Thursday, March 21, 194t5 1 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN i i K m IT ! Harvards, Yales tie at 14-all in last workout of week; two markers come on passes By Jun Bierbower. Now that the indoor track sea eon ia over, the outdoor schedule is drawing the attention of track fans. A year ago track interest wasn't any too high, as the Husk ers had ended up exactly fifth in the Indoor meet. However, Ed Wler and the track team weren't through, as they fcflt on to win the Big Six out door meet. Then when the AAU championships were run off, the "Husker won the Junior title, and Wnow, with a brilliant crop of new sophomores, interest is almost white-hot, what with the young Husker crew running away with everything in sight. When conference meet time rolls around, it looks as though the Huskers should have a very ex cellent chance of defending that outdoor title. The 5-4-3-2-1 scor ing system basis used indoors, won't help Nebraska as much as it will Missouri, what with the Tigers' strong 40, hurdling and high jumping corps as againet a smaller, but select Husker group However, that side of the pic ture which stresses team balance is the only drawback in-a very rosy outlook. On the good side, there are three more events in outdoor than in indoor track another sprint event and the discus and javelin. In stead of the 60, there are the hun dred and two-twenty. While the hurdle races are lengthened to the 220 lows and 160 highs, there are just two of em where Missouri and the Huskers can scrap it out The longer sprints are all the better for Red Littler, who Is un defeated at any distance this year 60, 70, 300 or 440. The 60 more or less cramps Littler's style, for he has in that and In the 70 yards had to win In the last few yards, for he just gets well started before hitting the finish line. Of course, running the hundred, 220 and 440 in one day, isn't done by everyone. Ed Hall of Kansas used to do it, and win all three, and we have a hunch that the Mitchell Redhead could sweep them in the confer ence meet if Ed Weir used him. The discus and javelin events will pad Nebraska's point totals very sweetly. In the discus Ed Wibbela and Ray Prochnska are the darts of the conference, al though Johnny Shirk, who finished third behind them last epring, is sst ill around Soonerland, and there's a sophomore, Dick Peters., who was doing over 100 feet ns a frosh lant spring. The javelin-ah. the javelin. Bob Waldram of Missouri, who is a senior now, was supposed to be the conference' No. 1 man, but last spring, one Mr. Buster Knight gave the pear a fling in the pie liminarles. It wen 195 feet,' 6 inches, and gave Knight a Big Six championship in the first track meet In which he participated for the Huskers. Wibbels was third The Yales and Harvards ended up 14-all last night in their last session before spring vacation. Harry Hopp passed to Ray Pro- chaska for one score, and tallied himself for the Yales, while Bob Kahler scored once for the Yales on a pass from Hermie Rohrig. Vike Francis plunged over from the the 1 yard line for the Yales.' second score. The Harvards scored almost as soon as the scrimmage opened, as the Ell reserves let Ray Prochaaka get behind them to take Harry's 32 yard past for a touchdown. Hopp converted the extra point. Kahler scores. Jones then put his first Yale team against the Harvards' sec onds, and the Yales retaliated im mediately with a Rohrig to Kahler pass good for 60 yards in all. The pass itself traveled around 20 yards, and Kahler, who was doing some fine running, slipped ' away from the Red secondary to score. Hermie kicked the extra point. A 30 yard pass from Hopp to Fred Preston set up the pins for the second Yale touchdown, when the two original lineups came back on the field. Hopp, starting on his own 40, faked a pass to midfield for a first and 10. He then shot a 15 yard toss to Preston, who ran 15 more. Hopp hit the line for 9 yards on two successive plunges, then made it first and 10 on the Yale 9 after the Ell's had held Henry Hohn to no gain. Hopp tallies. A 5 yard offside penalty put the Blues on the 9 yard line from which point Hopp shot over for a touchdown, then made the extra marker. Hermie Rohrlg's 34 yard sprint to the Yale 4 where he was forced out of bounds put the Yale firsts in scoring position in the final quarter, but it took the Yales four tries to put it over, as Vike Fran cis went over on last down Rohrig again converted.

Zorn Kelly Three veterans back for golf; Newkirk calls new candidates Baseball squad meets Ten new men report to Coach Wilbur Knight Major league baseball clubs have been playing ball in the Grapefruit circuit for the past month down in the Sunny South; but the weather has no favored Nebraska's ball nine to the same degree. In fact, the squad has yet to set foot on the practice field. Weather permitting, however, the team will be working out of doors regularly come the close of spring vacation. The field is in fine shape right now for use. Coach Wilbur Knight called a meeting of his squad, Wednesday afternoon, and 10 additional pros pects were added to the already swelling roster. Pitchers green. The Cornhuskers, which finished third in the Big Six conference last year, will have seven letter men returning to the lineup. Ex perience is weighting the team as only the pitching staff lacks a veteran. The second base combination of Dow Wilson and Bemie LeMaster bolsters the Infield while Frank ie Rubino and Oscar Tegtmeier also are Infield veterans. In the out field, Knight can rely upon John McDermott and Tegtmeier. Two lettermen, but seniors, Al- vin Schmode and Dick Joyce, will be doing the catching. Pitchers that show considerable promise are Edsel Wibbels, Sid Held, Bob Garey, Bob Searle, and Ernest Swanson. Good infielders. Infielders of note are Lloyd Kronick, Don Pollock, Vance Ray. Vernon Thompson, Frank Corf man' and Merlin Schoening. Out fielders coming up are Leonard Van Buskirk, who can double at third base; Cliff Hurley, Herman Rohrig, Charlie Vacantl, and Frank Gil more.

Nebraska's first game is with Luther college at Decorah, la., on April 18. New men reporting are: Don Stout, Bill Perry, Don Stangle, Bernard Buell, Frank Coffman, Vernon Thompson, Eldridge Bever, James Vogt, Marvin Cons, and Lloyd Hall. Coach Ed Newkirk's Nebraska golfing team will be a squad built around three returning lettermen for this spring. Veterans back are Don Million, Omaha, Bill Mow bray, and Wally Spomer, both of Lincoln. Paul Jones graduated from last year's team, while Jim Beltzer failed to come back this term, both were lettermen who will be lost. Activity at present is confined to practice swings and indoor in struction by Newkirk. The prac tice swings are being conducted in the driving range in the basement of the coliseum. Newkirk feels that are several outstanding players who are not reporting and is issuing another call for prospects to fill out vacan cies on the team. Possible newcomers are Jack Weidman and Jack Hyland, both of Lincoln. The latter is doubtful as he is busy with extra curricula r activity. Sixty athletic engagements are on the spring calendar of the Uni versity of Vermont. Meier c A Kaon re Pouvk llerndon rt Whitehead Fmcharka re... Braanch Petach qb T.
