Baseball Team Opens Against
Drake on Nebraska Diamond
Coach Tony Sharpe's Univer
sity baseball team makes its 1951
debut at 3 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m.
Saturday when it meets Drake
University in a two-game series
On the Husker home lot
The Cornhuskers, defending
Big Seven champions, will be
without the services of ten let
termen from last year's squad.
However, Sharpe will have
veterans Bob Diers of West
Point, Bill Jensen of Denver,
Kay Mladovich of Omaha and
Del Kopf of Lexington to bolster
the sophomore studded squad he
has assembled this spring.
Pitching is Mentor Sharpe's
biggest worry right at the mo
ment. Potential Chuckers
"We have some good potential
chuckers in Dick McGormick of
Silver Creek, Al Benjamin of
Milan, Mich., Bill Anderson of
Ord, Dale Bunsen of Bertrand
and Henry Mullen of Connells
ville, Pa., he stated, "but not one
of them have the necessary ex
perience on the bill."
Sharpe believes he will have a
fair defensive club, especially
down the middle, with Grand
Island's Bob Reynolds at second
and Diers patroling the center
field pasture.
Main Cornhusker hitting hopes
will ride with Diers, Mladovich
and Jerry Dunn of Stoughton,
Mass.
Consistent Hitters
"These boys won't provide us
with the overwhelming power we
had in Bob Cerv, Tom Novak
and Bill Denker," he explained,
"but they should be good con
sistent hitters.''
Coach Sharpe will work his
pitchers three innings at a time
for the first few games.
His probable chuckers for the
Drake series will be Kopf, Mc
Cormick, Anderson, Bunsen,
Benjamin and George Nutt of
Lincoln. Nutt is the only south
paw pitcher on the team.

AROUND THE LOOP...
Lovellette Rated First
In Final Tabulation
By Shirley Murphy
The Daily Kansan's final scoring tabulation shows, to nobody's
surprise, that little Clyde Lovellette took the lion's share of con
ference title's this year in basketball
Lovelette tops in field goals (245), personal fouls (97), total
points (548), and scoring average (22.8). He left the free throws to
Marcus Freiberg from Oklahoma who scored 147.
George Hess of Iowa State made the biggest late season climb.
He moved into 19th place in final tabulation. Bob Pierce of Ne
braska stands in second place of the list with a 16.7 average. Husker
Jim Buchanan is fourth in tabulations with a 12.9 average.
"Most valuable wrestler" title at Iowa State goes to Bob Wilson,
137-pounder. The honor was founded this year by Walter Smith, a
former conference champ, who offered an engraved silver ring to go
with the title.
Wilson was conference king last year in the 137-pound division.
A junior this year, he captained the team and wound up second in
the conference. He received the title by election of the freshman and
varsity wrestling squads. Wilson was second in individual scoring
with 23 points.
The award was based on the team spirit, wrestling skill, good
sportsmanship and ability to "pat teammates on the back when
spirits were low" that Wilson showed throught the season.
Bud Wilkinson, Oklahoma football coach, is considering using an
all -sophomore secondary defense this fall composed of Larry Grigg
and Billy Bookout at defensive halves and Jack Ging at safety. They
lost their secondary of last year with Tommy Gray and Ed Lisak at
defensive halves and Buddy Jones, Ail-American safety.
Ernie Barrett of K-State was one of the big factors in the West's
decisive victory over East in basketball.

BOBBY REYNOLDS . . .the
Ail-American halfback will
show his versatility by playing
second base for Tony Sharpe.
Grange Chosen
On AP Team
Harold "Red" Grange, the "gal
loping ghost" of Illinois, was al
most a unanimous choice for one
of the halfback slots on the all
time ail-American football team.
The fabulous runner with the
phantom hips rolled up the larg
est point total of all the men fig
uring in the coast-to-coast ballot
ing. The Illinois ace accumulated
704 points which was more than
other such standouts as Jim
Thorpe, the old Carlisle Indian;
Notre Dame's George Gipp and
Johnny Lujack; Michigan's Tom
Harmon and Willie Heston and
Chicago's Jay Berwanger re
ceived. Grange was a logical choice. He
entered Illinois in 1922 and when
he was graduated he had scored
31 touchdowns, gained 3,637
yards rushing and 643 passing.
He drew 738,555 fans to his home
performances.

