A busy week is in store for
University of Nebraska varsity
clubs this week. Standing at the
head of the list is Tony Sharpe's
baseball which invades Norman
for two important Big Seven
games.
The Huskers and Sooners have
been tabbed as the teams "most
likely to succeed" in the cham
pionship race.
Nebraska and 'Oklahoma are
currently in a three way tie for
first place in the hardball race,
the third outfit being Kansas
State. All three have records
o? 3-1. Both the Sooner and
Husker one loss came at the
hands of Kansas State, the Husk
ers owning one over the Wild
cats in return.
Oklahoma owned the edge over
the Huskers in last year's play
winning two of their three con
tests, the Husker lone win, a 2-1
affair.
Sooners Fell
Last week while the Sooners
were falling before Kansas State,
the Huskers were twice dispos
ing of stubborn Luther College
,f Iowa. Nebraska won the two
ames, 3-2 and 4-1.
Coach Marv Franklin's golf
ers will be only host Huskers
during the week meeting the
Omaha U golf team on the Hill
crest greens Wednesday after
noon. Until last Saturday, Nebraska
golfers were undefeated. Kansas
University slipped by Franklin's
crew, 13-4ft at Lawrence. The
Huskers are favored to down
the Idians.
Friday and Saturday, the ten
nis team joins the golfers in an
other jaunt into the sunflower
state.
WesleyM Foe '
Kansas Wesleyan is the first
earn to test the Huskers on their
rip. From Salina, the two teams
sween on to Manhattan for a
return match with Kansas State.
For Bob Slezak's tennis team,
it will mean a chance for revenge.
The netters were able to salvage
only one match In their first
encounter with tike Wildcats.
Radin and Magee won their
doubles match.

K-State Has
Alumni Game
Scheduled
Former Kansas State football
stars, including Emmett Breen,
head freshman coach at K-State,
will test the 1950 WUdcat grid
ders in an Alumni-Varsity game
at Manhattan, Saturday night,
April 29. The game, sponsored
bv the Manhattan Chamber of
Commerce, is schedules for 8
d. m.
At least 24 former Wildcat
players have indicated they will
match skills with Coach Ralph
Graham's hustling, 1950 football
ers. The so-called "oldtimers"
will be coached by Breen, an
all-conference star in 1932 and
one of the finest forward passers
in ttio Pate' Sd-vpar football hifi-
J tory.
The Alumni player-coach says
his team probably will use the
T formation featuring lots of
passing against the varsity
youngsters. Obviously, lack of
manpower is expected to hurt the
alums victory chances unless the
squad is strengthened this week.
75 Man Squad
On the other hand, the var
sity team will have the most
depth a Kansas State squad has
enjoyed since pre-war days.
Graham and his staff have a
hustling squad of 75 men, many
ot them members of the 1949
Wildcat team which was the most
prolific scoring group at K-State
since 1917.
For an offensive starting back
feld,.ths Wildcat Mentor prob
ably will name Frankie Hooper,
t quarterback, Dick Towers,
lefthalf, Ray Lazar, right half
back and Carvel Oldham, full
back. Hooper was a squadsman
last season and Towers, Oldham
and Lazar were members of the
freshman team. Three of the
Cats' sophomore ball luggers of
last season Hil Faubion, Ted
Maupin and Elmer Creviston,
are out for track this spring. .
The offensive line probably
will be Francis Sterns, and Billy
Hull, ends; Talton Pace, and Walt
Gehlback, tackles; Al Lummio,
and John Goff, guards; Harold
Robinson or John Knoll, center.

Leading the Huskers again will
be Bob Berkshire and Don
"Moose" Cooper.
Berkshire, definitely gn the
up-grade, streaked through the
barriers for a second place medal
in the Kansas Relays. He was
barely edged at the tape as the
winner was clocked at :14.5 sec
onds. Bob was credited with an
unofficial :14.6.
Cooper cashed in for the o.her
Nebraska second place in the
individual events with a vault
of 13-8. Big Seven indoor champ,
Bill Carroll won the event, estab
lishing a new record.
Detroit Takes
Stanley Cup
The Detroit Red Wings of the
National Hockey Leauge, tucked
the Stanley cup under their belts
Sunday night by outdueling the
New York Bangers 4-3 in a
thrilling overtime game.
The Detroit team, was forced
to wait 28 minutes and 31 sec
onds in a game of sudden death
before they were able to break
through a stubborn Rangers de
fense for the goal that gave them
the championship series, four
games to three.

