Trying for the third week in a row to hit the KU game score on the nose and to pick 20 football winners the sports staff again sticks its neck out with the following Cocks.
Everyone picked Kansas to beat Iowa State. One member, Sam Jones, did so reluctantly, however. Jones said, "Batting a present .725 percentage on selections for the last two weeks, I do not wish to put that percentage in jeopardy by betting for, against, or even, on the University of Kansas in their game of this week. May the best team win. However, under extreme duress from the Sports Editor, I shall select Kansas to win by one point."
The rest of the staff displayed more intestinal fortitude. Daryl Hall picked KU to win 20-14. Bob Lyle said KU 27, IS 6, Dick Walt called it KU 20, IS 19, Leo Flanagan said KU 21, IS 6, Kent Thomas picked it KU 26, IS 6, and McMillion sees it KU 13, IS 0.
No Co-operation
In the other 19 games the various members of the staff are farther apart than in the previous two weeks. The entire staff thinks Oklahoma will beat Texas, Southern Methodist will down Missouri, Colorado over Oregon, Michigan State over Stanford (could be trouble), Southern California over Washington, Minnesota over Northwestern, Iowa over Indiana, UCLA over Oregon State, and TCU over Alabama.
Lyle and McMillion picked Army over Michigan with the rest backing the Wolverines; Jones and McMillion took Pitt over Navy, pure treason in both cases, everyone else followed the Middies; Flanagan and Lyle like Arkansas over Baylor while the rest of the herd backed George Sauer's crew; Hall and Flanagan picked Illinois to beat Ohio State with everyone else looking for a comeback by the Ohio State squad; Lyle, Flanagan, and McMillion all back Lennie Dawson and Purdue over Wisconsin, and Hall and Jones take Wichita over
Cards To Be Pennant Choice In '56-Lane
ST. LOUIS—(U.P.)—Frank Lane new general manager of the Cardinals, went shopping for a field manager and additions to "a very fine nucleus" that would make the club a pennant contender in 1956.
He said he was considering three men for manager. Two of them are present manager Harry Walker and Freddie Hutchinson, pilot of Seattle in the Pacific Coast league.
Lane, 59-year-old former general manager of the Chicago White Sox, said the terms of the three-year contract he signed yesterday with the Cardinals were "mutually satisfactory." It included an attendance bonus clause and a salary "in excess" of the estimated $40,000 a year the American League team paid, he said.
Lane, whose activities in the trade mart earned him the nickname, "Frantic Frankie," said he would make every effort "to enhance the playing personnel and become a contender for the 1956 pennant."
Oklahoma A&M with the rest backing the Aggies.
Daredevils
In four games one writer finds himself without any moral support. Hall picks Kansas State to beat Marquette while everyone else thinks the Aggies will fall flat. Thomas goes out on the limb twice, taking Miami over Notre Dame and Nebraska over Texas A&M. In the fourth game your's truly really goes off his rocker and picks tiny Wake Forest to upset mighty Maryland.
To date Flanagan leads the pickers with 31 right and nine wrong. Walt is second with a 30 and 10 mark, Jones and Hall tied for third and fourth with 29-11, McMillion and Lyle next with 28-12, and Thomas last with a 25-15 mark.

A Campus-to-Career Case History
"I represent 30,000 people"
That's the population of the Mason City, Iowa, area where Jack MacAllister (Iowa U., 50) is Manager for Northwestern Bell Telephone Company. How would you like this kind of job?
. . .
"As Telephone Manager I represent Mason City to my company, and vice versa. Among my customers are bankers, farmers, housewives, merchants . each with different questions and problems about telephone service. Through public information and good business
office service, my people and I do our best to furnish the answers.
"My assignment calls for varied activities—sales, public relations, office supervision. One minute I'm describing a new construction program to a group of businessmen . . . the next explaining a new service to a rural customer.
"It's a job with lots of variety and responsibility, and I enjoy every day of it. My supervisor is 75 miles away," says Jack, "and that puts me pretty much on my own—which is the way I like it."*
Jack MacAllister graduated with a B.S. in Commerce and started with Northwestern Bell about five years ago. As Telephone Manager at the age of 23, he is typical of the many young men who are building careers in telephone work. Similar opportunities exist today with other Bell telephone companies . . . also with Bell Telephone Laboratories, Western Electric and Sandia Corporation. Your Placement Officer has all the details.

*P. S. Since this case history was prepared, Jack has been promoted. Now a manager at Des Moines, Iowa, he has increased responsibilities.
