Golfers Seek
Seventh Win
Saturday
The Cornhusker golf crew will
be seeking their seventh victory

go against the Iowa State Cy
clones this Saturday at Hilfcrest
club.
The team warmed up for their
Big Seven match by thoroughly
trouncing Creighton University
aionaay aiternoon 5-3.
Coach Marvir "Preacher"
Franklin can look orward to
some bright golf records for the
next two years if his men live
up to the record they are mak
ing for themselves this year.
The team is almost wholly
dominated by sophomores who
have been seeing most of the
action this year.
The only upperclassmen on the
traveling team is Steve Flans-
burg. He is a returning squad
man from last year.
Joe Gifford has been leading
the golfers so far this year. He
shoots in the low 70's quite con
sistently. Dick Spangler occupies the
number two berth. He also shoots
in the 70's.
These two men are followed by
Flansburg and Doug Dale in the
third and fourth positions to
form a well-balanced squad.
The first doubles team is made
up of Gifford and Spangler. They
are closely followed by Dale and
Flansburg.
Tennis Matches
Eighteen tennis matches are on
deck for today in the intramural
tennis tournament
Contestants are cautioned that
finytime the matches are cancel
led because of rain the next day's

to find out the pairings.
The following matches are
scheduled to be played tonight
Kansas Has First Punting
Lineman in Big 7 Circles
Since Nebraska's Pesek
Punting linemen have been
scarce in Big Seven football cir
cles, but Kansas will come up
'ith three next autumn when
Siki Sikes pulls the wraps off
his third Jayhawk edition.
Holdovers from last year are
Dolph Simons, senior guard
from Lawrence, and Bill Mace,
bulky Coffeyville convert who
has been shifted from fullback
o fcuard. The newcomer is
George Mrkonic, the 207-pound
"esnmn tackle from McKees
Port, p.
Mce and Simons handled all
Jaynawk panting last year, the
prmtr finishing fifth among
eig Sven kickers with a 38.1
average on 34 boots. Simons,
ho filled the breach left by
Frank Pattee's loss in 3948 so
capably, ranked 32th with a 31.7
mean. Mrkonic has been kick
ing long and hich all soring.
All three, along with Charlie
oag, the well-regarded fresn
man halfback from Chicago, will
see plenty of action Saturday
Tvhen the Jayhawks collide in
their third annual spring game
l 2 p. m. in Memorial stadium.
Hoag's accuracy may earn him
the club's No. 1 booting chores
next fall.
First Since Pesek.

New Tennis
Team Meets
Iowa State
Coach Bob Slezak will send an
entirely rearranged tennis team
against the Iowa State Cyclones
this Saturday.
The team seems to pack more
balance than Slezak had antici
pated. At the start of the sea
son Jamie Curran occupied the
number one berth. He was fol
lowed by Frank Redman, Bob
Radin, Andy Bunten and Jerry
Magee.
In a challenge match last
night, Radin moved into the top
berth by taking the full measure
of Curran in two straight sets.
The first set ended 6-3 in
Radin's favor. He took the nod in
the second set to the tune of 6-0.
The team that will go against
Iowa State in the singles matches
will have Radin in the number
one spot, Curran at number two,
Magee at the number three posi
tion, Bunten in the fourth berth,
and Delton in the fifth position.
In the doubles Curran and
Bunten will play Radin and Ma
gee for the number one doubles
berth.
Redman and Delton will prob
ably challenge the losing team
for the number 2 doubles berth.

