Ekwall, Cotter Honored:
Top Athletes Chosen
'Stars Of Semester'
By BOB WIRZ
Staff Sports Writer
Rex Ekwall, basketball and
baseball star, and Gene Cotter,
Big Seven diving champion have
been selected by the Nebraskan
as sports "Stars of the Semester."
Ekwall was the leader of Jerry
Bush's Cornhusker basketball
squad the past winter. He played
the post position and was the
squad's leading scorer and re
bounder. The 6 4" Holmesville junior,
was selected as a member of the
All-Big Seven team at the end of
the season. This shows how dan
gerous and well thought of that
he was around the conference.
Also during his sophomore sea
son Rex was a big sparkplug on
the team. Next season Bush plans
on the big guy to lead his squad
in their conquest for the league
title.
Ekwall averaged about a dozen
rebounds per game against the
taller opposition.
Bush only has one thing against
Ekwall's basketball playing and
that is that Rex doesn't shoot
enough. n,--.

Ekwall also is a member of the
University baseball team this
spring. He broke into the lineup
right after the southern swing and
his batting power has helped Tony
Sharpe s crew a lot in several of
their recent games. The modest
Ekwall had his best day at Kan
sas State when he hit four for five.
Cotter also is a junior and Is a
Lincoln product. He was one of
Hollie Lepley's top men on the
swimming team and is Nebraska's
only individual Big Seven cham
pion of the 1955-56 year.
Cotter won the diving champion
ship. He was runner up in this
event in 1953, his sophomore year.
Gene was undefeated through
out the entire campaign which
shows how dependable he was to
the squad.
Next season Cotter and several
other experienced hands should
give Nebraska a real fine swim
ming team which could easily win
the conference crown.
These two men along with sev
eral others have given many
thrills to Cornhusker fans this past
winter and spring.

Christian Athletes Plan
Summer Conference
A couple of weeks ago, two repre
sentatives of the Fellowship of
Christian Athletes were on the
campus.
They didn't arrive to the accom
paniment of any brass bands nor
were the F.C.A. members given
much advanced publicity. But the
sporting world and others, have
taken notice of this new move
ment.
Jack Robinson and Deacon Dan
Towler have been barnstorming
the country this winter spreading
the gospel so to speak.
Purpose
The purpose of this group as
stated in their brochure is "to
make more real and vital in the
individual life of the athlete the
challenge of following Christ." To
make this objective more concrete
the F.C.A. is planning a summer
conference for college and high
school athletes and coaches. They
have even arranged to have a few
sports writers at the conference.
It will be held in Estes Park,
from the 19 to the 23 of August.
Briefly, the F.C.A. is a non-profit,
non-denominational organization of
Christian athletes, present and for
mer, lay and clergy, who are gen
uinely concerned over the fact that
more than 60 per cent of American
youth today receive no formal re
ligious training. Such men as Doak
Walker, Donn Moomaw, Kyle Rote,
Adrian Burk, George Kell, Carl
Erskine, Bob Davenport, Pepper
Martin and Dean Cromwell are
associated with this movement.

Big Seven
Champion
At Stake
By BOB MARTEL
Staff Sports Writer
The University of Nebraska
baseball squad will have to couple
two wins over Iowa State and an
assist from Kansas and Colorado
if they are to win the Big Seven
title this season.
The Huskers are currently tied
for third place with Iowa State.
Oklahoma leads the league with
Missouri second.
Coach Tony Sharpe will probably
rely on Dick Geier and Willie
Greenlaw to set the Cyclones
down.
Don Brown, Norm Coufal and
Al Karle hit well against Mis
souri last weekend, and should
form the nucleus of the Husker at
tack. Kansas will oppose Missouri and
Colorado will meet Oklahoma this
veek. Double wins by the former
and a Nebraska dominence of Iowa
State would bring the champion
ship to Lincoln.
Week's Schedule
Monday Missouri at Kansas
Tuesday Missouri at Kansas
Friday Colorado at Oklahoma
Nebraska at Iowa State
Saturday Colorado at Oklahoma
Nebraska at Iowa State
Results
Monday Kansas 10, Missouri 7.
Faculty Bowling Ends:
AAanatt, Phi Psis Win
To Enter Playoffs
Manatt House scored nine runs
the first inning against MacLean
and then held on for a 15-9 victory
in a. loosely played contest. The
win made Manatt champions of
the Selleck league and earned
them the right to meet Phi Epsi
lon Kappa, independent champion,
in today's All University playoffs.
Jim Arwood pitched steady, four
hit ball, but was hampered by the
errors of his Manatt teammates.
Leo George sparked Manatt with
his base- running antics.
The Fraternity A league cham
pion is Phi Kappa Psi. The Phi
Psis took a 5-0 win from Phi
Gamma Delta Monday and then
repeated by forfeit Tuesday. The
Phi Psis meet Alpha Gamma Rho
in the playoffs today.
