Four Baseballers
Gone Next Year
Four Nebraska seniors I of the doubleheader and came
played in their last college
baseball game Tuesday for
Coach Tony Sharp e, Hon
Douglas, Dave May, Wally
Duff, and George Landgren
will leave four spots tough to
fill next year.
Dave May, a 6-2, 210-pound-
er from Omaha, was very in
strumental in the Huskers'
victory over Oklahoma State
Regularly playing first base,
he was used by Coach Sharpe
on the mound in relief once
this year, a rather unprece
dented move.
Dave hit .312 when only a
sophomore and rose to high
est glory in his junior year
when he won the MVP award
on the team for the player
with the highest batting
average, .360.
May will finish his educa
tion next semester m Business
and in the past he has played
for the Ail-American League
in Omaha.
One of Dave's more pleas
ant tasks this past season has
been that of unofficial "rook
ie trainer." This delightful
task entails making sure that
the rookies carry the bats and
other equipment besides en
tertaining the rest of the team
with high school fight songs
when the long road trips be
come boring.
Dave finished up this sea
son with about a .200 average.
Wally Duff was the team
captain this year. The 5-9, Im
pounder from Omaha trans
ferred to Nebraska after a
semester at Stanford on a
football scholarship. Aknee
operation had kept him from
playing. j
The best of Wally's abilities,
speed and defensive work,
were utilized by Coach Sharpe
to the fullest this past season
as several times he scored
the winning run from second
base on plays where a slower
man would have been out.
back to get the win in the sec
ond game.
His sharp-breaking curve
gives him an excellent tool for
quelling an opponents' rally.
Known as "Spider" to h i s
teammates George is in his
first year of Dent school, and
several times this past sea
son he has had to fly to the
road games late because of
his schedule.
During the summers George
has played in the All-American
league. He finished up this
season with a 3-5 record.
Ron Douglas, a 5-9, 165
pound speedster from Crete,
has played every position ex
cept first base and catcher in
his three years under Sharpe.
"Dougmore was among the
leaders of the Big Eight in
RBI's last year and he 1 e d
the team this year. Two of
these RBI's were winning runs
against Colorado in the Husk
ers' first conference victory
of the season and against Kan
sas State in the twelve inn
ing shutout.
Ron has played for Seward
in the Blue Valley League and
North Platte in the NIL.
After getting off to a slow
start this season Ron has been
smacking the ball at about a
300 clip for the past three se
ries.
For his greatest thrill, Ron
passes over all the game-win
ning RBI's and "almost" fan
tastic catches to come up with
stolen base last year. It s
the only one of his college career!
He was one of the few Husk
ers who played errorless
ball this season.
In the past Wally has played
for the All-American League
in Omaha; this summer he is
getting married and w i 1 1 at
tend medical school next year.
George Landgren is a 6-3,
pounder from Papillion, who
has truly come in to his own
this season as the No. 1 re
liever and occasional starter.
Against Colorado, for exam
ple, he saved the first game

Finally ...
"It's all over but the shouting!" ;. ..
But I won't be doing much shouting when my stint at
sports editor of the Daily Nebraskan is over . . . it's been
too much work, worry, and strain to do anything but col
lapse. Bui it's been great, just great.
I began this column some weeks ago by relating why
I was interested in sports . . . perhaps I should end, it by
saying why I still am interested. .'i
I expected to have some adventures as a female sports
writer but some have been even zanier than I could have
imagined.
Off To Stillwater
My latest jaunt to Oklahoma, State for the Big Eight
Outdoor Track Meet ended with one burned out crank
shaft, $200, a surprising but wonderful Nebraska second
place finish, a phone call to Ralph Higgins (O-State track
coach), and about thirty wonderful people.
On the way down, I had car trouble in Perry, Okla.,
which is 24 miles out of Stillwater. My girlfriend and I
were forced to leave the car and go on into Stillwater . . .
after I had called Coach Higgins to find out where the
Nebraska squad was staying since the car I was driving
belonged to the student manager.
It seems that Coach Higgins was having a party for
all the Big Eight track coaches, etc., and they all quickly
learned of my plight.
Bad News Travels
At the meet the next afternoon, I received more com
ments from people I didn't know who knew I was from
Nebraska and that I had left a car in Perry. Word also
spread around the Oklahoma State Student Union hotel
where we spent the night. When my friend and I checked
out the janitor said, "I hope you get your car fixed-up"
(in a Southern accent of course)
Unlike the Big Eight Indoor Track Meet, none of the
athletes were very startled to see me taking pictures.
Most of them had a grin and a "How are things in
Nebraska?" to say and that was all the notice I got . . .
I felt as though I were finally accepted as a professional.
Well, almost.
Being sports editor is truly a challenging job . . . and
it isn't for anyone who likes to eat supper! However, each
morning as I critically review my page I know that I
wouldn't have missed the opportunity at the job.
Whether I have turned out a good page or a terrible
one, it's all mine and I can gripe to no one but myself.
On Nominations
I want to thank all of you who submitted nominations
for the outstanding varsity and intramural athlete of the
year awards. There are some deserving people who did
not get nominations but all of those who were nominated
can certainly be regarded as outstanding. Watch tomorrow
for announcement of the winners.

The 1963-64 Big Eight All
Sports championship, clinched
ahead of the final round of
conference baseball play, was
Kansas' third during Dutch
Lonborg's regime as J a y
hawker athletic director.
It was a fitting farewell
presentation to the one-time
three-sport luminary, who of
ficially retires from his 14
year post July 1. In addition,
the Jayhawkers have finished
runner-up seven times during
this span.
It was their fifth overall
title since the modern circuit
was formed in 1928 as the
Big Six. This is more than
any other school save Okla
homa, which once annexed 12
in succession, en route to a-
total of 23. Nebraska has
bagged three, Iowa State and
Oklahoma State two and Mis
souri one.
The Jayhawkers unsealed
Oklahoma's defending ' cham
pions by lengths, 33Vi to
41, over the expanded 11-sport
cara. Kansas opened that
bulge through the seven Fall
Winter sports and matched
the Sooners, 10-10, in the
spring stretch run by winning
its first Tennis crown since
1948 and adding another sur
prise championship in O u t
door track.
Trailing in order under the
inverse rating system, were
Oklahoma State 47, Colo
rado 48, Missouri 50, Ne
braska 521i, Iowa State 57,
and Kansas State 66.
Oklahoma, Iowa State, and
Colorado filling the next three
sports under the champion
ship. The Buffaloes tied with
Southern Illinois. "
Nebraska's loop football
kings garnished their first
title since 1940 with a win
over Auburn in the Orange
Bowl. Kansas ran fourth in
the NCAA cross-country der
by while Kansas State
matched that finish in NCAA
basketball play.
Missouri's unbeaten base
ball kings are accorded a
good chance of hauling home j

of track and field aces will
be shooting at a smattering,-,
of NCAA individual gold med

Fof the first time since the
early thirties, the Jayhawkers
benefited by fielding a" wrest

they formerly were forced to
absorb a full point load auto

Gymnastics, which was offi