Game Depends on
Condition Says Good
By Kimon Karabatsos
"It will all depend on what
kind of shape the Alumni will
be," said basketball Coach Harry
Good, when asked , what he
thought the out-come of the
Varsity-Alumni game to be held
Friday night in the Coliseum.
The game, scheduled to start
at 7:30, will have all the trim
mings of a real conference tilt.
Both teams will have members
of championship outfits playing.
It will be a battle of "stars of
yesteryears" against what Good
nopes, -stars of tomorrow."
Two of Good's most outstand
ing playeis will be competing
for the "Old-timers". Claude
Retherford, the Indiana hot-shot,
and giant Bus Whitehead will
lead the grads star-studded
field.
Retherford established a new
school scoring record last year
only to have it surpassed by
Whitehead this year. For a lot of
the first year students, it will
mean their first elanr at tho
antics of holster-shooting Claude,
who led the . Huskers to their
first conference crown in many
years in 1949.
Bus in Farewell
In Whitehead, the crowd will
see Bus make his farewell ap
pearance of college play at
Nebraska. Whitehead, who re
cently, turned down a profes
sional offer from the Chicago
Stags, will play for the National
AAU champions Phillips Oilers.
Standing as a paramont obsta
cle to Whitehead will be the
Varsity's Bob "Shorty" Pierce.
The ex-Lincoln High whiz has
improved a great deal over the
past year and could make it a
long evening for Whitehead if. he
is hitting.
Afone of the guard spots for
Good will be Jim Buchanan, who
like Retherford, is from Indiana.
Buchanan has one year of
varsity experience under his belt
and won wide acclaim in the
Big Seven with his long-shots
from mid-court. Buchanan hit
his peak for the 1950 season
against Colorado and reports
from spring drills have him
better than ever.
Two "B" team members who
are up from the ranks for their
remaining competition, also con
stitute a threat to the favored
Alumni.
Two 'B Members
Jess Sell, a 6-3 forward, and
Paul Kipper . will be going
BRING YOUR SHOPPING BAG AND
been consistently low-man for the
against top-notch players for the
first time, but should add to the
Varsity's scoring punch.
Sell was high scorer for the
"B" team last season with 134
points in 12 games. Kipper was
close on his heels with 125.
Eddie LeGrande had 80 and Rex
Pettijohn added 40 for Coach
Neal Mehring's Nubbins.
Norm Wilnes, a substitute for
ward on the 1950
I should also add a few points for
me yasity. Wilnes, even though
he did not see too much action
last season, has shown definite
promise and improvement thru
out spring drills.
Leading the pack of Freshmen
who hope to make" good in the
Varsity circle next year are Ro
land Rivers, Joe Good, Bob Mer
cier, Ted Connors and Jim Sny
der. River's, an all-State center last
year, was one of the Freshmen
highlights during the past sea
son. He stands six feet six inches
and packs enough weight to give
him plenty of authority around
the backboards.
Coach Good's son Joe has also
shown plenty of skill in the back
court. An expert on the long
shots, young Good is one of the
better ball-handlers on the team.
Snyder Adds Height
Adding more height to the
Varsity is six-four Jim Snyder.
Snyder, another Malacek when it
come to re-bounding, is good on
both set shots from the corners
as well as slashing drive-ins.
Ted Connors, three-sport star
at Hastings high school, uses his
190 pounds to good advantage
under the boards. He stands 6
2,2 and can work from either the
pivot or forward spots.
One member who would nrob-
ably be seeing plenty of action
Friday night with the Varsity
will have to watch from the
bench.
Graves Holloway has been the
hospital ever since Spring vaca
tion. He had his ankle operated
on then to remove a chipped
bone. Good said that he will
probably be seeing plenty of
action for the Vasity next season.
The Varsity will have to over
come a lot of height as well as
experience to beat the Alumni
who might be a litte out of shape
for the contest, so a fast running
game will be in store as the two
teams who have been trained by
Harry "run-em-in-the-boards"

Students are funny, thousands
turn out for University football
and basketball games, but just a
few take time out to watch
America's number one sport
baseball.
Perhaps it would be different
if the Husker's baseball team was
losing most of their games, but
they are resting in second place
with a very good chance of re
capturing the baseball crown
that they lost last year to Kansas
University.
I-very team needs it's fans to
give them a boost when they
are down and out und every
team needs loyal supporters to
cheer them on to victory.
It's not that I'm asking you
to go out to a game which
would bore you to death or the
like, the brand of ball played
in the Big Seven and by Ne
braska is excellent as far as
colleges go. You will see the
same double plays and the
same home runs that you
would in any major league
baseball park.
Hits and plays that bring
thousands of people to their
feet In near crowd hysteria are
not restricted to the majors. In
fact, Nebraska has three power
hitters who are just as apt to
knock one out of the park as
not.
Howie Powley, Bob Cerv and
Ray Mladovich have all con
nected for circuit blows. In Liu

For a sport that has made
the hot-dog famous through
out the world, baseball is given
a poor rating- by students. You

