In College Days Special
Nebraska's baseball Cornhusk
ers meet the University of
Wichita, weather permitting, in
two games Friday and Saturday
as part of the College Days sports
ieaiures. ine contests are sched
uled for 3 p.m.
It will be the third and fourth
games between the two schools
this year. The Huskers swept the
first two-game series at Wichita
by scores of 19-7 and 12-8. They
coppea tne second contest by
tallying eight runs in the last
three frames.
Batting stars for the Huskers
In those first two games were
bod jJiers, jack Shull, Bill Jen
sen and Bob Lohrburg. These
same four are sure to be in the
.Nebraska lineup either or both
days this week-end.
Diers led the batting parade
against tne Shockers with six hits
in ten times at bat. Included in
his six hits were a triple and a
double.
Homer By Shull
Shull clouted a four-bagger in
tne second game to spark the
Scarlet to their winning rally.
Jensen and Lohrberg batted well
over .300 during the series.
The Huskers picked up some
fine pitching against the Kansans,
also, and will throw the same at
the visitors. Gil Phelps and Bill
Anderson allowed Wichita but six
hits in the opener while George
Nutt and Dale Bunson gave up
only seven safeties in the finale.
The Husker pitching mainstays,
Dick McCormack and Del Kopf
will also be on hand and will
probably see action. McCormack
hurled a five-hit shutout at Kan
sas State last Monday and may be
saved until the next conference
contest.
Kopf May Start
Kopf, on the other hand has not
pitched since the finale at Law
rence, Kans., and will undoubted
ly get one of the starting nods.
Coach Tony Sharpe will prob
ably send the same starting line
up into the opening day fray.
N Third-baseman Johnny Rego
will lead off and followed by sec-ond-sacker
Bobby Reynolds.
Third man in the lineup is power
hitter Bob Diers who is leading

the Huskers in slugging to date.
Cleanup position will be ably
fiHed by left fielder Jerry Dunn.
Ray Mladovich, first base,
whose potent bat has been com
paratively silent this year will
be the number five hitter. Ray
will be followed by Bill Fitz
gerald in right field and Bill Jen
sen, shortstop.
Bob Lohrberg will probably get
the opening day nod at catcher
with Shull relieving or starting
the second contest.
Sanders Slug per
Dick Sanders, sophomore short
stop for the Shockers, will lead
the invaders in the two games.
He topped their batting in Wichita
by getting three of the 13 hits
garnered off Husker pitching in
cluding two triples.
Shocker infielder on the third-
base side, Bartholomew, also
looked good at Kansas and will
have to be recokoned with this
weekend.
With good pitching and terrific
hitting on the Husker side, the
only thing that stands in the way
is the fielding. The Husker in
field has looked anything but
steady in their opening contests
and will have to improve vastly

Weather Forces Abandonment
Of I-M Softball League Play
Nebraska weather took its toll
of the- University's intramural
Softball program, it was learned
today. The top spring I-M activity
has been hard hit by ram and
wet grounds ever since its open
ing date two weeks ago. Since
tf-en, only four days of good wea
ther have been available and the
program, which is hurried any
way to finish before final exams
start, is already some 30 games
behind.
As it now stands, there Is no
possible way to finish the plan

ev?ry team in each league play

season tourney before the exam

"o compensate for this, and
rr ":er than going ahead with only
a hap-hazard guess as to whether
everything will work out, the I-M
department is planning a com
plete change of the Softball play.

An intramural Softball mana
gers' meeting has been set for
7 p. m. tonight, Thursday. At this
meeting the change will be ex

proposed tournament will take
place.. Every manager is urged to
attend or Send a representative.
The meeting will be short, or
probably only 20-minutes and
will be in room 103 in the Physl

The proposed change:

