tion lor the Big Seven champion

The line-up will be a little dif
ferent than it has been in the past.
Coach Tony Sharpe has already

ing. The change In the batting or
der should distribute the batting

line-up.
Jim Cederdahl and Ray Novak
are tied for the batting leadership
on the squad with a .326 average.
Cederdahl has been at the plate
more times than Novak and has
garnered one more hit than the

spective averages are the same.
Novak, who Is the top pitcher
on the Nebraska team, has been
nominated by Sharpe to open the
Cyclone series on the mound.
When Novak is not pitching he
doubles as the first baseman.
Ray has a commendable 1.59
earned run average and has
pitched more innings of ball than
any other chucker on the entire
team. He has not dropped a tilt

Tomorrow the Nebraska football fans from all over the state
will have a chance to see what is in store for them this coming fall.
Coach Bill Glassford has been toiling his men for almost a
month on the fundamentals of the single-wing attack. The weather
has been against the coach for most of the duration of spring prac
tice but some outdoor contact work was accomplished.

plays from last season. Glassford employed some spread formations
in his offensive plans and they proved to be ground gainers in most
cases.
The Scarlet team has numerous returning veterans to work
with. The backfield is studded with many powerful runners and
passers. Such names as Bordogna, Cifra, Smith, Brown, Korinek.
Thayer, and Yeisley bring back many pleasant moments for the
Husker fans. The return of these veterans and many promising
freshmen ease the coaches' problem of filling the shoes of All
American Bobby Reynolds who graduates in June.
The line loses such stalwarts as Carl Brasse. Ed Husmann.
jVerl Scott, Kay Curtis, Ray Prochaska, and Lawrence Goll but the
iiront Jme still boasts many standouts.
All-Big Seven selections Jerry Minnick and Bill Schabacker
lead the lists of nominations. Other familiar names which Nebraska
jfans are familiar with and will be able to see All-Sports Day are
jMink, Yeager, Connor, Goth, Kitzelman, Paulson, Oliver, Oberlin,
ana Bryant.
Some of the varsity boys will not be in suit tomorrow because
of participation in other sports.
Another question which will be answered tomorrow is how will
the new ironman NCAA ruling affect the Cornhuskers.
The rule was set up to help the smaller schools, but many
larger schools have voiced the opinion that it will help them also.
Nebraska was one of those schools to endorse the new ruling.
Talking about the NCAA brings up another question that hit
the sport page headlines this week
The NCAA has now come out and stated that they want no
more scholarships issued to athletes. Just in the past few months
the schools around the country disagreed on the new football ruling

breaking the Sanity Codes.

in their first Big Seven dual at

Nebraska's third place baseball
ers, previously scheduled to meet
Iowa State at 10 a.m. in the sec
