High Scorers Dominate the
Fraternity 'A 9 All-Star Team
I-M Managers
Unanimously to First Team
RT Rlf I. MIINDKI I.
(Acting Sport. Editor)
Five men were unanimously
placed on the Fraternity "A"
All-Star Team Saturday. The
All-Star line-up, selected by the
intramural managers and their
teams, awarded to these five
players the maximum possible
votes. All four leagues were rep
resented on the 'star' outfit.
Holding- down the forward
berths on the 'All' line-up are
Darrell Heiss of Farm House
and Jim Walsh of Sigma Fhi
Epsilon. .
Walsh and Heiss finished one
two in the all-university scoring
department tms season, neiss
183 markers was surpassed only
by the Sig Ep's 189. (Editor's
note: both could slip a peg in the
points scored rankings. Jack
Wallentine of the Newman Club
has one game remaining and
currently holds 180 points).
In the other half of the scor
ing division, Walsh has virtually
assured himself of the Univer
sity's top average per game, The
Sig Ep flash scored an. average
of 18.9 points per contest, an av
erage that will withstand any
Wallentine threat up to 30 points.
(Wallentine's current average is
18.0). .
Heiss, on the other hand, is
firmly entrenched in fourth place
in this department with a game
average of 16.6 markers.
Heiss was the sparkplug of the
Farm House fast break, making
half of his points just a step
ahead of his defense. The rest of
hl5 counters came through his
amazing jump shot that was un
guardable. He almost led his
mares to a second consecutive
all-university championship.
Waists speed was his greatest
asset, also, as he worked to per
fection on the front end of the
Sig Ep fast break. His greatest
scoring exhibition came in the
Phi Psi .contest when his shoot
ing netted him a total of 36
points. His effort broke the uni
vt "sity scoring record of Heiss'
wl lch was later broken again.
, Suma at Center
At the pivot spot on the all-
star delegation is Subby Ruma
of Beta Theta Pi. Ruma was the
star of a team that finished third
in its league. A good pivot man,
he had an uncanny shot from the
center as his 10.3 points per
game will tell you.
In the guard positions, the
I-M managers put Mack Rob
inson of Alpha Tau Omega and
Randy Renken of Fbl Gamma
Delta.
Robinson was the scoring ace
on the champion 'Tau outfit av
eraging 12.6 counters a contest.
On top of his flashy scoring abil
ity, he was a great defensive
stalwart for the ATO's.
Renken was also the star of
the Fijis, a team that was barely
nudged from the playoffs. He
was an all-around performer in
both the Fiji offense and de
fense. A smart ball player, he
also led his mates in the scoring
column with 132 markers.
So there you have it. The five
men the managers and players
thought were the best they faced
during the season.
Terrific Second Team
The five men comprising the
second team could give any out

way. All five missed a unani
mous vote by only one ballot.
Two groups were represented
on both line-ups. The champion
ATO's and the Sig Eps each add
ed a second man from their ros
ters to the second team.
Jack Carroll of the Taus and
Tom Loisel of the Eps are placed
in the forward slots. Both took
a back seat in publicity to their
mates, Robinson and Walsh, but
both were top-notch players who
did more than their share in
boosting their teams to high
standings.
Carroll was the high scorer
for the Taus, splurging in the
last few contests to pad his to
tal. All told, his shots netted a
total of 160 points.
Carroll, Fast
He was perhaps the fastest
Tau on the floor during their
games and could sink every kind
of shot in, the book. Most of his
importance to the ATO attack
came on the front of their fast
break. For as small as he was,
he continually got more than his
share of the rebounds.
Loisel was always handy in
case his mate Walsh should fal
ter. His point average per game
of 11.1 helped keep the Sig Eps
far in front of their opposition.
Center position on the sec
ond team was voted to Elmer
Vandel of DHa Tau Delta.
Vandel was the spark that
kept the Delts on top until the
very last. He was one of the
most outstanding centers In
intramural basketball this year
and copped the Delt scorint
honors with 135 markers to his
credit.
His worth to the Delt attack
was not limited only to scoring,
however, as he cleared the
boards consistently and continu
ally provided good shots for his
mates.
At the guards, the votes went
to Joe Gurnett of Sigma Nu and
Mel Williams of Brown Palace.
Gurnett Great
Gurnett was the all-around
performer that carried the Nu's
to the Fraternity "A" finals. His
main contribution to the Sigma
Nu's was his defensive prowess.
Every man he guarded this year
scored less than ten points, even
the scoring champions.
On top of this, he was the
second highest scorer for the
Nu's with 106 counters.
Williams was the floor general

His ball handling was terrific as
he continually set up scoring
plays for his team-mates. While
not the top Palace scorer, he
added 92 to their cause during
the season.

