Thursday, April 16, 1942 DAILY NEBRASKAN NU Trackmen Open 1942 Outdoor Season 11 tfSftWiiiii,-i5W By Bob Miller NEBRASKA'S number one wrestler, Newton Copple, is back from another wrestling meet. . . Copple who is a junior in eligibility was the only consistent winner this season, losing once and drawing once with the rest of matches resulting in wins. . . He captured a co-title in the conference, sharing the top spot with Porter of Kansas State with whom he drew. . . He went back to the national inter collegiates at East Lansing, Michigan, and garnered fourth place among intercollegiate wrestlers from over the country for the first time any Nebraskan has ever scored in a national wrestling meet. THEN along came the national A. A. U. meet in New Orleans and Copple decided to make a bid for it. . . Due to a lack of uni versity back, in order to compete, Copple was forced to hitch hike down to the Mardi Gras home where he met the best in the nation in a single eliminating match. . . "I learned a lot about wrestling In the national's and the A. A. U. and 1 think my knee will be in shape for the Junior A. A. U. later this spring," was his comment. . . He will leave for the army In June with one year of competition left. . . . Incidentally, Copple had to hitch-hike back through two days of rain storms. FROM ihe looks of Ad Lewandowski's infield, he won't have to worry too much about grounders from the opposition bats. . . On first is Allen Artman, a left-hander from Kearney. . . Artman has shown plenty of stuff from both fielding and batting angles. . . Bernie LeMaster, vet second saker, will be the main cog in the infield. ... At shortstop, George Gribble, Greenwood grabber, is providing plenty of spark to the combination. . . Gribble was the crOwd-pleaser during the Husker basketball season. . . Pat Boyle of Omaha will be on third in the hot corner. LEW is experimenting a little behind the plate where he is using two former gridders to stop his hurlcrs' efforts. . . Dean Jackson, Lincoln, and Roy Long, Blair, ars the two concerned. . . Jackson has the most experience at the receiver's spot but if Long can prove that he is varsity timber, he will take the backstop job and Jackson will play at third. . . Fritz Wolff, Bob Heinzelman and Jake Sedlack will be in the outfield to complete the starting nine. WITH major league baseball getting started, the latest Gallup poll fits in well with the present time. . . According to the voters, professional sports should be continued during the war. . . The vote was 66 to 24 against. . . The majors are going strong with the Yanks and the Dodgers stealing the' opening day performances. . . Ted Williams gave the sign that he would be right in there hitting for a new American league batting average record. . . In the first game he knocked out a home, and two other base blows to bat 3000 percent for the afternoon activities. A R It O w 5 l V T 'n 4..

A fter 1 Two Games AMES, la. Iowa State college baseball men turned their atten tion to Iowa State Teachers col leeg this week after winning their opening series with Simpson, 3 to 2 and 10 to 5. LeRoy "Cap" Timm, Cyclone coach, expects even tougher com petition for his squad when the Panthers come to town but said he was generally pleased with the work of the team last week. Made Some Errors. "We won a pair of games, we made some errors, and we gained some badly needed ex perience," Timm said. "We hope the errors made in non-conference games will be eliminated when we hit the Big Six. I was pleased with the way the team played but look for improvement all along the line for the game with Teachers." Among the things which drew Timm's commendation was the play of the infield. Timm fig ures the infield of Ellis Alexander, Moville, first base; Bob Hayes, Plattsmouth, Neb., second base; Bob Kline, Akron, O., shortstop, and Russ Scharnberg, Everly, third baseman, will be as strong a unit as Iowa State has had in many seasons. Individuals who came in for praise w i ? Tasker Johnspn, Ban croft, Boc Dappen, Brooklyn, both outfielders; Bob Scharnberg, Everly, catcher and captain of the team, and Willard Mylenbusch, Boone, and Al Strohbehn, Council Bluffs, pitchers. Mel Shanda, El beron, who plays the outfield or catches, also impressed the Cy clone coach with his possibilities. ihe ease with which Mylen busch went nine innings in the opening game was impressive," Timm felt. "Last year Mylen busch was troubled with a sore back all year. Last Friday there wasn't a trace 6f his ol trouble and he pitched an effortless game."
