Prokop of Chemists "A", Dick
Prusia of Hitchcock House, Clar
ence Cook of Hitchcock House and
Dick Kleiber of Alpha Tau Omega
have been chpsen for the All-University
Intramural Basket
ball team. This year's team fea
tures height, scoring ability and
all-around team play on the part
of the players picked.
Leading the team for the second
straight year is Bob Prokop, cen
ter on Chem A. Prokop. led his
team to an undefeated season in
league play as well as to the all
University Championship. He fin
ished as the teams high scorer
and top rebounder. Bob played for
the Husker basketball team in the
1954-55 season which attests to his
ability on the hardcourt. He was
a unanimous choice on the all
star team last year also.

all-University team is Dick Prusia
of Hitchcock "A". Dick led Hitch
cock to the championship of the
Selleck A league and the all "A"
title against Sigma Chi before los
ing to Chemist in the all-University
finals. Although only six feet
tall, he was one of his leagues
top rebounders. He was also Hitch
cocks leading scorer and team
leader. Prusia is now engaged in
trying Ho win a first .string spot
at center on the Husker football
team.
Clarence Cook, the other main
stay of the Hitchcock five is mak
ing his first appearance as an All
University selection. As he taas
only a sophomore this year, he
has two more years left to terror
ize the Selleck foes. Cook was the
main rebounJar and the teams
second high scorer. He was a for
mer all state selection from Mc
Cook. He is now the Husker foot
ball team's number one candidate

11 inches but this didn't stop him
from being the mainstay on the
Sigma Chi five that won the-All-fraternity
A championship and
lost a close game to Hitchcock
for. the right to be in the all-Uni-.versity
finals. He was the team's
floor leader and high scorer. Bill
has one year left to lead the Sig
Chi's, as he is only a junior. Last
year at McCook Junior College, he
made the Little-All-American foot
ball team as an end.
The fifth man on the squad is
Dick Kleiber of ATO. He along with
Cook and Prokop are the tall men
of the mythical five. Dick stands
at 6 feet 314 inches tall, a factor
which contributed to his great re
bounding ability. He also, as every
one else on the all-star team, was
one of his leagues leading scorers
and playmakers. He helped, his
team in taking their leagues cham
pionship and in getting to the fi
nals of the fraternity A tourna
ment. The members of the All-University
second team also deserve
mention as the difference in. the
playing abikty of the first and
second teams is almost negligible.
The members picked are Bob
Brandes, ATO; Gail Heffelfinger,
Baptists; Joe Houfek, Canfield;
Larry Naviaux, MacClean; and
Duane Buchtel, Manatt.
Brandes was the other half of
the ATO twosome that dominated
their league. Bob is a sophomore
this year and has two years left
to help lead the ATO's.
Heffelfinger who was a near
unanimous choice for the Independ
ent Ail-Star team played an out
standing forecourt game for the
Babtists. He was also their lead
ing scorer and rebounder.
Houfek was a first team All
University selection last year and
continued his fine play this year
for Canfield house. His being
picked for the second team is still

a testament to his outstanding
playing ability. It was largely
through his floor game that Can
field finished in a tie for first
place in the Selleck A league.
Nauvioux also was a' first team
selection last year who kept up
his outstanding play to warrant
his being chosen to the second
team. He also finds time to be
the top right halfback on the Corn
husker football eleven. Larry was
an all-state choice in basketball

another attempt to get their 1957
campaign underway as they enter
tain Kansas State on the Husker
diamond. The Friday contest is a
single affair starting at 3 and the
Saturday doublebeader will start

