J Ekwall, Wells,, Doebele Appear For 1st Time:
uskers In Season's, Finale;
Take On Iowa State Cyelones
The Daily Nebraskon
Page 3
This Saturday night, as the Ne
braska Cornhuskers meet the Iowa
State Cyclones, the attending fans
will see the final appearance of
three fine Nebraska athletes. Rex
Ekwall, captain of this year's
cage quintet and holder of a new
individual scoring record for the
chool, will bid the basketball
Coartw Lim-ola Star
Doebele . . . In final game
court goodbye as he plays for the
last time in a University of Nebras
ka uniform.
Going into his final game, Rex
will have scored 861 points in his
playing career. This erased the
mark of 821 set by Jim Buchanan
in 1950-51-'52.
Two other men of the Jerry Bush
squad will also be appearing in
their final Nebraska game. These
are Bill Wells and Dudley Doebele,
two reervists of the cage squad.
For the final game of the season
the Nebraska club will attempt to
down the Iowa State Cclones,
ranked fourteenth in the nation by
basketball polls and led by the stel
lar playing of little Gary Thomp
son who was yesterday named to
the A. P.'s AU-American basket
ball team and to the second five of
the U. P.'s teams.
The highly touted 'little shrimp"
from Roland, Iowa, has led the
Iowa State cagers for the last three
years, and as he appears in final
collegiate basketball game on the
hard court, he will be adding to
the individual State of Iowa scor
ing record set by him this year.
If the Huskers win the game,
they could capture the fourth peg
in the Big Seven Conference. Their
Wednesday night's win over the
Oklahoma Sooners by a score of
64-55 virtually assured them of
not dropping to the cellar position
of the league. A win Saturday night
however, would give them a 5-7
mark to put them one-half game
ahead of Colorado.
If Colorado should lose their last
two games, which is very probable,
the Husker quintet would end the
season with sole ownership of the
fourth position in the league, but
if Colorado loses only one of their
games, then the Buffs and the
Huskers would have to share the
ownership of the fourth peg.
Iowa State with a 16-6 overall
won-loss record has virtually as
sured herself of third rung of the
loop ladder while Kansas leads the
conference with a 10-1 mark. Kan
sas State has established itself in
the second place of the league as
they finished their last game of
the season with an 8-4 loop mark

Farrell In First Year At Helm:
Cleveland Picked For Third Position;

Rex Ekwall, agile bushman
scoring ace, will be appearing
in the final game of his Nebras
ka basketball career here Satur
day night when the Husker
cagers take on the Iowa State
Cyclones. Rex will be adding to
his new individual Nebraska
scoring record as he plays to
morrow night.
Cleveland fans are looking for
ward to another great baseball
season in 1957 but they do not know
quite what to expect from their
Indians. Gone from last years
second place squad are third base
man Al Rosen and 20-year man
Bob Feller. Also, the Indians have
a new manager in Kirby Farrell
who is replacing the veteran Al
Lopei.
Farrell will be trying his first
major league managerial job after
having much success in the minor
leagues. Last season he was at
the helm in Indianapolis. The little
Indians came on great at the close
of the season to take the Ameri
can Association title.
Who will play third base and
who wil be the third out-fielder are
just a couple of Farrell's major
problems. At third he could have
Rudy Regalado, George Strickland,
Al Smith, Larry Raines or some
one else. Regaldo hasnt as yet
signed his contract.
Strickland is a veteran with a
low batting average. Farrell pre
fers to have Smith in the outfield
and Raines is a rookie second base
man or shortstop by trade.
Rookie Colavito and Smith are
presently scheduled to start the
season in the outfield. Other candi
dates here are Jim Busby, Joe Caf
fie, Gene Woodling and Roger Mar
is. Busby and Woodling are both

Norman, Oklahoma will be the
scene of the main Big Seven acti
vity this weekend as both the
swimming and wrestling cham
pionship meets will take place
there.
Trying for repeat wins in both
tournaments will be Oklahoma who
ran away with both meets last
year.
In wrestling it appears that OU
will have little trouble winning
again as they boast a perfect rec
ord for the season.
Top man for the Sooners is Dan
ny Hodge who has yet to lose a
collegiate wrestling match. This
season he has pinned every foe he
has faced. Wrestling at 177 lbs.,
Hodge will probably have his
toughest match from last years
Big Seven champion at 167 lbs.
from Iowa State, Frank Powell.
Another Sooner, Bobby Lyons
will be the man to beat in the
130 lb. class. Lyons was Big Seven
champ last year and 1955-56 NCAA
runner up. Dick Delgado and Lee
Young round out the Oklahoma re
turning Big Seven champions. Del
gado wrestles at 123 while Young
is in the 157 lb. class.
Iowa State will probably offer
the Sooners their roughest compe
tition of the meet as they have
several returning champs and fine
wrestlers. Dean Corner in the 137
lb. class should repeat in that
weight. Corner, an Omaha prod
uct, has an excellent record this
season and is one of Iowa State's
best wrestlers of all time.
Ron Gray, undefeated sopho
more will is expected to give
Lyons his main opposition.
" Cornhuskers who will be trying
to break the Iowa State-Oklahoma
monopoly are Gil Nielson, 123,
Ken McKee 130, Gail Baum, 137,
Norlin Cooper, 147, John Ander
son, 157, Bill LaFleur, 167, Jack
B r y a n s, 177, and Dan Brand
heavyweight.
Top challenger for Oklahoma in
the swimming meet should also be
Iowa State. The Staters have beat
en Colorado and Nebraska this
year and appear to have their
strongest swimming team in a
good many years. Heading the Cy
clones are captains Ron Mlnarik
and Dale Wassmuth. Mlnarik is a
master at the 200 yard breast
stroke and butterfly while Wass
muth is one of the top divers in
the Big Seven. Another top Cy
clone is Al Maris who is a 100
freestyle specialist.
Nebraska should also offer some
top competition, especially in the
diving event, won last year by
husker Gene Cotter. Cotter will be
back again along with Bill Tagney
who has beaten Cotter six times
this year. Carl Bodensteiner and
Bill North in the 220 and 440 yard
freestyles might score for the
Huskers along with Charlie Arizu- i
mi in the backstroke and Fritz!
Helmsdoerfer in the butterfly and j
breast stroke. j
Coloado, who beat Nebaska
ealier in the year have several
top contenders. Gordon Treely will
be their main hope having several
fine times in the 220 and 440 yard
freestyles. Sophomore Aaron Bod in
could score in the 200 yd. backstroke.

