At least one of the three sport
ing events to De leatured on the
first Nebraska All-Sports Day
may find it difficult to be played.
The Husker-Buena Vista baseball
contest slated to beein at 3:30
p.m. is in jeopardy of being post
poned because of the winter
weather that has interrupted the
Nebraska springtime.
If the snow should quit coming
down by that time Saturday and
the game could continue as sched
uled, it will be one of a very few
days the Husker baseballers have
been allowed outdoors.
The Scarlet diamohdmen have
pent their spring training thus
far within the confines of the
Field House annex with the ex
ception of a couple of sunny days.
The first two Husker scheduled
contests slated for last Friday and
Saturday against Drake univer
sity were postponed because of
rain.
Full Week
A full week of baseball is in
atore for the NU nine, however,
if the weatherman will permit.
They will open their season
against the same Buena Vista out
fit Friday at 3 p.m., meet the
lowans again in the All-Sports
Day feature Saturday and then
travel south to Wichita, Kas.,
Monday and Tuesday for two
contests with Wichita university.
The All-Sports Day feature will
pit against Buena Vista a band
of Huskers that have been defi
nitely encouraging during their
indoor spring drills. Their out
door worth, however, will get a
test for the first time. The Husk
ers need these four contests this
weekend in order to be in some
sort of definite shape for their
first two conference encounters
against the Kansas university
Jayhawkers next Wednesday and
Thursday at Lawrence.
To date, the Scarleteers' scrim
mages have been restricted to a
couple of intrasquad games.
Keystone Strong
The keystone combination of
Bill Jensen at short and Bob
Reynolds on second looks very
strong. Reynolds around the sec
ond base sack has made much Im
provement in his play with the
difficulties in the Important dou
ble-play operations ironed out.
In the pitching department,
still an unknown because of lim
ited workouts, lettermen Del
Kopf and chuckers Dick McCor
mick, Al Benjamin, could supply
hurling strength. Mulling, Bunsen
and Anderson are potential com
ers on the mound staff and the
pitching looks very promising.
McCormick has been named to
pitch the Friday opener. Normally
a control pitcher, Dick also nas
some "quick" on his right handed
slants. With McCormick named
as Friday's starter, veteran Kopf
may get the nod to begin the au
Sports Day contest.
Bob Lohrberg will likely gather
in the back-stopping berth. (Joacn
Tony Sharpe is inclined to go
along with his hitting and receiv
ing ability and hope for the best
regarding the catcher's throwing.
Power Hitting
Power hitting also has emerged
from the Indoor drills. Long
range blows have come from the
bats of outfielder Bob Diers and
first-sacker Ray Mladovich as
well as drives with Dunn and
Fitzgerald at the plate. Reynolds
and Jensen have also shown some
good hitting.
The Husker batting order lor
the opening contests have Johnny
Rego, third base, as leadoff man,
followed bv Reynolds, Diers and
Dunn as cleanup man. Mladovich
will bat fifth, to be followed by
Fitzgerald, Jensen, Lohrberg and
McCormick.
AROUND THE LOOP...
Gothenburg Chairman
Leads Ticket Sales
By Shirley Murphy
E. B. "Snub" Karr is leading in All Sports Day ticket sales
according to Neal Mehring, University ticket director.
Karr is the chairman of the Gothenburg ticket committee. He
received 100 of the $1 tickets and later sent Mehring a check for
$124. Karr attributed his sales success to his crew of helpers.
Either the men are sharp salesmen or the Gothenburg popu
lace are true sports fans.
f Iowa State are sticklers for sportsmen of the week. This week,
the Cyclone football coaches have named the top players of the
week in spring football.
Outstanding linemen are Stan Campbell, Bob Voetberg, Ron
Swanson, Jim Champlin and Rollie Arns. Outstanding backs are
Maury Schnell, Emery Eichorn, Stan Cozzi and Paul Shupe.
Colorado's recent defeat of the Oklahoma tennis team marked
the first time in four years Coach Walter Mead's Sooners had bowed
to a Big Seven school in a dual meet After dropping their first
two matches, the Sooner netsters have rallied for four consecu
tive wins.
