He did not name the player. Shepard coached the Philadelphia Phils in 1967 and, prior to that, had managed in the minor leagues since 1943 with five first-place finishes.

All of his playing career was spent in the minors although as a playing manager he once had a string of four straight seasons in which he won more than 20 games as a pitcher. That was from 1948 through 1951. As to the upcoming playoff, Shepard said, "I don't really care who we play but, purely on the Western Division. "A team never develops right away and I feel I played a part in the development of the present Pittsburgh team," Shepard said. "I'm really happy for the players that they have come on so well this year and they do look like the logical choices in the east this year." Shepard added, "I hold no malice against the front office or anyone in the Pittsburgh organization."

Shepard has received particular praise for his work with Cincinnati pitching newcomers Wayne Simpson and Don Gullett as well as the still youthful Gary Nolan. He compared the Reds' young pitchers, including those in the minors with a group Pittsburgh had in the 1950s. "They had about seven or eight youngsters who looked as if they could be outstanding major leaguers," Shepard said, but he added the cautionary note that only one of them ever made Jim Beltzer 80-76 156 Bill Darbro 80-77 -157 Byron Adams 77-82 -157 Malt Friend 82-77 -159 John Falter 79-82 -161 Gene Maiwald 79-85 -164 Ken Poltorft -165 Ernest Comfort 83-86 166 C.

Ingles Returns To Hlusker Drills -SOUTHEAST INVADES HASTINGS East-Northeast, Pius-Links On Weekend Grid Agenda COX TO START AT SPLIT END By STEVE GILLISPIE Star Sports Writer Hastings Almost everyone at the Lochland Country Club had either forgotten or counted out Carl Poling of Beatrice here Thursday. Almost everyone, that is, except Poling and his playing partners.

Poling fired a par 72 to close with a 153 to finish second in the Sixth Annual Nebraska State Senior Men's Golf Tournament. Omahan Ben Cowdery won the meet with 151 to successfully defend his title. Cowdery finished his second round with a 73 a 1 in the afternoon and almost everyone was sure he was the tourney winner. But Poling teed off late and toured the demanding course with the best score in the meet with a 34 on the front nine and a 38 on the back nine. Cowdery was receiving many congratulations on his victory before Toling had made the turn.

When Poling finished he said, "1 knew I could either tie Ben or beat him and I had the job done going onto the 13th tee two under par. Poling has won the crown twice before and the Junior-Senior title three times. Cowdery only entered the meet for the first time last year. "inis is the only tournament I have played in this year and will be the only one I play in next year," said the Omahan who used to play the late Johnny Goodman. "I came out here to defend my title since I won it last year," noted Cowdery.

"I felt like I should do that." He said his ability to par all the par three holes in Thursday's round was the key to his triumph. "I felt like that if I could par the par three holes, the rest of the course would take care of itself," Cowdery explained. The first round leader, Omahan Frank Brudny, fell to a tie for fifth when his second round ballooned to an 84. Winning trophies for low net were John Falter with a 137 for 50 to 54-year olds, Jack Feather with a 139 in the 55-59 class, Dean Wilson with a 138 in 60 to 64, Ernie Kirchan with a 141 in 65 to 69 and R.

By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Nebraska split end Guy Ingles, suffering from bruised ribs since Jast week's Southern Cal encounter, returned to practice Thursday for the first time this week, but head coach Bob Devaney said he would not start the little senior Saturday against Army. "I think we'll start Woody Cox," Devaney said, "And unless the doctors and trainers say he's completely healthy we might think twice about even playing Guy. We don't want to take a chance of getting him banged up any more than he is." Cox is a junior college transfer with above average speed.

If Ingles does not play, Cox would be the only split end unless Devaney would dip into his red-shirt pile and come up with Dale Didur or Frosty Anderson. With the exception of I-back where he will decide between Joe Orduna and Jeff Kinney, Devaney said his starting lineup for the Black Knights was set. "And it doesn't make much difference who we start at I- back," he added. "Both of them are good ones and both of them will play about equal time regardless of who we start." The Husker coach said Jerry Tagge would start at quarterback, but pointed out, "Vn Brownson will see plenty Danek has a groin pull and Jim Sinner is being bothered by spasms in the back. We hope they'll be ready to go." Els says he expects his defensive backfield to be put to a stiff test.

"East quarterback Scott Copple is a fine passer," he says. "Our pass defense improved last week and will have to continue to do so. "But," he added, "we have to honor their running game too." East coach Lee Zentic, happy with his club's 28-6 win over Hastings last week after drop ping a 35-28 opener to Grand said that "the films show our defense improved 100 per cent." zentic says ne expects a tough game. "Any time the city schools meet you can bet it'll be an exciting, hard-hitting game. And yon know that Northeast isn't going to give ns some easy touchdowns by mistakes the way they did Southeast" Lincoln High and Pius will both be trying to preserve perfect records in their Satur day night battle.
