Bob Leigh IM 'Star of Week
Hitchcock House Tailback Leads Team To Five
Straight Wins Over Selleck Quadrangle Foes
Bob Leigh of Hitchcock
House, by virtue of his out
standing play in intramural
football last week, is the win
ner of the Daily Nebraskan's
third "Star of the Week"
award. The weekly honor is
presented to t h e individual
who proves himself to be of
exceptional caliber in the
ranks of intramural sports ac
tivity on the University cam,
pus. Bob is the field-general of
an undefeated Hitchcock-team
which, during regular season
play, routed five gridiron op
ponents and amassed 96
points to their foes' 6. The
squad is now competing in the
All-University Championship
tourney, thanks in part to the
SAM Drops
FarmHouse
Sigma Alpha Mu forged in
to the semi-finals by defeat
ing a strong Farm House team
19-12.
SAM, led by the spectacu
lar line play of Ken Freed,
Mel Lavine and Bernie Tur-kel-along
with the persistent
passing attack of Norm Phil
lips to ends Howard Lipton
and Stan Widman built up a
13-0 lead going into the last
plays of the third quarter.
Farm House, having to go
to the air when their power
ful ground attack had been
stopped, rifled a touchdown
pass with one play to go in
the third quarter to bring the
score to 13-6. SAM then drove
50 yards in four plays with a
pass going to Stan Widman
from 10 yards out to clinch
the game and bring the score
to 19-6.
Qrchesis Practice
The Orchesis practice for
tryouts will be on Wednesday
at 7:15 in Grant Memorial.
Tryouts will be Oct. 29.
Anyone interested in trying
out should come to the practice.
ability of their agile quarter
back. He has passed for eight
touchdowns en route to his
honor, and has been success
ful on 9 of 14 attempts for the
PAT, via the reliable a i r
lanes. That the hefty senior
is a demon on defense is little
disputed by anyone. He
throws havoc into eny play
pattern on the part of enemy
quarterbacks, and can boast
of intercepting five enemy
passes in the course of the
team schedule.
Recognition for outstanding
play in sports has come be
fore too. Bob received all
state honors during his sen
ior year at Hardy High
School. He was an all-conference
rhoice for too years, and
received letters in track and
basketball in addition. He was
the third athlete in the history
of the school to ever win
twelve letters in the three ma
jor sports.
Leigh was out for f r o s h
football his first year at N.U.
but decided upon transferring
his major from physical ther
apy to music, to concentrate
more on studies.
Bob is a "sports vet" around
Hitchcock House, as he has
played on teams of previous
years, some of which were in
cluded in the championship
bracket in campus tour
nament . play. Last year,
Hitchcock House copped firsf
place honors in Selleck Quad
Class A basketball, with Bob
a major cog in the squad's
success.
Quizzed on wno he consid
ered to be the most outstand
ing player he has thus far en
countered, Bob had this com
ment: "John Bartels, in my
opinion, is a terrific competi
tor. He's a r e a 1 defensive
player, and has really given
the guys trouble from his posi
tion." Bartels is a member of
the Gus II House squad.

Undefeated Colorado
Next Husker Opponent
Unbaaten Colorado, moving
awesomely toward its Nov.
1 showdown with Oklahoma,
will clash with Nebraska's in
jury-riddled Huskers at Boul
der Saturday.
Touted as the greatest team
io Rocky Mountain history,
the Buffs make no bones
about there being just one
game on the 1958 schedule
that Nov. 1 clash with the
Sooners. Saturday's encounter
is looked upon by Colorado
supporters as a mere whetting
of the appetite of the brutal
Buffs.
However, there is one fac
tor that stands out this year
as it has in the past. Season
after season the Buffs have
pointed for that Oklaho
ma game and some place
along the way most years
have looked so hard at that
big date that they have
stubbed their toe on lesser
foes. The chances are small
er this' year because of the
terrific stockpile of talent on
the Boulder campus.
As early as last year, be
fore the season was over, the
word flashed out of the
Rockies that the greatest ma
terial in Colorado history was
on hand. Even the loss of Ail
American Bob Stransky was
not going to be felt because of
the power of sophomore tal
ent. In fact Dal Ward, Color-
N Club Initiation
The N club will hold a
dinner tonight starting at
6:30 p.m. at the Lincoln Ho
tel. Preceding the dinner will
be the formal initiation of
last spring's new letter win
ners. A business meet
ing will follow the dinner.
Cornshucks
Tonight's the big night.
Hundreds of fans will prob
ably be on hand to watch Chi
Omega and Alpha Phi tangle
in the soccer baseball cham
pionship game. The contest
between the undefeated pow
ers of the sorority league is
slated for 5 o'clock on the
Southeast field at 16th and U.
Edge DGs
The Chi O's reached t h e
finals by edging a tough DG
team, 9-4, last week. Alpha
Phi had much easier time
with the Tri Delts; the score
was somewhere in the upper
twenties. Hence, on the basis
of sheer power, I'll have to
pick Alpha Phi to win the ti-
by larry novicki
tie.
