"With only 20 more days left in the spring season, we'll have to get right at the game con dition scrimmages." The Cornhuskers conclude their spring sessions on April 5, when they clash with former Scarlet grid tars in the an-, nual Alumni-Varsity game. Several early lineups were an nounced by Coach Glassford. As the Huskers have had only light workouts so far this spring, the teams were based on 1951 per formances of the players. Glassford 's number one eleven consisted of Bill Scha backer and Dennis Emanuel, ends; Jerry Minnick and Ed Husmann. tackles; Carl Brasee and George Frochaska, guards; Verl Scott, center; John Bor dogna, quarterback; Bill Thayer and Bob Smith, halfbacks; George Cifra, fullback. The Husker mentor commented that he expected to see several new men working their way into the lineup before the close of spring training. Other lineups were listed ac cording to C, D, E, F, G, H and I, and are subject to change over night.

Only 18 Mors Days Til NU Will Open Against Drake '9' and capable Jim Cederdahl have forged to the front on the basis of early drills. Chuck Jensen, Gerry Sand bulte, Jim Oliver and Walt Finke still could have plenty to say about who will handle the behind-the-bat chores. Hard working Bill Giles, who has made considerable progress the past few weeks, and Novak are fighting for the first base spot. Novak appears to have a slight edge because of his su perior stickwork. Bob Reynolds, Ray Mlado vich, Bob Decker, Fred Seger, Al Karle, and John Leach are waging a battle for the second, third and shortstop positions. A possible combination might find Reynolds handling the .key stone sack, Mladovich at the difficult shortstop slot, and Decker at the hot corner.

With only eighteen days of practice time remaining before the season opener" with Drake, Baseball Coach Tony Sharpe has drawn up the blueprint for the 1952 edition of his diamond squad. From over fifty aspirants, Sharpe has narrowed the group to twenty-eight "top contend ers." Topping the list of pitching candidates are Dick McCormick, red-headed junior who anchored the 1951 mound staff; Fran Hoff maier, left-handed frosh who has impressed in early workouts; and Pat Mallette, strong-armed right hander from Uehling. Other outstanding prospects include Ray Novak, versatile baseballcr from Omaha who will doable as a first baseman; Charlie Wright, hard throwing Scottsbluff grad; Dale Bunsen, letterman on the 1951 unit; and Al Benjamin, tall righthander who needs control Sigs, Fijis Land 2 On Frar'B' Basketball Team By BILL MUNDELL Intramural Sports Columnist Two men each from champion Sigma Chi and runnerup Phi Gamma Delta spice the 1952 Fra ternity "B" All-Star selections. The intramural Bee basketball outfits is the second to be run in the Daily Nebraskan with the Fraternity "A," Independent and All-University aggregations next to appear. Ben Leonard and Larry Dun ning of Sigm Chi and Jack Shull and Mutt Maupin of the Weeji Fijis are the four top men on the first team. Dick Monson of Alpha Gamma Rho rounds out the top squad. Only one man garnered a unani mous vote from the I-M managers who submitted votes for their teams' top opponents of the year. That one man is Jack Shull of the Fijis. Shull was the key man on a team of star players. He was by far the top scorer of the high flying Fijis and in addition was a spark on defense.

