All-Sports Day Near . , .
As all advance publicity has indicated, this All-Sports Day should
fce the finest assembled.
Heading the list of the day's athletic contests will be the slumni-
varsity football contest.
The roster for the grads is one filled with players of outstanding
' ability.
Returning to don the Husker numerals once more are such ilustriuse
r alums as Tom Novak, all conference center, Charlie Toogood, pres
ently employed as a tackle for the Los Angeles Rams, Bobby Reynolds,
the great halfback who was the talk of the nation his sophomore year
when he led the country in almost every department.
Ted Connor, Dennis Emmanuel, Rex Fischer, Sam Vacanti, fine
f quarterback on the Husker eleven in the 1940's, Carl Sammuelson, a
professional tackle with the Baltimore Colts, Bob Wagner, Bob
. Oberlin, John Borgdonia, George Gohde, Gerald Fergeson and a host
of others.
So by the mention of these few names, one can readily see the
terrific battle due Saturday. Husker rooters can once again see their
favorites of years gone by return to the Husker wars on the same
t lod they made their claim to fame.
It can also be an echo to the great support to be given to coach
Pete Elliot and his staff. This fine young mentor has taken his
relatively green squad and has molded it into what could someday
in tht near future be the Cornhuskers answer to Oklahoma.
My only hope is that Elliot isn't deserted before he gets a chance.
Construction can't take shape in a few hours, but once the foundation
is laid, the rest has been easy. Elliot has the foundation pretty well
in mind. Let us . . , the Husker backers, help him assemble the rest.
A big vote of thanks should go to a few men who have made this
All-Sports Day possible. To the various coaches, to Tom Novak and
Moon Mullins, to Bill Orwig, to John Bently and the rest, congratula
i tions on a job well done.
FCA . . .
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes sent a representative to the
campus Monday night for a talk.
Deacon Dan Towler, the great back of he Los Angeles Rams,
poke on what Christianity meant to him.
He stresses 'ery much fellowship with fellow man and the church.
One thing that he recommended very much was the first summer
conference1 of the FCA at Estes Park this coming August 19-23. The
main purpose of the conference is to make more real the individual
challenge of athletes to follow the church. Lectures, activities and
recreation will be the highlights of the conference. If anyone wishes
to attend, they may contact Rex Knowles at the Student Presbyterian
House.

braska in 1953. After his freshman
year he entered the service where
he served two years before return
ing to his college work.
Hawkins, while hi high school,
at Beatrice was a fine all-around
athlete participating in football,
basketball, and baseball. In his
final two years in high school,
Bill was one of the top performers
in the state and each year placed
well in the state track meets.
Hawkins is majoring in physical
education.

campus who is married.
The next meet for Nebraska and

be a roster that would make a
Big Seven coach burst with pride.
When such names as Tom Novak,
Bobby Reynolds, Charlie Toogood,
Sam Vacanti, Dennis Emmanuel,
John Borgdona and many others
are mentioned, the great Bud
Wilkinson would even shudder.
Could you picture a line starting
Toogood and Ted Conner at tack
les, Bob Wagner and Don Stras
heim at guards and Tom Novak
at center.
Add to this list. Bob Smith,
Borgdonia, Vacanti, Rex Fischer,
Ron Clark and other greats to the
backfield and the alums will be
well on their way.
Of course, if these men should
run out of gas, you always have
such all-time Husker greats as
Verl Scott, all-conference center,
Moon Mullens, Carl Sammuelson,
rugged tackle in the 1940's and
other stars to fill the gap.
AH in all, this All-Sports Day
should be one for Husker fans,
old and young alike, to enjoy
thoroughly.
Football isn't the only athletic
contest on the agenda.

