row iriome opener!
Now Hold 3-1 league Mark
By HOWARD VANNT
Assistant Sports Editor
The first Nebraska conference
road trip of the year produced
three wins and two losses for
Coach Tony Sharpe one of the
losses being the services of sec
ond sacker Bobby Reynolds.
Speaking strictly on the games
won and lost, the Huskers came
home with .750 average.
The only game lost during the
road trip came in the second con
test of the double header with
Kansas State after the untimely
injury to Reynolds.
"The boys were pretty shaken
up after Bobby was injured Sat
urday but they came back in fine
fashion Monday and Tuesday to
sweep the Kansas series," stated
Sharpe.
Before Reynolds' injury the in
field was the weak spot on the
Nebraska team. With Reynolds
out now it just make the situa
tion more upset, Sharpe said.
Coach Sharpe was pressed to
make a quick decision for a re
placement for Reynolds. H e
moved utility outfielder Virgil
Gottsch into the line-up at third
base and switched regular third
sacker Fred Seger to second.
Coach Sharpe had praise for
Gottsch's play in the -Kansas
scries. Gottsch hammered out a
home run with two men on base
and also smashed out a double
and a single in the second game.
He had two for six in the first
game.
Sharpe stated that he thinks
Kansas has one of the top teams
in the league but that Nebraska
hitting and pitching were very
good during the series.
e
Jerry Dunn snapped out of a
hitting slump at Kansas State and
regained his potential hitting
power. Centerfielder Jim Ceder
dahl continued his ball clouting
tactics during the entire series to
add to the Nebraska cause at the
plate.
"Cederdahl is Improving with
each game and is getting better
acquainted with his new position
in the outer gardens," stated
Sharpe. Last season Jim was a
substitute backstop.
When Ray Novak took over the
pitching chores for Nebraska, Cal
TTplmA nlnvH firct haw anH crnt
three hits in five times at bat for.ment
a creditable performance.
Pitchers Novak and Dick Mc
Cormick turned in fine jobs on
the mound for the Huskers. No
vak pitched seven good innings of
ball in the second game against
Kansas. He went the entire dis
tance but after the score stood at
20-1 Novak coasted the rest of
the way allowing five runs in the
final two inings. Novak struck out
10 men while issuing only one
free pass.
McCormick has been pitching
good ball in all of his games so
far this year. He came in the first
game in the seventh inning to re
lieve Charley Wright and shutout
the Kansans the rest of the way
to receive credit for the win.
Both games were marred with
errors caused mostly by the rough
grounds. Coach Sharpe even went
so far as to say that some of the
errors could have been called hits
because of the rough grounds.
Dirkes Rolston played good ball
for the Huskers on the whole trip.
He played faultless ball during
the entire series in the Sunflower
state. Before the season started
the shortstop position was one of
Sharpe's main worries but Rol
ston's steadily improvnig play has
eased the coach's mind.
"After the boys slept on Bob
by's injury they seemed to be
fired up and with more spirit.
They knew that they had lost one
of their best boys and acted as if
they wanted to go out and win
for him," stated Sharpe.
The coach thinks that the team
should improve as the season rolls
along. He also believes that any
team in the league except Kansas
State is capable of taking the
conference crown. Colorado, Iowa
State who has a 5-7 record and a
split with powerful Minnesota,
and Missouri were singled out by
the coach as the top teams on the
list.
"With every team in the league
capable of upsetting the other this
year s race should be very inter
esting," Sharpe said.
Nebraska plays two two-game
series with Iowa State and K
State and one two game series
with the other league teams. The
championship is then decided on
a percentage basis. The minimum
league games that a team has to
play is 12 and the maximum is 16.
The Huskers have a 16 game
schedule this season.
Nebraska's next opposition is
against Missouri next Monday,
The Tigers are fresh from two
wins over K-State
Sharpe is nominating Novak for
the first game pitching assign
and will probably follow
with Fran Hofmaier in the second
contest with McCormick and
Wright in reserve.
The line-up will be the same as
he used against Kansas but the
batting order will depend on
whether the Tigers use a right or
left handed pitcher in the series.
The coach expressed a sincere
wish that all of the student body
turn out to support the players.

FINDING OLD POWER . . . Jerry Dunn, who is pictured holding
the Roy Withers memorial trophy for the outstanding NU player
of 1952, is finding the strength with which he won the recogni
tion last year. Dunn clouted several extra base blows at Kansas
State and Kansas to help the Huskers bring home a 3-1 Big Seven
won-lost average. Dunn was named as a college All-American
last year as a junior.
The men who play Saturday,
April 25th, may play on Satur

Weir Enters Squad Of Ten
By GARY FRANDSEN
Sports Staff Writer
Ten athletes will represent Ed
Weir's Nebraska track and field
squad in the Drake Relays at Des
Moines Friday and Saturday. It
is the second straight big meet
for the Husker thinclads as they
participated in the Kansas Relays
last weekend.
Onlv one relay team will enter
this weekend's big affair and that
will be the shuttle relay foresome
of Dan Tolman, Wendell Cole,
Gaylord Smith and Jim Hofstetter.
Weir stated that the quartet nas
been covering the 480 yards in 62
seconds, but expressed hope that
the powerful competition will en
able the Huskers to lower their
time a full second. The Husker
coach went on to say that 61 sec
onds or under would be con
sidered eood for the distance.
Tnlman. Cole and bmitn win
also enter in the open 120-yard
hurdles. Cole finished in the event
in the Kansas Relays.
As it has been proven In the
earlier meets Nebraska's strength
rests in the field events and tnat
will probably be the case at Des
Moines. .
Weir stated that Cliff Dale
Larry Smith and Paul Grimm will
participate In tne snot put wun
Dale and Smith doubling up in the
discus. Dale captured a second
ninro finish in the discus last
r -
week at Lawrence.
Glenn Beerline, winner or tne
hoc sten and lump at rvansab,
will compete in the broad jump
while Phil Heidelk will enter the
high jump. Heidelk was a second
place finisher in his specialty at
Kansas.
Other entries in the field events
are Hofstetter, pole vault and
Chuck Hunley, javelin. Jim Som-
mers, another vaulter, will not
be on the traveling roster because
of a spiked hand suffered in last
week's meet.
There was also some optimism
in the Nebraska camp. Weir stated
that Hobe Jones has been running
well during this week's workouts
and should be ready for at least
one race during All Sports Day.
Bob Fairchild and Brian Hend-
rickson, both injured dash men,
are also slowly rounding into
shape and both could be avail
able for the All Sports Day dual
with Oklahoma. Another bright
spot in the recent workouts has
been the performance of Wayne
Whitaker, a 220 performer. .
Lookine ahead to the May 2
dual with the Sooners, the head
track mentor said that the out
come will probably depend on
which is stronger, Oklahoma s
trackmen or Nebraska s fieldmen.
