Delts Win Second Rounds
I raternities completed their
i-wond" round of the intramural
Softball tournament Friday eve

three very close contests and two
complete runaways. The third
rounds, which was postponed
Monday because of rain, is sched
uled for Tuesday, weather per
mitting along with the Indepen
dent title clash between Practical
Arts and the Lilies. ,
Delta Sigma Phi rolled up the
most lop-sided victory of many
Softball seasons Friday as they
waltzed to a 80-0 win over
Acacia. The game, starting at 5
P.m., was called two arid a half
hours later because of darkness
after only six Innings.
The Delta Sig sluggers whacked
out a ridiculous total of 31 hits
as they scored in every inning
except the third. They notched
five runs in each the first, sec
ond and sixth frames, two in the
fourth and 13 in the fifth in the
Jong contest for the Masons.
Wilson Allows Four
Billy Wilson, on the mound all
the way for the winners, allowed
but four hits during the game,
one each to four different men.
He struck out seven and walked
none. Allen hurled for the Aca
cias and was victim of the stun
ning defeat. He struck out two
and walked three.
Don Delli Faoli, Delta Sig sec
ond baseman, led the slugging
rout with a perfect day at the
platesix for six. Included in his
barrage of safeties were three
home runs and one triple.
Pitcher Wilson helped his own
cause along with five hits in six
attempts. Darrell Adamson clout
ed two doubles and two singles in
five trips to the plate while Pete
Slusar and John Scheidegger each
got three for four, including three
doubles between them.
Marbaker, Blunk, Cunningham
and Lammers were the four Ma
sons reaching first base on sin
gles. Wagner Sparkles
Don Wagner hurled a no-hit
no-run game Saturday morning as
Kappa Sigma squashed Phi Kappa
Psi, 19-0. Wagner, thus becomes
the second man to turn this trick

WOUND THE LOOP...
Tigers Top Opponents
With 76 Point Margin
By Shirley Murphy
After a walloping victory over Notre Dame in track, Coach
Tom Botts of Missouri was optimistic over the meet at KU next
weekend.
The Tigers boast a 105-26 tally. They won 14 firsts. In the
course of events, five records were broken by Missouri men. Here
is Coach Botts' remark about the up-coming KU meet.
"It wasn't our strength that gave us such an overwhelming
margin, but Notre Dame's weakness."
According to the Kansas State Collegian, Herb Hoskins has
done tfce impossible. Many people consider it impossible to write
right handed all the time and then change over to left and still
write with a pretty script. Hoskins has done a comparable feat
The champion broad jumper completely revamped his jump
ing style after sustaining a severe injury to his right ankle in
practice. As soon as he could put weight on his injured foot, he
started practicing the jump from his left instead of right foot
His gumption has paid off. In competition against Kansas,
Hoskins copped first place with a 22-8 and seven-eights leap. This
is only a foot shorter than he usually jumps.
The entire Big Seven conference saw track action last weekend.
Six of the members competed against fellow Sevenites. Colorado,
Kansas University and Oklahoma all topped their opponents.
Colorado defeated Iowa State. Kansas came out over K-State.
Oklahoma over-pointed Nebraska. The only Big Seven team not
to play a fellow conference member was Missouri who won over
the "fighting Irish."

