April 7, 1957 MNt OLX SI NDAV JOURVAL AND STAR 3-B Weary Alums Think NU Gerald Ferguson be gins touchdown run. An Alum teammate throws a key blor By LEO SCHERER Staff Sports Writer It was a weary and disappointed band of Alumni footballers who trudged into their dressing room after losing a heart-breaking 22-20 game to the Nebraska Varsity Saturday. And why not? They had come from all of to again seek victory over the college Cornhuskers. They fought galantly against the youngsters but were conquered. Most of the pldtimers just sat quietly with a bottle of pop or cigarette in their hands.

Defeat is hard to face. However, the Alums took nothing away from the 1957 Nebraska Varsity. Good Carl Samueison, the Alums 280- pound defensive lineman, summed up the oldtimers feeling with this; Huskers could have a good season they were a lot tougher than last year. I think the coaches are making Alum Ed Husmann, now of the (fhicago Cardinals, agreed. He said: were pretty tough, especially on kickoif returns.

Their blocking was also good on quick And Co-Coach Tom Novak varsity was blocking real good all But the comical ex-Husker great quickly added: It may be I am ju.st getting Varsitv halfback Leo George had a few words to say about Novak. have never yet hit someone knock over I hit Novak on one play and he not only fall over, he just Of course, some of the sagging in the dressing I room left the impression that the oldtimers were far from top shape for the game. However, members of Var; sity failed to agree. Fellows like, Novak, Verl Scott, Bill Schabacker, Moon Mullen, Gerald Fergitson, Rex Fischer, Ralph Damkroger, Dennis Emanuel, Samueison, and others dealt them plenty of misery before los- I ing. I Two-in-a-Kow It was evident from the start that the Alums wanted to make it two in a row.

Strasheim hurt his right knee in the first half and had to finish the game on the sidelines.

However, I the hobbling Husker call it an afternoon and continued to help with the coaching chores. Equipment Manager Floyd Bottorff commented on injury. He said: old Stras is just teaching those youngsters too much Clowning Remarks Although the horseplay by the oldsters was held to a minimum, the Alumni tossed at each other and the Varsity the entire afternoon. Some of the remarks were: Sam Vacanti (after missing his first field want to kick it too hard might break i the Carl Samueison (when Vacanti happened Sam?

One of the more gentle comments: because old men you don't have to take advantage of llusker Travelers Alums Syl Harris and Jerry Minnick had to do considerable traveling to play in the Varsity- battle.

Harris came from New York where he is attending Columbia University. Syl is now working on his masters degree in physical therapy. First Lieutenant Jerry Minnick now of the United States Air Force flew in Saturday from Victoria, where he is now stationed. I ttoth Alums saw plenty of action, i Yards of Protection Again Co-Coach Tom Novak and Moon Mullen insisted that their team was in the superior physical condition even though the most frequently heard cry during the afternoon was the Trainer Paul Schneider, however, failed to agree with the Alum bosses. He said that his assistant had used over 1,000 yards of tape just to get the oldtimers on the field.

Samueison, the Alumni's answer to Paul Bunyan, gained the distinction of using the most tape. When the trainers were finished with him, the 280 pounder looked like an Egyptian mummy. Evashevski Tabs Big 10 Aid CINNCINNATI Forrest Ev- ashevaski, coach of Ro.se Bowl football champions, Saturday called the Big new code governing aid to athletes communistic in Evashevshi discussed the new code in an interview w-hile here to speak at the annual University of Cincinnati football coaching clinic.

He went to the 9-yard line where he was hit and fumbled. Denny Korinek alertly picked up the ball on the run and raced in for the score. Just moments later Jim Hergen- reter fumbled and Bill Schabackerj recovered for the Alumni on the Varsity 26.

Smith uncoiled his power This 26-yard blast wound up in the end zone. That made it 13-7 lor the dd- timers. The Varsity came back with a long drive but the Alums finally held for downs. A personal foul put the ball on the one-yard line. On the first play Art Klein broke through and spilled Gordie Englert for a safety to make it 13-9.

Those two points were to decide the ball game. Alert Fielding The second of only two Varsity fumbles was again pounced on by Schabacker shortly before the end of the first half. The Alums took over on their own 48. Ferguson used the trap play for 20 yards. He added 14 more to the 18.

Vacanti ran for four and then misfired on two passes. On fourth down Ferguson ripped over his right side and went in standing up. It was the pet trap play again. Vacanti booted the extra point and it was 20-9 at halftime. In the first half Smith carried twice for 52 yards and Ferguson four times for 69 yards.

But the Alums were done scoring. Losing Gamble Early in the third period the oldtimers gambled and lost on fourth down on their own 48. The Varsity quickly took advantage, marching the 48 yards in 12 plays. A freak play saw Harshman passing the final five yards to Naviaux for the score. An Alum batted the ball but Naviaux made' a diving catch.

Harshman kicked the extra point. Soph Ray Engel of South Sioux City produced the deciding break when he broke through and blocked punt and fell on the ball on the Alumm 18. All of the Alum power was rushed into the game. Ted Doyle Carl Samueison Ed Kosmann of the Chicago Cardinals, Don Boll (28.5) of the Washington Redskins, Tom Novak of Husker fame and Bob Mullen (235), another defensive specialist, manned the forward wall. Zaruba Hurled Against this barricade the Huskers hurled Carroll Zaruba, the returning serviceman from Fullerton, Six plays were run.

Zaruba carried five times. Just when it looked like the Alums would hold, Zaruba slipped outside right end for the winning touchdown on a five-yard effort. Vacanti led the final try in the last two minutes and his strikes carried to the Varsity 32. But from there a fourth-dowm field goal was just a shade wide. Outstanding for the Varsity were Ends Hilding, Lee and Engel, Backs Naviaux and Zaruba and Quarterback Harshman.

The Alums had a number of guys who belied their age with fine performances. Among them were Bill Schabacker, Novak, Ralph Damkroger, Rex Fischer, Ferguson, Smith, Verl Scott mid the grand old man Vacanti. VARSITV Hilding, Ray Engel, Dave SwarU, Guy Sapp, Bill Tuning. Clarence Cook. Mike Lee.
