Luther Wins
Award For
Scholarship
"Athletes are proverbially
"dumb" and I wanted to
prove that wrong," explains
Husker baseball player Clay,
ton Luther.
Luther won the C. W. Bou
cher award for the highest
grade point average of a sen
ior letterman. His average
was 3.209.
"I had to work hard for
that honor. I came from a
small school and I had to
study very hard. But I am
very pleased to receive such
an honor," he said.
Luther comes from Indi
anola. Nebr., a small town
near McCook. He played mid
get baseball for five years at
McCook as first-string catch
er. "Actually, I got my start in
baseball from my father who
coached me . in Cub Scouts.
He kept my interest up and
kept me going in the sDort."
Luther explained.
He is now the first-string
catcher for the Nebraska
baseball team. He has been
tabbed a fine defensive catch
er for the Huskers. His batt
ing average for the season is
.273, and he leads the Husk
ers in put-outs with 84 to his
credit.
Luther feels that Nebraska's
team this year "has real
good potential and can still
win the Big 8 title." He said,
"This team is by far the best
hitting Nebraska has had
since I've started playing
here. This is a closely knit
team and we all want to win
the title."
Luther is enrolled at t h e
Teachers College at the Uni
versity and Is majoring in

biology. He plans to go to
graduate school for one year
and then begin teaching, and
his future plans include ob
taining a Master's Degree in
Guidance.
"I am a counselor in the
dorms and I like to work
with kids. I don't want to go
into administration ki h i g h
schools because I think I
would loose contact with the
kids," he explained.
Luther said that someday
he wants to try coaching, but
he "will have to learn a lot
more about it before giving it
: a try." Meanwhile, Luther is
busy learning more about
catching for the Huskers as
he and his team-mates pre
pare for the next 12 confer
ence games that will decide
the Big Eight Championship.
University of Nebraska ath
letes continue to prove them
selves in the classrooms as
well as in sports competition-
Several other Cornhuskers
were cited for academic
achievement at the 38th an
nual University of Nebraska
Honors Convocation.
Les Hellbusch, sophomore
trackman from Columbus,
ter with a straight-A average
in Arts and Sciences, made

ship in Phi Eta Sigma honor
ary. Three freshman who made
the honor list: Bill Daiss of
Grant (football) Agriculture
College. Joe Armstrong of
Beatrice (football) Business
Administration. Jim Simmons
of Scottsbluff (track) Teach
ers College.
While these current Corn
husker athletes strive for ac
ademic excellence, a former
Scarlet and Cream star con
tinues to sparkle in the classroom.
Excitement clings to
him like a dame!
Harry Tolly, Husker quar
terback in the Bill Jennings
era he played a key role in
the historic 25-21 upset of
Oklahoma in 1959 earned
recognition for high scholar
ship in the College of Dentis
try. It was old hat for Harry.

ord dipped to 5-4 after the
Huskers dropped two games
to Oklahoma State last week
end. But Sharpe is still opti
mistic about the Huskers
chances for the conference
title.
"It looks as if it's a six
team race with only Colorado
and Kansas out of the race
for the championship," said
Sharpe.
"With four losses we won't
be able to lose too many
more, but I remember a few
years ago we won our last
ten games to cinch the title,"
he said.
Sharpe feels that the lack
of outdoor practice and some
injuries to key players hurt
the Huskers last week-end in
their series with the Cow
boys. "I think we can pull the
team together and still win
the championship," he said.
"Looking at Missouri's rec
ord thus far, I suppose I'd
have to say they have been
somewhat of a disappoint
ment. But Missouri has been
known to start slow and fin
ish strong, and I just hope
that the Tigers don't decide
to put their hitting and pitch
ing together and take their
wrath out on us," Sharpe
said.
Nebraska will take an 18
man squad to Missouri. They
will travel by chartered bus.

The telephone rang. Defensive end
coach Jim Ross answered.
"Sorry, Colonel Gaddini is out on a
field problem but will be back later. Can
I take a message?"
Ross laughed.
The "Colonel" is Rudy Gaddini, a
graduate student who helped coach the
last two years at Nebraska. He has
been taking a lot of ribbing from the
coaches since he accepted a backfield
coaching job at General Beadle State Col
lege. General Beadle State College is a
small liberal arts school in Madison, S.D.
It is fully accredited and offers both teach
ers education and bachelor of science pro
grams. It is undergoing a major expan
sion movement and has a good athletic
department.
The only problem? That name!
Ever since Gaddini took the job at
General Beadle he has had to withstand
the jibes of his fellow coaches at NU.
Clete Fischer affectionately calls the
school "General Beagle" while Bob De
vaney wants to know if Ringo Starr goes
to school there.
Someone wanted to know what Gen
eral Beadle did to get the school named
after him. Gaddini asked Steve Bindas,
athletic director at the college and Bindas
explained that Beadle prevented any pan
ty raids on campus.
One recruit asked Gaddini what school
he represented. Gaddini replied "General
Beadle State College." The recruit just
said, "You're kidding!"
Gaddini's football career is indeed a
colorful one. Gaddini was an All-City and
All-State selection from Chicago's Fen
wick High School. He played football for
four years at Michigan State and was a
member of the Sparten team that beat
UCLA in the 1956 Rose Bowl, 17-14, by
kicking a field goal in the last seven sec
onds of the game.
Gaddini coached five years at Fen
wick as backfield coach under John Jar
dine, who now is the offensive line coach
at UCLA. During that time Gaddini
coached four All-Staters and one All-Amer-ican.
Gaddini joined the Husker staff in
1964. In January of this year he received
his Masters in education.
Gaddini has mixed feelings about the
name General Beadle. "It is a catchy
name ya' gotta admit," says Gaddini in a
combination of Italian and Chicago ac
cents. "But it does cause problems."
He is excited about the new job, name
or no name. "I'd like to go as far as
possible in the coaching profession," says
Gaddini, "And I wouldn't mind being as
successful as Bob (Devaney)," he adds
with a smile.
Gaddini is a walking encyclopedia on
General Beadle State College.
"Actually, the General was a very fa
mous educator in South Dakota and helped
set up the land grant colleges there," he
explains.
Dr. Laurence S. Flaum, the president
of the institution doubled the enrollment of
the school in the past three years and
expects to keep up the growing trends.
The school has a current enrollment of
about 1000.
Bindas is a former head of the Nebras
ka State Physical Education Association
and was a golf pro at Hastings Country
Club. "He is one of the 12 finest physical
educators in the nation," says Gaddini.
Gaddini is optimistic about the foot
ball program at General Beadle. "It may
just become the Slippery Rock of t h e
midwest," he offers.
Gaddini, his wife Julie, and their
three children will leave Nebraska in June.
"Nebraskans are great people. I think
they are outstanding and very friendly peo
ple. I have truly enjoyed my association
with them," he says.
"They won't even let me in a staff
meeting with a pencil and a piece of pa
per for security reasons they're afraid I'll
steal Nebraska's plays," jokes the "Colonel."
