Sports Staff Writer
Another All-Sports Day has
come and gone and if the enthu
siasm of the crowds and the
spirited competition of the ath
letes was any indication of this
year's success, the athletic carni
val has been cemented even
stronger as an annual Cornhusker
sports tradition.
Nebraska baseballers per
formed before an overflow
crowd despite unfavorable
weather. The Alum-Varsity
football attraction drew the
days largest turnout, estimated
between eight and ten thousand,
while the eager strutted their
tuff before a near-capacity
crowd.
Outstanding performers in this
fina array of sports talent in
cluded for N. U. varsity teams,
John Bordogna, football; Fred
Seger and Joe Good, basketball;
and Fran Hoffmaier and Bobby
Decker, baseball.
Standouts in a brilliant cast
of former Husker athletic hot
shots were Fran Nagle, Bill
Mueller and Tom Novak, foot
ball; and Bus Whitehead and
Jim Buchanan, basketball.

Junior Wren Begins
Tiger Ball Workouts
Missouri's baseball team added
a hard-socking outfielder and a
new lessee at first base early this
week two moves which figure to
'better equip Coach "Hi" Sim
mons' Tigers for their impending
22-game schedule.
Sliding under the opening
game wire, Captain Junior Wren
took part in his first practice
game Monday, after shedding a
cast he's carried for a fractured
right wrist ever since football
season. The 185-pound center
fielder, who led Tiger batsmen
with an overall .356 mark last
year, pronounced himself ready
for the first game with Ft. Leon
ard Wood here Friday after
noon. Game-time is 3:10 p.m.
Coach Simmons also revised his
infield defenses this week, send
ing Bob Schoonmaker, erstwhile
shortstop, to first base and pro
moting another sophomore, Duane
Dickinson, to the short field
vacancy. Completing the inner de
fensive arc will be veterans Kent
Kurtz at second base and Ross
Boeger on third.
The Tigers thus come up to the
1952 starting gate, with six letter
men, two sophomores, and possibly
a freshman in the lineup. v
Ft. Wood's Hilltoppers a
solid array of former major and
minor league stars will be
swinging against Mizzou's best
pitching here Friday. Right
handers Dick Atkinson and Don
Boenker both lettermen will
face the Army nine. Herb Gell
man, hefty junior, will catch.
With Wren back, Jack Patchett
Chillicothe senior goes to left
field in the M.U. perimeter de
fense. There's a two-waj' argu
ment for the right-field job, in
volving Ralph Monroe, 1951
squadman, and Vic Swenholt, a
freshman sticker who bats and
throws left-handed.
At first glance, the Tigers
have sound pitching, and look
capable defensively at all points.
However, there's no over-supply
of stout hitters in the Mizzou
camp. Wren is the only one of
six returning lettermen (pitch
ers excluded) to bat over .300
last year, and newcomers like
Schoonmaker, Dickinson, Swen
holt and Monroe will have to
furnish some clouting.
It's doubtful that Missouri stick
ers will get many safe bingles off
the Army trio of Bill Freese, Dick
Weik and Darrell Rothrock all of
whom are slated to take three-inning
whirls on the mound. Freese
is Yankee property, while Weik's

changed from last year's outfit
which split a pair of games with
Mizzou. Gone overseas is Her
bie Adams, former White Sox
flychaser, and another out
fielder, Burdette Thurlby, is still
tied up with the basketball team
in a Texas service tourney.
But Catcher-M a n a g e r Vern
Rapp, who's in the St. Louis Car

sonnel problems. His infield will
have Preston Ward, former Cub
infielder, at first; Jimmy Finigan,
second base; Ed Waytula, short
stop; and Don Dahlke, third base.
All are minor league alumni

draft.
New to the Hilltop lineup Is
Solly Drake, leading (.341) hitter
in the 1951 Western Association
race. He'll play left field, with
Neil Howard, who was contracted
to the Milwaukee Brewers this
year, and Joe Sturdivant, unat
tached, completing the outfield.

Cornhusker Spring Grid Drills Finished;
Coach Bill Glasslord States Satisfaction
By GLENN NELSON
Assistant Sports Editor
Head football coach Bill Glass
ford is satisfied with his squad's
improvement during spring grid
drills and believes the alumni
helped the Husker squad by com
ing back for Saturday's game.
"We were short of some nice
weather for our spring practice
sessions," the Husker mentor
commented as he looked out
onto a warm, sunny, but desolate
practice gridiron.
"We had a lot of comparatively
inexperienced freshmen on the
field Saturday, whieh we were
trying to look over as well as pos
sible," he added.
"But we had such a limited
number of spring practice ses
sions (only 16) this spring com
pared to many more last spring
that it is much more difficult to
mold together all of the potential
material for next fall," he added.
Big Seven rules, which limited
the Nebraskans to only 20 spring
grid workouts in a 30-day practice
period, put somewhat of a damper
on the grid staff's head man when
he planned his practice schedule.
But the overall improvement
of the team as a whole during
the short period of practice lead
ing to the alumni-varsity finale
impressed Coach Glassford. He

Kennedy, scrappy Nebraska halfback, looks for an opening in the
is especially pleased with the
fine showing which some of his
young, inexperienced freshmen
made.
"Our auarterback situation is
definitely on the incline," Glass
ford said. "The passing and all-
around day of John Bordogna
and Ken Brown showed a great
improvement in Saturday's game."
"The entire squad is still lack
ing fundamental blocking and
tackling, but I'm sure that a
number of the boys are going to
go both ways next fall."
Glassford indicated that he
plans to rely on the platoon sys
tem to some degree, but intends
to stick to his earlier plans for
building Husker ironmen who can
perform both offensively and de
fensively. The Cornhusker football squad
was minus the chores of several
men who were injured in spring
grid drills prior to the annual
alumni-varsity clash.
Jerry Minnick and Don Boll,
who were both slated for start
ing tackle births in Saturday's
game, both turned up injured
late last week. Minnick injured
an ankle, and Boll pulled a liga
ment in his leg.
