2f Wi-din'Mlny. Feb. 15 Lincoln Kn-iiiiin Joiiriiiil uiul INVtmmka Stale Journal I iHIUiHIIIIIHII May Be Wrong Charity Stripe Accuracy Lifts OSU by Oklahoma iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiimiwiiiimuiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiihiiii By Dick Becker Journal Sports Editor If you don't sympathize with Bill Jennings today, you don't have much heart. Nebraska's football coach is going to be put on trial in the most ciuel manner the next 12 months. You don't have to agree with him nor especially admire him, but what will transpire at the University of Nebraska will place Bill in the most trying position a football coach ever faced.

All talk of appointing a temporary athletic director to replace Bill Orwig simply means-- and Jennings knows it-- that if he doesn't have a good year he will be through when his conliaci expires next February. Now Jennings is enough of a realist to know the situation existed anyway, whether Orwig stayed or not. But this highly -publicized trial certainly won't lead to a stable approach to the 1961 season. Stillwater, Okla. (M Oklahoma State hit 26 of 27 free throw attempts a night to rally and defeat Oklahoma 48-42 in the schools' cross-state basketball rivalry, Fritz Greer missed a charity shot in the first two minutes and after that the Cow- No 'Solution The University of Nebraska, indeed, faces some important decisions in the coming days.

There is no easy nor quick solution to the problem. Those who immediately aehocate a combination foot- bail coach-athletic director may well be swayfd by -the success of this operation some 20 years ago. But just as the old highway to Omaha was all right in 1940,, and isn't today, so the combining of the coach- direcior duties in 1940 may not be feasible today. Times Have Changed Two jobs have been added to collegiate athletics which capable men like Dana Bible and Biff Jones were nexer required to undertake. These men sat quietly in their offices in Lincoln without having to raise funds or recruit players.

Today's coach spends more time rounding up players than he does in coaching and the athletic director must be a fund raiser of the first water. That these tasks overlap so many times of the year would seem to indiate that a coach-director isn't the proper approach. Bill Orwig performed a marvelous job of keeping the NU program rolling with adequate funds when this wasn't the easiest job in the world due to losing teams. To add this burden to the football coach might be an overlapping assignment JVo Financial Benefit The advantages of a combination man, as pointed out by advocates of this plan, would be to use the two salaries--now over obtain a nationally-prominent man 4 In most cases the combination job today is occupied by a coach who had to be given added inducement to sta with his school. True, there are some very successful coach-directors As to a financial saving, this is very doubtful.

In most cases an assistant director must be employed -usually at a good salary which puts the two jobs over that which is being spent in the fust place A good example would be at Oklahoma where Corner Jones, an assistant athletic director and assistant football coach, probably is being paid more than Nebraska's head football coach. In any event the matter certainly get a lot of study as Nebraska's intercollegiate fortunes are waning and it is imperative that the next push be one in the right direction.

Loseis high-- Bob Svoboda, 11 Scholarships Are Needed OU's Caniglia Thinks of Future Omaha' dW-- Omaha Univer sity football coach Al Caniglia said Tuesday he thought an adequate football program could be built at the schoo' with 44 tuition and fees scholarships. But, he said, he has mapped his 1961 plans on the assumption he will have 26 such grants on a resident tuition basis. Caniglia, a i at a meeting on the school's athletic programs, commented: "We can get along under the present program but cannot build for the future." The school gets its athletic funds from student activity money, donations and gate receipts, using no tax funds. Hooper Pounds Walioo, 6740 Wahoo Hooper outscored Wahoo 40-14 in the second half to slaughter the Warriors 6740 a high school basketball game here Tuesday night Richard Fowler, 6-5 senior center, led the second half onslaught and ended with 26 points.

Wahoo stayed close 27-26 at halftime, but Fowler and his Hooper hoopsters were too much in the final half. boys hit 24 straight from the free throw line. Accuracy with free throws offset a cold night from the field. Oklahoma State hit only 11 of 39 attempts for 28.3 per cent. Oklahoma hit 34.2 per cent of its field goal efforts, 13 of 38, but missed 5 of 31 free throws.

The victory gave Oklahoma State a Big 8 Conference record of 4-5. Oklahoma is 2-6. Oklahoma started off in a hurry, building a 16-7 lead in 8 minutes. But the Cowboys narrowed it and Greer's two free throws tied it upjfor the first time at 23-23 with two minutes left in the half. Moe Iba hit a 40-foot jump shot at the bell to give the home team a 27-25 halftime lead.

The Sooners again took the lead at the start of the second half with 5 straight points before Oklahoma State found the range. Again it was Greer who tied it 37-37 with a jump shot.