turned in the first no-hitter on
the opening day of the season.
Wagner was master of the Fhl
Psl's all the way as he struck out
12 and walked but five. '
The Kappa Sigs only garnered
six hits during rout off losing
pitcher Buster Lehman, but capi
talized on 13 bases on balls and
some timely errors. '
Two Big Frames
Two big innings spelled humil
iating defeat foi the Phi Psi's. The
victors chalked up eight runs in
the second frame and nine in
the fifth for all but two of their
tallies. Those came in the fourth.
Frank Mnuk and Chuck Deuser
opened the second with singles
and then rode home on five suc
cessive walks and two errors.
The fifth stanza was practically
the same story. Lehman issued
five consecutive bases on balls
and then allowed Bill Reinsch
and Bud Schaberg a single apiece.
Following that came a Phi Psi er
ror and two more walks.
Wagner didn't need the two
outbursts, however, as anv run
would have been enough for the
pitching wizard.
Mnuk Leads Way
Mnuk led the way in hitting for
the victors with two for four. His
fourth inning homer provided the
two runs in that frame.
The three other contests were
the thrillers.
Brown Palace and Zeta Beta
Brown Palace and Zeta Beta
Tau hooked up in real old
fashioned pitcher's duel In their
second round struggle with the
Palacers coming out on top 1-0.
Mel Williams and Burt Robin
son really went to town in mow
ing down the opposition. Robin
son weakened only once, in the
fourth, but that was long enough
for the Palacers to push across
the winning tally.
Winning Stanza
Hal Bonness led off the fourth
with a weak roller but wound up
on first on an error. Morrisly and
D o r r y Oldenberg immediately
took advantage of the situation
and baneg dout singles to drive
in the lone tally.
Robinson was touched for only
seven safeties during the fray.
Palacer Williams did even better,
allowing but six blows.
The Zates had their chance in
the second inning as five consecu
tive men reached first base, but
they couldn't capitalize on their
opportunity as three men were
cut down at the plate.
Perfect at Plate
Oldenberg and Bob Malaschock
led the victors and losers, respec
tively in the hitting department.
Both boys clouted three hits in
as many trips to the plate.

on the
feature thid round rame Tues
day. . .
Sigma Nu won a close game
from Phi Delta Theta in a game
that sa wonly nine hits. The Nu's
were victors by a 5-3 score.
One in Each
The winning Sig Nu attack
ground out one run in each of
the first, third, fourth, sixth and
seventh innings while the Phi
Delts spurted in the fourth for all
three of their counters.
Lyle Altman held the Phi Delts
to but three hits in registering the
win. He struck out three and
walked one.
The Phi Delta got two of their
safeties in their fourth stanza up
rising. Don Secord led off with a
single and advanced to second on
Dave Graefs sacrifice. Louie Ro
per hit a slow roller to the infield
and all hands weer safe when the
play was made at third and Se
cord beat the throw.
Three runs crossed the plate
after that on an error on Sig Nu
third baseman and a hit by Don
Wahl.
The victors obtained six hits off
the servings of Ken Fisher. Pitch
er Altman led the way with a
triple.
, Overtake Aggies
Delta Tau spotted Farm House
eight runs in the first two frames
and then rallied to take-a 10-8
victory. The Aggies grabbed a
5-0 lead in their half oi the first
and, added three more in the sec
ond, appearing to have the game
well sewed up.
They rapped eight safeties off
Delt hurler Keith Saklla in those
two frames, but were rudely halt
ed by the Delt pitcher after that
Those weer the only hits off
Skalla during the rame.
The Delts got back two runs in
the first inning and added ano
ther three in the third. A three
run outburst in the fifth tied the
score at 8-8 and a two-run rally
in the sixth wrapped up the con
test. Paynich Big Gun
George Paynich was the big
boy for the Delts in the closing
stages of the game with a two
run ohmer in the fifth and a run-
batted-in triple in the sixth.
Chucker Skalla also had two hits
for the winners. Ralph Hild led
the lowers with two safeties.
Skalla allowed eight hits,
struck out two and walked eight.
Jones hurled for the Farm House
softballers and struck out seven
while issuing five bases on balls
and six hits.
Pfieff Thought
Links Would
f OTTIO I IllWII fT M
VAMIlt A IlrOUS II
Both the coaches and the ath
letes firmly believe they had the
ability to win the Class A state
track title.
Thusly did Bill Pfeiff, Lincoln
high track coach, sum up the fi
nal appraisal of the 1951 Ne
braska cinder meet and the way
the Links ascended to the throne.
Pfeiff said both he and his as
sistant, Harold Scott, refused at
any time during the season to
doubt that when the carnival was
over their team would emerge
victorious.
This even included the time
when Lincoln high's star pole
vaulter, Bob Selden, was put out
of action for the season with a
broken ankle. Selden suffered the
injury in an Omaha meet when
he broke his ankle clearing 12
feet.
But the two Lincoln high
coaches still had visions of a track
title. Both men figured the race
would be exceedingly close. But
jthey also believed past perform
lances proved their Links would
have the stuff to come through in
a clutch.
And the trophy Saturday repre
sented five years of hard work
and struggle for Pfeiff and Scott.
Coached Five Years
The two mentors have directed
Lincoln high cinder teams since
1947. Pfeiff also coaches the Var
sity football team, and Scott han
dles the Reserves.
Both coaches were stars on the
Lincoln track teams of the middle
thirties. But this . is their first
state championship since they
took over the reins.
The 1951 title showed the prog
ress which the Links have made
under the tutelage of Pfeiff and
Scott
Lincoln finished seventh in
1947; they wound up fourth in
1948; and in 1949 and 1950 they
finished behind Scottsbluff and
Omaha Tech.
During those years they boasted
nf such ereat Drep stars as Hobe
! Jones, half miler; Bert Cook, pole
vaulter; Jack Greer, discus throw
' er: and Jerry YowelL shot putter.
But even these stalwarts were
too thinly spread to bring the
Class A title to the Lincoln high
trophy case. .
.Jones was one of the best naif
milers in the history of Nebraska
track. He broke Bobby Ginn's
state record repeatedly in duals
and invitationals but was unable
to crack it in the state meets.
Accustomed to Winninr
Pfeiff and Scott are. accustomed
to being big cogs in champion
ship track teams.
Back in 1935 they accounted for
three blue ribbons as Lincoln
high swept to a state track title.
Pfeiff won first in the shot
put and discus, while Scott
chipped in with a first in the
broad jump.
The following year Pfeiff. shat
tered the Nebraska shot put rec
ord with a heave of 52-2 which is
still in the books and also won
the discus. Scott tied for first in
the high jump.
The Links put forth a well
balanced squad this year. Brien
Hendricksen won both sprints
Dave Jopes and Ladd Hanscom
placed second in the half mile and
broad jump, respectively. And the
Lincoln high relay teams really
came through when the chips!

