Friday, March 29, 1957 The Daily Nebraskan Paqe 3 At Boulder: ' Nebraska Thinclads Face Buffaloes In Indoor-Outdoor Cinder Meet v By JIM COURTLAND Staff Sporti Writer Boulder, Colorado will be the icene of Nebraska's final indoor track meet as they pit their cin der talents against the Colorado Buffaloes. The Sevigne mentored thinclad crew will begin their outdoor season the same day, as the discus and javelin everts will be held outdoors in the afternoon, i Court ty Lincoln Star Rawklni Broad Jumper but the completion of the contests will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Colorado Fieldhouse. Nebraska will be opening its out door track season after the Colo rado competition. The Huskers downed every opponent during the regular indoor season and in the Big Seven Indoor Track meet, held In Kansas City this year, finished third netting 30H points. That was great improvement over the 1955- 1956 showing in the same meet as they finished a dismal last. Coach Frank Sevigne has mold ed the Cornhusker crew into a powerhouse that should be in top contention for the outdoor crown throughout the season. The second year coach at the University has been especially proud of his Ja maican Jet, Keith Gardner, who ran a total of 12 races in indoor competition this year and was first to break the tape in everyone of these events. Although Keith was the stellar competitor of the Husk er squad, mentor Sevigne was also blessed with the cinder talents of many other fine performers. Oth ers are Bob Elwood, distance run ner from Elliott, Iowa;' Knolly Barnes, Trinidad's contribution to the Husker 880-yard force; Bill Hawkins, versatile veteran per former; Ken Pollard, top-notch pole vaulter; Bill Marten, stylish performer from Beatrice, and high jumpers Goose Gausman and Dale Knotek. When Colorado and Nebraska met during the indoor season, the Nebraska boys edged the Buffs by a score of 56-48. They nipped the Buffs in firsts by 7-5. Colorado, however has bolstered their chances of defeating the Huskers by the addition of the two outdoor events, the javelin and discus contests. They boast the talents of Ken Yob, last year's Big Seven champion in the jave lin throw while Jim Blackwell and Gene Weil show great promise in the shot-put event. Nebraska's answers to these two events will be found in the arm of Dean Britt enham of Brady and Bill Lafleaur, of Madison for the Javelin event as Dick Skold and Al Rosen will support the Husker's chances in the discus contest. The Huskers might salvage a few more points in the mile relay. The Buff's squad won the event during the meeting of the two but in the Big Seve.i meet the Huskers nipped the Coloradoans at the tape as Keith Gardner ran for the quar tet as the anchor man. Another thing in favor of the Huskers is the steady improvement of Knol ly Barnes in the half-mile run. Barnes was slighted by Colorado junior Bob Greenfield in Lincoln as he set a new meet record of 1:57.3. But in Kansas City Knolly ran a full three places ahead of Greenfield. Meet records in the most Jeop ardy are the 51-3 shot put mark of Colorado's Wally Tanner in 1951 and' the mile relay time. Buff sophomore heavyweight Jim Blackwell has thrown as far as 52-6 this year and won the Colo rado Invitational Indoor meet last Saturday with a 51-4'4 toss. Ne braskans Dick Skold, Al Rosen and Clarence Cook will maka their bid for a riboon in this depart ment. The Nebraska Cornhuskers will open their outdoor season against Colorad0, but their only home dual meet is scheduled for All- Sports Day, April 6, against Colo rado A. and M. Highlighting the schedule is the Big Seven Con ferente Championships meet which will be held in Lincoln, May 17-18 April 6: Alumni Optimistic; eadying For Clash By BOB WIRZ ' Staff Sports Writer Last spring the Alumni squad surprised the x Varsity footballers in the annual All-Sports Day clas sic by winning a 14-0 decision. The contest was played before some 5,000 fans in a light drizzle at Memorial Stadium. This year the Old Timers are planning their strategy early. Some If -illlS i 4 . .'..,-.:,a-cy;.-..;... v. s I Courtesy Sunday Wagner.. Alum Gridder 26 ex-Huskers have already, an nounced that they will participate in the contest slated for the aft ernoon of April 6. Tom Novak and Robert (Moon) Millen willl again coach the squad. Novak, the All-American center, will probably handle much of the linebacking work along with his coaching chores? Mullen starred for the Cornhuskers in 1948-51. e Among those already slated for duty are three players who are or have recently been on the ros ter of professional teams. Ed Husmann, the big tackle from Ogal- lala, is slated for action at his old position. Husmann spends his winters playing ball with the Chi cago Cardinals. Ed also was a top notch college wrestler. Jon Mc Williams, who is back' at the University, is scheduled for ac tion at one of the flank positions. The Sidney lad played in the Cana dian League in 1956 and had a very successful rookie season. Bob Smith, from Grand Island, is the third professional player on the early list. Smith started last season with the Cleveland Browns and later on was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles also in the National Football League. This collection of ex-greats also includes five of last year's Husker team. Max Kitzelman, LaVerne Torczon, Jack Fleming, Bob Ber guin and Larry Jones for the nu cleus of what could be a fine line. Quarterback Gordie E n g 1 e r t, from last seasons squad, also is on hand. The Sioux Falls, South Dakota lad is being counted on to share the signal calling. Rex Fischer, Gerald Ferguson, and John Bordogna are three oth er backs slated for duty. Fischer who was a top halfback in 1955 for Bill Glassford scored one of the two touchdowns last season. Bordogna also hit paydirt last spring with a two yard plunge. Bordogna will probably run at the quarterback slot although he can play halfback. Ferguson is a top broken field runner. With him and Smith at the halfback posts the Alumni could score from almost any place on the field. Big Ted Conner from Hastings is slated for tackle duty. Dick Thompson will again see action at quarterback. Thompson is now a sporting goods salesman at North Platte and he also does quite a bit of officiating. Bill Taylor, .an ex-assistant coach, will be at a guard post along with his old .unning mate Bob Wagner. These two men were together much of . the 1955 cam paign. Dennis Korinek is back for an other try. The six-man graduate from Ulysses is another threat to go all the way. Darrin Sales trom, Frank Simon, Joe Ponseigo, Dr. Ardie Means, Ralph Dam kroger, Rex Hoy, Red Golan, Den nis Emanuel and Verl Scott are other linemen slated for work. This is one of the six events scheduled for Saturday April 6, and you can see them all for one dollar. Regular student athletic tickets do not admit a person to see these attractions.

