Glassford Names Starting Eleven
For All-Sports Day Grid Contest
By GLENN NELSON
Sports Editor
A steady drizzle and sluggish
footing on the Husker practice
field drove the Cornhusker spring
footballers indoors again- Wednes
day as spring workouts neared
completion.
But the inside workout did not
keep the Huskers from staging an
other night of "rough stuff" drills,
including contact work on funda
mentals and play execution
Coach Glassford has named
three Varsity lineups for the All
Sports Day game Saturday, which
will terminate spring practice ses
sions for the year. Game time is
2 p.m.

As the sun broke through the
almost ever-present overcast once
again Tuesday evening, intra
mural softball play was high
lighted by the one-hit pitching
performance by Arnie Boich as
Practical Arts swamped Navy
R.O.T.C. by a 13-1 count in four
innings.
In intramural play when one
team is ahead by ten runs after
four complete innings, the game
is automatically over.
In that four innings Boich
struck out nine out of twelve bat
ters to face him while almost
duplicating his great performance
of last week. One week ago today,
he pitched a no-hit, no-run game
while fanning 17 out of 18 batters.
Boich was only two outs away
from this feat again when a home
run off the booming bat of Jim
bkinner spoiled his hopes and pro
vided the only hit and only run
the happless Middies could mus
ter. Meanwhile, the seven Prac
tical Arts players were banging
out nine hits and were crossing
the plate 13 times. Numerous er
rors hurt the Middies consider'
ably.
Jim Worth, while playing third
base and short stop for the short
handed P. A.'s, led their attack
with a single, a double and two
home runs in five trips to the
plate besides scoring four of their
runs. Seven P. A,, batters reached
base via the base on balls route
to further hurt the Navy's cause.
Only two Middies drew walks.
The win shot Practical Arts
into first place in league VIII
with a 2-0 mark while it was the
third loss for the Middies holding

playoff berth next week.
Inthe fraternity division, the
only action was in League II with
Phi Kappa Psi edging out Phi
Delta Thcta by a 6-3 score. As a
result, the Phi Psi's took over
first place in their league and the
Phi Delt's remained in fourth
place behind the victors, Alpha
Gamma Rho and Kappa Sigma
with a 1-2 count.
Don Frei twirled for the S
Strect boys, allowing only three
hits while fanning nine in five
and one-half innings. It is the
first time Frei has performed on
the mound this year, and it was
an amiable debut.
Strangely enough, the Phi Psi's
could only garner one single, but
seven walks and five errors
proved disasterous for the Phi
Delt's, who led at the end of two
innings by 3-1, and were onl.lKbe

frame.

The annual Husker sports clas
sic, which is one of seven athletic
events scheduled to fill the All
Sports Day program, will be the
fourth running of the affair. In all
three previous contests, the Old
timers have presented rugged
competition, tying the Varsity
once and losing close battles in
the other two games.
But this year the Alumni appear
in a more likely position to annex
their initial All-Sports Day grid
victory.
Handling passing chores for the
Alums will be two of the greatest
quarterbacks in NU's history, Fran
Nagle and Sam Vacanti, who are
determined to harrass Nebraska's
aerial defense. Receivers might
present the greatest problem in
the Oldsters' passing offensive,
however.
