P F"doy', March 22, 1957 The Daily Nebraskon Page 3 Hitchcock Places Two: Buchtel Leads All Star Voting For Selleck B League Team By STAN WIDMAN Staff Sports Writer The Class, B. Selleck league had an abundance of material for this year's version of their all-league team aa evidenced by the close- , f- &,,'! s W ';' lwiISW.l!ii Courtesy Sunday Journal and Star DUANE BUCHTEL ness of the balloting and the num ber of players Tgiven mention. . Just 'as Hitchcock took league laurels during the regular season and in the playoffs, they lead in al 1- state, placing two on the first team and one on the sec ond Other houses placing men on the first team are Bessy, Mac Clean and Manatt. Leading the all-stars in ballot 'ng was Duane Buchtel of Manatt house. Following in order were Gary Spear, Hitchcock House, Marshall Cook, Hitchcock, Ernie English, Bessy, and Don Becker, MacLean. Buchtel was. the 1955 Nebraska Athlete ot the year and a Hiisk ker football player. Although play ing for the fourth place Manatter's, bis playmaking produced many a close game for his house. Gary Spear was one of the standouts on the fine Hitchcock team which swept league honors. Gary, a 57" pepperpot guard had roe of the best outside shots in the league as well as being its top hustler His s c o r i ng was also among the leaders. Another Hitchcock man, Marsh all Cook was also one of the key factors in the House's success. March was among the taller men in the league which was all to H tchcocks advantage as Cook was the leagues top rebounder and center. He also found time to put quite a few points through tne hoop. ... Ernie English of Bessy House earned the fourth position on the first team by virtue of his excel lent shooting and top rebounding. Ernie is a former Husker foot baller and all-state player from Louis ana. Don Becker was the .team lead er for the third place MacLean quintet and placed fifth on the nil-star balloting. Don kept hi team in constant contention through his shooting and play making Men picked for the Selleck B and second team include Marv Miller, Hitchcock, Bob Lammel Canfield,; Don Koch, Gus I; Wayne Wessel Gus I and Les Kampe Manatt. Those receiving honorable men tion were Gary Engel, Canfield Ken Bowers, Manatt; Don Huwalt Manatt and Harry Steele Canfield! . This season was an exciting one in the league asthree teams re mained in contention up to the tinal week. Hitchcock led all the way with Bessey on its heels. With two games to go, Bessy tied Hitchcock each hav ing a 6-2 record but they lost their chance losing in the next game to let Hitchcock take the title. MacLean finished two game's back in the pack with a 6-4 per formance. Manatt whichf was mired in last place for almost the entire sea son rallied at the end to finish fourth. They continued this top play in the tournament almost beating Hitchcock who edged the Manatter's 31-28. 1957 Selleck B All Star Team First Team Second Team Duane Buchtel ManattBob Lammel P Canfield Marshall Cook .'.

