been floating around for some
time rumoring- that Nebraska of

The recently-resigned mentor
of the Husker basketball team
stated that "the pressures
attached to coaching outweigh
the satisfactions." Good also
said he'll remain at Nebraska
as a physical education instructor.
Nebraska as an assistant profes- His 1953-54 squad got off to a
sor of physical education for fast start with four atraieht Bit
Seven triumphs, but then came
six straight setbacks. The team
wound up with a 5-7 conference
men. He will assume a staff po
sition in that department on May
31.
"I have reached the place,"
Good stated, "where the pres
sures attached to coaching out
weigh the satisfactions. I like
Lincoln and my association with
University and believe I have
something to contribute to the
teaching program."
John K. Selleck, acting chan
cellor of the University, said
selection of a successor to Good
would not be made until some
time after the arrival of Bill Or
wig, new Husker athletic direc
tor, from Michigan on April 15.
THERE ARE indications that
Good might be back in the coach
ing game before too long. In leav
ing the basketball post and ac
cepting the teaching position, he
will receive a salary cut of $3,200,
from $7,700 to $4,500. Good also
has been coaching basketball for
26 years at Indiana Central, In
diana and Nebraska.
Good's resignation came shortly
after the Board of Intercollegiate
Athletics announced the approval
of the Board of Regents to go
ahead and review the develop
ment of the Husker basketball
program. The okay came on Sat
urday.
While coach at Nebraska, Good
and his Husker teams won
while losing 99. In 1949
and 1950 his teams were co-cham
pions of the Big Seven Confer
iu. hut since then came four
straight losing seasons. The best
year for Good at NeftrasKa came
In 1950 when his sauad won 16
games while losing only 7.
record.
GOOD RECEIVED his under
graduate degree with a major In
physical education from Indiana
Central College, Indianapolis, In
1925, and a master of science in
physical education from the Uni
versity of Indiana in 1932. '
He was a member of the ath
letic staff at his alma mater for
16 years, serving as director of
physical education, basketball
coach and a teacher of a wide
range of physical education
courses.
In 1943 he moved to basketball-
crazy Indiana University as head
basketball coach and came from
there to the University of Ne
braska in 1946. At the Husker in
stitution, in addition to his coach
ing duties, he has assisted with
the teaching program in the phy
sical education department dur
ing the summer sessions. His
overall record at all three schools
has been 311 games won and 180
lost.
Among the basketball players
Good developed at the University
Includes two Big Seven choices
on his two crack title teams, Cen
ter Bus Whitehead and Forward
Claude Retherford.
Good also produced such out
standing performers as Center
Bob Pierce, currently with the
Phillips Oilers; Guard Jim Bu
chanan, a conference scoring sen
sation; Center Bill Johnson,
Guard Joe Good (his son) and
Guard Fred Seger.

Currently On A Southern Trip
Coach Tony Sharpe's Univer
sity of Nebraska baseball
squad Is currently on a six
game trip down South where
they play two game series
with Tulsa, Houston and
Texas. Their first contest is
today when they meet the
Golden Hurricanes at Tulsa.
Ray Novak is slated to be the
Nebraska starter. Here is the
1954 squad (left to right):

Ray Novak Starts Against
Tulsa Baseball Nine Today
Four Spring Sport Teams In Action During Vacation
Ray Novak, veteran Univer
sity of Nebraska pitcher and
first baseman, will open on the
hill today as the Cornhusker
baseball team opens their 1954
campaign against the University
of Tulsa. The game is the first
of a two-game series.
Coach Tony Sharpe had
earlier Indicated that Novak
would not go the full nine in
nings, but Instead be relieved
If two fine broad-jumpers
maintain their unrehearsed
spirit of cooperation, one of
them may erase the second most
ancient record on the Kansas
Relays books when they meet
here April 17 in the 19th run
ning of the Mt. Oread Olympics.
The lads in question are John
Bennett, Marquette's tiny NCAA
champion, and Neville Price,
Oklahoma's three -time, Big
Seven king. It will be recalled
that last year Price was a heavy
lavorite to annex his favorite
event. Bennett was unheralded,
rating a bare mention on the
pre-meet form chart. But he
was happy to pose with the yet
crowned Oklahoma champion
for at least one press photog
rapher. It was cold day. Price,
a South African, spent much of
the afternoon huddled in nis
sleeping bag . . . and the lens
man wanted to get away with a
picture of "the champ" before
his fingers became too stiff to
level the camera.
The photographer got hla shot
of "the champ" all right, but it
wasn't Price. Purely by accident
he had chosen Bennett to pad
out the picture. Bennett won at
25-4, just a fraction under the
record. Price was third at 24
i. The lensman scored too. He
was able to present his boss with
a unique picture of the un
horsed favorite and the i;n
ranked new king.
Bennett's effort here was
wind-blown. It grazed Ed
Gordon's long-standing mark
(since 1931) by of an Inch,
m
v K 'J 'i
t
thus taking rank as the second
longest in Mt. Oreaa annais.
But he was happy. It was 13
inches beyond his previous best.
Almost three months later, ihe
5-7, 147-pound Hill-topper
proved his Kansas leap was no
fluke. He bounded Z5-38 on
the Nebraska runways at Lin
coln to snare the NCAA title.
And there was no friendly wind
in this one.
Bennett has progressed from
that point. He was undefeated
in 10 Scandinavian meeis last
summer. He won five indoor
meets in as many starts this
winter. Enroute he established
a new Drake fieldhouse record
of 23-5 in a dual against the
Bulldogs, and reached his all
time indoor best of 24-6 Vs. in
winning the Michigan State
Relays.
Bennett's success traces to
two physical attributes . . . 1)
His native speed, and Z) His
tremendous leg spring. While in
Scandinavia last spring he fre
quently trailed Kansas States
Thane Baker home in the 00
and 220. At the 1953 Indoor
CCC he hi?h-jumped 6-5, elrht
inches over his hea, in pushing
Drake's Arnie Betton to a new
record.
Meanwhile, what of Price, who
has been the casual victim of
Bennett's successes? Neville re
tained his Big Seven Indoor title
in February at 24-4 Va. He won
the National Indoor AAU at 24
5, a figure second nationally
only to Bennett's Michigan State
leap, in latest NCAA tabula
tions. The spare Sooner owns an all
time high of 25-2V. which he
used to bag the 1952 Taxas
Relays, and twice last year was
within an inch of 25-0.

ton and then the squad winds up

homa's All-Sports Day program.

tively, will also be on the south
