Grapefruit League
Major Ball
Baseball play in the Grapefruit
League left nothing for the ex
perts to assert their opinions
upon, as errors and wild pitches
were frequent occurrences in big
league games.
Ageless Satchel Paige was aided
to a close 2-1 decision pver the
Chicago White Sox as St. Louis
Brownie Jim Upright smashed a
home run in the fifth. The
Browns garnered their other run
in the fourth when Vic Wertz and
Johnny Groth doubled to scqre
a run.
Harry Brecheen followed Paige
to the hill for the Browns in the
sixth, and was in turn relieved
in the last frame by Marlin
Stuart, who retired Jim Rivera
and Rocky Krsniah with runners
on second and third to break up
a ninth inning rally.
The World Champion New York
Yankees outslugged the Cincin
nati Reds 13-11 in a batting spree
that featured a total of 36 hits
for 54 total bases. Bobby Adams
led the Reds' 20 hit attack with
four base blows, while Him
Greenberg slammed three includ
ing a homer.
The Yanks collected 16 hits in
cluding a four base blow by Gil
McDougal.

John "Hi" Simmons' liking, as his
Tigers look ahead to their season's
opener just two weeks distant.
With only three regulars, and
his front-line pitching ace, re
turning from last year's flag-winning
team, Simmons knew the re
modeling task would be huge this
spring. But, so far, Ihere've been
all-to-few takers for the obvious
openings on Mizzou's nine.
"We have about six candidates
running neck-and-neck for posi
tions that need filling," Simmons
points out, "and if any of them
would go to hitting, they'd make
the team right now."
Hitting or lack of it is the
earliest defect in the Tigers' out
look, and Simmons, whose '52 Ti
gers whip-lashed the Big Seven
field and then rode through to
the finals of the NCAA tourney
on the wines of a .239 team bat
ting mark, is scouring the ranks!

lost. That would include his
hefty-hitting outfield of Junior
Wren (.359), Ralph Monroe (.318).
and Jack Patchett (.310), and
Kent Kurtz (.338), veteran second-baseman.
Also gone from the '52 outfit,
which compiled a 20-7 record, arc
third-baseman Ross Boeger, half-time-catcher
Carl Barbour, and
pitcher Dick Atkinson, No. 2 on
the staff with an over-all 8-3
mark.
That's a large chunk of talent
to lose at one swoop five regu
lars and a top-flight tosser.
Back on dock, though, are seven
lettermen enough to build on
and Simmons, beginning his 15th
coaching term at Missouii, has
enough pitching to defend his
crown ably. Headed up by Don
Boenker, an All-American choice
last year off his 9-2 record, Ti
ger hurling must be rated strong.
It could be extra-tough if John
Jenkins, sophomore fire-baller,
proves to the No. 2 man behind
Boenker.
Should the broad-shouldered
Jenkins, who pitched some last
year, falter, Simmons still can
lean on Bert "Bow-legs" Eeck

10 hits, while lefty Bill Miller was
pounded for 10 more hits in the
last four frames.
Rookie Barney Martin, upfrom
the Reds' Columbia, S. C, farm
club, was the loser as he was
touched for the run in the sixth
that broke a 9-9 deadlock.
The Milwaukee Braves beat the
St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 as rookie
first baseman Grant Dunlap was
lost indefinitely to the Cards.
Five stitches were required to
close a spike wound on Ounlap's
left foot. Dunlap was spiked by
Joe Adcock in the fifth when he
was trapped between first and
second base.

ing a home run by Ed Mathews

ers for vigoroulsy protesting a

thirteenth that gave the San
Francisco Seals a 5-4 victory
over the Cleveland Indians.
Macko dropped Al Rosen's throw
to first base with none out.

Beta Volleyball Squads Win
By BILL MUNDELL
Intramural Sports Columnist
Intramural volleyball launched
wholeheartedly into the 1953 sea-jM
son Monday as a full schedule of
books. , The action continues at
full pace throughout this week
and next as the 46 entered teams I
renew their struggle to gain the
playoffs on their path to the All-
University crown.
Six teams registered their sec
ond victories of the young cam
paign Monday evening while at
the same time, the Independent
entries began their competition.
Sigma Chi took over sole lead
ership of league I by throttling
Delta Tau Delta in two straight
games by tallies of 15-6 and 15-2.
It was the second victory of the
year for the Sigs in as many
outings.
Three teams gained 2-0 rec
ords in league II as Phi Delta
Theta. Beta Theta Pi and Phi
Kappa Psi continued their win
ning ways. The Phi Delts won
theirs the hard way as they lost
their first game to Alpha Gamma
Rho, 7-15, but then roared back
to capture the next two on scores
of 11-0 and 15-10.
The Betas were also forced into
three games before winning. Kap
pa Sigma triumphed in their in
itial encounter 15-9, but then
withered under the Beta spikers
by tallies of 15-3 and 15-5.
VThe Fhl Psrs got their victory
on two straight games, but had
to g& the limit in their first with
Theta Xi. The TX'ers battled the
defending fraternity "A" cham
pions on even terms throughout
that opening fray before falling,
14-16. The winners opened up in
the second, however, and romped
to a 15-0 shutout.

This is sepecially true for this
years edition or uornnusner
trackmen.
The team as a whole has some
top performers in almost every
event, but the spirited Huskers
lack reserve strength on the
track.
Nebraska hopes have been con
stantly hampered by injury and
scholastic ineligibilities. The first
blow was the unterminated loss
of Hobe Jones. Jones aggravated
an old knee injury while playing
in the university intramural
championships.
Manv of Weir's future plans re
volved around Hobe. His loss
left the middle distance runners
very thin. Hobe could run in the
440 and double in the hair ana
mile runs.
Doctors say that it is still too
early to tell whether Hobe will
be able to compete this year.
Clayton Scott was lost to the
Huskers through scholastic diffi
culties and broadjumper Irv
Thode was dismissed for disci
plinary reasons.
All is not dark in the Husker
camp. Charles Hunley returned
to the Husker campus after" be
ing away from school because of
his health. Hunley ran with the
best of the performers in his high
school days. He held the high
school record for the quarter
mile.
Another shot in the arm for
the Cornhuskers is the return of
Wendell Cole from the service.
Cole was a standout in the spring
of 1950 and has been showing his
pre-army form in practices. His

"The quality in the Big Seven

Weir cited Kansas' Corby and
