run, making it very difficult to defense against him.
THE ~21.YEAR-OLD PLAYER, born in poverty in
Mississippi, came to Iowa by way of Boys Town
Nebraska. He spent seven years at the World-re-
nowned school founded by the famed Father Flanagan.
After getting accustomed to Boys Town, which he
didn't like at first, Hollis began to star in both the
classroom and on the athletic field. He learned we'll
enough to skip two grades and proved to be a natural
athlete. He starred in football, basketball, baseball
and track. In 1857, he led the grid team to an unde-
feated record and was named on a scholastic AlEAmerl-
can team.
Highly recommended by Boys Town Coach Skip
Palrang and encouraged by Charles Deacon Jones,
an ex-Hawk track star, the 17-year-old Hollis landed
at Iowa.
HE MADE THE SECOND { AS A soPHo-
MORE and blossomed into a firstrate star as a Junior
last year. He scored IL touchd0WnS and one con-
version for 90 points to set a modern Iowa scoring
record. His 48 points in Big Ten action tied him with
Ohio States Bob Ferguson for the league scoring title.
His 1860 performance earned him AllBig Ten honors.
How far he would have gone this year is every
ones guess. In preseason polls, he was listed as a
hot candidate for AllAmerica honorS, especially
since his passing had improved considerably over last
year.
Ironically enough, Matt Szkowny (sico-ni), the
player who replaced Hollis, has been playing like an
Amer himself. SZkoWny is the same guy who
nearly fired Iowa, which had lost four starters be-
cause of poor grades, to a stunning upset of Ohio
States powerful basketball team last season. The
Bucks escaped with a win by tWopoint margin.
SZKoWNY PLAYED LIKE A PRO two weeks ago
as Iowa Walloped Wisconsin, Ais. In that game, he
completed IA Of II passes for 1863 yards and three
touchdoWns and scored another I'D on a sneak. Bar
ring injuries, he'll be the man to watch when the Bucks
collide with the Hawks Saturday.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

@. Can you tell me the
origin and pronunciation of
"gimmick"? I have always pro-
nounced it with the "g" as in
give" Recently, though,
heard it pronounced JIM-mck,
with the "g" as in "giblets."
Which is correct?-E. B. Will
son, Akron, Ohio.
A. GIM-mick is the correct
pronunciation. The word comes
to us from the slang of car
nival midways. The first "gim-
micks" we're hidden devices by
which a carny con man or
"grifter" could control the
stopping point of the wheel of
chance. Magicians were next to

take up the word. For them a
"gimmick" was any small de-
vice used secretly in the course
of an illusion. Then, about
1880, the. word passed into our
general language and came to
mean any clever device or
gadget.
There are two theories of its
origin. One is that it comes
from the German word
"gemach," literally meaning
a convenience. The other,
and the one I'm inclined to
favor, is that it's simply an al
tered form of "gimcrack"-a
term long associated with
carnivals and circuses to mean
any snowy but useless object.

ligible to me. The other day,