. An era of All-Amcrican quar

to a close when Bobby Williams
is graduated this June. The Fight
ing Irish have been led by some
of the best signal callers in the
nation since 1940 when Angelo

during the years when Notre
Dame football was at its worst.
The Cadets of West Point plas
tered the Irish with humiliating
defeats. Even the Annapolis Mid
dies squeezed by the South Bend
ers. But Daneoweiz was still rated
as having all the assets of a fine
quarterback, a good passer, slick
ball handler and clever field gen

He was followed by what may
well be one of the greatest one

annals of football.

Spring Sports
Reach Climax
Spring sports will reach their
climax this week end around the
Big Seven.
A trio of conference champion
ships outdoor track, tennis and
golf will be at stake. The Okla
homa Sooners could put the final
capper on conference activities by
clinching the baseball title.
The majority of the action will
take place at Columbia, Mo. The
track meet will be staged there
this year. Preliimnaries will be
run off Friday and finajs Satur
day. Columbia will also be the site
of the tennis meet on Friday and
Saturday.
The golf meet will be run off
at a Kansas City golf course on
Friday and aSturday. It is usually
held at the site of the track meet.
Nebraska is defending cham
pion in the track meet. But its
squad has been badly depleted by
injuries and losses to the armed
forces. As a result Kansas, Mis
souri and Oklahoma will probably
battle it out for the final Big
Seven cinder laurels.
No definite announcement has
been made on the condition of
Vaulter Don Cooper. He suffered
an injury in the Drake Relays
when trying for 15 feet Since
thattime he has been out of ac
tion and has been receiving treat
ment for the injury. Nebraska
hopes will rise if he can compete.

Lujack led the Irish to a na
tional football championship and
won every major award in the na
tion. Frank Tripucka assumed the
quarterback reins, and the Irish
tradition remained unbroken.
Head Football Coach Frank Leahy
describee1 him as "an even better
ball handler than Lujack."
Williams stepped in after Tri
pucka's departure and many
hailed him as the greatest quar
terback in Notre Dame history.
Most authorities agree he did
not quite reach those dimensions,
but at least the spell still remained
unbroken.
Mazur Best
Next year veteran Johnny
Mazur will be the best of a not-too-impressive
group of Irish
quarterbacks. The crystal-ball
gazers predict he cannot possibly
match the feats of his fabulous
predecessors.
Only after the 1951 football
season is history will be able to
know the true ability he possesses.
But even his coaches are not ex
pecting miracles.
West Point, too, has a long line
of great quarterbacks. Included
among them are such greats as
Lombardi, Kenna, Tucker, Galiffa
and Bob Blaik, son of Coach Earl
Red Blaik.
He probably will not be called
Mr. Quarterback of 1951. That
title belongs to Vito "Babe" Pa
rilli of Kentucky.
But Blaik is rated as a fine
passer, punter and signal coller.
His main weakness, according to
the experts, is his running.
AU-Amerlcan Backs
One does not have to crawl very
far out on a limb o pick what
should be the Ail-American back
field of 1951.
At quarterback we have Pa
rilli, the same gent who led his
teammates to victory over our
neighboring Sooners in the Sugar
Bowl.
' The halfback slots could be
filled by Husker Bob Reynolds
and Ohio State5s Vic Janowicz.
Handling fullback duties may
well be Al Pollard of West Point
He is rated the best Cadet line
bucker since Boc Blanchard was
in his prime.
It is not very risky to pick these
four men primarily because three
of them, Parilli, 'Janowicz and
Renyolds, weer rated All-Amer-ican
last year.
But in justice to the other great
backs of the nation, we should
pick the Ail-Americans by the
way they perform in 1951 and not
by their past laurels or the clip
pings they have filed away.

