Bob Diers
BY KIMON KARABATSOS
The University of Nebraska's
baseball team swept into second
place of the Big Seven's cham
pionship race as they took both
games in their double-header
with Kansas University Satur
day afternoon, 7-2 and 4-3.
Despite the Ivy Day cere
monies, 650 fans turned out for
the two games. This represents
one of the largest crowds to
watch Coach Tony Sharpe's nine
this year at home.
Lin Vrbka almost became a
double winner in the games. He
went the entire route the first
game, allowing only three hits
one a home run by Lou DeLuna
In the second inning with one
aboard to represent all Kansas
runs.
He pitched three and a third

job, allowing only one run as he
pitched the last tnree irames.
Only in the final inning was he
under pressure.
Overshadowing the thrills of
the two home runs, DeLuna's
and Bob Cerv's was Dob Dier's
spectacular catch of Carl Ellis'
long fly that had "home run"
written on it.
The not-to-be-cutdone Diers,
running backwards, leaped high
in the air and made a beautiful
one-handed stab, tumbling back'
ward over the fence. He came op
on the other side with the ball
still in his glove, to end a fifth
innine rallv by the Jays.
In the first game, Kansas went
down in order. Nebraska put to
gether two hits for their first
inning run. Diers singled, went
to second on Grogan's hit, ana
scored when Loren Hepler was
quilty of a wild pitch.
Cerv Walked.
Grogan went to third on that
same pitch. Cerv was given an
intentional walk. Bob Denker
worked Hepler for a walk to
load the bases. Tom Novak hit
into a double play, ending the
Huskers first inning.
Kansas came back strong in
the second to score two runs
DeLuna accounted for both of
them as he hit a high hard one
over the fence, scoring Guy
Marby who had been safe on a
fielders choice.
With the bases cleared, Vrbka
settled down and forced Bill
Mace to ground out to third.
Nebraska went down in order
in the second. Kansas followed
suit in the top half of the third.
Hayes and Diers were the first
two men up for the HusKers in
the third, both getting singles.
They pulled a double steal and
Hayes scored on Grogans' long
fly. Dier's came in on another
wild pitch by Hepler.
Kansas managed to get only
two more safe hits as Vrbka

cue when their snorstop
dropped Vrbka's fly.
Cerv, who had been given two
intentional walks the first game
was pitched to only once. He
managed to hold the Jayhawks
down. The Huskers iced the
game in the bottom half of the
sixth on Cerv's home run, Pow

was the first man up for the
Husker's in the sixth and con
nected with the first pitch, and
from the sound of the bat, you
could tell it was a circuit clout.
Sharpe decided to start Vrbka
again since the games were only
seven innings long. The ace
right-hander went through the
first three innings without any
trouble. Coach "Red" Hogan's
boys did manage to get two hits
off the 18 year old Utica lad
one in the first and one in the
second.
Hays opened up the second
game for the Huskers with a
bounding single. Diers walked
and Grogan sacrificed the two
on to second and third.
Cerv drew a walk before Den
ker singled right over second
base, driving in Hays and Diers
for the Husker's first two runs,
Score in Fourth
Neither team threatened or
scored until the fourth. Vrbka,
after almost 11 innings or pitch
ing began to tire. Temple and
Ellis both singled and scored on
Hicks long fly.
Sharpe, after a conference
with Vrbka on the mound, gave
Bob Camp the nod to enter the
game. The first man to face
Camp garnered a single.
Getting the feel of things,
Camp made DeLuna fly out to
Hayes on second. Morrow got
another single, but Camp ended
the rally by striking out pitcher
Carl Sandefur.
The Jayhawks scored their two
runs in the fourth on four hits
and an error by Diers.
In N e b r a s k a's half of the
fourth, Novak walked, Camp got
a single sending Novak to sec
ond. Novak went to third on a
balk and scored a second later
on Hays' sacrifice.
Dier's sensational catch came
in the fifth to provide the third
out and the dampers for a spir
ited Kansas rally.
Cavanaugh grounded out for
Kansas before Koening drew a
base on balls. Temple flyed out
to Diers, but Dier's peg was fast
enough to keep Koening on first.
Ellis came to bat and knocked
out a terrific clout, but Dier's
catch made it the third out.
Dier's catch was reminicent of
Al Gionfriddo's sensational catch
for the Dodgers in the 1948
World Series.
Cerv Scored the final run for
Nebraska as he was safe on an
error. He stole to third and then
high-tailed it home on a squeeze
play with Powley doing the
bunting. Cerv was at the plate
before half the crowd knew what
was coming off. ,., .. . .