THE BENCH WARMER
By Bob Banks
Assistant Sport Editor
April Fools Day is over. So
Harry Filley went back to his
stable, the board of regents re
turned to their accustomed duties,
Clyde Lovellette is still 6 feet,
nine inches tall and the gambling
case was solved.
Best of all, Bobby Reynolds re
considered the KU offer and de
cided to stay in Cornhuskcrland.
Likewise, the sports staff, after
racking its brain power to the
limit for corny ideas, can resume
a usual pace. All of our budding
Grantland Rices thought it was a
lot of fun, but everyone chimed
in at once with a "thank good
ness, it only happens once a
year."
Bad Journalism
First thing' on our docket to
day concerns Phog Allen's state
ment that he was a victim of
"bad journalism" concerning his
story on an Eastern school offer
ing Bob Reynolds $10,000 and a
Cadillac to come and play for it.
"Bad journalism" maybe so,
maybe no. But it is not too likely
that a wire service with the repu
tation which the Associated Press
has could deliberately twist and
distort a story to the degree which
the eternal Allen claims.
Tripe
We do not claim to be in the
same crystal-ball-gazing league
with Lolly Parsons, but we will
bet that a forthcoming grid movie,
"The Hero," will be just as much
tripe as the usual Hollywood pro
duction concerning college foot
ball. Mui-Phy
The Lincoln Journal snorts staff
may . have June Bierbower, but
tVia Tlailv Nrfirnskan has Shirlev
Murphy. Miss Murphy, the latest
"new look" on me sports stair,
has been doing a highly com
mendable job in her capacity as
a columnist, prognosticator and
reporter. Keep u up, &niriey.
Davis
It's the truth during the time
that Glen Davis, ex-All-American
footballer from West Point,
was clamoring for a discharge
from the army he declared that
his assignment in Korea was to
tally unimportant and unneces
sary. WelL Davis got his discharge
from the army and at the last re

port was honeymooning in Mexico
with movie starlet Terry Moore.
Just a few months earlier an
other West Poiiit gridder, end Jim
Trenton, gave his life on the very
soil which Davis had spurned.
Wonder what Davis has to say
now?
Barney
Last year just before the major
league baseball campaign began
a sports magazine carried an ar
ticle entitled "Will Rex Barney
Win 20 Games?" Barney, a wild
pitcher for Brooklyn, had a mis
erable season. A novel article this
year would be "Will Rex Barney
Make The Dodger Varsity?"
Snort
Sport Snort: When Bernie Mas
terson, the ex-Husker football
coach, was making his debut for
the Chicago Bears he was sent
into a game with instructions to
run an off-tackle play on the first
down, a quarterback sneak on the
second and to punt on the third.
The ball was resting on the Bear
25-yard line.
The off-tackle play advanced
the ball to the opponents' 35-yard
line. Then Masterson, a quarter
back, went through on a sneak
to . the five. And believe it or
noton third down he went back
and booted the ball high into the
stands. Wonder if he was a
PBK?

DICK MEISSNER .... veteran
high jumper won the Purdue
Relays title with a leap of 6
feet 4 inches.
Nebraska Cindermen Win
Places in High Jump, Vault
Dick Meissner, star Husker
high jumper, upset the dope
bucket at the Purdue Relays Sat
urday night by taking first place
in his pet event.
The veteran won the title with
a leap of 6 feet 4 inches. This
was well above his last competi
tive jump in the Big Seven indoor
meet when he landed in a four
way tie for second place at 6
feet inches.
Meissner also holds the all
time Nebraska indoor mark of 6
feet 5 inches. The former rec
ord, 6 feet 4 inches was set by
Monte Kinder.
Another Scarlet trackster. Don
Cooper, managed to tie for runner-up
honors in the pole vault
He cleared 13 feet 2 Inches. But
this effort was far below the
York senior's usual form. Dur
ing the indoor season Cooper
vaulted 14 feet 5 inches to es
tablish a new record.
Leonard Kehl failed to place
in the pole vault He was like
wise far off his usual form. He
won the conference indoor title
at Kansas City with a mark of
13 feet 6 inches.

The meet was featnrei by
other upsets too. Dean Deuel of
the University of low palled an
upset by winning the low Hurdles
in :06.9 and defeating favored
Jesse Thomas of Michigan State.
Another surprise came in the
60-yard dash when Miami's Jim
Bailey edged Michigan Stater
Arthur Ingram with a clocking
of :06.3.
Both the hurdle and the dash
mark were one tenth of a second
over the meet records.
Illini vaulter Don Laz soared 14
