Alumni-Varsity Tilt Highlight Of Annual Event Tomorrow
By BOB WIRZ
Nebraikan Sport Reporter
A crowd of about 15,000 Is ex
pected to witness the seventh an
nual All-Sports Day classic at the
University tomorrow.
. The program starts at 10:00 in
the morning and won't conclude un
til about 6 p.m.
The feature attraction is the re
newal of the varsity-alumni foot
ball game to be played in Memor
. ial Stadium at 2:00. .
This is the day that Cornhusker
fans across the state have been
waiting for since the time that
Pete Elliott was named head
coach at the University.
It will answer a lot of fans
questions. It also will be a day
that will answer a lot of ques
tions for the coaching staff.
Saturday marks the end of five
weeks of spring drills. Some sixty
varsity hopefuls will parade against
the grads.
This is the fourth in a series
of contests between the varsity
and the alumni and the ex-greats
are still looking for win number
one.
The opening contest in 1950 ended
in a 13-13 deadlock, but since then
hte varsity have won the last
three contests.
They won in 1951 by a score of
T-25, in 1952 7-6 and won 16-13 In
1953. The past two years the fea
ture attraction has just been a
intra-squad scrimmage.
The tentative starting eleven for
the varsity includes only three
seniors. They are, LaVerne Tore
ton, guard from Platte Center,
Bob Berguin, Sioux Falls, S. D.,
center and Jack Fleming, Kimball
tackle.
The other eight starters each
have at least two years of varsity
eligibility left.
The starting line is expected to
include Marlin Hilding, left end;
Jerry Peterson, left tackle; Tore
ton left guard; Berguin, center;
Art Klein, right guard, Fleming,
right tackle, and Howard McVay
or Bill Edwards at right end. Ed
wards has been sidelined for the
past week with injuries and may
not be able to play.
The starting backfield is slated
to have George Harshman at quar
terback, Darrell Finkston and Ben-
nie Dillard at halfbacks and Jer
ry Brown at fullback.
Leo George is among the re
cent casualties who will not see
action Saturday. George, from
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., has been show'
ing rapid improvement this spring
since he has been moved from
guard to halfback. He inju: ;d
"hamstring" muscle last week and
is out of action.
Meanwhile the alumni are show.
ing some effort at getting into
shape for the game. Some of the
grads worked out Wednesday and
Thursday and a practice for all
members is planned this after-
noon.
Two members of the alumni,
Vic Schleich 1940-42 and Ted Doyle
1936-37 played in every contest
thus far. Both are expected to par
ticipate again Saturday, but Schleic
indicated that he will not practice
Friday.
He said, "I'm only going to get
these old muscles sore once this
week end."
If the alumni follow their usual
pattern, they will throw a lot of
passes in the contest.
At least 46 ex-Husker greats have
indicated that they will partici
pate. Of these, eight were mem
bers of the 1955 squad which won
six and lost four.
The team lost one of its top mem'
bers Thursday when it learned that
Charlie ' Toogood will be unable
to play because of a business com
Tom Novak and Bob Mullen are
coaching the team.
Some of the alumni who will take
part in the contest include, Verle
Scott, Rex Fischer, Andy Loehr,
John Bordogna, Bob Reynolds,
Bob Wagner, Bob Oberlin, Bob
Smith, and many others.
Besides the football game, six
other Nebraska athletic teems are
slated to take the field.
Jerry Bush's golfers start the
parade at 9:00 with a match
against Iowa State at the Lincoln
Country Club. Warren Christensen
of Nemaha has moved into the top
position for the Huskers. Besides
Christensen, Jack Moore, Herb
Mayer and Nels Jensen will oppose
the Cyclones.

Sports Scratching
By SAM JENSEN
Managing Editor
A pair of twins who belong to the New York Yankees (Don't worry,
mother this means that only their athletic services
are owned by the Yankees) will be a formidable
part of the competition which will face Coach Tony
Sharpe's baseball team Saturday morning.
The Charnofsky twins, Stanley and Harold, will
manage and hold down the middle of the infield for
Offutt Air Base team. The Cardinals and the
Dodgers also have inked (an expression for the
signing of a contract, mother, not fingerprinting)
two members of the Omaha team.
In case you can't make it to the game Saturday
and haven't seen the "diamondmen" in' action yet,
the Husker nine will meet Kansas here in a two-
game series Monday and Tuesday afternoons.
now faces ...
Coach Pete Elliott's team which will meet the aerially minded
Varsity Saturday is not familiar to the sports spectator or to the
writer of this column, but since it is our new coach's first and so
far, his only team, the unfamiliarity is probably nothing to be alarmed
about.
A few of the newer faces include those of Darrel Pinkston and
Bernie Dillard in the backfield, both of whom are freshmen and who
will take up a rather unknown freshman tradition. In past years, a
freshman has stolen the show from under the hip pads of his more
experienced elders. Among those youngsters who have shown sparks
of greatness on the All Sports Day Gridiron are Bob Smith, Rex Fischer
and Don Comstock.
A freshman in the line that should see some action for the first
time is Howard McVay, a 6 foot end who has been showing up well in
spring practice. Guy Sap, another freshman end candidate, is worthy
of mention.
