THE jNEBRASKAN
In The Stands
Coach's Position Strong;
Groups Rally To His Side
By GEORGE PAYNICH
Sports Editor
Granting that the recent NU
player action was ill-advised and
ill-timed, the fact remains that
there must be something basic
ally wrong with the football sys
tem nere to permit such a situ
ation to come about.
There Is no doubt that many of
the signers wish they had never
heard of the matter, but still
many considered it the only way
to better relations between the
quad and its coach. The trouble
doesn't merely stem from too
much work.
COACH GLASSFORD S speech
drew a standing ovation from the
host American Leeion Post Num.
l'ber One in Omaha Wednesday
evening.
He still Is the Husker football
coach and will remain so if he
desires. If he does we hope his
Johnson, Weber, Seger
Among Top JO Scorers
Three of Nebraska's "Whiz
Kids" are among the ten top
scorers in the Big Seven con
ference. Fred Seger is third
with a 20 point average, Bill
'Johnson is fifth and Don Weber
seventh.
Another Husker, Willard Fag
ler is eleventh with a 11.0 aver
age. LEADING SCORERS

player-coach relations gets ironed
out. His public relations seem
in good order!
THE HUSKER coach has
proved he has many backers and
has surprised his critics with his
strong position. We hope the
boys who signed and still have
eligibility will not be too badly
hurt if Glassford remains. His
speech seemed to indicate that
he was paving the ground for
better future relations if he does
remain at Nebraska.
GLANCING BACK over the se
mester in this our last edition we
find the top athletic stories cen
tering around the latest football
controversies.
HUSKERS JOHN Bordogna and
Nick Adduci are opening a "Pi
zarria" in Lincoln. Nick tells us
that "joint" will open in a week
with delivery service, with "the
grana opening coming in about
a month. The establishment will
be located on North ,16th near
the Elgin plant.
As we say coodbve to The No.
braskan and to the Universitv.
we only hope we presented a fair
report to all. Congrgatulations
to the news sports editor Gary
Frandsen and also to Glenn Nel
son, Skip Hove and Frank Sor
enson for their help adios!

we wisn to remind you as
you leave the Coliseum to walk
safely, and If you drive, to
drive safely."
..... . .
"we request your co-operation
In remaining off of the playing
field."
These classical remarks have
been heard at University of Ne
braska athletic events for many
years. If you are as curious as
we are you probably have had
a longing desire to know the
owner of that familiar voioe.
WITH THE help of publicist
John Bentley, we decided to find
out something more about this
mysterious figure. Mr. Bentley
arranged the meeting, and we
1 discovered the owner to be Ralph
Beechner, co-ordinator of Ath
letics, physical education and
recreation for the Lincoln Public
School System.
THE FORMER University of
Nebraska student, class of 1930,
i informed us that he got into this
particular field at the beginning
, of world war 11 when approacn
ed by John S. Selleck, then ath
letic business manager at NU,
for the purpose of broadcasting
Nebraska football games.
After one year at the broad
cast Mike Beechner switched to
the public address system and
has been an institution here ever
since for better than ten years.
BEECHNER HAS been a part
of the Lincoln school system
since 1930. His first coaching
Job was at the old Jackson High
School in University Place.
From- 1937 to 1945 he was
headman in football, basketball
and track at Lincoln High
School. From 1945 to 1950 he
wag the Intramural and athletic
director. Since 1950 Ralph has
held his current position as co
ordinator. RALPH DESCRIBES his Job
as public address announcer ns
"interesting but hard." "You
can't really enjoy the games be
cause you can't afford to make a
mistake," he said.
"In all the years I have been
t this Job," chuckled Ralph, "I
have had only one complaint. It
was in the form of a letter I'rom
n outstater who complained
bout my pronounciation of the
word athlete!"
Beechner h.sn't missed a Ne
braska home football or basket
ball game during the last ten
years. During the grid season Ms
post Is way up on top of the west
stadium.
During the basketball season
you can spot him at the scorers
desk.
HIS GREATEST problem i
trying to be as inconspicuous as
possible. "People don't want play
by play reporting, but they want
the necessary facts," Ralph said.
It might be true that his re
mark! go at times unheeded, but
we still consider an athletic
event at NU not formally closed
until we hear Mr. Bcechner's
parting words.

The Guy Behind The Voice

To those who might have
wondered as to the man be
hind the voice at NU football

ten years. (Nebraskan Photo).

gaining 13 for the Nus.
THE PHI Delts once again hit
the win nrail by outlasting the
Phi Psi's, 46-40. Bill Ross and
Bob Bachman shared scoring
honprs, Ross hitting 16 for the
Ph: Delts and Bachman the same

On another court the Delts
were again losing by one big
point, this time at the mercy of
SAE, 42-41. Dave Olson got 14
for the Delts, while Gus Lebsock
netted 12 for SAE.
ELSEWHERE SAM bumped
off Delta Sigma Pi 46-27. Earl
Marcus threw in 11 for the Sam
mies. Also the Pi Kaps took an
A and B double header from the
Tekes, 49-33 and 34-25. Floyd
Mason pumped in 21 for the Pi
Kaps in the A game.