Coach Tony Sharpe hopes that
the weather will remain nice all
week so that the squad may get
some outdoor work. The Wildcats
will have a jump on the Huskers
since they opened their season last
week with a four game trip down
south.
K-State is reportedly vastly im
proved ball club from the one that
Nebraska defeated three of four
times last year.
Frank Sevigne's track squad
fresh from a big win over Colorado
A&M last Saturday will travel to
Norman, Oklahoma, for a dual
meet. The contest is scheduled for
outdoors on Saturday, April 13.
The tennis team will bave its
second match of the season on
Thursday afternoon. The Huskers
will host Omaha University. Ne
braska opened the season Saturday
by blasting Creighton 9-0. Coach
Ed Higgenbotham wants his squad
to get as much outdoor work, as
possible this week. The meet is
scheduled to be played outdoors
if at all possible.
Golf also hits the headlines this
week as Jerry Bush's outfit opens
their season. Three lettermen will
be on hand Thursday when the
squad opens against Omaha. This
is, the only action for the golfers
before their soutnern swing next
week.
All four squads will take the
road during the week of spring
vacation. The baseball team faces
a stiff five game test at Colorado
and the Air Force Academy.
The tennis and golf squads will
be in Kansas and Oklahoma. Each
squad is booked for five matches
during the road trip.
The track squad will face top
opposition as they invade Law
rence, Kansas, for the Kansas Re
lays. The next week Sevigne win
take three relay teams to Des
Moines for the Drake Relays.
Commented John Simmons,
baseball coach for Missouri -University
after MU's opening wins
(12-6 and 9-7) over Arkansas, "I
believe we have a better hitting
team than a year ago ... but our
pitching is going to have to come
. . Why down at Fayetteville, our
sophomore pitchers were throw
ing that SCARED ball.
Defensive grid mentor Jerry
Claiborne objected to Missouri's
budgeting bermuda-type shorts for
coaching apparel.. He- said, "I do
not want any part of them. They
may be all right for non-contact
coaches, but I'm not going out
there on the field and shuffle
around in my bare knees."
Wilt Chamberlain, 7-2 basketball
player for Kansas University the
past season, has accepted an offer
to play with the Boston Celtics
pro team next season, according
to an article in the Kansas State
Collegian. It was an April Fool's
joke though.
Merrill Green, assistant Missou
ri U baseball coach, is credited
with, "When I first went to Okla
homa, I was about as tough as a
wet noodle."

Lack ef Spirit ...
It's becoming quite evident that the people of Nebraska show
more interest in NU sports than the students attending the University.
A prime .example of this was All-Sports day last Saturday. It was
on that day that five Varsity teams donned the Husker Scarlet and
Cream to show off their wares to all Nebraskans. It was this writer's
pleasure to sttend three of the events and the amount of students
in comparison to the outside people in aitendance was appalling.
There weren't any.
It seems t me that if the University 'would support it s own
teams as much as the out state population does, an increase in the
caliber of the squads' performances would undoubtedly come about.
At the Varsity-Alumni football game, there were five thousand
fans in attendance on a fairly cold day. As I surveyed the stands
it became apparent that the majority of the students in the Stadium
were on the football field playing the Alumni
This whole subject has been hashed over many times, but if
students keep on showing the same attitude towards University
athletics, they will keep on reading the same criticisms.
Burning and A' Chunung . . .
Keith Gardner appears to be heading for another big season on
the track. He skimmed over the 120 yard high hurdles in : 15.1 on a
wet track and was so far .ahead of nearest rival that he had time to
glance over his shoulder as he went over the last hurdle. He also
covered the last 440 yards of the mile relay in .:43i. That's really

U't getting to be that time of the year when the graduating
high school athletes are thinking about, what University to attend.
It might be a good idea if over spring Vacation, the students going
back to their home towns start, talking Nebraska to these boys and
telling them the benefits of the University "and what they stand
to gain in the way of an education and a chance to play varsity

other schools.
P. S. Don't let the girls get away either!
Busy Weekend ....
This weekend, the H .inker baseball team will open its season
against Kansas State here in Lincoln. There will be a single game
Friday and a double header on Saturday. The golf and tennis teams
v.ill also be in action both going against Omaha University. It
might be a good idea if. the sUtients started the spring sports season
elf right by attending some of UA events and supporting the team.
AH team entries for the spring
Softball league will be due at 102
Physical Education Bldg. Not later
than this afternoon at 5:00 p.m.
There will be a meeting of all
Softball managers in room 114,
P. E. Bldg. at 5:05 p.m. today.
