It'll be a wdo-ordie" proposi
tion when the Nebraska baseball
team makes its trip to Norman,
Okla., to match runs with the
Oklahoma Sodners.
The Huskers must win the
doubleheader or they will be all
but out of the runninr for the
league championship. They will
have to keep both eyes on the
tough Sooners and just hope
that the Kansas State diamond
can rise to the occasion and
bump off the undefeated Mis
souri Tigers.
Ray Novak will make his sec
ond starting assignment for Coach
Tony Sharpe Friday in the opener.
Novak has been working on the
team as the starting first baseman
and also beat the Drake Bulldogs
in the second same of that double-
header.
It was the only hurling Novak
has done for the Cornhuskers
this year and it was a nifty
three inning one-hit perform
ance. BiM Giles, sophomores
from Alliance, will take over
Novak's first sack chores.
Pat Mallette, pitcher from Uhel
ing, will take the hill for the
Huskers in the Saturday finale.
Mallette twirled a two-hitter at
Kansas State as the scarlet came
through with a 14-1 victory.
Bob Diers, who Coach Sharpe
hopes has found the range after a
slow start in hitting, will move to
the clean-up position in the bat
ting line-up to replace Novak.
Nebraska's conference record
now stands at two wins and one
loss. They dropped the Wild
cats twice at Manhattan and
dropped a 6-1 decision to the
University of Kansas.
The traveling squad: Ray No
vak, Pat' Mallette, Dick McCor
mick, Fran Hofmaier, Charley
Wright,, Jim Cederdahl Backhaus,
Bill Giles, Bobby Reynolds, Ray
Mladovich, Bobby Decker, Jerry
Dunn, Bob Diers, Milt Frei and
Dick Christoph.
The Kansas State baseball team
will play a return match with the
Huskers when they visit Lincoln,
April 29-30. This is expected to
boost Nebraska's chances of over
taking the Missouri club for
league leadership, if the Corn
huskers can, beat Missouri when
they battle at Columbia, May 12
and 13.

The weather man has struck' another hard blow at the intra

weather conditions have forced a cancelling of all regular scheduled
league games in order to go into the playoffs.
Again, as last year, softball players in the leagues are moaning

At any rate, the ears of this writer have
been opened to the many complaints of drop- Kushner
ping the regular IM play and putting the single elimination into
effect.
This little masterpiece of American literature isn't intended to
reprimand the intramural department in any way. We are aware
oi tne iact that there is less than a month to complete the tourna
ment and this action was taken as a last resort.
But wait until we get our hands on ole Jupiter B. Pluvious!
Complaint Department
Open your mouth about the outcome of the maior leasrue season
and you can't help but put your footsie in it.
When we came out with our selections for the 1952 major league
finishers we were the natural target for a barrage of complaints.
Most qi tne tongue lashings came from loyal Cleveland Indian fans.
One fan, who insisted on calling me a "bum" even though I
didn't have my Brooklyn uniform on that day, couldn't see how I
could choose "those old bunch of ex's and not a spirited, fighting
St. Louis Brown team." (The "old bunch" he referred to are the
New York Yankees.)
We'll have to admit the Yankee team, as a whole, has a great
deal of "experience" behind it, but they are far from the point of
diminishing returns on American league victories and World Series
invitations.
At any rate, we won't budge from our stand that the Yanks and
Dodgers will be in the 1952 World Series. (All bets taken at the
sports desk between 2 and 5 p.m.)
Missouri Gridders Finish Drills
They'll all be in after Saturday. That is to say the Big Seven
spring practice sessions will be climaxed by the Missouri Tigers in
their iinaie against the Tiger alumni.
Some mighty flashy names appear on the Bengal grandfathers
roster. Johnny Kadlec, Bus Entsminger (coach), John Glorioso,
Dick Braznell, Ed Stephens and the Fuchs boys, Bob and Bill.
It should be one of the toughest games the Missouri varsity
will encounter this year. It's hard to think about football with
this spring weather prevailing and spring sports dominating the
sports scene.

when they make their trip to the
Iowa State capital.
Iowa State will enter ali evants

Coach Carl Burl V. Berry an
nounced today.
"We may shift out of some
events If it will help us in
'others," Berry said, "but we'll
complete in a heavy list of events
just the same."
Berry has listed 33 men for
seven relays and 11 individual
events. Tod individual performers
entered are Jim Robertson, 1951J
place winner in the discus; John
Wilkin, who has placed second and
third in the Texas and Kansas Re
lays, and Jim Kent, a place winner
in the, Kansas Relays and hop-ateD-iumD

