Jennings Opens Spring Football;
Huskers Prepare For All-Sports Day
By BOB MARTEL
Sports Editor
Pigskins filled the air yesterday
afternoon as Bill Jennings put his
charges through their first session
of spring practice.
The Husker mentor's big prog-
lem will be filling the middle of the
line vacated by Jim Murphy, Bob
Berguin and LaVerne Torczon.
Main candidates, for these three

positions include; guards Jerry Pe
terson, switched over from tackle,
Charlie Tsoukalas, an end on last
season's squad, JJon Kampe and
Art Klein and centers Dick Mc-
Cashland and Dick Prussia.
Jennings has lettermen available
at all positions with the exception
of left halfback. Five sophomores
will be battling for that position.
They include: Carroll Zaruba,
Don Patton, Jerry Schroeder, Dale
Siefkes, Doug Watkins and Roger
Kaltenberger.
The quarterback slot Is up for
grabs with nine candidates hust
ling for the all important position,
Three lettermen and a sophomore
seem to have the early inside
track. George Harshman, Roy Stin
nett, Doug Thomas, last season's
second unit fullback, and Jim
Hergenreter, up from the yearling
squad, are the leading candidates.
George Cifra has returned to
school to help bolster the fullback
spot. This position seems to be
the strongest on the squad. With
Jerry Brown, who is skipping
spring drills because of an injury,
leading the pack and Leo George
and Cifra backing him up, the
Huskers are fat in the bread and
Ibutter slot.
Returning ends include lettermen
Stu Howerter, Marlin Hilding', Clar-
encj Cook, Mike Lee and squad
member Bill Edwards. They should
receive help from ex-Boys Town
star Glen Hepburn.
Don Rhoda, Bob Lyall, Mai
Dohrman, Jerry Wheeler Dick
Klingman and Bob Fleming lead
the tackle hopefuls, while Larry
Naviaux, "Gene Sandage and Du
ane Buchtel lead the right half
back candidates.

Yankees Picked To Win
As Spring Practice Opens
By BOB WIRZ
Staff Sports Writer
Who can stop the New York
Yankees? '
This seems to be the big prob
lem again in 1957 in the American
League. Casey Stengel and his big
bombers are now in St. Peters
burg, Florida, in spring training
and the entire squad is in the
fold. Don (perfect-game) Larsen
igned his contract and thus be
came the last Yankee to do so.
Stengel seems well set at this
early stage, in the game for the

looks ahead
upcoming season. Every position
seems taken except third base and
left field. Last spring it was short
stop and Gil McDougald filled
that position very well.
Andy Carey is again the lead
ing candidate for the third base
job. Carey must improve at bat
or surrender his position to an
other hopeful. Stengel indicated
earlier this year that first base
man Bill Skowran may get a trial
at third. Another possibility is
Billy Martin if young Bobby Rich
ardson improves at second.
The leftfield job could go to any
number of mem Top candidates
are Norm Siebern, Tony Kubek,
Bob Martyn, Enos Slaughter and
others. Siebern, spent about half
of last year with the Yanks but
didn't produce to well. Kubek and
Martyn played at Denver last
season and are presently in the
Yankee rookie school in St. Pete.
Slaughter returned to New York
from Kansas City in the final
months of the season and was a
great asset in the pennant .firive
and in the World Series. The old
war horse stands a good chance
of starting this campaign in the
outer garden.
Others expected to start the
coming campaign are Yogi Berra,
behind the plate; Skowron on
first unless he switches to third
base; Martin, second base; Mc
Dougald, shortstop; Mickie Man
tle, center field;, and Hank Bauer,
right field.
Mantle and Berra are counted
on for good seasons. Unless Mic
key has knee trouble he will go
good and Berra will again be the

