Riley paced the Huskers to a ninth place tie in the NCAA finals last year. The Nebraska star is considered one of the finest gymnasts in the country. The three-year letterman will be joined by Wayne Strickler, DuWayne Funnan, Ervin Krist and Bob MacDonald. Riley and Strickler have teamed up on several occasions this year to pace the NU aggregation. Gymnastics at Nebraska is one of the most successful sports this year.

In one game last year he wiffled 17 opponents. Handling Greenlaw's slants will be Jim Kana, a sophomore from Wisner. Kane has looked very good thus far and could be the man to fill Murray Backhus' shoes. The infield will consist of John Beideck at first base, Al Karle, second base, Norm Coufal, short stop and Don Brown at third base. Coufal and Brown are lettermen and will bat third and fourth re spectively. Brown was the big man with the stick last year. His power spelled victory for the Hus ker nine on several occasions last spring. The outer gardeners will be Don Erway in left field, Frank Nappi in center field and Larry Lewis in right field. Erway, veteran catcher, has been switched to the outfield because of knee trouble. Other hurlers expected to see action during the southern swing are portsiders Dick Geier, Roger Bottorff, Charles Ziegenbein and righthanders Gene Torczon and Bruce Fairchild.

Progress: Vacation HaltsSpring Grid Drills The first week of spring practice being finished, the Husker grid ders have a week's vacation to rest their weary bones. The opening sessions consisted primarily of agility and speed drills and some light scrimmage work. The first two days were de voted to defense while the latter two stressed offense. Movies were taken at yesterday's session so the players could be identified. Coach Elliott anticipated more personnel changes after they get into more defensive work. Play ers will be screened after vacation and there will be at least 44 or 55 placed on the first unit. There will be no cuts this spring, Elliott said, "I sincerely don't be lieve a coach can give up on any boy. You just cant tell when prac tice will pay off and hell develop enough to be a big help." Coach Elliott announced that 15 men listed earlier on the advanced roster have not reported for prac tice and have had their uits picked up.

Starting off the balloting is the all-stars from the Fraternity-B league. Two members of the Delta Tau Delta five, winners of the B-league championships, landed berths on the first quintet. On unanimous choice, Larry Naviaux and Bob Aden were the forwards. These two were the main sparks of the Delt aggregation that tied for first with the Alpha Tau Ome-ga-B team during toe regular sea son and then downed the Corn husker Co-op for the B title. At center on the first five was the center of the Phi Gamma Delta quintet, Bob Banner. Banner paced the Phi Gam's to third place in the Fraternity-B, League-8 class.

Lamphere of the Delt's, Herb Mayer of Phi Kappa Psi and Phil Strictly Sports Talk By BOB MAR TEL Nebraska Sports Reporter In collegiate athletics, the emphasis is on major sports. Football and basketball are given the major coverage and football is the only event to which students flock in large numbers. If you asked the average co-ed on the campus why she attended football games, she would probably reply that it was because everyona else went. I would venture to say that 40 of the people walking through the turnstills at a collegiate grid contest don't know beans about the sport. They are learning to appreciate the game by watching It. If this is so for football, then why not for the other sports. This past season the basketball team played on the most part to a partially filled coliseum. I admit that the hoop squad was no giant killer, but the gridders did not exactly sail through their schedule. If it is a fad to attend football games, then let's make it a fad to support all our teams. The sports that are qualified as minor have proved to be mora consistent winners than the highly publicized football and basketball squads. Our gymnastics squad is one of the best anywhere. Bruce Riley does not have to take a back seat to anyone. Our baseball team compiled a record of IS wins and five losses last season which is a very good season in any one's book. HoUie Lepley's mermen have the only Big Seven champion on th campus. Arnold Morton was outstanding as a collegiate wrestler this year. Sure the wrestling, track and basketball teams have had mediocre seasons, but so what? We all like winning teams, but whether or not they win they still represent Nebraska and if for no other reason, we should back them to the hilt. This season the wrestlers competed after basketball games, yet practically no one stayed to cheer them on. The swimming team has performed before crowds so small that they couldn't even fill the very small spectator area beside the pool. The tennis team has trouble drawing flies. These boys are not lepers but young men representing your school. They are playing the game for love of the sport only. I can imagine how they feel when they receive their letters in the Coliseum. Everyone applauds but no one ever takes time enough to watc bem perform. The season of so called minor sports is here. The baseball, golf and tennis squads open their campaigns away from home this weekend. I'm positive they will play before bigger crowds on the road than they are accustomed to playing to at home. When they return and begin their home season let's all turn out and spread some of that Comhusker spirit. Let's support all the teams from golf to football and let's stay be hind them, WIN or LOSE.
