Husker Youth Outlasts Aging By George Moycr Sports Editor Outyarded, outdowned but not outfought. That's the story of the Nebraska Varsity line up that took a 14-6 victory from the Alumni in Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon. The youthful "Cornhuskers ground out an eighty yard sus tained drive in the second quarter and then used a short Alumni punt for their second score in the third quarter. The fifst marker was scored off the single wing and the sec ond came from the split T formation. ,- Spirited defense by the Var sity stalled the Alumni's grinding attack in the f i r s t quarter while Coach Bill Jennings' quarterback felt Gardner's Last Day Great For Huskers . . . Michigan State Falls Sports Staff Writer By Elmer Krai Nebraska's fabulous Keith Gardner made his last home appearance in a blaze of glory Saturday, as the Husker track team finished its first unbeaten indoor-outdoor season in 18 years by defeating a good Michigan State team, 79-55. An enthusiastic All Sports Day crowd of some 8,000 peo ple stayed over after the Alumni-Varsity football game to see Gardner & Co. perform under ideal weather condi tions. Gardner proved to be as hot as the weather. He start ed off activities by anchor ing the 440 relay team which set a new stadium mark of :42 flat. Minutes later he stepped into the blocks for his showdown with the highly re garded Willie Atterbcrry of Michigan Slate in the 440 yard dash. Atterberry is one of the best sprint and middle dis tance men in the nation. Close Race Gardner shot out of t h e blocks like a jet as he got a good 20 yard lead over At terberry after half a lap, but the stronger Atterberry made a close race of it by pulling within 3 yards of Gardner with 50 to go. Gardner wasn't going to be beaten however, as he crossed the finish line first in a stadium record breaking time of :46.6. This time is the second fastest in the nation this year. The anticipated duel be tween Gardner and Atter berry in the 220 didn't ma terialize as Gardner sat out the race to rest up for the mile relay. He was second man on the relay team which finished behind a tremendous Michigan team which won in the fast time of 3:14.5. Seniors Bow Out Bill Hawkins, Keith Young and Bill Marten also made their final home appearance. Keith Young won his fourth straight 220-yard low hurdles race in 23.8 with Marten and Hawkins close behind. Young had earlier won the 120'ard high hurdles with Marten and Hawkins behind in that order. Track captain Hawkins also garnered a second in the broad jump. Nebraska pic ked up other first place finishes in the mile, 100 yard dash, high jump, and pole vault. Mike Fleming ran a strong mile as he cut the tape in 4:17.4 for one of his best times in that event. The mile Want Ads Hides available for Los AnEsles area leaving near June 1.

The Varsity took over the ball on their own 20 and proceded to cut m the after burner. Pat Fischer, Harry Tolly, Dick McCashland and Mike Eger were the prime mov ers in the drive. Fischer got off some neat runs, mostly off the single wing sweeps and faked well on the pass plays. McCashland served notice that Nebraska would once again be well provided in the fullback slot by running the linebucks and delays with the drive and poise of some of his predecessors at that posi l , a r. nlMU, ing ran his usual shrewd race He traileu the leaders around the oval for 1500 yards but then he kicked strong on the home stretch to win by 10 yards over Michigan's Robert Lake.

Forced to come from be hind in all three of their games with fourth-place Kan sas last weekend, Nebraska's Cornhuskers caught and passed the Jayhawks by iden tical 4-2 margins in both the Friday and Saturday after noon features, and conceded Saturday morning s battle, 12 8, only after a seven-run demonstration in the seventh inning. The double home vic tories reduced Kansas to "also-ran" status in the Big Eight pennant race, and ad vanced the Huskers, now running fifth with 7 wins in 15 league games, a step closer to the first-division berth to which they are ac customed. Torczon Homer The besfplayed and most dramatic of the three con tests was Friday's, won with tv.o out in the ninth inning when leftfielder Gene Torc zon announced the ehd of his recent slump with a 360-foot home run to left. Save for this and a two-run spurt in the sixth, the Huskers were powerless against KU's ace southpaw, Larry Miller, who had won six previous deci sions without a loss. Kansas, on the other hand, got eight hits off NU starter Lefty Hevner, but only one counted a two-run homer by -iBRfl IN: MECHANICAL ENGINEERING STATISTICS & MATHEMATICS PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY tion. Tough and speedy, Mc Cashland barreled for several short pickups through heavy Alumni resistance and capped ms performance with a sweet ten yard jaunt on a delay.

In the KU eighth, with two on and one out, Barry Donaldson lift ed a high fly ball to left that spelled certain doom for. the Huskers until Torczon, run ning eastward at full speed, made a dazzling one-handed robbery and fired the ball back to first for a double play. Huskers Tie Gil Dunne, fiery second baseman, opened Nebraska's scoring with a sixth-inning leadoff homer, after which Al Karle, third baseman, and catcher Jim Kane tapped base hits to right to tie the score. Winning pitcher was right-hander Bob Gleason, who relieved Hevner in the ninth and used just four pitches to retire three batters on infield rollers. Ziegenbein Toils for pitcher Charley Ziegen bein, it was a long forenoon in Saturday's first game. The long, loose-jointed lefty toiled for six innings and gave up just 2 earned runs in the sev enth. Siebler Wins ' A combination of torrid Ne braska sun and stinging Dwight Siebler fast balls withered Kansas batters in the last game of the series. Once the scoring was com pleted in the third inning, the ground. Again the Varsity defense rose to stop the Alumni with tackle Allan Wellman and linebacker Don Fricke c o 1 lecting solid tackles. Minutes later, John Bor dogna got off a poor punt for the grads and Jenning's lads were ir business on the Alum 34. Tolly clicked for 11 yards to Fischer, Larry Naviaux boomed for eight, and Tolly hit Naviaux in the end zone from the nine for the second Varsity touchdown. Tolly found Naviaux all alone in the right corner for the extra points and the Alums were down 14-0. Alumns Score It didn't stay that way for long though.

The Huskers had KU hurl ers Wiley and Gary Russel on the hook in almost every in ning, but got all their runs in the third. Rightfielder Lar ry Lewis, regaining his early season form, tripled home two runs, and Kane and Torc zon again came through with base hits to give Nebraska a 4-2 lead that was never chal lenged. Siebler, now 6-1 for the season, struck out 13, or nearly two-thirds, of the men he retired, walked two, and allowed only four hits. "We got some good hitting this week-end, and two fine pitching jobs by Hevner and Siebier," commented a tired, smiling Coach Sharpe after the game, "but boy! that first game of the doublehead- Main Feature Clock" Stuart: "The Long Hot Summer," 1:00, 3:10, 5:15, 7:18, 9:30.

Tolly punted from his o w n two of the 27 and the Alums set up shop once more. Jerry Brown had a 12 yard pickup and Bob Smith, Rex Fischer and George Cifra moved the ball to the one.

Jennings had special praise for the Alumni attack. The Husker mentor thought the grads had done a good job in spite of lack of practice. "They always give us a real tough game," he said. Emmanuel Kidded Some good natured kidding was directed at Husker Dennis Emmanuel from the Alumni bench. Emmanuel, a 25-year-old service returnee, performed for the Alums last year, but has returned to school and a first string guara slot this spring. After he made one hard tackle in the first quarter, calls of "take it easy, you belong to us," and "get out of the way, traitor," came floating from the Alumni huddle. Hit Harder Tom Novak, who had a good chance to find out from his linebacking position, said that he thought the Varsity hit much harder this year than last. Harry Tolly, Varsity quarterback, backed Novak's statement with the comment that he thought the backfield had run much smoother throughout the contest than at any time last fall.
