Four More Gridders Join Alum
Prep For Saturday's Annual Contest
By BOB WIRZ
Staff Sports Writer
The Alumni football squad have
added four names to its roster in
preperation for Saturday's contest
with the Husker varsity.
Bill (Rocky) Mueller of Omaha
said he would play if "it was a
warm day with no snow." Mueller
was a Husker star from 1947-50.
The speedy back is now an attor
ney in Nebraska's largest city.
Jerry Jacupke also announced
he will attend but only if "you or
der a cool day and pad the seats
on the bench." Jacupke was at
Nebraska from 1944-47.
Sam Vacanti is the third addi
tion. Vacanti was an outstanding
quarterback just after the second
World War. As usual Sam is ex
pected to do some passing and
probably will again handle the
point after touchdown job. Last
year he converted twice in the
14-0 Alumni win.
Jack Carroll is the final addi
tion announced to date. Carroll is
presently living at Ogallala where
he is a coach.
More additions are expected
later on in the week. The total is
over thirty now and last year some
55 attended the annual contest.
This is the sixth game in the
series that has seen the Varsity
winning on all but two occasions.
The Varsity won in 1951-53 after
the '50 opener ended in a 13-13
tie. Last years contest was the
'only shutout for either squad.
Bill Jennings is expected to go
with veterans at most positions in
the opening minutes of play Satur
day. The varsity has been hamp
ered quite a bit this spring first
by the state basketball tournament
and then by bad weather.
However, after a Saturday
scrimmage, Jennings was pretty
well impressed with the showing
of the squad. The scrimmage was
mostly an offensive battle with I

ly deserves the honor of being
named to the All-Star team. His
rangy form -presented e formid
able barrier to opponents under
the basket during the season.
Dick's rebounding ability was un
excelled as was his ball handling
thus Dick Prusia earns a berth
on this year's Daily Nebraskan
All-Star team.
Next in line to claim his laurel
earned during the season's play is
Larry Naviaux of MacLean house.
Larry proved to the men of Sel
leck he could play basketball as
well as football as he gunned the
MacLean five through the season.
Last year he was selected on the
All University first team.
Third to come into the limelight
and step into the ranks of the
All-Stars is Clarence Cook, football
end and Husker thin-clad from
Hitchcock house. Clarence was a
foremost reason of the Hitchcock
house winning the A league in in
tramural . basketball this season
and playing in thechampionship
game in the State basketball tour
ney, His versatility on the hard
court floor was indispensable to
the Hitchcock crew in their win
ning season thus Cook earns a
berth on the fantasy five in Sel
leck play. Cook was selected on
last year.

10 touchdowns being scored in the
afternoons workout.
The baseball team is hoping for
better weather before this week
end and their two game series
with Drake. The squad has been
forced inside all but a few times
this year. The Friday afternoon
game is slated for 3:00 p.m. and
the All-Sports day clash is at
10:00 a.m.
Coach Tony Sharpe will probab
ly use two or three hurlers iu
each contest in order to give them
some -work and will also rotate
his infielders and outfielders.
Tennis Coach Ed Higgenbotham
will send his squad to their first
meet of the year against Creigh
ton at 11:00 on Saturday. The
meet may possibly be played in
side the Coliseum if wheather is
bad.
The track squad will try to re
gain winning form at noon when
they take on Colorado A&M in the
only home outdoor duel of the cam-

Bessey's contribution to the set
of dream players. Doug Chappel
by name is the person who
sparked the'Bessey house to their
seasonal finish. Doug contributed
much to the Bessey crew in the
way of rebounding and points
which kept his team in top conten
tion for the crown at all times.
Doug was on last year's All-University
selections for second team.
Last but far from being least on
the cage crew is Joe Houfek from
Canfield. Lastyear the cage star
was selected for All-University
first team of intramural competi
tors in the sport of round ball.
This year Joe is making another
strong contention for the team by
earning a berth on the first team
of A Selleck team of mythical se
lections. Joe's cage ability was
not to be denied and his outstand
ing play throughout the season
compelled opponents to rate him
as one of the best in intramural
play.
Thus the first team is composed
entirely of veterans of last year's
All University basketball selec
tions and one from last year's A
Selleck league All-Star team.
The second five of the fantasy
squad is composed of Ron Golus
of Gus I, Wayne Copes of Mac-
Lean house, Dick Reimers also of
MacLean house, Stewart Schmidt
of Gusli, and Bill Fisher of And'
rews.

Tarheels Are
Well Balanced
Says Ekwqll
By MIKE LOUGH
Staff Sports Writer
"Well-balanced" is Rex Ek
wall's description of the undefeat
ed North Carolina basketball
squad. North Carolina, you will
r e m e m ber, squeezed out Kan
sas by one point 54-53) in the fi
nals of the NCAA tourney at Kan
sas City last Saturday night. Ek
wall witnessed the dramatic triple
overtime battle. ,
Rex's real reason for being on
hand though was the annual East
West Shriners' basketball game
which he played in. He was NU's
representative for the underdog
West team which pulled a 64-60
upset victory.
When interviewed, Ekwall
praised Iowa State's Gary Thomp
son for his part in the Western
cause. Thomson, whose 16 made
him high point man for both teams
was honored ny Ekwall who said
the flashy guard "sparked" the
Western allies to victory. Ekwall
also had much to say for SMU's
Jim Krebs. Krebs was installed
as pivot for the West and landed
nine points.
Ekwall pointed out two "good
shooters" for the East. Grady Wal
lace ?f South Carolina and his
worthy rival, Lennie Rosenbluth of
North Carolina particularly im
ressed Ekwall. Rosenbluth led
the East with 14 tallies and Wal
lace, the nation's leading er
game scorer was hot on his tail
with 12.
From there the conversation
turned back to the "well-balanced"
North Carolina club. When asked
what he thought of the undefeated
(32-0) Tarheels after All-America
Rosenbluth fouled out in the fourth
stanza Ekwall mentioned that he
(Rosenbluth) was the only senior
on the starting five. This indicates
that everyone should watch out
for the NCAA champ Tarheels
next year.
Ekwall gathered four points in
the Shriner game. He played about
58 per cent of the time and saw
action in both halves. Up on the
rack above . his bed now stands
the mute evidence of his competi
tion at Kansas City a trophy with
the inscription "Ararat Shrine
East-West All Star K.C., Mo.
1957." And over in his closet are
the showy yellow, red and green
Shriner basketball jersey and
trunks which he keeps to show to
his posterity.
Rex's immediate plans after
graduation are "maybe playing
AAU ball with the Peoria Cater
illers or Goodyear Tires." Look
ing further into the future he says
he has "to go to the service in
about a year."
