Missouri's Gordon Crosbey got a closer view of
Gene Littler's back in Friday's qualifying 440's
than he did yesterday when Nebraska's red flash
anchored the mile relay team to victory. Red had
to come from behind and buck a stiff wind to do

earlier in the afternoon in the 440 and 220.
Don Morris, Arden Kersey and Bill Smutz did
the running in front of Littler, who reporters in
the press row said, looked like he was mighty
tired of running. It's the first time this year that
the pressure has been on the mile relay team,
and they came through to give UN its third Big
Six championship.

judged his distance, pulled the
trigger and sent the shell flying
far out of reach of the opposing
fielders for a home run that
brought Husker baseballers a 3 to
2 victory over Iowa State.
When asked how it felt to win
the game, Bernie replied, sporting
an ear to ear smile, "It felt pretty
good. I usually get one every year
and this one came at just the right
time."
Short history.
The baseball history of the Elm
creek senior dates way back to
1933 when he began playing ball
with the American Legion team
at Ravenna. LeMaster and his
teammates were district champs
that season, but lost to Neligh in
the state tournament at Omaha.
"We beat them two days later at
Ravenna," he added, to justify the
loss at Omaha.
During the summer, Bernie
holds down a job playing semi
pro ball with the Kearney Inde
pendents. In 1937, he was chosen
a member of the All-State Semi
Pro nine for his outstanding work
with the Independents. He intends
to fill ' his spot in the Kearney
lineup again this summer.
Bad luck boy.
If there was such a title as "Na
tional Collegiate Hard Luck
Champ of 1940," it should go to
none other than Mr. LeMaster.
While practicing the night befoie
the first game, Bernie broke his
log sliding into base, putting him
out for the entire season. How
ever, despite the fact that he is
a first semester senior, he will be
to Coach Knight's burning ears,
for he intends to return for the

it's been a dozen things. First it
was our pitching, but now it's
mainly our batting. Our pitchers
hold out, but we can't get enough
hits to win the game. I think we
will have a fairly good team next
