Intramural Race Nears End,
Championship Play This Week
By DEL RASSMUSSEN
Staff Writer
The University Intramural Bas
ketball Tourney hit a torrid pace
Monday night as the number of
remaining competing teams rap
idly depleted.
Some of the teams who ad
vanced in thier round of contests
are the Hitchcock House of Sel
leck Quad as they downed the
cagers of Gus I 44-22. Thus the
men of that cage quintet earned
the right to play the men of Man
att B squad as they downed The
MacLean B boys by a score of
86-25. The winner of the game be
houses will gain the title of Sel
leck B Champs of this basketball
year.
In the fraternity class V champ
ionship game, will be the winner
of the Alpha Tau Omega-Alpha
Gamma Rho gme. The "Tau's"
won thier berth in the champion
ship game by edging Beta Theta
Pi 18-16. The Alpha Gamma Rho
squad N gained their berth in the
their game with the Phi Gam's
B team 29-16. The ATO's, gunned
by Tom Olson and Max Witt
throughout the season, will meet
The Selleck B Champs for the All
University B championship Fri
day at 5:20 p.m. If they can get
by the Alpha Gamma Rho's.
Four teams are vying for the
Independents Championship of the
campus. The Ag Vets walloped
the Presby House five 45-19 to gain
tne right to challenge the New
man Club to the white Independ
ent Championship. The Newman
Club boys downed the Ag Huskers
in their previous tournament out
ing. The A Chemists dropped the
Navy ROTC quintet, 44-24, to en
hance their chances for winning
the tourney while the Dental Col
lege cagers shackled the boys of
Phi Epsilon Kappa 30-21. Thus these
two winners of their respective
games will tussle Thursday at 5:20
on the Varsity Court to determine
the winner of the Independents Con
ference. Turning to the freshman side of
the tournament we find the Sigma
Phi Epsilon C team battling the
Alpha Tau Omega C team for the

In fact, the winter sports season
has ended without Husker athletes
winning any Big Seven titles ex
cept for one. that is.
One important member of the
Kebraska basketball team has
sewed up a loop championship.
The Husker winner is student
manager Lloyd Castner and the
championship is the free throw
title among conference managers.
Castner sewed up the title in
tight-knit battle with Oklahoma
University's manager at the meet
ing of the Oklahoma and Nebraska
teams last Wednesday. He hit nine
of ten attempts at the free-throw
line while the Oklahoma managre
got eight out of ten.
This rives Castner a clean sweep
In the conference in the student
managerial ranks and gives NU
its first title since the Huskers
tied for the league crown in 1949.
Castner is a senior in the col
lege of Business Administration

quarter bid and the game ended
62-61 to place themselves in the
cellar position of the Big Seven for
their third consecutive year.
With three minutes remaining the

Unanimous Vote
Two unanimous choices lead the
United Press 1957 All-Big Seven
Conference basketball team. Wilt
(the Stilt) Chamberlain of Kansas
University and Gary Thompson of
Iowa State were selected on all of
the ballots.
Thompson is a repeat selection
from last season. The 5-10 guard
finished a great career last Satur
day when Nebraska upset Iowa
State.
Chamberlain is the brilliant
seven foot sophomore from Phila
delphia, Pennsylvania. He lead his
Kansas teammates to the Big
Seven title. Chamberlain and his
mates open their NCAA play on
Friday.
Other selections were Bob Hoo
ter, Jack Parr and Lionel Smith.
Boozer from Kansas State helped
Tex Winter's crew to the runner
up conference spot. He was tlyrd
in balloting. Boozer is a native of
Omaha, Nebraska.
Parr, also from K-State is a 6-9
junior. Smith was the Missouri
Tiger scoring leader.
On the second team are: Mau
rice King and Gene Slston, Kan
sas; Joe King, Oklahoma; Dave
Mowbray, Colorado; and Lyk
Frahm, Iowa State.
Crawford Relaxed
During the Iowa State-Kansas
State basketball gme a few weeks
ago, Iowa State's big forward,
John Crawford, stepped up to the
free throw line grinning widely
and sank two free throws to put
Iowa State ahead by one point.
Questioned after the game as to
why be had been smiling at such
a crucial point in the game, Craw
ford replied, "The coach told me
to relax and I was showing him I
was.