He will also be trying to gain the honor of .being chosen the meets outstanding wrestler for the second straight year. Danny hasn't lost a college match, winning 41 straight. He has pinned the last 19 opponents he has faced and 30 of the 41 he s beaten. He went to Melbourne for the Olympics and took the silver medal for second place. Actually he should have won being far ahead of his opponent on points but Olympic rules state that if at any time the shoulders touch the mat, a fall is awarded and Hodge, manuvering for position allowed his shoulders to brush the mat. His second place was the highest award the U.S. received in wrestl ing. He also went to the Olympics in 1952 and advanced to the quar terfinals. Because of Hodge.

Student Union perennial powers in the sport. Off season, Hodge weighs about 191 pounds and has to reduce con siderably to make weight. His coach, Port Robertson would rather have him wrestle at 191 but Danny insists on going down be cause he feels that he can wrestle better at that weight. Hodge's best praise comes from Rex Perry, coach of the University of Pittsburgh team and former intercollegiate champ who says, "He's too good for college boys, he's head and shoulders above anything we've got." The Cornhusker golf team, coached by Jerry Bush,- will be trying, with the help of three re turning leltermen, to better their 1956 6-6-1 win-loss-tied dual meet record. , The schedule calls for 13 match es closing with the Big Seven Tournament in Lincoln, May 16-18. The returning lettermen include John Butterfield, Warren Christen sen and Jerry Moore. Butterfield has lettered twice and is playing his last seas,on for the Huskers.

He is a younger brother of Jack Moore, an ex-Husker golfing great who graduated last year. Due to the bad weather, early workouts have been hampered but tryouts for the first team positions will begin next week, according to Bush. Bush also announced that a rec ord 15 men are making bids for the first team.
