Know The Frosh
Degnan Among Leaders
On Husker Sprint Corps
By Janet Sack
With a mark of :06.2 in the 60-yard dash,
Don Degnan of Kansas City, Mo., is one of
the top freshman sprinters.
In outdoor track he has marks of equal
quality with a: 09.8 in the 100-yard dash
and a :21.6 in the 220.
Don has been a sprinter for four years
and has participated In other sports, but
prefers track to any other because it is
a year-round sport. "Of coarse, I miss the
other sports," he said, "bat I enjoy track
more than anything else.
Degnan gives good, regular practice as
one of the roads to success in the dashes.
"Take me for example," he said: "I think
that hard practice in the 60 on Monday
and Wednesday and a lighter practice on
Friday keeps me in top shape.
"When I practice hard on Tuesday and
then miss a couple of days, I get a little
out of shape. Maybe my start will be bad
or maybe I won't have the extra strength
needed at the finish."
Confidence Important
Confidence also plays a very important
part in a brack man's success or failure.
"Confidence can make a mediocre runner
into the best runner in the U.S. or the
world for that matter," Degnan said.
Three things that any runner has to keep
uppermost in his mind are to keep in top
shape, have good competition and be psy
chologically ready for a meet, Degnan
said.
"Another important thing to a college ,
runner is to get a name for himself," said
Degnan. "It is the gay with the name who
wins, even if he actually doesn't.
"The people are moe apt to make ex
cuses as to why the name didn't win. May
be it was because he had a bad day or
maybe a bad start, or maybe he was cut
off. The little guy who wins just does it
by chance."
As a high school senior during the foot
ball season, Degnan had some bad luck.
He injured his knee and wore a cast for
N seven weeks for the torn ligaments and a .
split cartilage. The doctors told him he
would never run again, but less than six
months later he proved them wrong.
Best Times
After the injury he turned in the best
times of his career in the 100 and 220 with
a :09.8 and :21.6 respectively.
Degnan said his biggest thrill was win
ning the 100-yard dash title in :09.8 in the
High School Division of the National AAU.
The St. Joseph meet in his senior year
also held a big surprise for Degnan. Even
' after a temperature drop of about 50 de
grees in the weather from the time of the
qualifying heats until the finals, Degnan
won the 100 in :10.2 and the 220 in :22.1
and anchored the 440-yard relay team to a
third place with a :45.5.
For his outstanding performances in the
meet Degnan received the Athlete of the
Day trophy.
Record-Holder
In addition to holding his high school
records in the 100 and 220, Don also holds
the records for the same events in the
- greater Kansas City area.
, jjtDegnan was much sought after by the
other Big Eight schools and some of the
smaller schools in the Midwest. He de
cided to attend Nebraska because of the
University and Lincoln.

teams were tied for second
position, but Theta Xi's vic

semi-final round of the all-C

undisputed second place.

the few basketball teams to
finish the season undefeated.
They boasted an 8-0 record for

Situation Unchanged

Nebraska's Board of Regents Tuesday formally accepted
Bill Orwig's resignation as athletic director but took no action
in picking a successor to the post. ,

Indiana Apru 1

Pittenger said a dozen or
more applications have been

Three avenues of solving

available to the Board of Re

I Sports Signals
By Hal Brown

Just as different jobs have a special vocabulary, sports
can also be distinguished by their special language and
wrestling is no exception.
When wrestlers yell "Get five" to a team mate on tha
mat it is plain that they mean for him to go for a pin.
Twenty-five years ago when a similar sit
uation arose, shouts of "Show him the
lights" could be heard.
Wrestling lingo has changed since
1936, like ladies' millinery, presidential ad
ministrations and almost everything else.
The best-known slang names for holds and
takedowns a quarter century ago were
"Highwings," "Banana Split," "Cushing
Special," "Gallagher," "Gilycan," and the
"Tulsa Whizzer."
The Tulsa Whizzer was a fast seizure
used by Oklahoma's Wayne Martin, three- Brown
time NCAA champ, in which Martin grasped an opponent's
arm and suddenly dropping backwards' and spinning,
flopped him on his back.
Nowadays, wrestlers still apply an occasional "Banana
Split" but mostly go for such canvas-kisser as the "Cat-
fish," Guillotine," "Pancake," "Fireman's Carry," "Cra
dle," or any of the werid family of Bear Hugs such as the
"Running," "Crawling," "Squatting" and "Lying Down
Horizontal from the Bottom" Bear Hugs.
To a team mate underneath, today's grapplers shout
"Fire!," 'Move Out!," or "Throw a Fit!" whereas in
1936 they whooped "Rise and Shine!" A quarter century
ago matmen would ask a team mate, "Want to work?"
when they wanted to take them on in a friendly practice
grind. Nowadays they ask, "Wanta roll around a little?"
A wrestler who is groggy from being slammed to the
mat was called a "Flip Dippy" a quarter century ago.
Now he's a "Dome Wreck." A "Pinky" in 1936 and a
"Sick Man" in 1961 means the same thing, a wrestler out
of condition.
An easy foe Is called a "pud or "white meat," An
opponent who runs from you Is a "chicken" or "sprinter.''
A take-down artist Is "slick on his feet." A quitter is a
"dog." A wrestler with a lame knee is known as a "man
workin' on one leg."
Wrestlers are the hungriest people in the world be
cause they are always starving to make the weight "Pult
ing" they call it, mostly. The steam room is "The Coun
try Club," "Torture Box" or just plain "Hell."
After weighing in at 2:30 p.m. on the afternoon of a
meet, wrestlers generally eat their fill. This is known as
"garbaging."
Good Year Expected for Former Husker
Nearly everyone connected with baseball is predicting
a banner year for former Husker athlete Bob Cerv. Cerv's
power is expected to blend well with the short fences in
Wrigley Field, home of the Los Angeles Angels.
Cerv and Albie Pearson, a 5-6 outfielder, signed their
contracts with the Angels at the same time. Pearson re
marked, "We are going to hit 41 homers Jaetween us. 40
by Cerv."
One of Cerv's biggest boosters is Bill Grigsby, sports
caster for the Kansas City A's. Grigsby tells of the season
when Cerv suffered a broken jaw and played with the jaw
wired shut. The ex-Husker ate his meals through a straw
for several weeks with a blender being used to prepare
solids so they could be taken through a straw.
"I remember several occasions that summer when Bob
would pull up at third after a triple and the umpire would
hold up the game until he caught his breath," Grigsby
says. "Many players would have stopped at second, but
Cerv knows only one way to play and that is full speed."
