Two members of Canfleld A's
All University runnerups and one
each from the Geologists, Avery
and Hitchcock, nailed down po
sitions on the Independent All Star
first team.
A balanced, seasoned unit, the
first string has the ability to score
from any corner of the court.
Gary Heinzle, who sparked the
Geologists to the independent play
offs, teams with the point-producing
twosome from Canfield, Joe Hou
fek and LaVerne Torczon. Round
ing out the squad are Chuck Jen
sen, flashy guard for the Hitch
cock powerhouse, and Dick Prusia,
free-wheeling backliner for Avery.
Net Agitator
Heinzle, the gravel agitator who
did nothing but agitate basketball
nets during the season, steamed
the Rockhounds through League
17 with a 10-1 skein. A steady,
consistent player, Heinzle employed
an assortment of closein jump and
turn shots to compile a respectable
two figure scoring average. He
also is a fine defensive player and
Traveling Along" ""
The Sports Trail
By LEO SHERER JR..
Sports Staff Writer
I960 headline: "Gregg McBride and The Omaha World Herald
Silenced on Nebraska Athletics."
This In the opinion of many persons could be a much needed vision
In the future.
It is not denied that McBride and his 'staff of so-called "sporting
experts" provide the best all-around coverage of
sports in the state of Nebraska. The Omaha World
Herald has an enormous circulation and "blankets"
the state from east to west.
The big complaint is the handling of certain
aspects in their sports writing. In a recent sports
story the Herald had a sub-headline, "Tempera
mental Deines Still Missing."
This made many wonder what had happened
to Allen Deines, a fine end prospect from Scotts
bluff. As far as many knew, Deines was still on
the squad and is at the time this column appears.
An Explanation
The article quoted Coach Bill
absence of Deines from the top four teams in this way: "Al has
failed to show the proper improvement."
The word "temperamental" was not mentioned in Glassford's
quote, but in another paragraph, not quoted by Glassford, it said
"Deines, sidlined by injuries last fall, .is reported having trouble
of temperament this spring."
Can anyone just take the "reported" information and use it to
describe the character of a person? Is it good journalism to bring
disgrace against a person's name without good proof? These are
questions some people would like to direct to The World Herald.
The best recommendation to most sportswriters, including McBride,
is to come out and watch more practices instead of just sitting back
and writing up press releases, "it-was-reported" material and ten
minute press conferences.
Fischer Prize Example . . . '
The consistent running down of certain athletes in the Herald
r
;(
ia. 9
Courts Lincoln surprove beyond much doubt his ability as a footballer.
Fischer McBride must someday realize mat aimeies
are not mechanical machines that are completely perfect. Athletes
are human beings that are just as liable to make mistakes as the
next fellow.
Other Objections . . .
There are other objections against this newspaper. The one-sided
handling of the football player's rebellion last fall was Just one.
The Herald suggested that college fraternity pressure was among
outside forces causing the trouble. This was far from the truth as
the majority of students and people connected with the happening knew.
The latest episode was the Orange Bowl. McBride, who covered
the Rose Bowl in California, came back to Nebraska and wrote a
column concerning the alleged argument between players wives as
being one of the "happenings" in Miami.
Considering the McBride was in California, over 3000 miles away,
It sounds like just more "it-was-reported" material.
Very Discouraging . . .
The situation is rightdown discouraging when athletes, in most
eases, are trying to do a good Job in athletics, but still must put
up with this criticism by sportswriters and newspapers.
Someday maybe a university or college will produce some kind
of "miracle" team that will win 100 straight games, not make one
mistake in four years and have players that are physically and
mentally perfect. Then what will some writers complain about? The
headline: "Po-Dunk U Has Weak Schedule."

