Coach Tony Shnrpe's Husker
diamondmen, anxious to get back
into the lead of the Big Seven
baseball race, leave today for a
two-game series against the Iowa
State Cyclones at Ames.
The Huskers, only a few per
centage points off the pace in
the championship battle, may
run Into trouble against the
giant-killing Cyclones.
Iowa State handed Kansas its
only loss of the year at Lawrence
last week to drop the Jayhawks
to third place in loop standings
behind Missouri and Nebraska.!
toaen cap i lmrn s improving
youngsters have high hopes of
giving Nebraska its second loss
of the Big Seven season.
The Cyclone mentor will prob
ably call upon Don Burgess and
Jack Luhring for mound duty
against the Huskers, who boast
one of the league's top team bat
ting averages.
The Cornhuskers are sched
uled to play six games within
a period of nine days. This in
cludes a two-game series with
the league leading Missouri Ti
gers at Columbia Monday and
Tuesday.
The season ends with two
games against the University of
Colorado on the Cornhusker dia
mond Friday and Saturday.

Thane Is Bane!
Some might take Thane Bakers antics in Tuesday's Nebraska
Kansas State dual track meet as representing a great track per
formance. I don't!
Those who witnessed Kansas State's first outdoor track victory
over Nebraska won't forget the obvious cockiness possessed by
Baker as he tried to "egg on" his teammates in the 100 and 220-
yard dashes. It was disgusting in my book.
I can t take away the Tact that Baker is a
wi -i v fit Via ar 4i ivn oi"Aiin1 onrl W s Vq1 rr o i
game ser.es at Iowa State. But it and still win, he's a good man), but from mv
point of view, his attitude on the track is putrid.
Baker undoubtedly has earned the title of the
Cinderella of the cinders, but he is far from the
fair-haired boy some might make him out to be.
In the 440 (which, naturally, he won) Baker
purposely cut in on Buele Balderston around
the turn and crossed Balderston's stride up in
an effort to push Jerry Rowe into second place.
Things like this are done all the time in track
meets, I suppose. It seemed uncalled for in this
meet . . . I've always thought sportsmanship held
precedent over any victory, especially in track.
It was also rather dishearting to see Don Bed-
ker get "conned" out of the 220-yard low hurdles win. Don reallv
smacked his leg on that first timber and has a very deep gash their
to remind him of the defeat.
Don't Count The Chickens
Most of the SDortalk around these narts has it. that, the Ne-
team braska baseball tea mis all but in on the Big Seven basebal crown.
If so. Coach Tonv Shame isn't aware of the fact.
It's not going to be as easy as some persons prophesize. They're
going to have to win the rest of their games this year and must de
feat the Tigers in both ends of their doubleheader in order to win
the title.
This is taking for granted that the Tiger diamondmen win
the rest of their schedule except the Nebraska tilt, May 12-13.
A big factor involved which makes it imperative for Nebraska
to win both games at Columbia is the fact that Mizzou will play
one more game than the Huskers this season. The Kansas-Nebraska
game was postponed because of rain in Lincoln earlier this season.
Therefore, if the Huskers split, they will lose the title to Mis
souri by one-half game. I
Missouri has a tough slate to face before they win the crown
but Nebraska is not as close to the pennant as everyone has made
them out to be.
Intramural Softball Battle-Royal
The intramural Softball tournament has been blessed with
clear weather for a pleasant change from last year. The tournament
is heading into the final stages and it's time for picking the winners.
