Star Of The Week:
Mullins Receives 'Star'
Lauded For
Joe Mullins, a member of the
Freshman track squad, has been
named as the Sports Star of the
Week by the Daily Nebraskan
sports staff. Joe is the first fresh
man ever to be named for this
honor. He received the honor for
his outstanding performances in
postal track meet against the Kan
sas State freshmen.
I say performances because in
the seven events he entered, he did
not know what it was like to be
defeated. He scored five individual
firsts and helped the mile and two-
mile relay teams go break nation
al collegiate freshmen records.
The mile relay team composed of
Mike Fleming, Richard McVickers,
Ken Ash and Mullins scorched the
cinders for a time of 3:14 and Mul
lins did his lap in a lightning :47.3
to hold the record for the fastest
time a Husker ever covered the
distance. The former mark was set
by Red Littler at :47.5.
Mullins also led the two mile re
lay team of Fleimng, Ash , and
Jerry Marples by running a 1:50.6
half mile. The team covered, their
distance in 7:36.8 and Mullins time
was the fastest ever covered by a
Husker. Hobe Jones held the for
mer mark at 1:51.8.
The previous mile relay mark
was held by Texas University's
Freshmen at 3:14.4 set in 1956 and
the previous two-mile record was
held by UCLA at 7:40.4 set in 1954.
As for his individual firsts, he

Ken Pollard scored a second in
the pole vault with a jump of 12
feet, 6 inches. Husker Don Blank
took, third with a 12 foot vault.
Other Husker points were socred
by Bruce Skinner who came in
second in the 440 yard dash and
Clarence Cook who took a third
in the shotput.
The Husker thinclads will travel
to Iowa State today for a dual
meet against the Cyclones.
Performance In Track
up to and past the mile. He won
the 100 yard dash, the 220 yard
dash, the 440 yard sash, the 880
yard run and the mile. This is the
most spectacular performance by
one man in a single meet in the
last few years.
Mullins who hails from Glace Bay,
Nova Scotia, did his high school
running in Boston where he was
a local track sensation. Joe's best
distances are the 400, 880 and the
mile where he promises to be a
iuture Big Seven champion. Two
weeks ago, he finished second in
the Glen Cunningham mile at the
Kansas Relays. He entered the meet
as an open entry so as not to
jeopardize his freshman eligibility
and ran the distance in a little over
4-10.
At the present time, Joe holds
the world's record for the 660 yard
dash. He covered the distance in
a little over 1:25. The former mark
for the not-too-often run distance
was 1:26.
. At the present time Coach Frank
Sevigne rates him as one of the
outstanding runners in the country
and potentially the greatest pros
pect he has ever coached. "He's
easy to coach, but you have to
watch him. He doesn't want to call
it quits after a hard workout,"
Sevigne said.
During the indoor track season,
Joe performed many similar feats
in postal meets although he never
enjoyed as much productivity as
in last Thursday's running. Much

Tigers End Spring Drills;
Backfield Lacks Depth
By DIANA MAXWELL
What'cha think of spring prac- spring, good blocks sprung our ,
tice, Coach?
Frank Broyles of Columbia, Mo.,
took a long pull from an ever-present
bottle of soda pop and started
thinking out loud.
"We didn't get quite as far along
as I'd hoped to. I thought our
lines made a great deal of progress.
Mostly because our personnel
three-deep remained pretty static
all spring. In other words, the
boys we picked early as the best
at their position stayed that way,
and got the benefit of all the work.
"It didn't turn out that way
with the backs, though, and we
were handicapped. Starting fresh,
we had no idea of which backs
met the standards we were look'
ing for and therefore many of
them moved up and down the lad
der, from day to day or week to
week. When they dipped below
the third team, they didn't get too
much varsity coaching.
"Take Vern Mucke and Bob An
derson, for instance. Neitner
played a varsity minute as sopho-
so were not high in the pciture
when we got under way. But mid
way through out workouts we real
ized they were the type backs who
could help us tremendously next
year, and both finished up as the
stars of our spring game. Had we
been able to give them more coach
ing time and attention earlier,
they would have progressed even
further."
Tell us, coach, with Jimmy Hunt
er and uave uoane gone, uuw

back? "Our quarterbacking should be
adequate. None of the top candi
dates "Stub" Clemenson, Phil
Snowden or Don Mason took
all of the work this spring because
of minor injuires. They adjusted
well to a new offense but none
of 'em, I'd say, nailed down the
top job. Clemenson has the expe
rience edge, but whoever looks best
in September will lead the team
What about team speed?
"It's difficult to assess your own
speed when you're working against
each other. Frankly, I don't know
whether we're fast enough to get
the job done . . .1 am sure we
dor't have the kind of speed in the
backfield, and in our linebackers,
that you need. My sights may be

wins for you."

and how far did our boys

and that's all!"
Which of the M. U. veterans
looked best this spring?
"Of the backs, George Cramer
was head-and-should,ers above -th
field. George is a great runner,
has fine balance, and plays the
defense real well. After him, Bob
Haas, a sophomore halfback
showed the most versatility. Clem
ensen came along well, and as
mentioned, Mucke and Anderson
were real pleasant surprises.
"In the line, Don Chauwick at

his job in a quiet, unspectacu
lar way . . . he's a coach's player
while McKinney started slow
ly but showed unusual develop
ment in the litter stages. He's a
very fine end in all respects."
How about the upcoming sopho
mores? Any sparklers?
What are the plans for Hank
Kuhlmann and Charlie James, last
year's regular halfbacks who were
cut for baseball this spring?
"Well, everybody tells me that
both boys are great athletes who
will make our team, and that's
good to hear. We've shifted Cram
er to right half, figuring that .
Kuhlmann might be more of a
iullback type in our belly-series. -'and
James, a right-half last year,
probably will play at left half be
cause of his quick-kicking ability.
That's one play I'm sold on
we'll quick kick an average of
two or three times every gamt
next year."
What briefly is the September
readiness program?
"We'll work on refinements
the extra-point, the punting gama
and punt return and pass defense.
To me, those are the three most
important plays in football today.
Our running game already is in
stalled., except for putting in a
couple of reverses, or check, plays.
We will polish our passing gama
in September, and do the built.. ol..
our roiigh work in the first week.
That way, the injured men will
have two weeks to get ready. I -doubt
it there'll be any scrimmag
at all in the week prior to our first
game, and none during the week
once the season opens. .
