Guy Chamberlin Dies at 73 lllC vrFeat Cornhusker Star From 1914-1915 The man who was the principle force in bringing the University of Nebraska to its first national football prominence and who made every conceivable Hall of Fame, but who was never too egotistical to forget his teammates, is dead. Berlin Guy Chamberlin, 73, died Tuesday morning in Lincoln. He lived at 1109 F. He's remembered by few in this generation, but clip files bring out the superlative adjectives and verbs to describe Chamberlin's play for the Cornhuskers and later in the pros. A Blue i native, Chamberlin came to Nebraska Wesleyan in 1913 switched to the university in 1914 and began the era with coach Jumbo Steihm.

In his two years (1914-15) the "Steihm-Rollers" won 15 and tied one, a i through into the national spotlight. Guy had throttle most of the time. Particularly memorable was the 20-19 victory over fabulous Notre Dame on a late October day in 1915. "Chamie" scored two touchdowns and threw a 35-yard pass for the winning score. But to have heard him speak, he did little.

His teammates did the most. He said of his blocker Dick Rutherford: "Dick Rutherford was the standout. But while Dick had more guts than I had, I was a little faster and Jumbo Steihm made him the workhorse and a me the glory." teammates thought quite a lot of Chamberlin, too. Herb Reese of Lincoln, a member of the 1915 team said upon hearing of the death: "The only thing I can say is it is a great loss to those who knew him. He was a wonderful fellow." When awarded a plaque for being inducted into the collegiate Hall of Fame, Chamberlin said: "I hate to receive As Student Chamberlin at dedication of Chamberlin Field at State Reformatory in 1962.

In Uniform this alone. Dick Rutherford made this possible. I wish he could be here beside me." After completing the brilliant collegiate career which included scoring nine touchdowns, his first year and 15 the second, Chamberlin went to the pros. As a player-coach, he won four championships in i years with three different clubs Canton Bulldogs, Cleveland and the Frankfort Yellow Jackets--between 1922 and 1926. Upon retirement, the hon- ors poured in.

Learning he had been tapped for the professional football a of Fame two years ago, Chamberlin said: "It's a thrill to be remembered," he said. "I played in 1914-15 and my generation is disappearing. Some of present generation recoznizes my name because their parents watched me play. But they have their present day heroes and that is as it should be." Chamberlin is one of six Cornhuskers in Hall of Fame. The others: Ed Weir, D.

X. Bible, George Sauer, Lank Lyman and Biff Jones. Chamberlin was a World War I veteran. Chamberlin is survived by his wife, Bernyce; a daughter, Mrs. R.

K. Sherwood, Bethesda, brothers, W. Beatrice, William, Lincoln; Truman, Valdosta, sisters, Mrs. Frances Meredith, Mrs. Ramona Frobes, both of Pasadena, and two grandsons.

The Huskers, working in groups under the direction of the different coaches, bounding about like school boys, running sideways, hopping cross legged and in general doing some funny looking maneuvers. It was nothing revolutionary. Drills are used at every practice by football team, but the Huskers were using more of them and several different ones.

Several experiments i individual positions are under way in the NU camp and Devaney also is installing a power I-formation for the coming season.

"We hit a little today," he admitted. "But we'll do a lot more hitting Wednesday." The two Husker platoons met with their respective offensive and defensive coaches in the NU Fieldhouse for 15 minutes before taking to the practice fields for a two-hour drill. Devaney dismissed h'e squad the first day without the usual session-ending wind sprints and said he was happy with the ohvsieal condition of the squad. "I think they came back in fairly good shape," he observed. "They appear to be in better shape than teams we have had in past springs." Sigler Passes Click The No.

There was some doubt for a moment Monday afternoon as to whether the Buskers' first workout would get off as planned. When head coach Devaney reached into his locker for his workout slacks, were none there.

By DON FORSYTHE Prep Sports Writer Lincoln Northeast, i fewer holes to fill than the other Capital City entries. gets the call of the coaches as favorite in the i baseball race. Northeast a LeRoy Seng can start veterans at all but one spot when he sends his Rockets out in their opener Saturday.

"It's now or never, because 13 of our 15 players are seniors," he says. Lettermen returning a pitchers Joe Starita and Ron Williams, catcher Cliff Young, infielders Bill Fagler, Mercer and Jerry Colvert and outfielders Steve Kyles, Jim Campbell and Rich Olson. A newcomer expected to fill in at third base is Bill Slaughter, a first baseman on the Grand Island entry in the state American Legion Midget tourney last summer. "He's been a pleasant surprise," says Seng, whose only other junior on the squad is Allen Campbell. Other seniors available are Jim Knight, Wayne Summers, Dennis Beranek and Ted Faubel.

Lincoln High coach Buford Grosscup has six veterans returning and expects pitching to be the strong point of his club. Righthander George Hinman and southpaw Don Mohlman head the staff. Other vets are infielders Doug Loos and Steve McKelvey and outfielders Chip Maly and Bill Strain. Bill Cottrell and Sampson will share the catching duties vacated by a Galusha. Ed Hohenfeldt and Steve Hergert add depth to the mound staff.

Others who should see action are infielders Bryan Grosscup, Bob Orta and Harold Connick and outfielders Kent Tyrrell and Jim Ellis. Southeast a Charley Gordon has a major rebuilding job as third a a a McEwen, pitcher Jon Roberts and outfielder Tom Hayes are the only regulars returning. Other letterman on a are outfielders Steve Bakk, Steve and Charles Chubb and infielder Pat Mooberry. Gordon looks to junior Lee Groteluschen to move in to replace all-city choice Tom Tidball at shortstop. BUI Leinberger, who spent the last two springs as a track man, will help as an outfielder and pitcher.

