Infield Worries Cloud
Husker Pennant Hopes
By George Moyer
Sports Editor
Catching is about the only
thing Nebraska baseball men
tor Tony Sharpe can be sure
of in the infield as he readies
the Cornhuskers for their first
horsehide tilts of the season,
beginning March 29 at Tulsa.
In the backstop position,
Sharpe has returning veter
ans Milan Shaw and Jim
Kane. Kane was top man at
that spot last year as a junior
and should rate as one of the
top receivers in the Big Eight
this year.
Shaw, also a senior, has
seen service both his under
graduate years as the num
ber two man behind Kane.
However, trying to boost the
Wisner sturdy from Sharpe's
lineup has been like trying to
take over for Yogi Berra.
Shaw has yet to letter in his
role as understudy.
At first base, the picture
starts to get muddled. Al
Kewbill, Lincoln junior and
veteran of the Lincoln Opti
mist state champs of 1955, ap
parently has the edge right
now. Newbill shared the posi-

tion with John Beideck last
season but did not compile
enough time to letter.
Battling Newbill for the po
sition are a pair of promising
sophomore sluggers. LeRoy
Zentic. Husker foo'baller and
Ken Rusinger, graduate of
Omaha Creighton Prep, are
waging a strong battle for this
position, according to Sharpe.

Zentic could see duty in out
field as well as on the mound
if his first base possibilities
do not jell.
The mention of second base
brings a smile to Sharpe's
face. There he has last year's
incumbent and a two year
regular back in Al Karle.
Karle appears to have second
base all to himself but Don
Wenzle, sophomore and anoth
er ex Optimist standout may
provide pressure.
Shortstop is not in such a
happy position, however. Jim
Kubacki had the job last year,
but Sharpe plans to move Ku
backi to third base to fill the
spot left by the departed
Frank Nappi. That leaves a
first class battle at short be

Jerry McKay was the re
placement last year when Ku

relief pitching chores. Howev
er, junior Gil Dunn also ap
peared and did some tine
early season hitting. Sopho
more prospect Doug Seiler,
newly recovered from a shoul
der operation, is also in con
tention to add to the muddle.
At third, Kubacki is the
man with a couple of b i g
ifs. Jimmv injured a knee in
basketball, and if the injury
doesn't respond, third would
be a wide open position. Fur

The 48th annual state high
school basketball tournament
has faded into history, but
hot stove speculation on the
results is just beginning.
As a prognosticator of
champions, I should have
stayed at home. Of the six
classes, I picked only two
champions, Byron in Class E
and Clatonia in Class D. One
consoling thought is that I had
a lot of company. Even
though Lincoln High was a
solid dark horse candidate,
Boys Town was the general
pick for the Class AA crown.
Fullerton was supposed to
have been even more of a
sure thing in Class D while
no one particularly cared to
argue with Alma's 36 game
winning streak in Class C.
The upset spattered results,
however, just go once more
to prove that anything can
happen in the state tourna
ment. Nothing was truer of
the 1958 carnival. There were
come from behind victories,
upsets, general tournament
hysteria and, to top it all off,
the clock got stuck during the
Class A finals and no one was
sure how much time Ogalla
and Omaha Holy Name had
to play.
The talent this year looked
better than ever. More of the
boys, especially in the top
four classes appear to be de
veloping the necessary skills
to play college ball. A few
cases in point include Has
tings St. Cecilia's Jerry
Sherman, Lincoln High's BUI
Bowers and Neil Untersher,
Omaha Centrals Gene Owen,
Phil Barth and John Nared
and Wilsonville's Bill H o 1 i-day.
Calcium Hospitalizes Mullins
Soph Postpones Track Till April
Bv Elmer Krai i
Staff Sports Writer
Joe Mullins, the indefatig
eable sophomore distance
runner on the Nebraska track
team is resting now, but it is
not by choice.
An orthopedic specialist re
moved a calcium deposit from
his ankle March 3rd and
Husker track stock has dipped
temporarily.
An accumulat'on of calcium
can be caused by a number
of things but in Mullins case
it is theorized that frequent
irritations preceded by a hard
kick on the ankle incurred
during a high school Rugby
game back in ova icotia
were the causes of his con-
dition.
It was inevitable that he
was going to be bothered by

These boys all did most
things on the court well. It
used to be sledom that you
would see a tall man like
Bowers or Holliday bringing
the ball down court, much
less dribbling it at all When
I played high school ball
(that was back in the late
Pleistocene), our coach
would have screamed bloody
murder if a 6'5" center like
Sherman had absented him
self from the accustomed
post position to shoot 15 jump i
shots like a cuard. but Sher-
man's coach deemed it de
sirable that he keep the de
fense spread out with these
tactics. Jerry was devastat
ingly effective from out
front; so much so that he got
many easier shots in close
after faking his over-anxious
guard out of position.
Holliday was perhaps the
most impressive of the three,
however. Bill is just a sopho
more, but he played with the
poise many seniors lack.
Not only that, but he had a
good variety of shots both
from the inside and the out
side and moved well enough
to be stamped college ma
terial. Among the tournaments lit
tle men, Owen, Untersher
and Pawnee City's Tom Col
well were impressive. Owen
was a member of Central's
gold medal mile relay team
last spring and he used his
speed to good advantage on
the court. He was not par
ticularly impressive as a
scorer, but his defensive abil
ity and ball handling stamp
him as possibility.

Joe came to Nebraska with

coach at Glace Bay, Nova
Scotia, and has since im

In Big Eight
Nebraska got four points
from senior heavyweight Dan
Brand and Jim Novotny add
ed 3 at 177 pounds, but the
Huskers couldn't avoid the
Big Eight wrestling cellar for
the second year in a row.
Both Brand and Novotny
won their first match at
Ames, but lost in the semi
finals. Brand, wrestling furi
ously, nearly upset Iowa
State's Roger Pohlman but
fell 8-7. Pohlman won an
early season meeting 8-4
when Brand was docked for
slamming his opponent to the
mat. Novotny dropped his de
cision 11-1 to Iowa State's un
beaten Frank Powell, who
wound up the champion of the
177 lb. class.
Iowa State emerged with
the team championship. The
Cyclones finished their regu
lar season undefeated winding
up with seven wins, and two
draws. Iowa State's two close
calls came at the hands of
Oklahoma and Oklahoma
State, ranked second and
third in the nation on the mat.
The two Oklahoma schools
tied for second, each grabbing
65 points. Iowa State had 67
points and three champions.
The only wrestler to make
the finals who was not either
from Oklahoma, Oklahoma
State, or Iowa State was Kan
sas State's Gary Haller. Hal
ler was forced to forfeit the
177 lb. championship to Pow
ell when he sprained an ankle.
