IHIopes on
Scarlet Retain Only Slim
Chance of Keeping Crown
By Bill Mundell
Sporti Editor, Dally Nebraska,,
Nebraska's baseball Cornhusk
ers dropped out of Big Seven
title contention Tuesday after
noon as they lost a tenrinning
heartbreaker to Missouri's Tigers
by a 4-3 count. The Huskers are
now in third place in the loop
standings with a 4-3 record. The
best they can do now with a
sweep over Kansas State is a 6-3
mark.
The league-leading Oklahoma
Sooners are two and a half games
in front, possessing a 7-1 loop
record. Missouri is the current
number two team by virtue of
their win over Nebraska. Their
record now stands at 7-3.
Nebraska still owns a mathe
matical chance at copping: the
title for the second straight year
and the third time in the last four
years, but that chance is slim in-1
deed. The Huskers would have to
cop both of their contests at Kan
sas State and the Sooners would
have to lose all three of their re
maining: battles. The Okies played
Colorado Tuesday afternoon and
have a home engagement with
the Kansas Jayhawks this com
ing weekend. Missouri, in the
meantime, would have to drop
one of their remaining games.
The Cornhuskers were beaton
Tuesday on two successive singles
after two were out in .the top of
the tenth. Dale Bunsen, hurling
for the Scarlet since the fourth
inning, struck out Laschke to
open the tenth. Patchett popped
out foul to third-baseman Johnny
Rego and it looked as though the
game might go at least 12 stanzas.
Mental Error Hurts
Kent Kurtz, Tiger second base
man, sent a grounder down first
base way and both first baseman,
Ray Mladovich, and second base
man, Bobby Reynolds, fielded the
ball, leaving no one to cover the
bag. Mladovich, in trying to re
turn to first, fell flat and Kurtz
was on with a dubious hit.
" To make matters worse, Kurtz
Was waved to second because in
the whirl of legs and rolling base-
Cat Hoskins
Changes Style;
Leaps Farther
It's considered almost an im
possible task for a person to
write with his right hand all his
life, change to the left hand and
write beautiful script, but that is
essentially what Herb Hoskins,
Kansas State's champion broad
jumper has done.
Of course, Herb hasn't changed
his writing habits, but he has
-' completely- revamped his jump
ing style after sustaining a se
vere injury to his right ankle in
practice. As soon as he was
able to put his weight on the
injured member, Herb was at the
jumping pit practicing jumping
from his left foot instead of the
right.
Almost 24 Feet
The Bennington senior's per
serverance has paid off. In his
first competition against Kansas
since the April 7 Texas Aelays,
Hoskins won his pet event with
a leap of 22 feet, 87s inches.
Even more encouraging is the
fact that he was taped at 23 feet,
8 inches on one scratch jump and
23 feet, 11 inches on another.
Of course that still is about a
foot shorter than the husky
kangaroo usually jumps, but he
is improving his timing every
day. With any luck at all he
should be able to defend the Big
Seven broadjump crown which
he has worn the past two years.
Credit ot Jumper
Coach Ward Haylett, who has
been spending a lot of hours help
ing his star jumper develop his
startling switch, gives all the
credit to Hoskins.
balls, he was Interfered with In
an attempt to make second base.
With Kurtz on second, Bob
Harting caught the idea and
lashed a single to left scoring the
runner.

