Lincoln Journal Star from Lincoln, Nebraska • Page 14

14 Friday. $0, Lincoln Evening Journal and Nebraska State Jouraal May Be Wrong By Dick Becker JMVM! Sports Editor If everything comes off the planning board in good order, Nebraska football fans can look forward to an enjoyable fall. While Bill Jennings drafted entirely new blueprints for the Corahuikers during spring training, the state engineers were going full Wast on the Interstate 80. This 4-lane colossus will be a boon to fans to the east of Lincoln, particularly Omahans. The department of roads expects the Interstate to be completed to Lincoln by late July or early August, in plenty of time for use for the first football game on Sept.

23 against North Dakota U. Access Next Move Omahans can get on Interstate 80 at Dodge, Pacific, Center or streets and come all the way to Lincoln. They will get off north of Lincoln, either at Waverly on U.S. 6, on U.S. 77 or on U.S.

34 near the Air Base. For a while, at least, they will still have to come in on Cornhusker Highway or down 10th or 14th. Speed limit on the Interstate is 75 m.p.h. The new road will relieve the congestion on U.S. 6 during the football rush, a part of the trip always distasteful to Omahans.

Next step which win benefit the grid fans comes in construction of the Lincoln access. Work has already begun on the interchange of the access and the main Interstate route; work will begin on the access itscU in August. Engineers say it will be late 1963 before this part is done. However, part of the access might be completed before then, enough to get traffic to 10th St. without coming down Cornhusker Highway.

An Earlier Start Completion of Interstate 80 from Omaha to Lincoln should clear the way for Nebraska's home football games to begin at 1:30 instead of 2. Most of the Big 8 schools have gone to 1:30 and all of the Big 10 has adopted that time. Refusal to change in the past at Lincoln has been mainly to allow Omaha fans time to get to the Capital City. But the new road along with pleading of the State Safety Patrol to get the football crowds headed home before dark, should be a big influence on University officials. Games wouldn't have to be completed in the shadows.

And any moves toward traffic safety should be of prime interest to all Nebraskans. DA's Fix Probing May Reach College Football New York (tf) Extension of the grand jury term to Dec. 29 increased speculation Friday that district attorney Frank Hogan's investigation of fixes in college basketball would move onto college football. The DA's office, as usual, would make no comment Baseball is Item grand jury's term, came in the wake of the indictment of New York lawyer Charles Tucker as a 9th alleged fixer in the 3-month old basketball mess. Reports, however, have been circulating that football would--or has--come under scrutiny ever since the ar- lator back on Mar.

The star Dave At Altus Oklahomans Nip Gerry's By Conde Sargent A 3-game baseball tour of Nebraska, though tiring to his team, was a kind of old home week for Delbert Holt, manager of the Altus, Junior Legion baseball team. Holt's team wound up a successful week in Husker- land Thursday night with a 5-4 Sherman Field victory over dogged Gerry's of Lincoln.

Previous wins were over Hastings and McCook. But for Holt it marked the return to the state where he once played a lot of baseball, "a few years ago" for Valentine in the Basin League. Holt, a pitcher in those days who still fires a hard one to his kids in batting practice, was an Oklahoma U. star. Baseball is a going item in Altus.

The club is used to playing before 500 fans at home, a far cry from the near 50 in the stands Thursday. But it is a hotbed for baseball and especially noted for rearing the McDaniel boys --Lindy, Von, and Kerry--for the St. Louis Cardinals. Kerry, the youngest at 18, would have appeared at Sher- mantown Thursday if he hadn't signed a $50,000 contract with the Cardinals re- I cently. i The town has produced other pro baseball players.

For instance, Eddie Fisher, San Francisco pitched on the same Legion team with Lindy. Holt had a lot to do with Kerry's pitching success. He had the youngest McDaniel two previous years. And the next bonus lad-also a hurler--just might be Ronald Crabbe, a skinny left- hander, who saved the day Thursday with 3 innings of sterling relief. He blanked Gerry's the last 3 frames after the Lincolnites had threatened to upset the Okies.