Scoring in the first Inning
came when Novak belted a 0-2

infield error.
Novak's group added one more
runoin the second when Hinde
walked and Mladovich drove him
in with a single.
Linus Vroka, Utica, took over
the pitching duties in the third

they downed the hapless Whites,
18-0, lor their third straight vie
tory.
Eleven hundred and fifty fans
viewed Coach Glassford'a boys in
action during the warm -afternoon.
In the first quarter the Reds
got off to a lightning start by
driving for a touchdown In the
opening six plays. The boys
were given the ball on their own
35-yard line, and on the first
play Bill Mueller streaked down
field for 30 yards. Bill Maxe
brought him down on the White
35-yard line.
After pne more down, Nick
Adduci made his way to the 21
yard line whre Dick Geogleln
made the tackle. Mueller again
took over the- ball handling,
bringing the ball down to the
nine; then Adduci took the ball
over in two more plays.
Fran Nagle converted for the
extra point.
The Reds passed the goal line
stripes once more in the first
period when Nagle hit Frank
Simon for a 46-yard pass com
pletion. However, the touchdown was
nullified for illegal use of the
hands on the part of the Reds.

Bn Potfsy's Job
BY BOB BANKS
If the American ambassador to
Russia often finds himself
swamped with diplomatic prob
lems, then he should come to the
University of Nebraska and as
sume the role of Director of Ath
letics. It is his job to satisfy the
desires of everyone from the av
erage sports fan on up to the
Chancellor.
But Nebraska is fortunate in
having George "Potsy" Clark
as head of its athletic depart
ment. Diplomacy is the by-word of
"Potsy". In his position he is
head of all public relations for
the athletic department. This in
cludes answering to the faculty
for all of the actions of the sports
department. If a disagreement
arises between the two, he is the
one who must iron out the prob
lem. Coordinator ,
He acts as coordinator of the
athletic department, Clark
keeps things running smoothly
among the Cornhusker coaches
concerning such things as equip
ment and schedules.
He sees to it that every man in
the athletic department is doing
his job properly and with ade
quate help, j
"Potsy" represents Nebraska
at most of the athletic meetings,
both nationally and in the Big
Seven. If he is unable to attend
these meetings then he must see
to it that someone is present at
them. In this position Clark
meets many of the greatest sports
names in the nation.
He shapes the athletic policy of
Nebraska. He states its objec
tives, the things it wants, stands
for, and expects.
Clark must also be active in
the student activities. He is ad
visor to the N club. He works
with such oreanizations as the
Innocents, Tassels, Corncobs and
the University Builders.
Fine Background
"Potsy" has a fine background
for his position, both as a parti
cipant in snorts and the many
jobs he has held in, the sporting
world.
He was a member of the 1914-
1915 University of Illinois foot
ball and baseball teams. He was
all-conference quarterback and
played shortstop on the varsity
nine.
In -1917 he was a member of
service team which won the
football championship of Ameri
ca. It won the European title In
1919.
He also played on a champion
ship service baseball team for
two years. On this team were
two all-time greats of pro base
ball in George Cleveland Alex
ander and Clarence Mitchell.
Ke has coached football at
Kansas, Illinois, Minnesota, Put
ler and Michigan State. In the
professional ranks he coached
the L'ctit Lions-for ten years.

on numerous rules committees.

Clark first came to Nebraska
as Head Football Coach in 1945.

As the quarter ended, the
Whites again had the bgl as
Bloom raced from his own 44
yard line to the Red 11.
With the opening of the sec
ond quarter, Bloom knocked off
another 3-yard gain, and Buster
Lehman sneaked off center to
the Red 4. Reynolds then fum
bled the fall losing 2 yards, and
Lehman finished the White scare
as he drove to the 2-yard line,
missing a. first down by inches.
The grldders slowed down in
the remainder, of the second
quarter with neither team mak
ing any great progress.
The second touchdown, com
ing in the third stanza, was the'
result of a 61-yard march. Ron
Clark cupped off five yards from
his own 39 to his 44. Mueller
got two more yards, and Ad
duci added another 3 for a first
down.
Mueller warmed up with an
other seven yards, and then ex
ploded with a 44-yard touch

tne extra point was no good.
The Red's third tally also
came in the third quarter; this
time the result of a 80. yard
march. Clark again started
things rolling by moving the ball
for six yards to his 26-yard

Well-entrenched as the lead
off pitchers are Roger Englert,
the mainstay for the past three
years, and Bob "TurLey'' Smith,
a slight left-hander. Barring a

other is certain to get the open-.

Arkansas at Fayettesville on
April 5.
Behind the plate, two more let

back-stooping Job, while first
base is practically a closed shop.
"Rocky" Alexander and Bob
Murrey are virtually even-up in
the catching picture, with sopho
more John Link running third. At
first, past captain Jack Frier is
unchallenged.
Elsewhere, the holdovers grip
is less apparent At the outset,
Simmons sought to patch up tho
left side of his infield by making
two switches. He moved bis 1949
shortstop, Clyde Langenbeck, ov
er to third, and sent Bill Eatock,
regular second-sacker last year,
to shortstop. Kent Kurtz, a noma
grown sophomore, took over JEa
tock's vacated berth at second.
Right now, Ross Boege? Is
pressing Langenbeck for the
third base call, while Bill Red