Nebraska weather took another
step in presenting the Big Seven
baseball crown to Oklahoma Mon
day afternoon as the fifth Husker
conference contest was cancelled
due to rain. The Scarlet were
scheduled to meet the Missouri
Tigers on the home diamond in
the first of a two-game series.
Coach Tony Sharpe announced
Monday that if the rain held up
long enough and the grounds were
not too wet, the second of the se
ries" would come off today as
scheduled. Game time has been
set for 3 p.m.
The Cornhusker weatherman,
who must have been born in
Soonerland, came up with an
other basketfull of showers Mon
day. The Tiger cancellation comes
on the heels of the calling off of
the second Kansas State game,
the second Oklahoma contest and
the entire two-game Iowa State
series.
The Huskers are currently in
second place with a 4-2 record, a
full gftme and a half behind the
leading Sooners who sport a 6-1
mark. Should the rains continue,
the Sooners will be named con
ference titleholders merely by
playing seven games.
7-2 Huskers Best
The best the Huskers can do
now is a 7-2 record. This would
call for victories over Mizzou to
day and a twin victory over
Kansas State this Friday and
Saturday at Manhattan. The
Okies could still lose one of their
four remaining contests with
Colorado and Kansas and still
wind up on top because of the
unequal number of games played.
A Big Seven ruling prohibits
the making up of postponed con
tests so the Huskers could never
quite catch the Sooners in the
percentage division. Of course, a
series of Nebraska losses or Okla
homa wins or losses would clear
up the loop muddle without
much difference of opinion.
If today's game can outsmart
the weather, it will be the final
home appearance for the 1951
edition of the Cornhusker" dia-
monders. It was just a week ago i
that the Huskers lost their last
start, this one a 5-7 tilt to the
leading Oklahomans.
McCormick Starts
Coach Sharpe will send sopho
more Dick McCormick to the
mound in an effort to keep on
the heels of the leaders. McCor
mick went all the way against the
Sooners last week and was tagged

RtjnsrnwSr

with the defeat. He allowed two
homers to first-sacker Sheets.
The Tigers are currently the
number three outfit of the loop,
possessing a 4-3 record. The
Tigers have been beaten twice by
Oklahoma and once by Iowa
State.
The Missourians will present
a team which does not boast many
heavy sluggers, but are excep
tional in speed and defensive abil
ity. Coaches describe their pitch
ers as "potentially very good and
generally consistent"
Top Batten
Bob Diers, Bill Fitzgerald and
Bob Reynolds are currently the
top three batsmen on the Husker
aggregation. Diers still holds the
top spot with a .400 average rep
resenting 20 safeties in 50 trips
to the plate. Fitzgerald moved
into the number two spot after
the Oklahoma fray. He collected
two for four against the Okies to
boost his average to .365.
Reynolds, the leading base
stealer, is sporting a .352 average.
The Huskers will close the
season at Kansas State in games
scheduled for Friday and Satur
day. The Wildcats are sixth in
the loop standings and had one
of their losses tagged on them
by the Huskers in Lincoln earlier.
McCormick hurled a 5-0 shut
out at the K. Staters and it is
expected that he may see duty
in the second contest Saturday in
an effort to repeat his perform
ance. Del Kopf will probably
get the nod as starter in the Fri
day game.
