Shooting At Sports
x-Hmker Cerv Could Be
Sent To Baltimore Team
By GARY FRANDSEN
Sports Editor
Bob Cerv, the former University of Nebraska flychaser and
presently fighting for an ' outer garden berth with the World
Champion New Yorlc Yankees, busted back into the exhibition
baseball headlines after a week's lapse by blasting homers on
Sunday and Monday.
The Weston, Neb., strongboy came in as a pinch-hitter iiwthe
eighth inning of yesterday's skirmish with the Cincinnati Reds
and promptly smashed a four-bagger with a mate aboard off
one of the Redlegs aces, Harry Perkowski, to tie up the game at
1-3. The Yanks went on to lose though when the Reds pushed
across a tally in the top of the ninth.
On Sunday the husky Cerv unloaded a tremendous 420-foot
poke that cleared the centerfield boards. That blow came in &
game with Paul Richards' Chicago White Sox in which the Yanks
bowed 7-5.
Exactly a week before that Bob got his only other round
tripper of the Grapefruit season. It was a three-run smash in the
second inning that enabled the Yanks to jump to a quick lead over
the St. Louis Cardinals. In addition, Cerv rattled off a single.
The Yanks won the game 10-7.
.
WHILE TALKING about Cerv and his recent accomplishments
in fighting for a job with crafty Casey Stengel and his fabulous
Yankees, we noticed this little item about the former Husker
athlete in the "Rumor Roundup" appearing in this week's THE
SPORTING NEWS.
According to the rumblings out of St. Petersburg, Fla., a
package deal between the Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles is
growing hot. The Yankees are said to be offering First Baseman
Eddie Robinson, Cerv and a pitcher for either Pitcher Bob Turley
or Don Larsen, two young and promising twirlers, and an unnamed
Oriole.
If that proposed deal should happen to go through, it could
be the break to send Cerv well on his way in becoming an
established star in the American League. It is no secret that
Bob swings one of the most powerful bats in baseball today and
Manager Jim Dykes at Baltimore would more than welcome an
individual like that
Cerv also has a very impressive minor league record behind
him at Kansas City, but like many ballplayers he can't consistently
come through with maximum performances unless he gets a
chance to play every day. During his brief stints with the parent
club Bob didn't show too much mainly because his appearances
were too few and far between.
It seems to us that Cerv would stand an excellent chance
of playing regularly with the Orioles. In the past, the Orioles
(then the St. Louis Browns) have lacked the necessary punch to
do much of anything in the American League scramble. A change
might do wonders for Cerv; it did for Jackie Jensen when the
Yanks traded him to the Washington Nationals.
THE INJURY jinx apparently is still making the rounds in
the Florida circuit. Latest to be added to the unfortunate list
of cripples is fleet-footed Bobby Thomsen, a hard-hitting out
fielder recently acquired by the Milwaukee Braves from the New
York Giants.
Thomsen fractured his right ankle sliding into second base
attempting to break up a double-play try against the Yankees
Saturday. The Flying Scot now joins two other established stars,
Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle, who are out indefinitely with
injuries.
WHILE GLANCING through the new 1954 WORLD ALMA
NAC we came across some interesting information that might be
forgotten in the minds of some by now.
There's a Nebraska angle twisted among some of the American
Collegiate track and field records. Don Cooper, a former star
Husker vaulter for Coach Ed Weir, still holds the collegiate mark
In his pet event, the pole vault Cooper soared 15 feet Va Inch
during the Kansas Relays in Lawrence on April 21, 1S51.
Cooper is currently coaching in a Denver high school. We
chatted for a minute with the ex-Husker at halftime of this year's
Colorado-Nebraska basketball game at Boulder in February.
Sam Iness, the present holder of the collegiate discuss mark,
set his record throw on the University of Nebraska outdoor track
layout during the National AAU championships in Lincoln last
June. The University of California husky flipped the "discus a
mighty 190 feet, inches. ,
Bryant Reports
Bill Glassford Pleased With
Progress Of NU Gridders
After sending his University of
Nebraska football team through
a long outdoor drill Monday,
Coach Bill Glassford expressed
that he was especially pleased
with the way the squad has
made progress in fundamentals
and team morale.
The head Husker mentor also
believes that the squad U ahead
f last year's pace. Glassford
might stage a game-like scrim
mage Saturday if the weather
co-operates so he can get a bet
ter idea n the depth and qual
ity of his line material.
