit clearly had a
better cut and finish than most of the others, according to
Associated Press writer Michael Goldsmith.
The Americans wore red-stylish blazers, buttoned off
center, with a white band down the shoulders, dark blue
ski pants and dark blue headbands.
The headbands were not regarded as hats, so the
American men kept them on while the band played the
Marseillaise.
Styles Edwardian
Most Olympic teams' styles were Edwardian during
the opening ceremonies with three-quarter length frock
coats for men.
The tiny nine-member Liechtenstein team in fur
trimmed Edwardian coats and fur hats was rated by
many as the best dressed team on parade.
Russian fur hats were in high favor, but not with the
Soviet team, which appeared in blue-and-white wollen
caps tipped with a white pom-pom.
Parachutists waited
As part of the opening ceremony, five parachutists
were to drop into Olympic rings carved on the infield of
the stadium. But before" they could jump, snow had to be
removed so they could see the outline of the interlocking
Olympic symbol.
One of the loudest roars heard at the opening cere
mony was for 350 Olympic hostesses who came over the
'n of the stadium and marched in formation onto the
Labeled bunnies because of their red rabbit fur coats
and tigM fitting blue ski pants, the girls are serving as in
terpreters for athletes, newsmen and officials.
When President Charles de Gaulle sat down in the
stadium, one of the bunnies rushed over and tried to place
a "blanket over his legs. But De Gaulle brushed her away,
refusing the blanket, and the girl stepped aside.
Ski controversy
More vital to the Games, however, was the controver
sy over brand names on skits that flared between the In
ternational Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Internation
al Ski Federation (FIS).
Skiing, of course, represents the backbone and much
of the glamor of the Winter Olympics.
Avery Brundage of Chicago, president of the IOC, ob
jects to manufacturers' names on skis, charging it is com
mercial exploitation of the Olympics. The FIS disagrees.
Failure to agree on this matter could have resulted in
all ski events in the Olympics being discontinued. How
ever, the IOC decided Tuesday night that skiing would re
main in the Grenoble Winter Olympics, but no skier would
be allowed to show any trademarks whatsoever on his
skis at the end of his run.
Off the subject
Turning from skiing and the Winter Olympics to base
ball, although out of season.
Arthur Daley, sports editor of the New York Times,
remembers this story about the late Jake Pitler, short
time major league player, but warm in the hearts of ev
ery Brooklyn Dodger fan.
Pitler, while managing in the minor leagues, was dis
cussing in detail the big league potentialities of the vari
ous teenagers on his roster with Branch Rickey.
Rickey sceptictd
Rickey frowned when his gaze settled on the only
adult member of the squad.
"What about this fellow?" boomed Rickey, his sonor
ous voice filling the room while Jake quailed. "Can he hit?
Can he run? Can he throw? Can he do any of those things
we look for in a young ball player?"
"No. Mr. Rickey," said Jake in a very small voice.
"Then why in thunderation do you keep him?" roared
Rickey.
"Mr. Rickey," said Jake, "He's the only one old
enough to drive the bus."

Wildcats get 'Wild Man'

by Mexican meal
Manhattan When LeRoy
Montgomery was out recruit
ing football players for Kans
as State recently, he got a
home-cooked Mexican dinner
at Manuel Barrera's house in
Alice, Texas. Then he g o t

NU star
new LSE
grid coach
Frank Solich, Nebraska's
outstanding running back nf
the 1963-65 seasons, has been
named head football coach at
Lincoln Southeast high school.
The 162-pound scrambler
amazed NU fans and the na
tion during his three years
under coach Bob Devaney
with his uncanny ability to
collect 1,074 yards in a game
considered only for big men.
Solich comes from two
years at Omaha Holy Name,
where he built a 2-7 first-year
club into a Class B runnerup
at 6-2, which won him the
metropolitan area Coach of
the year honors last year.
At 23, he's the youngest
Class A mentor in the state.
high nationally for cooking
Mexican dinners.
She would be a cinch for
all Big Eight, anyway, accord
ing to Montgomery.
Not too hot
"It's the best Mexican din
ner I ve ever eaten, says-
LeRoy, a K-State assistant
coach. "Not too hot. Just
right. I'd like to take Manuel
out to a Mexican restaurant
around here and pay him
back but he'd throw rocks at
it."
Not many football coaches
would throw rocks at Bar
rera. He stands 6-2 and
weighs 235 pounds, a delicious-looking
morsel to any
body connected with the sport.
They called him 'Wild Man"
in Athens, Tex., where Hen
derson County J.C. is located.
The Wildcats hope the nick
name is justified for two more
years, at least, because that'
how long they'll have his ser
vices. He'll probably be tried
somewhere in the defensive
line.
He kept eatin'
Barrera thought his moth
er's cooking would be on trial
when Montgomery invaded
their home for dinner that
night. "I wan't sure he (Mont
gomery) would like Mexican
food," recalls Manuel. "But
he kept eatin and eatin' and
eatin'. Man he can eat."

Baack, Lantz pressing
high-scoring Sooner duo
. . . Hushcrs rank 4th, 5th in Big 8
Kansas City, Mo. Some
time during the Oklahoma
Iowa State game in Norman
Saturday, the Big Eight Coa
ference will have a new pair
leading the league's all-time
one-two scoring punch table.
Right now, Oklahoma's Don
Sidle and Willie Rogers have
accounted for 2,421 points be
tween them. This leaves the
two just 24 points shy of the
mark (2,444) held by Mis
souri's Charles Henke and Joe
Scott and set during their
1959-61 tenure for the Tigers.
In their two years and 18
games of competition, Sidle
has scored 1,403 points. Rog
ers, crossing the 1,000 plateau
this past week, now has 1,018.
However, whether the
Sooner pair remains the Big
Eight's leading scoring duo of
all-time will depend not so
much upon how far they sur
pass the Henke-Scott total,
but how long they are able to
hold off another high scoring
pair of teammate contempo
raries, Tom Baack and Stu
art Lantz, the top two scor
ers in Nebraska history.
Baack and Lantz now stand
at 2,290 as a combo, both
showing career totals of over
1,100. Baack, with 1,174 leads
the pair, followed by Lantz
with 1,116. This two man total
is 113 points behind the figure
already established by Sidle
and Rogers.

IH engineers checking roll bar stresses in tractor roll-overs use the same basic radio telemeter that gathers data from
rockets. But IH involvement with the space age doesn't stop here. Special International trucks filter rocket fuels. Exotic
IH metal fabrications are used in building rockets. When you join IH, you're joining a leader in the important fields for
tomorrow's world. Fields as basic and challenging as farm equipment and trucks. Fields as new as aerospace and gas