Sterling Slngley will be the starting pitcher when the Cyclone
baseball team meets the Kansas eleven in Lawrence April 13, Fri
day, that is.
Only two non-lettermen are expected to start against the Jay
hawks. Frank Swan, a Junior, will start at shortstop. Sam Long,
sophomore, or Walt Burt, senior, both left fielders, will start for
the KU baseballers.
Ted Connor, Nebraska football player who was drafted Into
the army, was a member of the Fort Leonard Wood basketball
squad which captured the Fifth Army championship last week at
Fort Riley, Kansas.
While not a starter, the 6-foot 4-inch Connor saw consider
able action for the "Super Sixers." After a first-round bye in the
field of 13 quintets, the team managed to roll to victory over Camp
Carson, Colorado, Camp McCoy, Wisconsin, and defending champ,
Fort Riley in the finals.
Betas, ATO's Grab 1951
Water Basketball Crowns
Alpha Tau Omega and Beta
Theta Pi reign as kings of 1951
Intramural water basketball.
The ATO's dropped the
Beta Sigma Psi's 30-10 in the fi
nals of the shallow water tourn
ament, while the Beta's were
dunking the Sigma Nu's 8-3 in
deep water play.
The ATO's won all of their
regular season contests and went
straight through the single elim
ination play-offs. It was a bal
anced scoring attack that paved
the way for the ATO's with Jack
Carroll taking top scoring hon
ors with 14 points.
' Mack Robinson and Lyle Blue
both turned in good defensive
performances for the ATO's. The
Beta Sigs offense was pretty
well stymied during the game.
Al Onnen led the Beta Sig's
attack. They had gone through
the regular seaion all victorious
until nicked by the Phi Gams
late in the season.

Assistant Sports Editor
The Alumni will return to the
campus of their old glory to take
on Coach Bill Glassford's squad
in one of the three features of
the All-Sports day Saturday.
The game will get underway
at 1:30 in Memorial Stadium,
The Alums will provide the
first tastes of competition for a
large group of freshmen.
Glassford has decided to pv
periment with a four platoon
system instead of the usual two
ne usea last year.
The four platoons will con
sist of tw defensive and two of
tensive units.
Glassford has been ntansml
with the squad's progress and
commented that the entire squad
has worked faithfully and will
ingly. Needs Experience
The head coach thinks that
his squad will do all right when
it gets a little experience. He
says that the sauari needs a
great deal of polish but it will
improve a lot beiore next fall.
He has not. decided yet which
of the four platoons will start
but will wait until Saturday to
make his choice.
The potential successors' to
Fran Naele's lob will iret a
thorough workout Saturday. Na
gle completed a splendid career
last fall and will receive his de
gree in June.
John Bordogna, Turtle Creek,
The members of the cham
pionship ATO team are: Dick
Bick, Bill Sloan, Knox Jones,
Lyle Blue, Mack Robinson, Mac
Bailey, and Dick Carroll.
A rugged Beta Theta Pi team
ground out a victory over Sigma
Nu in the championship game of
the deep-water tourney.
In winning the title, the Beta's
completed an unbeaten season
during which they won eight
consecutive games and scored a
total of 117 points to 34 for
their opponents.
The Beta's scored early and
the hard fighting Sigma Nu
team waa unable to get any
closer than within two points
of them. Jerry Siegel started
the Beta scoring with a looping
fielder for all the scoring in the
first quarter. He repeated in the
second quarter to make the
score 4-0 but Sigma Nu ace Bob
Rogers countered with two free
throws and the halftlme score
read 4-2.
High scoring Bill Greer got
loose in the third quarter to put
in a one hander from way out
and his brother Jack Greer
dunked one in the fourth stanza
for the last Beta points. Bob Ro
gers swished another free throw
in the third to complete scoring
for the game.
Hard Foueht
It was a hard fought defens
ive battle all the way featured
by team playing and spectacular
jobs of guarding. Standouts . on
defense were Bill Pomeroy and
Dave Mackie for the Beta's and
Bill Douglass and Jack Munson
for the Sigma Nu's.
Bill Greer led the Beta's sea
son by scoring over half of the
team's total points during the
season and the tournament. Bill
and brother Jack are members
of the University swimming
team.
