Showdown
The Big-Seven baseball show
down is in the offering for local
sports enthusasts today and to
morrow. Tne loop-leading Okla
homa Sooner arrive today to en
gage the second-place Cornhusk
ers in what promises to be a
thrilling two-game series.
The Sooners come to Lincoln
boasting a 4-0 league record with
twin wins over Kansas State and
over Missouri. The Husker con
ference record stands at 4-1 with
two wins over the University of
Colorado and single wins over
Kansas State and the University
of Kansas. The Huskers' lone loss
was to Kansas in the loop opener
of the search of two lonely peo
low southern life by Tennessee
this week.
A sweep of the two contests by
either team could very well de
termine the Big Seven champion
ship. Both games start at 3 p.m.
The Huskers returned home
Sunday from a victorious trip to
Colorado that saw the Buffs fall
twice to the Nebraskans. The
hosts forced the Huskers all the
way but fell by scores of 6-5
and 13-8.
Tough Road Schedule.
The Sooners are facing a tough
road trip, playing all of their con
ference games in one triD. After
eneaging Oklahoma A & M at
Stillwater in a non-league battle
on Mav 8, the Okies plays at
Nebraska 9-10. at Iowa State,
Mav 9-10, at Iowa State, May
11-1? and at Colorado on May
14-15.
Pitching is the Sooners' strong
deDartment with five lettermen
back from 1950. Jack Shirley,
Who had a 4-2 record last season.
Is Coach .Tank Baer's No. 1
cb'jnker. Shirlev gets the prob
able nod to otart Wednesday

home runs with four.
Reynolds is top man in the
runs-scored department with 19.
He also leads in stolen bases
with 13. Three times he has stolen
home.
Jerry Dunn of Stoughton,
Mass. was the big gun in the
Husker attack in the two games
with Colorado. Dunn collected a
homer, double and three singles
to bring his batting mark from
.216 to .284. Dunn is runnerup
in the home-run division with
two to his credit. The cleanup!

E(U Frosh Trackmen
Rated Best in History
By Shirley Murphy
Kansas University's freshman track team is the postal in
door champions of the Big Seven conference, according to the final
tabulations of Coach Bill Easton.
This track team is rated as the best in the history of the KU
freshman squads. The meet was a comparison by mail of the
times, heights and distances of the freshman who have not been
eligible for varsity competition because of a conference ruling.
The Jayhawkers took the meet with 57 points to Colorado's
52 as runnerup. Oklahoma scored 37 and two-thirds points; Mis
souri, 15; Nebraska, 13 and one-third; and Iowa State, five.
K-State did not participate.
Colorado netmen have been playing a fine season. The Buffs
defeated Iowa State 6-1, and Nebraska, 7-0. Their most recent
game was against Colorado college. In the meet against the col
lege last year, the Buffs were defeated 7-2. Thus Colorado col
lege gained the honor of being the only Colorado school to score
points against the Buffs in 1950.
e
Ray Wauthier as coach of the K-State baseball team is fin
ishing out his first year as a K-State mentor. He is an experi
enced coach as well as an experienced player. He began par
ticipating in baseball seriously when he played with several
ami-professional teams around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dur
ing World War II, his baseball career took place in the Marine
corps. He had previous college work that made It possible to fin
ish school after his discharge within one year. He was infielder
on his college team and coaehed a boy's team at the same time.
He was head coach at Iowa Wesleyan until 1949 when he moved
to Kansas State.
Fraternity softball really got
roiling Monday night with six
games on tap. They were all con
tests that had been slated for the
previous Monday but held up by
rain. Tuesday saw the completion
of the frat first round.
Darre!l Heiss clouted a mighty
grand-slam home run In the sixth
inning of their first round battle
to give the Farm House diamond-
men a 9-6 victory over Pi Kappa
Phi. Going into the sixth in the
seven-inning fray, the Pi Kaps
were holding a sum 6-5 lead.
Dave Jones pitched all the way
for the Aggies in winning. He
allowed eight hits, struck out
two and walked three over the
seven frames. His mates furnished
him with a 5-0 lead after three
and a half innings, but he rah
into serious trouble in the Pi Kap
fourth.
Pi Kaps Roll
The losers jumped on Jones
for four tallies in that frame and
went ahead for the first time in
the fifth with two more runs.
Heiss had the answer in the
sixth, however, and the Farmers
moved into the fraternity second
round.
Kochelek hurled for the losing
Pi Kaps, giving up 11 hits and
walking three. He struck out
none.
Rollie Reynolds led the Aggie
hitting attack with three dou
bles. Ray Gard added another
double and a single. Loerch led
the Pi Kaps with a double and a
single. .. ., .
Delta Tau Delta surprised
supposedly powerful Alpha
Lramma Kho and dumped the
AGR's 15 to 4. The Delts amassed
their runs in the first three
frames, seven in the first, five in
the second and three in the third.
Keith Skalla hurled all the
way for the victors and allowed
but four hits in the five inning
game. The Ag delegation bunched
three of these in the fourth to
score three of their four tallies.!
Skalla struck out four and
walked five.
Two Hurlers
Landgren hurled the first two
innings for the losers and then
gave way to Scheerger who was
only a little more effective. The
Delts clouted the two hurlers for
11 safeties. "
Kennedy led the harrage with
three hits. Goth, Paynich and
Richardson all collected two, one
of Goth's was for the circuit.
Linscott bagged a triple for the
losers.
Phi Delta Theta won a weird
content from Sigma Alpha Epsi
lon by a 7-5 count. The two
teams agreed before the game to
play six innings and after that
time the SAE's were the sup
posed victors by a 5-4 score.
An intramural omciai wan- m
j: a i a jt i . :E",
uerea Dy just men ana directed
them to play the regulation
seven innings since it was still
light enough to do so.
Three-Run Splurge
The Phi Delts took advantage
of this added inning and bunched
three 4 runs to win. Buchanan
hurled Jor the Sig Alphs nnd
Fisher for the Phi Delts. No
more could be obtained from the
scorebook.
Zeta Beta Tau got only two
hits in their first round contest
compared to six for Pioneer
House, but still won on a 9-5
count. The Zates took advantage
of several walks and errors on
the part of the Pioneer fielding
to win.
Pioneer Jumped to a 2-0 lead
in the first Inning and then
watched the ZBT's take the lead
with three runs in their half of
the initial frame. The losers
added two more in the second to
regain the lead once again.
The victors grabbed two count
ers in the third stanza and
stayed in the lead from there on
out. They added another in the
fourth and then clinched things
in the fifth with three more.
Robinson and Vasina twirled
for the winners and losers, re
spectively. Vasina also led the
Pioneers in hitting with two
singles. Milder and Malashock
got the only two ZBT safeties.
Palacers Frolick
Brown Palace had a field day
and blasted Sigma Alpha Mu
26-4. Three big innings featured
the Palacer rout. They scored
seven runs in the second stanza,
eight in the sixth and six in the
seventh.
Eule smacked four hits to lead
the victors' 18-hit barrage. Shuey

