Around the Big 8
By JERRY KLEIN Assistant Sports Editor
Spending a shorter time in the huddle this year, Big Eight teams are now getting off 160 plays per game, compared with 147 last year. The main difference has come with the shortening of the interval between plays.
Last year, the average time spent getting a play underway was almost 19 seconds. This year, plays are going in about 16 seconds.
What is in a name?
Confusion sometimes—just ask Nebraska's Carel Stith, a 6-5, 254-pound defensive tackle.
A year ago, he missed a class a couple of times and his instructor said to those present, after calling the role;
"Well, I see Mrs. Stith is not here again today."

Asked if he was worried about Bob Warmack, quarterback, getting hurt while running, Oklahoma's Jim Mackenzie said:
"I don't believe in shooting a sacred stick. If he's big enough to get a scholarship, he ought to be big enough to run with the ball."

"We didn't play in the Astrodome," dead-
panned Oklahoma State's Otis Wile, referring to the Cowboys' earlier clash with Houston.
"That was the Alamo. We got in there and got cornered and found out they don't have a back door."

John Simmons, head baseball coach at Missouri for 28 years, has been named to the Helms Hall College Baseball Hall of Fame. During his coaching career, he has compiled a 373-184 record.
For the third time, Oklahoma State's Myron Roderick has been named "College Coach of the Year" by his fellow members of the Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association.
Roderick had previously been honored in 1959 and 1962. The winner last year was Iowa State's Harold Nichols, who was preceded by Oklahoma's Tom Evans in 1963.
Referring to Kansas State's running the ball on a fourth-and-one situation deep in its own territory, Doug Weaver philosophized: "It's kind of like throwing inside your own 20—it's a yo-yo play. Sometimes it goes, sometimes it comes back to you." This time the play went for the Wildcats.
