THE CORNHUSKEB CORNER
By Howard Ijuiner
The Husker baseball season is
all over but the shouting. And
this season there isn’t much to
shout about.
However, Coach Tony Sharpe is
already planning for next spring.
With Omaha’s Ray Novak and
Bobby Decker; Scottsbluff’s
Chuck Wright, and Uehling’s Pat
Mallette eligible for play next
year, Sharpe is plotting ways to
win a third pennant in his sixth
year at the Husker helm.
In conference standings the Ne
braska nine ended up in third
place with five wins and four
losses. Its overall season’s rec
ord was 10 victories and five de
feats.
The weather and inexperience
were the two main factors con
tributing to the Huskers’ third
place standing.
Sharpe predicted early that in
experience would hurt the team,
but he didn’t plan on the weather
getting into the act. Seven of 22
games were rained out.
With such an abbreviated
schedule a loss can cost the cham- 1
pionship. The two crucial games
of the season, those with Okla
homa and Missouri, were both
lost on errors. Just too much
pressure, Tony insisted, for too
many sophomores and juniors.
Three regulars—Bill Fitzgerald,
right fielder from Omaha; John
Rego, third baseman from Natick,
Mass.; Bill Jensen, shortstop from
Denver, Colo. — will be lost
through graduation.
Fitzgerald, Omaha senior, was
voted the most valuable player
by team members.
Fitz received the award even
though on one occasion he wasn’t
quite able to follow the coach’s
orders.
In the top of the ninth of the
Colorado game, the Huskers were
trailing by one run. But three
walks and a single got a rally
going. When Fitzgerald went to
the plate, two were out and the
bases were loaded. But Coach
Sharpe called him back to the
bench and confided:
“You’re the best hitter I have
on the club, Fitz. “Do you know
that?”
“Yep,” was the reply.
“Well, then,f go out there and
hit that ball over the right field
fence,” Sharpe demanded.
“O. K. coach,” Fitz retorted
with a determined look on his
face.
Well, he missed the top of the
right field fence about six inches
but the blow was good enough for
a solid triple which cleaned the
sacks.
And the Huskers went on to
win—13 to t.