veterans who didn't impress the
brass last year. Caffie is up from
Buffalo and Maris is an outstand
ing prospect from Indianapolis.
Last season the southpaw hit .293
and drove in 75 RBIs.
The remainder of the infield will
probably see Vic Wert at first;
Bobby Avila at second; and the
holdout Chico Carrasquel at short.
Raines could see action at second.
Jim Hegan again will start be
hind the plate and will probably
play in 100 or more games. The
veteran, in addition to his playing,
will help coach the youngsters this
year. Hal Naragon and Earl Aver
ill will back him up.
With these problems in mind the
pitching staff still remains as the
number one question mark. Early
Wynn and Bob Lemon each won
twenty games again last season
as did young Herb Score, but the
two masters aren't getting any
younger. The major league's only
two active 200 game winners are
37 and 36 respectively. If they hold
out along with Mike Carcia the
team will have another good year.
Score should win twenty if he
does not have arm trouble.

What's it like to be
AM IBM SALESMAN
Selling to management is perhaps the best training for management, and
it's the reason Gene McGrew joined ISM. Today, he possesses a
thorough practical Business Administration education, responsibility, on
excellent income all at age 27. Read about an unusual career.
You're CJene McGrew . . , high school
footballer and class officer. You won
scholarship and went through Prince
ton in the top third of your class . . .
managed varsity track . . . commanded
an artillery battery in Korea . . .
"When you put a lot of preparation in
to your career," Gene McGrew feels,
"you should expect a lot of opportunity t
in return."
Meets ISM representative
Out of the Army in 1953, Gene met
an IBM representative. It sounded
like opportunity. A few interviews
later, Gene was sure. Although sales
was only one of the many jobs he felt
he could handle, this kind of selling
(IBM machines are as much an idea
as a product) promised to occupy'
every talent he possessed. Besides,
he's learned that "no other form of
training produces so many top lust
jness managers." .
Makes first sale
Gene's first sale, to a bank, required
thorough study; consultations; a writ
ten recommendation. The climax
came, Gene remembers, when he
submitted his analysis to the vice
president and received that gentle
man's signature.

V.
Then began a 13 months' training
program marked by merit salary in
creases. First 3 months' schooling
and observing operations in Pitts
burgh (Gene's hometown). Next 2
months' studying the applications of
IBM's electronic data proceeds ma
chines in business, science, govern
ment, and defense. Followed by 7
months' practical training in the field,
with customer contact. Followed by
IBM's famous course in selling meth
ods. Finally, assignment to a sales
territory near Pittsburgh, responsible
for about 14 companies and their ex
ecutives who used IBM equipment,
and a dozen or so more who were
logical prospects for it.
OfecvMina cMlraian imtaftafiva
Gene's latest sale was to a large
industrial corporation. He's now pre
paring this customer for the installa
tion of an IBM electronic system
designed to simplify financial pro
cedure; inventory and other systems
problems. At27, Gene finds mmseh top
man on an important account. He's
educator, salesman, administrator.
How would Gene define selling?
"We feel the best way to sell is to be
able to consult. The best way to con
sult is to know something of value
your customer doesn't. IBM's 'some
thing of value is profit through
automation.
Gene's thoughts en competition:
"The entire Office Machine Industry
feels the lead pencil is the biggest
competitor. You'vs no idea how many
time-consuming clerical jobs can be
mechanized, thus freeing people for
important, creative jobs. IBM's suc
cess in the field is due to service,
knowledge, 'know-bow'."
Dees Gene find his youth
a handicap?
"It's what you know not how old
you are that counts. I deal with
executives twice my age on a basis of
'equality, because they respect my
training and my business judgment.
Future wide open
"I'm getting married soon, and I wai
amazed to realize how much security
IBM's growth (sales have doubled on
the average every five years since
1930) and benefits represent. But I
think my real security lies in the
chance to use my own ability fully
and freely. There are nearly 200
Branch Managerships, 15 District
Managerships and executive positions
in 5 other divisions ahead of me. IBM
is introducing new machines, systems
and concepts so fast that, every Mon
day, we have a new idea meeting
just to keep up."
IBM hopes this message will give
you some idea of what it's like to be a
salesman at IBM. There are equal
opportunities for E.E.'s, I.E.'s,
M.E.'s, physicists, mathematicians,
and Liberal Arts majors in IBM's
