Jerry Webb, Phi Kappa
Psi junior, has been selected
as the Daily Nebraskan Out
standing Intramural Athlete.
Webb narrowly nosed out
top-notch contenders Bob
Witte, Sigma Nu junior, Jim
Levy, Sigma Alpha Mu fifth
year man, and Lynn Allen,
Phi Delta Theta senior.
Joel Meier, intramurals
chairman, worked closely with
the sports staff in the selec
tion of the winner.
The personable Webb has
number of credentials for
his honor. He has competed
in a wide variety of intra
mural sports, including soft
blal, volleyball, swimming,
track, handball, free-throwing,
basketball and flag foot
ball. Webb placed third in t h e
Intramural diving, and placed
fourth in the intramural high
jump.
Webb stands 6'3" tall and
weighs in at a solid 210
pounds. His size helped the
'A' championship Phi Psi bas
ketball team garner a good
share of the rebounds against
their opponents. A consistant
scorer all year long, Webb
poured in 29 and 31 points re
spectively in t h e final two
tournament contests. He was
a first team All-Intramural
pick in basketball.
Because of his size, Webb
makes a good target for Phi
Psi flag football quarterback.

of the 'big' reasons for the

year.
Sports are not new to the
Gering native. While in high
school, Webb participated in
many sports, and was select

Larry Kramer relaxed in a
comfortably stuffed easy
chair in the corner of his liv
ing room and spoke serious
ly, humorously, but always
congenially about his high
school days, college years,
family, and future.
"Many things that happen
on the practice field are
amusing afterwartis, but
there are a few that are pret
ty funny as they happen," be
gan Kramer. "I remember
one day when Dave Theisen
was sprinting down field and
all of a sudden his pants
dropped down."
Bowl trips, which Kramer
has more than contributed to,
have provided him with plen
ty of anxious, thrilling, and
comic incidents.
Recalling the Orange Bowl
of 1964, Kramer told the storv
of how he saw Miami.
"After the game the team
was to take a bus to the place
where the presentation of
awards was to be made. Our
bus driver apparently did not
know Miami anv better than

Goof-Oils' Passing Wins M Title
Phi Psis 32-25..
By John Stdnhcider
The Goof-Offs ran and
passed their way to the intra
mural flag football champion
ship by the score of 32-25 over
the Phi Psis.
Dale Vachal, Jerry Yeutter,
and Darrold Hill played excel
lent football to lead the Goof
Off offense to its five tallies.
The Phi Psis, led by Jamie
Amerman, also displayed a
well-balanced offensive at
tack, but it was on cricitial
interception of an Amerman
past by Hill of the Goof
Offs that halted the Phi Psis
final bid to take the title.
On four occasions Vachal of
the Goof-Offs leaped high in
the air to pull down important
passes that lead to scores.
It was a Yeutter to Vachal
pass that put the cap on the
game, spelling the doom of a
good Phi Psi team.
Jerry Webb, Jon Jepsen,
Marty Plaster, and Bill Mar
shall scored for the Phi Psis
to a well balanced attack that
wasn't quite enough to over
come the strength of the Goof
Offs. The Goof-Offs led off the
see-saw scoring with a 15 yard
pass from Yeutter to Vachal.
The Phi Psis came right back
only 4 plays later on a lateral
which passed through the
hands of four men. Plaster
ended up with the tally, and
the Phi Psis took the lead 7-6.
After only 3 plays of the sec

and quarter the Goof-ofts took
Yeutter to Vachal to Hill
pass covering 50 yards.
The score at half time was
12-7. But there was a lot more
to come in the following quar
ters. After only two plays of the
second half, Marshall of the
Phi Psis scored to take back
the lead, 14-12.
But on the very next play,
Yeutter threw a short pass
to Vachal wro raced down the
field, then lobbed the ball over
the defender's head to Hill for
the score, making the score
18 to 14 in favor of the Goof
Offs. Keeping up with the tempo
of the game, the Phi Psi's
scored again to make the
score 20-18.
With 3 plays left in the third
quarter the combination of
Yeutter to Hill gave the lead
right back to the Goof-Offs,
25-20.
On the first play of the final
quarter the Phi Psi's jumped
back in front. The Goof-Offs
immediately retaliated with
their final tally to end the
scoring for the day at 32-25
and to cop the Intramural
flag football title.