BILL CARROLL High-flying polevaulter from Oklahoma, took carefull set his sights on the Kan
sas Relay pole valut record and lowered the boom with a vault of 14-5. He was the only individual
record-breaker at the Relays and was voted the outstanding contender at the meet.
Chicago Cubs Surprise;
Only Unbeaten Major Team
By Bill Mundell
Guess who's on top of the Na
tional baseball league, currently
at least. If you didn't see it in
the papers you probably would
not believe it Right there on top
and the only undefeated hard
ball team in the majors are the
Chicago Cubs.
The Cubs, their record perfect
with three wins have had the
benefit of playing the fewest
contests in the majors to date,
but that's nothing against their
fine early season showing. In
cluded in their three wins are
two over the St. Louis Cardinals,
supposedly the second best out
fit in the senior circuit.
In pre-season balloting of
sports writers and prognostica
tors, the Cubs are supposed to
finish in the depths of the Na
tional league cellar and the bet
ing commissions have the odds
set at 120 to 1 that they will ever
win the pennant. Maybe that's
true, but the Cubs look good
thus far.
Another major surprise cur
rently is the second place outfit
in the National The Pittsburgh
Pirates have a record of 5-1 for
an .833 average to date. In pre
season balloting the Pirates
were picked for sixth. ,
The senior league favorite, the
Brooklyn Dodgers, lost their
first contest to the Philadelphia
Phillies, which in this early
stage has kept the Dodgers in
fourth place with 3-1 record.
Tigers Hot
A mild surprise is being reg
istered in the Ameircan league
race- as the Detroit Tigers are
currently hot as blazes. The
Tigers, winner of their first four
straight were cooled slightly
Sunday by the Chicago White
Sox, 5-4, but still hold a one
game lead over second place
Cleveland. Art Houteman, young
star of the Tiger mound stall,
has already won his second con
test of the year, and the season
only six days old.

Blanked
By Kansas
- By Bob Banks
(Staff Snort Wiitrr)
After being handed three con
secutive setbacks at the hands
of some rough teams, the Corn
husker tennis team will make a
return trip to the Sunflower
state this Friday and Saturday
in hopes of meeting a better
fate.
The contests they have drop
ped thus far have been to Kan
sas State, Washburn, and the
University of Kansas. All of
these schools boast a strong net
squad.
In their last outfng against the
University of Kansas, the Hus
kers were dumped 7-0 by a clas
sy Jayhawk outfit. )n the same
trip they also dropped a 6-1 ver
dict to Washburn.
Two Improve
Among the Huskers looking
best during the last trip were
Bob Radin and Andy Bunten.
Both boys have shown continued
improvement as the season has
progressed. They have met play
ers a little bit out of their class
but they have always managed
to put up a fairly strong argu
ment before finally succumbing.
On Friday the Huskers will
meet Kansas Wesleyan of Salina,
Kansas. Little is known about
the caliber of the Wesleyan
squad but Coach Bob Slezak
is hoping that his squad will be
able to muster enough talent to
get the taste of victory under

he pitched the 1948 World's
Champions to their first win and
then came on in the second as
a pinch hitter and clouted a
home run to give the Indians
their second triumph.

Ag-Es Humiliate
Civil Engineers
In Softball, 21-8
The Engineering College of the
University of Nebraska fs well
known for their great bruin
work in such matters as aero
nautics, mechanical research, and
other scientific matters. Now
they are trying to convince the
Husker student body thnt they
also possess qunlitfes in the way
of brawn by holding a softball
tournament.
The Ag Engineers and Civil
Engineers got things off to a
booming start in the initial game
.which found the country boys
comtng out with a 21-8 decision.
The Ag Engineers got off to
a healthy first inning margin as
seven men crossed the plate.
They added , six more to this
score in the second, five in the
third frame, and were satisfied
with three m the fifth. Home
runs were the order of the day.
Men clouting four bnsers for the
Ag men were Wolpa with 2,
Curryl had 1, and Hogan with
one.
The Civil Engineers were able
to score two runs in the first
inning. Their big moment came
m the sixth when they tallied
six more runs. Barton contri
buted the only heavy artillery
for them as he homered in the
sixth with the bases loaded.
The tournament is being held
in conjunction with Engineer's
week. The Ag Engineers will
meet the winner of the Mechanical-Electrical
Engineer game on
April 28 at Pioneer Park.
Another Hurdler
In The Making
For Missouri
Another generation of "hurd
ling Simpsons" is apparently in.
the offing.
George Simpson, 15-year-old
son of Missouri's backfield coach,
entered his first track meet just
two months ago when the state
inter-scholastic indoor meet was
held in Columbia. At that time,
he failed to place in his high
hurdle flight, but ran a credit
able relay leg.
Last week the Hickman high
sophomore took individual scor
ing honors in a dual meet with
Jefferson City, scoring 13 points.
He gathered in firsts in the high
hurdles and 220-yard dash, and
a second in the lows.
The youthful Simpson, who
quarterbacked for the high
school B-team last Fall, has a
significant heritage to uphold.

them will concern Drake, al
though two will be in a general
way only.
Tuesday the Cyclones and
Bulldogs clash in baseball at
Ames. On Wednesday the two
schools again meet at Ames, this
time in tennis. On Friday it will
be the Iowa Collegiate golf meet
at Ames with Drake posing a
serious challenge for the Cy
