Still Around
For those who may have wondered why middle dis
tance runner Jim Wendt's name has been missing from
the track roster lately, Jim is still around . . . with his
leg in a cast. .
Just prior to the Big Eight Indoor meet held in Kan
sas City at the end of February, the junior trackman
developed an infection in his knee. He was forced to lay
off running for a week two weeks before the Big Eight.
The knee slowed him considerably as he did not quali
fy for the finals in the 880 after finishing fourth as a
sophomore.
As outdoor season started ,
Jim had more and more trou
ble with the knee swelling as
he tried to workout.
Last weekend he underwent
an operation to correct dam
age done by the February in
fection. His doctors say that
the operation was a complete
success and barring no furth
er difficulties, he should be
able to run well again.
Jim showed plenty of prom
ise as a sophomore last year
it's no small feat to place
fourth in the Big Eight 880
your first year on the Kansas
City boards. Outdoors, he ran
with a Husker two-mile relay
an event the Huskers have
not been able to enter this
year due to lack of half-mil-ers.
Soccer Tourney
Louis Molnar. coach of the Nebraska People to Peo
ple soccer team is a person who knows his sport well.
He evidently can get the information through to his team,
too, because they haven't lost a game in two years.
Molnar started the first soccer team at the university
in 1957. In 1958 the team sponsored an invitational tourna
ment similar to the one to be held here this weekend.
Nebraska won the tournament
Then Molnar, originally from Hungary, was inducted
Into the United States Army and the team disbanded.
A reorganization of the soccer team tooK place in
1960 and another tourney was held in Lincoln in 1961.
Molnar took over the coaching reigns again two years
ago and is presently readying his team for this weekend's
tourney.
This sport is "football" to most countries around the
world. Even in this country, quite a few colleges recog
nize it as a varsity sport. To my knowledge, however,
Iowa State is the only Big Eight school to include the
sport in its varsity program.
I strongly urge anyone with some spare time on his
hands to go out and watch the tourney Saturday and Sun
day. All games will be played at Peter Pan Park.
Darn Tree!
I The following tidbit is courtesy of Dan Bryants' Sports
Information office)
A tree grows in left field?
WelL not really, but the idea brought one of the few
laughs the Nebraska baseball team enjoyed on a recent
series loss to the Oklahoma Sooners at Norman.
Late in the third game, Coach Tony Sharpe moved vet
eran catcher Larry Bornschlegl to left field so sophomore
Clayton Luther could log some game time behind the
plate.
Since things hadn't been going too well for the young
Huskers anyway, it might have been expected Bornschlegl
would join the badluck crew. The first ball hit to left
field was a lazy pop fly and Larry camped under it with
ease. But with Sooners galloping around the bases, the
ball plopped into and then out of his glove for an error
which helped OU pad the margin to 12-2.
After the game when teammates and Coach Sharpe
asked Bornschlegl, who also has logged basketball time
the past two seasons, what happened, the Geneva junior
had the answer:
"Aw, I d have bad that ball easy, If I hadn't ran into
that darn tree they've got out there in left field."

properties of the pigskin, is
that the Sooners will have a
good team. ". !
There are eight men alone
from the starting line-up and
thirteen alternates from last
year's Big Eight runnerup
squad.
Husker fans will remember
the likes of left end John
Flynn, tackle Ralph Neely,
guards Ed McQuarters and
Newt Burton, center John
Garrett, quarterback Bobby
Page, and All-American full
back Jim Grisham.
Spring practice started for
the Sooners on March 10, as
all work-outs pointed towards
the annual Varsity-Alumni
eame which drew over 18,000
fans. (The Alums hold a slight
edge in the series MS. )
In his first year as head
coach Jones obviously has his
work cut out for him if he
pxnects to improve upon Bud
Wilkinson's sterling record of
139 wins, 27 losses, 4 ties and
6 out of 8 bowl victories.
Jones, who came to Okla
homa from Nebraska in 1947,
has been the line coach for
Wilkenson during his tenure
as head, so he is no newcomer
to the Norman fans. . .
Nor is he a newcomer to tho
game itself. In three years it
Ohio State he was All-American
and ail-Bis Ten center in
1935. He turned pro in 1936,
and played for the Cleveland
Rams. At Oklahoma as line
coach he has developed 16 All
American interior lineman in
17 years.

Nebraska's struggling base
ball team leaves at 2:30 to
day for a three game series
with Iowa State at Ames.
Desperately trying to break
into the Big Eight win column
Coach Tony Sharpe will start
lefty Tom Larsen in Friday's
single game. George Land
gren and Jim Karhoff are
scheduled to hurl in the
doubleheader Saturday.
The Huskers, oddly enough,
may have something in their
favor going into this series:
the Cyclones have only
played four games so far this
season. Plagued by rain they
have had two conference
games and two non-league.
Their current record is 3-1.
The Cyclones, however,
looked good against power
house Missouri, as they
pounded out eight hits in a
2-0 loss to Keith Weber, Miz
zou's top hurler.
In other games they have
defeated bv substantial scores
Oklahoma State, Iowa State
Teachers, and Drake.
Supplying the power to the
Cyclones' attack are Dave
Hoyt, the catcher, Bob Case,
an outfielder, and Jim Ma-j
honev. the powerful first!
baseman.
Delon Thompson, a right
hander, and Al Closter, a
1 6'2" southpaw from Creigh-
ton. Nebraska are slated to
take the mound for the Iowans
in the first and second games.
Iowa State was not picked
by the pre-season prognostica
tors to fare too well in the
conference race, but Sharpe
feels they'll wage a good fight
because almost all of the
team has returned from last
season.
Back on the home front, the
Huskers have been unable to
hold a solid practice session
because of the muddy dia
mond. The skies were menac
ing again yesterday as a
freshmen-varsity scrimmage
began.
In an attempt to find a
winning combination. Coach
Sharpe is cautiously inserting
one or two new starters in
his line-up each game.
This week-end finds Pat
Gorham and Clayton Luther
on the starting nine.

from Lincoln, will s t a r t in

right field, a position which
has seen as many players as
the Huskers have had games.
Gorham has "been lookin'
as good as anybody else,
and might provide some bat
ting spark.
Luther, who caught part of
the series with Kansas, got
some solid wood on the ball,
and thus earned his starting
berth. Batting left-handed, he
could prove effective against
the right-hander Thompson.

After last weekend's disas

several have been getting
good wood on the ball. It on
ly remains for good luck to
be with the Huskers this
time and they should break
