Sharpe Cuts
UN Baseball
Squad to 66
The third cut of the baseball
season occurred Monday and left
66 candidates to fight it out down
flie training period stretch for
varsity positions. Four intrasquad
games Saturday morning and aft
ernoon did much to crystallize
Coach Tony Sharpe's ideas into a
smaller and closer working outfit.
Of the 66 players left, about
half are battery men. Assistant
Coach Vern Kailey has concen
trated lately on trying to pick his
most likely hurlers. Thus far, An
rclo Osslno, Wally Sheef, Elroy
Gloystein, Bob Noel, Jerry Schmld
and Sterling Van Vleck have
shown the most promise and one
of these will probably start the
opening game, against Colorado U.
at Boulder on April 4.
Versatile Sam Vacanti of
Omaha, Orval Schmieding, and
Jack Maxwell are the leading
backstop candidates. Vacanti's big
bat is an important factor in his
bid for starting honors.
Sharpe listed eight infielders
for special mention: Thurman
Wright of Richmond. Ind., and
Bob Schleiger of Omaha were at
first, Hobe Hayes and Fritz Heg
wood at the keystone sack. Bob
Grogan and Fritz Wolfe at short,
and Bill Denker and Ray Kubie at
the far turn.
In the outfield. Butch Matthews,
Jim Sharp. Wes Maser, Morrie
Gaiter, and Gayle Feterson are
the standouts. Any slugging ex
hibited by the team will probably
be furnished by Matthews, Va
cfinti. Sharp, Gaiter, and Wolfe.
These men have shown up well
in batting practice and will prob
ably stud the middle of the bat
ting order.
Sharpe worked mainly with the
Infielders Monday while Kailey
counseled the pitchers and catch
ers. Sharpe plans to have intra
squad (tames every day that is
favorable from now on.
So far, but two "B" games have
been scheduled, both with Omaha
U., but Sharpe has been working
to get more games for the Nub
bins with teams in the surround
ing territory.
Wilbur Baack, regular third
sacker last year, suffered a badly
torn fingernail during infield
practice Friday evening, but is
expected to be on deck before
the Colorado game. Ervin Bull,
after showing promise as an out
fielder, was forced to quit because
of the illness of his father.
The Cornhuskers are scheduled
to open the season with the Uni
versity of Colorado at Boulder,
April 4 and 5.

Four Nebraska
Cage Players
Ineligible
Four athletes counted on for
service on Nebraska varsity teams
have been declared ineligible by
Dean T. J. Thompson for viola
ting the Big Six rule which pro
hibits university athletes from
competing in outside events with
out league permission, according
to Athletic Director A. J. Lewan
dowski. Flayers affected are Bob Means,
member of the basketball squad
this season and fullback candi
date during spring drills; Neal
Mosser, former Purdue cage flash
who was counted on for regular
service with this year's Ilusker
team before a knee injury side
lined him; Bernie Bieterman,
Nubbins basketball star, and
Waldo Winter, a member of the
basketball squad during the early
part of the season.
All four athletes were members
of the Lincoln Nut House basket
ball team which competed in the
National AAU tournament at
Denver last week.
In a letter to Athletic Director
Lewandowski, Dean Thompson
said:
"I have no doubt that each of
the persons participating was fully
informed of the meticulous man
ner in which we are endeavoring
to meet the letter of the Confer
ence rule concerning outside par
ticipation. "It is a matter of regret to me
that those students, despite their
knowledge, have gone ahead with
their own personal plans and have
thus participated.
"There is no alternative but
that I, as Nebraska's faculty ath
letic representative, shall and do
declare them ineligible for further
college participation until such
time as they shall have appealed
to the Conference and have been
reinstated."

More March wind played havoc
with football plans in the Ne
braska spring training camp,
blowing passes awry, chilling
players and destroying much of
the football willingness among the
Huskers.
A second night of passing drills
was on the menu for backfield
candidates after four backfields
had run through a few play for
mations. Quarterbacks and both
halfbacks in the backfield quar
tettes got a chance to pass dur
ing the Tuesday drills.
Line Coach Tony Blazine had
his ponderous forwards working
on blocking tactics at the west
end of the field. Most of the line
mainstays were on hand for the
session. Bob Deviney, veteran