Meanwhile the Iowa State base'

and Kansas, cap Timm, lowa state
coach, and 16 players win mane
the trip.
Cyclone opposition on the trip
will be two of the toughest
teams in the. loop. The Tigers
have come up with a lot of new
faces but even greater power
than in 1951. Coach Hi Sim

likely to stop the Oklahoma
march to a second straight Big

The Mighty Cerv At The Plate
T'was a gloomy day
In the empire state,
The Yank were behind,
The innings were eight.
When out of the hole
Just this side of third,
Stepped Strongboy Bob Cerv
The ovation clearly heard.
"i
All spines were a tingling
Of hopes for a blow,
The pitcher wound up
And here comes the throw.
Tis a bingle in left
And Cerv is the gun,
But the Red Sox are Joyous,
They romped three to one.
But down through the years,
Though losing the game,
The Yanks'll remember
That glorious eighth frame.
T'was a gloomy day
In the empire state,
But joy reigned in Boston,
Cui Cerv's hit was too late.

Rains Slow
IM Softball
The intramural schedule has
been jumbled almost completely
as far as the softball games are
concerned.
Rain and muddy diamonds
have caused a complete change
in the slate. Onl a few ball
games have been played off,
and many of thesi havet been
called off at the ed of the first
few innings, and thus cancelled.
The problem looms before the
intramural department concern

of the games.

CHANGE OF UNIFORM
Missouri Trackmen To Drake
About 12 to 14 Missouri track
men will be in action at Des
Moines this weekend, with six Ti
gers slated to compete in indi
vidual events on the Drake Re
lays program.
In the relay events, the only
Mizzou entries will be the four
mile and two-mile teams which
placed in the Kansas Relays. The
four-mile entry, second to Kan
sas in the Jayhawks' record-setting
win at Lawrence, will have
Bob Lindquist, Jerry Piper, Ches
ter Franz and Bert McVay or
Harold Stephenson.
This race comes off Friday
afternoon, while the two-mile
relay is held on Saturday. Mis
souri's personnel in the latter
race will be John Boucher,
Clayton Hall, McVay and
Stephenson or Frani. The Ti
gers took fourth place in the
two-mile baton race at Law
rence. Seeking individual laurels, Mis
souri's Bob Fox will be running
in his two-mile specialty Friday
afternoon. Other Gold and Black
performers due to appear in the
Drake carnival are Bob Gorden,
high jump; Frank Dickey, pole
vault; and Don iZmmerman and
Bill Fessler, javelin.
Fessler, the long-striding grid
halfback from Kansas City, also
will take another whack at the
400-meter hurdles race this week
end. At Lawrence last Saturday,
he qualified, but failed to place,
in this Olympic year event.
Fessler did, however, pick up
, fourth in the javelin. Gorden
tied for third in the high jump
at 6-ft. 6'i inches a good
early-season climb for the Uni
versity City senior. Dickey tied
for third in the pole vault at
12-ft. 6.
Another sprinter or two may
be added to the travel squad,
Coach Tom Botts said, before the
Tigers leave Columbia Thursday
afternoon.

Scarlet 'Play And Pray'
That Mizzou Team Loses
Nebraska's baseball team will
be playing and praying at Nor
man, Okla., this weekend when
they meet the Sooners.
They'll be playing hard to
beat Oklahoma and stay in the
Big Seven conference race and
praying hard that the Missouri
Tigers, league leaders, will take
their first beating this year.
Rained out of the Kansas series
at Lawrence MoViday and Tues
day, Mizzou's baseball team will
take on Iowa State at Columbia,
Friday and Saturday in Big Seven
contests.
For Coach Hi Simmons' club,
the two clashes with Iowa State
will be the last home games
until May 9. In the Interim, the
Tl-ri will be on the road for
fivo straight games. They then
return to their own diamond,
playing the last glx conference
games at home.
Simmons will pitch his two best
moundsmen Dick Atkinson and
Don Boenker against Coach Cap
Timm's visitors. Both own 2-1
records so far, with Boenker's
one-hitter in the T.C.U. triumph
giving Mizzou top-flight hurling.
The chunky right-hander
from Normandy high In St
Louis picked up his loss In re
lief against Oklahoma A&M
when Dale Roark tagged htm for
a two-run homer In the ninth.
Boenker, incidentally, is carry
ing Missouri's offensive lead in
fine style, too. He leads M.U. hit
ters with a .667 average, while
second baseman Ken Kurt owns
the best mark among the regulars
at .471.
His timing off after missing the
first seven weeks of pre-season
batting drills, Captain Junior
Wren is well down tne taoie in ine
