THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Thursday, March 27, 1947 ru BJ JT IK E 02 U llCHlJYEr By George Uliller Page 6 Final addenda to the basketball season: Kansas university eagers se lected an all-spar team as well as an all-star team after they fin ished their campaign. The Jay- hawks seemed to have a penchant for getting into scrapes during their season, and were able to be selective in their choice of rival brawlers. Nebraska fans got a look at the KU team at its best during the Scarlet's narrow win in the sea son. A full scale riot marred the game. Charlie Black, .Taj hawks star, and Nebraska's Joe Loisel stood out in the milling. Not forgetting, of course, Hus ker trainer Elwyn Decs, who per formed yeoman service in the in tererts of preserving peace. C .. . ti.e hardest workers in the Nebraska spring athletic camp is Jim Sandstedt, regular pitcher on the baseball team last season. Jim received a badly twisted knee during the early stages of the basketball season and was in the hospital and on the sidelines for the rest of the cam paign. Still partially hobbled by the injury, Sandstedt has put in long hours jogging around the track to get the legs back in shape, and has not given up hope of returning to his first string spot on the base ball squad. While other baseball candidates engage in batting and fielding drills during the spring, Sandstedt is working on fielding ground 'balls in pepper games in an effort to regain the agility necessary for mound duty. If and when the Lincoln Wes tern league team possesses a home stadium, it is possible that the Scarlet baseball team will shift some of its home games to the Western League park. The existence of outfield fences would be a welcome change for . Nebraska flychascrs. In games played on the wide open stretches of. the present outfield, any ball .. that eluded an outfielded gave the batter a good chance of marking a complete tour of the bases. While on the baseball subject, - the Dale Mitchell who has shown to good advantage in the Cleve land Indians' spring training camp is the same powerful slugger who blasted home runs with abandon against Nebraska last spring while playing for Oklahoma. During the two game series Oklahoma hitters amassed five home runs and three triples. From, tiw looks of early foot ball drills, the Huskers will have a definite passing threat at almost every post in the backfield. Coach Bcrnie Masters n has been giving backfield candidates plays in which not only the quar terback but both halfbacks take to the sir. Some Ilusker followers would liked to have seen the same manuevers last fall, for Halfback Ray Long was a potent passing threat during his tenure in the T formation manuevering. x , 1 M' 1 V A- f BANTAMWEIGHT BATTLING Rav Roth (left) and Pee Wee Yambor mix it ud in their cham pionship bout in the 125 pound class in the university boxing finals.
