Extending head football
Coach Jim Carlen's contract
one year through 1966 was
a pure piece of folly. It also
shows that the decision was
made under pressure by a
board of trustees and a
president who had no reason
to give Carlen a total of six

which is a big deal only if a
team is used to .500 or other
