Spring Football Report:
Huskers Polish Offense;
Contact Work Lessened
By Keith Bland -
Second week of spring drills
started yesterday afternoon
with fundamental team work
in offensive and defensive
plays
Little contact was made dur
ing the first half of the prac
tice session as punting pro
tection and offensive plays
were polished up. An offens
ive team would go through a
series of patterns to get ac
quainted with them while the
defense used blocking dum
mies to confuse them.
Later on a little more con
tact work was put into play as
the offense practiced mostly
pass plays through the de
fensive patterns. Each team
alternated in the defense and!
offense as coach Bill Jennings
ill '
i J,.L
Dick Monroe
Husker Center Coach
made up about six or more
teams for the drill.
During the middle of the
afternoon the linemen prac
ticed stance, starts and blocks
against dummies while the
backs put a little more pol
ish on ball exchanges.
A few 'more patterns were
run to smooth down the of
fense and the last half of the
days work was used to em
phasize pass defense and pass
patterns. The day ended, aft
er three hours of intensive
drill for the Huskers, with
those unforgetable sprints.
There are 12 men listed on
the injured list, but most of
them are expected back into
action withm a short time.
Huskers' Shortstop Murakami
Baseball Veteran at Nineteen
By Hal Brown
Dave Murakami, Nebras
ka's diminutive shortstop,
be considered a veteran of the
baseball wars at the tender
age of 19.
Murakami, a 5-9, 150-pound-er
from Honolulu, began his
organized baseball career at
the age of seven playing in
the Hawaiian Little Leagues.
From the Little Leagues, he
advanced up through the Pony
League and American Legion
ball.
Two years ago, Dave played
for the Asahi's in the Hawaii
an Major League against ma
jor league stars such as Don
Larsen of the New York
Yankees and Frank Malzone
of the Boston Red Sox. The
Asahi's won the Hawaiian
championship that year and
were runnerup to the United
States in the Global World
Scries at Milwaukee. At 16,

Dave was the youngest play
er in the Hawaiian League.
Murakami hit .471 in the
Hawaiian League that year
and was one of 17 players
chosen to represent the- Ha
waiian All-Stars on a tour of
Japan. Dave hit .420 as the
All-Stars posted an 8-6 record
on the tour.
Murakami was contacted by
Nebraska Athletic Director
Bill Orwig on the advice of
Dr. Nakagawa, a graduate of
Nebraska. Dave was all set
to go to Michigan State but
after talking to Orwig, he de
cided on Nebraska.
Indiana, Oregon State and
Fresno State were also inter
ested in him.
Murakami played ball last
summer with David City in
the Cornhusker League, along
with several other Nebraska
ball players. Dave had a .323
batting average with David
City.
Dave has played shortstop
throughout his career except
for a brief sojourn at third
base his senior year in high
school and he says the hard
est ball for him to handle is
one hit to his left.
Comparing Japanese and
Hawaiian pitchers with those
he has seen this spring, Dave
considers the Japanese pitch
ers a little better because
they have better control. "This
does not include Big Eight
pitchers because I haven't
seen any yet, but I expect
them to be a little tougher
than the pitchers we faced in
Texas," Dave added.
Murakami would like to
sign a professional contract
upon graduation and after
playing pro ball for a few
years, he wants to go back
to Hawaii and coach base
ball. Dave's father is a high
school baseball coach in Ha
waii and coaches a team in
the American Japanese Asso
ciation. Dave says his biggest thrill
in baseball came when he
was selected for the Hawaiian
All-Star team that toured Ja
pan. He would rather hit
against a curve-ball pitcher
than against a fastballer.
Speaking of the current
season, Dave said, "I don't
know how we'll do in the Big
Eiht but we have some good
ballplayers especially in the
infield with Ken Ruisinger,
Doug Sieler and Gil Dunne."

Win 3-0
Over Latavians

its second game of the season
with a decisive victory over
the Latavian Team of Lin
coln, 3-0. All of the Huskers

ond half of the game as the
first half ended scoreless.
Herman Ridder scored two
of the Nebraska points and

the third point for Nebraska.
The Husker's team looked
very well balanced but their
forward line seemed to be
stronger than til? defensive.
The Husker lineup was as

Moore, Fernando Nottenbom,
Otto Ludewig, Martin Carran
cedo, Les Heathcote, Loui
Molnar, W a d a d i d Nasu,