old head in the lineup.
On the hill Casey has all of last
year's stars back plus two he
picked up from KC in the big
player trade of two weeks ago.
Southpaw Whitey Ford tops the
list of candidates. He is followed
by righthanders Larsen, Bob Tur
ley, Tom Sturdivent, Bob Grim,
Johnny Kucks, and Art Dittmar.
Dittmar was the key to the Feb
ruary trade and figures to become
one of Stengel's regular hurlers.
He posted a 12-22 record with low
ly KC last season. Bobby Shantz
also was acquired in that deal.
Shantz will probably spend most
of his time in the bullpen and
probably will be a spot starter.
The Yankee bench will also be
strong as usual. Joe Collins, Jerry
Coleman, and the versatile Elston
Howard top the list of reserves.
The Yankees also hope to come
up with a top rookie or two from
their early school. This school has
produced such men in the past
as Grim and .Kucks.
Some of the kids who could come
through are Kubek, Martyn, Marv
Throneberry, Al Cicotte or one of
the lesser kr.owns. Throneberry is
a first baseman and Cicotte a
right handed pitcher. j
But whether, any stars develop
or not- it looks like it will be the
Yankees again on top of the list
in the American League pennant
race.
Tomorrow read our choice for
second place in the American
League. 7
Eight potential squad members
are passing up spring ' drills be

They include: Frank Nappi, Brown,

Spring practice will be climaxed
on April 6 with the annual Alum
ni-Varsity game, one of the attrac
tions at All-Sports Day.
Tourney Time
For Huskers
Nebraska's swimming ami wrest
ling teams will journey to Norman,
Oklahoma this weekend for their
respective Big Seven champion
ship meets.
Swimming coach Hollie Lepley
will place his main hopes on the
divers Bill Tagney and last year's
Big-Seven Champion Gene Cotter.
These men have staged a close
diving duel all year long with Tag
ney winning six times and Cotter
four.
Another Lepley hope should be
Carl Bodensteiner who is a top
free syler in the 220 and 440 yard
distances. Carl has scored consist
ently against Big Seven foes and
should place.
Charlie Arizumi and Fritz Helms-
doerfer are two more tankmen
who have scored consistently this
year. Arizumi 's event is tne 200
yard backstroke and Helmsdoerf
er's the 200 yard breaststroke and
200 yard butterfly.
Jerry Farrell and Ron Renter
should provide the spark for NU
in the 50 and 100 yard freestyles
along with Tagney who has done
quite well in these events. Other
expected to see action are Doug
Schoor and Jim Pokorny.
Coach Don Strashime of the
wrestling team will be hoping for
an improvement over last years
tail end finish. His prayers will
rest with Gil Nielson 123 lbs, Ken
McKee 130 lbs, Gail Baum 137,
Norlin Cooper 147, John Anderson,
157, Bill LaFleur, 167, Jack Bry
ans, 177 and Don Brand Heavy
weight. Brand has been the most con
sistant grappler this year and
should give any of the big men a
rough time.
Gail Baum who gave Dean Cor
ner, last years Big-Seven champ
in the 137 pound class, one of his
roughest matches last Saturday
might score quite high for the Husk
ers. Bill LaFleur, who scored the
only Victory for the bonebenders
against Iowa State, could pick up
some needed points.

Thompson Honored
Gary Thompson, Iowa State
whiz kid has been given an award
on the ninth annual "small Ameri

Press. Thompson (5' 10") was
rated in first place alongside with
Chet (The Jet) Forte, 5'9", of
Columbia.
Final Week
For Hoopsters
- Two home games this week
close ' out the 1956-1957 basketball
season. Coach Jerry Bush and his
Huskers currently are on a four
game losing streak and have a
season's record of 9 wins and 12
losses.
Opponents this week are Okla
homa on Wednesday night and
Iowa State Saturday evening.
The Sooners will be fighting Ne
braska in an attempt to get out of
the cellar. The two squads are
currently tied for . sixth place.
Coach Doyle Parrack has only five
lettermen back from last year's
seventh pace club. They are: Ed
Abbey, Max Claiborne, Joe Jones,
Art Kell, and Joe Kins'. Add these
five to a good sophomore crop and
you have an improved ball team.
King is a junior from Norman.
Last season as a spphomore his
play was good enough to rank him
on the All-Big Seven team. The
6-6'4 200 pounder is averaging
around 20 points per game this
season and does a brilliant job of
rebounding.
Don Schwall a 6-5V4 . sophomore
is the number two scorer for the
Sooners. Schwall scored 23 points
last week at the Huskers' expense
in Oklahoma. The Sooners won that
game 55-53.
