'BiH No Comm About Future tN. V'w V3K im 5iri iA i By Don Bryant Nebraska football coach Bill Jennings acted like a man with a future but one he isn't sure about after his Husker team had blown a 14 0 lead and lost 21 14 to Oklahoma Saturday afternoon. With his contract due to expire on Jan.

15, Bill may have skippered his last Nebraska game. But he didn't make any announcements about the future during his meeting with the press, following the game. 'I haven't seen anybody about anything in the future," Bill said. "I'm going home and going to bed." No Assumptions Asked if he was going on the assumption he would or would not be the coach next fall particularly because "Sure it was a disappointing season. It's disappointing when you lose one game and if you only win 3 it's that much more disappointing." Jennings said he went on the field to talk to Referee Cliff Ogden just before the Oklahoma winning touchdown because, "I just hate to see them move the ball around a lot before measuring for a first down it makes them look bad and it just isn't right." Asked if he would say anything about the Sooners (players and their game).

Jennines replied: "I have nothing to say about Oklahoma." Participants in a long standing feud, Jennings and Wilkinson didn't even break stride at midfield during post same formalities. 1 battles McCoy and pass drops of recruiting Jennings answered: "I'm not going on any assumptions. There's the squad banquet Monday night that's next." Jennings has also accepted some banquet talks next month. Told that Tippy Dye, Wichita athletic director and the top candidate for the vacant Nebraska job, was in town for an interview, tour and the game, Bill said: 'I didn't know that." In regard to the fame it self, Jennincfs said he "didn't know how to explain" the dif. terence in the two halves.

That's just the came of football, I guess," he said. ine Cornhusker coach, con trary to reports from som nf his players, said, "We didn't cnange anything at the half." NU assistant coach Kelley and itments "We didn't try fo sit on it we played like it was even," he said. "Our team went after them as well as they knew how, and as well as we have coached them. "I'd have loved to have gone out 21 0 at halftime, but we didn't." Bill said the 15 yard penalty and the quick pass for the first QU touchdown early in the 3rd quarter "hurt a lot." He thought Nebraska in the first half "played as eood as we have all year. We had two touchdowns that were lost (Don Purcell dropped a pass in the end zone and Dennis Stuewe couldn't hang on to a long pass in the open.) Asked if he would term the 1961 season a "disappoint ment" after looking back on the schedule, Jennings said: "Uisappointing Season" referee exchange viewpoints, flrsjt Cornhuftkeir toncbdowo Jennings walked by, shook Bud's hand, said, "Nice game," and Wilkinson said, "thanks." Then Sooner plavers swooped their coach up on and hauled him toward the dressing room.

Jennings trudged by him self toward the NU Field House, perhaps for the final time. Banquet To Honor Huskers James G.
