Sen. George Sya.s Saturday proposed a holiday season game in the south between a squad of Big Eight players who have used up their football eligibility and a squad from the Southwest Conference or Southeast ('onlerence.

The Omahan would let i conference pick its coaches and split le- between the leagues. However, Syas told the A.S"ociated Press, he is hopeful the present contract will be renewed. Syas took issue with University of Nebraska football coach.

Jennings explained he meant that ouse ot the lack of population, people would have to pul) together. He said he being critical of Nebraska. Syas noted that while other states with Big Eight schools may have larger populations, they also support more than one major state college or university.