The winning Beta team in
cludes: Bill Greer, Jerry Siegel,
Jack Greer, Herb Reese, Bill
fomeroy, K.en Minnick, Dave
Mackie, and Hugh Follmer.
George Hill was in charge of
this year's tournament. The
tournament compares quite fa
vorably with last year's tourna
ment.
Water Safety
Next Week
Water-safety will be foremost
on the agenda in the Coliseum
next week. Beginning Monday
and running through Friday, the
University swimming department
wil sponsor its annual water-
safety program for all University
students irom 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Any University student inter
ester in bettering his or her
swimming ability and techniques
and applications for life-saving,
is urged to attend the program.
Breaks, holds and other practices
and applications will be offered.
All students who are planning
on teaching swimming or being
life-guards are offered an excel
lant opportunity during the pro
gram. The program is free of charge
and all participants must have a
swim permit. More details will be
in Monday's paper.
Pa., and Don Norris, a gradu
ate of Omaha Cathedral, have
been showing every indication of
being able to step into his shoes.
Norris Handicapped
Norris had been handicapped
earlier by a broken bone in his
hand, but he has been showing
a great deal of poise in recent
scrimmages.
Bordogna also indicated that
he can both run and pass. He
handles the ball well, and his
generalship has ., been outstand
ing. Nagle has been working with
both of his successors in the
spring drills.- "
But the biggest problem fac
ing Glassford is providing re
placements for the offensive line
which was graduated.
In the alumni camp Player-
Coach Tom Novak is badly ham
pered by a shortage of ends and
backs.
Bearing the brunt of the ball
carrying duties are Bill Mueller,
Dutch Meyer, Jim Levendusky
and Ken Brocker.
Nagle at Quarter
Nagle will handle the auar
terback slot and share part of
the ball-carrying duties.
Rich Novak and Ray Magas
men are expected to hold down
the end positions, Joe McGill at
center, Art Bauer and Don Stras-
heim at the guards, and Walt
Spellman and Charley Toogood
at the tackles.
The defensive line should be
plenty solid with such perform
ers as Ted Doyle, Dick Goeglein
and Vic Sleich.

"MARSHAL OF

By Marshall Kushner
Staff Sport Writer
Nebraska's track team is carrv
ing on a feud with the weather
man as the Kansas dual track
meet on All-Sports Day is ran-
ldiy approacning. The condition
of the outdoor track will mean a
great deal to the Huskers.
If the' track is not in condition
and it appears very conceivable
that it won't be, then the meet
will be run off on the indoor
track, or at least most of the
events.
This might be looked upon as
a good break for the Husker thin
clads who have yet to face any
outdoor competition, let alone
many outdoor workouts. The
Kansans have had their fill of
outdoor workouts and have al
ready competed in the outdoor
Texas Relays.
Relderer Returns
Also back to the Kansas squad
will be John Reiderer. He runs a
leg on the Kansas mile relay team
and has Just recovered from a
case of influenza.
For the second week, the scar
let cindermen are faced with a
battle of their field strength
against a powerful track outfit.
Coach Eaton's teams are noted
for their distance racing potential
and with the addition of Beck in
the sprints, the Husker field and
track aces will have to be at their
very best.
The Kansans will feature Herb
Semper in the mile and two-mile
distance races. It'll be up to Gene
Yelkin and Bob Krueger to stop
Semper and rapidly improving
Keith Palmquist of the Jayhawks.
With the possibility of an in
door meet, it will mean that Don
"Moose" Cooper may get another
crack at the world record in the
pole vault. It won't help Cooper
too much in his preparation for
the Kansas Relays a week hence.
Hope in Field Events
The Huskers' hopes for victory
lie in its strong field event en
tries. Neither squad can lay claim
to real all-around team balance.
The Huskers will depend heavily
on their field point getters.
Glenn Beerline and Irv Thode
are teamed up in the broad jump
and will get assistance from either
Dick Stansbury or Blake Cathro.
The Huskers will present their
double-barrel combination in the
pole vault. The world dirt track
record holder and the Big Seven
conference champion. Cooper, and
Len Kehl are expected to give
