Spring Drills Begin Today
Jennings Plans Stress
On Husker Air Attack
Bv Dave Wohlfarth
Spring football practice starts today with the emphasis
being placed on the Huskers' passing game for the first
time in several years, according to Coach Bill Jennings
Jennings said Sunday that the bad weather may curtail
practice till Wednesday, but that it will start today "as far
as we know.
'We will make every effort
to start Monday, he re
ported.
The drill, which will begin
a four-a-week practice rou
tine for 20 sessions, will start
. at 4:15 p.m.
Jennings has indicated Ne
braska will go to the air this
year in an attempt to
strengthen the NU offense,
which has been the Husker
weak point the past few sea
sons.
'More Passing'
"We will pass the football
a lot more than we have been
doing. We hope next fall to
throw the Nebraska offense
wide open," he said.
The 73-man squad will be
gin work on offense immedi
ately, using an "opened up"
T formation, which utilizes
the wing T, the double wing T
and flankers, he explained.
"We will spend at least the
first week on offense," the
Husker coach added.
"We hope spring workouts
Justify our belief that we can
get the ball in the air and
keep it there this year," Jen
nings said.
Quarterbacks will be relied
upon to do most of the Husker
throwing this year.
Heading the quarterback
corps are returning lettermen
John Faiman and Ron Meade
and sophomore Dennis Clar
idge, who could be the key to
the success of the NU pass
ing game.
Claridge, 6-2 and 196, was
held out of competition last
fall after being ineligible for
the early games.
Other Quarterbacks
Other quarterback candi
dates include Ernie Bonistall,
Ron Gilbreath and Jim Little,
all sophomores.
Position changes this year
include switching Bill (Thun
der) Thornton from fullback
to halfback, end Bill Corn
stock to fullback and sopho
more back Dick Callahan to
end. j
Seven players probably will
not participate in spring
drills.
Fullback Noel Martin is re
covering from a second knee
operation.
End Pat Salerno, guard Dal
Dyer, quarterback Bonistall
and guard Jed Rood are on
the Husker baseball team
and end Larry Donovan and
tackle Leon Janovy are mem
bers of the track team.
Saturday Scrimmages
The Huskers will practice
Monday, Wednesday and Fn
day and scrimmage every
Saturday until May 13, when
the Varsity meets the Alums
in the annual All-Sports Day
contest.
Although he will have one
or more letter men for all
positions, Jeninngs admits he
must rely heavily on sopho
mores for depth and some
first-string replacements.

By Hal Brown
Two bright spots were evi
dent in an otherwise sad aft
ernoon of baseball for Coach
Tony Sharpe's diamond crew
as Oklahoma State swept a
doubleheader from the Husk
ers Friday by 9-3 and 7-1
scores.
Dave McClatchy's 3-for-3 at
the plate in the two games
stood out like a sore thumb
among an otherwise inept hit
ting performance by the
Huskers.
Tom Ernst, sophomore
righthander from Columbns,
came on in relief of starter
Jan Wall in the third inning
of the first game and set the
heavy-hitting Cowboys down
with only four hits.
McClatchy, a 5-5, 145-pound-
er from Palisade, got a pinch-
hit single in the last inning
of the seven-inning opener
and drew a starting assign
ment in centerfield for the
nightcap.
He hammered out two hits
and drew a walk as the lead
off hitter for the Huskers. Mc
Clatchy scored the only Ne-game.
Husker Score
With the Huskers trailing.
4-0, McClatchy singled with
two out in the third. A walk
to Rex Swett moved him to
second and the tiny Husker
romped home when Jerris
Harris's grounder went be
tween Cowboy second base
man Bruce Andrew's legs.
McClatchy also handled
three chances in the outfield
without a miscue. His throw
to relay man Swett, who fired
perfect strike to catcher
Dave Myers cut off another
Cowboy run in the fourth inning.
Ernst struck out three and
walked only one in 4 2-3 in
nings of work. After giving up
two runs in the fourth on a
double by Jim Dobson, a
walk, a sacrifice and a single
by Gary Reid, Ernst settled
down and retired the next
eight men in order.
After Reid broke the string
with a lead-off single in the
seventh, Ernst got the next
three batters to retire the
side.
Defending Big Eight cham
pion Oklahoma State wasted
no time in getting to Wall as
the first three men hit safely.

THUNDER MOVES OVER
Thunder' Thornton, 191-pound Husker back from To
ledo, Ohio, will be switched this year from fullback to
left halfback ia order to bolster the NU halfback eorp.
The success of the switch depends heavily on the success
of a second knee operation to Noel Martin, Husker fullback.

and came home on a double
by Andrew. Walt McKenZie's
single sent Andrew across the
plate.
McKenzie scored when
Husker centerfielder Steve
Smith dropped Dobson's long

Error Helps
An error by shortstop Wal
lace allowed Salerno and My
ers to score as Harris went
all the way, to third and
Smith, the hitter, went to sec
ond. Third baseman Reid then
fumbled Dick Becher's roller
to load the bases again.
A long sacrifice fly by Bill
Redmond plated Harris with
the final Husker run.
Wixson,' a junior righthand
er who pitched a no-hitter in
the College World Series last
year at Omaha, held the
Huskers to four hits in gain
ing credit for his third win
against no losses.
Wall was charged with the
loss, his second against one
win.
The Cowpokes opened the
scoring in the nightcap with a
run in the second inning. Ray
Bond led off with an infield
single, went to second on a
passed ball by Dal Dyer,

360-foot homer to left-center
unloaded the sacks.

ready thin catching corps was
suffering from injuries Fri
day. Myers was hampered by
a sore arm after being hit on
the ebow in the first game
by a Wixson pitch and Dyer
was bothered by a sore hand.
The Cowboys stole bases al
most at will with four thefts
in the first game and three in
the second.

Wausa Star
Comes to NU
David Banks, all-around
athlete at Wausa, will enroll
at the University of Nebraska
next fall, Coach Bill Jennings
announced.
Banks, a six-foot 195-
pounder, has won four letters
in football and track, two in
basketball during his career
at Wausa. He was chosen
three straight years as an
all-conference back. Scholasti
cally he is on the honor roll.
He has played halfback,
tailback and fullback on of
fense and middle linebacker
on defense.
"My greatest sports thrill,"
Banks says, "is actually an
accumulation of three years
of varsity action. It rose to a
climax in my last two seasons
when I was a member of two
Wausa football teams that
won 13 straight victories,
dropping only the first game
of the 1959 season.
"Under the fine coaching of
Stanley Hansen my last two
years were filled with all the
great thrills which are a part
of football. To me every
block, run, pass or tackle
adds to the greatest thrill of
all winning." j
