The Nebraska Varsity staged
thrilling rally in the last few
seconds Saturday to defeat the
Husker Alumni 27-25 to their
Nebraska All-Sports Day feature
football contest. With the final
gun sounding just as varsity
quarterback Johnny Bordogaa
took the ball from center, the
17,000 fans who turned out to
view this annual struggle saw
probably the most thrilling cli
max to a grid game ever played
in Memorial Stadium.
Bordogna took that pass from
his center, stepped back about
five steps and fired a bullet pass
into the midsection of end George
Paynich who was across the dou
ble stripe IS yards away. The
same Bordogna personnally car
ried the ball across for the final
point In an anti-climatical move.
Until that tremendous finish,
it appeared as though the Alums
had pulled one out of the fire.
Nagle To Magsamen
With just 47 seconds remain
ing In the contest, quarterback
Fran Nagle had fired a 17-yard
scoring passto end Ray Magsa
men to put the old timers ahead
25-20. Magsamen gathered the'
pigskin into his arms after it had
bounced off teammate Kenny
Fischer in the end zone.
A fine pass interception and
55-yard return by Kenny Brooker
gave the Alumni their chance.
There were less than two min
utes remaining when Brooker
stopped the Varsity scorine drive
by snaring a Don Norris pass just
aoove tus snoetops and scamper-
ing from his 15-yard line to the
Varsity 30. '
The first Alum try was in the
form of a Nagle pass that went
astray. They changed their tactics
and ran the next two plays but
found themselves faced with a
fourth down and eight yards to go
on the Varsity 28.
Pesek Grabs One
Nagle's passing came to the
rescue again as be pitched a
perfect strike to end Jack Pesek
on the 17. setting up the touch
down toss to Magsamen.
It was the first decision copped
by other squad in this, the sec
ond annual Alumni-Varsity af
fair. The first

MiddleweKtern weather can make the sports people happy or
Sad. Nebraska All Sports Day managed to have sunny weather
instead of rain or snow, but a strong gusty wind created disgust
vith many of fans,
Missouri' football team has been plagued by steady rain and
bas soaked up considerable more than Split T lore la recent
practice sessions.
The weather outside was still murky Just the other day when
two of the footballers paused in the locker room to read the
bulletin board,
"FOOTBALL PRACTICE OUTSIDE TODAY FULL TQU1P

"Huh," growled one gridder to the other, "guess that mean's
casting rods, too!"
Sy Wilhelmi, captain and enter of the Iowa State basketball
club is the to? cage scorer in Cyclone history. He flipped 233
po'wis through the net to lead with bis record In 21 games. He
topped Gay Anderson by one point in 21 games.
The Kansas diamondmen are the only baseball team in the
Big Seven to begin league play this year with no returning let
termen, Coach Hub Ulrkh, who is starting his first season as
Jayhswfcer coach, can depend on Walter Hicks for the only real
experience os the team, thi season. Hicks will again bold down
the rlihtfleld posioa.

Tiger eager have been making records this last season, too.
Bud Hetoeman, MIzzou's little basketbalJer, set two modem scor
ing records during the 18551 season by making 25 points to a
single game against Iowa, and by tallying 283 points over the
24-game season.
Wilbur "Sparky" Ctakup's five-year basketball coaching rec

The Varsity caught fire with

remaining. They controlled the
ball for 15 plays in this drive
that saw them advancing over 72
yards.
Don Vogt was the touchdown
maker here as he smashed across
for the last two yards. This drive
was successful largely through
the efforts of Carrodine and Nick
Adduci. Ad duci turned in the
more sparkling performance here

Quarterback Worries Gone
The Varsity sparkled under the
direction of quarterback Bordog
na and it appears that the Husk
ers worries about a man to fill
Nagle'e shoes have disappeared.
Carrodine looked sharp in the
varsity backfield as did Bill
Wingender. Wingender provided
the crowd with some fancy back
field blocking during the after
noon. Chuck Gasson led a host of
sparklers in the line. His vicious
tackling and smart play was out
standing throughout the day. Bob
Mullen, Frank Simon, Bin Scha
backer and Ed Hussman also
looked good in the line.

Nebraska's baseball team split
a two-game series with Buena
Vista on Friday and Saturday af
ternoon. Nebraska won the first game
9 to 6. Home runs by Jerry Dunn,
Bob Diers and Bill Fitzgerald ac
counted for eight of Nebraska's
nine runs.
Buena Vista scored the first
run of the game by putting to
gether a walk, a single and an
error in the top of the first in
ning. Nebraska scored two runs in
the bottom half of the same in
ning to offset Buena Vista's one
run lead. The two tallies were
scored as a result of Bob Diers
being walked and a tremendous
four-begger by Jerry Dunn hit
360 feet over the left centerfield
fence.
Buena Vista added four more
runs in the second inning on a
base hit, two walks, and some
nervousness in the Nebraska in
field. Tension
After both squads overcame the
tension caused by the early sea
son jitters, the two clubs seemed
to settle down and play ball.
Nebraska added another run in
the bottom of the fourth when
Fitzgerald scored from third on
a passed ban. The run was made
possible by a double by Fitzgerald
a single by Bob Jensen which
moved Fitzgerald to third and en
abled him to score on the passed
baTl.
In the too of the fifth Dean
Larison, the Buena Vista catcher,
hit a circuit clout over the right
neia rence, to give the visitors
a three run margin and what
seemed to be a fairly safe lead.
In the bottom of the seventh
ana imaaovicn was wanted to
load the bases. Fitzgerald stepped
up to home plate and bit a Ions
homer over the left centerfield
fence scoring four runs and
moving Nebraska into a one run
lead.

performance for the Nebraska
nine. He got two singles, a dou-

five times at bat which totals
up to a .800 batting average and
four RBrs.
The Huskers wound up with
six errors while Buena Vista

Nebraska lost the AH -Sports
