From Tho Sidelines
Revamped Husher Nine
Bids For League Title
Glenn Nelson
COaChTin,?htarp0'Si1USktri.baseba11 tea "PPear, well on Iti
way to upper division and possibly championship fame in trie Big
Seven conference this season. '
Although the league crown can be won only by hoeing the long
road with consistent good playing void of slumps and injury
plagues, the Huskers appear the team to beat for
the title.
Currently swinging their way through a
series of non-conference victories on the road in
the more southern regions, the NU diamondmen
have been featuring impressive play on the
mound, on the field and at the plate. Although
a baseball team's early Indications have no con
crete bearing on its continuance during the heat
of th mid-season's tense battle, we're watching
the Huskers hopefully. They could be the Uni
versity's first conference champs of 1953.
The NU baseball outlook has improved vastly
since the first workouts in February.
Last spring the Scarlet nine completed an
impressive 13-7 season, grabbing second nlaro in
standings, while graduating only three men from the lineup. Sharpe
lost outfielders Bob Diers and Milt Frei and shortstop Ray Mlado
vich. Then starting third sacker Bobby Decker and first baseman
Bill Giles transferred to West Coast schools, leaving Bob Reynolds
as the only returning vet on the infield, and Jerry Dunn as the lone
vet gardener.
With a power-packed mound staff returning to the fold". Sharpe
lost no time molding his new lineup around Revnolds, Dunn and
catcher Murray Backhaus. Ray Novak, a pitcher-first baseman on
tne ivm squaa, nas Deen handling first sack chores in fine fashion. :
Fred Seger, B team product of last season and star NU eager, has I
taken over third base, and 5-6 Diercks Rolston. Ronhnmnr frwMhnvi:
halfback, has been placed at shortstop, to complete what has so far
been a smooth-working infield.
Two more halfbacks from Coach Bill Glassford's grid squad

have shown expert ability in patroling the gardens.

HARD-HITTING TRIO . . . Nebraska's (left to rifht) Jim Cederdahl. Dennis Korinek and Jerry
Dunn have shown plenty of power at the plate and hustle in the gardens in early season NU base
ball games. Coach Tony Sharpe's Cornhusker diamondmen, currently Journeying the Southlands
and gathering an early string of victories, return to the home field nexi week, but do not open at
home until April 27-28 when they meet the invading Big Seven champs, the Missouri Tigers.
The Nebraska diamond crew
kept its powerful baseball ma
chine in high gear Wednesday as
they kept their unblemished rec
ord intact. After beating Baylor
at Waco, Tex., in the season
opener and then fighting back in
the second game of the twin bill
to gain a tie, the Sharpemen trav
eled to Tulsa, Okla., where they
beat the University of Tulsa, 7-3.
It was somewhat of a combin
ation of a repeat performance for
the hustling Huskers. They had
the same fine hitting and pitching
that they showed in their initial
contest and repeated the same
hustle they exhibited the day be
fore against the Baylor Bears to
break the game wide open.
The spotlight was shared by the
pitching performance of Ray No
vak and the hitting of left fielder
Jim Cederdahl.
It was Novak's fine pitching
chore that kept the Tulsans score
less the first six innings. Novak
surrendered only three hits in his
six inning stint and mowed down
four Oilers via the strikeout route.
Bob Kremke came on in the
seventh inning to relieve Novak
and yielded two hits in his time
on the mound.
It was rightfielder Gerald Dunn
who broke up a fine pitching bat
tle between Novak and Tulsa's
Moss. Dunn blasted his first home

run of the young season to push
the Cornhuskers into the lead to
stay. Dunn was Nebraska's third
team All-American baseballer last
season.
The game rolled along at a nor
mal clip until the sixth inning
when Cederdahl came up to the
plate and found himself con
fronted with a bases loaded situ
ation. Cederdahl took the role of
"Frank Merriwell" and boomed
a grand-slam home run to put the
Huskers comfortably ahead to
stay.
Tulsa narrowed the gap to two
runs in the bottom of the seventh
inning by pushing across two
counters. The Huskers removed
any doubt that they would win In
the top of the seventh by watch
ing Tulsa with two more rung.
hits to the Tulsans five. The Hus
kers had three miscues to Tulsa's
one.
The only other extra base blow
for the Huskers besides the two
home runs was a doubla by sec
ond baseman Bobby Reynolds.
As of Thursday afternort the
Huskers have a season record of
two wins and one tie compared
to Tulsa's one win and two loss
record.
The Huskers were scheduled to
play the second game of their two
day series with Tulsa Thursday
before moving on to Stillwater
where they tangle with the Okla
homa Aggies in another two game
series.
