Thursday, March 1, 1904 Daily Nebraskan Pago 21 t w Third in a series detailing Big Eight baseball. By Scctt Ahlstrand - Oklahoma baseball Coach Enos Semore said the 1984 Big Eight Conference race is going to be hard foyght. Every body in the Dig Eight can play, and if you're not ready to .go all out, you're going to get beat," Semore said. The Sooner coach said Oklahoma State should be considered the favorite to capture the conference's title. The. Cowboys entered the season ranked No. 2 nationally with a host of potential All-Americans. "Somebody has to be put up there and we take it as a compliment," Cowboy Coach Gary Ward said of the No. 2 ranking. "But we've got our share of unknowns." Kansas State Coach Bill Hickey said the Cowboys are impressive, but he believes the Sooners could win the title. "Ey the end of the season Oklahoma could very easily be the best team in the conference," Hickey said. The Sooners return three All-Big Eight players from last year's team in left fielder Ron Leon, right fielder Paul Williams and third baseman Jay Searcy. Most conference coaches believe that Nebraska and Missouri will finish among the conference's top , four. "We'd like to be one of the top teams in the Big Eight," Nebraska Coach John Sanders said. "We're pretty realistic about our goals and we think well do well in the conference. It's too early to tell but it looks like Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma and Okla homa State will fight it out for the title." Kansas Coach Marty Pattin said an improved pitching staff and a solid defense should keep the Jayhawks competitive. Iowa State Coach Larry Cor rigan said his team's speed could be a factor in the race. ' "I think every team in the conference would like to finish in the top foyr, and that's our goal too," CorrK gan said. "We're pretty positive about our team's . chances." K-State's Hickey said the Wildcats have talent enough to challenge, but the team has to work on its attitude. "If we can get the guys to play hard for a whole game, well be pretty tough," Hickey said. -V7orld Famcin" m r r " ' ' , A.-9 it t iii "" r j rT rfr it iT t if I III X X k ii. 4 k 1 -s. s ... -J r : : 1 IL . !