At least I have bruises to support my "I was sick" excuse to my instructors. I think I got the elbows of all 55,302 people that witnessed the eight sessions and got them where they hurt most. But don't think it wasn't enjoyable and don't tell the other half hundred thousand that they didn't have fun, because it was a great four days of sporting entertainment. First of all, let us offer congratulations to Scottsbluff, Minden, Chadron Prep and Uehling for their winning feats. They put on a good show and there is no doubt about the best teams winning. Their winding up with the ribbons was no surprise. Your scribe picked Minden and Uehling to take the B and D honors and tabbed Chadron Prep to finish runner-up in class C. I heard about the potent Scottsbluff crew and how they ran ram pant in the North Platte district tourney and knew they could take it all, but still I didn't have the courage to pick them. Their vic tory over Fremont was one of six contests that stumped me in the 28 games played to give me a batting average of .786 for the week of action. It was good basketball all the way, which is. more than can be said for the officiating. It seems to us pretty pathetic that Nebraska's sports-minded planners can produce no better than what wandered around the courts in striped shirts throughout the tourney. The of ficials were consistent, however, consistently terrible. As has been the custom the past few years, the Coliseum was filled with signs and banners of all sizes, shapes and expressions. Fremont supplied the majority this year with such expressions as "Heckle Tech," "To Heck with Tech" and "Fremont Home of Champions." The Ticers also cave forth with "The Big-Ten Strikes Again" which paid tribute to Scottsbluff as well as themselves in the finals. Northeast came up with "tsoot the Bulldogs' ana noia xnai Tiger." Unfortunately for the Rocket fans and four little Rockettes, in particular, the latter failed to impress the Tigers. These four gals nearly killed a photographer who made the mistake of snapping a picture of them crying their eyes out over the Northeast defeat. Only superior speed saved him and his camera. o The photographer was not the only one who respected the Northeast anger. Fremont fans, as a whole, gave wide path to Rocket faithful following the hectic semi-final contest. I walked from the Coliseum late Friday night and chanced upon a group of five Tiger prepsters. They immediately challenged "Are you from Northeast?" and for a joke I said yes. Three seconds later I was standing alone with only the sounds of ten frantic feet tearing off for safety. These Lincoln schools have quite a reputation. Coach Bob Faris of Fremont should be pleased to know that I found a couple more coaches more foul-mouthed and ill-mannered than himself. Faris must be congratulated for improvement over last year, however. My ears are still burning from then. They were completely singed off when Neal Mosser of Omaha Tech and Eddie Johnson of Northeast took over. As bad as the of ficiating was, I still don't see how the officials stomached all these two threw at them. Mosser's cagers took a verbal lashing, also, that made me want to "de-emphasize coaches." I'm planning to become a coach but maybe I had better give it up. I haven't a wide enough vocabulary. Passing out honors the best cheering section, organized and otherwise, goes to Northeast. The best dressed cheerleaders again goes to Scottsbluff. West Point took honors as providing the fans with the biggest upset by stopping Hildrcth. 9 A couple final notes concerning Fremont. Last year the Fremont band played "Goofus" after each victory. The words go "Goofus, has been luck for me." It sure was. This year the Tiger band jumped the gun and played it before the Scottsbluff game. Well, at least we got to hear it. I was mentioning that the Fremont stall was the best weapon I saw in Nebraska high school basketball. One Scottsbluff onlooker put me in my place with the remark, "It's not much good unless you're ahead." How true. egm defeated several teams during the year, was personally broken up by Shull in their semi-final contest In the playoffs. Maupin was the other point getter on the second-place Phi Gams. When Shull was absent or off his usual form, Maupin more than carried the load and when they were both present, thev were the most feared two-some in Bee basketball. Leonard was the number two man in the voting, as he and Dunning easily repeated as choices for the 1952 team along with Maupin. Leonard was con sistently good throughout the year while Dunning's perform ance was hot and cold, mostly hot. Both were top rebounders and were instrumental in their team's climb to the champion ship. Monson was top man on the best AGR team in recent years. His outstanding point-gathering and rebounding led the Aggies to the semis in that division. The Phi Gams gain added hon ors with the naming of Clark Caley on the second team. Team ing up with Caley on the number two outfit are Mac Bailey of Al pha Tau Omega and Charlie Bet zelberger of Phi Kappa Psi at the guards, Ted Forke of Sigma Al pha Epsilon at the pivot spot and Ray Vlasin of Farm House at the other forward slot. Seven more Bee stars gained honorable mention. Balderston Posts 8.7 The parade of top ranking scholars continues to roll along this week with the report that the Nebraska swimming star, Buele Balderston attained an 8.7 average last semester. Balderston was carrying 20 hours and had only one grade, a 7, below 9. Coach Hollie Lepley struck the average for his entire team at 5.92. David Gradwohl had an 8.3 mark.

Second Floor There were few veteran ab sentees when Coach Don Faurot and his grid lieutenants began their spring check-out of Tiger football talen at Columbia yes terday. Some nineteen lettermen re ported for the 20-day session which will extend over a five week period. The annual spring game, climaxing .he workouts, will be held on April 10 and by that time Tiger coaches ought to have a fair line on the huskies most apt to carry the load next fall. In recent years, spring ball at Mizzou hasn't truly previewed prospects for the coming season. This spring. It's a different story. Only four lettermen have obtained Faurot's waiver. Backs Bob Schoonmaker, Bill Fessler, and Tony Scardino, and guard Bob Castle, are the veterans not required to be on hand. Schoon maker and Scardino look set for infield jobs with the baseball team, while Fessler will be hurdling on the track squad. Castle, a two-year regular at guard, is taking the rest treat ment after a knee operation last month. Working with the Split T and spread formations, the Tigers will concentrate on polishing both of fensive weapons in the weeks ahead. Last year, Missouri sel dom punched out sustained yard age off its Split T ground ma neuvers but the spread's success enabled the Tigers to finish sec ond nationally in passing offense. Except at center and left half back, Missouri's returning veter ans are nicely strewn throughout the lineup. Toughest to replace of the departed seniors will be two all-conference standouts center Bill Fuchs, defensive captain, and halfback junior Wren offensive captain, and the club's top ground-gainer and punter.
