Here's hoping that I'm not put
in my foot in my mouth when I
predict Coach Tony Sharpo's
young Husker baseball team to
win tha Bi Seven pennant this
year.
There Is a gigantic "if to add
to that statement,
Mlsoari's team, currently
leadlnr the conference race with
a spotless record, has quite an
advantare over the Husker nine.
The Kansas Jayhawks, who led
the league earlier in the sea
son when they handed the Corn
husker their only defeat, have
dropped out of the picture.
Should the Tigers succeed in
winning every league contest
which they play until the Nebraska-Missouri
series, they would
need only a split in the series to
win the conference title.
The Huskers could win the Big
Seven crown by beating Missouri
both games of the series and win
ning all other conference games.
Another obstacle confronting
the Nebraskans is the fact that
the aeries ts scheduled to be
played at Columbia, Any team
ts at an advantage while play
ing on their home diamond.
Defensively, the NU team ranks
probably at the top of the Big
Seven ladder. Although many
teams will lag defensively when
they hold a great scoring ad
vantage over an opponent, the
Husker nine has been consistently
good on the field during many
lopsided games this season.
Nebraska's pitching staff, domi
nated by sophomore talent, has
been tops this year, Ray Novak
leads the pitchers with a record
of three wins against no defeats.
Shortstop Ray Mladovich is the
only senior on Jsharpe s infield,
while the outfield will require a
complete changeover next season.
With veteran battery men and in
fielders, the Cornhusker team
should be the team to watch dur
ing the 1953 season as welL i

The Huskers possess a much

Intramural softball re-opened
the 1952 - season Monday with
seven first-round tourney con
tests reaching completion minus
any rain, showers or dew. Rain
and wet weather forced the aban
donment ot the regular season
play last week after 36 of the
first 46 scheduled games were
cancelled. A single - elimination
tournament, which is hard on the
losing teams, is now in progress.
Phi Kappa Psi put away its
softballs for the year as Delta
Upsilon came through with a
surprising- 7-6 triumph in that
first-round battle. The Phi Psi's ;
had taken two easy victories
during the abbreviated regular j
season and appeared to be one
of the better outfits, but the
DCs had other ideas.
Nil shortstop getting three for,

homer in the second to further,
the Mason cause. j
In the wildest game of the day
Alpha Gamma Rho and Beta
Theta Pi battled an extra inning
before the AGRs emerged with
a 17-16 victory.
It was a see-saw affair all
the way. The Aggies started
things rolling with a five-run
first and then saw the Betas
roar back and tie the count. The
losers took their first lead in
the second frame, a two run
margin at 8-6. It was the Aggies

the Betas again tn the fourth

Nebraska's talented baseballers
racked up their fifth Big Seven
victory in six starts by drubbing
an outclassed Kansas State nine
16-0 Tuesday night on the Husker
diamond. f
Big Ray Novak and Freshman
Bob Kremke combined to stifle
the Wildcat's bats with three
harmless singles. Novak, the start
er, chalked up his tnira straignt
win of the season.
Nebraska clinched the contest
with a six run outburst in the first
frame. They added seven more in
a wild third inning that saw
eleven men parade to the plate.
A defensive collapse on the part
of the Kansas State infield led to
the lopsided score. Ten miscues
along with ten free passes from
the Wildcat hurlers, Gene Ku-
bickl and Bob Parker, allowed the
Huskers to waltz to the win.
Nebraska hitters combed the
Kansas State offering for a dozen
blows. Big stickers were Catcher
Murray "Merr' Backhaus and
Outfielder Milt Frei with two hits
in three trips. Backhaus, Bob
Diers and Ray Mladovich each
were credited with a pair of runs
batted in.
Novak completely silenced the
Wildcat regulars. Giving up only
two bingles in seven frames, No
vak had a no-hitter until Joe Ar
nold lined one past first in the
fourth inning. Third Baseman Don
Prigmore collected the other
safety during Novak's stint The
righthander from Omaha Tech
gave up four walks and struck out
three.
Kremke, appearing in his first
Big Seven game, allowed Earl
Woods to connect for the remain
ing Kansas State hit.

a six mile per hour' wind dur

record books as a new dual meet
record.
Nebraska Coach Ed Weir is hop

Indoor dual meet record in the

victors with two hits in three
times at the plate. Don Frei, ,
Bnd Bxtrom and Smith all ;
collected two bingles for the
Phi Psi's, Frei leading off the
game with a home run.
Acacia pulled off perhaps the
biggest upset of the day by drub
bing the highly-touted Sigma Nu
outfit by a 10-4 count. The Masons

In holding the Brownies to
two scant bingles, Dannehl
struck out 13 men and in the
five inning game, thi was all
but two of his teams pu toots.
Two errors allowed by Bill
Moates hit in the fourth frame
paved the way to the three
losers' tallies, but it was of little
significance because the Beta
Sips were already on top by an
11-9 count. Schroeder rot the
only other Palace hit as Dan

Acacia hurler, Ewing, gave
the No's ten hits but scattered
them well, except in the third
inning when the losers scored
all their runs. The Mason slug
get battered Lyle Altmaa for
12 bingles and bunched them at
the rigbt time with all but one
of the starting nine collecting
at least one hit.
Only Don , Brym of the Nu's
solved the offerings of Ewing, the
Dannehl's efforts. One of Robert's
was a homer with bases empty.
Alpha Tau Omega blasted
Sigma Chi, 12-4 In their first
round encounter. Although the
Taus won handily and in a
four-inning contest as well, the
victors had to come from be
hind in the third frame to sweep
on to the second round.
The Sigs surpassed the Taus

ATO's had notched two more in

frames white the winners .were

All told, the Taus clouted nine
hits while Watson held the Sigs

sluggers with two safeties in three
trips. Sig Downey led the losing
cause with a similar effort

The Tekes had chalked up six

only to see their lead dissolve
under a seven-run Phi Delt
first.
The Tekes went ahead once
again in the third inning by a
13-12 count but that was the be-
dnnins of the end. The Phi Dells
pushed five runs across in their
hall of the same period and added
two clinchers in the fourth to win.
Both hurlers. Fisher for the Fhi
Delts and Goodman for the Tekes
were touched for plenty of hits.
The winners collected 13 while
the losers punched ten for safeties.