Guest Editor
Bob Martel, the man who usual
ly does this, is in Student Health
with a mild case of the flue. After
I have been guest Sport Editor
for only one day, I think he is
there for a short vacation from the
hectic afternoon chase of the Daily
Nebraskan sports desk.
The state basketball tournament
is going to explode onto the cam
pus scene this Thursday with its
cowbells, basedrums, cheerleaders,
pep bands, racous rooters and
general pandamonium. I always
enjoy the state tournament, as
much for the characters one sees
there v as for the games them
selves. There is always the faithful,
middle aged fan with a loud cow
bell Who lives every moment of
action with the boys on the court
as though he were out there with
them. Perhaps he will do a little
second guessing after the game,
if his team looses, but he always
thinks "they were the best team
on the floor if they'd had the
breaks."
Then there is the silent tjppler
who always manages to slip a
bottle past the guards. I sat behind
one such gentleman last year.
After several sips from his panther
water, the fellow put his flask
back into his pocket upside down.
The next time his team scored he
leaped to his feet while liquor
poured on his pants leg.
And occasionally you find a
quiet, lonesome looking gentleman
sitting with his head in his hands
watching the proceedings glumly.
If asked which team is bis, the
fan will answer, "Oh, neither one.
My home town got. beat out in the
regionals and I just came down to
watch how the team that beat us
did."
Dewn front the sports writers
sit. They never seem to be watch
ing the game (and judging from
Gregg McBride's luck picking the
tournament teams, maybe they're
not), but they always have plenty
to say about it. Someone once
said about sports writers, "An
All-American is a tenth ability and
two tenths a good sportswriter who
knows him well."
Coaches are also fun to watch.
There is the demonstrative type,
like Jerry Bush or Tex Winter who
do everything but go out and play
with their team. Some coaches
however, never get excited. Coach
Harold Maciewjki of Wayne High
School is an example of this kind.
Last year Wayne was playing
Hebron for the state Class B title
when a referee made a question
able call on Larry Hoefeldt, the
Wayne star. Maciewjki turned red,
took a deep breath, half rose and
then turned to his assistant coach
with a sigh. "Pretty close call
wasn t it?" he said mildly.
And finally there are the play
ers themselves. They have endured
tremendous pressure, the pressure
of the basketball season, for four
months. When they win or loose,
they are sometimes a little emo
tional. The heartwarming scene of
a cheer leader hugging her husky
hero after a victory is familiar,
but the sports pages never show
the loosing team as they drag off
the floor, infinitly more tired than
the winners.

, Although they do not have one
outstanding department the Wash'
ing Senators may climb one posi
tion in the American League pen
nant race this year. Last season
the Nats were seventh behind Bal
timore. This season the two teams
will probably just swap positions,
The outfield and catching posts
show the most promise for the
new year. Jim Lemon and Roy
Sievers look set for two of the
outer garden positions. Lemon
last year in his second season in
the big top hit .271 and batted in
96 runs. However, he struck out
for a record 138 times. Lemon
claims the he struck out several
times to keep the record.
Sievers hit only .253 but had 29
home runs and 95 RBI s. At 30 he
could still improve.
The third spot will probably go
to either Dorrel Herzog or Neil
Chrisley. Herzog hit .245 in his
rookie year but got only 35 runs
across the plate. Chrisley is the
rookie up from Louisville where he
hit .298 and walloped 24 pitches
out of the park. Chrisley was once
the property of the Boston Red
Sox.
Karl Olson, Carlos Paula, and
Dick Tettelback also are around.
Clint Courtney and Ed FitzGer
ald both hit over .300 last season
while sharinz the catchine job with
Louis Berberet. The bespectacled
Courtney will again have the No.
1 job.
The infield is ouite a mass of
confusion. Pete Runnels who did
a sumrisinelv ffood Job last season
will again be at first. Runnels hit
.310 in 146 srames. Herb Flews
leads the group at second base
and Eddie Yost probably will go at
third.
Plews is a one-time Yankee farm
hand. Yost, who recently was
named American League player
representative, is in his eleventh
season with the Nats.
Jerrv Snvder and Jose Valdi-
vielso lead the list of candidates at
shortstop. Snyder was out most of

The antiquated "Corny Coaches"
edged the "Clumsy Colonels" in
hilarious action at the NU coliseum
last night 38-34. It was the show
down of a "grudge" game inspired
when University of Nebraska ath
letic director, Bill Orwig accused
the colonels at Lincoln AFB of be
ing "too fat and out of shape."
The coliseum was packed to see

and Valdivielso managed to hit
only a weak .236.
Ex-bonus baby Harmon Kille
brew could win a spot on the in
field. The young Idaho lad wal
loped the .ball at a .325 clip at
Charlotte last season. He has good
power and may make the grade
this try or manger Charlie Dressen
may choose to give him one more
year of seasoning.
The pitching problem also gives
Dressen a headache. Last year
only Pedro Ramos (12-10) and
Chuck Stobbs (15-15) of the regu
lars could break even. They will
be starters again this season with
Camilo Pascual and one man yet
unnamed. Pascual (6-18) was given
a $1,000 raise this season despite
his terrible record. The manage
ment hopes the pay boost will
help his confidence enough to do
a good hill job. Other mound
hopefuls include: Ted Abernathy,
Bob Chakales, Truman Clevenger,
Hal Griggs, Dean Stone, and Bob
Wiesler.
. Ptichers Oscar Chinique, Alex
Gordey, and Dick. Hyde top the
rookie pitchers. Chinique adds an
other Cuban to the Washington
roster. Gordey had only an aver
age 8-8 season last year with Chat
tanooga and Hyde is a relief spe
cialist from the same team. Lyle
Luttrell a shortstop and Julio
Becquer have a chance to make
the squad as utility men. Becquer
is a first baseman and is from
Cuba.
