Cornhuske'r bats boomed yester
day afternoon as Nebraska toppled
Colorado 11 to 3 to sweep a two
game series.
Don Brown, slugging third sack
cr, led the Nebraska attack with
a double and a home run in five
trips. Brown's round tripper came
in the third inning with teammate
Norm Coufal on base and pushed
the Huskers into a 2-0 lead.
Nebraska added two in the
fourth when Gary Reimers singled
to left and scored on Jim Kane's
double. Kane later crossed the
plate when pitcher Dick Geler
singled sharply to left.
The Buffs got to Geier for three
hits and a run in the fifth.
Chuck Ziegenbein came on to
put out the fire by striking out
Jim Nylund and forcing Bruce
Klaas to ground out to Gene Tore
con. In the last of the fifth the roof fell
in Ou Colorado hurler Chris
Schmidt.
Eleven Huskers came to bat in
this frame, six of which scored.

Off and running ...
This week-end brings to a close
the spring track season with the
running of the Big Seven track
meet at Manhattan, Kansas.
The Kansas Jayhawks, defend
ing Big 7 titleholders, are again
favored to win the classic.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers, who
finished last in the 1955 running,
are favored to finish no better this
year.
Husker harriers, Bill Hawkins
and Bill Marten, are both rated
bigh in the hurdles.
Ken Reiners and Larry Smith
are both strong contenders in the
weight events while young Bernie
Randolph could place in the pole
vault. Distance men Bob Eswood and
Hugh Osmera may place in the
mile and two-mile runs, but they
must improve their times to fin
ish in the top two.
The Jayhawks will be running
with four Olympic contender! on
their roster.
Big Bill Nieder, who has been
the talk of the nation for his 60
foot plus heaves in the shot-put,
will be the top favorite to take the
outstanding performer trophy.
The Hawks speed merchant, Dick
Blair, has been ripping off times
of 09.5 in the century and ran
third to Dave Simes of Duke and
Bob Murrow of Abilene Christian
in the Drake Relays.
' If track fans can recall about a
reek ago, young sophomore Sime
ran the 220-yard dash in the time
of :20.1, a new world's record.
Les Bitner, who has pitched the
Javelin over 250 feet and holds
the NCAA record, will be defending

Sports Editor
his title again this year.
A young sophomore, Al Oerchis,
is setting the 'pace in the hop-step-jump
event and the discus.
All in all, the Jayhawks cinder
squad is one of the finest as
sembled. Not since the days of
Wes Santee, Art Dazell, Herb
Semper, Bob Karnes and company,
has coach Bill Easton fielded such
a roster of stars.
But how long can the Jayhawks
continue to be the Oklahoma Soon
ers of the track? Who will finally
dethrone them? Maybe not next
year, but in time, I feel that our
own Nebraska Cornhuskers will be
right near the top. The Huskers
are building a group that could
one day go all the way to the
top.
Finale time ...
Track isn't the only sport that
closes out their season Friday and
Saturday. The Husker golf and
tennis teams also trek to Manhat
tan to compete in the Big 7 finals.
In the golf events, NU's Warren
Christenson and Jack Moore are
favored to carry the top clubs for
the Huskers.
The tennis squad will be led by
two sophomores, George Fisk and
Art Weaver.
The baseball nine closes out its
home season this week-end with a
two-day tilt with the league-leading
Missouri Tigers. The Missourlans
will bring in their top pitcher,
Norm Stewart, to try and squelch
the Huskers bid for the conference
crown.

Brown's long two bagger off the
left center field fence.
Phil Brody came on to relieve
Schmidt and halted the Husker at
tack by getting Brown to pop up
to catcher Charley Parker.
A touch of wildness and a sin
gle by Bob Pomeroy put Ziegen
bein in a jam in the ninth.
With the bases full, Willie Green
law was summoned in to the hill
from center field by Tony Sharpe.
Pinch hitter Hal Sprehe promptly
hit into a double play which went
from Al Karle to Coufal to John
Beideck.
Jed Morris then grounded to
Coufal to end the ball game.
Geier, starter and winner, was
very effective in his five inning
stint. He struck out ten, walked
one and gave up only three hits.
Geier might have been able to
pitch his way out of the jam, but
Coach Sharpe was taking no chanc
es. Beside Brown, others getting two
hits were Reimers, Coufal and Lar
ry Lewis.
The Huskers return to action on
Friday, playing host to the Mis
souri Tigers in the first game of
a two-game series. Game, time
will be at 3 p.m.

By GEORGE MOYER
I-M Sports Writer
The proverb states that a good
athlete is a consistent one. By this
qualification Art Weaver, the pride
of Coach Ed Higgenbotham's ten
nis staff, is a good athlete. The
big towheaded sophomore is the
most consistent performer for the
racquet club this spring.
Art1 continued his winning ways,
a bright spot on the rather dismal
tennis front this season, by win
ning his single match and then
teaming with mate George Fisk to
cop one half of the doubles compe
tition as Nebraska shut out
Creighton University 7-0 last Fri
day. Art topped this steller perform
ance by winning his singles match
against Omaha Monday.
He and Fisk were upset in the
doubles by Don Fisher and Hel
mut Dahlke, a pair of villains who
had earlier hung a 4-3 loss on the
Huskers' also by winning their
doubles match.
Weaver's record this spring has
been somewhat outstanding on a
team that has had its troubles.
The Lincoln High product has
scored eleven points so far this
spring.
Since a point is scored for each
set won and a player plays, at
the most, just two sets a match,
this record is nearly phenomenal
and certainly consistent.
Weaver is a pre-medical stu
dent, a course of studies not usual
ly associated with outstanding ath
letes. He won his first letter as a fresh
man last year and therefore has a
chance to become a four year let
ter man, "something you just
don't hardly see no more," to
quote lonesome George Goeble.
Art gets his next chance at
competition in the Big Seven tennis
tournament to be held in Manhat
tan, Kansas May 18 and 19.
Coach Higgenbotham calls the
tournament a toss up, but speaks
more optimistically of Weaver's
chances.
Whatever the results in Manhat
tan, Weaver is sure to make Ne
braska tennissquads a threat for
the next two years.

Betas Win
Intramural
Badminton
As the field is narrowed, "soft-
ball competition becomes consitent-
ly tougher. So Norbert Schuerman
the Kappa Sigs stocky little left
handed pitcher, discovered Mon
day.
Schuerman pitched no-hit ball
for five innings against the Betas,
but eventually lost a two hitter 1-0
as the K.S. third baseman made
two damaging errors in the last of
the eighth inning.
The only Beta's to get a hit off
Schuerman were pitcher Tom
Weeks and first baseman Cal John
son. Neither hit figured in th
scoring. Weeks pitched a neat six
hitter himself. He was wild, but
hard to hit with men on the bases.
In other Softball action, the Phi
Psi's knocked off Alpha Tau Ome
ga, 14-11; Manatt 9-Bessey 8; Al
pha Gamma Sigma 8-Pionetr
House, 1. '
Long awaited results were final
ly posted by participants in bad
minton. The tournament champion and
All-University champion was Ken
Moorehead of the Beta's while
Moorehead and Bill Kampfe edged
Glen Place and John Fagan, Be
ta's, in the doubles championships.
Independent champion was R. A.
Korsakas and team champions
were the Betas, who topped runner-up
Sigma Chi, 57-37.
Bill Roy and Jim Warnick de
feated Keith Bauman and Bill
Eustler 6-2, 6-2 to break into the
finals of the all University tennis
doubles championships.
Other results; Ron Nathan and
Jerry Pierks, Phi Gamma Delta
beat Cook and Walker, Delta Tau
