Nothing immediately will be done about expanding the golf course or the dining room, but this is cluded in the future planning ideas. The current nine-hole, par-3 golf course covers 20 acres with the longest hole 208 yards, making the course one of the larger par-3 layouts in the west.

The other nine holes would be built on a 17-acre tract just west of the current parking lot and the 10 th hole would be only a short distance from what is now the ninth green.

Pick one if you wish. be right either way. They are two of the best candidates in many a year.

Never have two new head coaches made a greater impact on the Big Eight in the same season. In the Associated Press annual poll, they finished about 50-50. Dan Devine of Missouri was the only other coach with any votes.

Fairbanks had been thrust into the job in the middle of spring practice, four days after Coach Jim Mackenzie died of a heart attack. Rodgers. 36, directed the Jayhawks to a second place tie at 5-2 with a squad that was 0 6-1 in the league last year and picked a shaky sixth place, a scant two points above the cellar. Going into the last quarter, Kanass led Colorado 8-6 and Oklahoma 10-7, but lost both by four. Never before in the 61-year-history of the conference had a school improved by five league vie- PEPPER RODGERS tories in one year.

Both coaches had long been considered prime head coaching material. OU had no choice but to pick a new head man from its staff when Mackenzie died. Fairbanks, a polished speaker, meticulous organizer and low key on the practice field, was chosen over gravel-voiced Pat James a defensive genius, Fairbanks promptly named James his chief assistant. grateful for Fairbanks said. the finest defensive coach in the Fairbanks had never played a down of defense.

high school or college, when the first two-platoon era ended in the middle of his career at Michigan State in 1953. Yet he became a good defensive end his senior year, served as defensive backfield coach at State and was the architect of excellent pass defense in 1966. But he also served as offensive chief of explosive 1965 team, the last of his four seasons there. The effervescent Rodgers a former Georgia Tech quarterback under Bobby Dodd, quickly became recognizeil as an offensive genius as he tutored quarterbacks Rich Mayo of Air Cotton Bowl team, Heisman Trophy inner Steve Spurrier at Florida and Gary Beban at UCLA Bob Douglass developed into a player of the same mold this fall.