Davis Elected
Cage Captain
Midshipman Fritz Davis,
former University student, has
been elected captain of the
Navy basketball team for
the 1951-52 cage season, it was
announced Wednesday by Capt.
Howard Caldwell, director of
athletics. Davis is from . Lincoln.
He was the only three letter
winner at the Naval academy last
year. Davis was outstanding in
football and track as well as
basketball.
He prepped at Lincoln North
east high where he was all-state
in both football and basketball.
He bettered state records in the
shotput and discus as a track
man, but was unable to exceed
them in the state meet.
Davis plays center on the Navy
five, defensive tackle on the foot
ball team and throws the discus
for the cindermen.
He was an outstanding factor
in the upsets which ' the Navy
scored over the Army during the
past year. He had an outstand
ing day against the Cadet run
ners when the Navy eleven
shocked the Army with a 14-12
beating last December, and he
scored the winning basket which
enabled the Annapolis quintet to
defeat the West Pointers 62-59 on
the maples in March.

On Cinders
Stanley Matzke, a potential fu

a senior at Teachers College high
school, is proving to be as effec
tive on the cinders as he was on
the maples.
In a track meet against Seward
he won the high jump, pole vault
and mile. He churned the mile in
4:56.0, high jumped 5 feet 6
inches and pole vaulted 11 feet 3
inches.
His high jump effort was far
below his usual form. He has

Head Basketball Coach Harry
Good has a total of 22 men out
for daily sessions in the Univer
sity's spring cage practice. The
cage prospects for next year have
been sharpening the play in
preparation for the annual Varsity-Alumni
game which will
close the spring drills.
The Varsity-Alum contest is
slated for the Coliseum on Sat
urday night, May 5. The Alums
won last year, the first of the
series, but may have a much
rougher time this year.
Coach Good has five lettermen
returning for action next season.
They are Jim Buchanan of Fort
Wayne, Ind.; Joe Good pf Lin
coln; Bud Ward of Plainfield,
Ind.; Bob Mercier of Lincoln and
Norm Wilnes of North Platte.
Frosh Pair
Coach Good considers his over
all freshman material as only
fair. However, newcomers Bill
Johnson, 6-7 center from Lincoln;
Jim Abernathy, 6-1 forward from
Scottsbluff; Fred Seger, 6-2
guard from Omaha; Don Weber,
6-3 forward from Esterville, la.;
Bud Exstrom, 6-0 guard from
Holdrege, and Clark Smaha, 6
1 forward from Chicago, will
play an important role next fall.
Johnson, former Teachers High
star, is being groomed for the
center post left vacant by the
graduation of Bob Pierce.
The Husker coach feels that
the guard positions will be im
proved over last year with vet
eran Buchanan back and Mercier
more experienced.
The greatest need, Good feels,
is for more height and experi
ence at the center and forward
positions.
Need Height
"At the center post," he ex
plained, "we used another tall
man to compete with Johnson in
practice sessions so that both
men will know what to do when
they run up against tall men
under game conditions.
Coach Good believes that the
club will be strengthened as re
sult of the new freshman rule
which will allow first-year men
to compete on the varsity next
year. But he declined to name
any individuals who are expect
ed to come to Nebraska.
Jim Snyder, Al Blessing and
Andy Bunten, all out for other
spring sports, will report for
drills next fall.

Catlin Takes Offensive Pivot
Spot in Sooner Spring Drill
PEN JACOBS Nebraska's hatf-miler is among those who show '

Catlin is a quiet, black-thached,
19-year-old, 195-pounder who
learned sound football funda
mentals from Coach Earl Sullins
at Ponca City high school. Asa
sophomore last year, he teamed
up with dimpled, tumultuous Bert
Clark, new co-captain from Wich
ita Falls, Tex., to form what Soo
ner fandom contends was as
deadly a line-backing combo as
any college in the country
boasted.
With Harry Moore of Black

Seven center from last year,
graduating in petroleum en
gineering, Catlin has been thor
oughly tested on offense this
spring.
He has looked so terrific that

Ponca City and Blackwell, Cat

Catlin's blocking from the cen
ter position on Oklahoma's split
T formation has been sharp. He
relaxes so well that he may be
able to go 50 minutes in a game.
His short snapbacks are neat and
the Sooner coaches say he will
have no trouble learning the long
one back to the punter. The Pon
can has shown himself to be a
fast thinker, and fast afoot, too.
