Exjyerience Lacked
Coach Bill Jennings and his
experienceless varsity foot
ball team will get their first
and last tough test before the
1959 football season when
they square off against the
potent and star laden Alumni
team at 1:30 tomorrow after
noon. The varsity, which has been
subjected to a rigorous and
spirited spring training, will
be outweighed by nearly 15
lbs on the offensive line and
25 lbs defensively. This acid
test will probably be a pre
view of the type of forward
walls they will face all next
fall.
Jennings offered nothing
profound In the way of prr
game comments. He merely
repeated what he has been
saying all spring that being:
"Bucking heads with one an
other doesn't provide many
answers". "We should know
much more about our squad
after Saturday's game.
The past week has been de
moted to kickoff formations
and punting drills. Carroll Za-
ruba and freshman Joe Dick
son were practicing place
kicks. Zaruba, Dickson, and
Don Fricke worked on the
kioffs.
Tomorrow's game will give
the Nebraska fans a chance
to see how the new point after
touchdown rule will work. The
place kick is still good for
one point but an extra point
by either a run or pass play
is worth two points.
Good news hit the Husker
camp this week when it was
learned that Max Martz, who
suffered a strained neck and
Spring Day scrimmage, will
be available for tomorrow's
game. Martz, who has been
one of the bright backfield
candidates all spring, is ex
pected to provide much of
the Husker scoring punch and
defensive work this fall.

year's All Sports Day football game. The 2 p.m.
Weighty Problem'
A liberal amount of weight,
experience and the two pla
toon system. That's what the
Husker varsity faces' when
they meet the Nebraska Alum
ni team tomorrow afternoon.
v Reynolds Heads List
Heading the list of the Alum
ni are such ex-Husker stars
as former All-American Bob
by Reynolds, Jerry Minnick,
Tom Novak, and a host of
other greats. This year's team
is a fairly salty crew as Don
Boll, pro player with the
Washington Redskins and Ed
Husmann of the Chicago Car
dinals, form the nucleus of1 a
heavy and experienced squad.
The grads will use the two
platoon system. With the of
fensive line averaging 206 and
the backfield composed of
Sam Vacanti, Bob Smith, Jer
ry Ferguson, and Jerry
Brown, the Alums could prove
to be a high scoring club.
. Last year the varsity eeked
out a 22-20 win as Sam Va
canti' last minute field gcl
attempt went astray. The
Alums have won only one
game, a 14-0 decision in the
1956 game.

From The Outside
by randall lamberl
During the Iowa State-Nebraska dual track meet I had a
chance to visit with Bob Brandt, Cyclone hurdler-sprinter,
who was formerly a first string halfback on last years fresh
man football team. Brandt and Dale Siemer, present Husker
footballer, were team mates in high school at Denison, Iowa,
where Bob starred in football, basketball, and track. They
came to Nebraska together on football scholarships, .but
after a good freshman year Brandt enrolled for the spring
quarter at Iowa State.
Bob isn't playing football at Iowa State, but is concen
trating on track and is one of the few bright spots in the dis
mal Cyclone track picture. He wasn't eligible for the Big
Eight indoor track season, but he will be competing at Co
lumbia, Missouri, in the conference outdoor meet.
High School Record
Brandt holds the distinction of being the only trackster
in Iowa history to win four events at the Iowa state track
championships. He won the 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, the
broad jump, and the 180-yard low hurdles. In a district meet
preceding the state meet, he ran the 180-yard low hurdles in
19.2 on a straightaway. His time was one of the top five high
school clockings in the nation.
Since Bob started competition this year, he has run in
the Kansas Relays and the Drake Relays. At Lawrence he
stepped off the 100 in 9.7 for a fourth place finish. He gar
nered a fourth place at Drake while a new record was being
set in the 440-yard low hurdles. He also placed fifth in the
hop, step, and jump at Drake.
Fans To Get Preview
Nebraska football fans will get a chance to see what they
can expect next fall when the 1958 edition of the Husker foot
ball team takes the field against the Alumni on All-Sports
Day. Although the Varsity-Alumni skirmish can't be used as
an accurate measuring stick, it can be a basis of compari
son between this years squad in the spring and last years
team at the same period. You must also remember that
much of the personnel you see on the field Saturday will not
be back next fall because of casualties that will be suffered
on the field and in the classroom.

Last Home Meet
Set For Saturday
The Nebraska track team
will face its last and biggest
hurdle toward an undefeated
indoor and outdoor dual track
season when the powerful
Michigan State Spartans in
vade Memorial Stadium on
All-Sports Day. The Spartan
squad, fresh from a win over
Notre Dame, will be the final
home test of the season for
Huskers before they embark
for the conference meet at
Columbia, Missouri.
Final Appearance
Keith Gardner will pass up
his pet event, the 120-yard
high hurdles to run the 220
and the 440 in his final ap-
perance on the Husker cin
ders. Keith reeled off the 220
in 21.1 in a triangular with
Houston and Oklahoma State.
He would have been under
this timing if he hadn't mis
judged the finish line and
slowed up. He has also done
the 440 in 45.5 while running
his sprint medley leg at the
Kansas Relays.
The top race of the day
could develop when Gard
ner goes to the blocks in
the 440 against Michigan
State's Willie Atterberry and
Dave Lean. Atterberry was
top freshman quarter miler
in the nation last year with
several clockings under 48
seconds. Lean is just a step
behind Atterberry. Lean and
Atterberry are also capable
of running the 880 in 1:50.
Nebraska's two sophomore
sensations Mike Fleming and
Joe Mullins will be after wins
in the longer distances. Mul
lins, who is rounding into
shape after his foot operation,
will be running the 880 and
Fleming will run the mile
and possible the 880.
Fleming will receive stiff
mile competition from Craw
ford Kennedy and Bob Lake.
Kennedy has churned the
mile in 4:12.

'day
Keith Young's record of
three straight low hurdles
wins may be jeopardized if
Atterberry decides to run th
low hurdles instead of either
the quarter or the half.
Another top attraction of the
day could be the mile relay.
The Spartans and the Husk
ers met indoors at the Michi
gan State Relays where the
quintet of House, Gardner,
Fleming and Mullins set a
new record by whipping th
Spartans with a 3:15 timing.
However, since that t i m the
Spartans have bettered that
timing on several occasions.
