LeMaster fractures ankle;
team starts road trip today
Jflljl 11 II o
By June Bierbower.
One of the best races on thel.
Kansas Relay program will be the
hundred, In which Northwestern's
Myron Piker, and Welby Williams
of North Texas Teachers will be
co-favorites along with the Husk
ers' Red Littler.
Piker is a Junior in school, and
has won three sprint champion
ships in three Big Ten meets. As
a sophomore, he won the indoor 60,
and the outdoor hundred yard
races; then, this winter, he suc
cessfully defended his indoor title.
His best time is 9.5 seconds.
Williams, a sophomore who has
been clocked in 9.6 seconds, has
caught the fancy of southwestern
fans. He first sprung into promi
nence at an early season meet,
the Border Relays, when he sur
prised everyone by beating out
Lonnie Hill, Texas' highly touted
sophomore, In the hundred. No
one had ever heard of the 5' 7"
Williams, while Hill is the boy
who ran a close second to Littler
in the junior AAU 200 meter final
Since then Williams has been
showing his victory, made against
a strong wind, was not a fluke.
He won the Texas Relays hun
dred.
The hundred is not Littler's best
distance, but he has been clocked
in 9.8 seconds twice; one in high
school with a favoring wind, and
last year in a frosh meet
The Huskers red hair and style
of running in which ne sticks
out his chin and carries his arms
low catches a crowd's fancy. As
soon as those in attendance at the
conference meet in Kansas City
saw him run once, they were
"sold" on him, and sat up in antici
pation whenever he went to his
marks through the rest of the
meet.
Littler seems t be in good
shape after suffering a slight
muscle injury last week, but both
he and Piker are at a disad
vantage because of lack of out
door workouts. Williams has been
outside for more than a month,
thus having the jump on the other
two, but anyway you look at it,
there's going to be a full 9-odd
seconds at Lawrence Saturady
when the gun goes off in the hun
dred.
Beta's nip
Delta Theta Phi
in eight frames
Beta Theta. Pi won an 8-lnning
game from Delta Theta Phi, 817
in League 3 to feature Monday's
intramural play. Pillsbury scored
on Pitcher Stoddard's hit in the
eighth. The losers made all their
runs In the third inning, and the
score was tied 7-&U at the end of
the regular five innings.
AGR's Schneider turned in the
day's pitching gem as he limited
Zeta Beta Tau to a lone hit, one
by Altsuler, and struck out 11
men. It was a league 1 encounter
Bill Hastings' homer in the fifth
with the bases loaded gave Acacia
a 16-13 win over the Sig Rps In
League 2 in a thriller. MlUigan
and Williams got homers for the
winners in the second inning.
Delts nip Fiji's
In League 5, the Delts scored
frve runs in the fifth Inning to
nudge the Phi Gjcts, 10-9. The
Phi Gams got six on their runs in
the first and three In the fourth
frame.
In another League 5 game, Phi
Sigma Kappa lost 10-2 to the
Delta Sigs. In League 4, the Sig
Alpha beat Alpha Sigma Phi 7-1
and Pi Kappa Alpha beat Chi Phi,
0-3.
A League 1 game say the ATO's
beat Theta XI, 8-2, and In League
3, the Kappa Sigs turned In the
day's high score as they walloped
Ogma Chi, 20-6, getting ten runs
in the second inning.
Nebraska's baseball stock took a
distinct fall yesterday when Bernie
LeMaster, regular shortstop, suf
fered a fractured fibula while
practicing sliding yesterday.
LeMaster, with two teammates,
was working around third, and
caught his spike in the dirt at the
corner of the base. He is lost to
the team for the season, as the
injury will keep him out for a
good six weeks.
LeMaster s injury came on the
eve of the team's departure for a
three day road jaunt which will
open the season. Either Lance
Ray or Leonard Van Buskirk will
replace him at short.
Seventeen men 90.
Seventeen men will leave by car
totiay at 3:30 p. m. to play Luth
er college of Decorah, la., on
Thursday, and then travel to
Ames for single games with Iowa
State on Friday and Saturday aft
ernoons. Coaches Wilbur Knight and A. J
Lewandowskl have named Harry
Truscott, Omaha sophomore, as
the starting pitcher against Luth
er with Alvin Schmode doing the
receiving. If everything goes as
the mentors expect, Sid Held will
be in line for the first Iowa State
game and Bob Searle handling the
Saturday duties
In reserve will be Ernie Swan-
son, Bob Garey and Oscar Tegt
meier. Dick Joyce will alternate
behind the plate with Schmode. Six
lettermen will be making the trip
Truscott pitches first.
The expected lineup lists
Schmode and Truscott as the open
ing day's battery, Frank Rubino
on first base, Dow Wilson on sec
ond, Ray or Van Buskirk at short,
and Ray or Vernon Thomsen on
third base.
The outfielders will be John Mc-
Dermott, Oscar Tegtmeier (also

Hurley, and Lloyd Hall,
The squad is expected back in

sity on Saturday morning. The
team leaves Lincoln Friday morn
ing and will headquarter in Wichi
