In past years with Bill Glassford at the helm each contest has found a different fellow in the lead. Elliott has decided that season co captains are better. Elliott has chosen a pair of guards and a center for this honor. The guards La Verne Torczon and Jim Murphy are both Nebraskan's but center Bob Berguin hails from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. All three are seniors. Torczon is going for his third letter as a Husker. La Verne start ed his football career at Platte Center where he became an all stater in six-man football. Then he entered Nebraska in 1953 and won his first varsity letter at cen ter in 1954. Last year Torczon was shifted to tackle and he won his second letter playing 34fi minutes of football. He also was honored on several All-Big Seven teams. One of the highlights of his ca reer was when he recovered a fumble in 'the air and scored against Iowa State as a sopho more. Murphy also was an outstand ing high school athlete winning three football letters and one in track. He won All-State honors as a senior in 1952. Higgenbottom Schedules Nine Intramural Fall Sports For Athletically-Minded Men By STAN WIDMAN Staff Sports Reporters Intramural sports are again get ting off to an early start with Friday as the first date for en tries to be in. This year Ed Hig genbothom and his staff have lined up nine sports for the fall season. The eaily starters are football, with entry date set at Friday, golf, with qualifying days set for Saturday and Sunday, water-basketball, both shallow and deep, September 25 and bowling Septem ber 29. Due to the fact the football fields at Ag campus are going to be reseeded this year, a radical change is going to be made in the intramural football set up. Only the women's PE fields will be available for play which means fewer games are going to be played this year. This allows only one team from each house, co-op and dorm to participate in the pro gram. The teams will be divided into four divisions with the fra ternities in the first two; Sellec Quad in the third and all inde pendents in the fourth. All divisions will be double elimination meaning that as soon as a team loses two games it is forced out of the tournament. When winners are decided in each of the four divisions they will meet to decide the grand champion. Winners will receive a trophy. Ed Higgenbottom expresses his regret that the football league is forced to resort to this set up but due to the condition of the Ag football fields there is no way out. The fields will be ready for next year's program and the league is expected to resume to normalcy. Mr. Higgenbottom promises Soph Under Knife Dick Klingaman, 6 foot 4, 232 pound sophomore from Mitchell, S.D. underwent surgery Monday morning on his knee which was in jured in Saturday's scrimmage. Klingaman was sidelined by a crushing block - thrown by Leo George. He will be out for the re mainder of the season. Elliott praised the Dokatan's work Monday when he said, "While Dick hasn't been on the highest teams, no one has been more of a contribution to the team. He never ' takes a loafing step. With his at titude and desire to get better he Is going to play for the University aometime in the future." plenty of other intramural action throughout the year which he says, "should provide at least one sport for every boy on the camp us." In all 21 sports are covered in his intramural program, recog nized by many as one of the finest intramural programs in the coun try. Everything from ping-pong to cross-country running is being offered this year with awards to the winners in all sports. A special feature to watch is water-basketball which is being inaugrated this year. Both shal low and deep water-basketball is is going to be played to allow for all boys, whether they are expert swimmers or not, to participate. Another new feature to the intra mural program will be a fall track and field meet for those year around track enthusiasts. Compe tition will be offered in a large variety of events and should show the University some of our future track and field stars. All men but varsity letter win ners will be eligibile to compete in this meet. It will be held Octo ber 1 with entries to be taken on the field before each event. Golf will be held at Pioneer Golf Course Saturday and Sun day. All players who plan to par ticipate in the tourney will pay their own green fee between Wednesday and Friday. After qualifying all men will be put in flights of eight and 16 men to begin match play. Fall tennis singles entries are due Monday. Only singles is go ing to be played this fall due to the absence Tof enough courts and cooler weather setting in. Bowling entries are due at the Lincoln Bowling Alleys not later than Noon September 29. Two di visions will be in competition if enough teams are entered.