The Scarlet squad now totals
an even 70 with Guard Charlie
Bryan making his initial appear
ance. He was a member of the
Nebraska wrestling squad which
just recently finished their sea
son by participating in the Big
Seven meet at Manhattan,
Kansas.
Two boys checked in their
togs Monday, Tom Harper, an
outstanding guard prospect from
Omaha, quit in order to devote
more time to his studies and
Bill Brown, a candidate from
Cambridge, has dropped out of
the University.
Glassford said he changed the
lineups around somewhat to give
every boy a chance, but other
wise they have no significance.

For A
Clouse Leads Independent Kings; Brandon Paces Losers
Hloiniors
By FRANK SORENSON
Sports Staff Writer
One of the toughest games of
the season wound up the All-University
Intramural Basket ball
Tournament with the Independent
kings, the Dubbers, playing one ot
their best games of the season
in rocking the Fraternity cham
pions, Sigma Phi Epsilon, 43-40
for the All-U title.
Fighting back from a 15-5 defi
cit midway in the first quarter,
the new champions were a team
that just wouldn't be beaten.
Playing the entire first quarter
without their ace rebounder, Lee
Dobler, the winners could only
manage three fielders while the
contenders, determined to end
the winning streak amassed by
the Independent kings, started a
scoring barrage reminiscent of
their rampage over the Phi Delts
two nights before.
JIM WALSH, for the fourth
game in a row, opened the scor
ing from the charity line only to
hate the Dubber's Keith Clouse
tie it up and then shoot ahead
i-1 on two free tosses by Bob
Pelligrino.
Don Peters then hit a tip-in to
deadlock the game at 3-3. Corky
Engle quickly put the Sig Eps
ahead again with a jump shot to
start a net-burning session which
lasted until the end of the quar
ter. The Sig Eps' prolific forward,
Dave Brandon, then hit a "Goose
Tatum" shot and quickly followed
np with two more lay-ins for an
11-5 margin.
Duane Schmelling and Walsh
rippled the cords, followed by a
lone one-hander by the Dubber's
Hal Andrews and a lay-in by Phil
Haas for a 16-9 Sig Ep lead at the
end of the first ten minutes.
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING
the tipoff, Clouse hit two of his
pet jump shots" interspersed with
a side shot by Pelligrino to pull
within one point of the leaders.
The tardy Dobler then dumped
an all-important tip-in to put the
winners ahead 17-16 to stay with
3:15 left in the half.
Clouse tallied with . two more
jump shots followed by a gift
shot by the Sig Eps J. Benedict
and a charity toss by Andrews
for a 24-17 halftime margin. Bene
dict hit the only point for the
losers who went cold supplemen
ted by excellent rebounding from
the Dubbers in the disastrous sec
ond stanza.
With 40 seconds gone in the sec
ond half Brandon hit a gift shot
to bring the deficit to six points
only to have Andrews, Jensen and
Clouse hit fielders before Bran
don could find the range again to
bring the count to 32-20. Schmel
ling, Walsh and Brandon again
hit to bring the count to 27-33 go
ing into the final frame.
THE BIG fourth quarter almost
proved the downfall of the win
ners as the Sig Eps put on a
Brandon-engineered drive which
proved almost successful. Two
buckets by Brandon and one by
Walsh brought them within two
tallies of the Dubbers at 33-35.
Corky Eagle and Peters each
hit a charity toss while Pelligrino
hit two to bring the score to 37-35.
Immediately after Brandon again
closed the gap to one point, Pelli
grino hit two clutch tosses for a
40-36 margin.
Walsh hit the last two buckets
for the Fraternity champs while
two gift tosses by Chick Jensen
provided the All-University cham
pions the margin for victory.
Dave Brandon took scoring hon
ors with an 18-point effort while
Keith Clouse led the champions
with 15 markers.

Good Weather
Hoped For All
Sports Day
"All we need is a weather
break."
So says Bob Davis, Nebraska
backfield coach and chairman of
All-Sports Day which will b
held March 27 at the University
of Nebraska.
This will be the fifth annual
renewsf of this day of sports at
the University. It will be cli
maxed by a football game at 2
p.m.
In the two previous years th
date was moved to May In tha
hope of getting fair weather.
But in each instance the mix
tur of moisture and cold winds
made the day a bit rugged for
spectators.
Head Football Coach Bill
Glassford decided to switch
spring practice to March this
j-ear in order to avoid conflict
with other spring sports.
Aside from football, there will
be tennis, baseball, track, bas
ketball and swimming on the
program which will start at 9
a.m. and continue throughout the
morning and afternoon.