branches yet and the only birds
to be seen were sparrows, but talk
suddenly turned to such things as
Cardinals, Dodgers, Yanks and
rookies.
The baseball fan was coming out
of hibernation. After a winter that
included snow and more snow and
television that carried pictures of j
tall, lithe young men in brief cloth
ing, it was cheering to hear Diz
Dean cover one of the many
grapefruit League ganies.
With most of the major league
teams in their fourth day of the
season, the last of the so-called ex
perts have picked their favorites
to win the pennants.
In the National League, only
three new faces appear at the
helms of teams.
Bill Rigney, Fred Hutchinson
and Bobby Bragan were named
managers of the New York Giants,
St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh
Pirates respectively. Otherwise,
there wasn't much change in the
appearance of the squads that
finished the 1955 season and those
that were on hand last Tuesday.
Without a doubt, the Brooklyn
Dodgers have the best ballplay
ers on hand. Other than that, the
rest of the teams in the league have
to depend on three or four top
men and they can't be spread over
nine positions at the same time.
Here are the predictions for the
1956 National League pennant race,
champs are still loaded for bear.
1. Brooklyn The defending
They liked the feeling of being on
top and aren't in any hurry to
relinquish that hold.
Manager Walter Alston has a
wealth of pitching talent in spite
of the warnings that the Dodger
pilot sounded early this spring.
Carl Erskine, Bill Loes, Don
Labine, Don Bessent and Karl
Spooner all won more than they
lost in '55.
Even if Newcombe does get mad,
the others can, and have, filled in
very capably.
Roy Campanella is the only man I
that could not be ably replaced
and it's not likely that he will be
out unless some injury should sneak
up.
Even then, he will nrobab v
play.
The only new face in the starting
line-up is Uiat of second baseman
Charley Neal. His defensive abili
ty is supposedly above reproach
and his hitting is rated as fair. If
he can hit better than .249, he
will have it made. Junior Gilliam
and Don Zimmer, alternate second
sackers last year, could not do
any better than that.
2. St. Louis A guess like this
might hurt a promising journalist,
but it probably won't put a Bus.
Ad major out of business.
Labeled as "the best seventh
place team in the league" last
year, the Redbirds have1 some
sleepers that might fool everybody.

squad. Included on the Offutt ros
ter are five players with pro ex
periences. Two of the five, the Charnofsky
twins, Hal and Stan, handle the
reins of the team. Both fellows
are in the New York Yankee
organization. Hal is a shortstop,
Stan a second-baseman.
Baseball fans may remember
them as the twins who played for
the University of Southern Cali
fornia in the College World Series
at Omaha in 1953.
Other members of the Offutt
nine include Charlie Johnson, a
first-baseman in the Brooklyn Dod
ger chain, Joe Patterson, a catcher
and outfielder with the St. Louis
Cardinals and pitcher Al Walker,
who gained his pro experience in
the Mexican and International
League.
Following the baseball tilt, the
Husker golf and tennis teams will
host the Iowa state Cyclones.
Track takes the spotlight at
noon, when the Husker varsity
tangles with the freshmen. This
will be a good chance for NU
followers to see the fine running
of freshman Keith Gardner.
The gym and swimming crews
will climax the days festivities
with an exhibition.
with the return of Wilmer MizeH
and the addition of firemarr EHis
iKnder, the Cards might have the
shot in the arm they have needed.
Don Blasingame is the candidate
j for Rookie-of-theYear, a title Car-
dinal youngsters have won the
past two years. Watch this team.
3. Milwaukee This is the same
squad that was around last year.
Gene Conley, the mainstay of tBe
hurling corps, has been bothered
by a sore arm.
Manager Charlie Grimm needs
Conley in order to be in the run
ning. Wes Covington, a rookie, is the
only new man in the camp that is
of first-team caliber. Too many
holes in the line-up when it comes
to hitting to replace the Dodgers
or even rate in the second place
position.
4. New York Giants Willie
Mays and Al Dark cant play all
over the Polo Grounds. Bill Rij
ney wfll also be depending on many
newcomers to patch holes in the
pitching staff and the infield.
Wes Westrum and Ray Katt,
backstops, batter only .212 and
.215 respectively. :
Johnny Antonelli and Jim Hearn
can't pitch every other day, which
makes things even rougher for
the new manager.
5. Philadelphia Robin Roberts
and Richie Ashbufn don't always
get the help they need from their
teammates to become a first di
vision team. Curt Simmons is about
due, however, and if he comes
around the Phillies might be tough.
Del Ennis' R.BIs are a big help,
(he's had more than 100 the last
four years) but he can't be depend
ed on for everyday power hitting.
6. Cincinnati Lots of power
more than any other team in th
league with the exception of the
Dodgers still won't help Birdie
Tebbets' boys.
Big Ted Kluszewski is a great
asset when he's on speaking terms
with the manager. Gus BeH and
Wally Post, .308 and .309, make a
brilliant two-thirds of an outfield.
! but they could use another helper,
! The pitching staff is dependent
j "Pon Joe Nuxhall and it is doubt-
i ' 11 j. rrea jwuggs lua, wic w
to become a major league pitcher.
7. Chicago This one hurts.
Being a favorite of this writer for
many years doesn't help the Cubs
one bit. Gene Baker and Ernie
Banks are the modern Tinker and
Evers, hut not all the balls hit off
the weak pitching staff will fall
between short and second. In fact,
many will probably clear the fences
that surround Wrigley Field. That
about sums up what manager Stan
Hack has to contend with.
8. Pittsburgh Bobby Bragan
will have to pull something more
spectacular than laying down in
the third base .coaching box after
being thumbed from the game if the
Pirates are to lose their, hold on
the cellar.