Roger heads the catching corps with basket- bailers Ron Nelson and Randy Smith battling for the first base job. Craig Lutz, Tom McKown and Terry Reigert add depth to the mound staff. New Pius coach John Rotter also has a big rebuilding effort, especially in the pitching department where dependable John McEniry was lost via the graduation route. The infield corps shapes up as the strong point with lettermen Joe Glenn, Bob Arkfeld and John Hadwick on hand. Dan Jablonski and Tom Schommer head the outfield returnees.

A sixth letterman is catcher Mike Butler, but he had recent knee surgery and may not see action. Rotter is looking at a pair of Mike Sullivans, one a junior and the other a senior, senior Mark Tinius and sophomore Gary Walker to handle the pitching chores. Dale Darnell is tabbed for catching duties and Bonde will get the first base call for the Thunderbolts.

Detroit Loses Title Battle; Suit Promised Detroit Detroit boxing promoter threatened to seek a court injunction Tuesday to prevent heavyweight champion Cassius Clay from defending his title against Floyd Patterson in Las Vegas, Nev. Mrs. Jean Wilson, head of and Sports Club, said the club's attorney, Eddie D. Smith, would ask a federal court Tuesday to stop the fight from being held anywhere but in Detroit. Journal Clay, 25, and Patterson.

32, heavyweight champion, had been negotiat- ing with and to stage the fight in Detroit. It was announced Tuesday that the fight will be held in Las Vegas April 25, leading i to speculation that the Detroit suit would be filed. "We feel that there is some; sort of conspiracy," said Mrs. Wilson. "We feel that Mr.

Muhammad Ali's camp interfered with our completing a contract with Mr. Patterson." LINCOLN, NEBRASKA APR. 4, PAGE 13 Clay, who prefers to be; called Muhammad Ali, i Muslim name, stopped Patterson in 12 rounds at Las Vegas Nov. 22, 1965. Clay's last title defense was March 22 when he knocked out Zora Folley in the seventh round at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The Las Vegas fight will be shown on closed circuit television in the United States and a a a and will be beamed via satellites to Japan and parts of Europe. It would be Clay's 10th title defense and his eighth in the last 13 months. Smith said Clay had asked for and been promised a $150,000 guarantee by and J. Patterson was offered 20 per cent of the gate and $2,500 for a i i expenses, he said. But Smith said Patterson's managers demanded a guarantee of $60,000 against 20 per cent of the gross gate, plus training expenses.

First Since 1930's Ehlers Clears Lanes for 299 By RILEY HALL If there is a weekly prize awarded for the most improvement in a person's bowling game Jim Ehlers is a sure fire winner. Friday night he hit the Parkway Lanes for a whopping 399 series but then came back for a 299 game at Plaza on Monday night. "It's really hard to explain," Ehlers said. "I guess it was just one of those nights when 1 got the 399 series. I couldn't seem to do anything right." But he did everything right Monday.

He posted 11 strikes before leaving a solid seven pin in the 12th frame for the city's first 299 since the early 1930's. The big game is worth $100 In prize money from the lanes plus a gift from the American Bowling Congress. Bernie Kossek, city bowling secretary, said the last 299s in his memory were at the old Lincoln Alleys when Garold Jones and Scott Dye both left a pin in the final frame. "I find it hard to believe," Ehlers said. "I have been trying to concentrate more on my game but I didn't dream of shooting a game like this.

Jim Ehlers Fires 299 "They were all good hits with the exception of Brooklyn which I was fortunate enough to carry in the ninth," Ehlers explained. "I was a little deep on some but they carried for me. "I can sure use the $100," Ehlers said. "I plan to go to Miami in about two weeks for the ABC tournament and it will help pay the expenses." The game was the second highest score bowled in Lincoln this season. Max Jensen fired a 300 earlier in the year to top the city scoring list.

Joey Rathe Rathe Inks NU Letter Joey Rathe, the 6-4'i jumping jack from Sterling, became the first high school basketball player to sign a letter of intent with the University of a a Tuesday morning. Rathe, who will probably be the only Ncbraskan to attend NU on a full scholarship, was signed by aide Ed Stevens. Joey was a two-time Class All-State selection in The Lincoln Sunday Journal and Star and is the state high school Class high jump champion, leaping 6-1. As a senior the of Mr and Mrs. Norman Rathe averaged 28.4 points per game and 18 rebounds.

He was a f3.7 per cent field goal shooter and hit. 78.2 from the free throw line. 1 K. C. Jones A Believer Boston Wilt Chamberlain and the Philadelphia 76ers are finally playing together instead of fighting each other says K.

C. Jones, and the result is the most serious threat in nine years to the Boston Celtics, perennial Xational Basketball Association champions. "It's not just Wilt; the attitude of the whole club has changed," the Celtics' defensive ace said Tuesday as his reeling team looked ahead to the third game of the Eastern Division final playoffs at Philadelphia Wednesday. The 76ers have won the first two games in the best-of-7 series. "This year for the first time they're helping one another, complementing one another, instead of bickering on court the way they used to," Jones said.

"This has put them on the road to success." said the 7-foot-l Chamberlain appears to have more confidence in his teammates and much more desire than in the past.