Tony Sharpe, Nebraska diamond men tor, is faced with replacing four of last year's key men. Gone from the squad are pitch ers Willie Greenlaw and Dick Geier, third baseman Don Brown and shortstop Norm Coufal. Brown, leading hitter for the Kuskers last season with a mark of .446 graduated along with Coufal who hit .338. Greenlaw, who played the outfield when not pitching, hit .311. So, the balance of team power and overall hitting is lost. Frank Nappi of football fame, seems to have cinched the vacant third base job, while Gil Dunne is the leading candidate for Coufal's position. The top three moundmen thus far are Charles Ziegenbein, Roger Bottoroff and Dwight Siebler. Gene Torczon and Bob Gleason are also expected to see plenty of hill ac tion. Sharpe has eight returning let termen with which to form the nucleus of his club. They are: Al Karle, second basemen; John Bet deck, first baseman; Gary Reimers, outfielder; Larry Lewis, outfielder; Jim Kane, catch er; Don Erway, catcher; Bottorf and Ziegenbein. A" change in Big Seven schedul ing calls for a single game on Friday and doubleheaders on Sat urday. The first Conference clash for the Huskers will be on April 12 when they meet Kansas State here in Lincoln. " Hacker, Meyer May Help: led legs Look Good; AT QedBeUer Pitching By BOB.WIRZ Staff Sports Writer Cincinnati's success in the Na tional League in 1957 depends on how the pitching staff develops for Manager Birdie Tebbetts. Last season the squad had everything but a dependable staff of hurlers and the problem remained the same as spring training opened March 1. Hal Jeffcoat and Brooks Law rence top the list of men back from last year. Jeffcoat (8-2) pitched well in the final weeks of play after starting slowly last season. He ex-outfielder hopes to retain this form when the new campaign gets under way. Lawrence, a ex-Cardinal, had a 19-10 record last season. The first 13 victories were won before the big guy lost. Tebbetts will select two or three more starters from Tom Acker, Art Fowler, Don Gross, Joe Nux before the big guy suffered a loss, hall, Warren Hacket and R u s s Meyer. Acker had an impressive 2.38 ERA with the Reds last year. Eeing only .in his second big league season, Acker might im prove his 4-3 record considerably. Gross is up from Havana where fie posted a 1.67 ERA. The crafty southpaw also won three straight for Cincinnati in late season with 1.96 mark. Nuxhall, another of the squads ix lefthanders, won 13 and lost 11 last season. He was hot at times and then would turn cold. Hacker and Meyer are ex-Chi cago Cubs. Hacker- was acquired after the 1956 season was over. His 3-13 mark with the lowly Cubs doesn't look too good but Hacker had a operation during the winter on a foot and his work could im prove. Hersh Freeman will again head the Redleg bullpen staff. Freeman threw his weight around very well last season in posting a 14-5 record. Also trying to make the staff are Pat Scantlebury, Jerry Da vis, John Brechin, Charley Rabe, .end John Oldham. . This is the make or break de partment for Cincinnati It will be i case of Cincinnati moving, just as the hurlers perform. Good per formances might mean a pennant. It looks like the Reds nay need more hurling than tfcey have now in order to become champs. Third place is a more likely finishing position. The catching department is well fortified. Ed Bailey and Smokey Burgess will do most of the work. Should Burgess be traded off for a pitcher, youngster. Don Pavle tich could probably move into the No. 2 position. The infield is also set with the exception of third base. Ted Klus zewski will be back at first base. Unless he has more hip trouble, Kluszewski should be ready for an other good year. He hit .302 last year. Once again Johnny Temple and Roy McMillan will form perhaps the best keystone combination in the senior circuit or in all base ball. They missed a combined total of four games last season. Both are All-Star performers. Don Hoak or Alex Grammas will play third. Grammas was sta tioned at the hot corner the final months of last jeason . and was good defensively, but is a weak hitter. Hoak, also acquired from Chicago, may win the job He hit only .215 last season although ca pable of doing much better Rocky 'Bridges, George Crowe end bonus baby Bobby Henrich will provide utility strength Power will again be the No. 1 feature in the outfield. Gus Bell, Wally Post, and Frank Robinson will probably be the staners This trio socked 103 homers last year. Bob Thurman, Pete Whisenant, Jerry Lynch and Art Schult are bidding for the remaining positions. y ft Courtesy Sunday Journal and Star TONY SHARPE Kansas, North Carolina NCAA Tourney Favorites The Kansas Jayhawkers and the North ' Carolina Tarheels stand as favorites to meet each other In the finals of the big NCAA meet in Kansas City this weekend.

