Nebraska's hopes of a repeat
baseball title took another jolt
Monday afternoon as veteran Jack
Dean, Kansas State hurler, limit
ed the Husker sluggers to four
hits as he chalked up a 4 to 0 vic
tory for the Wildcats.
Kansas State started the scor
ing in the fifth inning as tiny
Dana Atkins, Wildcat second
sacker, smacked out a home run
with one man on base. The Kan
sans added another marker in the
fifth on a single by Jack Niel
son and a double by Al Sheriff.
The Wildcats picked up their final
run in the eighth on three errors
and a single by Dick Johnson.
Dean was in trouble twice dur
ing the game, fanning 11 men
during his stint. In the fifth canto
the Huskers put men on second
and third but couldn't get a run
across. In the ninth Nebraska
filled the bases but Dean ended
the game by striking out the next
Husker batter.
The two teams met Tuesday in
the second gnme of the series.
The Huskers split their first se
ries at Lincoln with the Wildcats.
