a defensive line which averages
well over 220 pounds, having at
his call such former Husker line
stalwarts as Jack Pesek, Carl
Samuclson, Ted Doyle, Vic
Sehelich, Dick Goeglein and
Jerry Jacupke.
A total of 45 alums are listed
for the clash, several whom have
been playing with professional
grid teams.
Fran Nagle will be the prob
able starting quarterback for
the old-timers. Nagle was a

Novak, himself an All-America
center during his playing days as
a Husker, will no doubt be one of
the roughest tacklers on the field

"Trainwreck Tom" for his out
standing linebacking during the
1946, '47 and '40 seasons.

A host of basketball stars per
haps the finest group of players to
assemble in the Coliseum at any
one time will give DasKeioau
coach Harry Good and his Husker
sciuad clenty of worries Satur
day.
The annual alumni-varsity
basketball game, to be played
during All Sports. Day, will be
a thrilling spectacle for any Ne
hraKka. fan in watch. The Corn-
husker varsity will no doubt have
quite a headache trying to stop .
such top-notch scorers as Mil
ton "Bus" Whitehead, Bob
Pierce, Jim Buchanan and a
host of others.
Whitehead and Pierce have been
playing with the Phillips 66 "Oil
ers" during the past season, and
should be in prime condition to
crivo the TTimlrere n rnnffh time
with rebounds and close shots.
Whitehead, a smooth operator
with a six-eight frame, was an
all-conference choice for the
1949-1950 season, as was Jim
Buchanan this year. Incidental
ly, the all-time season scoring
record which Bucky set this
year was held by Pierce last
year and by Whitehead previ
ously. With those three top scoring
threats, and several other able
srnrers anH flnnr men in the line
up such as Larry Walsh, Neal
Mosser and Joe Brown, Nebraska
fans will have a chance to see
some all-time basketball greats in
action.
Coach Good listed his prob
able starting team for the var
sity as Joe Good and Fred
Seger, guards; Bill Johnson,
center; Stan Matzke and Wil
lard Fagler, forwards.
Fred Seeer will be nlavinff a
double role during the All Sports
Bav festival. Besides beinff a
starting guard on the Husker bas
ketball team, he holds down an
infield position on Coach Tony
Sharpe's baseball squad, which
plays Drake university here Fri
day and Saturday.
Joe Good was named Tuesday
as game captain for alumni-var
sity game. The only upperciass
man on the starting five, cool-
playing Joe is a two-year veteran
and one or the teams top scorers

Who Was The Fool?
Yesterday, for those of you
who patronized the sport page,
we ran a special April Fool's
issue.
For those of you who have
been puzzled by some of the
statements made, Nebraska has
not seceded from the union
and Bill Glassford is still the
Nebraska baseball coach.
I've actually heard students
seriously opine that "There
sure was a lot of mistakes on
the sport page."
It was all in good fun and
written in good faith. Any
similarity to yesterday's page
3 -and serious journalistic en
deavors is purely ridiculous.