ROTC Hours Cut
At Arkansas U
The University of Arkansas
Senate recently gave a death blow
to a plan for extra credit hours
for the basic ROTC. They are
requiring the military department
there to reduce required hours
of attendance to the bare mini
mum as prescribed by the United
States Army and Air Force.
The Senate reduced the class
and drill hours to the minimum
of 90 houra a year which will
allow the military department
more than three hours a week
for certain periods of time but
not over 90 hours per school
year.
Students meet in class two
hours a week and drill two hours.
Drill is disbanded during the win
ter period.

Whitehead Leads Alumni to'
Victory Over Varsity, 64-61
Buchanan's 20
Not Enough for Varsity
By Bob Banks
(Staff Snort Writer)
Husker basketball fans who
are anticipating a mediocre sea
son next year after the power
house teams that Coach Harry
Good has produced during the
last two years may feel a little
different if they were among
those who saw the Alumni-Varsity
exhibition -last Friday night
at the Coliseum. . " '
The crowd that turned out to
see a supposedly vastly inferior
Varsity team get trounced by the
men who sparked the Big Seven
Championship teams received
something of a surprise. Not only
did the Alumni fail to produce
the large margin of victory that
had been expected, but they
JIM BUCHANAN Scoring 20 points for the Varsity in Friday
night's Alumni game, shared high point honors with towering Bus
Whitehead. Heralded by many sports scribes as a possible ail
American in future years, Buchanan is only a sophomore and has
great possibilities.

Bus Whitehead found his
shooting eye late in the first
quarter and things began to pop.
His pivot shots were almost as.
sharp in Friday's game as they
were during the regular season.
However, veterans Pierce nnd
Buchanan, with help from fresh
men, . Roland Rivers, Subby
Ruma, and Joe Good, gave the
Varsity a S4-33 half time lead.
In the second half the two
teams battled on even terms for
the first few minutes. Then
Brown hit- another one-hander
to give the Alums a 44-43 mar
gin which they never relin
quished. The Varsity managed to keep
within breathing distance of the
Alumni and were behind 54-50
with four minutes remaining.
Then Neal Mosser and White
head both made baskets to salt
the game away for keeps.
For the victors, Bus Whitehead
was the main cog as was ex
pected. He tied for scoring hon
ors for the evening with twenty.
Brown's steady sniping from
around the free throw circle
with twelve. The heralded
Claude Retherford was kept well
in check. He managed two field
goals for his night's work. Too
much weight seemed to be the
main problem.
Bright spot in the Varsity
camp was center Pierce. He
hooked up with Whitehead in a
scoring duel and battle on al
most even terms. He got sixteen
markers for the evening and his
defense and rebounding ability
stood out.
Jim Buchanan came through
with his usual dangerous scoring
punch. He tallied twenty points
along with Whitehead.
Keynotes among the freshmen
were Rivers, Ruma, and Good.
Rivers' tremendous height
showed up well on the rebounds
and he seems to know how to
handle himself. Ruma led the
frosh scorers with five points
and he was effective on defense.
Joe Good's ball handling and
floorwork was among the best
on the floor. Given some scoring
punch, he could well make
Husker fans forget the loss of
Chuck Stickels.
The Husker Varsity displayed
a good, fast brand of basketball.
They worked well together on
offense but still need plenty of
tutoring on defensive play.

Tennis Team
Victory Over
The Nebraska tennis team
gathered up the folds of its
somewhat tattered victory man
tle and reenforced it with a 5-2
win over the Iowa State Cy
clones. The matches were played
Saturday on the University
courts.
This was the Huskers second
straight victory and their first
in conference competition. Their
first victory came at the expense
of Kansas Wesleyan.
The victory over the Cyclones
came as a result of team balance
and strength which had been
lacking in previous contests.
The Nebraskans wove their
plans for the win around the
rackets of Bob Radin, Jamie
Curran, and Jerry Magee.
All three of these tennis play
ers emerged victorious in their
singles matches. -
Radin came through success
fully in taking over the number
one spot on the team. He is im
proving as Coach Slezak had
predicted. He won his second
straight singles match by defeat
ing Terry Smith.
Curran appeared to be more
effective in the number two po
sition on the team. He picked up

Doubles
Both Cornhusker doubles
teams iced the tilt for Nebraska
by taking the full measure of
the Iowa State doubles combina
