Sam J. Norgle Wins. Nebraskan
Award For 'Star Of
Arv.mrrti ill r - "StOl
By TBENK in
Sports Staff Writer
Sam J. Norgle, versitile Husker
amatory artist, has been award
ed the Nebraskan "Star of the
Week" accolade for an Inspired
" clutch performance In his first out
door clocking of the year late Satur
day night.
Norgle, who has been doing good
work all year in his Indoor per
formances, broke a Midwest AAU
endurance record of 4:36.9 in ad
vanced osculation with a brilliant
4:41.5. Although hampered by a
tight collar and bone chips in his
left elbow, Norgle showed fine form
throughout the evening. '
Real Mover
Eva Skalnik, venerable Husker
mentor In advanced interdigitation
and osculation, said "Norg'e is a
real mover."
Betsy Hearthrug, Norgle 's anchor
man, attested to the modest star's
skills. "He leaves you breathless,"
she chortled.
Because of bad weather, Nor
gle's record-breaking performance
was his first clocking outdoors. His
chances of lowering- the mark still
more are very good, Skalnik en
thused.
Norgle, an Arts and Party's jun
ior, is in his second year on the
Husker varsity. He completed a
brilliant prep career in various
parlors throughout the eastern
part of the state.
An avid trainer, Norgle takes his
sport very seriously. "If one is to
excel," he said, "one must devote
every minute of one's time to his
chosen sport." . ,
CarSeat Mobility
A brilliant clutch performer, Nor
gle is noted for his great mobility
across a car seat. He is currently
working on a book, "The Intricicate
Details of the Clutch in the Car."
Although it is too early in the
season to tell, he professed a de
sire to attack the existing world's
interlocking finger pressure record
of 18.4 kilograms set in 1947 by
Egrec Dublevay, the "Fantastic
Frenchman," who is now in re
' tirement. - I
Norgle is considered by Coach
Sklanlk to have a "good chance"

Q. Mr. Bragmann, what do yon
think of the sports situation this
semester?
A. You mean the sports horizon,
boy? WelL I'd say that our con
tingents are icing their share of
the tussles.
Q. I see. Well, what do yoa think
of ear football prospects for next
year?
A. '-'CVTI T vent down to watch
a the Spring workouts, and it looks
like our gridders will have a well
oiled machine. When the Big Red
steamroller dons its togs, it'll win
its share.
Q. How are the fresh ma a pros,
pects?
A. We have a good crop of year
lings this time, boy; after a few
more practice licks, they'll get
some varsity berths.
Q. What about ear track and
field team?
A. Glad you asked me that boy.
Just the other day I was shooting
the breeze with, youthful mentor
Jerry Lee, who thinks hell pilot
the Husker thinclads to many a
dual upset against the other spiked
shoe squads in the cinder circuit.
Q. We had a pretty geod wrestl
ing team this year, diJal we?
A. Yessiree, the matmen won
their share. And the Scarlet and
Cream grunt-and-groaners will gar
ner a few more laurels next year,
unless I miss my guess.
Q. It's always quite a thria,
Isn't It, when the state Ligh school
basketball teams come down for
the tournament?
A. Yeah, speculation runs rife,
when the prepsters invade the Uni
to break the osculation endurance
record of 4:57.3, set by Refard
Glotz of Bestead, Pa., in 1939.
"Who knows," Skalnik said with
a sly grin." he mieht be the world's
first five-minute man in oscula
tion."
Norgle has been amazingly free
from injuries throughout his ca
reer, he said. "The worst thine
that has ever happened w a s a
cracked rib I picked up in July,
1948, while training for the state
Junior Doubles competition."

tiple hand-kissing which still
stands.
Norgle 's outstanding performance
to date, aside from his recent
mark, is a record of 1:43.2 in mul
tiple mousing which still stands.
"It is one of the really great rec
ords in advanced osculation," Skal
nik said, her head bowed, a crys
tal tear coursing down her griz
zled chin.
Norgle set this mark January
15, 1955, in a dual meet. That same
evening he amassed 254 points
in davenport wrestling, for which

a sporting classic.
Q. Have yon noticed any changes
In the game over the years?
A. Well, I don't want to get out
jn a limb, o to speak, you know,
beh, heh, but I'd say many a cage
tourney is being won these days
on gratis shots, gift tosses.
Q. What a b e n t Intramurals?
Who's tops this year?
A. The ATO's are stand-outs,
boy.
Q. I've noticed that yon play up
the ATO's quite a bit on your
page.. Are tbey really the best
Intramural team?
A. No, boy, frankly the Betas
cop top honors, but I've had a
lot of pressure from my fraternity
brothers.
Q. I see. Well, now turning to
the University baseball prospects
A. Pardon me, by, but you mean
to say the "baseball horizon."
Q. Yes, the horizon. How da
things look?
A. Well. I'd say that amiable
coach Tony Sharpe's aggregation
will win their share.
Q. Have they played any games
yet?
A. Just practice matches. He's
sort of in the Grapefruit league

sion of fur national pastime, if
you know what I mean.
Q. I think so. How Is the pitch

