Husker Alumni
Stressing TDs
There will be no fooling around with calisthenics or other
fundamentals 4 during the alumni football drills which began
Monday.
"We are going to concentrate on touchdown plays and
little else." Alumni Coach Cletus Fischer says. Last year's
STZiJHr&xrii s t0 score a touchdown as the Husket
varsity scored a 14-0 win
The alumni players will
work three days a week and
Fischer says he hopes to
have about 20 players work
ing out. Fischer explains that
the practices are made pos
sible by the large number of
Husker alumni glrddcrs IIv
ing in Lincoln.
Fifteen of the 33 players
who have indicated they will
play in the annual game are
living in Lincoln. The alumni
coach said he hopes to hear
from several more players.
"We will need more than 33,"
he says, "I guess I will have
to get on a few of these
guys."
The alumni will be able to
toss an offensive backfield
into action which would have
either Harry Tolly or Tom
Kramer at quarterback, Pat
Fischer, Larry Naviaux or
Clay White at halfback and

Sports Signalsj

By Hal Brown
Will Ernie Bonistall be the next Husker to join the pro
fessional baseball ranks?
The Nebraska sophomore is also a quarterback for the .
football team but with the showing of the three top Husker
signal callers this Spring, prospects aren't too bright for
breaking into that spot next fall. Bonistall
is reportedly weighing professional offers
and although he cannot sign until school is
out this summer, don't be surprised if he
is the next player Baseball Coach Tony
Sharpe loses to the pro ranks.
Four Huskers in Pro Baseball
Four members of Sharpe's teams in
past years now in professional baaseball
are Bob Cerv, Dwight Sieblcr, Ely Chur
chich and Phil Barth.
Cerv, a Weston native, started in 1950
with the Kansas City Blues in the Ameri
can Association and moved up to the New
York Yankees in the summer of 195L He was sent back
to the minors at Kansas City twice before coming up to
stay in 1954.
' r The Yankees traded him to Kansas City, then in the
majors, in 1957 and he had his best year with the Athletics
in 1958. Cerv played in 141 games, hitting .305 with 38 hom
ers and 104 RHIs. After hitting .357 for the Yankees in last
year's World Series, he was drafted by the new Los An
geles Angels in December.
.
Siebler Is with Buffalo in the Triple-A International
League after a 7-8 record with a 2.31 ERA for Williams
port In the Class A Eastern League last season. He is in the
Philadelphia Phils organization.
Barth, in the Baltimore Orioles chain, moved up from
Class D at Bluefield in the Appalachian League to Aber
deen in the Class C Northern League. Barth's 14 homers
ranked him second in the Appalachian circuit in that de
partment. He was third in RBIs with 51 and had a .269
batting average. Barth, a third baseman for the Huskers,
was used mainly at first by Bluefield.
Churchich is assigned to the Cleveland Indians' Class
B farm club at Burlington in the Carolina League. Ken
Blackman, chief supervisor of scouts for the Indians, was
in Lincoln recently to watch the Nebraska series with Iowa
State and he reported that Churchich had been impressive
in Spring training.
Huskers Will Be A's Guests
The Nebraska baseball team will get a chance to see
three native Nebraskans in action Friday night. The Husk
ers will be guests of the Kansas City A's for the Friday
night game beween Baltimore and Kansas City.
, Three members of the Oriole club are from Nebras
ka. Shortstop Ron Hansen, American League Rookie of
the Year in 1960, is from Oxford while outfielders Jackie
Brandt and Russ Snyder are from Omaha and Oak, re
spectively. A fifth Nebraskan in the majors is Richie Ashburn
with the Chicago Cubs. Billy Martin, fiery pepperpot second
baseman for the Milwaukee Braves, can be considered an
adopted Nebraskan since he married a girl from Alliance.
Back to the Bush Leagues
Vedie Himsl, f i r s t of the Chicago Cubs' battery of
coaches to take the reins, passed the baton to Harry Craft
and left immediately for the Cubs' minor league farm at
San Antonio to be a pitching coach. During his two-week
reign the Cubs won five and lost six.
If yon find someone who will take the bet, ask him to
pick three pitchers who will win 20 games during the 1961
ssason. Then bet him that at least two of them fail. Only
tVee pitchers won 20 last year all In the National League.
Mast persons would have picked Warren Spahn to do it,
but few would have named Ernie Broglio or Vernon Law
as the other two.
Playing in a World Series can mean extra dollars in
the pockets of players through endorsements, banquet ap
pearances and other incidentals. But Pitcher Roy Face and
Catcher Hal Smith of the World Champion Pirates capi
talized on the fame another way.
Los Angeles Dodger Pitcher Roger Craig says he
doesn't like to pitch in Arizona's dry climate. "The spitter
dries up before it gets to the plate," he says.
Dick McCashland or Carroll
Zaruba at fullback.
Among the graduated line
men are Don Fricke, center;
John Bond, end; Joe Gacu
sana, John Ponseigo, Dick
Kosier, guards; and Roland
McDole, tackle.
Three players who have
played key roles in past varsity-alumni
contest are
among those who have said
they will play this year. They
are Carl Samuelson, Tom No
vak and Sam Vacanti.
Samuelson and Novak,
mammoth linemen will lead
the alumni defense as they
try to stop a varsity offense
that has been impressive in
spring drills. Vacanti will re
turn to help direct the offense
and lead the alumni passing
attack.
Husker Coach Bill Jennings
said the varsity would be
holding nothing back in the
spring game. ,
"Largely," he explained,
"because we are going to
have to go all out to win. But
we'll be doing everything in
this game that we'll be doing
next fall."
The Huskers have been
concentrating on a passing
game in Spring drills. Jen
nings said the Huskers would
throw the ball more this fall
for two reasons.
"Most important, we have
some young men who can
throw the throw the ball."
Jennings said, "and the fans
seem to like to watch that ball
in the air." The "young men
who can throw the ball" are
John Faiman, Dennis Claridge
and Ron Meade.

In Neic Competition j
A new intramural sport,
deck tennis, will be unveiled

sortment of curious rules.

Theta Pi, Gus I, Farm House,
Theta Xi and Sigma Chi.
The Sigma Chi team rousted

The game originated on the
decks of some ship and con
sists of a six-inch ring, a net
and an area of space
ground, floor, street, etc. A
deck tennis game is scored
to 15 points.
Only the serving team can
score a point. A point is
scored when the ring touches
the ground on the receiver's
side of the court.
The ring Is thrownback

throw. The ring must be
thrown with the same hand
that caught it.
Intramural Director Ed Hig

one feature of the new sport
was that it could be played
just about any where because
of the limited restrictions on
court size.
