(B) TOUCHDOWN! Hartwell ende up wroac end ap bat aeena the oalr toaehdbwn. Mind Over Muddle Hawaii Adds Insult to SlJ Infamy By DICK BECKER Staff Sports Writer is a queer chortled Henry Vaseoncellos, coach of the triumphant University of Hawaii team. That's not the only thing queer, Henry. It's queer when a team favored by nearly 50 points can even score. It's queer that a minor league outfit can knock off one of last bowl teams.

It's queer that a Nebraska aggregation. built up by a rejuvenated scholarship program last year, can't block, tackle or manufacture a sustained offense. Rainbows Brilliant But, Henry, there was nothing queer about the University of Hawaii. The Rainbows played brilliantly. They showed skill, guts and an extreme will to win.

No team has ever been more of an underdog and won a more clean cut victory. For Nebraska it was the third in a trio of unmitigated insults to the long standing football record of the school. I.asl fall it was a 55-7 defeat at the hands of Oklahoma and a 54-7 battering by Duke In the Orange Bowl. These defeats were tempered by a happy cruise to Hawaii. Now', even the getting into the act.

Vaseoncellos put it this way: is a queer thing. year we met the team bound for the Orange Bowl and we were as flat as poi. year we were the underdogs. Everything said we would be beaten. Our boys took it to heart.

They told me they knew they could play 60 minutes of good football they certainly did! Boys Now Men were boys turning into men. They used sheer guts. "And, on the other hand, Nebraska was down. They couldn't have been up for this Henry, you are so right Nebraska never came close to winning lie game. They did everything wrong.

Coach Bill Glassiord, calm after the unbelievable upset, could only say: "I don't have much to say. do anything. They outplayed us in every way." Were your boys overconfident, Bill? "Well, they certainly looked like it. "But they've got to grab themselves and come back fighting. This isn't uie first time this kind of thing has happened to a Glassiord had kind words for the Islanders Improve were above last year.

They fought like the devil all of the way." What about Skippy Dyer, Bill? get to see him much. I was too busy trying to watch our From above it appeared the play in the llusker line was woefully weak. Hawaii was running consistently outside of the tackles and the air threat, while it didn't click, was a deadly threat. Nebraska, on the other hand, had little poise, seemed to get more ragged as the game ora on. No Benches Glassford tried a new idea for the game.

He had the sideline benches removed and had all of the subs kneeling on the sidelines. wanted to try it and see if it would cement our BUI said.

But, except for fullback Don Bosseler's third-p i 13-yard touchdown run, the Miamians couldn't find the end zone.

A Marciano-Moore match became a Not since Louis fought his return match with Walcott or his second bout with Billy Conn has there been such tremendous interest in a heavyweight match. The International Boxing Club reports an advance sale of $500,000. Even a man with a good connection could buy nothing better than a seat in the 26th row last week at the $40 tops. In addition to the natural appeal of a match between the 31-year- old champ from Brockton, and the older, more experienced light heavyweight king, the sale has been boosted by the fact there will be no home television.

Theater television really comes of age for this bout with 128 theaters in 92 cities piping the picture to their audiences over a closed circuit TV. As the average fee is about $3.50 and 350,000 are expected, theater television network officials indicate they will gross $1,000,000. Roughly speaking, the promoters and fighters get a total ol about $1 per head to be divided 40 per cent to Marciano, 3) per cent to Moore and 40 per cent to the promoters. On the basis of the 40-20 percentage split, which also holds good for the regular gate receipts, Marciano should drag down about $400,000 and Moore about $200,000 for the work. join the Baltimore Orioles in Washington.