runs for the Huskers in the big
fourth inning as the Nebraskans
were virtually eliminated from
the Big Seven race.
for Laschke in the botto half of
the tenth. Bob Lohrberg flew
deep to left, pinch-hitter Jack
Shull popped out to the second
sacker and Johnny Rego popped
out to the first baseman.
Laschke In Control
Laschke had the Indian sign
on the Huskers all the way. He
came in to pitch for the Tigers
in the sixth inning, replacing
Dick Atkinson, and in the five
innigs he worked, hen faced the
absolute minimum, fifteen men.
Only Bob Diers reached first
base during Laschke's regime.
Diers singled with two out in the
eighth, but was out trying to steal
second.
Mladovich almost won the game
for Nebraska in the last of the
ninth. After Bill Fitzgerald had
fouled out, "Tito" Ray lashed . a
mighty blow to left that was des
tined for the P.E. building.
Through the Fence
Left-fielder Harting had other
ideas, however, and wasn't going
to let the outfield fence stand in
his way. Harting smashed right
through the fence as he made a
terrific lunging catch for the
game's outstanding play.
Husker Bob Diers turned in a
couple of smooth fielding per
formances from his center-field
position, also.
In the third inning, he picked
up a single through the center by
gridder Junior Wren and fired it
to Bobby Reynolds who relayed
it home to catch Patchett trying
to score from second. Patchett
was part way home when he
thought better of the idea and re
turned to third..
Diers, however, bobbled the
ball in center and Patchett was
off again, only this time it was
too late.
Even Better.
Diers staged an even better
throw in the fifth inning. With
one away and Harting on third,
Tiger Bud Heineman clouted one
to Diers in center and Harting,
trying to score after the catch,
some four feet away from the
was nailed by a perfect strike
plate.
Two unearned runs gave the
Tigers the Jump in the fourth
inning. With one away, Husker
hurler, Dick McCormick walked
both Heineman and Ross Boeger.
Clyde Langenbeck popped out to
short to ease the situation a bit,
but pitcher Atkinson sent a
bounder to McCormick and Dick
ruled the ball high over the first
baseman's bead and both runners
came in to score.
The Huskers bounded right
back in their half of the fourth to
take the lead. Bob Reynolds
opened the frame with a single to
left and advanced to third as
Diers lashed a double off the
centerfield fence.
Mladovich Connects
Jerry Dunn went down swing
ing and Bill Fitzgerald rolled out
to the pitcher before Mladovich
came to the rescue with a liner to
right scoring both Reynolds and
Diers.
The Tigers let Mladovich take
sesond and he in 'turn rode home
on Bill Jensen's hit to left.
Mizzou tied the score in the
sixth as Harting singled home
pinch-hitter Bob Phillips who had
walked.

McGuire-Sempcr Duel Looms
As Big Seven Meet Highlight
Bill McGuire takes his final
cut at the Big Seven'f outdeor
mile title here on his home lay
ou this weekend and once again
Mizzou's . premier distance horse
will find a sturdy Kansan primed
to deny him that pinnacle.
This year's Jayhwak entry is
Herb Semper, the brilliant two
miler who will try to corner
both distance titles on Rolling
Field Saturday afternoon. Emerg
ing as a more durable hand this
season, Semper outtsped McGuire
in the anchor lap of the distance
medley at Drake, and was keyed
to call the Mlssourian's hand in
the last week's MAJ-KU duel,
postponed by rain.
A two-time conference indoor
mile champion, McGuire has
never won his tpecJalfty in the
Big Seven's outdoor derby. His
conqueror, both in 1949 and 1950,
was K. U.'f Bob Karnes the
4:16.2 league record in nothing
gritty Jayhawker who forged a
his third straight mile victory at
Lincoln last year. In 1949, Hal
Hinchee Karnes' stablemate
made it a1 1-2 Jayhawk finish,
pushing McGuire to tiJrd.
Mizzou's slender captain, whose
best 1951 mile was a 4:16.4
against Notre Dame, probably
will be compelled to flirt with
Karnes' record time in his bid

Dick allowed the Tigers four hits
while he worked and struck out
two aid walked two.
Bunsen Effective
Dale Bunsen took over in the
fifth and hurled good ball the rest
of the way, allowing but five
safeties. He was in trouble only
twice, in the sixth . and in the
fateful tenth.
Tiger starter, Atkinson hurled
no-hit ball , for the first . three
frames before being subject to
rude handling in the fourth with
the Huskers getting four bingles.

Netmen Close
Season With
Big 7 Tourney
Coach Ed Higginbotham and
his racketmen will ring down the
curtain on the tennis season Fri
day and Saturday when they en
ter the Big Seven tournament at
Columbia.
Bob Radin, Walt Weaver, Andy
Bunten, Jeff Delton and Frank
Redman are expected to repre
sent the Huskers.
Higginbotham- has not decided
yet what positions the men will
play in or who will play in the
doubles event.
The NU netmen have failed to
win a single meet all year. The
best they could do was cop one
singles and two doubles matches.
However, the Huskers have
been hampered throughout the
entire season by bad weather.
They were forced to cancel a
meet with Kansas State because
of rain.
During last April and early
May, Higginbotham's team was
forced to use the coliseum for its
practice quarters. The tempo
they must play in there is much
faster than is required outdoors.
And they could not get into top
shape, working out in the coli
seum. to hurl back Semper'i challenge
Saturday. The race could provide
the day's most throbbing duel,
and is further spiced with such
entries as: Cliff Abel and Keith
Palmquist, Kansas; Jim Wilkin
son, Oklahoma; and Dean Kays,
Kansas State.

