Big Seven Training Briefs
Ames, Iowa —(U.P.)— Iowa State Coach Vince Di Francesca called a halt yesterday to further contact work before the Missouri game Saturday.
The coach took the action after announcing four regular linemen would not be in the lineup due to injuries. They were end Barney Alleman, tackles Jim McCaulley and Ralph Brown, and guard Weldon Thackler.
Di Francesca said he would use Daryl Hobbs as a quarterback Saturday. It will be Hobbs' first appearance on the first team.
Lincoln, Neb. —(U,P)— Nebraska was rated a 14-point underdog yesterday as the Huskers took a light workout before leaving today for a Big Seven conference game with Colorado at Boulder.

Columbia, Mo. —(U.P.)— Coach Don Faurot announced that right halfback Jack Fox would see action against Iowa State here Saturday.

You can argue the point from now until doomsday, but let's face it—football parlays are here to stay.
The evils of the parlay system are evident. No 1, a person who uses this method to pick Saturday's winners usually ends up short of change on Sunday. To stress the point-parlay playing is just another term for gambling.
No. 2, most persons with a split-pea brain should realize that they have first hand information on maybe two or three local teams, and it seems a little senseless to place hard-earned money on a team you know absolutely nothing about.
The parlay cards are so compiled that if a person wished to bet the entire card, at least a few of the teams listed would be virtually unknown. A typical card might list 20 teams from various states and regions. The national bookies, who compile a few of the parleys, try to pick college teams in all regions of the country—so their parlay will appeal to a wider audience.
A parlay bookie can range in importance from a member of a national gambling syndicate to a college student attempting to make a little extra cash.

It is actually quite easy for a beginner to get up his own parlay—although this article isn't advising it. That is, unless a person has nerves of steel, pockets bulging with silver, and a "gambler at heart" attitude.
Actually, the parlay manager is betting that his patrons will be wrong, but many times they aren't.
A wobbly point on the plus side for parlayes is that they have introduced many persons to the game of football, and, in a sadistic sort of way, drawn thousands of team supporters.
Bob Waterfield threw a football 20 yards in .3 of a second, or 68-18 miles-per-hour.
Whether good or bad, parliams have caused persons to become more interested in a wider range of teams, instead of concentrating on the alma mater or the home town eleven. Few football teams appreciate their efforts are receiving —"shame on 'em."
It is rather obvious the evils of the parlay heavily outweigh the few shaky arguments for them. No advice will be given in this article except that if you are planning to play Saturday's parlay, it might be a good idea to talk to your friends who lost on last week's card. Or maybe you lost last week yourself.
The longest unbroken winning streak in collegiate football history was made by the Yale teams of 1885 to 1889 when they won 48 consecutive games. From 1890 to 1893 Yale put together 37 consecutive victories.
Saxton Faces Jail After Winning Title
Philadelphia—(U.P.)—Johnny Saxton of New York, a brand new welterweight champion, sought to avoid a traffic jail sentence today while deposed Kid Gavilan of Cuba sought justice as the victim of a "Philadelphia decision."
Brawny, 24-year-old Saxton, who learned to box in a New York orphanage, wrested the 137-pound crown from 28-year-old Gavilan last night before 7,909 in Convention hall. But he faced a 15-day jail sentence, starting today, in New York for ignoring a dozen traffic tickets. He was slated to appear in a New York court today before starting his incarceration.
From 1901 to 1905 the University of Michigan football teams won 55 of 56 games, and the other game resulted in a tie.
New Athletic Owners Wait for Approval
Philadelphia —(U,P)— The new "owners" of the Philadelphia Athletics, impatiently awaiting American league approval of their purchase of the team, faced further frustration today as Chicago realtor Arnold Johnson claimed they "wronged" him and threatened suit for substantial damages.
For Appointment
But local trucking executive Arthur Gallagher branded the court threat "unwarranted" and said the Mack family never gave any firm commitments to sell the club to Johnson.
The University of Washington holds the longest collegiate football winning streak on record. The Huskies, from 1907 to 1917, won 59 of 63 games with four ties included in the streak.
