VISITORS HELD DOWN
TO THREE HITS ONLY
It was sweet revenge that the
Huskers took on Oklahoma yesterday
when they drubbed the Sooners, 10
to 1 in a slugfest at Rock Island
park. It was the Huskers' game from
the very first. Six Nebraskans
crossed the plate in the second and
the southerners never had a chance
after that. Their only counter came
in the seventh when Mayes, Sooner
right fielder, placed a pretty home
run over the fence.
B. Lang, Husker pitching ace,
who holds a record of two one-hit
games this season, was working well
and allowed but three hits. He struck
out nine Sooners. Swisher started
on the mound for Oklahoma, but