town, but a lot of those faces

Kappa Sigs Slam A TO 's;
Sig Nu 's
BY BILL MUNDELL
Assistant Sports Editor.
Kappa Sigma roared into a
second place tie in League I of
intramural softball Tuesday
night by slapping a 16-4 shel
lacking on Alpha Tau Omega.
The Kappa Sig win was defi
nitely of the- upset class as the
Taus were winners of three
games and loser of only their
contest with the league leading
Sigma Nu's.
As it was, the win was a gift
to the Kappa Sigs as the ATO
pitchers gave up 12 bases on
balls and advanced three men to
first base by hitting the batter.
With all these men on base the
Kappa Sigs needed only four
hits to run away with the game.
The losing Taus batted out six
safeties off the efforts of win
ning hurler, Wagner.
The league leading Siga Nu's
had a close squeak in racking
up their fourth straight win. The
leaders took a hard fought 6-5
victory over Sigma Alpha Epsi
3on. Weibles and and Altman on
the mound for the victors, al
lowed the SAE's only four hits,
one of which was Hale's home
run in the first inning with a
mate aboard which gave the
SAE's a temporary 2-0 lead.
The Nu's in turn, clouted los
ing pitcher Burris for ten safe
hits but Burris kept the hits
pretty well scattered.
Goes Ten Innings
In the longest game of the sea
son, Tau Kappax Epsilon upset
Brown Palace, 4-2 in ten in
nings. The Tckes, winless up to
Tuesday's contest, scored two
runs in the top of the tenth to
win.
Successive singles by McDole
and Bahde and then with one
out, a base cleaning double by
Anderson, were the blows that
broke up a fine pitcher's duel by
Williams of Brown Palace and
Soder of the Tekes.
The Tekes were outhit, 7 to 9,
in the contest, but were behind

Kansas at Nebraska

Coach Tony Sharpe's baseball
team and the Kansas University
Jayhawks will provide the fire
works in Big Seven conference
play this week end.
Two excellent games are in
the making and may prove to be
deciding factors when the final
tabulations are turned in at the
end of the season for the Big
Seven crown.
The Big Seven's champ will
play the winner of the Missouri
Valley conference for a spot In
the NCAA tournament to be held
in Omaha next month.
Jays Defend
Kansas is defending champion
and is currently tied for fourth
with Missouri and Kansas State.
Nebraska, tied for second with
Oklahoma, was the 1948 cham
pions. Getting the starting nod on the
mound for Nebraska will be Lin
Vrbka, the Huskers number one
moundsman. Tom Novak will
handle his regular catching
cnores.
Sharpe has indicated that he
will use Bob Camp on the hill
for the second game. This is the
same battery that Sharpe used
against Missouri when the Hus
kers took a clean sween at Co
lumbia. Bob Cerv is currently leading
the Huskers on safe hits as well
as extra base blows. He has
knocked out 26 hits in 54 times
at bat for a .484 average.
His .484 puts him way ahead
of the batters in the Big Seven
conference.
Two Home Runs
Rightfielder Howie Powley
gave notice to all power hitters
that he was after the Big Seven's
home run record as he pounded
out two against Oklahoma one
through you will they be able to
get it.
Maybe it isn't exactly right to
plead with the students to go
to baseball games, but if this is
the only way that we can get
them out, we from the sports
desk will continue to do so.
Take 4th
Hohnstein of the Palace had
slugged a four-bagger.
Theta Xi took over undis
puted position of first place in
league III as the TX boys had
dropped Sigma Alpha Mu, 7-2,
behind the one-hit pitching of
Torczon. The win now jjives TX
a record of three wins and one
loss and coupled with the Brown
Palace loss, breaks the tie be
tween the two outfits.
The winners, rallying behind
the chucking of Torczon, touched
Sammie hurler. Madid for nine
safeties.
Delta Sigs Roll
Delta Sigma Phi cilmbed into
second place in League III Tues
day, taking Farm House in stride
7 to 3. A four run last inning was
needed by the Delta Sigs, how
ever to notch their second win
of the season.
A three run lead of the win
ners was quickly swallowed up
by the Farm House men in the
second frame as the first three
men at bat, walloped mighty
home runs. The blows by Lam
bert and Watson were legitimate
while the hit by Johnson was a
bit doubtful, touching the glove
of the Delta Sig left-fielder.
Tho ruled as an error, Johnson
came all the way home to score.
Wallick, chucking for the
winners, kept the Aggies in con
trol after that big inning, and al
lowed only two hits from then
on. Longest blow by the victors
was Arter's first inning double
to right.
Pioneer Co-op remained in a
first place tie in league IV by
downing Theta Chi, 4-1. for their ;
fourth straight win. One-hit
pitching by Pioneer Holmes took
the spotlight. Lead-off man Hoi-
ling for the Theta Chi's got the
only safe hit off Holmes in the

Nelson on the mound for tha
victors, allowed the Pi Kaps only
two hits and sent six down

Another two-hit performance
was chalked up by Sigma Pi,
pitcher Hinkley, as the Delta

of these were with men' on base.

lon Tuesday night. The contest,
close all the way, was eventually
decidde by the 11 bases on balls