Crabbe displayed an exceptional curve.

Healthy George Altman Could Be Just What Cubs Doctor Ordered Chicago (ffi The National League's current batting king isn't ready to write a book on how to belt baseballs out of the reach of opposing players. "It's too early to tell I just may be in a hitting streak," says the Chicago Cubs' George Altman. Altman, 6-feet-4, 200-pound outfielder, virtually came up out of nowhere this year -his 3rd in major league competition.

He has been a key figure in the recent transformation of the 7th-place Cubs from an eager but ineffectual baseball club to a fence-busting aggregation reminiscent of the New York Yankees of yesteryears. The Cubs, in their 4-game series i the National a leading Cincinnati Reds, scored a total of 46 runs, including 13 homers. The Reds who won the opener a dropped the others, had 25 runs, including 6 homers. Altman, in the finale Thursday, belted a homer, his 12th of the season, a single and a sacrifice fly to boost his batting average to .352. He drove across 4 runs in Chicago's 15-8 victory.

Altman, a strong rightfield candidate for next month's All-Star game, batted .529 in the 4-game series and is .448 weight. He weighs just 140 Wagman, since indicted on 0un( 37 counts of bribery and at-j centerfielder Gary Haas' tempted bribery in the bas- single in he 7th was the only ketball scandal, was free on bail when Hogan first moved.

Bribery charges against Budin eventually were dismissed but he was convicted on charge of registering under a false name at a motel. Thursday's basketball disclosures, which brought the current scandal to a countdown of 37 players from 22 colleges involving 48 games, named Tucker on 3 counts of hit off Crabbe. He struck out 6 men to get the win.

Haas drove in two runs with two more sharp hits and Joe Gaughan's booming triple to right-center kept Gerry's going until Crabbe mopped up. More baseball lies ahead for Altus (21 wins, 6 losses).

Time Out "You mean you're asking me to expectorate in the presence of ladies?" Bears Sign Rugged Three Chicago USH--Fred Williams, Joe Fortunato and Maury Youmans, who formed a rugged left sector of the Chicago Bears' defensive line last season, will return intact as a trio this fall. Coach George Halas announced the signing Friday of Williams, 248 pound, 6-foot- 4 left tackle, up his 10th National Football League campaign, and Fortunato, 225- pound, 6-feet-l left linebacker who will be starting his 7th season. Youmans, 235- pound. 6-feet-6 rookie at left end, signed his contract last December. against Cincinnati pitching this season.

How does he do it? "I just keep swinging, that's all," he says. Reminded that the swinging technique doesn't work for all who try, Altman said that his improved health might be a key factor. He had been plagued by injuries and illness since he was moved up to the Cubs roster from their Pueblo farm club during spring training in 1959. He became infected with mononueleosis, a blood disease that hung on, the winter before last, and played most of the last year on an injured ankle. "It affected my pivot," he said, "and I couldn't hit inside pitches." He batted .245 for the Cubs in 1959 and .266 last year.

Altman uses a bottle type bat favored by Rogers Hornsby during his playing days in the 1920s. It weighs 32 ounces and is 36 inches long. Altman, a soft-spoken, 28- year-old Negro, was graduated from Tennessee A. I. University in 1955, and worked as a substitute elementary school teacher in Chicago's public school system last January.

He and his wife have one daughter. The Cubs winning streak has been so impressive that Ernie Banks, their ailing home run king for the last several seasons, won't return to the lineup as originally planned. "We hate to disturb a winning lineup," explained coach Elvin Tappe, "and a little more rest won't hurt Banks." Banks has been suffering from an injured knee and took himself out of the lineup a week ago. Kansas City (ft Rex Cawley, University of Southern California sophomore, topped national collegiate individual track and field statistics for 1961, the NCAA's final report for the spring a a i showed Friday.