A. Needs depth, I'd say, but it's
top-drawer, in the front ranks. He's
got a good crew of moundsmen,

use a few more portsidcrs south

a few lanky hurlers who can really

Blast Of The Week
Well, hi, there, ladies!
So Sam Nogle won the clutch
contest. Well, we girls all know
that if if weren't for Betsy, a won
derful example of our sex, he
wouldn't have set such a good rec

without us. No offense meant to
Sam, of course.

This has been one terrif' week,
what with everyone cutting classes

many of you at the wrestling
matches Wednesday night, and I'm
also pleased that everyone cut
golf class to take advantage of
the precious weather Thursday.
Dont forget now, I still have
plenty of blank scorecards for a

class later in the spring.
Fifth' By Default
Love Hall placed fifth in the tiddly-winks
round. (Love Hall is
mentioned before the other win

Shame, ladies.) First place was
won by Theta Zoo, and second

About Coed Football
This week W.A.A. will hold one

Coed Football? The main problem
is that some coeds prefer to re
serve that sport for social func

Orwig Limits
Participation
To 2 Sports
Bill Orwig, Athletic Director of
the University, announced Thurs
day athletes will be limited to par
ticipation in only two sports be
ginning next fall.
Orwig made the announcement
at a news conference. At the same
time, Intramural Director Ed Hig
ginbotham said the same policy
would be aDDlied to Intramurals.
Each student will be limited to
participate in only two sports.
The new" policy, according to
Orwie. is designed to "spread par
ticipation in athletics over more
students." A few athletes, he said,
are monopolizing the whole pro
gram. He added that participation in
more than two sports makes the
athlete stay in shape all year
round, a condition which "results
in the physical and psychological
deterioration of the athlete."
Orwig commented that the new
policy had been protested by a
group of eight N Club men who
claimed the restriction was unnec
essary. The N men claimed, ac
cording to Orwig, that the student
should be able to choose for him
self how many sports he could
participate.
Orwig pointed out, however, that
this has not prove true in the
past. Athletes have repeatedly
participated in too many sports,
he said, to the disadvantage of the
athletic program.

Today's Sports section will per
haps answer the question many of
our readers have been pondering
over. This dispatch will solve the
riddle of why there were over 200
thin tired bicycles parked in front
of Andrews the other day. It was
just the annual conclave of THE
ASSOCIATION FOR ENGLISH
MAJORS INTERESTED IN
PHYSICAL PARTICIPATION.
Each year at this time when the
squirrels are in bloom they gather
to cast ballots on ,the ALL UNI
VERSITY BASKETBALL TEAM.
Selections were based on past
performances - in their noonday
league held on the ceiling in the
Humanities department of Love
Library. The chairman of the elec
toral committee was quoted on his
opinions of this year's selections.
Odysseus P. Illiad stated:
Prithee, sire, I shall quoth to
thee my egrets eye vantage point
from whence I may depart upon
the just dues of thys honour."
Vectors Chasson, as he is affec
tionately called by his team mates,
was chosen on the basis of his out
standing angular complex periodic
oscillation on rebounds. He in turn
accredited all of his success to his
early childhood and his Boy Scout
leader, Kinaesthesia Ergs.
Never before in the annals of
these selections has there been a
forward quite so forward as For
ward. Forward's forwardness for
warded him to the forward for
ward position on the quintet. Gail
Butts displayed true artistic talent
at center as he paced his Palate
Plasterer squad onto greater
heights'. His play may be summed
up as subtle and somewhat ab
stract on offense but his contem
porary defense completely baffled
opponents. With another season of
eligibility remaining he may make
as good of name for himself as his
older brother Cigarr Butts.
With Rapid Robert Morgan in
the back court to add depth to the
fivesom the dream (not to be con
fused with nightmare) team be
gins to take form. Morgan was
warned several times throughout
the season to quit boring team
mates with dry lectures on road
trips. Stanley Ross was a stand