Herald is a common experience. Rex Fischer, the

McBride said in a recent column, "A good

Perhaps never before has the
fraternity all star quintette been
blessed such a wealth of height.
Averaging approximately 6 foot
3 inches, the team boasts scoring
potential from every position, ex
cellent rebounding strength and a
fine array of defensive players and
ball hawks. The fraternity selec
tions are the second in a series of
all - star aggregations picked by
the team managers themselves and
listed on The Nebraskan sports
page. The final bracket will the
All-University All, Star teams run
in Wednesday s edition.
Tall Trio
Adding the stratospheric punch
in the front court are Bob Brown,
6 foot 5 inch under the basket pil
lar of the front-running ATO's, Ed
Dugan, 6 foot 5-inch oneman gang
from Cornhuskker Coop, and Bill
Soelberg, the 6 foot 4-inch classy
pivot from Theta Xi. Bill Giles,
rugged center of the Phi Delt clan,
polled votes enough for the first
team but was moved into the back
court to make room for the tall
trio of Brown-Dugan-Soelberg. Lyle
Martin, floorleader and spearhead
of the Beta attack, rounds out the
mythical first five.
Brown, All-University selection in
football this fall, harvested all but
one vote to gain an all fraternity
slot for the second straight intra
mural campaign. Playing the mid
dle of the three-pronged Tau closein
combination of Al Blessing, Brown
and John Swanson, the big jump
shot artist compiled an impres
sive scoring total on jumps, soft
hook shots and tip-ins. In the All
University championship game with
Canfield Brown meshed 25 points.
Dugan ... All Round Cager
Dugan, all round cage performer,
was a popular selection after lead
ing the Cornhusker Coop sizzlers
to an unblemished record in League
4-A. Playing almost every position
with ease, the 6 foot 5 inch Dugan
patrolled the boards well and
dumped in jump shots and tipins
from most any angle with regular
ity. Big and tough, he was a fine
defensive player and moved .well
under the boards.
IM Ping Pong
Title Awarded
To Bergmanis
Sigma Alpha Epsilon won the
team trophy and Ilmars Bermanis
team trophy and Ilmars Bergamis
medal in the intramural ping pong
tournament played in the last few
weeks.
The Lutheran Student Associa
tion grabbed second place laurels
and Sigma Alpha Mu third place
in the team bracket. Bob "Purk"
Prokop, Seaton House I, won the
Quadrangle championship and Rob
ert Mortvedt, Lutheran Students,
took the organizations top spot,
Berganis repeated in the independ
ent playoffs.

SIZE
Teams
Filling in the post position is a
slightly shorter, but Just as rugged,
center candidate from Theta Xi.
Bill Soelberg, a hard-working hook
shot artist, was a bulwark under
the backboards and a consistent
scorer in leading the Theta Xi
quint in a 10-0 ramble through
League 3-A.
GUes Moved To Guard
Giles, normally patrolling the for
ward position or the post, is equal
ly at home in the front court.
Sparking a well-balanced Phi Delt
unit to a 9-1 seasonal mark and
the fraternity playoffs, Giles was
always good for a handful of buck
An NCAA Winner ... Bruce
Riley, versatile Husker gymnast,
cleaned up five places, including
a fifth in the high bars, and a ten
point total to vault Nebraska to a
tie for ninth place in the annual
NCAA national championship gym
nastic meet at UCLA Saturday.
In addition to his fifth on the
high bars, Riley took seventh place
in tumbling, eighth place en the
still rings, 11th place in the . aU
around even; and 11th place on
the parallel bars. Competing with
the nation's best, Coach Jake Geier
said Riley came through the gruel
ling contest "ltoking like a real
champion."

Yardley brings you
a super-wetting Shaving Foam
London style
Are you looking for a finer pressure shave? This disfinguiAed
product -conceived in England and made in America -has
a new super-wetting action which wilts the beard in a trice.
The foam washes off the face instantly (or rub it in!) and
leaves a most refreshk-g after-feeling. Normal shaving time
is cut by half. At your campus store, $1. Makers and dis
tributors for U.S.A., Yardley of London, Inc., New York.
o
ets and a raft of rebounds. Rough
and rugged, the prospective first
baseman on the baseball team
played ' fine defensive ball and
turned in excellent clutch perform
ances. Teaming with Giles at the guard
slots is Lyle Martin, set shot crack
erjack for the Beta five. Mixing'
drivein scoop shots with jump and
set shots from the free throw per
imeter, Martin scored consistently
in addition to his playmaking and
defensive chores. A six footer with
good spring, Martin cleared the
defensive boards.
Nipping closely at the heels of the
first string backcourt trio were Al
Blessing, ATO five-year intramur
al competitor, Fred Longacre, The
ta Chi hotshot, and LeRoy Butheiv
us, rough rebounding Delt. Bless
ing, a steady competitor, scores
consistently, rebounds well and
plays a fine defensive game. In
the championship tilt for All-University
laurels, he shackled Joa
Houfek, all Independent first team
choice, with a single goal from the
field. s
Longacre Has Spring
Longacre is probably the best
IM basketballer within six feet
of the basket. Possessing a terrific
spring and a fine touch for jumps
and tips, Longacre dominated play
around the budket and paced the
Theta Chi to an 8-3 slate. Butherus,
catlike defensive player and ball
hawk, teams with Longacre at the
forward positions. Lacking a scor
ing punch, "Butch" made up for it
in hustle and rebounding skill.
Doran Jacobs, diminutive guard
from Zeta Beta, Tau, added long
distance scoring punch and play
making finesse to the ZBT attack.
Bill Ross, flashy Phi Delt guard and
playmaker, fills out the second
squad.
Pushing the front-running ten for
all star accolades were Bob Cook
and Joe Poynter, late season en
trants to the IM are Erik Olsen,
Tom Healey,' George Hirschback,
Sam Bell and Bob Brum.
