limb Sunday Journal and Star Match tl, 1965 Signals By Hal Brotm SiBdjy Sports Wants Legend Exploded The letter started out, "Wanted: Some One a i Enough To Explode A Legend." Sam Gould of Houston, apparently an avid Nebraska football fan, is the author and includes a note, "The enclosed letter and clipping are self explanatory. I am sick and very tired of reading about the undefeated Four Horsemen and the false legend the newspapers have fostered in this respect. Not once in the last 40 years has the truth about 1922 and 1923 been printed. Arousing Gould's ire are remarks be read ia a Boaston paper quoting DOB Miller, one of Notre Dame's fabled Four Horsemen, as saying, "The team (Notre Dame) would look as good today as it did when Knnte Rockne was at the helm." Adding further fire to the Houston resident's anger is this paragraph from the typewriter of Houston Chronicle sports writer Dan Shults: "To back up his point, Miller pointed out that the 1924 Irish eleven which was undefeated and crowned national champion beat a Nebraska team, that 'was just as large as the largest team last year'." Four Horsemen Myth Growing Gould contends that a myth, has grown that Notre Dame with the Four Horsemen had three undefeated seasons from 1922 to 1924. "This is a myth that has been allowed to grow because IB the motion picture of the Four Horsemen it scores of Notre Dame games in 1922 and 1923, hot it does not show the scores of the Nebraska games," be writes.

"Not wttil 1)24 does it show the score of the Notre Dame-Nebraska game and then only because Notre Dame Having not seen the movie, this writer is not qualified to judge its reliability, but film producers have been known to omit certain facts to make the story better. Actually the Four Horsemen did not gain the name until midway in their final season when they defeated Army, 13-7, at the Polo Grounds. Grantiand Rice in Us story of that Oct. 18, 1924, game tabbed fullback Elmer Layden, quarterback Harry StuUdreher and halfbacks DOB Miller and Jim Crowley as the Four Horsemen. "Milter too omitted the scores of 1922 and 1923, just like the movie did, and therein lies the myth which has been allowed to grow," Gould continues.

"Perhaps only the Notre Dame and Nebraska football players of those three yean, who are still living and Miller is one of them know the truth; they and a few of us old timers. The truth is: "Nebraska heat Notre Dame in 1922 and 1923, the only two games that Notre Dame last daring the three years that the Fow Horsemen played. Oaly to 1M4 wen thty The Nebraska fan from Houston must realise that legends have a way of growing. Anyone, who has attended a class reunion knows that fellows whir never got off the end of the bench become All-Americans if they stick around long "I hope that for the first tiaw since I will see it printed in a newspaper, it at least once before I pass on, that Notre Dame and the Four Horsemen did not have three undefeated seasons," Gould concludes. It has been printed.

Leitner Averages 26.7 Rockets 9 Doeble Handy Baekcourt Performer Continued from Page ID valuable to the Rockets as his long-range shooting and ability to drive were put to best use. The McCoek standout finished with a scoring average and led his rangy team rebounding. Doebele was perhaps the versatile backcourt performer in the state, contributing to the success of a well balanced Northeast squad in a variety of ways. The rugged 6-0 senior was a good outside shooter and an exceptional driver. But he was even more a rebounder, despite giving away several indies to most opponents in the under the hoop melees.

Veteran state toamey observers ranked his 21-point, 1 4 performance against defending champion Creighton Prep as one of the better individual efforts in tourney history.

Red Eff was a big "leggy" "olt as a two-year old and was slow to learn to run.

Be- ause of this he only started wice as a juvenile, waiting win his i race in Fleischer's hometown of Co- umbus. The 1963 season found him maturing rapidly and reaching his full potential as an allowance and handicap performer. Red Eff won his first start hat year at Fonner Park by five lengths. He went on to score two more wins at Ak- Sar-Ben and Hazel Park and some $11,002 in purses. The Fleischer star enjoyed he most successful year of his career in 1964 as a four- year old.

The $7500 a yer Handicap in Detroit lelped to bring his total earnings for the season to $21,315. Red Eff Jr. has a start in keeping pace with his older brother even though his activities, thus far, have been confined to the business of getting ready for the coming season in Grand Island. Red Eff Jr. looks a great deal like his older brother, ut is a much better propor- tined colt than Red Eff was as a two-year old.

Successful York Coach Combining Sports, Religion Molds Lives, Says Campbell By JOHN LEE Ontstate Nebraska Bareaa York--It's a long way from Japan to York. And there would appear to be quite a space between religion and basketball, too. Bat Colis Campbell a managed to bring these diverse areas together. The York College coach has just completed his seventh and most successful year at the Panther helm. His boys, though lacking depth because of the loss of four top players at mid-season, completed a 22-5 season with an overtime loss in the semi-finals of the Region 11 Junior College tournament in Des Moines, running up a record 14-game streak enroute.

They didn't win the tournament, but the Panthers would probably be acknowleged as the best sportsmen around. Campbell trains them that way, injecting some lessons from his other teaching field into the athletic program. Also an instructor in the religion department at the college, the soft-spoken coach is bound to bring the areas together somewhere along the line. Though he admits his background in the two fields is probably a bit unusual, he says, "I hadn't really thought about it." "I basically feel that in both areas we're trying to teach boys how to live," he said. SUMMER LEAGUES A Chain SOSMOT Spot!