Williams To NU Virgil Williams, of Omaha North High School revealed Wednesday that he planned to attend the Uni versity next fall. Williams was the highest scorer in the history of the tough inter city league in Omaha and an All State choice. He said that 12 or 13 other schools had contacted him and asked him to enroll, including Kansas and Iowa State of the Big Seven and Purdue and Iowa of the Big Ten. Williams said he chose Nebraska because he liked the friendly At mosphere of the campus and felt he would be more at home at the University. iEMWZ VIRGINIA " EDMOND' MAVfLYDDirM .alan mmv uunitii MOD v? V ADDED tHASLNQ THE SUN" 11 V; i '"What's it like to be A PHYSICIST AT IBM?" Fiva years ago, college senior Nick Himmtr asked himself this question. Today, as Administrative Assistant to the Quality Control manager, Nick reviews his experience at IBM and gives soma pointers that may bo helpful to you in taking the first, most important step in your career a a physieUi. "I was tremendously impressed;" says Nick, "by my first plant tour. When ' you go throughvthe facilities meet the men and get an idea of the prob lems they handle you can't help but become interested. Add the friendly, informal work atmosphere, and you know right off the bat these people have a story to tell." Nick came to IBM in 1951 with a B.S. in physics. He started as a Tech nical Engineer in Test Equipment Engineeriifg working on an analog bombing system. When that project moved from the Endicott to the Poughkeepsie plant, Nick followed it, becoming first an Associate Engineer, then a Project Engineer. As the lat- tion of alloys ... or of the properties of metals, such as the resistivity of germanium. Then, there are the im portant 'analysis of failure' and reliability studies, in which you seek to determine, for example, the 'life i T -! H Heading up Quality EnginMring ter, he worked on IBM's first transis torized electronic computer the 608. By November, '55, Nick was head ing up Quality Engineering in the Quality Control Division of the Poughkeepsie plant. Recently pro moted to Administrative Assistant to the Quality Control manager, Mick now concerns himself with the funda mental operations and policies of this 450-man division. Quality Control is responsible for the performance of IBM's vast array of business ma chinesfrom simple sorters and punches to the "electronic brains." What an IBM physicist does "The problems of Quality Contro in this business are endless," 'Nick reports, "and fascinating to the phys icist. There's process control of the manufacture of components such as transistors and cores ... of the con tents of a gas . . . of the concentricity of an etch solution ... of the diffrac- Prablamt fatcinoHng ! rh phyt Iciil expectancy' of a device, the mean time between failures, or perhaps which step in a process has the great est effect on the equipment involved. You may be asked to control the deposit of glass on X-ray tubes "to avoid spillover, or microscopic spot ting. Or you may be dealing with arc-suppression, or gaseous electron ics, the grass roots of instrumentation ; or in the estimation of tolerances, or tration and concentricity of colloidal solutions?" "Present a job in terms of actual problems," believes Nick, "and you'll get the man's interest for it's his career and his future that have top priority." How about further study? Nick has taken full advantage of IBM's extensive educational facilities! to get ahead at IBM. He took at least one course each semester on subjects within his immediate' work area courses on digital and analog com puters and on their components such as cores and transistors. He found time to take management courses at well. "If you want opportunity for study," Nick says, "IBM will providi all you want." in i.i,iww,mi jPniiiiii ... ... -a,. Ixtantiv educational facilities in correlation coefficients that is, in physically sound numbers." Nick has been instrumental in encouraging many college physics majors to come to IBM. "I find they're interested in questions like these," he says: "How would you go about determining the 'life' of elec trons in transition from the valence to the conduction band?" Or, in the manufacture of magnetic inks, "How can the grain size of the iron content be controlled ... or its viscosity regu lated over wide temperature ranges? How would you control the concen- Promotion almaet inevitable Asked about opportunities for ad vancement at IBM, Nick says, "The situation could hardly be better in that respect. With sales doubling: every five years on the average, pro motion is almost inevitable." IBM hopes that this message will help to give you some idea of what it's like to be a physicist at IBM. There are equal op portunities for E.E.'s, MJS.'s, mathema ticians and Liberal Arts majors in IBM's many divisions Research, Manufactur ing Engineering, Sales and Technical Services.
