TKO Ruling Filipino Flash Protests Saddler's Ring Tactics By CHRIS EDMONDS SAN FRANCISCO customary post-fight hassle involving a Sandy Saddler bout buzzed here better, no worse than the wake of the featherweight technical knockout of Filipino Flash Elorde Wednesday night.

POINT BLANK it it ft By Don Bryant Sports Editor, The Star An initial in grass-roots Cornhuskering has been taken by the University of Nebraska Alumni Club, an able group composed of former Husker lettermen. referring to the Pete luncheon planned for next Wednesday noon at the Corn- husker Hotel. The idea was fostered that Pete would like to meet his new fellow citizens and they would like to meet their new football coach. But who should sponsor the public affairs get-together? That was the question. Someone came up with the idea that the Alumni Club was the logical group.

And the choice was ideal because it fits right in with the new era of thinking concerning Nebraska athletics. University in belong to the people of the state, not Just this group or that. Athletic Director Bill Orwig is fostering the feeling and Pete Elliott has expressed his deep conviction that must pitch on the new job. In the past there have been such time-worn phrases as Street thrown about with reckless abandon. What was sight of was that Lineoln businessmen were the loyal supporters of Cornhu.sker letics, fair weather and foul.

The local shop-keepers will contfaiue to help the Huskers within the prescribed limits, just MS they have in the past not because they stand to profit by it personally but because they want the university to prosper. This goes without saying. But Nebraska needs the of every citizen, from the top dog in Omaha to the man on the street in the smallest community. That's the objective of the atb- letic department the Man a philosophy, to paraphrase the Kansas State pep yell. It was for this reason that the Alumni Club wanted to promote the luncheon for Elliott, want everyone who wants of who he have a chance to President Harry Meginnis says.

only 420 can attend because the space is limited, but tickets are available on public sale and it a closed Treasurer Bob McNutt adds, certainly have no axe to grind and this a moneymaking venture. We feel that a lot of people want to meet Pete and this is a good way for them guy, big or do Many times fn the past, private or semi-limited groups have had first call on such events. doubt these groups will hold later meetings with Elliott and other members of the department and proper and desired by everyone. But particularly fitting that initial introduction to fans will be an open-to-the-public affair, with everyone having chance to attend. And appropriate that the Alumni former Husker sponsoring the event.

It should be the first step in creating tht returning to the that every citizen of Nebraska has a stake in the athletic programs, just as they have in the academic progress.

State Prep Showdown Set Tonight By RON GIBSON Star Sports Staff Something of a showdown among Class AA high school basketball powers is in the offing tonight and Saturday night. Although Grand Island and Scottsbluff, the top-rated Cla.s.s clubs, have an easy draw tonight some of the contenders are involved in important games.

Among these games are Creighton Prep vs. Omaha South Friday night and South vs. Northeast Saturday, Boys Town at Lincoln Friday; and Grand Island at North Platte Saturday.
