N V Tuesggy, March 5, 1940 7 7 lettermen back for baseball ut pitching staff is new Nebraska's baseball success this spring will fall to a great extent on an entirely new pitching staff from the one last year's Huskers, who were third in the Big Six final standings, possessed. Coach Wilbur Knight is expect- ing a great deal from Sid Held, Bophomore basketball star, and a fine pitching prospect. Ed Wib- bels will also report, and will di- vide his time between track and baseball. Wibbels, a fireball art ist, should help out the Huskers materially this year. New men, Harry Truscott, and Bob Searle of Omaha, Ernie wiae Pen as yet, with several new Swanson of Ceresco, and Bob candidates included Rohrig, con Garey, Lincoln, will also be bid- tending for it. ding for places on the staff.

Three football men who will re- port at the end of spring foot- ball drills which is before the first game against Luther April 18 are Clarence Herndon, Grand Is- land catcher; Hubert Knickrehm, Grand Island, first baseman; Her- man Rohrig, Lincoln, outfielder. Rohrig is an exceptionally fine prospect, having starred for sev- eral years in Lincoln amateur cir- cles. Veterans Schmode and Joyce are slated to take care of the catching position, but Cliff Hurley of Ohiowa, who played Ban Johnson ball last summer, is a good sopho- more prospect. Rubino will be given another try at first to where he was moved from third last year, but will encounter some stiff com- petition from Lloyd Kronick, good- ITT By June Bierbower. Spring drills have been post poned until March 11 at Oklahoma after Justin Bowers death. . . to correct an error in Sunday's track story, the world's indoor 60 yards record is 6.1 now Instead of 6.2 seconds as said story read. . . Those who saw Friday night's track meet got in on four of the most thrilling finishes you could wish for. . . first came in the mile when Harold Brooks staved off Ray Gahan who sneaked up on him after Brooks slowed up for Bill Cook to come in . . . next was In the 60 when Red Littler stuck his head across the tape first to win over Orv Matthews, who still can run . . . then Bill Smutz beat Jack Morris in the highs although Morris led over the last hurdle. . . and finally. Brooks fought past Bill Lyda In the final stages of the 880 to win. Al Blozls, Georgetown's shot putter, first threw the Bhot when he was watching his high school team practice. . . one heave just about hit him. . . it made him so angry he picked up the shot and pitched it as he would a base ball. . . the coach saw him, and soon he was a shot putter. . . Bill Jennings, backfielder, and Cliff Speegle, center, will be tried out at ends during spring practice at Oklahoma. . . some of the Okia' homa lettermen are out to do away with the practice of loaning letter sweaters. . . it seems as though letter sweaters are loaned here, there and everywhere, and as a result many letter-wearers are not letter-earners. All the feminine basketball fans around here who sigh at the sight on Don Fitz will be glad Indeed to learn that their hero was named to the Missouri student's all confer ence glamour team at forward. Others were Jim McNatt, Okla homa, at forward; Wilbur Reed of Kansas. State at center; an John Logsiger and Bob Allen of Kan sas at guards. It's a good team, we ll grant, but w think Ralph Miller of KU Is prettier, ard every JWk bit ah glamorous as McNatu looking Sioux City prospect, Wilson and LeMaster are "in" at second and shirtstop, but third base is open, especially if Tegt- meier, who played there part time last year, stays in the outfield, and if Rubino is kept at first, Lance Ray, Nebraska City, sopho- more Ed Ockerman, Lincoln, or Vernon Thompsen, Ingham, may te tne one to break into the hot corner, while Ray Rssman, De- Witt, is another infield candidate.

The ATO's went through their League 2 schedule undefeated, as they won the championship in a low-scoring game from the Delts, 7-6. The game will pit two of the season's highest scorers in Schneider of the farmers and Petsch of the ATO's against each other. DU's play. Delta Upsilon and Farm House face each other for the League 3 title, as the two teams ended their seasons with but one defeat apiece. The DU's beat the Farm House, 16-15 in their game during the regular season, and tonight's bat tle is a tossup. Neurnberger has been pacing the DU's, while Knof- licek, Preston and Fitzgibbon have all played good ball for Farm House.

A postponed "A" game between Sigma Alpha Mu and Alpha Sigma Phi is scheduled tonight, but will have no effect on the champion ship in that league. Final class "B" games are also slated.
