NO
Will 'Potsy's' Resignation
Solve Rushers' Problems?
4
By GEORGE PAYNICH
Sports Editor
What surprised me most of
11 about the resignation of
"Potsy" Clark as Athletic Di
rector as Nebraska, was not the
fact that he resigned, for
powerful critics had labeled
'Potsy" for extermination some
time ago. The amusing thing to
me was now "surprised every
one was by the action!
Clark stated he would not
make an "issue" of his resig
nation, why not? Many people
believe as I v
do that while
"Potsy" may
not have been
the most in
denenden t
athletic dlrec
t o r around,
he surely
seems to be ; M t
the "fall guy"
In this setup.
The big Is
sue has been Courtesy Lincoln Journal
and will be Paynlch
. NU Football. We personally
don't believe therefore that the
people of this state were as dis
gusted with other phases of the
athletic program as some of
their letters to editors indicated.
Already sports editors and
Itportswriters In the state are
vowing iii aiLvii man bu
take over the helm of the ath
letic department. Please don't
make him too strong! Ball
players need more than tough
men around. After all they
could use a little understanding
now and then.
Speaking from personal ex
perience as a Nebraska football
f ilayer, I would say the most
important thing for the Nebraska
athletic department to better
the situation here is for the de
partment to start taking better
x care or tneir athletes once tney
are here.
We're not advising giving
, more to the nlavers. hut rather
to continue to give them what
has been promised. Too many
Jobs have been taken from
piayers wno nave counted on
them and In general too many
promises have been "forgotten
about" to make any player at
u nappy ror long. I personally
haven't been hit by such tac
tics, out I know boys who have,
Why not try to make the ball
player happy? If the boys aren't
happy the word gets around via
the grape-vine and before you
know it the preps are in on it
also. This fall with the material
they had all season, the Huskers
could never be world-beaters,
but there are many boys who
could have at least added to
team speed who left Nebraska
for other schools.
Why did they go? Not all of
them left simply because they
couldn't mak" the team, most
left because they couldn't take
what was being handed out
mostlv verballv. Petty things
like this shouldn't be a part of
anv athletic program.
They say you have to be
tough to play the game . Be
lleve me, there are things a lot
tougher thsn physical contact
Anv ex-soldier who has had the
experience of some toufh serg
eant continuallv heckling him
has experienced it.
Looking back we see that
Preacher Franklin, Ralph Fife,
Neal Mehring and Pete Janetos
were members of the coaching
staff of the winnintrest team in
post-war years and the resigned
also. . Strange isn't it?
As long as Mr. Clark has de
elded to make no issue on thi
sublect we will never know the
Inside story. We can onlv sit
back and ask "who's next?"
It is also our belief that Ne
braska had better stoo that
wild-goose chase for a winning
football team with present tac
tics . Gee mavbe I shouldn't
sav that, for Clark went by the
rules didn't he? And isn't he
gone now?
Could be Nebraska will be on
Its way back to the grid power
list now. Maybe "Potsy" was
the guy holding us back, what
do you think?

Clark's Successor?
With the resignation of George
"Potsy" Clark as athletic
director at Nebraska, specula
tion is high on his successor.
The name of present Head
Football Coach Bill Glassford
has been mentioned by some
sportswriters as a likely can
didate for the post. Glassford
left Lincoln Thursday for
coaching duties in the Blue
Gray game. (Nebraskan

Yankees, A's
In Big Trade
Tn an 11-nlaver deal Wednes
day that startled much of the
baseball world, the world cham
ninn New York Yankees acauired
First Baseman Eddie Robinson
and Pitcher Harrv Bvrd from the
Philadelphia Athletics in exchange
for Negro First Baseman V l c
Power, Outfielder Bill Renna and
First Baseman Don Bollweg.
The swan, trreatest numerically
in Yankee history, also involved
the Yankees' Kansas Citv farm
club of the American Association
and the return of $25,000 to the
A's in the sale of Third Baseman
Loren'Babe last year.
BESIDES THE big five in the
deal, here are the other players
involved in the transaction:
The A's sent Babe, First Base
man Tom Hamilton, and Out
fielder Carmen Mauro to Kansas
City while in return they received
Catcher Al Robertson, Pitcher
John Gray and Third Baseman
Jim Fmnegan. .
Hamilton was the regular lirst
baseman with the Lincoln A's in
1950-51. His best year was in 1951
when he hit .297.
IN ADDITION the Yankees
promised they would option two
Kansas City players to Ottawa,
the Athletics' International League
farm team although the Yanks
would still retain possession of
the players involved.
Although the A's were appar
ently Dleased with the deal, it is
no secret that the Yankees thought
it was super-wonderful for them.

Good said of both regon clubs.
