The fleet soph football end played errorless baseball at third
base last summer for the Turtle Creek club of the Pittsburg AAA
Independent League, leading his mates with a .753 average at the
plate while topping the league in home runs, doubles and stolen
bases.
George Paynich, Des Plaines, 111. football letterman at Ne
braska, also played some outstanding baseball last summer, as player
coach of the Fresnillo Zacatecas of the Mexican League.
Paynich set the league's record in extra base blows, and gar
nered 57 home runs in 63 games.
Boll To Get $30,000
Don Boll, who played outstanding defensive guard for Coach
Bill Glassford's Cornhusker gridiron club last fall and recently signed
to play with the Washington Redskins next fall, has announced that
his salary will exceed $30,000.
This amount is somewhat of a record for Redskin rookie line
men. The 240-pound Boll was called "the most terrific big man I've
seen in college ball last year" by 'Skin scouts during their visit
with The Pink Rag sport staff Wednesday.

Jerry McNiclc, flashy football
quarterback, has given up studies
at the University of Nebraska to
accept a position as modeling
agent for the Maiden Form Bra
Co., of Pitfalls, New Mexico.
I "I can't afford to stay at Ne
braska and play ball no more.
said McNick. "My contract ran out
this month and they won't give
me $8,000. I quit," he said.
McNick was previously one of
Nebraska's highest paid athletesj
until xne receni comueis wun me
athletic department.
George "Pudgy" Clark, athletic
director, expressed disappoint-
men over McNick's decision. "We
just can't afford to pay him that
much money. We have too many
other expenses to keep up."
It is presumed that Director
Clark was referring to the new
salary hikes demanded by corrupt
officials and referees recently.
McNick was awarded an ail
American rating by the Delta Up
