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

formation. ,-
Spirited defense by the Var

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

running plays. Then in the
second quarter, Sam Vacan
tia field goal from the 27 fell
short. 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.

that Nebraska would once

Big Eight Race:
Huskers.
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

left his brother Rex and Alum

tims of his swivel hipping.
The second half opened with
Bob Smith s tremendous 54

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

Dwight Siebler fast balls
withered Kansas batters in
the last game of the series.

pleted in the third inning, the

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.

by frequent and candid criti

boisterous crowd.
The Huskers had KU hurl

ning, but got all their runs
in the third. Rightfielder Lar

season form, tripled home
two runs, and Kane and Torc

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.

this week-end, and two fine

smiling Coach Sharpe after
the game, "but boy! that

enough so that the elder Doyle
didn't get the tackle, but it
took determined work by Den

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.
