Spring Football Practice
Is Finally Under Way
With 110 candidates poised
for the opening whistle and
three false starts already
Coach Devaney and frosh
quarterback . . . Seen at
Wednesday's practice session.
chalked up Coach Bob De
vaney has launched the Ne
braska spring football season.
Devaney had originally
primed his defending Big 8
champions for an Anril 2
jump-off, then next tried Ap
ril 3 and finally Monday, Ap
ril 5.
But the rains came, went
and came again.
"Our practice field looks
like a rice paddy during the
Monsoon season," croaked
Devaney from his sickbed ear
lier this week, where he
parked to give a sore throat
the cure after Monday s op
ening session to be was flood
ed out. But Wednesday all
was changed.
The first practice saw vet
erans at most of the top po
sitions. "Our lineups at this time
are purely experimental," De
vaney stressed. "Upperclass-
men rank high now, but we'll
start shuffling before long.
Another thing, too, is that we
are going to drill both ways
during the first portion of
spring practice. After we see
who can do what, we'll start
lining up offensive and defen
sive units."
Senior fullback Frank Solich
did not practice football, but
was a sparkplug on the Hus-
ker baseball team.
Quarterback Fred Duda was
working out in sweat clothes,
and wUl not see contact this
spring.
Unless more rainv weather
intervenes, the squads will
scrimmage Saturday.
Elgin Out Of Playoffs
Elgin Baylor of the Los
Angeles Lakers underwent
surgery Sunday to repair a
torn left kneecap.
The operation will keep
him from leading his team
in the National Basket Ball
Association play-offs.
The Laker star twisted
his knee in the early min
utes of Saturday night's
Western Division play-off
game with Baltimore.

TODAY
This afternoon Nebraska's
baseball Cornhuskers take the
field for their first conference
action. Tony Sharpe's forces
will be attempting to upset
last season's Big Eight champ
and NCAA runner-ups, Mis
souri, and improve on their
rusty opening of Wednesday.
Only four lettermen return
from the champion squad of
a year ago, but do not let the
figure be misleading. The Ti
gers have sharpened their
claws with a 26 to 3 smother
ing of Texas Tech, a club
who inflicted two regular sea
son losses on Mizzou last year.
John Simmons, winner of
ten conference flags in 25
campaigns, will have veteran
Mike Strode on second base,
veteran Bob Robben in riffht

Rain Or Shine
Husker Tennis
Begins Today
By Bob Gibson
Tennis coach Ed Higgenbo
tom doesn't have an overly
optimistic outlook for his
team's success in the upcom
ing season.
There are onlv two return
ing lettermen from last year's
squad which posted a fine 12-4
overall mark. They are Ted
Sanko and Kile Johnson, both
juniors. It looks right now
like Sanko will have to fill
the shoes of the departed
Dick Gibson in the number
one spot. Thev seem to be bis
shoes to fill but Ed seems
confident when he says, "Ted
is going to make anybody
play a lot of tennis to beat
him."
Johnson will nrobablv nlav
in the number three spot on
the team. Kile is the tallest
man on the squad at six feet
three inches. He looks likely
to do quite well in this spot
with his overpowering serve
and forehand.
The number two spot is a
welcome surprise with sopho
more Scott Nelson holding
down tnis p ace.
Nelson is the type of player
who doesn't make very
many mistakes and therefore
can be beaten only by aggres
sive play.
In the number four spot
going into Friday's match
with South Dakota State is
Nelson's teammate on last
year's freshman squad Dean
Beebe. Behind him in t h e
fifth spot is a newcomer, Tom
Tipton, a sophomore who
didn't play on last year's
Freshman squad.
Bob Cochran is in the sixth
position while Choosak Yon
trarak is seventh as of this
writing.
All in all there are four
sophomores and three juniors
on the team.
Much should be learned in
the season opener as to
whether the sophs can come
through to Hive the team
enough depth to come out with
a winning season.
Even if they don't come
along fast this season, the
future tennis teams look
mighty bright with many
sharp freshmen on this year's
team.
Fullback Solich Named
