Royal Canadians Take
Hockey Championships
Hockey, the newest and
most exciting of the intra
mural sports closed its first
season Wednesday night
with a game between the
champion , Royal Canadians
and the All-Stars. The Royal
Canadians started fast and
protected their perfect 12-0
season.
Most of the scoring took
place in the first period and
it was in this period that the
Royal Canadians copped the
advantage.
Dick Thompson of the
Royal Canadians opened the
scoring early in the first pe
riod with a goal. Terry
Moshier added another for
the Canadians and Ron
Mitsch drove in another to
give the Canadians a 3-0
lead. However, the All-Stars
flashed back on goals by Joe
Vaccaro and Lance Reeder to
close the gap to 3-2 before
Mitsch added his 2nd score
of the match to give the Can
adians a 4-2 lead.
Harvey Jensen of the All
Stars opened the second pe-

riod with an unassisted goal
but Ron Mitsch added one
for the Canadians to push the
score to 5-3.
The third period was the
most spirited and yet the one
with the least scoring. Up to
the third period, there were
no penalties called on either
tesm; but in the third there
were three.
With ten minutes left in the
game Wally Bryans sank
a goal but it was nullified
for an infraction of the rules.
Then with eight minutes left,
Lance Reeder hit a goal to
cut the Canadian lead to 5-4.
With seven minutes remain
ing, a tripping penalty was
called against the Canadians
and they were forced to play
with only four men. How
ever the All-Stars were un
able to press their advantage
and the final horn sounded
with the Royal Canadians out
in front 5-4.
The two goalies Bob Otten
of the Canadians and Steve
Cohen of the All-Stars per
formed brilliantly throughout
the game. Both made several
saves that could have
changed the whole outlook of
the game.
Next year, the intramural
department hopes to add an
other league. This year, there
was just one league com
posed of eight teams.
In regular season play, the
teams played three 15 min
ute periods but in Wednes
day's game they played three
20 minute periods.
Ron Mitsch, who was the
league's high scorer with 42
goals and who sank three
more for the Canadians in
the championship game, is
working for his PhD.

Hersch Turner, Nebraska
basketball star, has been se
lected as the Outstanding Ath
lete of the Year by the Daily
Nebraskan sports staff.
Turner was picked for his
record breaking performances
and his leadership of the Ne
braska basketball team.
Turner was named on several
all-American teams for his
basketball ability. He is also
a high jumper on Frank
Sevigne's track squad.
Hersch broke Jim Buchan
an's single season scoring
record with 428 points to lead
the Huskers in scoring. He al
so set a Nebraska record for
most field goals in a single
game with 14 against Detroit.
Turner led the IT u k e r s in
rebounding with 244.
Turner was named to the
Helms Athletic Foundation
All-American Basketball third
team, to the United Press In
ternational Big Eight first
team, to Look magazine's dis
trict five all-star team and to
several all-opponent teams.
Hersch also received the Wal
ter Dobbins memorial award
as the most valuable basket
ball player at Nebraska.
He was only one of three
Big Eight players picked by
the Helms Foundation. Bob
Boozer of Kansas State was a
first team choice and Arlen
Clark of Oklahoma State
joined Turner on the third
team. Turner and Boozer
were the only Big Eight play
ers named by Look magazine.
Turner is a near cinch to
shatter the Nebraska three
season scoring record next
year. He needs only 181 points
to break the record of 854
held by Rex Ekwall.
Hersch thinks the Huskers
will be improved next year.
He says, "I think we will be
vastly improved. We will have
more height and more bench
strength, something which has
been lacking the past two
years."
He will receive the award
at a Daily Nebraskan lunch
eon today noon. Turner is ma
joring in Commercial Arts
and is a junior in Teachers
College.
The award was started by
Bob Cook, Daily Nebraskan
sports editor in 1954-55 with
Gymnast Bruce Riley receiv
ing the first award. Rex
Ekwall and Keith Gardner
have won the other Outstand
ing Athlete Awards. Ekwall
won the award in 1957 and
Keith Gardner was last year's
winner. lo award was given
in 1956. Turner is. th e first
junior to win the award.
