12 Lincoln, Neb. Journal Saturday, November 24, 1973 Ineligibility Frustrates Linebacker Shoate: Cotton 'Losers' Bowl Sports "Well, I guess we're the Cotton Bowl champs now by a score of about 79-13," Webb said. "(Roosevelt) Leaks is hurt, Texas will have trouble with Nebraska. I really don't care which one of them wins, I'll bet both of them are glad they don't have to play us again." Switzer, pressed on how he would rate his Sooners in the national scheme, replied: "In my book they're No. 1.

I don't think anyone could beat us. How can they beat you if they can't score?" By Randy York Norman, Okla. The way Oklahoma players reasoned here Friday afternoon, they're unofficial Cotton Bowl champions after thumping Nebraska, 27-0. "The Cotton Bowl should be called the Losers Bowl," remarked Oklahoma a 1 1 -American linebacker candidate Rod Shoate, venting his frustration in light of the Sooners' ineligibility to compete in a postseason contest because of recruiting violations. Sliaoate, labeled by Oklahoma "We're the Big Eight champs," Switzer said as he greeted the press.

"The nation had a chance today to see the finest football team in the country. I've never seen such a psyched defense as was put up today. "We've played well on defense all year," added Switzer. "Today was the big test the final exam. We made stright A's.

It was our best game of the season. No question about it." Quarterback Steve Davis, who put Nebraska into a 14-0 hole with a 47-yard first quarter touchdonw run, said: "I don't know what happened on that sneak. The linebacker must have busted. Terry (Webb) and (Kyle) Davis must have done a heckuva job because all I could see was daylight." Switzer, noting that it's easy to dwell on Oklahoma's awesomely quick defense, stressed "we have a great offense, too. There's no back in the country who can do the things Joe Washington can do.

And he's not the only great one either. There's Waymon Clark and Steve Davis and all the rest." Oklahoma defensive end Gary Baccus called the Sooners' prestigious shutout "our best defensive game of the year. We knew what we had to do today and we played hard and did it. You could probably compare it to the Texas game last year. We didn't let them have a big play and we didn't let them get anything going." Oklahoma defensive tackle LeRoy Selmon, who played Centennial High's choir swings and sings during a rehearsal.

Dancing, Costumed Group Won Midland Jazz Festival Centennial Choir Sings, Swings By joel Thorson Outstate Nebraska Bureau Utica Just 2h years old now, the Centennial High School Swing Choir already has a tradition of excellence and a big reputation to live up to. Started by former vocal instructor F. Kelly Young, now teaching in York, the group won top honors in its division at the Midland Jazz Festival in Fremont last year with its upbeat choreographed versions of popular songs. Attired in snappy costumes the girls' are made specially for Metro-area Festival, an invitation has been received but not yet returned. "I'm not a super contest person myself," says Mrs.

Cameron, a sixth-year teacher who came to Centennial from Aurora, III. "We just have fun singing all the time." The singers, including "about half" returning from last year, are: YiHo rN GOP Leaders Urge Energy Use Cuts 4 Leaders of Nebraska's Republican Party have joined the ranks of political figures urging fellow citizens to make an all-out effort to cut energy use. ji lifiin Dinn nmmmmum niiy -l ir-mr iiiiimiMi tHun fitoi i iiii ifiiiifi i i 1 1 if i itn fli STAFF PHOTO BY RANDY HAMPTCN practical solutions to be supplied by anyone with such suggestions.

Bellwood (UPI) State Sen. Loran Schmit claims "the most obvious conclusion to be drawn after two days of hearings by the executive board of the Legislative Council on the energy crisis was that major oil companies have little concern for local dealers and jobbers and even less concern for the public." Schmit said: "Many independent dealers have already been forced out of business and hundreds more will follow in the next several years." The Bellwood lawmaker said he believes that environmental considerations have resulted in a lower total petroleum supply "but I do not thing we can overlook the fact that profits to the major oil companies have risen dramatically in the past them and backed up by drums, electric bass and piano, the 24 youngsters project good fun as well as good music. And the good times aren't just a stage image. Rehearsals under this year's vocal instructor, Barbara Cameron, are loose and humor-filled. The group recently sang in the 300-voice massed choir at the Capitol Conference clinic, held at Centennial High.

Mrs. Cameron expects the group also will be asked to perform before other local organizations. As for this year's Midland Jazz State Chairman William E. Barrett and national committee representatives Patricia Lahr Smith of Lincoln and Richard L. Herman of Omaha also invited year, notwithstanding decreased supply." Schmit said most of those who testified before the subcommittee, of which he is chairman, indicated they had received the same amount of petroleum products this year as they did last year with one "important" difference.

"In every case there was a price raise which varied from 3D to more than 70 with a promise of more to come. "In the case of propane gas the increase in prices over last year had, in some cases, amounted to more than 300'y Schmit said. He said he will watch with interest to see if the Cost of Living Council will oppose these raises as vigorously as the much less substantial increases in the price of beef. chart line aecline to a downhill run on a ski slope. However, the same article warns the encouraging trend is "not the best nor even a very good indicator of the efficacy of a nation's health delivery system." In the medical organization's opinion, infant mortality rates reflect "social, not medical problems.

Poverty, malnutrition, poor housing, low education levels, and racial or ethnic differences can be correlated with infant death rates." The AMA cites a study showing that proper prenatal care has a major role in increasing an infant's chances for life. Mortality rates ranged from 11.9 per 1,000 among a "no risk" group to a high of 41.7 per 1,000 among those with both sociodemographic and medical-obstetric risks, it is reported. In Nebraska, Mrs. Eastman said the mortality rate in 1972 was nearly twice as high among non-white newborn per 1,000 live births than among white 30.5 against 16.7. These formed the overall 17.8 deaths per 1,000.

