evidence of bigger and better things to come could
be seen.
Rex Fischer performed admirably in the quart

University one of the strongest front walls in the
Big Seven next fall. The starting backfield next
fall, led by Don Comstock (the All-Sports Day
grid standout), Willie Oreenlaw and John Ed
wards could be the best combination to grace
Memorial Stadium for many years.

Sports Staff Writer
Our hitting is good, the fielding
fair and the pitching weak, Base
ball Coach Tony Sharpe said in a
Nebraskan interview Tuesday.
Victors in fiye of six starts on its
southern baseball swing, Sharpe
said he "was very pleased" with
the stick work of the NU nine
which unleashed a 79-hit barrage
for an average of 13 hits and 11
runs a game.
Weak Opponent Pitching
Earlier in the year Sharpe had
commented that this team "was
one of the weakest hitting aggre
gations" he'd ever coached. Sharpe
warned, however, that a warm
streak at the plate and weak pitch
ing had contributed to the current
hitting spree.
Sharpe commented that the pitch
ing hurt the team most. Some of
the boys were throwing with tired
arms, he said, and they just didn't
have the control. "That will prob
ably trouble, us for some time."
Husker Slugging
Third Sacker Don Brown paced
the NU hitters with a robust .560
mark. Included in his mark were
two homers and nine RBI's. Jim
Cederdahl and Bill Giles also hit
for high marks, Cederdahl with a
.462 average and Giles with a .423
mark. Nebraska's hitters banned
out at least 10 hits in all but one
game. In the Texas series, thev
blasted out 38 hits and 34 runs.
As the season moves into confer
ence competition, Sharp feels Mis
souri is the team to beat with Ok
lahoma a close second. The rest
of the league will be a battle. The
Tigers only lost a first baseman
and shortstop from the crew that
copped the UCAA honors last year.
The Huskers will face the Kansas
State Wildcats at Manhattan Fri
dau and Saturday. Sharpe said the
Wildcats have pretty much of a
new team and he didn't know how
tough they would be. He added that
the Kansans had taken the last
three out of four games played
on their diamond.
Sharpe said Fran Hofmaier
would probably start against the
Wildcats on Friday afternoon. Ha
indicated Roger Bottorff (2-0)
would see plenty of action, very
likely much of it coming in re
lief stints.
Linksmen Lose
In Four Starts
The Husker golf team took their
annual southern tour d u r i n e
spring vacation, and were shut
out in four starts.
Wichita took the Husker's meas
ure 10 to eight as Jack Moore
was medalist with an even par
71.
The University of Tulsa swamt-
ed the Husker turf cutters, 17 to 4,
as Chuck Jensen, NU's first man.
was medalist with a three ovpr
par 75.
The University of Arkansas
swamped the Huskers by an 18'4
to IVi margin. Jack Moore was
medalist.
Washburn edged by the Huskers
eight to seven in the" final match
of the tour.
In spite of the losses, the trip
was far from a failure. The
golfers gained good experience
mat will prove valuable as they
begin their Big Seven schedule.
The linksmen were Dlavine on
strange courses and against teams
that have had the advantage of
warmer climates for practice.
TC Track Team
Joins Invitational
Undefeated Cathedral and once
victorious Teachers High school
sent track teams into the Nebraska
City Invitational Tuesday.
Cathedral has won two dual
meets and the Tutors have split,
beating College View and Malcolm
in a triangular but losing to
Omaha Westside.
Teachers' best scoring bet is
half-miler Vsrnon Sharp. Sopho
more Tom Cecrle has pole-vaulted
10 feet 2.
Cathedral based scoring hopes
on distance man Allen Parks and
a speedy mile relay team of Parks,
Gene Kobsza, Mike Costin and Bill
Hoeppner. Costin is also a point
getter in the 440-yard dash and
Bob Everett, a high jump hope.