cross-country cup last Fall, has
stromed successive anchor hitches

out McGuire's two-yard touchoff

also, since Bob Fox, ordinarily
Semper's closest pursuer at this
distance,, has been buffeted by a
prolonger siege of glandular
fever. The Kansas red-top will
rule a decided favor to pace the
two-mile field, and defend the
title he won in B:21 over Lin
coln's slow, soggy cinders.
Whatever McGuire's success in
going for the elusive outdoor mile
title, the slim New Yorker al
ready has made is niche as Mis
souri's all-time distance giant. He
hold school records in both the
mile (4:10.7) and two-mile
(9:16.7.) outdoors, the indoor
mile mark for M. U. atthletcs
(4:14.8), and shares the two-mile
indoor record (9:20.9) with team
mate Bob Fox.

AROUND THE
Huskers Get Athletes
According to Buffs
By Shirley Murphy
Found in the Colorado Silver
and Gold:
"Nebraska football coach, Bill
Glassford, we understand, gets
practically any boy he wants in
that state."
The statement was printed in
an editorial stating that Colorado
may attract the state's star ath
letes if they will make good use
of their opportunities to create
favorable public relations. Sev
eral of the causes for the Buffs
not getting' Colorado athletes
were the lack of sports participa
tion when the boys are growing
up and the competition with the
Colorado Aggies and Denver to
get the boys.
Anyway, let's hope that the
statement implies Bill Glassford
will have such All-Staters as Jim
Cederdahl, "Hoppy" McCue,
Dewey Wade, Doyle Fyfe, Paul
Fredstrom, Frank Ruvelo and
Jim Decker to help form his fu
ture winning Nebraska team.
A rugged .400 hitter has been
spurring the Kansas State base
ball team to recent victories. He's
burley Ed Robinson, 200-pound
outfielder. Robinson has made
six hits in 15 trips to the plate
which gives him a solid .400 av
erage.. Dick Johnson rates as r Coach
Husker Frosh
For Duals With Buffs, Jays
Nebraska's freshman track
team is about to launch their
first attempt in their outdoor
season when they will meet with
Colorado and Kansas in dual
meets.
The frosh cindermen were un
der a heavy handicap because of
the poor weather conditions last
week. Unlike the varsity meets,
the frosh postal meets "must go
on," whether the times and
marks are good or bad.
In their indoor ventures, tne
Husker frosh won two meets
while losing only one. iney
dropped Missouri and Kansas,
but lost to the Oklahoma fresh
man. Tom Carodine, Husker football
ace, will not compete in the out
door meets. He led the Husker
trackmen in total points for the
indoor season."
Don Smith, ex-Lincoln nign
and Grand Island flash, is the
boy upon whose shoulders the
burden of the dashes will rest.
He has been clocked at 10.3 in
the century and 22.3 in the fur
long.
Hunley Injured
Charles Hunley will be counted
on for points in the - 440 yard
dash. He ran close to the 53 sec
ond mark during the Indoor sea
son with an injured leg. He had
improved a great deal since the
leg injury has mended.
Clayton Scott, Grand Island
ace half miler, has been switched
to the mile run by Coach Ed
Weir. His improvement has been
great and, Weir will expect a
great deal from him next year.
Dan Lindquist of Axteli; JacK
Railsback, Lincoln, and Bob
Holmes, Gothenburg, carry the
frosh hopes in the hurdles. Also
breaking in to make this a tough
crew to beat is Cal German.
This all-around athlete is for
mer track star from Cozad. Not
only does he contribute points in
the hurdles, but in tne Droaa
jump as well.
Urtdders Help
Bill Giles and Cliff Dale, two
football huskies, will be relied
upon to carry the point parade
in the weights. They will throw
the shot and the discus.
The freshman boast of two 6
or better high jumpers. Fair-
Cardinals Hope
Johnson Aids
Key Position
The St. Louis Cardinals are
hoping that Billy Johnson will
solve their third base problem.
They acquired the stocky third
sacker from the New York
Yankees. The amount of cash the
Cardinals paid was not disclosed,
but it is believed they obtained
him at the waiver price of $10,000.
He not only performs smoothly
around third base, but he is also
a long-ball hitter. Johnson is a
righthand batter.
He was never able to hit more
than 12 home runs with the
Yankees, but the leftfield fences
in the National league should be
more to his liking than those of
the American.
Cardinal officials expect him
to team up with First Baseman
Steve Bilko to give them the
strength they need to go along
with lefthanders Enos Slaughter
.and Stan Musial.
The Cards also gave the Yanks
First Baseman Don Bollweg.

