All six, appearing in the only games on the Big Eight slate, may get a pretty good idea as to why they are going to far this season.
KANSAS CITY (AP)—Six Big Eight Conference quarterbacks will occupy the spotlight Saturday.
The signal callers are Dave Robertson of Oklahoma, Ken Johnson of Colorado, David Humm of Nebraska, George Amundson of Iowa State, Brent Lamprey of Kansas, Dennison Dorrance of Kansas State.
Johnson, Humm and Morrison will be making their second season at Robertson, Amundson, and Blackman will be making their third.

ROBERTSON inherits his post from Jack Milden, spectacular as the operator of the Sooners' wishbone last year.
"I've been very pleased with Robertson this fall," said Oklahoma coach Chuck Fair-air. "He doesn't mean what I had anticipated."
The rest of the nationally trained players give Robertson a great big hand with such explosive runners as Greg Pauli Jowell and Willie Mays.

"Morrison didn't lose any of his confidence," Wildcat Coach Vince Gibson says. "It was just one of those days when things go down like a pitcher. Some days you curves aren't breaking."
Both Kansas and Missouri have open dates.

KU's Nesmith Has Come Long Way with 'Hawks

When I entered Athletic Trainer Dean Nesmith's office last week, the call was this: "was not getting to be one of its 'a-job' types of in-service training."
Instead, I could feel the reality of being trained. The training tables, which many years ago were a common sight before she as a University of New York student.

"Naturally the Depressio
Coming from the small northern Kansas town of Belleville, Nesmith entered the University of Kansas in 1923. He participated in college but had no form of scholarship because of the Depression.
Nesmith also prepares a schedule of events for the upcoming game weekend. This ranges from getting the men out in the morning to arranging motel and bus reservations.

"Even though I didn't realize at the time how great our team was, it thrilled me to work with such a talented player," Jerry West and Jerry Lucas."
"Popular Bob Lemon, who gave this city its best baseball record ever a year ago, almost certainly will not be rehired by Kauffman," State Journal Press writer Steve Cameron said.
He said injuries, personnel problems and off years for key players have had the Royals reeling in what was supposed to be a win. They are not as painful. They are 67-49 and in fourth place in the division.

Cameron is stationed in Kansas City for the Topeka newspaper and his story appeared under a Kansas City dateline.

"Almost all international sporting events are politically oriented to some degree," Nesmith commented. "But it seemed like the Munich Olympics have topped the list of countries displayed more political implications than the Olympics in Rome."
NESMITH SAID that if he had to pick a highlight in his career it would have been his work in the team. He was also trained the U.S. basketball team.

WHEN ASKED about the physical limitations of an athlete, Nesmith said he thought there was no such thing.
"There will never be an unbreakable record." Nismith said. It's impossible to have such a thing when we see athletes who are stronger and stronger. Plus, our bodies can take more punishment.

"As a result, there is no excuse for abolishing such contact sports as football. It's a wonderful game and it would be ridiculous to ban them, but they were potentially dangerous, we wouldn't even have the car."
