12 J.U. 30 1961--PM. J(Miranl and Ntbrukg Jownil May Be Wrong By Dick Becker Journal Sports Editor Nebraska's quarterback next fall wori't be Bobby Layne or Johnny Unitas--but he'll play like them. Leagues To See Changes A Family Pride Jennings igs plans to use the NU quarterback more for hand-offs and passing in 1961 like the pros. This is, of course, because of the departure of Pat Fischer.

With will-o-the-wisp Fischer on hand Jennings used his quarteback more as a runner. That ended when Pat finished his Varsity career. When the Huskers go into spring training on April 10, Jennings and his staff will put heavy emphasis on offense. "I think we will spend a lot more time on offense," Jennings declared, "more than we did last year." He plans on using the formation with all of its variations with considerable attack from the double wing which was so effective in the final two games of the 1960 season. Quarterback Scrap The search for the top quarterbacks will be one of the primary objects of spring drills.

Jennings has Ron Meade and John Faiman returning from last fall along with Dennis Claridge who sat out the season after an early season injury. Also red-shirted was Ernie Bomstall. This quartet will 'be bolstered by Ron Galbreath of Sidney, freshman in 1959, who returned to school last fall but was not eligible for varsity play. There are also some frosh quarterbacks. Jennings also feels that finding help at center for Mick Tmglehoff will be a big job.

Tinglehoff and the departing Don Fncke gave NU a fine one-two punch at the pivot last X31Z. Schedule Starts Later Looking to the future, Jennings believes the 1961 schedule will be better for the over-all season. "Last year we opened on Sept. 17 with Texas," he ex- et This meant that we had to off early. While this undoubtedly helped us beat Texas, it probably was costly as the season went along.

"This year we don't open until Sept. 24, giving us another week of practice. I believe this can be tailored to our work much nicer." The spring dates also are better with no interruption of Easter vacation.

The Rockets (7-3) travel to Grand Mand Saturday night for their only game this week end. Lincoln High and Southeast fell short in their games with Islanders.

The rest of city's cagers will be busy twice. University High (6-4) hosts Hebron Friday night and travels to Crete Both are crucial Class contests for the Tutors. Lincoln High (3-6) and Southeast (4-6) collide at the PSA Building Friday night to end the series of intra-city games. Southeast plays at home Saturday against Fairbury while Lincoln High goes to Omaha North. Pius (6-4) rounds out the week's slate with a home tilt Friday against Omaha Bishop Ryan and a Saturday trip to high-flying Syracuse.

All local games begin at 8 p.m. The minor sport scene is highlighted by Mid-East Conference meets in gymnastics and swimming. Southeast and Northeast will compete in both. New leaders may show up this week in the state's 3 college conference basketball races. In the Nebraska College Conference, where Kearney and Peru are currently deadlocked with 5-1 records, only one of the two teams will keep the top position.

Peru can take a short lead when it plays at Doane Thursday. But Kearney may knot it up again Friday at Hastings. The outcome of the Wesleyan-Peru a on Saturday will settle the hash. Northwestern, la. and Midland tangle at Fremont Friday night to decide which team will lead the Tri-State Conference.

Both are unbeaten thus far. The same situation conies up i a at Scottsbluff where McCook JC and Scottsbluff JC meet in a battle of unbeaten 5 JC Conference teams.

Gary Player with almost machine-like accuracy scored 6 birdies in his final round Sunday to come from 4 strokes behind leaders George Bayer and Ted Kroll to win by two strokes, in a pouring rainstorm. The 25-year-old Johannesburg star on his 7th American tour since 1955-ttnished 12 strokes under par for his 4 rounds, taking a total of only 272 strokes. Bayer, the 240-pound ex-Washington football player who shared the lead through rounds, shot even par 71 in a fight for top money, but he couldn't cope with par-busting young Player's sensationa -birdie shooting in the rain. Bayer settled for a total 274 while Kroll, the tourna ment veteran who had started the last round tied for the lea with Bayer, fell back to 276. Don Whitt came up strong over the Harding Park mire with a 5-under-par 56 to tie Bayer at 274.

The two collected $3,800 each. Starting the final round in the rain anyone of a half dozen name players were in posi- ion to take first But they trailed at the finish.

Currently it is Bob (Bitzy) Buettgenbach, great-nephew of Walt, who excites Peru fans with his scoring.

The younger Buettgenbach, a graduate of Beatrice High School, is currently leading the scoring parade in the Nebraska College Conference. The 6-8 pivot man has filled the gap left by the graduation of Bob Mayo. In 14 games this season, Bob has cut the cords for 278 points.

iohn Barnum In 1921, Peru changed from a two-year to a 4-year school. As a two-year school, the college allowed Peru High school athletes to play on college earns, hence Buettgenbaeh's tenure. During Buettgenbaeh's play 'or the grid Bobcats, Peru won the Nebraska Conference once and posted a 5-season 32 vin, 8 loss and 2 tie record. During the 6 seasons Buett- genbach performed in basketball, the Peruvians won 86 and lost 10, and captured 5 straight Nebraska Conference titles. Since graduation from Peru State in 1926, Buttgenbach has devoted his life to teaching.

He is now teaching science in the Redmond (Ore.) High school.