Sporting a "faster hat" than the
one stolen from him at the con
ference indoor meet in Kansas
City last March, Sooner Coach
John Jacobs will bring a thin,
but richly talented, Oklahoma
squad to the Big Seven outdoor
track and field championships at
Columbia May 18 and 19.
Anyone prone to write off the
Oklahoma track team after their
crack-up in the indoor meet
failed to reckon with the Soon
ers' terrific recuperative power.
Or with Jake's new headgear, for
that matter.
Disaster waylaid the Oklahom
ans at every turn during the Big
Seven indoor show two months
ago. Collisions and injuries beat
the Sooners out of certain points
in their strong events, and they
hobbled home fifth. To top it all
off, Coach Jacobs discovered on
returning to his hotel that some
body had lifted his hat.
The sequel to that hard-luck
tale has been most amazing. In
the early outdoor campaign, O.
U's squad blazed a brilliant trail
of relay and individual triumphs
wherever they s howed for dual
or relay meets.
Coleman Recovered
Just last week came wore from
the Oklahoma camp that the
team's rehabilitation was complete.-
Charley Coleman, last
year's outdoor .440 champion,
would be back to defend his title,
officials said. It was previously
feared he was through for the
1951 season, after pulling a
muscle in the indoor meet.
With Coleman back, and any
quartermile and mile relay staff,
the latter Sugar Bowl kingpins,
is even more formidable. Jake's
15-man Sooner troupe should
come into the twenty-third out
door classic with a better-than-passing
shot at the title. Not since
1935 have Oklahoma's track
knights claimed the conference
outdoor Grail.
In at least nine of fifteen events
on the outdoor card, Oklahoma
figures to pick up places. In some
cases the quarter, half, mile re
lay and broad jump, for instance
their point-loot could be heavy.
They are leanest in the short
sprints, hurdles, longer distance
hauls and the javelin.
Standouts in Oklahoma's strong
est suits are Jerry Meader, George
McCormick and Coleman, quar
termilers; Don Crabtree and Mc
Cormick in the half; and Quanah
Cox and Jimmy Smith in the
broad jump.
Meader turned the quarter in
:47.9, McCormick in :48.8 against
1:55.5, to win the half against
Nebraska recently. Cox leaped

'UR easy-going, big-billed friend has learned
24-ft. 2 inches in the Oklahoma
Aggie Relays, while Smith had a
23-8 14 jump for runnerup honors
at Drake.
There'll be no concessions any
where along the line, but O.U.'s
middle-distance-whizzers are a
good bet to grab three first
places in the 440, 880 and re
lay, at 10 points per copy for the
blue-ribbon finish, wits possible
extra rations at 8-6-4-2-and-l for
the next five places.
Potential Winners
Moreover, either Cox or Smith,
shotputter Clair Mayes and high
jumper Dick Jones are potential
winners. If Kansas State's ail
ing Herb Hoskins should falter,
the Sooners have the take-charge
entries. Mayes, the squatty
weightman who pushed the shot
52 feet at Austin, must get past
Colorado's Wally Tanner, the 1951
indoor king. Jones, the Drake
Relays bell-cow with his bets all
time spring of 6-ft. 7, encounters
a lustrous high-jump field, which
includes three others who've
gone 6-7.
Then there's vaulter Jerry
Lemon, sure of a high-bracket
finish with a 13-ft. 10 peak at
the Texas Relays. With Smith
and Jones doubling back in the
hurdles, Oklahoma can score here
as well as in the mile (Jim Wilk
inson), two-mile (Bruce Drum
mond) and discus (Art Horkey).
How to stop the Sooner bid?
That's the vexing problem other
Bib Seven Coaches are stuck
with.
Might help to steal Jake's new
est derby.
"It's a lot faster than the old
one," he chuckles.
