Kiffin
Monte Kiffin, high school
Ail-American tackle from
' Lexington, will enroll at the
University next fall, accord
ing to Husker football
coach, Bill
Jennings.
Kiffin has
been the cen
ter of a live
ly, recruiting
rivalry be
tween Ne
braska and
0 k 1 ahoma.
The 6'3" sen
ior s t a r,
twice a bas
ketball all stater and an all
around athlete, had said ear
lier that he would announce
his decision sometime after
the state high school track
and field meet.
Jennings commented, "We
are mighty pleased that Mon
te selected Nebraska."
Policy Violation
Oklahoma coach Bud Wil
kinson made a special trip
to Lexington to visit Kiffin a
week ago. Jennings then ac
cused his former boss of vio
lating a policy that he him
self had put into effect at
Oklahoma. Wilkinson had said
that he would not visit Kiffin
until he announced that he
was no longer considering Ne
braska. K 1 f f I n 'i announcement
brought to four the number
of high school athletes from
Lexington's undefeated f o o t
ball team of last fall who
have chosen Nebraska.
The other Lexington . lads
who have already decided to
matriculate at Nebraska are
center Mickey Tinglehoff and
backs Dallas Dyer and Steve
Smith.
It was a banner day for
Nebraska in the recruiting de
partment. Basketball coach
Jerry Bush announced
that Ed Van Vliet and Tom
Dowling, mainstays of Oma
ha North's standout basket
ball combination last winter,
will also enroll at the Uni
versity. 1 '
Van Vliet, who stands 6'3",
was an All-City player in the
Omaha area. Dowling is 6'6".
All-State Class E selection
LeRoy Dick of Hampton is the
third basketball star who will
enroll at Nebraska next fall,
according to Bush. Dick, a
6'4" center, was first in his
class scholastically and won a
Regent's Scholarship. ,

Brown was Brown
switched to fullback after a
year at guard. He earned all
conference honors his junior
-4
year and mention his senior
year. He was awarded the
"Most Valuable Player"
award which is given each
year in honor of Nebraska s
great All American Tom No
vak. The Minden powerhouse
was the leading ground gain
er for the Huskers the past
two seasons.
McCashland, with another
year to go, may step in
to Brown's shoes at the full
back slot. He also was moved
to the backfield from a line
position. As a junior, Dick
punished opposing ball car
riers, attacking from his line
backers position. Dick is a
prime example of a good sin
gle platoon player. He is a
good blocker, he has proved to
De a fine runner m spring
drills, and his line backing
ability speaks for itself.
Fitzpatrick in his one, glo
rious year on the Cornhusker
basketball team gave fans
many a thrill with his shoot
ing, playmaking, and re
bounding. One of the "Iron
Six" who beat Kansas and
K-State, Willy never flustered
N-club, was a great credit to
coach Hollie Lepley's swim
ming team. He was the num
ber two scorer on the team
the past season. In tennis, he
has played in the number one
slot, and has led the team
to their most successful sea
son in the last six years.
Other Nominees
Other nominees for the
award are Keith Gardner,
Gary Reimers, George Fisk,
Dan Brand, Jim Kubaki, Jim
Kane and Dwight Siebler.

Coliseum Beat

The announcement by football coach Bill Jennings that
Monte Kiffin intends to attend Nebraska -next fall should
give the Cornhusker recruiters a much easier time of it out
state. Kiffin had 'become a symbol of recruiting success to
the rest of the state. Monte's decision will undoubtedly in
fluence other prep standouts to attend the University.
However, it is doubtful if the influence of Kiffin's deci
sion will extend into Omaha. For some reason, Omaha has
been an unfriendly part of Nebraska when it comes to send
ing athletes to the University. Most common choice by the
big city lads when it comes to selecting schools is Iowa
State. Omaha University also snags some of the Beef City's
standout players.
The most outstanding examples of this in recent years
have been the cases of Bill Englehardt and Emil Radik,
the touchdown twins of Omaha's great teams of a couple
of years back. Both these men could have been standout
ballplayers at Nebraska and both gave the Cornhusker
school a try. Neither stuck. Englehardt gave up at the end
of his freshman year. Radik played his sophomore season
for Nebraska as an end before transferring.
Last summer, I spent a good deal of time traveling about
the countryside with a track and wrestling coach from Oma
ha who shall remain incognito. (No there is no dark and
mysterious secret. I just can t remember his name.) Osten
sibly, my friend and I were public relations men for the
Madison County Agricultural Society. (I'll come to them
later.) Actually our main occupation was delivering placards,
tax tickets and free passes to the Madison Races.
Some of the towns out west get a little far apart, so my
friend and I spent a good deal of our travel time discussing
the athletic situation. (Which was deplorable because the
Phillies were at the time taking dead aim on fifth place.)
My friend let drop that Omaha coaches weren't over-enthusiastic
about the University. The reason, according to this
source, was that some of them felt that Omaha boys had
gotten too little recognition by the Nebraska coaches and
students.
If this is the case, these coaches have fallen into a trap
that their own profession has laid for them. Any good coach
will tell you that recognition comes with performance. If
a boy doesn't produce, no matter how good he was in high
school, he won't be recognized.
Moreover, the competition is so stiff at a large state in
stitution that a lot of boys who were high school standouts
are not able to grab the headlines anymore. This doesn't
mean that they aren't making a valuable contribution to
their team, but that someone else is making a more spec
tacular one.

Huskers Face Wildcats;

Fourth Place Standing
At Stake, Torczon May Shift
The Nebraska Cornhuskers
baseball team, spoilers of the
Big Eight baseball race, trav
el to Manhattan, Kansas this
week end for a series with
Kansas State. These will be
the final three games on the
Cornhusker's schedule.
Both Kansas and Oklaho
ma were dealt mighty blows
when the Husker baseballers
won two out of three games
and thus deflated any hopes
of the Jayhawks and Soon
er's chances for the Big Eight
title.
Could Better Standing
Nebraska's present record
is 9-9 in Big Eight competi
tion and 14-10 overall. If Kan
sas wins all three games
against Oklahoma, and the
Huskers sweep three from
Kansas State, the Huskers
could better their fifth place
standing.
Jim Kane, Husker catcher
and a candidate for all-conference
and other honors, is
now leading the hitters with
a mark of .325. Gene Torc
zon leads in RBI's with 26.
Dwight Siebler with a 6-2
record, is the leading pitcher.
Ken Ruisinger, the Corn
husker's regular first base
man, is a doubtful starter for
the K-State series. He has an
infected leg. If he should not
play, Coach Tony Sharpe will
