Ohio State number one as Kansan picks ten best
By STEVE SHRIVER
Kansan Sports Writer
College football is fast approaching its first full weekend of gridiron warfare and the new season promises more upsets than ever before. Balance is the key word around the country with most conference races shaping up as three or four-team affairs.
5. OKLAHOMA—Coach Chuck Fairbanks welcomes back Steve Owens and Steve Zabel. Last year Owens gained 1,536 yards and scored 21 touchdowns while Zabel was a standout end both ways.
6. ARKANSAS—Coach Frank Broyles rebuilt both his offense and defense last year and he has veterans back at all positions, plus record-breaking quarterback Bill Montgomery.
4. **TEXAS—Coach Darrell Royal has 35 returning lettermen to console him over the loss of Chris Gilbert. The Longhorn's season finale with Arkansas has already been tabbed as the game to decide the conference champion.**
Bowers is a 1968 graduate of Panhandle State at Goodwell, Okla. His father, Dr. Royal H. Bowers, is dean of instruction at Panhandle State.
Sept.17 1969
3. PENN STATE—Coach Joe Paterno returns nine starters of last year's stingy defense. The Nittany Lions have the softest schedule of any of the ranked teams but Paterno still has room to complain—he wants 12 defensive starters back.
2. USC—even with a tough schedule and the loss of O. J. Simpson, the Trojans will win. Coach John McKay returns all but two defensive starters and has a bevy of finks backs and receivers to choose from.
The offensive onslaught on the record book last year will be hard to repeat again, but coaches are pulling all the stops—Notre Dame even has cheerleaders this year. The only safe prediction to make is to say: anything can happen.
KANSAN
The following is how the Kansan views the country's ten best in collegiate football, 1969.
1. OHIO STATE—with 18 of last year's 22 starters off a national championship team returning, including quarterback Rex Kern, Woody Hayes has nothing to worry about except fat heads.
Bowers has worked the past three months with the sports staff of the Southwest Daily Times in Liberal, and as a sports play-by-play announcer for radio station KSCB in Liberal. Prior to that he was sports announcer for 4 year with station KGYN in Guy mon, Okla.
10. ALABAMA—Bear Bryant's Crimson Tide lost—surprise—two regular season games last year, plus that 35-10 massacre at the
hands of Missouri in the Gator Bowl. Still, quarterback Scott Hunter and sophomore back Johnny Musso will keep the Bear growling a few more years.
4. MISSOURI—The Tigers are solid and deep all through the offensive unit and Dan Devine is sure to produce his usual tenacious defense. Mizzou will battle Oklahoma to the wire in the Big Eight.
Wayne Bowers, 24, former assistant in the sports information offices at Oklahoma State and Panhandle State, has joined the University of Kansas athletic department in a newly-created post as assistant sports information director.
8. NOTRE DAME—The Fighting Irish return a fine quarterback in Joe Theisman and their schedule is not as tough as in the past
9. GEORGIA—The Bulldogs return a strong defense and quarterback Mike Cavan, Coach Vince Dooley insists his team is overcated but the rest of the Southeastern Conference coaches all point to his Bulldogs to reign.

There are 1,216 words in this message. If you read at an average reading speed, you will require nearly five minutes to read it. If you had developed the simple skill of Dynamic Reading, you would be nearly halfway through the article by now. There are many Reading Dynamics graduates who could read this page with full comprehension in less than 32 seconds.
But don't be embarrassed about your slow reading. The simple fact is that you don't read slowly by average standards; but by the standards of Reading Dynamics you poke at a snail's pace — probably reading between 250 and 400 words per minute. You are not afraid to miss out on your friends and neighbors—and many highly placed professional people—can't读 any faster than you. Many undoubtedly read at a considerably slower pace.
Most Reading Dynamics graduates can read an average novel in less than the time it would take them to watch the Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday night. And they read with full comprehension and complete enjoyment. You can, too, once you have acquired the extraordinary skill of Dynamic Reading.

But please keep going.
