Pro football fcll-wera scanned
pro draft lists lar-t week hoping
tbey might find the name of some
body from their college.
Nebraska ns ware hoping to find
the name cf the human battering
ram, J&rry Ercwn, listed among
those of the top d'.'aft choices. It
wasn't there. Evidently the pro
clubs feel they can save Jerry for
the later rounds of the draft.
It is no disgrace not to be se
lected in the early rounds of the
draft. Few Nebrsskans are. That ,
does not mean that Nebraskans
don't deserve to be.
Ex-Hurkcra Active
Nsbraskans in the pro leagues
are not sitting on the benches.
They are valuable assets to their
teams.

die LeBaron ran all over the field
gainst the Chicago Bears, and
won the admiration of all who
watched his antics. They did not
pay much attention to the behe
moths in the line who were holding
the defense back.
One of these linemen was Don
Boll, a 270 pound tackle who
played for Nebraska from 1950
K. Don la one of the chief reason;
why the Washington Redskins are
a running club rather than a pass
ing club. He is one of the top
blockers In the pro leagues, and
one of the pro football yearbooks
classed him as one of the "class"
blockers of the league.
Boll is a member of a small
froup of notables on the Redskins.
H is of the class "untouchable",
hlch means that he is one of
the few men Joe Kuharich won't
trade.
Husma-n wth Cardinals
A Nebrpslrrn on the Card'r,2l
l"uad is Ed Husmsnx Husma-n

ress when he 'rii t:-e Card'naLs.
He started as a u'.ility lineman
who could play end, linebacker,
or tackle, at the coaches demand.
This -ear he fought hi way to
a starting bith as a tackle.
Husmano is a rather unusual
fevm of football player. He is the
'late bloomer" type. His coaches in
high school saw little hope for Ed.

Kuharich Is challenging another
Nebraskan, Ray Richards, for the
title of champion trader in the
league. Both men took clubs which
were mired deeply in the second
division and made them into re
spectable teams via the trade
route.
Richards wants a championship
bad and doesn't resort to a fa-
voriXe pro habit of crying about the
personnel, and the fact that the
personnel isn't suited for the
straight brand of the T.
Richards Used Split-T
Richards took a step that many
college coaches were wondering
if the Pros ever would take. He
installed the split-T.
Richards had a reason. H i s
quarterback, Lamar McHan, is not
a passer, and thus is not the best
choice for the role of a T quar
terback. Richards knew this, and
he also knew that McHan was a
runner. So he used McHan to spark
the Cardinals into a battle for the
championship. Unfortunately the
spark wasn't large enough, and the
New York Giants won the cham
pionship. This year Richards was trying
to keep from sinking into the sec
ond division and he switched from
the split-T to the Slot-T. He Is not
satisfied with anything less than
the best that the tear has. And
be will use new offensive forma
tions to get it.
N Club Plans Dance
The N Club will hold a semi
formal dinner-dance in the Stu

With the familiar Saturday after
noon din of college football now
fading into history, it is time for
sportswriters everywhere to pick
their favorites f-f conference se
lections.
As everywhere else, the Big
Eight has many all-conference
teams chosen for their stellar per
formances on the gridiron during
the past season.
Many football greats have par
ticipated in Big Eight football but
the 1957 mythical 11 picked by the
sports writers of the Daily Ne
braskan in conjunction with the
sports staff of KNUS radio need
not look up to any farmed before
them.
The Big Eight team had three
players chosen to various all-Amer-ican
teams around the nation and
boasts one of the best teams in
the nation.

Smith Happy With Cornhuskers
By DON WILLEY
Sports Reporter
Dan Brand, Nebraska heavy
weight wrestler, entered the Iowa
State Teachers Tournament a vir
tual unknown and emerged with
glory splashed all over himself.
Brand probably became the best
known wrestler in the tournament :
by taking the heavyweight title.
In winning the championship
Brand defeated the Iowa, and Min-1
nesota state champions.
Concentration is Brand's biggest j
asset. Even in practice where
there is room for horse play and
a chance to take things easy,
Brand is concentrating on only
one thing, getting the shoulders of
his opponent flat on the mat for
a pin.
Fitzgerald Third
Pat Fitzgerald, 177, finished
third in the tournament. His only
. . . , r,: '
defeat came from the Big Ten
champion who represented Iowa
University.
Freshman Lee Bigelow gave Bill
Smith hope for next year. With
no college wrestling behind him
except in the wrestling room dur
ing practice, Bigelow proceeded to
place fourth in the tournament in
the 157 pound class.
Nielson Beatrn
Gil Nielson, 115, almost made
! the finals. He was ahead by a
I score of 2-0, when suddenly his
opponent came to life and defeated
him. His opponent went to the fi
nals. Ken McKee, 137, gave a good
acccount of himself, but lost to the
Iowa representative who went on
to win the championship.

mythical grid squad is heavily
filled with Oklahoma players. Five
Sooners landed berths on this hy
pothetical club.
Only one sophomore, the stellar
tailback of the Iowa State Cyclones
this season, Dwight Nichols,
crashed the ranks to take his place
on the team.
There was also two juniors on
the squad in the persons of crash
ing fullback Hank Kuhlman of
Missouri and stalwart center of
the Sooner team, Bob Harrison.

Nebraska's Cornhuskers lost

Bob Stransky, leagues leading

Colorado and all-American and
Clendon Thomas of Oklahoma who
also made various selections as
all-American in the backfield.
Krisher Top Lineman
The Nebraskan-KNUS selections
for top lineman was Bill Krisher
while "Stop-and-go" Stransky was
the choice for the top back in the
conference. Stransky was the laed-
ing rusher in the league wiht 1,097
yards and leading scorer in the
loop with 77 points.
Although the Big Red of Ne
Heavyweight Title;
ing freshman wrestler, didn't have
a chance to go into the finals. He
met the 137 pound champion and
was defeated.
This comes as a great surprise
to many wrestling followers, since
Bill Smith says Thompson is one
of the finet wrestling prospects
to come to the University. He is a
freshman, however, and still has
an opportunity to make a better
showing at the tournament next
year.
Baum Beaten
Gail Baum, 147, was another
one of the Huskers who didn't get
a chance to move into the finals
He was defeated by the 147 cham
pion in the early rounds.
Winning one match on points,
and two others by forfeit, Bill La

Smith Happy
"I'm real happy with all of
them," Bill Smith said, summing
up his and Nebraska's feelings to
ward the wrestling team.
There was no team scoring, but
it is suspected that the Nebraska
team would have finished high in
the rankings.
There was one thing that
Smith was not happy with. He
emphasizes conditioning in his ef
forts to produce a winner, and
many of the wrestler's were tired

Busy Week
In Big Eight
Twelve Big-Eight games high
light this week's action as college
basketball heads into its second
week of the campaign.
The teams representing the Big
Eight Conference began the sea
son with a bang last week as they
racked up 15 wins against only 6
losses. Kansas heads the list with
three wins in as many outings. The
Wildcats of Kansas State are also
undefeated as they won both of
their games. Missouri, Oklahoma
and Nebraska each have 2-1 rec
ords against out-of-conference foes
and Iowa State, Oklahoma State
and Colorado each have one win
against one loss.
Saturday night the Huskers re
turn to action on their home floor
as they take on a rugged Purdue
team which routed Missouri 76-49,
Saturday. Kansas plays at St. Jo
seph's and undefeated Kansas
State will attempt to run its win
ning streak to three straight
against Iowa's sophomore-studded
lineup.
