C of C Committee Promotes 'Big Blue'
By MATT BEGERT
Acctent Sports Editor
The "New Blue" ,which seems to be springing up everywhere in Lawrence, is part of a promotional campaign by the new-formed "Big Blue" Lawrence of the Commerce Chamber of Commerce.
The committee is trying to promote a campaign similar to those of the league, tools to whip up enthusiasm and support for the football team this season, according to Al Hack, chairman of the Big Blue
Hack said plans for the campaign began in the summer and the committee of 12 worked to prepare for the football season. The first thing the committee did this fall to kickoff the campaign was place a banner at the entrance of the stadium, indicating that the city was the "Home of the Kansas Jayhawks." Also included on the banner was a plea for KU fans to cheer blue to the games, Hack said.
This week committee members盐 and the KU pup club will be busy preparing materials for the Lawrence citizens what they may purchase to support the team, he
Fans may purchase streamers sporting "Big Blue" country slogans for $1.00. Also available for purchase are many cash available in quantities of 100 or 1,000. Rubber stamps with the slogan "Coming to you from Big Blue Country." to you for $1.50 can also be purchased.
Hack said the car tags were manufactured by patients of the hospital. Ms. Chow, a mental center for mentally retarded adults, one-third of the price of a car is due to her.
All items are available at the Chamber of Commerce office, 901 Tennessee.
The committee is also asking any Lawrence business executive to display Big Blue slogans prior to home games. Hake said response was positive.
Worster Back at Texas
AUSTIN (AP) -- All-American Steve Worter, charged in Canada with marijuana possession, has enrolled at the University of Texas as a fulltime a college a close friend said Tuesday.
Worster was advised by his lawyers not to give any statements to newsmen, the friend said.

Drills Improve
Over Monday
A tired group of KU football players trotted on the practice field and, coach Don Fambourg seemed more en-joyable after Monday's practice, which he described as "terrible."
"We had a little better practice tonight," he said. "It was a day of fundamentals and assignments—no contact."
"It was a good day. We accomplished quite a bit."
There were no new injuries as of yesterday, he said, but speculated that Jerry Evans, junior defensive halfback, hurt in a drill Monday, might not be off the injured list in time for the game in the season with Washington State on September 11.
Farmbrough said Don Perkins, a former player for Oakland, junior linebacker, both hurt in practice earlier this season, should be back in the game.
Fambrough said place kicker Bob Helmbacher "got a little more distance and height" on his kicks during the practice.
"Of course," Fambrough continued, "Height is the most important thing. And he's been running for years, and the five consistently."
Fambridge said practice might be moved to Memorial Stadium today, although every practice would not be held there.

Nebraska. Oklahoma to Dominate Big 8
By JOHN RITTER
Kansan Sports Editor
The Big Eight Conference, regarded by many observers as the most successful this season will field two teams that probably will be recognized as national powers, at least three times in the race for the conference crown.
Wille Harper (sophomore lineman of the year in the Big Eight), safety Bill Kosch and cornerback Joe Blahak.
Nebraka, last year's number one team in the nation and just as hard to dominate the Big Eight this year, and Oklahoma, which overcame the Big Ten in 2014.
Nebraska's freshman team went 4- last year and, according to Devany, the Cornhuskers "could be better than in 1970."
THEY'LL HAVE TO be, just to repeat their Big Eight championship record. They have the 16 starters back, including the entire backfield, may be the star of the season.
Only two are gone from OU's potent offense of last year, and he defense, somewhat of a

After that, prediction nothing more than speculation. Several teams, especially in Florida and Georgia, expect the chance of upselling Oklahoma or Nebraska. In fact, after the top team makes a conference of darkhorses.
**NEBRASKA, WITH A** Solid overall attack, may be one of the few teams to win a national championship two years in a row. The Cornhuskers have two ex-odds, a 20-15 win over Browns and Jerry Tagg, and a sophomore whiz who may beat them both out.

THE BUFFS HAVE a strong running game with two outstanding backs, Jones Keyworth and John Tarver, but the lines, both on offense and defense, need to be better if Colorado is to be a contender.
This editor figures that Oklahoma State will be the surprise team in the Big Eight. Even though their entire offensive line is gone, the Cowboys will help fill a new one with newcomers from last year's team, the best in the conference.
VETERAN TONY POUNDS and sophomores Brent Blackman and Hard Dacecastle provide plenty of talent at quarterback. The defense, built around guard Gil Barres, linebacker Joe Crees and backs Tom Carraway and will be more than adequate.
Kansas, with a new head coach,
an overhauled offense and
season's best team season, should improve its 2-5 Big Eight record. The Jayhawk running game will be the biggest brawl brought to the club's emphasis on defense pays off. KU won't reappear as the worst defensive club in the league.
The Kansas State Wildcats are without the Lynn Dickey this year. The team is about to change their chances in 1971, when they could do no better than 5-5 against the Minnesota.
