McCormick and Kopf
Coach Sharpe has named his
mound choices against the Buffs
as Dick McCormick on Friday
and Del Kopf on Saturday.
A powerful hitting attack and
an efficient mound staff are the
hopes the Huskers are counting
on in Colorado. With ten men
batting at the .300 mark or over
and with McCormick, Kopf,
Bunson and company turning
in good performances, the Husk
ers appear able to sweep the
two-game series.
The Huskers return next week
for a two-game outing against
the leading Sooners in games
scheduled fo- Wednesday and
Thursday.
Coach Sharpe is taking 15 men
on the Colorado jaunt. Top men
making the trip are " Bob Diers
of West Point who is leading
the club both in batting and in
home runs and Bob Reynolds,
second-sacker of Grand Island
who is sporting a good .360 av
erage and is far ahead in the
stolen bases department.

are Jack Shull, Topeka, Kans.;

Husker Netmen
Seek First Win
Coach Ed Higginbotham is
hoping the third time is charm
adage will prevail for his net
rr when they meet the Kan
sas Jayhawks Friday and Wash
burn Saturday in the Sunflower
state.
In their only two meets of the
season, the tennis players have
been shut out by 7-0 scores.
Kansas took them into camp
in the seasonal opener. Last
Saturday the Colorado Buffs
gave them a t?cond straight
drubbing.
Eut the Huskers have taken a
worse beatin from the weather
man than from Colorado and
Kansas. At the start of the sea
son Higginbotham's team spent
more time in the limited Coli
seum quarters than it did out
side. However, he has been more
cooperative this week, and the
team has been able to practice
outside regularly.
Radin In First
Bob Radin continues to hold
down the number one position
on the team. He specializes in
sharp slams.
Jamie Curran is listed in the
second slot. The only portsider
on the squad, he was number
one man d' J-ing the early part
of the 1949-50 season.
He had a tendency to be er
ratic in the first two matches
but should snap out of it as the j
season progresses. He possesses a j
cannon ball service which is
difficult to handle when it is j
on the mark. j
Sophomore Walt Weaver has
the ability to make a name for
himself in Big Seven tennis be
fore he hangs up his racket. He
is exceptionally cool for a first
year man and is effective in
both the defense and offense de
partments. Bunten or Schroeder
Veteran Jeff Delton adds
depth and experience to the
team. Higginbotham has
not
definitely decided whether Andy
Bunten or John Schroeder will
mskp iha frin as th number
f five man.
Bunten is a let' rman and
held down the number three
berth last year. But he has
1 failed to hit his stride during
the current season and may
bow out in favor of Schroeder.
Nebraska will be racing two
onttA rmaHs in Kan and
Washburn. Both schools will i
have the benefit of experience
over the Huskers.
But Higginbotham has hopes ;
that his team will snap out of
its losing ways.
"They Have shown improve-
merit." he stated, "and if this
weather holds we'll improve
more.

The Alumni basketball team
will be seeking its second straight
win over Harry Good's cagers
when the two teams meet Satur
day night at 7:30 in the Coli
seum. '
The Alums will be favored to
win this year as they were last
by as much as twenty points.
Milton "Bus" Whitehead and
Bob Pierce will spearhead the
Alum attack. Whitehead per
formed with the Phillips Oilers
last season, and from all reports
he had a good season.
He stands an even 6-9 while
Pierce measures 6-6 1. This will
give their team a big advantage
in height.
Whitehead set a Husker sea
sonal scoring record of 364 points
during his senior year, but Pierce
broke it last season with 384.
This pair will be backed up by
Anton Lawry, Paul Kipper, Neal
Mosser, Henry Cech, Don Mac
Arthur, Bob Schleiger, Joe
Brown, Darrel Brandenberg, Jess
bell and Bob Gates.
Alums Average 6-5
With Lawry, Pierce, Mosser
and Whitehead on the floor, the
old-timers can field a team
w hich will average 6-5.
Whitehead led them to a 64-61
victroy over the Varsity last year
with 20 points. Pierce sparked
Good's team with 19.
Freshman Bill Johnson will be
the Varsity's main hope in the
height department. He is 6-7.
But even with this height he is
hardly polished enough to cope
with Pierce and Whitehead. He
still needs a lot more drilling in
defense and rebounding.
Another yearling, Don Weber.
will start at forward. He is 6-3,
and Good considers him an out
standing prospect for next year's
team.
Lettermen Start
Three lettermen will round out
the Varsity five. Senior Jim Bu
chanan will start at guard. He
finished up the 1950-51 season
as second high scorer.
Good at Forward
Joe Good will team up with
Weber at the forward posts. He
was third high scorer on the
squad last year.
Norman Wilnes and Bud Ward
are also returning lettermen.

K-State and Colorado
Tie at Buff Relays
By sniriey Aiurpny
The two Big Seven teams that entered the 27th annual Colo
rado Relays tied for first place in the meet with 14 points apiece.
Kansas State and Colorado had a two point lead on number
three winner Colorado A and M. In the college relay division, Colo
rado came in first in the 440-yard relay. Kansas State was first in
both the two-mile relay and the one-mile relay.
.
Dick Towers, a sophomore halfback on the K-State football
team last year, is the top 880 runner and a member of the mile
relay team for Coach Ward Haylette's team.
Grid coach Bill Meek has excused him from the last three
weeks of football praces. Towers finished third in the 880 of the
Big Seven indoor track meet and is considered a threat for outdoor
honors if he gets in shape in time. He participated on both the win
ning K-State teams at the Colorado Relays.
The Cyclone golfers won the 1951 Iowa collegiate title and
showed some remarkable improvement. Coach Hugo Otpoalik is
giving his team members a chance to show their competitive talents
against Grinnell and Kansas State this weekend. He wants to check
over some of these surprising youngsters.
Ed Robinson is the leading hitter for the Kansas State base
ball team. The 200-pound outfielder has hit 6 of 15 trips to the plate
for a solid .400 average.
Dick Johnson is the second leading slugger on Coach Ray
Wau their 's club. This veteran outfielder has hit 8 out of 21 times up
at the plate for a .381 average.
Coach Harry Schmidt will use five men in the Big Seven con
test against K-State in tennis Friday. The tennis men are Terry
Smith, Bill Hukill, Dan McEachron, Dean Harper and Sherill Chris-