It does my heart good to
see these dainties competing
in athletic sports. And it's go
for the gals too. Bonnie Prud
den, a leader in the national
drive for better physical fit
ness, will back my play on
that statement. She says that
good,, manual, athletic exer
cise is essential to healthful
living. - - -
ado coach, said that he doubt
if all of his returning letter
men would be able to make
the team this year.
So far the Buffs haven't
been impressive in all their
wins, but they haven't been
beaten and their hasn't been
anything to shake the confi
dence of the Colorado fans.
Wooten
With Big John Wooten (227)
backing a bid for All-Ameri-can
guard honors with some
of the finest line play in Big
Eight history, the Buffs are
having no trouble after a
shaky start against Kansas
State.
Howard Cook has taken ov
er the tailback spot 1 e f t va
cant by Stransky's graduation
so well that a "Who's Strans
ky?" query might not be un
heard of.
Cook doesn't have to carry
all the load of Coach Ward's
single wing. There are a be
vy f big, tough fullbacks in
George Adams, Chuck Weiss
and Leroy Clark. In 1956, Le
roy C 1 a r k was pushing mon
sterous John Bayuk for the
starting fullback job. This
year Clark has been having
trouble staying off the third
team. Also, Eddie Dove is the
best wingback the Buffs have
had since Frank Bernardi left
to join the pro ranks.
Dowler
Possibly even better than
these is Boyd Dowler, giant
6-5, 209 pound, blocking back
(quarterback) who led the con
ference in pass receiving with
25 receptions for 376 yards.
Dowler also was second in
punting with a 40.2 average
and eighth in the passing de
partment by completing 15
passes for 271 yards. Dowler
has Isen an all-conference
since nis sophomore year
and would probably be All
American if blocking backs
had a chance for that honor.
It sounds as though it may
be a tough afternoon for any
foe this fall.
Dents whipped Phi Epsilon
Kappa 20-7.
Eyen hit Ganow in the first
quarter for the first score.
The Dents try for the extra
point wasn't good.
Dick Washert was on the
receiving end of an Eyen
aerial in the second quarter.
Bob Burton caught the extra
point pass as the Dents left
the field with a commanding
13-0 halftime lead.
The Dents scored their
last six pointer of the game
when Eyen again hit Ganow
with a 20 yard touchdown
heave. Eyen passed to Gan
ow for the extra point also.
Phi Epsilon Kappa made
their only score on the last
play of the game. A pass by
Gail Hefflefinger into the end
zone climaxed a drive that
had started early in the quar
ter. Hefflefinger passed to
Jack Schacher for the extra
point.
Sigma Nu
Sigma Nu downed Beta
Theta Pi 6-0 in one of the
tightest games of the intra
mural play-offs. Both offenses
rolled smoothly to midfield,
but bogged down repeatedly
inside their opponents fifteen
yard stripe. Sigma Nu did not
score until late in the fourth
quarter when tailback Yogi
Hergenrater threw to Ron
Holscher in the end zone for
the games only tally. The
Sigma Nu scoring drive was
sparked by a twenty-five yard
Hergenrater gallop which
gave the Nu's the ball deep
in Beta territory. Four plays
later they found the scoring
combination.
Previous to the Sigma Nu's
scoring drive the Betas had
muffed their scoring chance.
They had four chances inside
the Sigma No fifteen yard
line, but could not cross the
goal line. A Dick Place pass
dribbled off the finger tips of
Bill Kendall to end their scor
ing threat.
For the victors, Yogi Her
genater stood out offensively
and called a smart game from
his tailback position.
Don Wenzl, usual offensive
tandout was the defensive
stalwart with his last minute
interception.
Beta tailback Dick Place
played his usual strong offen
sive game, but could not pen
etrate the tough Sigma Nu
defense inside their fifteen
yard line.
Lprry Romgue and Jack
Ottermah were defensive
stand outs for the Betas.

i wanted a job I could grow with
and I've got it"
H. James Cornelius graduated from
Swarthmore College in 1054 with a B.S.
in Electrical Engineering. He's been
"growing" ever since with the Bell Tele
phone Company of Pennsylvania.
After an initial 44-week inter-departmental
training course, Jim was made
Facility Engineer in charge of the fat
growing Norristown-Pottstown area. In
that capacity, he engineered over half a
million dollars' worth of carrier systems
and cable facilities between major switch
ing centers.
Today, he is one of 50 young engineers
from the Bell Telephone Companies
chosen to attend a special Operating
Engineers Training Program at Bell Lal-
oratories. This 19-month course of study
with full pay deals with advanced
techniques and new concepts in elec
tronics which signal a new era in teleph
ony. It involves both classroom theory
and practical laboratory applications.
When Jim and his colleagues return to
their companies, they'll review major
engineering projects. This will assure
the best use of equipment for current
engineering, as well as for expected new
developments in communications.
"I wanted a job I could grow with,"
says Jim, "and I've got it. I can't think
of a better place than the telephone com
pany for an engineering graduate to find
a piuniising future."
Many young men like Jim Cornelius are finding re
warding careers ilh the Bell Telephone Companies.
