The 1948 edition of the Cornhusker baseball squad
should be a hard outfit to beat if early predictions mean
anything. Big Jim Sandstedt one of the top pitchers for
the scarlet squad last season has regained nis old iorm
after beiner handicarrjed bv a knee miury suiierea in
basketball and should turn in his best year.
Other hurlers who have been working out regularly
in anticipation of the first spring call are southpaw EIroy
Gloystein, Angelo Ossmo, Sterling Van vieck, JacK rvim-
sing, and Jerry Schmid.
Dilford Blatchford. Willard Branson, Orville Schmeid
ing, Bob Eicher and football ace Tom Novak have reported
for early catching drills in the basement of the Field House
so Nebraska should get on to a good start in cig oeven
competition.
The indoor track picture looks bright for two Corn
huskers who carry unbeaten records in their . individual
specialties to the Big Seven Conference indoor track cham
pionships at Kansas City Missouri February 28.
Dick Hutton who came close to the world's 60 yard
dash record of 06.1 seconds in Saturday's meet with Mis
souri and Don Cooper new Nebraska record holder in the
pole vault, have scored first place in three dual meets to
lead with 15 points. Hutton and Cooper have only to pro
tect their records against Kansas State and the University
of Kansas for a clean slate.
Loyal Hurlbert and Dick Piderit had their winning
strine broken by Missouri. Hulbert followed Bob Schuster
to a new 440 meet record while Piderit was close behind
Ed Quirk in the shot put.
Meanwhile track Coach. Ed Weir has caught the spring
fever bug and is planning the annual home track and field
meet which the University sponsors for high school atn
letes. Weir is preparing the cards for the events now and
expects to have them in the mail by March 1. Last year
the Husker mentor awarded 446 full blue numerals and
510 half blue.
It will literally be a three ring circus when gymnastic
teams from Minnesota, Colorado College and Nebraska get
together Saturday afternoon for three dual meets in one
with each team competing against the other. '
Minnesota won the Big Nine gymnastic title in 1947
and three of the men who won individual honors on that
team are members of Coach Ralph Piper's present team.
They are Donald Hedstrom who placed first in the parallel
bars and third in the rings; James Peterson who was tops
in the rings and tumbling; Howard Swanson, high bar
champion. Husker fans will also get a chance to see Don
Potter, all around gymnast who was given an optional
berth on the Otympic team for the parallel bars in action.

This Weekend
This coming week-end; the Ne
braska swimming team will travel
west to meet two Colorado squads.
The Huskers meet Colorado A. &
M. Friday at 3:30 and Saturday
afternoon will tangle with Colo
rado University at Boulder.
The Cornhuskers will be seek
ing their third win of the season
when they meet the Aggies and
their third conference win when
they swim against Colorado Uni
versity. Nebraska should have no
trouble in beating the Aggies, but
Colorado is .expected to give the
Huskers a good fight. By com
paritive times, Nebraska should
beat Colorado A. & M. by about
15 points. Colorado should give
the Huskers a tougher fight.
Colorado A. &. M. has a couple
of good men, in Bruenfeld and
Abshire. Bruenfeld swims - the
150-yard backstroke in 1:46.7, and
Abshire swims the 440-yard free
style in 5:53. Abshire is the
strong man of the team, as he also
swims the 50-yard and 100-yard
freestyle events. Colorado, on the
other hand does not have any in
dividual stars on its team, but
has a well-rounded squad. This
setup has proved to be the strong
er as Colorado U. has already
taken the measure of the Aggies
by a score of 47 to 37.
Nebraska will be strengthened
by the return to the squad of
Perry Branch, who has been out
of competition because of illness,
and Don Hines who was also sick.
The Huskers will be in full
strength when the Big Seven
Championships roll around on
March 5th and 6th, and should
give the defending champions,
Iowa State, a good battle.

(I S. I.
to
Saturday afternoon, the Ne
braska gymnastic team will be
host to two of the top gymnastic
squads in the country when Min
nesota and Colorado State College
will meet the Cornhuskers in a
triangular meet on the Coliseum
stage.
Minnesota has a powerful team,
having beaten Nebraska in a dual
meet already this year. The Go
phers have several outstanding
men on their team including Jim
Peterson, Don Hedstrom, George
Patten, and Herb Loken.
Peterson was high point winner
in the Western Conference Cham
pionships last year. Hedstrom is
the top man on the flying rings,
and is also an exceptional tumbler.
Herb Loken is an all around
gymnast with his best events be
ing the parallel bars, the side
horse, and tumbling. The best all
around man on the team is George
Patten who figured heavily in the
defeat handed to Nebraska. His
performances are best in the hor
izontal bar, the side horse and in
the tumbling event. The Go
phers are bringing a six, man
team to the meet, with all but
one an experienced gymnast. Col
orado has three outstanding men
on its team in Don Potter, Bob
Fenner and Dave Owens.
Bob Fenner was third place
winner in the trampoline event
last year in the N.A.A.U., and is
exceptional on the horizantal bar.
Dave Owens is the outstanding
man in this yart of the country
in the tumbling event.
Nebraska will be paced by
Sprague and Geier. Sprague has
been first or second 'high point
man in all the meets so far this
year. Geier has been behind him
in the standings. The Cornhuskers
will not be at full strength, as
Harding is sick, and there is a
possibility that Geier will not perform.
