Baseballers Defeat Kansas
Staters 5-0 in First Game
By Bob Banks
Sophomore Dick McCormick
shut out the Kansas State Wild
cats on four hits Monday as Ne
braska won the opening game 5-0.
McCormick was effective in
racking up his second win of the
season. He gave up only two
free passes and struck out the
came number.
The Huskers scored their five
runs on a total of ten hits. They
broke the scoring column in the
first Inning when Bob Diers
doubled and crossed the plate on
another two bagger by Jerry
Dunn.
But he died on base when first
baseman Ray Mladovich grounded
out.
Nebraska had its big inning in
the fifth when three runs were
scored.
Catcher Bob Lohrberg ground
ed out but McCormick started
things off with a single. Bobby
Eeynolds laid down a perfect bunt
which Wilcat third baseman uer
aid Woody momentarily bobbled
andthen overthrew at lirst base,
McCormick Scores
McCormick scored on the error
and Reynolds got to third. Mo
ments later he engineered a suc
cessful steal and brought the
scoreboard up to 3-0.
The combination of Diers and
Dunn scored the fourth Nebraska
run.
Diers drew a base on balls, stole
second and rounded home on
Dunn's second two base hit.
The last run came in the sev
enth when Johnny Rego opened
with a single. He advanced to
6econd on another bunt by Rey
nolds. Mladovich drove him in
with a double.
The Kansas Staters had their
biggest chance when Ed Robinson
singled and was safe at second on
an error by Reynolds. Woods drew
a walk, and the two runners ad
vanced to within striking distance
of home when McCormick threw
a wild pitch. But Terry Schnit
ker snuffed out the threat when
he grounded out.

in spite of the ten hits which Ne

men and had eight strikeouts to
his credit.
Two Errors
Bobby Reynolds scored two
errors and afield and shortstop
Bill Jensen got one on an over
throw. The only Kansas State error
came on a bad throw by the
Kansas State third baseman.
Dun led the Nebraska attack
with his two doubles. Ray
Mladovich and Bill Fitzgerald
also contributed two base hits.
Second baseman Bob Bremner
collected two of the Wildcat
singles. The other two were hit
by Dick Johnson and Ed Robin
son. Coach Tony Sharpe's crew

Laz, Cooper
Buddy, Buddy
Meet Saturday
Don Laz of Illinois says his de
sire to outdo a friend 1,500 miles
away inspired him to a record
outdoor pole vault of 15 feet 1
inches.
The 20-year-old Illini senior
also suggested rather modestly
that the record may be due for
further revising when he and Ne
braska's Don Cooper meet at Des
Moines, la., this coming week
end in the Drake Relays.
For Cooper, while performing
Saturday in the Kansas Relays,
bettered the Intercollegiate out
door standard with a vault of 15
feet Va inch.
However, the record remained
less than two hours after it was
announced in Los Angeles Me
morial Coliseum where Southern
California beat Illinois and Mich
igan in a three-way meet.
Cooper Overshadows
"I think that loudspeaker an
nouncement had something to do
with it," Laz declared later. Then
he told how he often had felt
overshadowed by Cooper since
their frosh days.
Laz said he and Cooper were
good friends but "I've always
wanted to beat Cooper more than
anybody else."
"I still remember one meet we
were both in. One little kid keptl
following me around all day and
asking for my autograph. He
thought I was Don Cooper. And
I couldn't convince him other
wise." Yaz, who has a mild voice and
hair the color of sawdust, would
not calculate his chance of bet
tering Cornelius Warmerdam's
world pole vault record of 15
feet T3,k inches. "But you can say
I'll improve as the season gets
older," he predicted.
Prospects of Winning
What are his prospects of beat
ing Cooper this week-end? "Well,
he's faster and stronger than I
am, but I have the advantage in
height. It ought to be close."
Las and Don McEwen, Michi
gan distance runner, grabbed
most of the individual honors. As
was expected, University of
Southern California posted its
441st consecutive track and field
victory.
Southern Cay performers fin
ished no worse than second in
every event. They won seven
firsts and piled up 75 points to
41 for Illinois and 35 for Michigan.