the better). O. C. Bouwsma

who wore the number 13 on his
toga will always be remembered
for his dangerous dribbling.
old-timers who belt the old apple
for the extra ones. In fact, I'd
predict that we'll chalk up our
share of circuit clouts.
Q. Any visible weaknesses?
A. I'd say we're a little soft down
the middle. We have a bunch of
hawk-eyed pros roaming the out
field pastures, but I think our
keystone combination needs to
whip into shape. Our backstop's
got an erratic wing, and I'm afraid
he won't be able to peg that old
sphere down to second in time to
nip off some of the base thefts
or larcenies. Some of these Okla
homa stalwarts can pound the old
base-paths, you know, fleet as
gazelles on?e they gain the initial
sack.
Q. The second baseman and the
shortstop are really bad, hah?
A. Oh no, they'll hold their own
when the chips are down. They're
no Tinkers and Evers, but they're
still a dangerous duo. And our
scrappy shortstop can really lay
the willow to that ball. We may
move him over to the hot corner,
is all.
Q. Well still have a pretty good
team, huh?
A. Given the breaks from the
three blind mice, the men in blue,
and with help of a few unsung
heroes in the locker room, they'll
win their share.
Q. Fine, Mr. Sports Editor, and
thanks for the Interview. D you
thinks youll win any honors with
your sports coverage this year?
A. I try to do my best here in the
press box, and I think well win
our share.

Columnist Describes
Cheating In Croquet
By CLYDE E. VATT
Sports Staff Writer
than discussing the merits of the
coaster brake on a bicycle is that
of learning how to win at croquet
without cheating. This is, indeed,
a problem.
I have never played, much cro
quet myself but I have tripped
over several of the wickets in the
night. Furthermore, I has v e
watched several very heated
matches in which the participants
used a great deal of profanity and
started swinging the mallets.
Actually, the method of the
game is quite simple. The object
is to maneuver your ball, with a
mallet as often as possible, be
tween a certain designated num
ber of wickets. The trick is made
beastly difficult because of the
smallness of the wicket opening
and the largeness of the ball.
Limiting The Opponent
The game thus resolves itself
into trying to limit your opponent
from getting through the wickets.
This can be dce in several ways:
1. Just before he shoots remove
the piece of grass directly in front
of his baU.
2. Ask him before each shot if
he has been getting his rest. His
hands are shaking and you're
somewhat concerned.
3. Before he lays mallet to ball
adjust the wicket he's aiming for.

Glassford and his family will re
main in Lincoln until the middle
of April when they will move to
Spokane. The former Pittsburgh
All-American said in a Nebraskan
interview Friday morning that his
stay in Lincoln had been an "un
usually enjoyable one." With typ
ical understatement he smiled and
added, "I guess I just like Ne
braska." Objective Coverage
Well-respected in the world of
sports, McBride has been associ
ated with the sports page of The
World Herald for many years. He
is especially well known for his
interest in high school sports and
his thorough, objective coverage
of the NU athletic arena. Often
seen scribbling on his small note
pad at football and basketball
practices, he is well respected by
Husker athletes for his faithful
sports reporting.
"We were indeed fortunate in
obtaining a man of McBride's cal
iber," Clarence Swanson of the
Board of Regents said. "Already
he has established an intimate
contact with the University ath
letic program and his sense of fair

Bob Southey, a laurels finner. He
was coached by his aged mentor
who was almost bent double with
toil. The squad was coached in
good, orthodox fashion and had
trained diligently.
Ifi contrast, the Exiles, sparked
by high point man George "Pretty
Boy" Gordon, had little training.
Rumor had it that they had been
seen breaking training regulations
in local bars.
The Lakeviewers showed their
usual even play that tends to wear
down their opponents, but tYr

sometimes erratic, Exiles. The
first round was a 2-2 draw with
"Pretty Boy" Gordon showing
some fancy knee work in spite of
an abviously bum leg.

The second round saw the
Exiles, interfused with celestial
ecstasy and cogna sweep the
boards, 3-1, to lead the play into
the third and final box.

BaU Transference
Of course, some explanation
must be made for the transference
of the ball from one side of the
hoop to the other. This can be
passed off very vaguely by mum
bling something in sonnet form
about the lie of the land, the tricky
terrain, misguided motives or
some equally ambiguous expres
sion. It is only advisable to say, how
ever, that at this point disagree

never gotten beyond this point.

Leo Scherer, Nebraskan sports
columnist who is normally reticent
about athletic affairs, said that
"this is just what the football
team needs." He added that Mc
Bride's "insight and football ex
perience" should give the Husker
aggregation a "healthy shot in the
arm."
No W H Sports Page
Floyd Olds, sports editor of The
Herald, expressed regret that Mc
Bride would be leaving the paper.
Without "McBride, he is reported
to have said, the World Herald's
sports page will be discontinued
until we can find a suitable re
placement. "Until this time we
will have to devote this space to

Sources close to The World Her

Pegler, nationally syndicated col
umnist, has been contacted to fill
the vacancy.
Several football players were
available for comment. Al Deines,
fine sophomore end prospect from
Scottsbluff, was pleased with the
