A glance at the batting aver
ages of the University of Ne
braska baseball team after their
first two-game series shows that
catcher Bill Kinnamon paces the
Husker batsmen with an average
bf .750. Two pitchers, Dick Lebbs
and Jim Weiss, have perfect rec
ords, but each has been at bat
only once.
Included In Kinnamon's three
hits in four official appearances
at the plate is a home run. The
circuit clout came in Friday's
game with Colorado which went
to the Huskers by a 10 to 0 count.
Shortstop Wes Maser and out
fielder Truck Williams are next
in line with marks of .375, which
serve to boost the team average
to a respectable .292 level.

The Colorado pitching was def
intiely not top quality, however,
so the Husker marks are due for
a deflation when Coach Smagacz
sends his team against the power
ful Unniversity of Minnesota crew
this weekend in Minneapolis.
With the facilities of a field
house at their disposal, the Goph
ers have been working out since
early this year, but the weather
up north was such that they were
unable to play outside until late
March.
Nebraska's pitching staff weath
ered its first test in fine style,
and Smagacz gave six different
moundsmen a chance to show
their wares. Big Jim Sandstedt
and Tap Jacob held the Colorado
team to three hits in the opener
Friday, while Wally Scheef went
the first four frames Saturday
without giving up a run. Only
Letty Ford Stork got into trou
ble, and even this was not seri
ous, but the Husker margin was
slim and Jacob was rushed in to
stem the Colorado rally.
On the defensive side the Ne
fraska infield showed flashes of
real team play, such as the cutoff
play on Friday when Bobby Ru
bino forced the Colorado runner
on third base to try for a score
after tatcher Bill Kinnamon had
tossed to second base as a CU
runner attempted a steal.
Rubino's throw to Kinnamon
cut off the threat and discour
aged any wide-open baserunning
on the part of the Buffalos.

weeks of spring practice remain
ing, Husker football candidates
continue to work on the timing
and faking necessary for a suc
cessful use of the "T" formation.
More Contact Work.
Head Coach Bernie Masterson
has indicated that tthe eridders
will have more contact work In
the future, altho drills the rest
of this week will stick close to the
formula of the -past few days.
Plenty of practice on individual
blocking assignments, as well as
an increased emphasis on varia
tions of the fundamental "T"
plays are on the program.
Masterson hopes to have a
scrimmage Saturday afternoon to
give his crew of quarterbacks a
chance to operate in actual game
situations. He has not named any
definite lineups for the Saturday
session.
Cletus Fischer, St. Edward
sparkplug -who was improving
rapidly at the close of the 1945
season, was in suit, but did not
don pads. The elusive halfback

boils at the beginning of the
spring practice period and has
been unable to report for action.