Of the 23.473 infants born in 1972 in Nebraska, 417 died before their first birthday. The AMA says corresponding reduction in births may be contributing to the lower infant death rates. There were slightly more than 3.25 million births nationally last year, about 9 less than in 1971. Sopranos: Cynthia Dixon, Lorraine Stoll, Marcia Volzke, Deb Christian. Bonnie Tomes.

federal government last spring to take immediate action to increase and improve the energy supply. That same call included a pica environmental controls not be so strictly applied and that the federal government establish a priority system for use of petroleum products. That action was about eight months in advance of President Nixon's plea to the nation for energy usage restraint. Herman said. Herman also blamed a Democratic-controlled Congress with "lack of initiative." Once the computer analyzes the results, she said she hopes a summary can be prepared for distribution throughout the neighborhood.

YAF Opposes Trade Policy With Soviets Charging that trade agreements made with Russia have helped Moscow "more efficiently oppress its people." the Nebraska Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) have announced a petition drive opposing U.S. trade policies with the Soviet Union. Terrell Cannon, state chairman, said the petition was being directed to Nebraska's congressional delegation to "help Sen. Carl Curtis secure individual rights for Russian citizens." Curtis and Rep. John Y.

Mc-collister, Omaha, serve on the national YAF advisory board. Eminence, Mo. Tornado Takes 3 Lives Eminence, Mo. (AP) A middle-aged woman, her son and her grandson were killed today when a predown tornado struck this small community and destroyed their mobile home in rugged Ozark foothills terrain. The Highway Patrol inden-tified the victims as Lucille Nichols, 55; Henry Nichols, 26, and Terry Nichols, 10.

A fourth occupant of the mobile home, Darlene Nichols, 8, was injured. The patrol said the tornado struck over a four-block area in a path about 100 feet wide shortly before 5 a.m. Damage was reported to about 20 homes, but Cpl. Gerald Groves of the patrol said no other persons were known injured. Telephone communications were knocked out by the high winds.

Eminence, a community of about 520. is about 140 miles southwest of St. Louis. Nebraska Below U.S. Average Infant Death Rate Declines in State acreoss from Nebraska all-American Daryl White, observed "the looser we got.

the better we played. I think this was the most physical game we've ever been in." Nebraska athletic director Bob Devaney visited the Oklahoma dressing room and paid this tribute to the Sooners: "I don't think there is any question that this ball club is as good (on defense) as our 1971 club. This is one of the finest football teams I've ever seen and I know they're the best in the country." Nebraska governor J. J. Exon also visited the Sooner locker room to congratulate Switzer.

"we came down with cautious optimism," he said. "You have a great football team." Oklahoma Offense Rushing No. Yds. Ave Davis 18 114 6.3 Washington 24 107 4.5 Clark 68 3.6 Welch 4 20 5.0 Littrell 1 5 5 0 Russell 1 3 3.0 Passing Att. Comp.

The results are intended to benefit city planners as well as more than 10.000 Lincolnites in the Clinton and Near South areas.

The Clinton Neighborhood Organization (CNO) will distribute its survey in about two eeks to 3110 of the approximately 1,800 residents in the 75 square blocks bounded by 19th and 33rd, from St. to Cornhusker Hwy. The completed surveys will be analyzed by the computer and the results are expected to be made public after Jan. 1, Mrs. Lintel said.

The CNO survey, Mrs. Lintel said, should answer questions on transportation, housing, streets, recreation, education, shopping facilities, zoning for multiple living units, and the future of the land affected by the proposed Northeast Radial. The Near South group, working with CDED Supcrviser Ted B. Wright, had retrieved most of the 500 surveys Friday that were delivered earlier at random among about 5,000 residential units in the area between 13th and 27th, from to South Streets. Impeachment Coalition Calls For Campaign A state-wide organization which seeks the resignation or impeachment and trial of President Nixon is forming its tactics for the work, according to Sam Zeleski.

The Coalition for the Impeachment of Richard Nixon, of which Zeleski is a member, contends: "Nebraskans must express their ebbing faith in the man they so strongly supported in the last Presidential election." Zeleski said Nebraskans should contact their congressmen and tell them their views. Organized efforts to collect money for large advertisements in newspapers, radio and TV are also effective, he said. 1 Nebraska continues to keep its infant deaths per 1.000 live births lower than the national average but the gap appears to be closing. The American Medical Assn. reports the U.S.

infant mortality rate was a "discouraging 29.2 per 1,000 live births in 1950" but has dropped to 18.2 per 1,000 live births in 1972. Nebraska, according to State Health Dept. statistician Mary Lou Eastman, had 24.8 deaths per 1,000 live infant births in 1950. The state advantage over the national rate of 18.2 was 17.8 infant deaths per 1,000 live births in 1972. The 17.8 figure represents a reduction in deaths of infants (under one year of age) for Nebraska.

It was 18.1 in 1971. Nebraska didn't always fare as well, a chart dating back to 1925 indicates. For the decade between 1925 and 1935, infant death rates ranged from 50 to 60 per 1,000 live births. Nationally, the infant death rate was 16.7 in July of this year. Nebraska, still below the U.S.

rate, has a provisional rate of 14.1 deaths per 1,000 live births for the first seven months of 1973, Mrs. Eastman said. "Something good is happening." the steady national decline prompts the AMA to comment in its American Medical News report. It compares the infant mortality rate i.
