. The Husker blocking sleds were
right in keeping with the wintry
scene Wednesday as a persistent
snowfall hampered Coach Bemie
Masterson's efforts to keep the
spring workouts going.

as has been followed in the past
workouts, with calisthenics, pass
ing drill, charging and rushing
tactics on the docket as the third
day of practice suffered the same
fate of earlier workouts.
Coach Tony Blazine had the
Scarlet linemen at work on the
dummies, charging as line units.
Bob Lipps, scrappy ruard lst
fall, was with the end candidates,
while Center Jacque Evans was
included in the tackle ranks.
John Sedlacek was running
with the guard group in another
shift.
Marshall "Red" Neihart, former
Jackson hifh star, was among the
backfield sauadmen and was
working at a halfback slot in a
combination headed by Joe out
schow, Blair, quarterback.
Passing Search
Masterson continued bis search
for a passer, and had a number of
men throwing during the pass
drills. Jim Myers. Ken Fischer,
Bob Ackerman. Joe Gutschow.
Bruce Bergquist, Del Wiegard and
Carl Dilldine all took their turn
on the firing line.
While varsity squadmen were
going through their paces on the
main practice field south of the
regular playing field. Coach Pop
Klein was sending his hail ol tne
spring squad through a workout
on the Nubbins field northeast of

from Duane Anderson.
Hvt Kick Geiglein won by decision
from Stan Daffer.
In the main event of the semi
finals of the all-university box
ing tournament, Dick Geiglein
pounded out a well-deserved vic
tory over Stan Daffer to earn the
right to meet Tom Novak Friday
night for the championship in the
heavyweight division. The plucky
Daffer was the aggressor through
out, but could not keep away from
the rangy Geiglein. ,
Dale Preston came on fast in
the second round of bis light
heavy match with Bernie Snora
to win by a TKO. With the first
round counting even, Preston's
initial flurry of blows in the sec
ond round were enough to put
Snora away.
Also in the lightheavy bracket,
Arley Howdsen walked away with
the closest decision of the evening
when he outlasted Duane Ander
son in a bout featured by furious
action close in. Both boys were
in good shape, and the winner,
Howsden, shapes up to be a wor
thy opponent to Preston, who is
the other finalist in the 175 class.
Fast Finish.
Del Weigand put on one of the
best finishes of the evening while
losing to the more ring-wise Jim
Wolford in their 155 pound bout.
The first two rounds were all
Wclford's, as he continually beat
Wiegand to the punch in both the
"in" and "out" fighting. However,
in the final round, Wiegand scored
with many solid smashes as Wol
ford waited the fight out.
Advancing to the finals in the
1C5 division was Harlan Crans
ton, double winner in Tuesday's
bouts, as he. won another close
decision from Ron Metzger. The

hard hitting Metzger looked good
right down to the finish, but he
could not keep Cranston from pil
ing up points in the close in fight
ing. In the lighter weights, Bob
Yambor showed the way with a
quick second round K.O. over
Howard Purdy, who was unable
to keep up with the speedy Yam
bor. The second bout of the eve
ning ended in a close decision
for Hugh Cook over his oppo
nent Bill Bock. Both fighters
sparred the first two rounds with
most of the action going coming
in the third round.
Long-armed John Rushton
edged out a close one from husky
John Brower in the 135 semi
finals which ended with both
fighters ready to throw in the
towel. For the most part, the
three rounds of action between
these two lightweights proved to
be a free-style slugfest, with
Rushton using his greater reach
to good advantage.
In a 135 pound bout between
Don Theil and Al Heikes all of
the action came in the first min
ute of the first round as Theil
was awarded a TKO, which ad
vanced him to the finals where
he will meet the winner of the
previous fight, John Rushton.
This should pan out to be one
of the better contests of the Fri
day night finals, as both men
are willing mixers and pull no
punches.
Action will continue Friday
night when the finals will be held
in all of the eight weight divi