In recent years over 500,000 people have graduated from Reading Dynamics Institutes throughout the nation and abroad. All of these people took the course with the guarantee that their reading efficiency would at least triple in the short span of eight lessons. In virtually
every case, when the student attended class sessions, this exciting promise came true. Reading Dynamics makes you the same astonishing guarantee: We guarantee to increase your reading efficiency at least 3 times. We will refund the entire tuition to any student who, after completing minimum requirements, does not at least triple his reading efficiency as measured by standard beginning and ending tests. Reading efficiency combines speed and comprehension, not speed alone.
In Lawrence alone, over 700 people have benefited from Reading Dynamics. For example, records from recent spring classes show a speed increase from 307 to 1958 words per minute with a comprehension improve of 8-10. Many who read Dynamically have developed their skill so successfully that they are able to read at even higher rates. Astonishing? Yes, it is. But true.
At this point you are probably a bit incredulous. We admit our promises are dramatic — indeed, overwhelming. But they are based on documented statistical case histories of our thousands of students. When you become one of our students—even though you may be a relatively slow reader now—you, too will contribute to our startling record of achievement.
Evelyn Wood first observed Dynamic Reading 18 years ago when a professor at the University of Utah read her term paper at an amazing place. Mrs. Wood's curiosity caused her to look for other exceptional readers, and
over the next few years, she
found 50 people who could
read faster than 1,500 words
per minute, with fine com-
prehension, outstanding re-
performance, great satisfaction
in reading.
"Reading is a waste of time, slow or fast, if you don't understand what you are reading," stated Evelyn Wood at a recent teacher training conference. "If you are not comprehending, you are not reading."
The first thing you are asked to do after enrolling in the Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics course is to forget everything you have ever been taught about how to read. Reading Dynamics teaches you to read over a particular advantage over an average reader beginning the course does not have any particular advantage over an average reader starting the course. You will be taught to read not just with your eyes, but with all your senses. Words will become pictures, and pages will roll by like frames on film. Your eyes will learn to move in rhythmic patterns down the page at time; and you will read with thorough comprehension in a fraction of the time it takes you now.
As a child you were taught to "hear" the words as you read them. You will be untaught that cumbersome technique and discover that the use of meaningfully by circumventing your old audio reading patterns. Once this eye-to-mind communication has been established, you practically eliminate the need for hearing, hearing, or re-thinking word, no longer read word-by-word or even phrase-by-
phrase; indeed, as you develop your skill; neither will you read sentence-by-sentence. Instead, you will read in "chunks." You will visually lift large blocks of material from the printed page and instantaneously jump into them onto the screen of your imagination. As the course develops your Reading Dynamics skills, you will discover the exhilation of experiencing the vitality of the printed page. Reading like reading, as it becomes more and more a process of experiencing.
Dynamic Readers, having finished this article, are now pages ahead of you in the newspaper.
As you read, your hand will function as a pacer, swiftly brushing across printed material as the words well in to pictures in continuous, dramatic flow. You will be gratified at your increased speed; you will be moved by your newly developed sensitivity to literary values; and you will be thrilled at the high degree of retention of the printed materials you can read Many Reading Dynamics graduates find that their ability to recall even highly technical material long after it has been read is the single most valuable aspect of their new skill.
The Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics teaching staff in Lawrence is highly experienced. Naturally, all instructors are college trained. Our Reading Dynamics imaging team is preparing them. They teach improved reading and study efficiency which includes both speed and comprehension. Skimming techniques negate improved comprehension and are therefore unacceptable the Evelyn Wood method.
As Mrs. Wood frequently points out, "You read five times faster not by reading every fifth word, but by reading five times as many words in the same amount of time. It is impossible to tell which words to skip or disregard until you have seen them all and determined their relative importance and meaning." You may be assured that Reading Dynamics is the subject of an improving improvement course in the world today.
The Dynamic Reader, having finished this newspaper, is off doing something else. In this supersponsive, electronic, automated age, it is comfortable to know that man has discovered a way to improve not just things and machines but man himself. When your minimum guarantee of tripling your reading skill comes to pass, you will find that you can read and absorb at least three times more material in the time it now takes you to efficiently complete present writing and put it another way, our average student can read and absorb in 10 minutes what previously required an hour or more. In an age where your most precious possessions are time and knowledge, isn't this a wonderful gift to give yourself? The rare and exciting gift of self-improvement. It can be yours after SEVEN SHORT LESSONS. The 32 second challenge is now over.