'Moose' Does It;
In History to To
Nebraska s Don Cooper became
the fourth man in the history of
sports to clear 15 feet in the pole
vault.
He did it Saturday at the Kan
sas Relays with inch to spare
and briefly held a new intercol
legiate record.
But Don Laz of Illinois vaulted
15 feet 1 inches at Los Angeles
to break Cooper's record.
Cooper made his record in 45
degree weather against a strong
wind while Laz was performing
in the California sunshine.
The Nebraska senior's record
can be considered as the great
est in Midwest history.
Select Group
And he joins Laz, Bob Rich
ards, and Cornelius Warmerdam
in the select group of 15 feet
performers.
Of these four, only Warmer
dam had managed to clear the
height outdoors until Cooper and
Laz did it Saturday.
Cooper can also be considered
as the first collegian to clear the
mark outdoors.
Warmerdam did not vault 15
feet in college, and Laz compet
ed two hours later than Cooper.
Southern California's Earle
Meadows and Bill Sefton held
the old 'Intercollegiate record of
14-11.
Warmerdam holds the world
outdoor record of 15 feet 73A
inches.
Cooper first broke the Kansas
Relays record of 14 feet 6 inches.
Clears 15 Feet
Then he made his tremendous
leap of 15 feet V inch,, but .he.
missed hree times at 15 feel 3
inches.
Cooper and Laz will have a
chance for a personal duel Sat
urday when they meet at the
Drake Relays.
This marks the ninth time
Cooper has topped the 14 foot
height.
He set a new indoor mark
from a dirt runway of 14 feet
9'4 inches in a recent meet
against Colorado.
In high school he won two
gold medals at the state track
meets. He vaulted 11 feet I3
inches in 1943 and repeated the
following year with a 12 feet 6Y4
inch effort.
Cooper won the Big Seven in
door and outdoor vault titles in
1947 and was in a three-way tie
for the indoor championship in
1948.
Team Man
He sacrificed a good chance
for the 1951 indoor title in order
to win valuable points in the 60
yard dash and help his team
mates win the team title.
He finished second to Len
Kehl with a 13 feet 3 inch vault.
Kehl won the title at 13 feet 62

UP AND OVER .... Husker tfole-vaulter Don Cooper held the
world's collegiate record for two-short hours Saturday. He is one
of four men ever to clear the magic 15 feet.
Son of Tiger
Coach Good
Future Hurdler
George Simpson, son of Mis
souri's backfield coach, reached
the first big milestone in his
hurdling career last weekend by
winning his high-hurdle race in
an invitational meet at Central
College.
A junior at Hickman high
school, Simpson sped to victory
in the time of :07.8 seconds
one-tenth of a second faster than
the exisiting Class A record. His
time, however, is not a new
mark since it wasn't recorded in
a state meet.
With that effort, "Seabiscuit"
as his mother kiddingly dubbed
year George last year when he
first started hurling began to
earn his sobriquet.
T:
The Brooklyn Dodgers and
Boston Braves hooked up in a
real old-fashioned pitcher's duel
Monday afternoon and waged
warfare for 16 innings before
the Dodgers rallied to win 2-1.
Carl Furillo, whose homer in the
tenth inning had beaten the
Giants Sunday, again clouted the
winning blow. Furillo blasted a
Warren Spahh pitch off the left
field wall tc score Billy Cox
from third.
Cox had reached third after
singling and advancing on an
error on Brave third sacker,
Gene Mauch.
Until then, it was anybody's
contest. Spahn and Dodger Joe
Hatten had hurled magnificent
ball for 11 innings, Hatten was
relieved by Erv Palica after
lefty Joe had walked the first
two men he faced in the 12th
frame. Palica hurled for one and
two-thirds innings and then de
parted for a pinch-hitter. Clyde
King then came on and flipped
the final four frames and was
awarded the win.
All The Way
Spahn went the distance for
the Braves. He lost his bid for
a no-hitter in the fifth when
Dodger first baseman walloped
the ball into the lower stands to
tie the game at 1-1. The scor
ing stopped right there until the
16th.
Spahn had terrific control
throughout the game and walked
only two men over the 16 in
ning stretch, one intentionally.
He picked two Dodgers off first
base, including Jackie Robinson.
Only two Dodgers were left on
the bases which is remarkable.
The win was the fifth in six
games for the Bums and left
them in first place in the senior
loop. The Brave record now
stands at 4-4.
Werts Homers
Detroit's Vic Wertz lashed out
a three-run homer in the last
of the ninth to give the Tigers
a 7-4 decision over the hapless
St. Louis Browns.
The Brownies jumped on
Tiger starter Trout for three tal
lies in the first period but
couldn't hold back the tide.
Ginsberg and Mullen each
clouted a four-bagger to join
Wertz in the Tiger fold.
The win gives the Detroiters a
2-4 record to date, boosting
them out of the American league
cellar. The Browns are now last
with the Philadelphia A's.
The Chicago Cubs continued
in second place in the National
league by edging the Pittsburgh
Pirates, 2-1. A double by Andy
Pafko in the last of the ninth
drove in Hank Sauer with th
winning run.
Fateful Ninth
Going into the final stanza.
Pirate hurler Mel Queen had
pitched three-hit ball, but sur
rendered the two fateful blows
in the ninth after retiring the
first two men in order.
Wayne Terwilliger gave th
Cubs their first tally with a
home run.
The New York Yankees
pounded the Philadelphia Ath
letics for 13 hits but could man
age only a 5-4 win. The A'S
frightened the world-champs
with ' a two-run uprising in the
top of the ninth, but rookie
Mickey Mantle came through
again to provide the Yanks with
the winning tally in their half
of the ninth.
The Yank victory, their fifth
in seven starts, gives them a
firm grasp on fourth place in the
junior loop.