by a 22-1 score. The Nu's ran up
runs to the total of three, six,
two, seven, zero and four in the
six innings. The "DU's got" their
lone tally in the third.

it full chance to heal before the
B:g Seven outdoor champion
ships at Columbia, Mo., May 18-19.
Hurdler Dan Tolman, who
missed the Sooner fray because
of knee injury suffered several
weeks ago, may be able to re
turn to action.
Nebraska could win only two
first places against the Sooners.
Lee Alexander was good for
blue ribbons in both the 100 and
220-yard dashes. He ran the cen
tury in ten flat and the furlong
in :21.5.
Dean Brittenham came through
with another first by winning the
javelin. He tossed the spear
176-8 which is the best mark
of his career.
Dick Meissner continued his
argument with Dick Jones in the
high jump. The two men tied for
first place honors at 6-4.
The Kansas Staters uu not pack
a lot of depth. But they do have
individual performers who rank
with the best in the country.
Top among them are Thane
Baker, sprinter; Herb Hoskins,
high broad jumper; and Virgil
Severns, high jump.jr.
Baker, a sophomore, won the
100-yard dash at the Texas Re
lays. When Nebraska met Kan
sas State during the indoor sea

and the quarter mile.
Hoskins has surpassed 24 feet

conference indoor title with a
leap of 24-7. He also bested
Nebraska's Glenn Beerline and
Irving Thode in the KS-KU in
door meet at 23-11.
Severns has been hampered
throughout the season with a bad
leg. But he is reported to be in
shape for the Husker duel. Sev
erns has cleared 6-7 during his
tenure at Kansas State.
Bob Barchus and Jack James
will aid Alexander in the sprints.
Both men were top high school
stars but have failed to hit their
stride in college competition.

Barney Joins
Texas Team
Nebraskan Rex Barnev of th
Brooklyn Dodgers has been sent
deep in the heart of Texas in
hopes that we will find his pitch
ing arm. The "wild man from
Omaha" has found it impossible
to find the plate during his en
tire pitching career.
He finally requested to be
placed on the voluntary retired
list and the Dodgers optioned the
26-year-old right hander to Fort
Worth of the Texas League.
"The first step down is a hard
one," he said somewhat emotion
ally, "but I'm glad I'm doing it
because I really think it is the
first step up."
Previous to his optioning, the
Giants, Braves. Indians and Red
Sox had all shown interest in
acquiring Barney.
He won 15 games for the Dodg
ers in 1948 and pitched a no
hit, no-run game against the
Giants that year. The four clubs
presumably waived on Barney
because he was determined to go
to the minors.
